Man survived 24 days on mountain by sipping barbecue sauce
A civil servant recovering in hospital from an ordeal in which he was stranded for 24 days on a mountain here said he survived by sipping barbecue sauce and water from a bottle.
The rescued man, Mitsutaka Uchikoshi, 35, reportedly told his boss who visited him in hospital that the water and sauce had prevented him from starving to death. At the time of his discovery at the end of October, he was barely conscious, and he is still in hospital, but is reportedly making a good recovery.
