But even those who are thoroughly prepared-who wear their life jacket and scrupulously map their route and scan the skies for impending weather-may still encounter the unexpected. In Last Entry Point, experienced paddler and longtime regional journalist Joe Friedrichs gathers tales that involve tragedy or near-misses, interviewing people who confronted danger and walked away, as well as those whose loved ones died in the midst of wilderness adventure. He talks with search and rescue teams to learn what goes into finding those who go missing or who experience a medical emergency miles from help. And in his explorations he considers what it means to step into the wilderness, to calmly troubleshoot problems as they present themselves, to survive a rapids or extreme weather when others in your party do not, and to be left behind when an adventurer in your life does not return home. 650 0 $a Canoeing $z Boundary Waters Canoe Area (Minn.) 650 0 $a Wilderness survival $z Boundary Waters Canoe Area (Minn.) 650 7 $a SPORTS & RECREATION / Outdoor Skills. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a TRAVEL / Special Interest / Adventure. $2 bisacsh 651 0 $a Boundary Waters Canoe Area (Minn.) 941 $a 1 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20240702032320.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=97ADB760383D11EFA74ADF9234ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
