A tale of true grit from backpacker Brit
BRITISH backpacker Jamie Neale cheated death in the Australian wilderness after getting lost, having left his mobile phone at home.
He survived by drinking water from creeks and living on native berries, although doctors fear he may have been poisoned by some of the things he ate. He survived 12 days in freezing cold conditions by covering himself with tree bark.
It's a fantastic story of triumph over adversity, that has now been described by Jamie. Yet there are many snipers - undoubtedly Crocodile Dundee wannabes, who couldn't last five minutes in the outback - who are pouring scorn on his story.
So a good example of true british grit, let's see
1. He goes out into the wilderness without any means of communication
2. He doesn't tell anyone where he is going
3. He doesn't take any survival neccessities like some food or water (has he ever heard of water purifying tablets?)
4. He has no compass, gps or map
5. He goes out on his own with no backup
So, basically she wants everyone to be a complete moron like that idiot who is only alive because of the australian government spending 10's (maybe 100's) of thousands of dollars mounting a rescue expedition.
