My favorite author is Jack London. His style of writingpaints a very vivid picture in my mind. As I read his stories, it feels likeI’m right there in the middle of it. One of his most well-known works is titledTo Build A Fire. This is the opening paragraph of that story. Day had dawned cold and gray when the man turned asidefrom the main Yukon trail. He climbed the high earth-bank where alittle-traveled trail led east through the pine forest. It was a high bank, andhe paused to breathe at the top. He excused the act to himself by looking athis watch. It was nine o’clock in the morning. There was no sun or promise ofsun, although there was not a cloud in the sky. It was a clear day. However,there seemed to be an indescribable darkness over the face of things. That was becausethe sun was absent from the sky. This fact did not worry the man. He was notalarmed by the lack of sun. It had been days since he had seen the sun. There’s something about the quiet, dark, biting cold ofnorthern Canada that really fascinates me. I’ve lived in cold climates, butnothing like that. When the outside temperature gets to be well below zero, theconstant thought is just what you have to do in order to survive. My guest today is David. He and his partner in thisadventure, Scott, dreamed of spending time in those conditions. But what theyencountered just in the first few days had them - from one hour to the next –wondering, what else could go wrong? Video of David and Scott returning to cabin site in 2014:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YHloQli_Gs Website about David and Scott's experience:https://paradisecreekcabin.com David’s book, Paradise Creek: A True Story of Adventureand Survival – https://www.amazon.com/Paradise-Creek-Adventure-Canadian-Wilderness-ebook/dp/B08KTXZ4S6/ref=sr_1_1 David’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidrscott/ Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here:https://WhatWasThatLike.com/225 Scott’s podcast:  https://notrealart.com/  Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.
