    It just goes to show you how getting a good relaxing sleep in a hammock prepares you for all of life's little up's and down's, and apparently some really big downs as well!

    Must be a moral to this. LOL. If you are a sleep walker you had best stay home!

    Stay home or tether yourself in case of dangerous scenarios. That's an insane drop to survive.

    Why on earth would his "friends" watch him walk off the cliff!

    Waiting for the ever-present line "authorities say alcohol may have been a factor"...

    I've gone to pee and almost gotten lost before, sleepwalking definitely sounds plausible.

    Dude needs to go play the lottery now, he's got the luck for it.

    This should serve as a wake up call to.......Dutch, lashit ankle tethers with titanium hardware!

    I am really glad I wasn't the only one that laughed when they read this, it did make me feel a little guilty.

    Give me more folly said the fool,
    Give me stone silence said the deaf man,

    I love the dude's rescue quote....
    “It was surreal coming up the way I came down, because I got to see every foot of this cliff that I'd just flown over,” Campbell said.

    Crazy story, either way. You're right, he needs to grab a powerball ticket! He's gotta be blessed or something.
