Man found after wandering 2 months in Canada wild

POWELL RIVER, British Columbia, Sept 24 (Reuters) - A hiker
was treated for hypothermia on Friday after he apparently spent
more than two months wandering lost in the rugged wilderness of
Canada's Pacific coast.
The man told police who discovered him Thursday that he had
departed July 17 from a remote cabin near Toba Inlet destined
for a lake about 25 miles (40 km) away near Powell River -- a
coastal community about 80 miles (135 km) northwest of
Vancouver.
"What he said was he had run out of food a month ago and
was living on berries and trout he could catch, and sleeping in
the bush without a tent or anything," said Sgt. Andy Brinton,
of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The 47-year-old man, whose name was not released but who is
from the area, was never reported missing. Mounties discovered
him while investigating a report of a suspicious person
wandering on a logging road, Brinton said.
"He probably got confused, and ended up running out of food
and still had a month of wandering around before he made it
out," Brinton said.
Powell River and Toba Inlet are on the edge of the Coastal
Mountain Range. Most of the small fishing communities are
reachable only by boat or float plane, and the terrain between
them is marked by thick rainforests and small glaciers.
The man was having difficulty walking when officers found
him. He was transported to a hospital in Powell River, where he
is being treated for severe hypothermia.
