This is years old, and it was made clear that he was either a fantasist or publicising something. He could have walked the 20 miles to safety as he both knew the area and had water for at least 12 days.

If it was reported that a local engineer helped him I'd be more convinced. Those Third World village workshops have to keep all sorts of ancient equipment running.
