Four Days Under Snow: The Watch That Kept Him Talking

Cold claustrophobia and a ticking watch: a man survived 120 hours under four feet of compacted avalanche debris with a running mechanical watch on his wrist - how did he stay alive and conscious for five days? What kept him breathing when the air pocket was only 15-18 liters and the snow kept compressing?

In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from the morning Duane Bishop signed the Harmon County register to the moments that followed his burial and survival, following the physical facts and tools that mattered most. Can the details of his gear, the landscape, and a watch explain how he stayed alive?
