The South Cariboo Search and Rescue are commending a 17 year old missing snowmobiler.
In a Facebook Post, Search and Rescue said that the youth did everything right after things went wrong. He got separated from his group after multiple failed attempts to get back out of the area. He then parked his sled in a wide open area, walked over to a nearby treed area and built himself a snow cave to spend the night. When he was discovered he was in the shelter with food and water.
Backcountry enthusiasts are encouraged to be prepared before embarking.
