Faith, determination and human spirit abound in "Fight to Survive," which recounts stories of people's deadly ordeals in the outdoors. Accompanying survivors back to where harrowing events occurred is rock-climber Craig DeMartino, who is featured in the premiere episode. His right leg was amputated below the knee after a climbing accident, but he continued in his sport. In 2006 he became the first amputee to free-climb the 3,200-foot face of Yosemite's El Capitan in one day. Other stories tell of sailor Steven Callahan clinging to a raft in the Atlantic, fisherman Dean Ririe trapped by a boulder in icy water, and hiker Ted Porter falling into a glacial crevasse.

Nathan Holcomb falls from his tree stand and must crawl out on his own to find help.

Pastor Mike Turner becomes trapped under a boulder for 11 excruciating days.

Two fishermen in Central Texas face a crazed deer in rut.

Craig DeMartino examines the stories of other survivors he's met across the season. Their survival stories are all different, but Craig discovers that these survivors share more in common than you might think.
