A couple in their 60's, missing for seven days after a hike, walked out of the British Columbia bush and up to an idling SAR helicopter in a clearing -- just as the search was being called off.

Temperatures for the week were soaring -- up to 40 C.

Their families were in another SAR helicopter flying over the area to say their final goodbyes. They got the news while in the air, above the couple's last known location.

Apparently the couple didn't see what all the fuss was about. Though they were down to their last TicTac.

The number of things these folks did to get themselves in trouble is classic. Even so they did a thing or two right. I guess it goes to show how small choices can turn the tide in your favour.
