If you fail to plan you plan to fail. Never leave home with an empty cooler

GILLETTE, Wyo. (AP) — A Wyoming rancher who was pinned by an all-terrain vehicle survived on beer and bottled water for two days.

Frank Reynolds, 53, was trying to round up a cow and calf on a neighbor's pasture outside Gillette when the vehicle tipped over on him Sunday, Reynolds told the Gillette News Record.

“It was scary as hell is what it was,” Reynolds said Wednesday from a hospital room.

Family thought Reynolds had gone camping or was with friends, said Quentin Reynolds, the Campbell County undersheriff and Frank’s brother.

Later Monday, they began to worry. Eventually, they learned Frank Reynolds had planned to do some work on the property, where he was laying with a dislocated shoulder and broken ribs

A search began. Reynolds, meanwhile, honked the ATV’s horn so much he wore down the battery — to no avail.

He was able to ration a couple of bottles of water and Keystone Light beers from a cooler, Sheriff Scott Matheny said.

Searching on horseback, neighbor Don Hamm found Reynolds around 8 a.m. Tuesday. By that point, Reynolds recalled he was “pretty much out of it."

“Everything on the left side pretty much hurt, from the top of my head to my toes,” he said.

He was expected to remain in the hospital a few more days and eventually recover..

Hmm, he only had two beers left to survive on. Are the missing beers why he was trapped underneath? A Cowboy would have been on a horse, not a four wheeler, but I’ll digress because we’ve had this discussion.
