About Epic Survival Stories:

The cabin is a ''deus ex machina'' in the story, he's got ready made shelter, food, water, a rifle, an axe, probably knives and other tools. He's has ONLY to use these things to the best of his ability and HUNT, fish, and trap game to survive. The cabin is beyond what any stranded person could hope for. IF he doesn't stay put, and think his way through till spring, he's laughing in God's face.
**holy guacamole!! There's ANOTHER CABIN??!! He can stay in that one!! But does he??

I don't believe this is true, because an isolated place no road , and the Cabin was built, they would have needed a road to take all the logs, glass, etc. , and it was built that would have cost a lot of money, it said' it was built for people who go lost lost"". a place like that would mean a lot of people getting lost. Is an isolated place and cold, people would not be travelling there. Also, a Cabin in a isolated place and a person inside is all just not natural. It would mean, a constant having logs for the fire, how was it taken there ??? a log journey to taake logs. and where did it come from??/ is not a normal way

Give thanks to God, it was He who moved in the hearts of the people to build and stock the survival cabins. Thanks to God and thanks to the people who did it.

the most interesting thing was there was no polar bear in one of the cabins....

I would have stayed in the 2nd cabin till spring. He had a gun so he could have hunted all winter. But too it was likely easier to walk over the rivers and creeks etc in the winter.

Sounds too good to be true about all the cabins were ment for ones that lost their way, first I heard of it

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

Put this into your Google map and you'll see the crash site.
I live up here and have been obsessed since reading the book and actually being in Hanger 1 on wainwright (ladd field). Couldn't find the location anywhere and i found it using the names of the rivers from the book.

@YukonCornelius8613

Fun fact, only about 50 people a year fly in within 2 miles of the crash site. But they all float down to the Yukon.

I called the rangers for information, very few people have actually been to the site but its still there and apparently there is a beautiful lake anther mile hike beyond. Only certain companies can fly in and it'll cost about 3k to round trip.

New subscriber to your channel. I really enjoy true survival stories of any sort. I do ,however , get irritated with the Mountain Climber misadventures because they seem so self absorbed and seem to only be concerned with themselves and just saying they did Everest , Mount McKinley, etc etc. Seems like pilots are put at risk to drop them a survivor cable off a steep ledge and other Search and Rescue personnel that have to climb in horrid conditions to search for these fools that thought they had more skill and experience than they really actually did. The just irritate me with their self absorbed selfish thrill seeking attitudes. Does anyone else feel that way? Maybe it's just me .
Thank you for the great story ! Please share more when you are able to do so ! Thank You !

If by some chance this all happened this way, the only sense i get out of the cabins, is they belonged to a hunter ,i find it far fetched it just happened stocked cabins in Alaska 😂 wow talk about luck of the Irish

This geezer loves a nice warm cabin doesn't he? Sounds like just a lovely holiday to me.

@wanderer4life
@

The author asked what we thought was most interesting, and to me it is that good folks leave cabins stocked with food and fuel to save lost people. When these folks come to visit and restock their cabin, instead of showing up and swearing that some jerk broke in, they arrive and say "God Bless, I think I saved somebody's ass." I love that.
