To be stranded anywhere - Marooned - sucks. It’s going to be uncomfortable. You’re going to have to find a way to get through it, until rescue. Usually that means finding shelter, eating bugs, and drinking urine. You know the deal. But for astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore it will mean an extended stay in the place they've always longed to be. Outer Space.

Timothy Treadwell, infamously known as “Grizzly Man”, referred to himself as The Kind Warrior. A nod to his tireless work in the wild as a documentarian and aspiring arbiter of all things animal. This unique character strove to become one with the bears of Alaska. A dream that would be fulfilled in nightmare fashion.

The Jungle looks like a pretty fun place in cartoons. Appears to be a hot spot for adventure in the movies. Juliane Koepcke, a teenager at the time of this story, knew the adventure part. She, unlike most German teenagers, had spent time in the jungle. Not enough to master its secrets to survival, but apparently just enough to give it a problem killing her... after the plane crash failed to do it.

On top of the world. You’d think you’d be jubilant. But at the peak of Mount Everest there’s little energy to celebrate. You’ve got about 20 minutes to enjoy the view, to take in your enormous accomplishment - before it’s time to go. You’re dying. You’re at high risk of cerebral edema. Brain swelling. It’s a grand achievement but you must go back down. You can’t let it get to your head. Or you will die. In the Death Zone.

What could be worse than becoming lost at sea?. Without a boat. Drifting with the current… What could be worse?Hanging on to half a dozen other unfortunate souls, some wailing that they can’t hang on for much longer… Sharks swimming below… no thanks. But then an island pops up. And you feel the heat of its sand beneath you by morning. What could be better? Fresh water for sure. Hey… maybe that Komodo dragon over there knows where to find some….
