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.

After Justin Harris severely breaks his leg deep in a remote, Utah canyon, it's up to his brother Jeremy to climb out for help. Clawing his way through icy pools of water and up rock faces, pushes Jeremy to his limit.

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

A camping trip takes a turn for the worse when a man is crushed beneath an ATV and leaves fighting for his life.

Ed Rosenthal set out for a short hike in Joshua Tree National Park, but in the heat of the day he became turned around and lost. His six-day ordeal of survival in blazing temperatures with no food or water is nothing short of miraculous.
