An extreme snowmobiler was riding one day into an area that was not meant to be visited. He was so confident in his ridings that he didn't have basic needs like water and food, part of the mindset was to ride without any survival gear. The 54-year-old Idaho man said he was snowmobiling along a steep ridge last Sunday. The snow apparently cut loose beneath him, sending him 3,000 feet down hill. His snowmobile landed on top of him but he was able to push it off, and ran its engine for heat over the next 30-plus hours. Lost and with no hope for survival left, he wrote goodbye notes to his wife and kids on his cellphone. But about two hours later, five friends who had followed his snowmobile tracks rescued him. The men gave Sadler dry clothes, blankets and food. However, it took five hours to hike out of the drainage and they had to walk another two miles to reach the snowmobiles they rode in on. It took another six miles to get to Sadler’s home. Sadler suffered some broken bones in his hands and had frostbite. Thank gosh this man had trustworthy and caring friends like he did.
I am glad he was able to be saved, in an instance like this one should always travel with friends.
ReplyDeleteVery lucky he has good friends who care.
ReplyDeleteThis guy should have been I Almost Died on Discovery Channel , but glad he's okay
ReplyDeleteI hope that people will hear stories like this and be more cautious when going out. I'm glad that this can be called a survival story and I hope that he is recovering nicely.
ReplyDeleteThis is a story you'd see on How I Survived on the Discovery Channel. That's amazing that Sadler had friends that were willing to go to the extremes to rescue him.
