Heavy snow blanketed the vehicle, trapping him inside.

Temperatures plummeted to as low as 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.

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.
