Ep. 249: Begging and Pleading Redux

Context:

Referenced as an example from 1907 of a novel depicting someone sucking scorpion venom from a baby, used to illustrate common but incorrect survival tropes found in literature and media.

Context:

Steve references McPhee's trilogy on geology, specifically quoting that 'if I could sum up this book in one sentence, it would be that the top of Mount Everest is made from marine limestone.' He uses this as an analogy for summarizing their own survival book, saying if he had to sum it up in one sentence, it would be 'get OnX and InReach.'
