The Coldest Night: Rob Gering's 12-Hour Fight for Survival
In this episode of Crux True Survival Stories, host Kaycee McIntosh interviews Rob Gering, who recounts his harrowing experience of surviving a snowmobile crash in subzero temperatures in northern Wisconsin.

His survival hinged on a lost glove and the sharp observation of a fellow snowmobiler.
