smiley Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Did anyone else read that amazing story in this month's National Geographic Adventure magazine about a group of Jews who hid from the Nazis for 2 or 3 years in a huge labyrinth of a cave?! You should check it out. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/0406/excerpt4.html (I think this is only the first page or so... You have to buy the magazine to read the rest... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWolfe Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 That is really amazing - 1-1/2 years. The nice thing about caves is they maintain a constant temperature, vaying only a few degrees year-round. I bet that was critical to their survival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotterdamerung Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 That's nothing. A Japanese soldier hid out in a cave on Guam until 1972. 28 years after the colony of Guam was officially declared secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 bin laden's been hidden out in a cave for like 3 years now right..... he can break the record if he stays there for another 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotterdamerung Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Actually I think Bruce Campbell holds the record for cave dwelling. Reference Army of Darkness for a factual account of his deeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
