  • Episode 2: "17 Days in Paradise" - Amanda Eller's Hawaiian Forest Ordeal Summary: In May 2019, 35-year-old yoga instructor and physical therapist Amanda Eller set out for what should have been a brief hike in Maui's Makawao Forest Reserve. After taking a rest and becoming disoriented, she embarked on a harrowing 17-day struggle for survival in Hawaii's dense jungle. Despite injuries, exposure, and dwindling hope from search teams, Eller survived by finding water in streams and eating wild berries and moths. Her rescue by helicopter after being spotted in a ravine captured international attention and raised questions about wilderness preparation and the psychological aspects of survival. Her story reveals how mindfulness practices can become literal survival tools when facing extreme circumstances.
