Stranded in Remote Canada: Andrew Barber's Nine-Day Fight to Survive | E 186
On July 28, 2025, 39-year-old Andrew Barber's tire blew out on a remote forest service road in British Columbia's Cariboo wilderness while searching for his missing dog. What began as a simple mechanical failure transformed into a nine-day fight for survival where Andrew built a shelter, carved "HELP" into a rock, and faced an impossible choice: drink contaminated pond water or die from dehydration. When an RCMP helicopter finally spotted his distress signals, rescue teams estimated he had less than 24 hours left to live.
