    141: The Price of Mount Everest

    When people talk about climbing Everest, most of us picture the iconic summit image. The snow, the flags, the breathtaking view. What we don’t picture is that getting there takes about two months, tens of thousands of dollars, weeks of slow suffering, and a real risk of never making it home.

    140: Spirit of the Eagle - The Garrett Bardsley Story

    It was supposed to be a quiet morning in the mountains- just a father and son, a morning fishing session, and the promise of one last summer memory before school started. But sometime after 8 a.m., a twelve-year-old boy turned to walk back to camp... and was never seen again. This is the disappearance of Garrett Bardsley.

    139: The Boys of Mount Waryong

    On a national holiday five kids headed out to play with their friends. Their parents assume they’re out in the neighborhood like any other day. Yet, by the next day, an entire nation is searching for children who seem to have vanished. This is the story of the Frog Boys and of how sometimes a normal day can quickly transform into decades of unanswered questions. The five boys were Woo Cheol-won, Jo Ho-yeon, Kim Young-gyu, Park Chan-in and Kim Jong-sik.

    138: Coyote Attack at Cape Breton

    Most of us go into the woods looking for a break from day-to-day life- a soft reset, a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and disappear into nature for a while. But on an October afternoon in Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton Highlands National Park, a 19-year-old musician with a budding career stepped onto one of the park’s most popular trails… and never made it back. This is the story of Taylor Mitchell- and the rare, terrifying attack that changed how people in Canada, and beyond, think about coyotes forever.

    137: From Freefall to Everest

    Perfect conditions can’t promise a perfect outcome. On November 14th, 2021, the skies over Suffolk, Virginia, were clear, the winds were calm, and everything about the day said go. For Jordan Hatmaker, it was supposed to be just another jump and one step closer to a skydiving license. What started as a perfect day would end in disaster.

    136: A Fatal Fall in the Backcountry

    He was a doctor, a father, and an experienced outdoorsman on a long-planned trip into Colorado’s backcountry. It started off according to plan- until he continued on alone. What followed was a disappearance that sparked a massive search and left behind more questions than answers.

    135: Beyond the Mistake - Vance Family Tragedy

    Compassion is caring enough to see the person, not the mistake, even when you disagree with the choices they made. As I share today's story, you will have opinions. Likely strong ones. About what they shouldn’t have done. About what they could’ve done differently. About what you would’ve done if they were your family, but passing judgement doesn't bring anyone back to life.

    134: Lost at White Wolf - The Disappearance of Peter Jackson

    Yosemite is a place people go to disappear into nature. Granite walls, endless forests, and trails that seem to stretch forever. But for some, disappearing quickly changes to missing. And in September of 2016, that’s what happened to one hiker. A remote campground. A solo hike. And no answers. This is the story of Peter Fancher Jackson.
