Story of overcoming the odds in the backcountry of the Uintah mountains. A man in Utah, identified as Jacob "Jake" Schmitt, recently survived a serious incident in the Uinta Mountains by crawling for 11 hours to safety after crashing his side-by-side vehicle. The Incident and the Fight for Survival while spotting for deer with his dog "Buddy", Schmitt's vehicle reportedly lost control and rolled "15-20 times" down a mountainside. He sustained a broken leg, fractured ankles, and broken ribs in the crash. With his phone lost and only the light on Buddy's collar for illumination, Schmitt made the courageous decision to crawl down the mountain, knowing he faced a fight for survival. He reportedly splinted his leg himself before starting his agonizing journey. Buddy the hero dog throughout the 11-hour ordeal, Buddy, a 6-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, stayed by Schmitt's side. Schmitt credits Buddy with helping him through the ordeal, explaining how his dog would heel when needed, providing light and motivation to keep going. Rescue and recovery by day break, Schmitt reached his truck and drove to a diner in Oakley, where a staff member called 911. He was taken to Park City Hospital, where he remained for four days before being discharged and returning home with Buddy. A GoFundMe page was set up to help with medical expenses and had raised over $15,000 as of July 31st. Lessons learned Schmitt's story emphasizes the importance of preparedness, including being able to perform self-rescue and carrying essential supplies, even for seemingly short trips into the backcountry. He advises others to "learn how to do everything with nothing". His experience is a testament to resilience, the will to live, and the power of the human-animal bond in the face of adversity.
