hatchet is a good one.

also another book i found that was good is "hunger games" not really like hatchet but its pretty awesome. a bunch of people sent into the wild and they have to kill each other and the last one alive wins.

Why not go straight to the cream of the crop? Endurance is non-fiction so good that it reads better than fiction! http://www.amazon.com/Endurance-Shackletons-Incredible-Alfred-Lansing/dp/B000BZ9A7S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324189459&sr=8-1

Lynn Hill's Climbing Free is another good read, although more of an historical account. http://www.amazon.com/Climbing-Free-Life-Vertical-World/dp/0393324338/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1324189537&sr=1-1

(kinda similar and didnt think it warranted its own thread)

anyone know of any documentaries similar to the one where the guys explore the nyc underground like old subway stations, and all this cool weird shit down there. forgot the name/link but that shit was cool!
if anyone knows any other similar vids post them plz.
