😉 Greetings to regular and new readers! How to survive on a desert island? An incredible story that happened in 2006 will tell about this.
Adam Jones is the name of a young Englishman who found himself on a desert island. There you can die or lose your mind. But you can accept the circumstances and not give up hope. Jones was rescued by a technology called Google Earth.
Desert Island Survival
The man got to the uninhabited island in 2006 when he was traveling by sea with two friends from Liverpool to Hawaii. Everything was smooth at first. They crossed the Atlantic Ocean. However, in Tikhiy, people were in danger in the form of a formidable storm.
Adam’s friends were washed off the yacht by a huge wave, and Adam himself was unconscious for several days. But the young organism won and he survived, but he had to drift in the ocean for 17 days.
Then the yacht washed ashore. The electrical equipment installed on the ship as a result of the storm was malfunctioning, so Adam Jones was unable to send a signal for help.
The captive islander later said that the first few weeks, when he was experiencing a shortage of fresh water, turned out to be the most difficult for him. Then the islander made a device that collects rainwater. This saved him from death.
At first he lived on his yacht, but soon decided to build a small house on the island. In 11 weeks he managed to “saw down” one of the trees growing on the island. He used a shell with sharp edges as a “saw”.
Difficulties lay in wait for the young man and with the procurement of food. The hunter was unarmed, so he could not hunt wild goats that live on the island. The goats were very agile.
Adam was once lucky, one goat ran into the bushes, but got stuck there. He had to kill her, although it was difficult given his love for animals. So he got about 50 kg of meat.
Adam later recalled that hunting took a lot of time and effort. But in order to keep himself in shape, he did pull-ups on a branch every day. He did push-ups, run near the beach, and do rock squats. At first, all this caused great difficulties. Then he got used to it.
Difficulties were also caused by his state of mind, because he was the only inhabitant of the island. The young Englishman, accustomed to the company of friends, was very lonely, depressed and thought that he would remain on a desert island for the rest of his life.
Correct solution
Much thought led Adam to an interesting idea. He dragged large stones to the shore and folded them into a large “SOS” sign so that airplanes flying by myomas could notice him.
The plan worked! When the islander heard the sound of an airplane, he immediately ran to the shore. A package with a walkie-talkie, a first-aid kit and water was dropped from the plane. He had not heard the voices of people for a long time, and these voices coming from the radio gave him hope for good luck.
Jones was told that he was saved thanks to a student from the American state of Minnesota. He accidentally found the inscription SOS on Google maps and decided to notify the police about it.
Adam’s resilience surprised many people. The man did not lose hope that he would be found. And help came. This story tells about a great test of body and soul. Now friends often call him Robinson Crusoe.
