Summary

"It will never happen to me." That's what most of us think. But all it takes is one wrong step. One careless move. One thing to go wrong. And then, you are in trouble. You are miles-deep into the backcountry. You are severely injured, maybe immobile. What do you do then? In this episode we hear the story from one of you — our listeners. What happened to Steve Wolfe? How did he respond when he found himself immobilized in the mountains? How did such a simple hunt, turn into a serious situation? What can you and I learn from Steve's story? Tune-in and find out. As always, you can learn more about this show and find other episodes at http://ExoMountainGear.com/podcast.

1:06.2	I mean, Stephen thought the same thing.
1:08.0	I think the same thing.
1:09.5	But there's so many lessons in this story for me and you to hear and to maybe make some
