Drink the whiskey, bite the belt, this will only hurt a lot.

an ol' baw that had to amputate his own leg at the knee cause he was alone in the mountains and stuck.

It was actually his arm not his leg and he used a pocket knife

Reminds me of the story a few years ago where an ol' baw that had to amputate his own leg at the knee cause he was alone in the mountains and stuck.

If it's the same one I am remembering, that guy is a badass.
His dozer slid down the side of a mountain and rolled over and pinned him underneath. He didn't tell anybody where he would be working that day.
He cut it off with his pocket knife and crawled to his truck.
He was having to sharpen his knife on a rock to keep at it.
Six months later, he had been fitted with a prosthetic and was jogging.
Never leave the house without your knife.

Those weren't good days.

I believe this is the story I'm thinking of.

If you do a google search there are a bunch of stories of people amputating their own shite.
