(Fort Severn First Nation Chief Matthew) Kakekaspan said searchers from his community were forced to pull out Tuesday morning. In the roughly two days they searched, the group incurred $70,000 in helicopter rental costs, something Kakekaspan says they could no longer sustain.
(RCMP Sgt. Paul Manaigre) said on Tuesday the police force has one Mountie in the area presently.
RCMP initially said the Canada Rangers were requested to attend, but they decided against it because “it was just too dangerous.”
If you are able to donate money to help with the search there are 2 choices – the first is to donate directly to the people searching … waynemathews72@gmail.com … option 2 is to Steffen’s family’s gofundme … gofundme.com/…/help-fund-the-search-for-steffen-s…

Seeing as one of his dogs made it, he probably got swept away crossing the river that York factory is on. Two days and they didn’t find him on the river banks or in the water means very likely dead.
Both dogs made it. One is at York Factory and one is in Fort Severn.
All the info is posted on Steffen Skjottelvik’s fb page.
One dog made it York factory. If he, the human, was lost early or midway, there’s no way the dog would know how to go to York factory. So he would have be to be lost within like a mile of York factory and the dog could hear or smell the town and know where to go. More likely they were crossing the river and the dog made it and he didn’t.
Glad the dog made it
