Riassunto

From the publisher of Not Without Peril and No Limits But the Sky, this collection seeks the lessons learned from twenty stories of backcountry incidents, from close-calls to unsolved mysteries. First-hand accounts, route maps, photos, and expert analysis from Search and Rescue professionals illuminate the realities faced in the Northeastern wilds. Readers who immerse themselves in these near misses, methodical searches, and the gut-wrenching clarity of hindsight will be better prepared for whatever the wilderness brings.
