Today’s episode explores the lengths that humans will go to survive. Aron Ralston was a 27 year old outdoor enthusiast out for a day hike and climb in Utah’s Canyonlands National Park, when a bolder fell on his hand and trapped him in a slot canyon. What followed shows the unshakeable nature of the human spirit, and how far we’ll go when our life is on the line.
