A Quesnel Search and Rescue team found a man, 39, who had been lost in the woods for a week after spotting him from the air.
Williams Lake RCMP stated that the man had been reported missing on July 31.
The rescuers reported the rescue on Facebook on Saturday, Aug. 8. The exact location was not disclosed.
"This outcome is the result of countless hours on the ground and in the air, using every resource and piece of technology available to us," the rescue team stated.
The man had painted the words "HELP" on a light-coloured boulder.
Assisting in the search were the RCMP, PEP Air and BC Emergency Health Services.
"Today’s result is why we train, why we respond, and why we never give up," the rescue team stated.
