Robert Schock , a 39-year-old ultrarunner, set out on a 32-kilometre run in North Cascades National Park on July 31 .

He was accompanied by his dog and a small backpack with limited supplies.

For the next several weeks , Schock made every effort to survive, taking over abandoned nesting grounds of bears, eating sour berries and at one point eating a large mushroom.

Schock spent about a month recovering and gaining some of the 50 pounds he had lost.

He said he has no intention of returning to the national park in the near future.

The PNTA says Schock was “not well” when they found him.

The backcountry crew radioed for a helicopter to airlift him to hospital.
