Missing person Kevin "Bear" Henry has been located, after spending months in a wooded area in mid-Vancouver Island.
Henry, 37, was last in contact with family members on Nov. 27, and was reported missing to Victoria police on Dec. 11.
A video posted on the Fairy Creek Blockade Facebook page on Wednesday afternoon shows Henry at a Tim Hortons with others.
Lake Cowichan RCMP say they were called to the Tim Hortons around 3:15 p.m. and confirmed that Henry was safe.
"We understand there are many questions with respect to how and where the individual survived," said the RCMP detachment in a statement.
"The RCMP is now working to determine more specific details but will leave it to the missing person to determine how, or if those details are shared publicly."
In the video, Henry, who identifies as Two-Spirited, can be heard speaking with someone over the phone about how they arrived back into town.
"I'm good. I'm sore but I'm (relieved)," the video shows Henry saying.
"I was at Fairy Creek," they said. "So I walked back from where my van was. It took me like two days and I got to the top of this bridge that goes into Caycuse. It's like a little campground, like a backcountry campground, and I got to the top of that and these two loggers came randomly."
