Lost and Found: 8-Year-Old Survives Alone in Michigan Wilderness

An 8-year-old boy from Wisconsin spent two days lost in a remote Michigan park before being found. Nante Niemi was helping relatives gather wood at the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park when he got lost. He spent Saturday and Sunday nights alone amid overnight temperatures that fell into the 40s. More than 150 people from various law enforcement groups joined the search on foot, in the air and on water for Nante. Despite the frightening experience, he said, “I’m still going to go camping.”
