An Oregon man whose car was stranded in deep snow survived for five days on nothing but Taco Bell hot sauce packets.
Jeremy Taylor, a 36-year-old outdoorsman from Sunriver, and his dog Ally got stuck in the snow on a US Forest Service road on February 24.
Taylor said he slept in his car that night and planned to hike out the following morning.
However, when he woke up the next day, even more snow had fallen, making it impossible for him to hike to get help.
For the next four days, Taylor kept warm by turning his car's engine on intermittently and eating leftover Taco Bell hot sauce stashed in his car as temperatures in the area dropped as low as 3F and several inches of snow were reported in the area.

A snowmobiler came across Taylor's vehicle on Friday, and a search and rescue team transported him out of the woods, according to Sgt William Bailey with the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office.
Taylor and his dog were both very hungry but otherwise in good health when rescued, authorities said.
In a post on Facebook hours later, Taylor wrote: 'Thank you everyone, I'm safe my Ally dog is safe. I really appreciate all the help. Got lucky, lets [sic] never do that again. I'll be in touch with everyone soon.'
In one of the comments, Taylor joked: 'Taco Bell fire sauce saves lives!'
