LOL 😆

Lol I forgot he told they guy all his information

[@jarredloughlin6856]

And how did he even know this guy was a fugitive? He just didn’t want people bothering him. What a douche bag swearing on his whole family and then did it anyways

I have never been scared in the forest never, ever, ever. Trees and Animals are not dangerous. That is natural evil and if you die by natural evil there is no malice involved.

[@bobdole5782]

I don't understand how people can be scared of the deep woods. To me it's the most peaceful, calming place to be. Especially when I'm on a long stay.

Story number one, I guess this guy is going for hell because he didn’t keep it a secret. 😂

When I was homeless, I spent my first summer living in the Bob Marshall's, in the Rockies. Guarantee you there's people living in the mountains. They don't want to be bothered. A lot of them are veterans. Firest rangers are generally aware of them and don't bother them, because who wants to try to creep up on armed veterans living in the woods?

That truck driver story at the end I heard mr ballen do a video on, as well as a few others. Such a crazy incident. The guy seemed normal and loved his family and then on that drive he just lost it for some reason.

[@Victoriakid1012]

Yeah I heard it from MrBallen too

[@WesleyOrshoski]

Yea I remember that story from ballen too. I thought they said the trucker looked terrified when he almost ran the hikers over . Maybe he was running some acid and accidentally took to much and tripped out or aliens

Graphic intro is SICK mane! I asked for Appalachian trail type stories on the recent poll, this is perfect 🤩

[@hollyloomer7667]

Born and raised in Idaho 52+ years. My Father and grandparents live/d outside of the area you were talking about in the first story and we had a farm up there in the rural area. You have to know that there are people that go up in those forests to be left the hell alone and would not bat an eye lash at shooting you up and feeding you to their hogs.

[@youarebymyside]

Why? I don't get it. That man in the first story did nothing wrong when he greeted him. Why this kind of power play with the rifle?

[@hollyloomer7667]

@@youarebymyside I’m not condoning the guys paranoia, however, I steer clear of any dwelling or possible farm when I am in the back country. It really isn’t the bear or coug you need to avoid, but people. Besides it’s quite possible he was protecting an illegal grow sight or hiding from the law. It’s just mountain law.

[@ChimereMadden]

😮

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

Making a mental note of that. Thanks

[@emo7636]

​@@youarebymysideIt's not necessarily a 'power play' as you'd call it. It's about wanting to be isolated and not able to locate. And just occasionally, it's about 'I found this beautifully quiet spot of land and I don't want a bunch of city folk coming and claiming the rest of it for their 2nd home'.

There’s a lot more than 10 National Forests within driving distance. That said, dangerous crazy people in the forests of the PNW isn’t exactly a rarity.

[@harrybrooks8514]

A friend from high school in 1975 used to work nights at a mini market. He was usually a jovial guy, but I could tell from his disposition in class which times he had been held up while on the job. Don’t know why he kept working there; I guess he had to. He told me that having that barrel pointed towards him was beyond frightening. With a gun it’s a totally different kind of scary than with fists and knives.

[@Kneon_Knight]

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who are less scared of a gun than a knife or fists. The reason for this is A) Hollywood tends to portray getting shot as if it's an inconvenience rather than a life threatening injury, especially if it's the main character getting shot, and B) almost everyone has been punched or cut, so they know what that feels like, but not many ordinary people have been shot so they have no frame of reference.

[@ginarodgers3955]

So glad I watched that intro right before I go to sleep 🤣 Definitely not going to give me nightmares. I'm absolutely sure of it

[@UKhomestead]

Hiker should have just kept his mouth shut and gave that guy some faith in humans. Not everyone who doesn't want to interact with other humans have something wrong with them or are doing something wrong. They just want to be left alone

[@TheEuroGarage]

Our culture pushes hypersocial behavior as normal. I get called slurs just from wanting to be left the f alone and not entertaining people with small talk.

[@destinyneal1904]

Love deep woods stories!! My absolute FAVORITE ❤ thank you!!

[@joshuapatrick682]

The Mogollon Rim is my favorite place on Earth, but there are forces there and in the areas surrounding it such as Tonto, the Verde Valley, Oak Creek Canyon…. that we don’t understand. It really is a wilderness punctuated by small settled areas, but it is vast, remote and when you’re up on the Rim at night, under dozens if not hundreds of miles of ponderosa pine in any direction, you really do feel small, and then you look up through a clearing in the trees at the innumerable stars that haven’t been washed out by light, but when you look back down across the small meadow you notice a darkness that is darker than the shadows around it, and it is moving.. if you do go up there, don’t venture off trail and absolutely do not camp outside of a marked camp ground.

[@KayJoyy]

Yayy! Deep woods is my favorite!

[@TimDo-mm2ys]

That first guy pissed me off..like going that far out of ur way for a week to try n make sure u ruin this guys existence anyway u cam was way more then anger..the first call was anger, but continuing to nag at the cops to go out there like he killed ur mother was ridiculous. U have no idea what that guy has been through n what reasons he has for being uo there. N to look into someone's eyes n swear n promise U won't tell anyone where he is, is just as much of a low ball move as any..like move on, leave the guy in peace and remember this on ur deathbed when God brings it up n u have ur whole agnostic view blown out of the water! God bless

[@froginprogress8510]

Intro reminds me of the Trollhunter movie. The guy in the middle of nowhere in the cabin; sounds like some of the rangers may have known of him, and were maybe willfully overlooking his being there. He did say two people knew where he was.

Omg last story is trucker Devin Eugene Williams. Crazy story.

[@donzinette]

Yikes, that first story is frightening!!

[@chupacabra-smith]

The first story made me mad. Leave that man alone. As someone from western montana, please leave the forest cleaner than you found it, and if you run across a random cabin in the wilderness, leave them alone. I'm so tired of people thinking theyre entitled to scope out homes in the woods. A.) People deserve to be left alone if they want and B) SO MANY terrorists and serial killers have chosen to hide out in the wilderness! Youre only potentially putting yourself in danger!

[@snellfraucki863]

Oh yeah!! I'm from Libby (originally) Back in high school a bf & I went out in the woods ( 50 miles or so out of town)gonna smoke pot & do a little drinking. We almost got naked but got a really weird feeling ......like we needed to get the F%@k outta there????? We gathered up our crap & as we drove out of there noticed a man hiding behind some trees no more then 50 ft from where we had been!!!!He looked dirty, scruffy & like he had been in the woods awhile!! We about crapped ourselves & got the hell out of there!!! THANK GOD we didn't get naked Never would have expected to see anyone out in the middle of nowhere!!!

[@robertedwards9861]

nothing like listening this at night and hear that you live in the exact place (in the woods) as the second story. jeeez. yes, near abbeville county SC. oh you crazy universe.....just checked my locks 😑

[@fancimcguffin2227]

We don’t believe in an old white guy with a cloud beard just as we don’t believe in a sky daddy etc. Simplistic caricatures. Bah. And. How did he know the man lowered his rifle a bit when his back was turned towards the man? He only started to turn and the man told him not to move a muscle.

That guy In the first story was a doofus what makes him so intent he was a dangerous criminal I feel like he just wanted to be alone and live off the grid

[@jj74554]

Fr, doofous is the perfect word. There are so many people living in National Forests either by choice or circumstances. Not sure why you would automatically assume he's a criminal. Guy just wants to live quietly by himself without government interference

[@ridney5887]

​@@jj74554It was probably threatening to kill a hiker who was already trying to leave. Literally dangerous, criminal stuff. If you want to be left alone you just give people the cold shoulder and that's it

[@chrislockwood4773]

​@ridney5887 will curious George doofus boy just had to go looking around and discover his location on someone that's trying to not be found why do you think he's deliberate and whether to just end him and be safe or give him a chance he found it in his heart to give him a chance in the first thing that you did was snitch

[@lfl5982]

I agree with you 100%, if he was a bad person he most likely would have shot him right then and there but he didn't, and after weak knee's gave his word, he turned around and ratted him out. You better hope he's a good person, because now he may feel forced into shooting the next person who finds him. he may feel he has no other option after what happened this time.

By his own obnoxiously verbose admission, the op in the first story shows himself as an absolute GIMP. Now I'm in no way defending the cabin guys actions BUT... after declaring undying alegiance that you would "follow your family into hell" blah blah blah... if you ever told anyone, then that is straight up the very thing you do at the first given opportunity?? Im not surprised to come to the comments and find folks sympathising with the would be shooter. He has shown himself to have no integrity or backbone. He annoyed me so much I was compelled to wake up and write this comment at 4am! 😂

[@lindamoser6317]

I heard the same story a while back exactly word for word on another podcast except for the fact in that story when the family saw him at the edge of the woods they noticed he was barefoot. I remembered it because of how the man was acting so weird. I wondered then if he wasnt using meth?? In that story they said same thing he wasnt known for using drugs. However if for some reason he wanted more hours of staying awake maybe he did. Years ago some truck drivers used what they called "white crosses" or "speed" pills to stay alert which was amphetamines (meth). The behavior of a person who lacks sleep from the use of amphetamines sounded much like this truck driver who hadnt maybe ever used drugs before then?? Its just a thought. The trucker might have had some medical emergency instead of course. His outcome was sad for himself and family regardless. Thank u Joel for your hardwork just for us!!!!❤

[@AngelofDarkness1978]

18:30 all police are to me are professional grown ups. You call them when you cannot handle your issues like a grown up and you should probably move back to California where no one is apparently mentally and emotionally capable of dealing with problems themselves.
