In the heart of Mount Hood National Forest, Pamela Salant and her boyfriend, Aric Essig, embarked on a routine camping trip that would turn into a harrowing tale of survival. Lost in dense woods after a simple argument, Pamela faced daunting cliffs, severe injuries, and the chilling isolation of wilderness. Her incredible journey tested her limits and revealed the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit.
