  • Summary

  • Series Summary "Lost in the Wild" chronicles three remarkable modern survival stories of people who vanished into wilderness areas and defied death through extraordinary resilience, ingenuity, and determination. From the frozen Sierra Nevada mountains to the dense Hawaiian rainforest and the desolate Alabama wilderness, these tales reveal how ordinary people discovered extraordinary strength when faced with nature's indifference. Each episode explores not only the physical challenges of survival but also the psychological journey—how the mind copes with extreme isolation, fear, and the fundamental drive to live when all hope seems lost.

    Episode 3: "Naked in the Wilderness" - Lisa Theris's Alabama Survival
    Mar 4 2025
    Episode 3: "Naked in the Wilderness" - Lisa Theris's Alabama Survival Create an evocative image of the Alabama wilderness with its dense woodlands and understory vegetation. Show a vulnerable human figure (representing Theris) partially concealed by foliage, suggesting both her exposure to the elements and her ability to use the environment for shelter. Use a warm, almost oppressive color palette that conveys the summer heat with golden light filtering through trees. Include visual elements that tell parts of her story: perhaps muddy water cupped in hands, wild berries, or makeshift shelter materials. The composition should convey both vulnerability and stubborn resilience, with the human form appearing diminished yet persistent against the overwhelming scale of the wilderness.

    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.

    Episode 1- "Crystal Mountain" - Eric LeMarque's Sierra Nevada Nightmare
    Mar 4 2025
    Episode 1: "Crystal Mountain" - Eric LeMarque's Sierra Nevada Nightmare Summary: Former Olympic hockey player and professional snowboarder Eric LeMarque became lost while snowboarding in the Sierra Nevada mountains during a February 2004 storm. What began as an afternoon of off-trail adventure turned into an 8-day fight for survival at 12,000 feet in sub-zero temperatures. Battling snowstorms, frostbite, and the onset of ketoacidosis from his unmanaged type 1 diabetes, LeMarque used his MP3 player as an improvised compass and survived on pine nuts and tree bark. His eventual rescue and the subsequent amputation of both feet illustrate how even professional athletes can be humbled by wilderness conditions, and how near-death experiences can trigger profound personal transformation and recovery from addiction.
