A Canadian man who embarked on a camping trip in the cold, wild terrain of the Northern Rockies was found safe after he was reported missing more than five weeks ago, authorities said. Sam Benastick, 20, of the city of Kamloops, flagged down two people headed to work at Redfern Lake trail in state-run Redfern-Keily Park on Tuesday, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Cpl. Madonna Saunderson said in a statement Wednesday.
' Benastick was reporting missing by family Oct. 19 after he did not return from a camping trip, Kamloops Search and Rescue said. He had last checked in with family on Oct. 8, Central Okanagan Search and Rescue, which also participated in the search, said in a statement.
