I just finished a book called "Survive!: My Fight for Life in the High Sierras" and I have to say thanks to Tom J for telling about it. It was a great book and a quick read. It was the true story of Peter DeLeo, a guy that crashed in Golden Trout Wilderness in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California in the winter with two friends. After the crash he had a broken left ankle, broken ribs, a broken shoulder, and a host of other injuries yet he found a way to hike east over the mountains to highway 395 and survive the 13 day trek. This guy is my hero.
