A 30-year-old man in Alaska survived more than 20 days in subzero temperatures after his cabin in a remote area of the Susitna Valley burned down.
Tyson Steele was rescued by an aircrew with Alaska State Troopers on Thursday. A video authorities posted on their Facebook page showed Steele frantically waving his arms while standing next to a giant “SOS” sign etched into the snow.
Steels told authorities that he had been stuck out in the snowy wilderness since mid-December when his cabin burned down after he mistakenly put a piece of cardboard into his wood stove to help light it.
"I knew it was a problem, I've had wood stoves all my life. I knew that you don't do that,” he said. “So, it sent a spark out through the chimney which landed on the roof."
