This week's episode Tanner talks about two incredibly strong, separate individuals that were lost in the wilderness and found their way out.
The first story is that of Vicki Atkins, 58 year old Native American from the Yakama Nation, Washington vanished August 3rd, 2024 while picking huckleberries in Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington State.
The second story is that of Bing Olbum, 89 year old white male that traveled into the Salmon-Challis National Forest in Idaho with five days of supply and didn't exit the forest at his pre-determined time and date.
Truly incredible stories, we hope you enjoy this week's episode!
