When a canoe trip in Minnesota's Boundary Waters goes catastrophically wrong, Jason Rasmussen finds himself alone, without supplies, and miles from civilisation. What follows is an extraordinary true story of survival against impossible odds in one of North America's most unforgiving wilderness areas.

Griffith expertly reconstructs the harrowing five-day ordeal, combining meticulous research with gripping narrative tension. As hypothermia sets in and hope dwindles, readers are drawn into every desperate decision and hard-won victory. This is more than a survival tale—it's a profound exploration of human resilience, the thin line between life and death in the wild, and the mistakes that can turn an ordinary adventure into a fight for survival.

Essential reading for anyone who ventures into wild places, offering both cautionary lessons and inspiration in equal measure.
