5 Insane Survival Stories
3. He Survived the Australian Desert By Eating Frogs
In 2001, Ricky Megee woke up face down in the middle of the Australian desert, half buried, with a bunch of dingos trying to eat him. This was the first sign that there were going to be some difficult times in his immediate future.
………………..
After 10 days of Australia failing to kill him, which we believe might be some sort of record, Megee managed to make camp near a water dam by building a small shelter out of twigs and branches.
………………..
For the occasional treat, Megee would catch a frog, and, as he explained it, “I slipped them on to a bit of wire and stuck the wire on top of my [shelter], let the sun dry them out a fair bit until they were a bit crispy and then just ate them.” If that doesn’t exactly sound like a balanced diet: Don’t worry! You’re not crazy. It’s totally not a good idea at all. While he was eventually found by farm workers and rescued, here’s what Megee looked like after his ordeal:
2. Adopted by Monkeys
Marina Chapman was 4 years old when she found herself the victim of a botched kidnapping. The last thing she remembers is being grabbed from behind, blacking out, and waking up in the Colombian jungle.
………………
After a few years of this, Chapman became an expert in stealing rice and fruit from nearby villagers, who would throw stones to drive her and her elite band of monkey thieves back into the jungle. Eventually she did reach society, where she used her jungle skills to run a gang of child thieves. The story increasingly sounds like the most ridiculous flavor of bullshit — like blueberry, maybe — but it’s verified again and again by witnesses who recall the girl and vouch for her character.

1. Trapped Three Days In Sewrage
Seventy-five-year-old World War II veteran Coolidge Winesett once spent three days trapped beneath an outdoor toilet. There’s … just no pretty way to put that.
………………
Eventually, the local mail carrier became concerned about the letters piling up in Winesett’s mailbox, and he went to check on the man, whereupon he heard a weakened cry for help coming from the direction of the outhouse.
The mail carrier promptly rushed to help, and members of the volunteer fire department pitched in not long after … presumably after the most high-stakes drawing of straws in county history.
