Episode 30: Bearly Made it Out: Caught between Mama and her Cubs

On a pristine summer morning in the Alaskan backcountry, Dan and John set off on what should have been a peaceful fishing trip. But their adventure takes a terrifying turn when they come face to face with a massive Brown bear blocking the trail. As they retreat, hoping to avoid confrontation, they find themselves cut off by her cubs just minutes later—unwittingly caught in the most dangerous position in the wild: between a mother bear and her offspring.
