An 8-year-old boy survived two days alone in the Michigan wilderness after getting lost on a hiking trip.
Michigan State Police said he was camping with his family at Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, which is located in the state's Upper Peninsula. Officials said more than 150 people joined a search for Nante over the weekend. Search and rescue dogs were also called in to scour a roughly 40 mile area.
Nante, who was wearing a sweatshirt, sweatpants and boots, was found Monday at around 1 p.m. The boy reportedly told police that he stayed warm by covering up with branches and leaves. Police said the volunteers who found him offered to carry him back to the camp, but he told them that he wanted to walk. Trending stories at Scrippsnews.com
