Haven't seen this one, but based upon your comments and the trailer, it looks like one I would really appreciate, though it seems a bit harrowing, to say the least. Thanks for the recommendation.

Infinite Storm (2022). Naomi Watts gives a strong and credible performance as a veteran climber and rescue worker who finds herself trapped on top of a mountain by a fierce blizzard. Billy Howle is likewise sturdy and convincing as the sullen young man Watts discovers on the mountain. The pair must work together to keep each other alive. Director Malgorzata Szumowska astutely captures both the beauty and danger of nature as well as brings an immersive approach to the subject matter that proves to be harrowingly effective.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

Haven't seen this, but it looks like a good one. I enjoyed
The Wilderness Family
.

Across the Great Divide (1976). Really nice family Western about a con man drifter who helps two orphan kids get through the wilderness so they can claim a family inheritance. Robert Logan is very good as the con man while Heather Rattray and Mark Edward Hall are extremely likeable as the kids. Lots of gorgeous scenery in this sweet charming film. From the same folks who did the Wilderness Family movies.

Yes, I enjoyed both of those. Haven't thought of The Naked Prey in ages. Starring and also directed by Cornel Wilde. I tend to forget that he directed a few films later in his career. Just like Ray Milland did.

The Naked Prey and the 1950 version of King Solomon's Mines are good.

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned.
Coming back en 2026-Viva Venezuela!

Prob said this before, but this did the same for camping that Jaws did for swimming in the ocean. Visceral and absolutely harrowing.
It wants no straps.

Haven't seen this one, woody, and it sounds like it might be a little hard for me to take right now. But thanks for the recommendation. And a true story – wow.

Backcountry (2014). Genuinely harrowing wilderness survivalist thriller about a couple of young backpackers who run afoul of a vicious predatory bear after they get hopelessly lost in the woods. Missy Peregrym and Jeff Roop are excellent and convincing as the young couple in danger while the scenes with the bear are truly terrifying. Based on a true story, too.

Oh, a lovely childhood memory. I even read the book. Thanks for the reminder of this joy – well, mostly joyful anyway.

Yes, what an interesting film and story this one was. Kudos to Witherspoon for producing it. She didn't want to star in it, but had to in order to get it done. But I doubt she regretted that choice.
EDIT:
@glynnpadraic
And for the record for those who don't know, if you look at the credits for this film, it identifies her as a producer beneath Executive producers. Don't let that confuse you. In film, a
producer
is the person who really produces the film hands on and owns it, so to speak;
executive producers
generally raise the money.
In television, however, executive producers are the real producers, the ones who put the whole show together and maintain creative control, while producers are what are known as show runners, handling the day-to-day needs of production,

Wild, starring Reese Witherspoon

Probably the definitive desert film of all time. I think David Lean was second only to John Ford in knowing how to use a landscape to tell a story (and there were times when I even think he did it better).

Great list, muttley. Regrettably, I haven't seen
Aguirre: Wrath of God
yet; keep meaning to, but it has always eluded me.
But I very much appreciate the others.
Lifeboat
is an excellent examination of people under duress, who are trapped together on the open sea. And
Walkabout
's story and Australian outback locations are simply wonderful. It's one of my favorites. And I would have to say, now that you mention it, that
Woman in the Dunes
is, too. I haven't seen that one in decades, but I still remember how beautiful and haunting it was in its unique landscape, with its unique story. Now you've got me wanting to see it again!
EDIT: I've dug up the trailer, and it's so much the way I remember it after all these many years. What a brilliant and haunting film. I really have to watch it again.

I haven't seen this one, but what a cast! I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks.

Hanna (2011)

It's pretty well documented that it was in many ways what we would these days call a docudrama. But I don't think it's fair to call the film a lie because of that. It does document so much of Inuit life at that time, filmed over a year of Flaherty's residence with the people he was shooting. And I know there's a longstanding controversy about the film as a straight documentary, but many later "documentaries" were done much in the same manner. So back to the notion of it being a docudrama, instead of a straight documentary. For me, that does not invalidate the film at all. And I don't know what "iirc" means, so I can't comment on that, sorry.
EDIT: I'm going to adjust my OP to clarify this.

The film. Much of it was staged, iirc.
It wants no straps.

Do you mean what I said, or what the film showed?

Lies. All lies!
It wants no straps.

Oh, this looks amazing! I love films about indigenous peoples, and this looks to be superb, haunting even in the trailer. Can't thank you enough for suggesting it. I must find it and watch it. These subjects are very close to my heart. Thanks again!
One of my all time favorite films set in that particular wilderness is Robert Flaherty's,
Nanook of the North
(1922), considered to be the first documentary (though many consider it to be what we would today call a docudrama, given that some things were staged). Don't know if you've seen it, but I strongly recommend it - the story of the lives of Nanook and his family, Inuits living in the Arctic Circle. Flaherty spent a year living with and filming them.
