This kid (http://www.cnn.com/2011/12/12/world/asia/philippines-abducted-american/index.html?iref=allsearch) was kidnapped and held in captivity for five months. He watched for and found an opportunity to escape, eating candles that he'd saved and coconuts from foraging, walking out of the bush for two days, alone.

I hope I'd be able to find half as much fortitude in myself as this kid did.
