In Journeys North, legendary trail angel, thru hiker, and former PCTA board member Barney Scout Mann spins a compelling tale of six hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2007 as they walk from Mexico to Canada.

On January 17, 1913, alone and near starvation, Douglas Mawson, leader of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, was hauling a sledge to get back to base camp - the dogs were gone. Mawson plunged through a snow bridge, dangling over an abyss by the sledge harness. A line of poetry gave him the will to haul himself back to the surface. On February 8, when he staggered back to base, his features unrecognizable, the first teammate to reach him blurted out, "Which one are you?"

On November 23, 1942, German U-Boats torpedoed the British ship Benlomond, and it sank in the Atlantic in two minutes. The sole survivor was a second steward named Poon Lim, who, with no knowledge of the sea, managed to stay alive for 133 days on a small wooden raft.

Einmal mit der Katze um die halbe Welt erzählt die besondere Geschichte von Martin Klauka und seiner Katze Mogli, die ihm während einer Motoradtour im Alter von etwa zwei Monaten halbverhungert zulief und sich ihn als Bezugsperson aussuchte.

Zum Glück fasste Mogli sofort Vertrauen zu diesem metallischen Ungetüm und Martin Klauka konnte sie mit nach Rosenheim bringen. Doch diese Motorradtour war nur der Auftakt für ein noch größeres Abenteuer.

Ален Бомбар (1924-2005)—французский врач и биолог, впервые в мире поставивший рискованный эксперимент по выживанию в океане.

Не моряк, не спасатель и не эксперт по выживанию, Ален Бомбар совершил этот подвиг, стремясь помочь людям, оказавшимся в бедственной ситуации, поверить в свои силы.

This is a book about faith, about adventure, about living with my heart open and letting go of the fear of being myself. In June 2016 I decided to sell my house of 22 years and leave my comfort zone. I had no idea where I would go next, but slowly the Camino de Santiago showed itself and I decided, with no rucksack or hiking experience, to start. In the first part of this story, I left England and flew to Seville and travelled on to Granada, where I stayed first in a treehouse and then a cave…before I picked up my rucksack and headed north on the Camino.
