Man Survives on Taco Bell Hot Sauce Packets While Trapped in the Snow for 5 Days
An Oregon man was trapped in his car for five days during a snowstorm, where he survived only on three packets of Taco Bell hot sauce, according to The Oregonian.
Jeremy Taylor, 36, of Sunriver, Ore., was on an off-roading adventure with his dog on Feb. 24 when he got stuck in deep snow. The following day, after sleeping in his car, Taylor discovered that more snow had fallen overnight—making his efforts to hike out of it futile, the publication reports. He spent a total five days trapped, where he would periodically turn his car on for warmth.
Taylor was eventually discovered by a snowmobiler, according to police officials. He was subsequently rescued by a team on a snow tractor.
