He had eleven hours of water left And eleven hours wasn't going to be enough Three days earlier, this was supposed to be a quick solo hike No one knew where he was Then climbing down a narrow chute a single boulder shifted 800 pounds of rock came down and pinned his right arm against the canyon wall He was completely alone No cell signal. No trail nearby Nobody knew which canyon he'd chosen Day one. He rationed his water. Chipped at the rock with a dull multi-tool knife. It barely scratched the surface Day two. Temperatures dropped below freezing at night. He had no jacket Day three. His water ran out completely. He started drinking his own urine to survive By day five, he recorded goodbye messages to his family on his camcorder. He believed he was going to die there Then, on day six — he had an idea so extreme, most people would never even consider it He realized he could break the bones in his own forearm — and cut through the rest himself It took over an hour. Bone. Muscle. Nerve. All without any anesthesia When he finally broke free, he still had to rappel sixty-five feet down a sheer rock face one-armed Then he hiked eight more miles through the desert — blood loss, dehydration, no water, no help That's when a family hiking nearby spotted him and called for a helicopter rescue He survived a hundred and twenty-seven hours trapped — with eleven hours of water.
