17-year-old survived nearly a week in the bush. "He divided chips into very small portions"

Seventeen-year-old William was found alive after spending nearly a week lost in the bush in Victoria, Australia. He had gone camping with a friend but got separated while retrieving gear. After six days of searching, a police helicopter spotted his fishing tackle box and then William sleeping on a rock. He had survived by rationing chips and using towels for cover. Over 100 rescuers participated in the search, which included divers and dogs. Upon rescue, William was exhausted and had sunburns but was able to communicate with authorities. He was taken to the hospital for observation and reunited with his mother, who had faith he was alive.
