Attention US Investment Immigration Follow US news: According to US media reports, a 72-year-old hunter in San Francisco, USA got lost while hunting in the deep mountains and was finally rescued after being trapped for 18 days.
In a media interview, Jeremy Penaflor said that his father Gene Penaflor "looked the same as the last time we saw him, just with a longer beard."”
On September 24, Gene set out with his hunting partner from a campsite in Mendocino National Forest, but they split up for hunting, agreeing to meet for lunch. Later, Gene accidentally slipped and fell down a steep slope, losing consciousness. When he woke up, it was dark, and Gene was forced to make a makeshift campsite.
In the deep forest, Gene survived by eating squirrels, lizards, snakes, berries, and algae, using leaves to cover himself for warmth.
The day after Gene went missing, authorities launched a search and rescue operation, but after four days of finding no clues regarding his whereabouts, they declared the search canceled. At least once, Gene saw a rescue helicopter and attempted to signal for help but was not discovered.
Last Saturday (the 12th), a team of hunters accidentally found Gene and brought him out of the forest.
Local officials said that Gene was still laughing and joking continuously, remaining very positive and optimistic despite having gone through such hardship.
