He did not press under pressure.
A Canadian teenager who got lost during snowmobiling was able to survive in an incredible way by building a snow cave and staying in it until he was discovered.
“This young man did everything right after things went wrong,” South Cariboo Search and Rescue, the nonprofit service that eventually found the nameless 17-year-old, wrote on Facebook. Attached photos show the impressive snow cage of the improvised survivalist who built in and descended to the rescue.
According to the department, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the area only realized something was wrong when they were notified of an overdue snowmobile on Saturday night. The boy apparently did not return to the parking lot with the other members of the party.
At that point, some snowmobiles began searching for the missing teenager, while others alerted SCSAR. A few hours later, the mounted police received a message from SCSAR that they had “located the youth in good condition and transported them from the mountain”, according to the police statement.
SCSAR wrote on Facebook that the teenager was ‘separated from his group’ and could not find his way out of the country ‘as he ended up in it’.
Although he was unfamiliar with the ‘terrain and environment’, the inventive outdoor man parked a sleigh in an open area, walked to a nearby tree area and built him an incredible snow cave to spend the night, ‘they wrote. . The rescuers found him in the icy fox hole with food and water.
SCSAR concluded: “This young man has made our task a little less difficult by staying in place and surviving a little knowledge over the winter.”
Needless to say, the Facebook peanut gallery was impressed by the ingenuity of the snowmobile.
“Great thinking by the young man and good teaching by everyone who taught him survival skills,” enchanted one newfound fan of the prospective Bear Grylls.
