Neil Parker, a seasoned outdoorsmen and trail guide, went on a solo hike up a waterfall he had done many times before. At the top of the waterfall, the rocks give out from under him. He fell 6 meters or a little over 19 feet down the waterfall, breaking his leg and wrist on the way down. Join us as we tell Neil’s survival story as he crawls out of the forest holding his broken leg in his hand. .Affiliate Links: Audiblehttps://www.amazon.com/hz/audible/arya/mlpencoding=UTF8&purchaseType=MTRIAL&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dbb68da43653929fb3e8e59c2c5c70fe&language=enUS&ref_=as_li_ss_tlKindle Unlimitedhttps://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/hz/subscribe/ku?shoppingPortalEnabled=true&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=a7af85340487b2c5ca0fba05a7b31d39&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlAmazon Music Unlimited https://www.amazon.com/music/unlimited?&linkCode=ll2&tag=wildernessbon-20&linkId=dadc11e13b402d23e3446ad1517a5dd4&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl...Sources1.      https://explorersweb.com/great-survival-stories-neil-parker/2.      https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-497373353.      https://www.thatslife.com.au/news/i-carried-my-leg-out-of-the-bush/4.      https://7news.com.au/sunrise/on-the-show/bushwalkers-incredible-survival-story-after-falling-from-waterfall-c-4609655.      https://people.com/human-interest/hiker-carries-snapped-leg-for-days-after-falling-down-waterfall/6.      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Nebo_(Queensland)7.      https://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=1383758.      https://birdsqueensland.org.au/place/maiala-mt-glorious/#:~:text=Maiala%2C%20along%20with%20Mt%20Nebo,more%20common%20rain%20forest%20birds.9.      https://scenicrim.wildlife.org.au/the-region-its-wildlife/wildlife-of-the-scenic-rim-overview/#:~:text=Birds%20of%20the%20Scenic%20Rim&text=Rainforest%20birds%20include%20the%20brush,(in%20winter)%20pied%20currawong.10. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-09-18/mt-nebo-bushwalker-crawls-to-safety-after-fracturing-leg-wrist/11522794
