This season of Out Alive is brought to you by Garmin.

Stay tuned until the end of the show where you'll hear this bonus survival story.

And I remember falling backwards and seeing the skyline behind me

and it's all mountains there and just seeing these peaks flipped upside down

because I was tumbling backwards and thinking just how stranger was that was probably the last thing I was ever going to see.

In most of the stories we tell on this podcast, there's one incident, a turning point when the

adventure plunges into horror. We know that a single moment can turn a person's

world upside down.

But that's not always how disaster strikes.

Sometimes, Peril reveals itself slowly,

and the situation unravels with one small decision after another.

Over hours, even days a domino effect ensues until all of a sudden you find yourself far into the danger zone, pinned to a mountain,

wind and snow whipping around you fighting for your life.

I made a decision to survive.

You're in that survival mode.

The idea of dying wasn't in my head.

I knew immediately it was the worst case scenario.

I was in a fight for my life situation.

Whenever you walk out on these trails,

you're in their house.

I'm Louisa albinee's and you're listening

to Out Alive by Backpacker.
