Two brothers who were rescued on top of a volcano in Bali after going missing for 30 hours are sons of a GB News reporter and survived by using their scout training and skills they learned from watching Bear Grylls videos. Matthew Forster, 22, and his sibling Andrew, 18, from London, had attempted to climb 10,000ft to the summit of Mount Agung to see the sunrise when their phones died near the top. Their journalist mother Katherine Forster was meant to be covering the general election on Thursday but instead experienced the 'worst day of her life' when she was told of her children's plight. The brothers set off at 2.30am on Wednesday for the long trek up the still active volcano in what was supposed to be the perfect culmination of their nine week adventure across south east Asia. But disaster struck when they were stranded and with the power on both their phones dead they were left unable to call for help. Instead of being safely on board of their plane back home to Britain, the hikers were lost having not memorised the path back on the descent.In order to survive they used their scout training and skills they learned by their 'extensive viewing of Bear Grylls videos' to build a shelter and gather rainwater. They were found 'weak but alive' 40 hours after they had set off, with a 30-strong rescue team admitting they thought they would be dead.
The Forster brothers' adventure sounds intense, but their scout training and Bear Grylls tips truly saved the day. Their poor mom must have been so worried! 
Thankfully, they're safe and sound now.
