In the news this week is the remarkable story of 54 year old Neil Parker in Australia who crawled for two days after falling down a water fall and fracturing his leg and wrist.

"Straight away, I thought, 

'I'm now in a lot of trouble because no one knows where I am.”

 "What took me 40 minutes to walk up took me nearly two days to crawl back down."

Parker said painkillers and protein bars he had packed for his hike on the Cabbage Tree Creek trail had helped him survive the painful and painstaking journey.

He said he use hiking poles as a splint and then began 

"scrambling and lifting, inch-by-inch"

to get two miles to a clearing where he could be spotted.

Mount Nebo is 20 miles from Brisbane in Australia.

What should have been a pleasurable hike turned into the fight of his life as Neil crawled for 2 days.

This is why should you NEVER trek alone and preferably take a Physio with you when trekking.

Neil Parker, the Bulletproofbodies Team salute your survival skills. However, next time take your Physio.
