  Nobody should have (should've) survived this.

  I remember hearing about someone surviving at sea for a few months. He said he just ate the fish meat at first but was getting weak and still not feeling full. He popped a fish eye out and ate it. Said it tasted amazing, then proceeded to eat all the body parts and felt better instantly. <br><br>Pretty cool how your brain can change your taste for you to survive.

  It&apos;s so crazy. Can you imagine the will for life that man had? I&apos;d probably die on the first week.

  My older brother was lost at sea with 3 other men for 3 and half days. The weaker older guy managed to hold onto the bow of the boat. The other guy had a life jacket. My bro was the best shape guy and the only one that could swim. He treaded water for most of it. They too was on a fishing boat and had fish on board. The boat was leaking fish and sharks stayed around them nearly the whole time. Luckily they drifted back close enough to be spotted by a person on shore after the coast gaurd nearly gave up on them. He told me the story a couple weeks ago again and he cried as he did. He&apos;s a huge man too. It was hard to listen to to and watch him tell about it. So I can only imagine what this guy felt

  I barely have the will to survive day to day life.

  It takes a surprisingly short amount of time to completely lose it when subjected to solitary confinement of any sort, let alone added with the pressures of trying to survive, and the debilitating knowledge that at any moment you could die, and that your chances of being saved or finding land is slim to none. The sheer terror and loneliness this man must have been living with is unthinkable. It’s amazing he didn’t go insane.

  438 days survived is INSANE, that’s some real resolve to push on

  Just one correction: He’s Salvadoran, not Mexican. He was was working as a fisherman in Mexico 👍 Cheers from El Salvador, love your channel and your book!

  Read the book, 438 Days, he wanted to get back to his young daughter, that gave him the will to live. One of the best books I’ve ever read.

  He&apos;s from El Salvador but lived and fished in Mexico. His story is a book now: 438 days. He should have a movie. People who knew him and fished with him said that if someone would survive such journey, it was HIM.

  I just saw this now but this is actually a cousin of my dad! When we heard the news it was wild! He is not actually Mexican though, he’s Salvadoran
