Man missing on Mount St. Helens for nearly a week survived on bees and berries

A hiker who was missing for six days on Mount St. Helens survived by eating bees and berries, his mother says.

"Bees were after him the whole time, he said, so he killed them and ate them," Linda Matheny told reporters.

Matthew Matheny was conscious and talking when rescue teams found him Wednesday, according to Cowlitz County Sheriff Mark S. Nelson, and transported by Life Flight helicopter to a hospital.

"He got to a point where he questioned being found," Linda said at a press conference outside of Southwest Washington Medical Center where her son was being treated for dehydration. "He really started thinking, this could be it."

I saw a story about the search for this guy a couple of days ago. He thought he might take a little hike around the mountain ... in flipflops! Glad he survived.

He is a dumass. Nearly anyone could get lost doing what he did.

I've been wondering where Wingnut has been lately.

I figured he was cooling his heels in the pokey after (allegedly) running down a tortoise.

But he was instead flip-flopping around a volcano? You never know.
