## Review Date #note/sourcereview/book | #source/book📚/fiction | #source/book📚/ingested ## What is the story A father and son are hiking the Presidential Traverse when some type of emergency happens causing mayhem and loss of power, internet, communications and they decide to over-winter alone in Madison Hut. The father and son struggle against the harshness of the winter, the solitude and the uncertainty. ## What else do I wonder about? The book was only moderately well written but a very good story. The places were familiar and I could relate _so_ deeply to the idea that things are falling apart and you're disconnected from the rest of the world. This is how I felt hiking the [[100 mile wilderness]] in August of 2020, with the presidential election looming and tension being high, COVID-19 raging, etc. ## Action I don't think I need to take any action based on this book, but it makes me want to: Plan another week-long hike ## When do I want to stumble across this? #on/relationships | #on/hiking | #on/solitude | #on/survival ## Source: O’Donnell, M.
