A shirtless hiker who went missing in remote California mountains has been found alive ten days after he vanished – having survived by drinking water from his boot and eating wild berries.
Lukas McClish, 34, set off on June 11 on what should have been a three-hour walk to visit some rare granite outcroppings in the Big Basin Redwoods State Park in Boulder Creek. more
A 3-hour walk…
🙂
For Christ’s sake he could have walked to Nevada in ten days
Should change his name to Gilligan…except – even as a supposed experienced hiker – he caused his own situation whereas Gilligan did not. And 34? Dude looks 60. He got lucky.
LCD, was he a professor and did he build a radio receiver from coconuts and seaweed?
😂
Bullshit. Pure bullshit. It so happens I lived in Boulder Creek for four years before getting the hell out of California for good in 2012. Big Basin isn’t small, but it isn’t so big that if you were dropped into the middle of it you couldn’t find your way to “civilization” in one day or less of simply hiking downhill. I figure he had ten days worth of weed with him and came out of the weeds when he ran out of week. Or maybe his Bic ran out of butane.
Yet another libtard dumbass throwing himself on the good graces of others.
I was bird hunting in very heavy fog on a fenced section of land and got into a half mile foot race behind a rooster w/my dog Elsie. My Annie finally broke off and circled out in front and came back and put the trap on the bird and flushed it and I shot it and when the dogs were bringing it back in I heard help, help, help. Hmmm, wonder what the problem is? Followed the sound and there was a guy there who was in a total panic. He had been lost for four hours and thought that the end was near. This was on a fenced section of land mind you. He asked if I had a compass and about lost his damn mind when I told him that I didn’t. Once I convinced him to shut up and listen and tell me what he heard he said all he couldn’t hear anything except motor vehicle traffic and that we hopelessly lost. I told him that the motor vehicle traffic might be Interstate 5 and if he walks toward it he will come to a fence that is vehicle should be parked along.
Remember – these people vote!
Jeeze!
I thought this was obvious….
Walk to a high point and look around. You might see some evidence of civilization in the distance.
Walk downhill. When you reach a ditch or stream follow it downstream. You will eventually cross a road or reach some area where there are people.
Duh!
The horror of not being on TikTok for more than 3 hours.
For his next trick he’s going canoeing https://cowboystatedaily.com/2024/06/24/outdoors-people-stupefied-at-canoe-tied-horizontally-on-top-of-vehicle/
I own and drive a 2009 Subaru Forester, it’s a great car but I’m not stupid enough to put any kind of gear sideways on top of my car. The roof rack goes from front to back not to the sides, what a maroon.
He should have come across a road or power line long before ten days.
And, going out without a shirt? What sort of barbarism is that?
Well, one nice thing about being a career Soldier is that I’m never going to get lost.
Most humans are just so jackass stupid.
I cannot speak for today’s Soldiers since Land Nav is now Gender Nav…
I call bullsh!t.
Probably filmed the whole thing for Tik-Tok.
Next he’ll have a gofundme page.
He should have to pay for the rescue effort.
Also my new favorite site.
Let’s you bypass site that block content.

This is like somebody being stuck on a stopped escalator and waiting for the government to come and get them off.
They walk and drive among us.
Must have been some nutritious toe jam in those boots?
How’d he get a 10 day supply of water in a boot?
He also admitted that he ate a spotted owl. Wildlife officials decided not to charge him for killing an endangered species, since it was a matter of survival.
When a journalist asked him what spotted owl tastes like, he replied “it’s sort of similar to whooping crane and bald eagle.”

Look at the map; he was literally no more than 1/2 days walk to Highway 1. What a putz.
Could’ve avoided all that shit if he had only left a trail of Reese’s Pieces along his hike.
you can survive, I’ve been wandering lost in california for 62 years and lived on doritos and beer without a problem. just keep a positive outlook.
@Uncle Al: He was lost, but saw Jussie Smolett’s attackers, and OJ’s real killers while he was missing.
I grew up in the Bay Area and I am very familiar with Big Basin. Like Unky Al says, he would of had to work hard to avoid other people.
P.S. I always knew Al was a Hippie at one point in his life. LOL
@Brad — While I was living in Boulder Creek I was enjoying that hippie lifestyle during all the spare time I had while I was working 60 to 70 hours/week for Visa. I think I left my love beads in my other pants some time in the 70s! 💈
^^^^ LOL Al. You gotta admit, much better times. Love Beads. LOL. Haven’t heard that one in a while. We were almost neighbors back then.
Oops. Forget I mentioned Visa. I used to work for “the world’s largest international payment processing network, with headquarters in Foster City, California.”
@Brad — I used to be able to get from Boulder Creek to Foster City, just about exactly 50 miles, in just about exactly 60 minutes. In a diesel Jetta with 120,000 miles on the clock. Boy, I really LOVED that Skyline Drive (CA35).
I smell another fraud. He’ll be writing a book, soon. Reminds me of the kid in the balloon fraud a few years back.
