Sounded unprepared then panicked

Wow

Well the satellite phone didn't work

i read it all too, for some reason it interested me greatly

Wow

That was amazing

I rarely read articles word for word


But this one I did.

I read this entire article word for word

Fascinating

Should have had two or some kind of back up if you're going into the last frontier in the modern world.

That's more money

This should be pinned

Amazing story

I'm glad he made it out safe

Excerpt

The property was junky, a moss-filled wetland. Yakushin wouldn’t be able to build anything on it, let alone farm.

---end of excerpt---


The government of Alaska robbed him, and almost killed him

They sold him the dangerous uninhabitable land without making him aware of the reality

Me too.

The guy should've gotten a ham license and he could have been in contact daily on HF radio.

Same old story 48 er.

The asshole should have stayed in New York with the rest of the needy, clueless assholes. What a jackass.

He's a total idiot.

Hard to feel bad for Millennials hooked on phones. Maybe he should have researched Into the Wild?

For soy poisoned hipsters who think real life is like what they see on TV.

Here’s the Cliff’s notes; hipster goes to woods 10,000 miles from nowhere. Hipster doesn’t like it, tries to call sky Uber but his phone doesn’t work. His primary concern is that he can’t call his mother. Floats on a raft eating granola bars until cops find him. Saw a moose. Holy shit, the horror.

It ain’t exactly 127 Hours material.

what a little mamby pamby. go shoot a large animal and start insulating to overwinter. no gun cus u retarded? no problem, stop being a litle bitch, create a bear trap with yourself as bait, when within melee range, slit its throat.

stupid humans dont know ho to use their god given selves ffs.

The State of Alaska refused to give him a refund

And this is how the US Govt robs people

Selling stuff on false pretenses

Moron. Satellite phones technically work anywhere. So, he could have tested it anywhere too. Probably trying to be cheap and not use money on testing. He learned a good lesson on reliance on technology. I see young people in moronic dazes like this all the time. Full of answers and can't fathom they might not be correct. They can't comprehend there are things outside of their comprehension. They have no ability to look at themselves or their situations from 3rd party objective viewpoint. The very concept they find almost repulsive. Question:: Did he ever consider a dry run of setting up a camp prior to being nowhere. Probably not because he read everything in the internet. Which amounts to a bunch of stories on sites that are paid by advertisers to get you to read their stories. There's a chance nothing he read was even written by anyone with any experience.

No shit. If your phone is your only chance at survival you better bring 3 of them.

He gives his gun and his knife to a cop at the end and then begs to be taken home. Holy shit son, lay off the soy.

me too, fascinating

His satellite phone did not break

It just didn't work

He's now suing the satellite phone company

Good thinking

Thanks

despite the story at least he was a legal immigrant

The age of the phone idiot is now upon us. Just spent some time with my nephews or should I say spent some time with my millennial phone addicted nephews. Dont see them often and they really could care less since they spent most of the time with me and my wife with their heads buried in their fucking phones. Breakfast not a word spoken just screen time screen time screen time. Robots of the new millennium. The alien controllers have won.
