Episode 35: The Mountain That Tried to Break Him

After a tragic war at home, Samuel Vengrinovich traveled to India searching for peace. But a simple hike in the Himalayas turned into a brutal fight for survival after a deadly fall left him broken, stranded, and invisible in one of the most remote corners of the world. With no phone, no food, and shattered limbs—Sam survived by eating insects, drinking his own urine, and climbing down cliffs with one hand. But it wasn’t just grit that kept him alive…It was love. In this extraordinary true story, hear how radical self-compassion became the ultimate survival tool—and how a global search effort raced against time to bring him home. This isn’t just a survival story. It’s a story about what keeps us alive when everything else is gone. Then we will review 10 essentials to bring on a hike along with survival tips if you get lost, which includes tips from Barney (Yes! The purple dinosaur)!
