Hiker Sam Benastick was found by two men on Tuesday after spending more than a month in the snowy British Columbia wilderness.
It started out as a regular Tuesday morning for two men heading out on a trail for work in the backcountry of Canada’s northeast British Columbia when they spotted another man trudging out of the wilderness. They recognized him as the lost hiker Sam Benastick, who had been reported missing more than a month ago, on October 19, according to the Northern Rockies Royal Canadian Mounted Police .
After all the time he was missing, it was feared that this was would not be the outcome,” said Cpl Madonna Saunderson, BC RCMP Communications. His parents and brother stayed at the Buffalo Inn in Pink Mountain, British Columbia, for more than 20 days during an extensive search for their son, the general manager of the inn, Mike Reid told CNN.
