25-year-old Australian engineer Andrew Gaskell, from Tasmania, decided to take an ambitious trip to Malaysia in October of 2016. His plan was to solo hike in Mulu National Park away from popular tourist attractions in order to have an authentic trip and to figure out some personal things during his time alone. While hiking in the mountains, he became lost and was stranded by himself for two weeks. When he was discovered, he was malnourished, dehydrated, and covered in leeches. Upon rescue, he released a public apology to the public for all the effort people underwent to find him when he should have heeded the advice of locals and the signs he blatantly ignored.

This toddler survived the impossible.
