A man missing for more than a week in the vast wilderness of Canada's province of British Columbia has been found after etching the word "help" on a rock and drawing "SOS" in the mud.
Andrew Barber was rescued by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) on 8 August - nine days after the 39-year-old was reported missing - after a helicopter spotted his truck on a forest road, which helped narrow the search.
Police say he was severely dehydrated and had a leg injury but used a number of tactics to survive, including building a shelter and drinking pond water.
Staff Sgt Brad McKinnon of the Williams Lake RCMP said Mr Barber is doing "quite well".
He was reported missing on 31 July near McLeese Lake, some 365 miles (587km) north of Vancouver, where his truck had broken down.
