Kidnapped while hunting for rare orchids and held captive for 9 months: Tom Hart Dyke's story [#29]
Tom Hart Dyke is a world renowned horticulturalist and plant-hunter. In the year 2000, while hunting for rare orchids in the deadly Darien Gap (between Columbia & Panama), he and his travel companion were held up at gun-point, and kidnapped. They were held captive for the next 9 months. They didn't know who kidnapped them, why they did it, or if there was any chance of survival.
We talk in detail all about the unbelievable ordeal they had to suffer through, and Tom recalls some of his memories of it, he says talking about it feels like therapy to him. Tom is seemingly one of the world's greatest storytellers, and he has the stories to match.
