Lost in the Wild: Danger and Survival in the North Woods by Cary J. Griffith

I love the Boundary Waters and feel very comfortable there. This book made me reflect on how easily that beautiful wilderness area could turn into a sort of hell. Here, Griffith tells the stories of two men who ventured into the Boundary Waters/Quetico parks, got lost, and almost didn't make it out alive. One was much more experienced in the wilderness than the other, but neither was a novice. Their tales make for a gripping read and a good excuse to pull out the wilderness survival manual!
