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.

Awesome book!

Was a well done book to listen. Love that the stories are told by the people themselves as it gives more depth/feeling to the stories. Even got a few people into it that usual don’t like listening to books, one fella ask to listen from the start of the on a drive back from a job

Well delivered and remarkably thought provoking.

Seems like the Meat Eater studio rarely take a wayward step! Once again delivering an interesting, informative and engaging production. I find myself eagerly awaiting each astonishing story as soon as the previous ends. Can’t wait to dig into the sequel.

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

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.
