    That's incredible and proves it's not a bad idea to keep a few things within arms reach.

    red arrow points to Sayward BC. Kid went off the highway somewhere here.......40 feet down an embankment, out of sight of the traffic above. He is dang lucky a hunter happened to walk thru on Day 5 and spot the wreckage. At first the hunter did not know there was someone inside........! kid is so lucky.

    Vancouver Island is about the size of 65% of the west coast of the USA. Texas aint got nuthin' on us BC folks! ;)
