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.

Roller coaster ride of emotions and captivating!
I loved the idea of listening to people share their dances with death. Some of the stories told gave me shivers down my spine while other left me feeling emotional and a sense of appreciation for life.
The majority of the stories suck you in with their suspense and capture your attention. I really enjoyed listening to the guests talk about their thought processes and how their mind set was before and after being on the brink of death.
One thing that would have made this just a little more interesting, (and I know that’s why Steve has a pod cast) is to hear them discuss more in depth about some of the situations they were facing.
I find Steve to be an incredible podcast host and always the right questions and I felt as though his presence might have helped some of the guests elaborate more on their stories. For instance when the parks ranger interviews the killer does he then question the future of his career? Does he then go onto view is life or job differently after being so traumatized by what he heard.

Most great
Most stories are great and relevant. Was not a fan of the Columbian cartel tale.....those guys put themselves in that predictable situation. Big fan of “the meat eater” podcast and have listened to every episode produced.

Great Stories
All told by the people they happened to with Steven Rinella's input during but mostly between. Listening to these has given me a greater appreciation for being prepared and hugging my family before I go anywhere!
