Ep. 54: Pants-less Required Reading Material (Donn Fendler)

Listen Later

We are gonna make it off of Mt Katahdin! This week, we talk about the survival story of 12-year-old Donn Fendler who ended up being stranded with nothing at the peak of Mt Katahdin, and how he was able to self-rescue off of the mountain. He encountered bear while trying to scavenge for food, he lost his pants AND his shoes, and he still managed to last for 9 days out in the mountain wilderness of Maine and find help. You can read about his story in the book, Lost on a Mountain in Maine, and remember your 1930s Boy Scouts training!

Always keep something on you as Donn says; food, water, first aid pack, and a whistle!
