On this week's episode of Bear Grease, Clay Newcomb has curated a selection of stories about close calls and near death in Alaska. We've got five stories of raging rivers, charging grizzlies, boat wrecks, and nights on the mountain sleeping under a goat hide. You'll hear from hunting guide Billy Molls, Chad Ferguson, Carrie Kegler, and Meateater's own Randall Williams. We really doubt you're gonna want to miss this one.
