Ministry of Internal Affairs: Tomsk police rescued a shift worker who got lost in the taiga and went hunting 
lost in the taiga. The man ate frozen berries for five days. This was reported in the regional department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
According to the ministry, on November 14, the duty unit received a message about the disappearance of a person from the territory of the rotational village, located 200 kilometers from the village of Bely Yar. On November 10, the worker left for a hunt and did not return.
When the police arrived at the scene, the shift workers showed the direction in which their comrade had left. Law enforcers got to the marshy area on snowmobiles, then they had to walk in the direction of the intended route of the hunter. A few kilometers later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs officers managed to find traces covered with snow. Using them, the police were able to establish the whereabouts of the lost hunter.
A 50-year-old man was found seven kilometers from the camp. He hid from the wind near a tree lying on the ground and warmed himself by the fire. The hunter told the police that he got lost in the taiga, twisted his leg and could no longer walk on his own. Instead, he waited for help for five days, feeding on frozen berries and water from icy streams.
The police provided him with the necessary first aid and carried the exhausted man out of the forest in their arms. They helped him get to the snowmobile and took him to the camp.
In June, an American tourist got lost in the mountains near the American city of North Bend, Washington. On June 18, 25-year-old Andrew Devers went hiking and did not return in time. Rescuers organized a search for the man, but the operation was suspended on June 25. On Sunday morning, June 27, he was discovered by a runner near the start of the trail along the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River. The American said that all this time he drank water from the river and ate berries to survive.
