Moon Angel/Frozen Fiasco

Welcome back to False Summit, where tails, trails, and epic fails keep us climbing.

What follows is a surreal encounter under the stars that blurs the line between fate and coincidence.Then, gear up for Frozen Fiasco, a tale that combines the 80s winter camping vibe with one man’s epic standoff against a blizzard—and his own misjudged freeze-dried meal. A blustery blunder turns messy, but the storm has a frosty fix in store, proving that survival in the cold sometimes means laughing at yourself.After these tales, Em’s “Trail Mix” segment serves up three must-hear songs to fuel your next adventure. Stick around for trail etiquette tips and essentials to pack for your next hike—because even the best-prepared adventurers know there’s always room for an unexpected twist.Hit play, and let’s get lost in stories of near-misses and unplanned rescues.https://americanhiking.org/hiking-resources/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwz7C2BhDkARIsAA_SZKbC9I--LYDQUU14p4jt6RT4_C8uURUSluOeXFCtWO-XiQcuHTyizzsaAvUqEALw_wcB#hiking-101
