Story3.5 out of 5 stars 2
Only four men survived the plane crash. The pilot. A politician. A cop... and the criminal he was shackled to. On an icy night in October 1984, a commuter plane carrying nine passengers crashed in the remote wilderness of northern Alberta. Four survived: the rookie pilot, a prominent politician, a cop, and the criminal he was escorting to face charges. As the men fight through the night to stay alive, the dividing lines of power, wealth, and status are erased, and each man is forced to confront the precious and limited nature of his existence.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 75

Augustus Berry lives a day-to-day existence comprised of waking up, getting drunk, and preparing for the inevitable day when "they" will come up the side of his mountain and penetrate his fortress. Living on the outskirts of a city and scavenging for whatever supplies remain after civilization died two years ago, Gus knows that every time he goes down into undead suburbia could be his last.

Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, home to only a handful of people, is a harsh and lonely place. So when James Campbell's cousin Heimo Korth asked him to spend a summer building a cabin in the rugged Interior, Campbell hesitated about inviting his 15-year-old daughter, Aidan, to join him. Would she be able to withstand clouds of mosquitoes, the threat of grizzlies, bathing in an ice-cold river, and hours of grueling labor peeling and hauling logs? But once there, Aidan embraced the wild.

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.

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.

What a great listen!
As one who lives in a rural, northern area and who hikes the wilderness often, this book intrigued me. What a treat! The story narrates the stories of two men and their journeys through the wilderness as they got unexpectedly lost in the very remote woods of northern Minnesota and Canada. I listened nearly the entire way through, stopping only to sleep. The stories were captivating, and it provided terrific info on what to do (and what NOT to do) if lost in the woods. The narrator did a great job with the stories, and each of the two men's tales were equally riveting. Their determination to survive was heart-wrenching. If you're a lover of the outdoors or of survival stories, I highly recommend!

Gripping accounts of survival and rescue
I began listening to this book just days after a 6 day canoe trip in the Boundary Waters area. I am familiar with some of the areas where these sagas unfold and can attest to the wild nature of the terrain and environment. It’s a gripping account of the will to survive and the absolute dedication of the first responders and SAR personnel that come to rescue lost or injured folks in the backcountry. One you start listening you won’t want to hit the pause button!

Too detailed
too many details turned this very interesting story into a chore to listen to. The smallest detail like when and exactly how the person went to the bathroom really took the polish off an otherwise good story. Would have been much more enjoyable had it been a wee less descriptive. It's hard to engage with since not even the most minute detail is left to imagination.

Enjoyable Overall
I enjoyed this book overall. I always struggle with narrators who do voices, and the falsetto voices were distracting, but otherwise the narration was well-paced and didn't distract from the story. The format of the book, with its alternating chapters, was a little hard to follow in the audio version, especially if you missed the chapter subheading. I appreciated how the author highlighted the mistakes of Jason and Dan without dwelling on them too much, since they were largely the kinds of mistakes any person could make. I'm not sure I would listen to it again, but I don't regret picking it up.

inspiring story of wilderness survival in BWCAW
Could not put it down,
probably because next day I planned to leave for a hiking trip in BWCAW, well written but few times I thought the author started the sentence with the word "He" to frequently but I would still recommend this book for anyone who loves wilderness.

A suspenseful adventure into the woods
Two fascinating and gripping stories of wilderness survival are interwoven by the author. The descriptive writing gives you a clear picture of the harrowing experiences of Dan and Jason, while the clear narration keeps the switches from one to the other from being confusing. in fact, on the contrary, the shifts back and forth build suspense and keep you listening. The narrator is clear, gives each character his or her own voice and does a good job with the accents. His inflections and tone also keep your interest and add richness to the narration.
