man vs wild imitator

[wayno]

a chap went missing in the bush in the north island NZ for four days recently
, he'd originally told them he was going for a day and later rang saying he'd been delayed and not to call police
his favourite programmes are "man vs wild" and "I shouldnt be alive"
he was trying to replicate bear grylls. he had minimal clothing and gear although he did have a lot of ready to eat food. the weather was cold and wet most of the time he was out in the bush and he was wet through.. he didnt have enough warm clothing fo the conditions, no form of shelter or emergency or bivy bag.

the press never got wind of his real intentions and just reported him as a missing day walker
