About this listen

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.

Campfire Stories: Close Calls features tales from MeatEater crew members Steven Rinella • Janis Putelis • Brody Henderson • Garret Smith • Seth Morris • Maggie Smith and Edbo Genet • with additional stories by Andy Bergin • Buck Bowden • Chad Converse • Jerry Dunlop • Greg Fonts • Jake Grzyb • Sam Lawry • Greg Litzinger • Joe and Joey Nowicki • Alex Reynaud • Thad Robison • Bobbie Scopa • and Avery Shawler.

Great Stories

As an outdoor enthusiast, hiker, hunter, fisherman and lover of all things out of doors, this was absolutely 5 stars. This book has everything you would like. Some of, or if not all of the stories here I really wonder how are your guys girls not dead?!? This book should be called "I Should Be Dead". I am so glad that they are not, though these are great tails of survival and sheer will power to stay alive. Blown away. Great Job Meateater!

MeatEater does it again

A great series of exciting, tense and thought provoking stories involving the outdoors! It involves people who are both experts and weekend warriors, and their trials and tribulations in the great outdoors. Really solid story telling. 10/10

Outstanding

Steve and his crew at Meateater have done it again. This book is a roller coster of feelings. some of these stories you can relate to more than you know. I've told everyone I know about this book and can not wait for the next one.
