A 69-year-old hiker who was discovered alive two months ago after being stranded in the Oregon wilderness for 17 nights is now sharing his survival story with the public. The Douglas County Search & Rescue team located Burleigh 17 nights later on May 23, the sheriff's office wrote in a Facebook post. Burleigh, whom the Mail Tribune described as an experienced hiker, told the press that he did not implement the "seven Ps" of planning: "Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance." "It is because of our determined Search and Rescue Teams and the partnerships we have with other SAR teams from around the state, that Mr. Burleigh has been re-united with his family this evening," he said. "The Sheriff's Office wants to thank everyone who was involved in this mission."
