About this listen

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.

    Lance Corporal Wayne Sharrocks was on patrol in Afghanistan in 2011 when, just a few paces in front, a soldier stepped on a pressure activated improvised bomb. Despite being thrown to the ground by the force of the deafening explosion both men miraculously survived.

I am not a fan of Bear Grylls at all but these stories are really good.
They were exciting, harrowing and at times heartbreaking stories told by those who had lived them and for that I am appreciative.

Dont like Bear but loved this series

A classic well chosen selection of stories, that put you in the front seat of these all too real accounts of some of the most enduring moments humans have been placed in... each story could easily be a movie in its own right...
