Glenn Gantz: 我在2000年8月独自一人在加拿大北部的弗斯河上进行了一次为期12天的木筏漂流探险。这次探险充满了挑战，包括恶劣的天气和潜在的危险。我顶着从东方吹来的强风，无法向东北方向划到努纳卢克沙嘴的会合点。我发现了一些巨大的熊的足迹，意识到这里有一只北极熊。我被迫在帐篷里待了36个小时，我担心帐篷会被吹走，我一直在想我还能做些什么，如何让它更安全。我只剩下两天的时间到达努纳卢克沙嘴了。如果我不能及时到达，飞行员可能不得不把我留在外面。我没有摄入足够的卡路里，这将在第二天给我带来麻烦。我本应该向东北方向划到会合点，但我无法向东划船。我只能向北和向西移动一点，以避免被完全吹走。 John Hopkins: 这是一个关于普通人在极端情况下为生存而战的故事。格伦·甘茨在加拿大北部偏远地区独自划船本就充满风险，而当他在午夜时分被困在一片狭窄的陆地上，并有北极熊潜伏在黑暗中时，这次冒险就变得更加危险了。他是来自Noiser播客网络的John Hopkins，这里是《真实生存故事》。

Shownotes Transcript

Glen Gantz is a biologist from Utah who likes to take a walk, or a row, on the wild side. In August 2000, he embarks on a never-before-attempted challenge: a 12-day rafting trip down northern Canada’s perilous Firth River… alone. It was always going to be tough, but things take a serious turn when Glen finds himself stranded on a narrow spit of land. He soon realises he isn’t as alone as he thought…

A Noiser production, written by Nicole Edmunds.
