TACOMA, Wash. — A snowshoer who was lost in a blizzard for two days on Washington state’s Mount Rainier said he stayed alive by digging out a snow tunnel and burning dollar bills for warmth. Yong Chun Kim, 66, of Tacoma, said he carried a lighter and other emergency supplies and burned personal items: extra socks, Band-Aids, a toothbrush, packaging, and lastly $1 and $5 bills from his wallet. Kim, who served in the South Korean military in the Vietnam War, told reporters that skills he learned as a soldier helped him survive.
