(NewsNation) — A California man survived 10 days in the wilderness with only the clothes on his back, a flashlight and a pair of scissors.
Lukas McClish, 34, was reported missing June 15 by his family who had not seen him since June 11.
The Boulder Creek, California, native had embarked on a hike in California’s Big Basin Redwoods State Park, expecting it to take only three hours.
More than a week after a hike gone wrong, McClish was found safe Thursday and reunited with his family.
Wildfires changed the landscape of the park, wiping away familiar markers McClish had planned to use to track his movements. He survived by drinking water from his boot, eating berries and sleeping on a bed of wet leaves.
