I did read the Endurance book. Amazing stuff. I have the book here about the River of Doubt, that almost killed Theodore Roosevelt, and have to get to it soon.
If you like survival stories, read up about Captain Bly, after he was forced into a longboat with a few loyal guys after the Bounty mutiny. He may have had a lot of issues, but Lt. Bly was a top rate sailor, and his voyage in that little longboat is epic stuff.

It was on Newsnught Review on friday(in the UK). Some woman said she didn't side with him at all, but i don't suppose anybody expected her to. It's quite a dramatisation apparently.

Ive read several of these great books,but for the life of me I cant fathom why anyone would go up everest. Shoot there arent any deer let alone birds up at the top,just thin air and lots of punishing cold. I just finished Gary Paulsens Hatchet,got it from my daughter(its a scholastic) About a 13yr old boy plane wrecked and alone in the canadian wildernees with only a hatchet his mother had just gave him. Ireally liked it. Auggie.
