A California man spent ten days stranded in the mountains after he got lost on a hike, relying in part on large volumes of water to survive.

Lukas McClish, 34, set out for what he thought would be a three-hour hike in the Santa Cruz Mountains on June 11, according to CNN affiliate KGO.

But he became lost in the mountains – partially due to the destruction of local landmarks in recent wildfires.

His family officially reported him missing when he didn’t show up for a Father’s Day dinner on June 16, triggering search and rescue efforts, KGO reported.

McClish was found with “no major injuries and was reunited with his family,” according to the sheriff’s office.

He attributed his survival to drinking lots of water from creeks and waterfalls he found as he hiked through the park each day, calling for help, according to CNN affiliate KSBW.

Seeing the number of search and rescue workers who worked to find him was “really humbling,” he said. »

But despite the absence of Xi, China would have been the elephant in the room throughout Putin and Kim’s meeting. »
