    131 | Shattered and Alone: Claire Nelson

    Setting off into nature on your own can be both exhilarating and terrifying. When you are on your own, the only person or being you have to look after is yourself. The worries fall away and responsibilities ebb, leaving the path for peace and quiet wide open. But what being on your own also means is if things go wrong, there is no one to lean on, no one to help you, and no one to call. On [May 22, 2018] Clair Nelson sets off into Joshua Tree National Park for an adventure on her own, and learns the hard way how badly things can go. The outdoors are a beautiful that can be filled with light and bliss and many different ways to bring yourself closer to those you love and yourself. But they can also be filled with terror and death, imminent and oppressive. Join me as we dig into these stories that inspire you to be just a little bit more careful while you’re in the outdoors.

    129 | Abducted

    In August of 2000, 4 American rock climbers made their way into the Pamir Alai Mountains in Kyrgyzstan on what was supposed to be a 6 week climbing adventure. What they didn’t know was that adventure was about to be the kindest word they could use for what they experienced. After a week of climbing, the four were abducted but rebel militants who were desperate to avoid the attention of the Kyrgyz army. To do so, the four were forced to hike through grueling terrain during the night. They were barely given food or water, catapulting them into an even more extreme fight for survival, until one day, that fight for survival became a fight for freedom. Listen now to how the four came face to face with extreme conditions, violent behavior, terrorist behavior, and making it out alive. The outdoors are a beautiful that can be filled with light and bliss and many different ways to bring yourself closer to those you love and yourself.

    On the morning of May 23, 1939, a brand new, with all upgraded technology U.S. Navy submarine by the name of the USS Squalus, set out for a routine test dive in order to join the fleet being readied for war. After the sub suddenly began flooding with water, it plunged to the bottom of the ocean, trapping or killing the 59 of sailors aboard. With the USS Squalus stuck at the bottom of the ocean, the Navy called Swede Momsen who was working on a way to save sailors trapped in submarines, begging for help before the crew ran out of air.
