The musician was found alive 30 days after he disappeared while jogging in a Washington state park. His experiences ‘aged him a few years’

39 year old man Lost for a month in a Washington state parkThe man, who managed to survive on blackberries and water, revealed that the ordeal had aged him “a few years”.

Musician Robert Schock from Blaine, Washington comes to North Cascades National park He said of a run on July 31: People in a recent interview. However, Schock, who had not visited this place for years and had only an old map in his hand, immediately lost direction.

“I’m not a hiker,” Schock told People. “I don’t put on a backpack and go on multi-day trips. I don’t know how to fish. I want to finish a course as quickly as possible and go home. So I didn’t have a T-shirt. I had a pair of shorts, Freddy (the dog) and a dog bowl.”

Schock was lost. On the second day, her phone died, and on the third day, she sent Freddy to find his way home. His mother, Jan Thompson, told Independent Authorities said a local Humane Society chapter called Freddy on Aug. 4 after finding him near the Chilliwack River.

“Luckily, we had him microchipped about a month ago, and they put my name on the chip along with Rob’s,” Thompson said. “And if Rob’s name had been on that microchip they would never have called me, he would have been adopted and gone.”

After receiving the call about Freddy, Thompson reported her son missing on August 5.

“The first thing the MP said to me was, ‘This is not going to have a happy ending,'” he said.

Authorities would not find the musician until August 30. PeopleSchock explained that the incident was “damaging” and had “aged” him by several years.

“I hope I get those years back,” he told People.

After sending Freddy home, Schock eventually found the abandoned nesting grounds created by the bears. There he found a single mushroom and made it last all day.

“I ate that stuff all day long, and it tasted like a regular mushroom you might have on pizza or anywhere else,” Schock told People. “That was the only thing I had to eat the entire time other than fruit. It was pretty gross.”

At one point, Schock even spotted a helicopter and tried to stop the pilot. But it didn’t work.

“I started yelling, ‘Help,’ but they didn’t respond,” he told People.

Schock’s strength waned in the North Cascades during that month. He was on the banks of the Chilliwack River the day he was rescued. Schock said he felt “like he was on the verge of death” as he sat on the riverbank. He revealed that at this point he lost control of his bowels and the ability to scream for help.

Schock shouted one last time and it saved his life.

“I was sitting there naked and I knew I wasn’t going to make it through the night,” she told People. “And I said, ‘I’m going to scream one last time.’ ‘Help!’ I said.”

That’s when Pacific Northwest Trail Association members walking nearby found him.

“One of the guys took off his shirt and handed it to me,” Schock told People. “That man who came and dressed me and saved my life in such a good way. “It’s an understatement to say how grateful I am to these people for being there that day, as the finish line is pretty close.”

said Jeff Kish, executive director of the Pacific Northwest Trail Association. expression his team found Schock “alive but not well.”

“It is the belief of those who came to join the rescue that Robert may have only one more day left before the outcome of his discovery becomes much more tragic,” Kish said. he said.

He was later airlifted to a nearby hospital. A local officer called Thompson and told him, “I have incredible news, we found him alive, he’s in good condition.”

Schock is currently recovering in Ohio with his father and Freddy.

“He’s losing the weight and his joints are feeling better,” Thompson said. “It’s going really well.”
