Hi and welcome to the Short Stuff.
I'm Josh.
There's Chuck.
Jerry's here, too, sitting in for Dave.
And the three of us are on the run through the Canadian Arctic recreating the story of the Mad Trapper.
And it's not going very well for us.
That's right, the Mad Trapper of Rat River, AKA perhaps, I don't even know about perhaps, almost certainly Canada's most infamous unknown person on the lam.
And the largest manhunt in Canada's history conducted to try and get this guy.
Yeah, this is.
I saw it referred to as like an iconic Canadian story.
This guy just tore us up in 1931, made international headlines and died.
It's still, to this day, no one knows who he is.
And not one of those things where, like, we're pretty sure it's this guy.
We just can't prove it.
They have no idea who this guy is.
They're starting to kind of chew around the edges of it.
But the fact that he is still unidentified just makes it that much more interesting.
But even if you were identified, Chuck, his story is still just totally fascinating on its own.
Yeah, it's not like Somerton man, because that was the most interesting thing about that, was the mystery of who he was.
It wouldn't care.
