<ul class="summary-list"><li>A rescued hiker who died after he was lost overnight in Mount Rainier National Park has been brought back to life with help from his medical team, <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/he-came-back-from-the-dead-mount-rainier-missing-hiker-starts-to-recover-after-getting-rescued-amid-whiteout-conditions/">the Seattle Times reported.</a></li><li>Michael Knapinski, of Woodinville, died in the emergency room at a <keyword id="64863" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Seattle">Seattle</keyword> hospital after being airlifted off the mountain last Sunday. </li><li>The medical team performed hooked him up to an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine, which pumped blood out of his body into a heart-lung machine that removed carbon dioxide and then pumped it back into his body.</li><li>Knapinski's heart had stopped working for 45 minutes, however, two days after he was brought into the hospital, the hiker woke up and is expected to make a full recovery.</li><li>The 45-year-old remembers very little about what happened on the day of his accident but says: "I think I fell" while attempting to snowshoe to an area on the south slope of the mountain.</li></ul>A hiker who spent the night lost in Mount Rainier National Park came "back from the dead" after his heart stopped for 45 minutes following his rescue.Michael Knapinski, 45, from Woodinville was airlifted to the Harborview Medical Center in Seattle on November 8 after he was found unconscious in a river drainage basin on the edge of the mountain, <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/he-came-back-from-the-dead-mount-rainier-missing-hiker-starts-to-recover-after-getting-rescued-amid-whiteout-conditions/">the Seattle Times reported.</a>Although he arrived with a pulse, Knapinski went into cardiac arrest shortly after and died while in the emergency room.Dr. Kenelle Badulak, who was one of the first to start treating him, told the Times that Knapinski died while he was in the ER. Doctors had "the unique opportunity to try and save his life by basically bypassing his heart and lungs, which is the most advanced form of artificial life support that we have in the world," he said.The medical team hooked him up to an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine. It pumped blood out of his body into a heart-lung machine that removed carbon dioxide from the blood and then pumped it back into his body.While doctors were working on him, Knapinski's heart stopped beating for 45 minutes.After the medical team managed to stabilize Knapinski, he woke up two days later, in what the medical team has called a miracle. Trauma nurse Whitney Holen, who was at the hiker's bedside when he first opened his eyes, described the moment as one of her career highlights.Holen told the Times that the first thing Knapinski wanted to do was to call his family."He was crying and they were crying, and I'm fairly sure I cried a little bit," Holen said, according to the Times. "It was just really special to see someone that we had worked so hard on from start to finish to then wake up that dramatically and that impressively."Knapinksi went on a snowy hike with a friend on the morning of Saturday, November 7, and had planned to snowshoe to Paradise, an area on the south slope of Mount Rainier.His friend wanted to continue on skis to Camp Muir, before heading back to the Paradise parking lot, where the two arranged to meet. <div type="image" title="mount rainier" height="568" width="1137" msid="79236210" hostid="261"></div>When Knapinski didn't make it back to the parking lot by the evening, his friend reported him missing.Three National Park Service teams set off searching for Knapinski through the night, although winter conditions and temperatures that dropped to -8 degrees Celcius made it difficult. Helicopters finally found an unconscious Knapinski in the Nisqually River drainage, about a mile upstream from the Glacier Bridge, the park said. Knapinski told the Times said the last thing he remembers is taking baby steps down the mountain. "I'm not sure what happened. I think I fell," he said, noting bruises and scrapes all over his body.He also said the last thing he remembers is taking baby steps down the mountain. "I'm not sure what happened. I think I fell," he said, noting bruises and scrapes all over his body.Even though Knapinski still has some medical issues — his skin was burned from frostbite and his heart is still struggling to circulate blood — the medical team at the hospital believes he will make a full recovery."He came back from the dead. … Maybe not medically quite correct, but his heart wasn't beating for more than 45 minutes," Dr. Saman Arbabi, the medical director of Harborview's surgical intensive-care unit, told the Times. "It's amazing."Mt.

I've always been a staunch member of the tent-and-boots brigade because I love the convenience of having everything on my back and the freedom to sleep wherever I want whenever I want. But there's definitely the added stress of finding a flat-enough campsite before my wife and I set out on our (almost) monthly camping trips so we don't have to sleep in our car or deal with the frustration of trying to pitch our tent as the wind does its best to turn it into a kite. Neither of us like waking up to the delightful sensation of a rapidly deflating air mattress at 3 a.m. either.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-tents-camping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The best tents for car camping</a><a href="http://www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&amp;merchant_id=b5770911-39dc-46ac-ba0f-b49dbb30c5c7&amp;website_id=9597bdee-ce2a-4552-aa13-419b5f275c06&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.backcountry.com%2Fyakima-skyrise-hd-tent-4-person-4-season&amp;ctc=biip_032519_yakima-skyrise-hd-tent-product-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">YakimaThe Yakima Skyrise HD Tent is great for solo campers as well as couples and small families.</div></div></div></a>That's why I almost caught myself looking for a little RV trailer to solve all these problems. Except that I really like taking the fly sheet off to look for shooting stars as I fall asleep or waking up with the morning light and feeling like I'm outside and in touch with the place I'm staying. I wouldn't get those experiences in an RV.Some judicious Googling and a trip to the Outdoor Retailer trade show revealed an option that would give me the sense of being outdoors but with the additional convenience and comfort of an RV - a rooftop tent.My wife works in a building with a low-clearance garage so we needed a low-profile unit that wouldn't add a lot to the height of our car. I also wanted something that was light enough for us to lift on top of the truck without having to summon our burliest friends and quick to set up. The <a href="http://www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&amp;merchant_id=b5770911-39dc-46ac-ba0f-b49dbb30c5c7&amp;website_id=9597bdee-ce2a-4552-aa13-419b5f275c06&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.backcountry.com%2Fyakima-skyrise-hd-tent-4-person-4-season&amp;ctc=biip_032519_yakima-skyrise-hd-tent-product-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yakima Skyrise HD Tent</a> checked all the boxes. <div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><a href="http://www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&amp;merchant_id=b5770911-39dc-46ac-ba0f-b49dbb30c5c7&amp;website_id=9597bdee-ce2a-4552-aa13-419b5f275c06&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.backcountry.com%2Fyakima-skyrise-hd-tent-4-person-4-season&amp;ctc=biip_032519_yakima-skyrise-hd-tent-product-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a>YakimaThe tent is easy to assemble and the sturdy frame holds up to 600 pounds.</div></div></div>It weighs 114 pounds so it's light enough for two people to lift up and for even the most compact of cars to hold. All we had to do was attach Yakima's crossbars to the ones on our own truck and lock it in place. The tent mounts on virtually any crossbar without needing any special tools, so if you already have a bike rack or rooftop box, you should be good to go. The fact that it locks onto our car's crossbars to prevent theft is really nice when it gets left at a trail head for days at a time. We can also take the whole thing off and store it in our garage where it takes up just a fraction of the space compared to an RV. The unit includes a ladder that helps distribute weight along with the car's crossbars so you're not crushing the roof, and it has a foam mattress so you can pack less. My wife and I can sleep comfortably in our Skyrise HD and there's still enough space for kids, dogs, extra bags, or the inevitable curious visitor who wants to come and check out or tent every time we're at a campsite. The tent itself pitches in less than five minutes using the included poles to secure the waterproof fly sheet. The huge mesh windows make us feel like we're sleeping outside and let us take full advantage of the amazing views when we're seven feet above the ground in the flat desert.

Ultimately, the reason we all buy outdoor gear is to have cool experiences and this tent has allowed me to have more fun. I'm about to embark on a road trip to Northern California and normally, I would stay in motels unless there was somewhere nice to camp. But with the Skyrise, I can pull off anywhere and sleep on the comfortable mattress for free. It has also opened the door to adventures that my wife and I wouldn't consider otherwise like summiting a peak in a day or cycling 14 hours to Mt. Whitney from Death Valley. Now that I don't have the added stress of mapping out the logistics, I can put my time and energy into actually enjoying my adventures and spending weekends literally looking down on my friends who are still too snooty to embrace the rooftop tent life.<h3><a href="http://www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&amp;merchant_id=b5770911-39dc-46ac-ba0f-b49dbb30c5c7&amp;website_id=9597bdee-ce2a-4552-aa13-419b5f275c06&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.backcountry.com%2Fyakima-skyrise-hd-tent-4-person-4-season&amp;ctc=biip_032519_yakima-skyrise-hd-tent-product-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Buy the Yakima Syrise HD Tent for $2,199 at Backcountry</a></h3> <a href="http://e.businessinsider.com/join/ci/insider-picks">Subscribe to our newsletter.</a> Find all the best offers at our <a href="https://coupons.businessinsider.com/">Coupons page</a>.

This $2,000 tent lets you camp outside without sleeping on the ground - it's pricey, but it's a lot cheaper than buying an RV

<div class="image-container full click-to-enlarge"><div class="image"><a title_source="REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson" title_caption="" class="zoomin" href="http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/51f9403b6bb3f78305000001-960/carlos-sa-badwater-running.jpg"></a>REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson</div></div>The Badwater Ultramarathon follows a 135-mile route through California, from the bottom of Death Valley to the Sierra Nevadas.
Runners start on Badwater Road — a two-lane road tucked into eastern edge of the valley — and head north.
They run along the bed of the valley for 40 miles before curling west, where they face three mountain ascents and a 95-mile, 18-hour trip to Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the contiguous United States.
Carlos Sá began his race at 10 a.m. on the morning of July 15.
In the hottest place on Earth, a heat wave struck. During the six hours it took him to reach the last checkpoint in the deep basin of Death Valley (named, perfectly, "Furnace Creek"), temperatures reached 109 degrees and the strongest desert wind gusts blew at 32 miles per hour.
<div class="image-container float_right click-to-enlarge"><div class="image"><a title_source="REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson" title_caption="" class="zoomin" href="http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/51f9406decad041a6c000009-960/carlos-sa-death-valley-ultramarathon.jpg"></a>REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson</div></div>Mile 31 — in the thick of the heat and wind of the valley, but still early in the race — was the hardest of them all, Sá says.
He has preferences when it comes to distance <keyword id="32311" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="running">running</keyword>. Although he once ran an ultramarathon through the Sahara, extreme temperatures don't do much for him. 
He says he likes mountain running the most.
"The distances and the mountain, the unevenness of the ground, or the boldness of always going further is what appeals to me in these distances," he says.
In the end, it took him 24 hours and 38 minutes to reach the finish line, fast enough to win the race by a full 15 minutes.
Here's the route:
<div class="image-container click-to-enlarge"><div class="image"><a title_source="Google Maps" title_caption="" class="zoomin" href="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/51f93f176bb3f7ad7d00000e-960/badwater-ultramarathon-2013-map.jpg"></a><a href="https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;t=h&amp;oe=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=108172678482097318116.00048af940fafbcf68e32">Google Maps</a></div></div>
Running 135 miles non-stop through desert and mountains in under 25 hours is an unfathomable feat. You can understand what it's like to run two miles, five miles, ten miles, maybe even 24 miles. But 30 miles? 88 miles? 105 miles, with 30 miles to go?
There is no unifying theory of what makes people become ultramarathoners. The reasons are individual.
Sá, remarkably, started running for the same reason millions of people start running — to get in shape.
Seven years ago, at age 32, Sá weighed 211 pounds and admits he smoked two packs of cigarettes a day. He used to worked in the textile industry before the factories of northern Portugal closed, and then spent some time as a window washer.
That year he decided to, in his words, turn his life around. He always ran as a kid, so he picked it back up as an adult.
"I started running again to feel better, physically, and also to find a new path in my life, a healthier one," he said. "But I got so passionate that I decided then to start testing my limits, and that is my goal, to see how far can I go with quality."
Here is a picture of him then:
<div class="image-container click-to-enlarge"><div class="image"><a title_source="Courtesy of Carlos Sa" title_caption="" class="zoomin" href="http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/51f940d2ecad04db6700001b-960/carlos-sa-son.jpg"></a>Courtesy of Carlos Sa</div></div>
And here he is now, 66 pounds lighter and a world-class athlete:
<div class="image-container click-to-enlarge"><div class="image"><a title_source="David McNew/Getty Images" title_caption="" class="zoomin" href="http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/51f94122ecad04c667000014-960/carlos-sa-badwater-gold-medal.jpg"></a>David McNew/Getty Images</div></div>

Today Sá is 39-years old and lives in Bacerlos, Portugal with his wife and two young children. He is a professional ultramarathon runner with a handful of sponsorships, most notably Berg Outdoor.
Everyone starts running to change themselves, to lose a few pounds or to have a more active lifestyle or because they were inspired by a magazine. The choice to start running is the choice to change, at least in some small way.
Sá took that to the extreme. He made the choice to see how much he could run, and changed the trajectory of his life in the process.
He has never run a road marathon, and doesn't plan to. He is only interested in distances and mountains, in seeing exactly how far he can go.
"I see all races through me," he says, "as something I do to challenge myself and go even further."
