男孩雪山迷路 以電視裏學會的生存術自救

Jake Denham,14, who got lost on a snow-covered mountain said he survived a nine-hour ordeal in sub-zero temperatures thanks to skills he picked up from watching a TV show starring British adventurer Bear Grylls. He said he recalled episodes of Man vs Wild hosted by Grylls and copied his survival techniques to stay alive。

The teen was skiing on Mt. Bachelor in Oregon with his family when he lost one of his skis. He took off one ski and began walking down the mountain. But when it started to get dark and the weather closed in he realized he would not make it back down the mountain。

As temperatures plunged on the mountainside to -17 Denham said he built a small cave to shelter from the freezing weather and the powder snow blowing across the mountain。

'It started getting dark, and I saw the stars. I saw Venus -- it was red and bigger than the North Star. 'I wanted to live my life and not go die,' he said. 'So I got up, and I found some ski tracks, and I followed those.'

When he was found he was suffering from mild hypothermia, but otherwise unharmed after almost nine hours in the wilderness。

Grylls show Man vs Wild is one of the most popular shows on US TV and is watched by a global audience of 1.2billion. He visits some of the most inhospitable areas on earth to demonstrate his survival skills, which have included eating snakes and wrapping his urine-soaked t-shirt around his head to help stave off the desert heat。

美國男孩傑克•德納姆滑雪時與父母失散，在嚴寒中獨自行進9小時。憑藉從電視節目《荒野求生》中學來的生存技巧，他最終安全與家人團聚。

不久前，德納姆和家人前往俄勒岡州巴徹勒山滑雪，丟失一支滑雪板後，他開始徒步下山。然而，隨着天色漸暗，他意識到天黑前或許無法到達山腳。

當時山上氣溫降至零下17攝氏度，德納姆按照格里爾斯在節目中教的那樣，搭建小洞穴躲避風雪和酷寒。

“天色開始變暗，我看到天空中的繁星。我看到金星，它呈紅色，比北極星大。”“我想活命，不想死……所以我起身，按照節目中介紹的另一條求生技巧，找到一些滑雪道，沿着它們下山，”他說。

當救援人員找到他時，他已在野外迷路將近9個小時，體溫偏低，但身體並無大礙。

《荒野求生》是一檔戶外探險節目，由英國前特種兵，探險家貝爾•格里爾斯主持，全球觀衆近12億。 節目中，格里爾斯行至地球上最人跡罕至的地區，踐行他的生存技能，包括吃蛇以攝入能量、用浸過尿的T恤包裹頭部以防暑。
