Mike Vilhauer's story
Mike Vilhauer spent a week lost in California's woods while he was fishing. He was lost and had stopped heading back. So he decided to hide under a pine tree to get some shade from the sun. He became thirsty and hungry again the next day, so he took a drink from puddles. The next day, he wandered in circles, trying desperately to find a way back to civilization.
Mike was exhausted after five days hiking in the mountains. He had a realization. He wrote a note to his family explaining the situation and his regrets. On the morning of Aug. 10, he saw a helicopter overhead. He raised his arms high in the air to draw the attention of the pilot who saw him and alerted search-and-rescue crews to his location. He was rescued by rescuers from nine or ten counties, including Nevada. His story was then broadcast nationally on television.
