Surviving a Grizzly Bear Attack | Rudy Noorlander | Ep. 006

Today on the show we’re airing the very first episode that we ever recorded for this project, featuring outdoorsman and navy vet Rudy Noorlander. On September 8th, 2023, Rudy was tracking a wounded deer when an encounter with a grizzly bear changed his life forever. On this episode of the backcountry manifesto, Rudy recounts that encounter and his subsequent recovery.
