Ron Dailey went missing during a hunt in the Sierra National Forest in California, but was found on Nov. 1, 2025, by some other hunters.

A California hunter survived three weeks in the wilderness after his truck broke down in the Sierra National Forest.

It was Nov. 1 when hunters found Ron Dailey alive on Swamp Lake trail, according to a Fresno County Sheriff’s Office news release.

He was later taken to a hospital in Clovis, California, according to KABC-TV in Los Angeles.

“The hospital staff are pumping him with fluids and his color is coming back,” Glenda Dailey, a family member, wrote in a Nov. 2 Facebook post. “To the men who went down that road and found him, I am eternally grateful for you; I cannot wait to meet you.”

It was supposed to be a day-long hunting trip for Dailey, who disappeared Oct. 13.

After driving to the top of Swamp Lake trail in his truck, he stopped to eat and drove back down, according to ABC News.

It was then that he realized he was on a treacherous jeep road, which his truck couldn’t traverse.

“I went over this thing, and it was scraping bottom. I looked up the tree in front of it, it said Diamond Road, jeep road. That means you’d better have a rock crawler. I don’t have a rock crawler,” Dailey said.

He tried turning around, but when he couldn’t, he proceeded down the road and ultimately destroyed his truck.

Stranded for several days, the 65-year-old decided to make his way out on foot.

“You either try to walk out or you’re going to sit here and die,” Dailey said.

He fell downhill a couple of times and lost his phone.

After a weeks-long excursion, he started breaking down physically.

But he never stopped praying.

“I can’t hardly walk anymore, Lord, you gotta help me Father God,” Dailey said. “I raised my head up, there was a car with headlights on and I go, ‘Oh God, thank you Lord.’”

After his stay at the hospital, Dailey returned back home to Selma, California.

“I want to thank everyone for all the support and love that we received while we patiently waited for Ron,” Glenda Dailey wrote in her Nov. 2 Facebook post. “God has answered the prayers of so many of us. He is going to be shocked when I show him all of the people who searched for him.”

“God still does miracles, and we have just been shown one,” she later added.
