But the area about 200 miles east of Salt Lake City was too remote. He remembered the survival skills his father taught him.

The remaining warmth helped him get through the night. Over the nearly 30 hours he was missing in the rough and remote country area, he found river water to drink. And he even tried unsuccessfully to catch a fish with a spear made from a stick.‎ ‎    Meanwhile, dozens of search-and-rescue workers were combing the area but they could not find Malachi in the wooded landscape. Back at Paul Lake, his father, Danny Bradley, and a friend who had joined them for the camping were keeping a fire burning.

So he started walking again until he found a clearing. He stayed there and briefly fell asleep until a search plane spotted him from the air. A helicopter landed to pick him up on Aug. 32. Medical staff said he was cold and hungry but fine.‎ ‎    Malachi said he would go camping again.

The topic has aroused many people’s attention .Different people have different opinions on how to get acquainted with the world we live in more efficiently . Many people hold the view that reading is more meaningful than traveling .Through reading ,we can learn a lot about history , cultures and customs , gain much new knowledge that will be useful for our life and work .Some other people , however , believe that traveling enlightens human beings more directly .As the saying goes, travelling a lot is much better than reading thousands of books. It helps expand our horizons and makes us see the world by our own eyes to get the first hand understanding .Besides , it’s more relaxing . As for me, the former view makes more sense .Although travelling is a good way to know one’s country and the world , it takes more time and costs more than average people can afford .Whereas , reading is obviously easier to do , books can bring us anywhere we want .‎
