that is a very difficult thing to do. it is easy to have somebody else to do the cutting. cutting it by himself needed much strength, courage and the guts to do carry it out despite feeling the pain himself as the act of cutting goes on progress. now, i see even more the need for a buddy whenever one goes out to perform a task. we can never tell what will happen even in the safest places that we thought to be. you are right about the cellphone could have saved him from much trouble.

This kinda story make sone wonder what they would do or could do innthe same base...It have not heard of this story until now.I need to watch the news more..Thanks..

Hello jenny. This is an extraordinary story. The man has been courageous all throughout his ordeal. I can't know how it feels like to amputate your own leg. I would have easily give up when faced with a situation like this. This man is worthy to follow as a good model for being brave and tough.

Oh, how terrible! Can you imagine being able to cut your own leg off I do not think I could.

I grew up in a remote part of Canada and this was a part of the possibilities that you lived with.
I remember as a young child, we had a neighbour who had been trapped in a simular way for almost three days before a neighbour found him.
The only thing that saved him was that he had access to a small amount of water.
He was only a short time away from trying to cut his arm free but luckily he didn't have to but he never had full use of his arm again, it was caught in the blades of a tractor. Susan

This is similar to a story not too long ago about a mountain climber (I think) who had to remove part of a limb to get free. I remember thinking then as now that I could not do this. Maybe other things, but not this. This shows such a will to live. I know accidents happen, but you hope they don't happen to you. When they do you hope you will have the strength to do what this man had to do.

Sometimes we have to do things that normally we would not. Until we are in a situation we still don't know what we would do. I think I would have dug under the leg and tree to find a way to lessen the pressure and get released. Of course if was crushed then he would have went into shock and maybe bled to death. Fascincating really.

That's really amazing. I hope he recovers quickly. Maybe the government should have a remote or satellite tv there to monitor that area. Accidents happen unexpectedly and they should anticipated that.

I am just surprised that he didn't wait a little longer to cut off his leg! 10 hours and then after he cut it off then someone found him right afterwards. Yikes, that had to be horrible!
