That is when you hope the knife is really sharp....

I can see him carving, then taking out his wet stone and sharpening it some more, then carving some more... But for real, that does take alot of strength both mental and physical to do that...

That's some serious guts and a lack of the panic button.

WOW...too bad they couldn't find him a few days earlier.

It makes you wonder...could we do that if we had to? I really don't know.

I'd hate to be the guy that finds his arm.

I guess they sent two guys back up the mountain to retrieve his arm. When they got to the boulder they realized that it was 2 ton's. They went back down the mountain got a few more guys and moved the boulder and got the dudes arm. I guess some really stupid doctors (this is a normal thing) determined that they couldn't put humpty dumpty back together..

Let's see here........ AFter 4 days with the #### thing under a rock with no blood flow you think your gonna be able to attach it? Common sence would tell you no
