Episode Description from the Publisher

What happens when you're mauled by a bear 1,000 miles from civilization? 17-year-old Alex Messenger set out on what should have been a 42-day canoe trip in the Canadian Subarctic-one of the most desolate places on Earth, when the unthinkable happened. With rescue resources scarce and hundreds of miles of wilderness still ahead of him, Alex would have to figure out how to survive his injuries and make it home. Listen on Apple, Spotify, or Amazon: https://linktr.ee/almostdeadlypodcast Follow us on Instagram: Almost Deadly Podcast Follow us on TikTok: Almost Deadly PodcastContact us: Almostdeadlypodcast@gmail.comStory Sources:The Twenty-Ninth Day by Alex MessengerAlex Messenger, grizzly bear attack survivor, writes WSJ best seller - Destination Duluth Kayaking and Canoeing in Nunavut | Destination Canada Precambrian - Paleoclimate, Supercontinent, Eon | Britannica Muskox - Wikipedia Bear Attacks (U.S. National Park Service)https://www.ptsd.va.gov/understand/what/avoidance.asp?https://tactical-medicine.com/blogs/news/how-much-blood-loss-is-fatal-the-critical-thresholds-of-hemorrhagic-shock
