    Robert Schock - North Cascades National Park - Washington
    Jun 27 2025
    July 31 2024, a 39-year-old ultrarunner vanished in the rugged North Cascades National Park during a 20-mile trail run. Minimally equipped, he became disoriented on wildfire-altered trails, surviving 30 days on berries and river water. Despite extensive searches by sheriff’s deputies, park rangers, and a helicopter, the park’s dense forests and remote terrain hid him. A trail crew’s chance discovery saved his life as he lay emaciated on a riverbank. Join us this week as we learn about the incredible survival story of Robert Schock.

    SHOW NOTE - We're off for the next month as we move into our new studio. We'll be back in August with new episodes!

    Joseph Wood Jr - Mount Rainier National Park - Washington
    Jun 6 2025
    In July 1999, a 34-year-old book editor from New York set out for a day hike near Comet Falls in Mount Rainier National Park.
