After going missing while on a snowmobile, a Canadian teenager managed to survive by building a snow cave to stay in until he was found

A 17-year-old in British Columbia, who has not been named, built himself a snow cave the backcountry to shelter in after being separated from his group, according to South Cariboo Search and Rescue.

Family and friends of the teen had returned to a parking lot, but he had never showed, according to a news release from RCMP. "This young man did everything right after things went wrong," SAR wrote in a Facebook post praising the teen."He got separated from his group and after multiple failed attempts to get back out of the area, the way he got into it and not knowing the terrain and area, he parked his sled in a wide-open area, walked over to a nearby treed area and built himself an incredible snow cave to spend the night.
