猎人独自在荒野打猎受重伤

   A hunter, who crawled for days through dense wilderness in search of help, is recovering in hospital. Alone, John Sain had to dig deep to survive for almost four days in remote wilderness, with little food and water.
The experienced hunter said he’s been camping alone since he was 13 years old. But after following a strong elk deep into the woods Thursday morning, something happened Sain couldn’t have anticipated. “I stepped up on a log, there were two long logs, and my foot trapped in between them,” he said. “I went forward and it hit the bottom bone of my right leg, which was broken into halves.”
Sain had no cell service and was miles from the trail, but after writing emotional goodbye letters to his wife and two children, he made a decision. He used sticks and cloth to make a splint for his injured right leg. Then, he began to crawl.
“For two and a half days I drug myself out of there,” said Sain. He had a survival kit with him, a little food and a water purifier. Each night, he would light a fire for warmth. But by Sunday, his fourth day alone, he started to break down.
That afternoon, two men on motorcycles happened to come across him injured on the trail. One of those men called for help. McCall Fire and Rescue was sent out to find Sain. Over the phone, a McCall firefighter told people to clear the way for Life Flight to land in the dense wilderness. Sain was sent to hospital for treatment. He’s expected to be in the hospital for the next few days as he continues to heal.
Despite everything that happened, Sain says he will go out hunting alone again, but next time with a satellite phone or GPS locator. He says his story should be a reminder to others to be very prepared when heading out into the wilderness. Be sure to tell someone where you’re going and when you plan to arrive home. Always carry a survival kit in case something goes wrong.
