Early on in his life, Matt craved a return to nature. When he became an adult, he set aside his comfortable urban life and lived entirely off the land. In this riveting narrative that brings together epic adventure and spiritual quest, he shows us what extraordinary things the human body is capable of when pushed to its limits. He learns the secrets of the Tarahumara Indians, which help him run the 1,600-mile Pacific Crest Trail in just 58 days and endure temperature swings of 100 degrees. He takes us with him as he treks into the wilderness to live alone for half a year, armed with nothing but a loincloth, a pair of sandals, a stone knife, and chia seeds. He recounts near-death experiences of hiking alone through the snowdrifts at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Above all, Epic Survival is a book about growing closer to the land that nurtures us. No matter how far our modern society takes us from the wilderness, the call remains.

Matt Graham should write volumes of books on his experiences and philosophies. His knowledge is so important for the world and our Earth. I hope he puts more out there soon

Challenges my heart to live in nature in pure and raw form. To sleep on a bed of needles without getting the feeling of the crawlies, to rest into the reality of the present, and to expand awareness that can only be found in the outside causes the outside to become your inside and your inside your outside.

Philosophy of living on the land

I loved this story and hope Matt makes additional books. It makes one think a lot about how what we give up with modern technology and the modern lifestyle.

Amazing story and a great read

I enjoyed Matt's thought process and his evolution to know himself. His life story motivates me to grow in self awareness by joining my reflection of myself with the land.

A true self awakening story.

What did you like best about this story?

It gave a good insight into the development and life of Matt Graham. I had no idea what an accomplished man he is.

Have you listened to any of Tom Perkins’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Don't know.

Listened to whole thing while hunting and while cutting wood in the forrest. Paused it a few times to take things in. i live in the middle of woods (in a house). Going to start to venture farther and longer after reading this.

Matt Graham is a freak of nature: 25 mile daily jog in sandals (or barefoot). Sometimes barefoot. Sometimes 100 miles! I would be skeptical of some of the things he says, but you have to acknowledge that he does it! So he has credibility. I've seen him on several survival shows and he knows his stuff! The part I loved the most was him just going out into the wilderness and living off the land. No money, no family, no commitments.

Incredible!

Although not a John Muir’s creation this is a great book for those who are interested in dabbling in aboriginal outdoor skills and generally looking for a book that brings love of simplicity and living in and with nature.
Better narration could help to elevate this book to next level. At the times narrator feels bored with material in front of him.
Overall this book deserves to be purchased and saved on my bookshelf

Better Narration could elevate this boot
