Love the shot of him in the red bikini underwear next to the bodyshell.

If he had enough water for 12 days, he had enough to walk 20 miles. You could easily make that trip at night.

I wish the pics showed the tool chest he brought with him. "Shortened the frame". Probably used sand encrusted dental floss to saw through the frame. I call BS.
