A 30-year-old man in Alaska survived more than 20 days in subzero temperatures after his cabin in a remote area of the Susitna Valley burned down.
He told troopers that he had hoped his 6-year-old chocolate Labrador Phil had followed him outside, but the dog did not.
“I have no words for what sorrow; it was just, just a scream. Just a visceral — not angry, not sad — just … all I could express, just scream,” he said. “Felt like I tore my lung out."With his cabin engulfed in flames and his dog gone, Steele said he had to figure out what to do next. Alaska State Troopers said the area Steele lives in is remote with his nearest neighbor being 20 miles away.
As the fire burned, Steele was able to scavenge some canned food and jars of peanut butter from a pantry that had not yet been destroyed by the fire. He said he had enough cans to last him 30 days if he only ate two cans a day. The first two nights after his cabin was destroyed, Steele said he slept inside a snow cave he built. Once the flames went out, he used tarps and lumber he found to build a tent-like structure over what remained of his cabin.
