Any recs out there for a book about nature outings that turn into a rescue mission or survival? Maybe a backpacking trip gone wrong, or a mountain expedition?
I read a great article about a nonfiction search and rescue in Nee Hampshire. I tried finding other articles but nothing to that level of detail. I’ve started Into Thin Air, but the nonfiction aspect of it can get tiring.
I do want a sense of “what happens next.” Thanks!

Endurance – Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage is amazing. I had a hard time putting it down
Endurance by Alfred Lansing
Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
Call of the Wild and White Fang by Jack London
The Cremation of Sam McGee by Robert Service 🙂
For a fictionalized account of a real event (that is, not a lot of detail is known so the author fleshed the story out) check out *Isola*.
Wild by Cheryl Strayed
Call of the Wild or “To Build a Fire” by Jack London
Lord of the Flies
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King. Not horror.

Touching the Void by Joe Simpson is non-fiction but a really excellent read.
Steve Rinellas campfire stories on audible
The Ruins-Scott Smith
438 Days by Jonathan Franklin is really good. Follows two men who get caught in a storm on his fishing boat off the Pacific coast of Mexico. True story.
Small Game by Blair Braverman is fantastic!! Wildness survival reality show goes wrong; the camera crew never comes back and they actually have to survive in the wild and escape back to civilization.
