Andrew Barber, 39, survived nine days lost in British Columbia's wilderness after his truck broke down. He was discovered near McLeese Lake, having built a makeshift shelter and signaling for help by carving 'Help' on a rock and writing 'SOS' in the mud. He drank pond water to stay hydrated and ate whatever he could find. Rescuers, using extensive resources, located him just in time, as his condition was critical. Barber was hospitalized but later released.
