Summary
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.
