...How I survived 71 days lost in the Outback

Worth Reading: Yes

Summary: Ricky was driving along the Buntine Highway when he stopped to lend assistance to a car on the side of the road. He woke up half buried and covered by a tarp. Left for dead in the middle of nowhere.
This is his tale of survival as he tried to walk out of hell. No shoes. No water. No one knew where he was, including himself.
Eating, frogs, crickets, leaches, water lillies, wild rosellas and anything else he could shove down his throat. He walked for miles and managed to survive for 71 days before being found by station hands, emaciated and close to death, he had lost 60 plus kilograms.

This is an excellent true story and shows that if one keeps one’s wits together and aren’t picky about what one eats... you can beat the odds.
