About

Over four years ago, I read “Touching the Void” and I was always intrigued by situation hikers find themselves in and the incredible things they do to stay alive.

This blog is about learning from other people’s mistakes, so you don’t make the same ones.

“Better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat”

Lost Hikers found in Hawaii


Who: Two 18-year-old guys
Where: Nonou Mountain, Hawaii
Their mistake: They took a fall, but that’s it
What happened: Two men were hiking on a trail when they both slipped off the trail and fell from the trail. They were unable to get back up to the trail and became disoriented. The hikers called 911 for help at 3:55 p.m. Authorities used e911 to track their location and a helicopter was sent.

The chopper made contact with the hikers at 4:30 p.m. Each hiker was plucked from the mountain separately. That’s some quick work.
