CNN —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.
Speaking with KGO, McClish said he was “tired and a little sore” after his ordeal.
