EDMONTON - An Edson sheep hunter trapped in a mountain canyon for three days was so desperate to get warm that he set his shirt on fire to generate heat.

Roy Getson, 25, was plucked by helicopter Thursday morning from the three-metre wide canyon in the mountains about 40 kilometres northwest of Nordegg. He was hunting big-horn sheep alone Monday when he slipped and fell about 15 metres into the gorge as he stopped to take a scenic picture.

"It's something I've done 100 times before in different places, and this time I fell in," Getson said Saturday from his home in Edson. "It was a fairly straight fall down into the water."

Getson landed in a shallow creek. He was only about one and a half kilometres from his truck at the time.
