    when i was 15 my boy scout troop did desert survival training for two months before tackling one of the most difficult trails in the grand canyon, which required a special permit and meant that there basically wasn't a trail (and four inches of slippery gravel often separated us from a two-mile drop). despite our over-preparation we got lost, ran out of water and some of the boys started hallucinating. after 18 hours of desperately trying to reach the bottom to get to the colorado river we split into two groups. the weakest stayed behind and i and the remaining boys ditched our gear and set off for the river ourselves to filter water and bring it back. after dodging scorpions and stumbling around exhausted in the dark we finally did reach bottom, drank our fill, and managed to signal a passing helicopter while filtering more. a couple hours later it landed nearby and choppered us all out of there. we learned later in a newspaper article about us that two boys had died the week before on the same trail
