If you like the man vs wild show of Bear Gryls, then understand that this was the survival mode, that too without any camera and without any team. So how did he spend 95 days under this deadly situation? How his hunger and thirst forced him to eat all that people get nervous only after thinking. And how did his life survive? Come, let’s understand this whole story in detail.

Fisherman trapped in the sea for 95 days

Maximo Napa Castro is a 61 -year -old fisherman, which people affectionately call ‘Gaton’. On 7 December, he came out of Markona coast of Peru with his small boat. His plan was just 2 weeks. Lah was about to return home after catching fish. He had 30 days of food and water. But who knew that this common trip is going to be the biggest test in his life. 10 days later, a terrible storm shed her boat. The motor deteriorated. Gaton tried again and again, but the motor did not start at all. Now he was in the middle of the sea. Neither the edge was visible nor any help. Think what would you have done?

Neither food nor water, eat insects

For 30 days, Gaton continued to work with his ration. But then food and water came to an end. Now it was not just about hunger. It was a matter of being alive. And then the real man vs wild moment started. He first started eating cockroaches and small insects present in the boat. It may be disgusting to hear, but the survival experts believe that they are good sources of protein. You will remember when Bear Gryls ate insects in the forest? He was doing for the camera, but here, Gaton had no other choice.

How did the sailor trapped in the sea do Surviv?

Gaton, a few days later, started catching fish, who sometimes jumped into the boat. But the most difficult task was to hunt sparrows. At 1-2 o’clock in the night, when the birds slept on the boat, he would slowly go to him and attack him with a pole. Gaton later said, “I felt very bad… but either she would die, or I.” Thinking this, he explained to himself.

Broke but did not give up from life

There was an arrangement for food, but what did Gaton do for water? The salt of the sea could not drink water, so he hunted the turtle one day, that too only to drink his blood. It seems strange to hear this, but when the matter has come at survival, what a person would not have passed. Gaton’s real strength was his expectation. He said, ‘I talked to God. I said, my mother, my brother, my children – these are everything for me. Many times he broke so much that he picked up the knife three times, thought I should finish everything. But every time he explained to himself, ‘Gaton, stop, you can do this.’ And really, it was his courage that kept him alive.

How did 95 days come out of the sea after 95 days?

95 days later, one night when Gaton was trying to sleep in his boat, suddenly he heard a voice calling his name. It was a helicopter. Gaton told, ‘I told God – you showed it!’ The helicopters indicated that a boat would come soon. And really, an hour later, in the dark of night, he saw the light of the boat from a distance. That moment was no less than a dream for him. On March 12, a Tuna Boat in Ecuador saw him and saved him. 680 miles away, from the coast of Peru, Gaton was taken out alive. If seen, this story is ahead of Man Vs Wild, because it was real, which had no script.
