Yeah. They managed to drag some of the bodies out through the tunnel they'd created, but those that were buried too deeply in the dense snow were just left where they died. In the week that followed, they worked tirelessly to clear out some of the snow so they would at least have like some protection from the elements. But much of the interior was too densely packed with snow.

They couldn't even move it. With what little resources they had now obliterated by an avalanche and their shelter, I mean, seriously compromised. There were now 19 survivors and they had to make a fucking decision at this point. They were like, what do we do? We can't stay here. No. If they were going to make it out of here alive, they were going to have to walk out.

So in the earliest days after the crash, several of the survivors started talking about walking out of the mountains for help. Of course, that was always on everyone's mind.

The problem, of course, was that they didn't have any equipment. They didn't have any training necessary to make that kind of trek. And they're on the side of a fucking mountain. And also they have no fucking idea where they are or what direction civilization is.

So they would take short hikes out of the valley just to see, like we talked about before, but again, those would only emphasize how unprepared they were to take such a trek. So once the danger of the future avalanches and snowdrifts was here, they decided the only way out was for them to hike out.

So three of the strongest members of the remaining survivors, Parado, Canessa, and Antonia Visinton, volunteered to make the trip. And they started immediately preparing. They weren't just going to go straight out. They were going to prepare for it. Now, this kind of journey would have been hard for the most experienced mountaineer to do.

And even then, they would have been outfitted with, like, everything that you need. Specialized climbing and hiking equipment. Clothing. All the things you need. Food. Yeah. Water. And among all of this, they were also complete... These people are also completely unfamiliar with the terrain outside the valley. So they were at huge risk for falling into hidden valleys and random...

crevasses in the earth, slipping off an ice plane, becoming buried in a snowdrift. There's like any host of dangers out there. And also they would have to do a certain amount of climbing over icy and rocky terrain, all of which they would have to do without climbing shoes, ice axes, any safety equipment, ropes.

But you know what? If this isn't motivation to get the fuck up and do some stuff you've been meaning to do. My damn. There you go. Yeah. Prado said, I knew that when I gave the first step to leave the fuselage, I was not coming back. This is a kamikaze expedition. I mean, yeah. So the three men spent weeks preparing for this, gathering whatever supplies they could find.

They made sleeping bags from sewn together cushions and fabric. Wow. How did you, how'd they even sew anything together? I think it was like hand tied kind of shit. And they made a sled crafted out of suitcases that like pieces of suitcases that they had. Cause they, I think they didn't have like, maybe they had like one or two pieces of luggage, but they did not.
