Loved, and learned!

I listened while heading to and from a couple of recent hunting trips. I found story tellers details on what they were thinking while in life threatening situations very interesting. And on how quickly things can change.

A few days ago I was hunting alone and decided I would put up a ladder stand which required the trimming of some limbs from a large spruce tree. I had a chain saw and headed in to start trimming. I would need to climb up 10-15 feet to use the saw with one hand while holding myself in position with the other.

Having listened to a few stories from this book that morning I decided I would wait until the next day to use the saw and put up the stand when a couple of friends would be there with me.

Just seemed a little short, left me wanting more.

The stories were great, just like the first one. The narration was great, and the stories being told by the actual survivors definitely adds weight. My only complaint would be that it seemed a little short, which I guess is more of a testament to the quality of the product.

Loved it... but too short.

I thought it was a great listen. Although I felt it was a little short needless to say.

George D.

I really enjoyed the first close calls and was worried this one would have lesser stories on it. That is not the case, at least for me. This audio book has some of my favorite.

A criticism I have is that if you listen to the Meat eater podcast you will likely have heard Steve use most or at least half of his story intro/outro/transition content.

Awesome

I had a frog in my throat and severe allergies, causing me to tear up at almost every story.

Great listen

Really enjoyed the time performances and stories. I was excited when one of the stories was from the area I live in and the area the hunter was in is an area I hike it. Pretty neat to have rural Alberta Rockies represented

Very Entertaining

The stories are great, hearing each story coming from the main character is such a nice touch. Just as good as the first one!
