AN ALASKAN MAN whose remote cabin burned down was rescued weeks later by state troopers who found him near a makeshift shelter with an SOS signal stamped in the snow.
Tyson Steele, 30, was picked up on Thursday in what appeared to be good health at his remote home 20 miles outside of Skwentna, troopers said in a dispatch.
A fire in mid-December killed Steele’s dog and left him with no means of communication, he told troopers.

After his family members and friends had not heard from him for several weeks, they requested a welfare check.
The trooper helicopter crew reached the home at about 11am and saw Steele waving his arms near the makeshift shelter.
Skwentna, with a population of 35, is 70 miles north west of Anchorage.
The trooper helicopter transported Steele to Anchorage.

In a perfect world these workplace tips could be applied. From my own experience people are so intent on climbing the internal corporate ladder they don’t acknowledge the basics of humanity. How often have I heard the phrase “customer is key” whilst that same company will drive roughshod over its employees. There is nothing decent about today’s corporate world. Something we have inherited from our American FDI friends

@Harry Meany: most people struggle with practice and practise as noun and verb in fairness, it isn’t that straight forward. No need to be so haughty. I’d say working in your office would be great craic.
‘Practice your Listening’ ………what about Practise your Spelling!! Being able to write English correctly might be a good tip too. The difference between practice (noun) and practise (verb) is handy around the office!
@Harry Meany: It’s spelt with a ‘c’ in American English when it’s a verb!
@Harry Meany: Thanks for the heads-up Harry, that’s fixed now!
have your say
