Mauled

Mauled: Lessons Learned from a Grizzly Bear Attack is an inspiring true-life survival story set in the remote backcountry of the Canadian Rockies. In August 2017, 32-year-old Jeremy Evans endured multiple ferocious attacks by a protective female grizzly bear while hunting in the Alberta wilderness.

The account details the extent of Jeremy’s injuries and the long, isolated push to get help, including driving himself to a backcountry lodge in the dark after more than a dozen kilometres. Mauled also covers the life lessons he drew from being so close to death—how setting small goals supported his recovery—and Jeremy’s perspective on the bear. Despite the trauma, he holds no animosity toward it and still enjoys spending time in the backcountry, seeing the grizzly’s actions as protection for her young.
