I know this area very well and is not the place to be trying to live without being adequately supplied. The area is remote, rugged and if you get in trouble out here, you might as well be on the moon. Luckily this man was saved by a passing helicopter then rescued by the RCMP and volunteers on snowmobile.

No one is exactly sure what this person was thinking, however it evokes memories of a certain person named Alexander Supertramp.

A wildlife photographer who planned to spend the winter living in a remote trailer in the wilderness of northeastern B.C. narrowly escaped starving to death after he failed to pack enough provisions.

Hudson's Hope RCMP say the 42-year-old man was trapped for more than two weeks without food in the Carbon Creek area near Williston Lake.

Police and rescue volunteers found the hungry man on Feb. 1, about 36 km from the W.A.C Bennett Dam, according to Hudson's Hope RCMP Cpl. Darel Woroshelo.
