A Utah man who was stuck in Alaska wilderness has been&nbsp;rescued nearly three weeks after his house was burnt down and had almost no food left to survive.&nbsp;

Tyson Steele, 30, was rescued from his remote homestead in the Susitna Valley on Thursday morning, as per a news release by Alaska State Troopers.&nbsp;

A video showed that Steele was waving to a helicopter and wrote SOS in capital letters in the snow.

The 30-year-old later said that he survived on the remnants of canned rations and peanut butter for 22 days after his house was burnt in a fire. He also said that he was sleeping in a snow cave and makeshift shelter that he built around his wooden stove.

Steele told troopers that he earlier living in a lightweight frame, covered in plastic tarps. He also admitted that the fire started because of his "hasty" mistake.&nbsp;

In order to kindle fire, he put a large piece of cardboard into his wooden stove. A flaming piece landed on the roof.&nbsp;

He added that when he woke up in the middle of the night on December 17 or 18 he realized that the plastic was melting.&nbsp;

When he went out of his homestead, he saw that "the whole roof's on fire".

Steele also lost Phil, his dog in the fire.&nbsp;

However, Steele immediately started figuring out a plan for survival. He realised that he has enough canned goods, beans and peanut butter that will last for a month.&nbsp;

The authorities also said that Steele lost his phone in the fire. Steele hoped that his friends or family would have a welfare check for him after they realise that they haven't heard from him for a long time.

Steele slept in a snow cave and later made a better shelter from tarps and lumber.&nbsp;

Steele also said that it was so cold that his urine would "freeze".&nbsp;
