Family Of Four Survives Frigid Weekend In Bush

Another tale of survival in the bush in frigid weather conditions.
A family of four spent three nights stranded over the weekend north of Minaki near Trapline Lake.
The family had gone out on January 18th for a week of trapping.
On their way home, one of their snowmobiles broke down and the other became stuck.
The family, which included a six year old and a ten year old, had survival gear with them and were able to build a shelter, light a fire and had enough food to survive.
They were finally located Monday morning by a pilot who had been contacted family members to try and locate them.
