Man survives 3 days on nothing but Coors Light
Colin Joliat There are plenty of reasons not to live in Alaska, but the foremost would that snow appears out of nowhere like Batman in a digital short. A close second would be that there is apparently nothing to do.
Last week outside Nome, Alaska, a man decided to drive “his pickup truck from home to explore how far north a road would take him.” That sentence alone ensures that I will never move to America’s outpost. Alaska is so terrible that they don’t even have maps let alone Google. Then, like a ninja assassin, the snow swept in so quickly and severely that he couldn’t get home.
“I made an attempt at digging myself out and realised how badly I was stuck,” the Telegraph quoted him as telling the Anchorage Daily News.
“I would have been frostbit before I ever got the thing out of there,” he said.
Something is amiss here. First, he claims to have just gone driving to see where a road ends. That’s the worst excuse to leave home I’ve ever heard. Now, he seems to be conveniently omitting the part about what he was doing while his truck was being being buried. Is Alaska so crazy that you can get snowed in while driving? Was he at the strip club and didn’t want his wife to know? Is he having a romantic relationship with a bear? There’s something sketchy going on, and I want answers.
Without food, and with temperatures dropping to -17C, he found a few cans of Coors Light beer in his truck that had frozen, and ate them like tinned food.
“I cut the lids off and dug it out with a knife,” he said.
He didn’t have to see his wife or kids for three days and had nothing but beer? Sounds like spring break to me. In any case, this guy is tough as nails. I would have attempted to snap my own neck by the 36-hour mark, but armed with a few cans of “The Coldest Tasting Beer in the World,” he managed to survive for 60. Your move James Franco.
