WAKE BUTTE, Ore. (KATU/KOMO) – An Oregon man who survived five nights stranded in the wilderness in deep snow with only Taco Bell sauce packets for food is getting some freebies from the fast food chain.

Jeremy Taylor, 36, of Sunriver, and his dog, Ally, are now safely back home after his Toyota 4Runner got stuck in in the snow on Forest Service Road 40, near Wake Butte. He was found by a snowmobiler on Friday and then rescued by Deschutes County sheriff's deputies.

"The only thing that he had eaten over the last five days was a few taco sauce packets that he had in his vehicle,” Deschutes County Deputy William Bailey said after the rescue.

Authorities say Jeremy Taylor did everything else right – like staying close to his dog to keep warm, and only running his vehicle through the coldest overnight temperatures. He also tried to walk out to safety, but knew to turn back when the snow was just too deep.

On Facebook over the weekend, Taylor revealed to friends that the taco sauce in question was just three packets of Taco Bell “fire” sauce.

Isn't there a well-known DUer who works in the Deschutes National Forest?

Life imitates art, I suppose...

2. Did he have a fire extinguisher for the other end ?

His toilet paper likely burst into flames from only hot sauce going threw his system.

3. Taco Bell Fire sauce does not cause flanus. It's not very spicy at all. Now, the rest of their

food might cause some intestinal damage for other reasons.

10. Hahaha, glad I could help.

You know a word is good when you don't have to explain to anyone the meaning.

8. A friend of mine would say "I need to stop and get some gas"

And I would check for the nearest Taco Bell.

4. During my reckless youth of occasional poverty I was thankful for my hoard of Taco Bell hot sauce.

It came in little plastic tubs then, not packets.

My meals often consisted of rice I bought in bulk, whatever I could scrounge up foraging for edible plants or in dumpsters, and discarded Taco Bell hot sauce.

Big bags of bulk rice and Taco Bell hot sauce are still my security blanket. I can't quite feel comfortable in a place without them. Tapatío hot sauce is almost good enough, but not quite.

When I was younger I lived on the Warm Springs Reservation.
Our house was on the banks of the Deschutes River. Fantastic.
