A classic read for a really good survival yarn

[Buffalohump]

The 'best' one I have ever read was 'Adrift' by Steven Callahan. The sub-title is 76 Days Lost at Sea, so you get the idea. Amazing story, extremely well written. I also really enjoyed 'Between a Rock and a Hard Place' by Aron Ralston. 'Alive' by Piers Paul Read about the Uruguayan rugby team Andes crash is another inspirational, mind-boggling story.

"The Mysterious Island" is free on Kindle if anyone is interested.

I was thinking it might be one of the free ones. May just download it and read it if I run out of other stuff.

Or this one. Which tell the actual true backstory that inspired the Moby Dick novel. They plan to release a new movie in 2015.

I started reading this book a few days ago and I'm liking it a lot!!
Another wonderful book I'd strongly suggest is: "Uttermost Part of the Earth" Lucas Bridges.
The Bridges family story is beyond survival, it's an epic story about adventure, nature, anthropology, history, religion, society in the most remote part of the world, GREAT!
