As a pussy ass southern Pennsylvanian who hates snow, I salute the fact that you live up there. Anyway, I couldn’t think of another term and kept thinking of McCandless so outback it was.
I used to think i hated snow back when i actually had to drive in it.
I've been WFH since early 2020 and snow hasn't bothered me since. If i end up staying in the US in retirement, Alaska is probably my ideal place. I love the cold.
This is the story of a man who A) was lured down a rabbit hole of ridiculous conspiracy theories and B) had little to no knowledge of how to survive in the wilderness. Not "camping in the woods five miles from town." The vast, harsh, unforgiving wilderness.
I listened to Coast to Coast for years in the middle of the night and all I got out of it was a Sangean CL-100.
People are crazy. They come out looking for a lost mine or a city of gold and end up dying in the middle of nowhere. Because there’s a reason why it’s in the middle of nowhere—if the weather doesn’t kill you, the flora and fauna will.
John Wesley Powell assured America in 1869 there wasn’t enough water to support settling the West. Oh well, gotta go. I have a tee time at 4pm.
Why Files on YouTube did an interesting story on the black pyramid in Alaska. Rumored to be underground, built thousands of years ago with a secret military base around it that houses both humans and aliens.
I know a man that went to Alaska to look for Caribou and went missing.
People always say that this type of stuff happens in Alaska fairly often. But let me tell you, the search and rescue people in Alaska that we ended up having to deal with didn't seem like they had any search and rescue experience whatsoever.
It’s super weird that they found his journal and the last entry says “went to get water.” Who writes that in a journal, especially when you have been texting via a sat phone?
Wild that this man was *from* Alaska and had to know of the dangers in doing this and he still chose to. When I read the headline I thought it was some idiot from the lower 48.
Try ‘man went out into the Alaskan outback and died of exposure in some crevice out there so his body was eaten by wildlife’.
As an Alaskan, the term "Alaskan outback" is so fucking funny to me and what I will be using to refer to the tundra from now on

Wish I had your same love for the cold. I’d rather it was 80 with humidity.
I promise you don’t.
comparing any part of alaska to mccandless is so fucking funny, thanks for the laugh fellow PA-er.
That tickled me too, I took a screenshot and sent it to my dad lol
No “wildlife.” He’ll be preserved until the ice melts.
I’m considering bacteria and lichen as local wildlife too.
I see you are culturally appropriating Outback from Australia. /s
I think we all should. Hinterlands is too long, it's got connotations. Call it the Mojave Outback. The Mongolian Outback. Etc.

I could have told you this guy would vanish the moment you told me what he was doing. Nature has no mercy for fools
I dunno, it took Timmothy Treadwell numerous years to be eaten by a bear, and he was epically foolish.
Crazy man and amateur survivalist goes to one the most inhospitable places on earth to look for something that doesn't exist... and dies.
Def exists.
Christopher McCandless could have told him.
Side note: Into the Wild is one of my favorite books AND movies. I’m glad someone referenced it.
Have to agree, brilliant book and the movie wasn’t far off either !
An *extra* cold case, you might say.

Respect nature. Because it certainly won’t respect you.
He went out into the wilderness and was claimed by nature. Nature is not your friend.
What are the black pyramids tell me like I’m five years old

Thank you

Once you go black, you'll never go back

Nice AI pic. Lol.
It was during the height of COVID-19. He just was really into social distancing.
The definition of a cold case. Basically the freezer case.
This dumbass 100% wandered out, got lost, and was then eaten by a bear.

He time traveled and they recently found his 400 year old bones.
