Summary

Against the Odds is a podcast from Wondery about regular, everyday people who found themselves fighting for their lives against unthinkable odds. Told from the point of view of the survivors, you’ll feel first-hand what it was like for them to fight to stay alive. Like the Alaska Bear Attack, a backcountry ski trip with three friends that turned into a living nightmare when they unknowingly skied over a den and awoke a mother bear and her cub from hibernation. Bleeding and hypothermia were imminent, but his friends had to try their best to keep him alive while waiting for rescue – and hoping the bear wouldn’t come back for them. This is just a preview of Against the Odds, but you can listen to the full episode at Wondery.fm/Crimelines_ATO Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
