Snowbound Oregon man survived 5 days on taco sauce packets: ‘Taco Bell fire sauce saves lives!’

BEND, Ore. — A man whose car was stranded in central Oregon snow for five days survived by eating taco sauce packets and starting the engine periodically to warm up.

A snowmobiler found Jeremy Taylor, 36, of Sunriver, on Friday and a search and rescue team member who rode to him on a large snow tractor brought him out of the woods, said Sgt. William Bailey, the spokesman for the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office.  Taylor, an avid outdoorsman who loves to go off-roading, was last seen getting gas on Feb. 24 in Sunriver.  He told his rescuers he and his dog, Ally, became stuck in deep snow on a U.S. Forest Service road later that same day.  He slept in his car and when he awoke Monday, more snow had fallen.  He attempted to hike out, but the snow was too deep, so Taylor and Ally returned to his car.
