Outdoor Survival

Author Jeff Spevak was confronted with a dilemma: How do you tell the story of a man who can’t bring himself to talk about the most epic moment of his life? A clever fellow who’d scrapped to survive in a fashion that seems quaint today, Coleman tested himself as a teenager by swimming across lakes, building homes from foraged lumber, and running a navy carpentry shop as though he were a member of the scamming crew of McHale’s Navy. He was a self-taught sailor who’d become a legend on Lake Ontario. At age 96, Ernie was still sailing.

The unconditional will to live and to continue to be - this obvious basic need forms the basis of all human life. As with all mammals, the survival instinct is innate in humans. We always strive to preserve our health and our lives, have a great need for security and protection and are constantly on the lookout to avoid danger. The survival instinct is also called "self-preservation instinct" and it arises from a combination of innate behaviour, learned reactions, and conscious decisions.

Most of us that grew up with an outdoor family have been hiking, motor cross, snowmobiling and camping. I have had the luxury of doing all of it. I used to love camping. Of course, as life goes on, we buy the luxuries of camping, even a bed off the ground. That's not camping but a hotel stay, but we still do it. Anyone who extremes hiking or camping has encountered a moment with an animal you cannot trust. I have encountered a cougar in the Appellation Mountains in North Carolina.

"Bis zur Grenze gefordert können wir alle mehr, als wir wollen." Reinhold Messner hat seine Grenzen immer wieder gesucht:

Von seiner ersten Besteigung eines 3000ers als Fünfjähriger bis zur Durchquerung der Wüste Gobi mit 60 Jahren. Seine Fülle an Erfahrungen, sein Ausreizen menschlicher Leidens- und Leistungsfähigkeit, seine ehrliche Anteilnahme am Leben der Bergvölker und schließlich auch sein soziales und politisches Engagement zeichnen diesen sehr persönlichen Bericht aus.

Der Nanga Parbat liegt im Himalaja-Massiv. Er ist der neunthöchste Berg der Erde, seine Steilwand an der Südseite mit 4500 Metern die höchste Fels- und Eiswand der Welt. Reinhold Messner bezeichnet ihn als seinen Schicksalsberg, da er an ihm 1970 seinen Bruder Günther bei einer gemeinsamen Tour verlor. Er berichtet von seiner vergeblichen Suche nach dem Bruder, von den grauenvollen Stunden der Verzweiflung und zunehmender physischer Erschöpfung.

Welchen Reiz bieten Herausforderungen? Was bedeutet es, Grenzen zu überwinden? In seinem Vortrag "Passion for Limits" erklärt Reinhold Messner den inneren Antrieb des Menschen anhand von einigen ausgewählten Extremerfahrungen. Beispiele wie seine Bezwingung des Mount Everest ohne Sauerstoffmaske oder der Alleinbesteigung des Nanga Parbat dienen zu Erläuterung seiner Motivation.
