Dude Forgets Phone on Mt. Fuji, Gets Rescued Twice to Retrieve it (or not)
Phone Security: Man's Precious Device Saved Twice Due To Memory Lapse at Fuji - Individual spared on two instances due to forgetting mobile device atop Mount Fuji
Wanna hear a wild one? Here's the story of a 20-year-old student, who, in typical millennial fashion, can't seem to live without his phone. But let's not judge—we've all been there.
In the heart of Japan, rescuers had the unfortunate task of saving the same bloke from Mount Fuji not once, but twice. The first call came in on April 22, with helicopters whisking him to safety after he got stuck on those steep slopes—standups on a ski slope have got nothing on these cliffs!
However, the humble hero wasn't satisfied. He returned to the scene of the crime, er, rescue, just a few days later to retrieve his beloved device, which somehow disappeared during the first rescue operation. But here's the kicker: the authorities can't confirm whether he actually found his phone. We're talking Mission Impossible levels of stealth here.
So, our modern-day Indiana Jones set off once more on April 27, and lo and behold, developed altitude sickness at around 3000 meters. It was a repeat performance, with rescuers whisking him off to the hospital again.
Mount Fuji is all snowy and slippery most of the year, so the hiking season is pretty limited—from early July to early September. But when the trails are open, good luck finding space. It's like climbing Black Friday crowds, minus the bargains.
Many bold adventurers try to reach the summit overnight to catch the sunrise, creating a stunning montage of glowing faces and tired limbs. Last year, they even introduced an entrance fee due to the sheer number of people swarming the mountain.
But remember, folks, beware the allure of that mobile screen! The mountain doesn't care about your social media posts or virtual world. Play safe, keep your eyes on the trail, and don't become the star of your own real-life drama.
