Tyler Johnson was hunting black bear with his father in the Montana wilderness when, without warning, a grizzly charged out of nowhere and began to maul him. With seconds to react, Tyler managed to draw his pistol and fire multiple rounds into the bear as it attacked. His father—an experienced game warden who raised Tyler in Alaska’s wilderness—also fired, ultimately killing the bear. Tyler survived, badly wounded.What happened next is what most people recognize: Tyler pulled out his phone and filmed the aftermath. That raw footage went viral, spreading across the internet as one of the most intense bear attack videos ever recorded. In this episode, Tyler tells the full story—what led up to the attack, what it felt like in the moment, the decisions that saved his life, and what people don’t see in the viral clip. This is a firsthand account of survival, training, instinct, and the reality of bear country.

Four survivors. Four stories that defy logic. In this marathon episode, we revisit some of the most intense and unbelievable interviews we’ve ever recorded.

You’ll hear from Courtney Henderson, who fell nearly 50 feet down a mountainside with her friend Gavin Caruso — a fall Gavin didn’t survive. Courtney’s 911 call still stands as one of the most chilling ever recorded.

Then, we sit down with Jeremy Evans, who survived what many call one of the worst grizzly bear attacks in history. Mauled three times by the same bear, Jeremy’s fight to stay alive in the Canadian wilderness feels almost impossible.

Next, we revisit the story of Karen Klein, who became stranded in the Grand Canyon with her husband and young son. With no food, no shelter, and no way out, she made a desperate decision: leave her family behind and set out alone to find help.

And finally, you’ll hear from Minko Nikolov, who was struck by lightning while hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park — and somehow lived to tell the story.

If you only listen to one episode today… make it this one.

When adventurer Eric Hanson set out to canyoneer with his brother, he expected a challenge— not a life-threatening flash flood. With his GoPro rolling, the canyon exploded into chaos as water surged through the narrow walls, leaving almost no escape route. In this episode, Eric relives the moment everything changed, what he learned, and how close they came to never making it out.

In this episode, I sit down with Keri Bergere, a cyclist who survived a shocking and brutal cougar attack while riding mountain bikes with friends. Her story is one of instinct, terror, and unimaginable strength — and the bond between the women who fought back against a predator determined to kill.

What began as a dream honeymoon in Montana became a nightmare. While out hiking alone, Army veteran Shayne Burke was suddenly attacked and mauled by a grizzly bear—dragged, bitten, and fighting for his life while his wife waited miles away, unaware of what was happening. In this episode, Shayne walks us through every second of the ambush, the instinct, the injuries, and the moment he realized he might not make it back.

Tami Ennis thought she was heading out for a simple ocean adventure—but within hours, her life became a nightmare. After a sudden shipwreck left her and others stranded in open water, Tami was forced to witness the unthinkable: her friend being attacked and killed by sharks right in front of her. With no food, no land in sight, and no guarantee she’d survive, she relied on sheer will, instinct, and faith to stay alive. This episode is a raw, detailed look at trauma, survival, and what the human body and mind can endure when there’s no other choice. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.

Most people think otters are harmless and playful. But for three friends floating a quiet Montana river, everything changed in seconds. What started as an ordinary summer afternoon became a violent attack no one saw coming. In this episode, they walk us through those terrifying moments, the fight to get out alive, and the long recovery that followed.

His face clawed and arm ripped open. Bob Legasa was ambushed by a 500 pound grizzly. Thank God his friend was there to stop the attack. Here is the amazing story.

Minko Nikolov was hiking out to a rock climbing wall in the mountains when a storm rolled in. He was struck by lightning and it traveled from his shoulder out of his foot. He was almost blown apart. This is his incredible story.

Karen Klein had to abandon her entire family that was stranded and stuck in a vehicle in a snowstorm in the Grand Canyon. She hiked 26 miles to find Help and almost died doing it.

Courtney Henderson and her best friend Gavin were on a day hike in Colorado when the trail disappeared. They found themselves on the side of a cliff in a storm that was pushing them off the mountain. After calling 911 for help (luckily they had signal) the dispatcher told them to get lower on the mountain in order for help to find them easier. That's when they both fell 50' into a canyon. "I bounced like a tennis ball" is how Courtney describes it. You won't believe what happened next as this story takes a turn for the worst.

Adventurer Jeremy Evans of Calgary Canada was hunting sheep deep in the mountains when a mother grizzly bear ambushed him trying to protect her hub. He spent 30 grueling minutes fighting off the bear as it ripped his face and head apart.
