No matter how you look at World War 2, it was tragic on levels beyond our own comprehension. Life was severed and lost and many parents went their entire lives without confirmation of when or how their children died. The Crane family experienced the same fate in 1944 when their youngest son went missing. 

But no one knew he was the shadow walking through Alaska in the middle of winter. 

The outdoors are a beautiful that can be filled with light and bliss and many different ways to bring yourself closer to those you love and yourself. But they can also be filled with terror and death, imminent and oppressive. Join me as we dig into these stories that inspire you to be just a little bit more careful while you’re in the outdoors.
