60 Feet Away: How a 19-Year-Old Stopped a Grizzly Attack With His Bare Hands | E 243

Описание

With a broken arm and hundreds of stitches between them, getting off that mountain would take everything they had, and everyone they came with. This is a story about what happens when training, instinct, and brotherhood collide with the raw power of the wild. 00:00 Welcome to The Crux 00:38 Grizzly Charge Cold Open 01:35 Meet the Wrestlers 03:49 Split Up on the Trail 04:33 Brady Gets Mauled 06:35 Kendall Runs In 10:25 Second Attack and Silence 11:28 911 Call and Rescue Push 16:15 Hospital and Injury Breakdown 19:37 Bear Spray Lessons 20:47 Recovery and Hero Medal 22:30 Documentary and Facing Bears Again 24:12 Bear Spray vs Firearms Data 27:18 Practical Bear Country Tips 29:17 Bonus Bear in the House 30:56 Final Takeaway and Wrap Up 32:40 Outro and Listener Support Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ REFERENCES CNN — "College wrestlers mauled in gruesome grizzly bear attack" (October 20, 2022) ESPN — "Northwest College wrestlers hospitalized after bear attack" (October 19, 2022) ABC News — "Wyoming college wrestlers recount near-death fight with grizzly bear" (October 19, 2022) NBC News — "Two college wrestlers injured in grizzly bear attack while hunting in Wyoming" (October 18, 2022) CBS Sports — "Wyoming college wrestler saves teammate from being mauled by grizzly bear" (October 19, 2022) Deseret News — "Grizzly bear attacks two college wrestlers in Wyoming" (October 17, 2022) FloWrestling — "Northwest College
