I have the current Popular Mechanics magazine and the survival stories are nothing short of stunningly amazing. Especially the story of the downed pilot in Alaska who suffered terrible burns all over his body and still managed (with his shoes almost melted away) to walk 20 miles in Alaska's October weather to safety. This is truly a story of a will to survive against almost impossible odds of not only the walk but the aftermath of the burn treatments also.

This edition (April) of Popular Mechanics is worth spending the money on for these survival stories alone.
