Being outdoors and discovering new wonders is always great. However, sometimes life takes an unexpected turn, and survival is your only hope. For these 7 families and individuals, they were lucky enough to survive to tell the stories of their unfortunate events.
As Popular Mechanics writer John Wenz relates in his article when talking about famous survivor Aron Ralston: "No one knew he was there, and he only had a little bit of water and a little bit of food. It was up to him to rescue himself. He struggled for three days, before deciding to self-amputate in order to extricate himself. But after two days of trying various methods, he nearly gave up. At this point, he was out of water and surviving on his own urine. That is until an idea came to him on day six: he could amputate a portion of his own arm much easier if he could only break his radius and ulna."
