The Rattlesnake Bite That Changed Everything
b'When we head into wild places, we accept a certain amount of risk. Often, we don\\u2019t think much about it, because we\\u2019re excited to be in an extraordinary place. But then something happens, and we are forced to reckon with the potential costs of our quest for adventure. So it went for Kyle Dickman, whose life had been defined by a strong exploratory spirit until he was bitten by a rattlesnake in a remote section of Yosemite National Park during a trip with his wife and infant son. In this harrowing episode from our archives, Dickman recounts his desperate survival tale and the lingering questions he struggled with in the aftermath.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nThis episode is brought to you by Stillhouse, the official spirit of adventure.
