Hiker Hell blog

July 18th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Great entertainment at the campsite is sharing “hiking disaster” stories.

A new blog — inspired by Touching the Void — documents them.


This blog is about learning from other people’s mistakes, so you don’t make the same ones.


Some sample posts:

  • Man Spends Night with Bears in American Fork Canyon
  • Camp Fire Burns Man
  • 3 Hikers Struck By Lightning in Rocky Mountain NP
  • Man Bit Twice By Gila Monster in Arizona

    I’ll send in my own worst hiking experience: lost and hypothermic in the Andes

      You Andes excursion as well as breaking the “don’t drop your pack” rule also breaks the “don’t explore late in the day” rule, which seems to get a lot of people into trouble.
