Alberta woman lost in bush faced off with bear, broke into cabin to survive

An Alberta woman lost in northern bush for two weeks says she faced off with a bear, ate berries and sipped water from streams before she found a remote hunting cabin that helped save her life.

Rhonda Cardinal of Calling Lake says she broke a small window to get into the cabin, where there was water, canned food and socks for her blistered and infected feet.

She spent a couple of nights there before heading out again to find help.

On Tuesday, she came across a road and an oilfield worker driving by in his truck picked her up.

Cardinal says positive thoughts and prayers helped her get through the ordeal.

The only disappointing part now, she says, is that the owner of the cabin wants her to pay for damages.
