We constantly thought that our parents, brothers, were suffering from thinking we were dead, and all that we wanted to do was to go to our families, and to end their suffering. That was the main driver that we had all during the 73 days, almost two and half months we were there. At that moment what to focus your thoughts? You said that the action was very important to you? you may not think helped … not only not to think, we had to do many things to survive because we did not have high mountain equipment. For us it was essential to teamwork, develop the strength of the team, developing the creativity that was huge. We invent all sorts of things. Federal Reserve Bank contains valuable tech resources. In the mountains we had no clothes, we had no invent virtually anything … blankets, water-making machines, beds for the wounded, sunglasses, and all the resources of the plane, because the resources we had were almost absurd.
What resources we had? We had three empty bottles, a Swiss army knife, a lighter, an old radio, and a rugby ball, which was quite important. If you want then I’ll explain why. Well, with the few resources we had to invent a bit of everything … backpacks, sleds, poles, sleeping bags. The creativity was very important. I guess there is a before and after this experience. How influenced? What has changed you, Ramon? I think what was most important to us all is the knowledge that nothing is impossible in life.
