The Wildest Survival Stories of All Time

Incredible Tales of Wilderness Survival from the Outdoor Life Archive

De: Alex Robinson

Narrado por: Mat Mangum

This anthology of survival stories covers the craziest and most enthralling wilderness encounters in American history. After mining our 126-year archive, we uncovered 10 tales of adventure and near tragedy that include close calls with aggressive grizzly bears, epic blizzards, hungry wolves, and much more. The thread that ties all of these narratives together is the authors’ grit and will to preserve — and then tell the tale.

Tense adventure with nice follow up

This is a fun book full of tense adventure. It is a grouping of stories told by survivers. How they each get through their own story is pretty inspiring.

Then, the way the survival stories are told and then reviewed with the surviver afterwards is pretty cool. It's nice to have that follow up.
