About this book
A horse bolts into the Yellowstone forest carrying nearly all of Truman Everts's supplies, turning a sightseeing expedition into a struggle to stay alive. Writing in the first person, Everts recalls how he became separated from his companions among dense pines and fallen timber. His early certainty that he would find their camp gives way to hunger, sleepless nights and the realization that he has lost his bearings.
The account follows the small practical decisions that now matter most: searching for traces of the party, protecting his feet, keeping a fire and finding something useful in an abandoned camp. A discarded fork becomes a tool for digging roots, while a small can serves as a cup and cooking pot. Alongside these details are views of lakes, hot springs and wildlife, and reflections on hope under pressure.
