A
62-year-old man who got stranded alone in the Australian desert for nearly a
week and survived only by eating ants said
he was “lucky” to be alive.
Reg
Foggerdy, a grandfather from the city of Perth, spoke to Australian broadcaster
7 News about his ordeal while hunting a feral camel. “I’d given up,” Foggerdy
said, adding that he still intends to go back and find his rifle.
Stuck
in the Outback without food or water, he said he got the idea to consume the insects
from watching TV shows featuring survival expert Bear Grylls.
