It was meant to be a fishing trip. But as an alternative, a pensioner needed to be rescued after a nine-day ordeal which left him too weak to walk.<\/p>\n

The 79-year-old had headed out into dense woodland near the distant village of Pilvo on Russia\u2019s Sakhalin Island.<\/p>\n

His abandoned automobile was present in the village and volunteers eventually discovered him on the left bank of the Pilevka River, around half a mile away.<\/p>\n

The person was alive but completely exhausted after spending days attempting to chop his way through woodland to safety. <\/p>\n
