Man found after two nights lost in West Coast bush
A 19-year-old Greymouth man who spent two nights lost in the West Coast bush says he did not think he would make it out alive.
John Osborne was found within bush near Notown, east of Greymouth, by police and a Land Search and Rescue team on Friday morning.
Osborne urged anyone else going into the bush to be prepared, even if they did not intend to there for long.
"I'd be a lot more prepared in future, check the time, charge my phone, bring a lighter, some snacks, tell people where you are going. I am pretty lucky to be here still. It nearly cost me my life," he said.
