He Should Have Died: How a Dry-Erase Board Saved Him

Cold water, no signal, and a dry-erase board that floated four miles overnight with a four-word message: someone was alive - and it said where. The river ran six inches above flood stage, water temperatures sat at 44°F, and Neil Padgett had been missing for two days - so how did a scrap of board become the single clue that changed everything?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from Neil Padgett’s April 15, 2011 launch down the Ander River through the moments that forced him to choose between waiting for rescue or navigating a roadless corridor on his own. We cover the river conditions, his actions after the canoe flipped, and the discovery that redirected the search - but how did that board travel four miles and who read its message first?
