Tiffany Slaton was found alive after three weeks lost in the Sierra, having survived by foraging leeks, a skill she mastered as a trained permaculturist. Despite suffering injuries, including damage to her eyes from exposure, her health remained remarkably good. In her first press conference, Slaton expressed relief at her survival and shared the mental struggles she faced during her ordeal. Her survival, described as "miraculous," caught the attention of local officials after her disappearance was reported when she didn't return from a planned short vacation.
"I would rather live than have to deal with my parents seeing that I failed in such a dumb way."
"On many occasions, I fought nature and lost."
Her survival was called 'miraculous' and 'remarkable' by officials used to searching for people who don't show back up.
"How did I avoid death? I'm pretty good at foraging," Slaton said during her first public appearance.
