Ricky Megee was driving across Australia to start a new job. As he was traveling along the Buntine highway between the Northern Territory and Western Australia he picked up a hitchhiker who looked like they needed help. The next thing he knew, he woke up in the middle of the desert with nothing and having been left for dead. he then spent the next two months surviving in the harsh wilderness by eating frogs, leeches, lizards, snakes… anything he could get his hands on. He drank his own urine, and almost died from malnutrition and exposure. Before he was stranded he weighed 230 pounds and when he was discovered by a farmer he only weighed 105.
