About the show
Edge-of-your-seat survival stories, as told by adventurer and dogsledder Blair Braverman.
How did Ada Blackjack endure a brutal Arctic winter alone? Why did one shipwreck crew work together to survive, while another crew–on the same island–hunted each other for food? What can we learn from survivors about getting through the impossible–in the wilderness, and in our own lives?
New stories every other week!
