Beyond Five Minutes

About this book

Jack Zimmerman's life changed forever on March 9, 2011. An IED blast in Afghanistan took both his legs and ravaged his arms. Bleeding out on the battlefield, he clung to a surgeon's words: "Stay awake five more minutes, and I promise you will live."

Those crucial minutes sparked a journey of grit and renewal. In this raw, honest memoir, Zimmerman shares how his love for hunting and the outdoors became his lifeline, helping him rebuild his identity and find purpose again.

From teenage hunts in Minnesota to chasing mountain lions in Montana on a sled pulled by friends and dogs, Zimmerman's tale is one of stubborn hope. He offers hard-won wisdom on weathering life's toughest blows, leaning on others, and finding healing in wild places.

Beyond 5 Minutes isn't about overcoming trauma. It's a testament to the power of nature, the strength of community, and the fierce human drive to adapt and thrive. Zimmerman's story reminds us that with guts, grace, and good people by our side, we can push through damn near anything.

Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a wounded warrior yourself, or someone grappling with your own personal battles, this book will strike a chord. It's gritty, inspiring look at what it means to keep fighting, keep living, and keep chasing adventure - no matter what life throws your way.
