Here's How Bachelorhood Saved One Man

West Virginian Robert Ward broke his hip in an accident that took his 1985 Ford down 150 feet into a ravine. Before he was found six days later, Ward was able to survive the elements by eating from a jar of peanut butter and assorted stray packets of taco sauce littering his vehicle. Further, by burning whatever paper was available, Ward was able to melt snow into drinking water. To stay warm, he ripped the lining from the ceiling of his Ford and used it as a blanket. No, he didn't win a million bucks.
