00:00What made you want to tell this story? Why did you gravitate to this one?
00:05Well, you ever heard the expression that sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction?
00:12I think this is one of those stories.
00:16It's a story about a confluence of tragic events separated by time and space
00:23intersecting in a seemingly impossible manner.
00:26And somehow something, something incredible came out of all of it.
00:33A young boy suffering from severe asthma, a president's assassination, a horrible accident,
00:41a wagon wheel factory, unrelated events in most people's minds, right?
00:47But they all, they all needed to happen for this story to unfold.
00:51For two men to come together for three days out in the wild.
00:56Three days that would change America forever.
01:01That's a, that's a story worth telling, don't you think?
01:08Now I'm going to turn these lights out because I'm pretty sure I forgot something and I'll get it in
01:14the morning.
01:24Two men embark on a camping trip.
01:33These two men have never met before.
01:37They push through heavy snow, get soaked with rain, and wash down steaks with hot coffee.
01:54They didn't set out to change America.
02:00But what they dreamed up around the campfire.
02:07Some might call it ingenious.
02:12Others might say cunning.
02:17But boy, did it work.
02:18Let's go.
02:19Let's go.
02:19Let's go.
02:27Let's go.
02:46Let's go.
02:52Yosemite National Park, 1200 square miles of soaring cliffs, cascading falls, and endless
03:06groves of sequoias.
03:11The lush valleys are a playground for the 400 species that live here.
