About the Book

Eleven spellbinding tales of transformation, survival, and grit from the creators of the New York Times bestselling original audiobook MeatEater's Campfire Stories: Close Calls.

In MeatEater’s Campfire Stories: Discoveries, Revelations & Near Misses, a collection of outdoorsmen share remarkable tales of life-altering moments.

You’ll hear firsthand accounts of a deadly helicopter crash, turkey hunting during a tornado, a prophetic dream about a 24-point buck, a fight over a record-breaking black bear, plus more stories about close calls and brushes with death.
