In the summer of 1913, the wooden-hulled brigantine Karluk departed Canada for the Arctic Ocean. At the helm was Captain Bob Bartlett, considered the world’s greatest living ice navigator. The expedition’s visionary leader was a flamboyant impresario named Vilhjalmur Stefansson hungry for fame. Just six weeks after the Karluk departed, giant ice floes closed in around her. As the ship became icebound, Stefansson disembarked with five companions and struck out on what he claimed was a 10-day caribou hunting trip. Most on board would never see him again.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 118
In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the incident—unexplained violent injuries, signs that they cut open and fled the tent without proper clothing or shoes, a strange final photograph taken by one of the hikers, and elevated levels of radiation found on some of their clothes—have led to decades of speculation over what really happened.

Gripping and often poetic, Alone Against the North is a classic adventure story of single-minded obsession, physical hardship, and the restless sense of wonder that every explorer has in common. What Shoalts discovered as he paddled downriver was a series of unmapped waterfalls that could easily have killed him. Just as astonishing was the media reaction when he got back to civilization. He was feted by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and congratulated by the Governor General. People were enthralled by Shoalts’s proof that the world is bigger than we think.

Publisher's Summary
In the wilderness, one false step can make the difference between a delightful respite and a brush with death.
On a beautiful summer afternoon in 1998, Dan Stephens, a 22-year-old canoeist, was leading a trip deep into Ontario's Quetico Provincial Park. He stepped into a gap among cedar trees to look for the next portage - and did not return. More than four hours later, Dan awakened from a fall with a lump on his head and stumbled deeper into the woods, confused.
Three years later, Jason Rasmussen, a third-year medical student who loved the forest's solitude, walked alone into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness on a crisp fall day. After a two-day trek into a remote area of the woods, he stepped away from his campsite and made a series of seemingly trivial mistakes that left him separated from his supplies, wet, and lost, as cold darkness fell.
Enduring days without food or shelter, these men faced the full harsh force of wilderness, the place that they had sought out for tranquil refuge from city life. Lost in the Wild takes listeners with them as they enter realms of pain, fear, and courage, as they suffer dizzying confusion and unending frustration, and as they overcome seemingly insurmountable hurdles in a race to survive.

Not great narrator
I was not fond of the narrators reading style. He’s a bit William Shatner sounding with broken sentences and pauses which I found distracting from the overall story.

Not Bad, troubling detail though
One nagging question, Why didn't Jason use the camera flash to signal the plane as it passed overhead?

Great for the outdoors lover
Excellent stories and gripping insights to the beauty and harshness of mother nature. Although trying to illustrate a scene and an emotion, occasionally the book can get lost in details and names. Aside from that this book has you realizing just how insignificant you can be out in the wild, up against mother nature's bare elements.

Much Better Than I Expected
I'm not sure why I originally purchased this one, I think it was a 2 for 1 sale. I had been putting it off for a while, but I really really enjoyed it. it's a great story, I learned some stuff and already knew some of the mistakes the characters made. The narrator was great, definitely worth a listen.

True story
If you're familiar with wilderness travel, you'll spend a lot of time shaking your head at all the mistakes the Characters make. But realizing it's a true story, makes sense.

Very suspenseful!
This book was very suspenseful from beginning to end! I was on the edge of my earphones more than once and cried several times due to the different outcomes! Wow! It's amazing how easy it is for Mother Nature to play with us like a cat with a little field mouse in her paws when she wants to! Roger Wayne was spot on with his narration in all ways that were very engaging as a listener. Loved it and am going to listen again.

Struggled to finish
I had a hard time staying interested with this one... The stories were good but the bouncing back and forth between the two was frustrating. Wasn't my favorite narration either.

Survival at its finest !
I wasn't sure if this Audible book would keep me interested but once I started it, I wanted to keep listening to it. The human spirit is amazing and it truly makes one wonder how people keep trekking on even at such odds.
