Amazing stuff.

A hiker who went missing in northeast British Columbia's backcountry has been found after surviving more than five weeks in a remote provincial park as snow fell and temperatures plunged below –20 C.

Sam Benastick, who was reported missing after failing to return home on Oct. 17 from a 10-day camping trip, was reportedly found on a service road Tuesday, supporting himself with two walking sticks and his cut-up sleeping bag wrapped around his legs for warmth.

CBC News confirmed Benastick had been found through family, as well as with people involved in the search in Redfern-Keily Provincial Park, about 250 kilometres northwest of Fort St. John, B.C.

Including the planned 10-day duration of his camping trip, he was in the wild for a total of 50 days and considered missing for more than five weeks.
