Missing fisherman found alive after 17 nights in the Oregon wilderness

A great ending to this story.

I think he took the "just one more cast and I will head home" saying a little too far.

Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you could potentially get him lost in the woods.

I hope he was able to catch some fish to eat while he was lost. But it appears that he's a lousy hiker, so he may also be a lousy angler.

I bet by 17 days he figured it out.

maybe he pulled a Euell Gibbons and ate off a Pine tree...

Yes, yes we are.  Also wondering how one eats a pine tree?!?!

"Manyt parts are edible."

I actually went on a day hike he led with a group of people in Yosemite back in 69. I was only 9 but I do remember that as we walked along he would bend down, pick something up like a stick, mushroom, moss... break little pieces off and pass them around for us to nibble on. He didn't have any Grape-nuts though.

"Did you ever eat a pine cone?" Euell Gibbons

Plus my son says pine needles taste pretty good during Air Force SERE training

yum
