A young hiker lost in the volatile Canadian wilderness for more than a month was found alive Tuesday after weeks of desperate searching, according to reports.
Sam Benastick, 20, was found hobbling down a service road in British Columbia’s Redfern-Keily Provincial Park, where he had been reported missing after failing to return home from a 10-day hiking trip on October 17, according to CBC News.

Is that a record of some type?
No details of what he did right and wrong. Clearly, he was either very lucky or had some great skills.
I’d like to know what he was carrying and doing while “lost”. And, of course, who pays for the search and rescue?
