This week, we cover the great and suspensful story of Todd Orr, the man who in 2016 survived a Double Grizzly Bear Attack in the span of minutes! He was armed and ready for that scary mad mama bear, but he still had to play dead, focus on surviving, and hold his breath until the bear left. We learn from Todd Orr himself and note that going into a fetal defensive position can be a very good thing! Especially up against one of North America's largest predators.
Stay safe out there, folks!
