Tell Me What Happened

Face-to-Face With a Hungry Grizzly


Listen Later

A fight for life in the Canadian wilderness.

Colin Dowler spent his whole life looking at the mountain named after his grandfather. Finally, at the age of 45, he decided to climb it. What should have been a two-day hike turned into a fight for his life when he encountered a massive grizzly bear. It took an extraordinary sequence of events to save his life.

We also talk with Dr. Matt Levy with the American Red Cross about the things that had to line up for Colin to survive and what you can do to help someone who needs blood.

WARNING: This episode describes a graphic and violent attack that may be disturbing to some listeners.
