  • Summary

  • World-renowned adventurer and broadcaster, Bear Grylls, presents some of the most incredible near-death experiences, told by those who lived to tell the tale. These extraordinary and diverse accounts of human bravery, mental and physical strength - and sometimes sheer luck - range from being stranded for more than 50 days at sea, to surviving world-changing acts of terrorism.

    Bear contextualises each feat of endurance or bravery by relating them to his own experiences of near-misses and misfortune from his military career and survivalist adventures. Listeners will experience the firsthand retelling of acts of quick thinking and gruelling struggles of those who found themselves in some of the most extreme circumstances imaginable.

Intense

Gripping tales and very intense, unnerving. Some stories feel like important details are missing though.

Bear Grylls was just a sound bite

I thought this was going to be like Jocko or Joe Rogan, where Bear Gryll's would talk to the people about their journey. But he just did a cheesy, over done, intro and a terrible round up at the end. He sounded insincere at all times. I was so disappointed as i once thought Bear Grylls was such a gret guy. Felt like he sat in a studio for a day, did some voice overs, and left the rest to a production company.
