On September 20, 2004, a Cessna 206 aircraft crashed while flying to a rural Schafer Meadows airstrip in Montana. Of the five people on board, only two would survive. Burned, injured, and presumed dead, forest service workers Jodee Hogg and Matt Ramige, were left to fight for survival, and descend the treacherous terrain in search of help.
