    The Lost Girls Of Panama

    It’s not unusual for those in their early twenties to want to get out into the world and explore it. Plenty of young people have found themselves backpacking across foreign lands, sleeping in hostels and meeting strangers in strange places, that will become lifelong friends, sharing lifelong memories. But it’s dangerous. Let’s not forget that. Anything that fits the bill of adventure - must naturally be so.   To advertise on this podcast please email: ad-sales@libsyn.com    Or go to: https://advertising.libsyn.com/Marooned    Sources:  MSNBC, How this journalist found herself in the middle of a Panamanian true crime story Koude Kaas Cold case blog (information compiled from various sources) News from Dutch investigators on the finding of the backpack and its content Cell phones record the last moments of the Dutch women Dutch women had no plans to leave their accommodations in Panama, says landlady Ouders Kris en Lisanne: Het voelde gelijk al niet - RTL LATE NIGHT Lost in the Wild 'Reddingsteam was dicht bij vermiste Kris en Lisanne in Panama' In den Kleinen Hap Imperfect Plan / 2 Daily Beast- The full story

    Alexander Selkirk

    There are many similarities between the fictional stories of Robinson Crusoe and the Tom Hanks film, Castaway. Man becomes stranded on a deserted island, following a wreck. Man first struggles to survive, before becoming one with his surroundings, and thrives. Man is rescued, and finds himself missing life on the island. But there is one major similarity that is often overlooked, and that is that both of these critically acclaimed, fictional survival stories, are based on the real life Marooning of Alexander Selkirk.

    Will To Live

    We admire those willing to put themselves in such peril with the interest of exploration and discovery in mind, but with those who choose it for fun? It’s hard for the rest of us to wrap our heads around.  Let’s take something common. SkyDiving.  It’s said you’ll never feel so alive! And that’s because… you’ll never feel so close to certain death. “But it’s safe!”, they’ll say. And to that I respond. I’m sure it is. Airplanes are safe too. Here’s the problem with both. If something small goes wrong… that’s a big problem.   Visit our website! visitmarooned.com   To advertise on this podcast please email: ad-sales@libsyn.com    Or go to: https://advertising.libsyn.com/Marooned

    Father Son Time

    It’s always nice to get away for a day, or even a moment, with someone who had a hand in raising you. Buy them lunch. To repay one of those bags of food they prepared you before school. Sit down and listen. Something a child or teenager takes for granted; that someone will always be there to listen. At least for the lucky ones. So how unlucky to take your dad for a trip as a way of thanking him for a healthy exposure to the wild, and put him in danger of exposure… in the wild?   To advertise on this podcast please email: ad-sales@libsyn.com    Or go to: https://advertising.libsyn.com/Marooned    Sources: https://www.latimes.com/style/la-os-live16sep16-story.html https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/2003/06/13/father-son-stranded-for-4-days-in-alaska/62039607007/ https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Doctor-Recounds-Alaskan-Rafting-Ordeal-10547388.php   https://www.newspapers.com/image/1001641416/ https://www.newspapers.com/image/915913270/?match=1&terms=Blake%20Stanfield%20Alaska https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koyukuk_Riverhttps://www.nps.gov/gaar/learn/what-is-gates-of-the-arctic.htm#:~:text=The%20park%20name%20came%20from,into%20the%20far%20north%20Arctic.

    Last Breath

    Taking one last breath is something we all practice as kids, experimenting with how long we can hold out before seeing stars. On September 18th of 2012, saturation diver Chris Lemons found himself in an impossible game of life or death, that went from seeing stars to becoming one in an upcoming feature film.   Please rate and review Marooned on apple podcasts, Spotify, Castbox, or Amazon Music.

    Lost On The Lava

    Lost on a lava field. Trudging along for days on an ever growing expanse. Mocked by the choppy chuckle of helicopter blades that fly tourists overhead. They’re not looking for you. A grey speck on a chalkboard searching for the road you came in on. Searching for signs then searching for water. And finding nothing as easy as it should be. Maybe a torch would attract some attention? But the lava flows are too hot to close in on. How frustrating. To be in hell and not even able to achieve fire.  Please leave us a review or mention us to friends and co-workers. Remember, Jack & Aaron appreciate you. visitmarooned.com Sources: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna8683168 https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-jul-24-me-volcano24-story.html https://texasequusearch.org/wp-content/uploads/GaedckeDewey-2.pdf   - Missing Poster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j_S9x8ATNM - I Shouldn’t Be A live S5E9 https://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?7739-Real-Life-Survival-Stories https://archives.starbulletin.com/2005/07/24/news/story4.html

    The Coast Guard Disaster

    It’s important to know what you're getting into, but in many of life's decisions there's a hard truth of that not being completely possible. Like when joining the United States Armed Forces for instance. No amount of literature or film based on the Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Marine Corps or Coast Guard, can truly prepare one for all that such a career may throw at you. Or into. Or out of.   Sources: Bearing Drift by Peter Eident The Sinking of the USCGC Cuyahoga | PropTalk  Deadliest American Disasters and Large Loss of Life Events 1978 — Oct 20, USCG Cutter Cuyahoga hit/sunk by freighter Santa Cruz II ~Smith Point, MD-11 – Deadliest American Disasters and Large-Loss-of-Life Events  Casualty Report ADA076437.pdf    Please tell others about Marooned. Without you and your friends and neighbors listening, Jack and Aaron are likely to end up on a remote beach...marooned.

    The Luckiest Woman Alive

    The idea of pulling a large parachute behind you until the wind catches it, then running down a mountainside until you're swept up into the air… is called paragliding. Some might argue that what was just described sounds more like a nightmare. For professional paraglider, 36 year old Ewa Wisnierska, back in 2007 at the Manilla XC Open - it was a little bit of both.   Please leave us a review! :-)   Sources: Miracle in the Storm (2010) Documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TUIGvIkDDs   BBC Interview with Ewa https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p05ky78m   2007 World Championship Results https://www.fai.org/sites/default/files/civl/documents/10th_fai_world_paragliding_championships_female.pdf https://www.fai.org/sites/default/files/civl/documents/10th_fai_world_paragliding_championships_overall.pdf   http://xcopen.org/index.php/competitions/37-2007-xc-open-manilla   https://xcmag.com/news/comp-series-understanding-competition-tasks/
