Short Walk To The Edge Of Life

A man’s routine day hike in the backcountry canyons of the beautiful Peruvian Andes Mountain Range suddenly turns into a desperate fight to survive…and an opportunity to learn what really matters in life.

A Short Walk to the Edge of Life chronicles the harrowing and death defying survival story of a combat-decorated veteran who, after embarking on an anticipated daylong trek in the rugged Peruvian Andes, became hopelessly lost for five days. Author Scott Hubbartt managed to survive with no food and little water, while learning the hard way the high price of his arrogance and limitations. A definite, stay-up-late page turner, A Short Walk to the Edge of Life is compelling not only for the story of a near-death walk but also for spiritual insights and life lessons learned. This is an unforgettable story of foolishness, courage, survival, miraculous “coincidences,” and ultimately, a dramatic physical and spiritual rescue.
