It’s fantastic news,” he said.

A fascinating collection of real life extraordinary survival stories from across the world. Some of the tales are familiar, like the ones about Aron Ralston and Hugh Glass, whose dangerous adventures have been made into movies. Others are less known, but just as riveting.
