Publisher's Summary

Gather around for campfire stories with the MeatEater crew as they share 16 harrowing true tales of survival, grit, and misfortune in the great outdoors - an immersive audio experience from the host of the long-running Netflix series and top-ranked wilderness podcast.  

In Campfire Stories: Close Calls, Steven Rinella invites seasoned hunters, anglers, adventurers, and outdoor professionals to share their tales of perilous adventures in the natural world, from run-ins with black bears and grizzlies to bad falls and severe hypothermia.

With humor and heart, the storytellers describe how they survived disastrous encounters with weather, wildlife - and even a criminal cartel. Whether set in urban forests or atop remote Alaskan peaks, the tales in Campfire Stories: Close Calls are rich with lessons on how to stay safe in nature, delivered in a conversational tone that conjures the feeling of sitting around a campfire sharing adventure stories with friends.

Collection of heartfelt & heart wrenching stories

Incredible stories of close calls and survivals, tear jerking and thought provoking listen. The most authentic stories that truly make you take a step back and enjoy every second of every moment.
Life can turn on a dime.

Some sound effects might rarely have sounded a little tacky, but for the most part they added tremendously to the atmosphere of the stories.

10/10

Gripping, emotional and immersive

The tales recounted in this immersive compilement of true events both detail otherworldly experiences of life and death and near misses too uncanny to have not been thought up by the almighty.
The characters introduced along the way are quite ordinary people with extraordinary tales to tell, sit back and enjoy these riveting events told by those who have lived them in intimate detail.

As an outdoor lover, hunter, fisherman and gross digester of any works with the label 'Meat Eater' attached to it, this comes highly reccomended by myself.

10/10 from the crew.

Regards, Rhys.

Excellent listen

Some interesting stories emotionally told by those who experienced them. Rinella tells one story and comments after others have told their short stories. Very easy listen. If you enjoy Rinella’s tv show or podcast you’ll love this.
