Hi All, I have started a new project called Humans of Kristiansand (Norway - where I now live) based on the concept by Brandon Stanton's Humans of New York. I really get into doing something that I think is worthwhile, informative and something a little different. So, sorry to promote it here, but I...

Here is an interesting story of survival. Was in the news today: If Marco Lavoie had not been rescued when he was, the Quebec man probably would have perished within 48 hours. He was hypothermic, dehydrated and near starvation in the unforgiving cold of northwestern Quebec when police rescued him We...

Fredmerlin, thanks for spotting the error. Fixed now.
Cheers, Adam

Hi Steve,
Sorry I didn't see your post about the New Yorker in the forum until now.

Hopefully we get some more members and papers for the site!

Cheers, Adam

Cheers, Adam

The other day when I was snow skiing with my boys I thought about Chris and that it is such a pity he didn't get to share that exper...

After the interesting paper by Ron Hamilton, the documentary by Ron Lamothe and of course Krakaeur's Book, thought this category should be created.....

I have been involved in this story for a long time now. What I tend to think about is kids when Chris pops into my head. All I can say is that if you have kids, respect them. What I mean by respect is that they will remember EVERYTHING you say to them. If you tell them off or give a compliment to th...

Hi All,

Here you can read a great article written by Ron Hamilton.
It is a qualified theory on how Chris died in Alaska.
