How Many Lives Do You Have is the story of the fourth year of a fifteen year adventure that takes place largely in the wilderness areas of the American west. In the summer of 1990 Todd Stuart built a little hut high in the mountains of northern Utah. Buried in snow for almost half the year, he has endured the challenges inherent to the unique lifestyle he chose. He still lives there, he's still alive, and this is his story. Having survived the first three years of his self imposed "exile" into the wilderness, Todd decides to become a backcountry survival guide for troubled teenagers. His adventures in the Escalalnte wilderness with the 'hoods in the woods' are emotional and spiritual in nature, but as real as real gets.

In the summer of 1990, Todd Stuart built a hut high in the mountains of northern Utah. Buried in snow for half the year, he has endured the phenomenal challenges inherent to his choice. His choice required him to ski, bike and hike back and forth six miles to the local ski area where he worked. In order to pay child support on ski patroller wages, it was impossible to live conventionally. Eighteen years later, he still lives there, he's still alive, and this is his story.
