Lost in the Wild
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. More than four hours later, Dan awakened with a lump on his head from a fall 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. He stepped into a gap among cedar trees to look for the next portage--and did not return.
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.
