Mikhail Pichugin described his 67 days adrift as a fight against hypothermia and hunger, relying on rainwater and a limited food supply to survive.
Despite initial rescue efforts failing, Pichugin held onto hope, tying his brother and nephew's bodies to the boat to prevent their loss to the sea.
The ordeal pushed Pichugin to his limits; he credited God's help and the thought of his family back home as vital to his survival.
Pichugin recounted a dire struggle against the elements, stating, 'You crawl under [the sleeping bag], wiggle a little and get warm,' emphasizing survival tactics.
