David Madsen, 65, survived his three-day ordeal in subzero temperatures on snow and a Baby Ruth he had in his glove box.
“It was really dumb how I was out there,” Madsen told KTVQ.on snow and a Baby Ruth he had in his glove box, said he knew he wouldn’t be able to walk due to the high snow drifts, and mulled making snowshoes out of snowmobile parts as the frigid weather and winds continued to barrage him.Things got so bleak as the days and nights wore on that he told the station he considered killing himself.“They were frozen in a solid block of ice.
When he was finally located by two snowmobilers three days after his ordeal began, he thought they were another hallucination.And they said, ‘No we are real.’ And I just broke down,” he recalled. That same day, his hotel, the Bear Lodge Resort at Burgess Junction, reported him missing after his bill went unpaid, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.
Madsen was taken to St. Vincent Healthcare in Billings, Montana, where he is still being treated and will eventually be fitted with prosthetics before he is sent home.And he vowed that his frightening experience won’t keep him from returning to the Bighorns on his snowmobile. “I am going to go back to the mountains, and, as soon as they get snow, spin all over that mountain, but not before a snowstorm and not without someone with me.”
