Heavy snow blanketed the vehicle, trapping him inside.
Temperatures plummeted to as low as 30 degrees Celsius.
Minus 30 degrees Celsius.
He was found by chance 60 days later by snowmobilers who thought they'd come across a scrapped vehicle.
They dug through a metre of snow to find him emaciated, barely able to speak and huddled inside a sleeping bag on the back seat.
He survived because he had no food.
Yeah.
He ate snow.
Now, they attributed his survival to the igloo effect.
The heavy snow actually covering the car.
Creates a bit of warmth.
Yeah, insulation trapping what little body heat he emitted through into the sleeping bag and keeping the interior of the car just below freezing rather than that lethal minus 30 degrees Celsius.
So he can go 60 days without food.
Yeah, so some experts think his body may have entered a slowed semi-hibernation survival mode to preserve energy.
That's cruel.
What, ticker?
60 days.
Also, he had no scrogging on hand.
I hope your radio's still going, eh?
So you can still keep up with the morning rumble.
