The incredible story of a surviving man trapped in the snow eating a spicy sauce

A man whose car was stuck for five days in the middle of Oregon by the snow, survived by eating sirloin bags with pungent sauce and periodically turning the engine of his vehicle to warm up.

The driver of a snowmobile found Friday Jeremy Taylor, 36, and an element of the search and rescue team managed to get close to the area with a huge snow tractor to take him out of the forest, said the sergeant William Bailey, spokesman for the Deschutes County Police Department.

Taylor, a nature lover who loves to drive, was last seen on Sunriver on February 24th.

The man told rescuers that he and his dog Ally were stuck in the deep snow of a Forest Service road a few hours later in the day.

The man slept in his car and when he woke on Monday, more snow had fallen.

He tried to get out, but the snow was too deep, so Taylor and Ally returned to the vehicle.

"Thank you all, I'm safe and Ally, my dog ​​too. I really appreciate the help. I was lucky, you will never have to do that again. I will be in contact with everyone very soon"he wrote on his Facebook account Friday night.

Taylor did not respond to a message sent by The badociated press through the social network on Saturday.

In response to a friend's comment in the Facebook post on his way of surviving by eating three packets of Taco Bell hot sauce during his stay, Taylor joked: "The hot sauce of Taco Bell save lives! "

Taylor and his dog were healthy when they were saved, officials said, but they were hungry.

Oregon's central state has been hit by winter storms in recent weeks.

Sunriver, a well-known tourist destination, is a three-and-a-half-hour drive east of Portland.
