AT hiker 'Provisions' - "Breathing Exercise"
มุมมอง 3.1K12 ปีที่แล้ว
Met a crazy hiker called Provisions.
Possibly rabid baby raccoon - Partnership Shelter
มุมมอง 3.7K12 ปีที่แล้ว
I saw this baby raccoon a mile from Partnership Shelter on the Appalachian Trail. Shit got real. I kicked it across the woods twice, and it was still coming after me, growling. The forest rangers said I did the right thing defending myself. I really didn't want to kick it. I was just trying to scare it off.
Nah not rabies, likely separated from its mother and just clinging to whoever comes by. I've dealt with rabid animals in my line of work (nuisance wildlife) and it's definitely not behaving rabid. Still no need to take risk.
Is this the guy who just killed someone?
No. While Provisions was out there as far as I know he never harmed anyone. You're probably thinking of, James Louis Jordan, who murdered Stronghold in 2019.
The sounds it was making was more of a desperate I'm hungry sound. They growl when they're angry even when they're a baby like that. 98% likely it lost its mother and thought you'd feed. They will be tame at that age even just found in the wild. It's like raccoons have to learn to fear humans as they grow.
Solid gold right here. So glad this exists.
Get shots
to be honest i would have kicked it like a soccer ball id kick right into the woods bc if i saw a thing like that chasing me then id be scared and id run off and it would give u time to escape. :P
4 year ago still priceless never get old. wonder what happens to him
I'm so glad this exists. Three years later and I still watch this shit for a good laugh.
People have to understand rabies is a death sentence and you can't take the chance and let that raccoon, cute as it may be, get near you. He did the right thing.
Peter Lindberg rabies is NOT a "death sentence." It can be treated.
Only a death sentence if you wait till you get symptoms to get treatment. Treatment should be ASAP of bitten. Also baby raccoons may follow a person if their mother left them hungry etc. They just don't know any better and usually haven't developed a fear of humans. But you never know and I wouldn't want it trying to climb my leg either lol
So did it have rabies and ever went back there to look for that baby
The adorable baby thought you were it's mama or knew where she was because he was hungry. if a baby followed you would you punt it? may no one harm your loved ones, karma is real.
How the fuck would it think a random human in the woods was its mother? You're an idiot. Raccoons don't act like fucking Disney cartoon characters.
ParadiseSunrise Yoga he was defending himself. And babies and raccoons are two different things. Better safe than sorry
"I punted a baby raccoon twice, and that shits chasing me." LMAO.
Okay so I'm the owners son of four pines hostel and this guy is pure crazy we had to kick him out and his bamboo stick
This shit is funny as hell.
funny and scary at the same time. something was wrong with it. that raccoon should run from you.
"do you know any martial arts?" was the first thing he asked me when i met him. He then asked me if he could trade me a book for some mashed potatoes. I asked what book, he said "abraham lincoln vampire hunter." the way he said it was just so funny i agreed to the trade. turned out to be an awesome book and a movie too i found out. anyone heard from provisions? im guessin hes still out there ha
thats awesome i met him at partnership as well, apparently he was there for a while haha
Awesome video. Met this gem at partnership. Luckily, I only spent a few hours there.
98% sure it is.
is this Thomas Knob shelter?
I think so!
this dude is a trail legend
met him at chestnut knob shelter along with opie & parm, balls & sunshine, and acid glasses. every time i would roll over or do anything in the middle of the night, he would shine his headlamp in my face (since he was awake and eating his moldy oatmeal)! he was crazier than a snake's armpit -alpo
i met him at the partnership shelter. i only talked to him for a few minutes but it was enough to convince me he was completely crazy.
met him in a bar in Damascus, he taught us all how to exercise properly using only sticks and a grocery sack and or trash bag, and mooches off of the good faith of small town churches ....
Met him just outside Pearisburg... where he tried to explain to us that garlic cloves and peanut butter was the best hiker snack.
how do people dislike this.
That's the definition of "out there".
Yeah, I wish I'd have interviewed him for "FM on the AT". Glad you caught him in his natural state. I've watched and shown this vid to friends several times, never gets old, so funny!! Fatherman
I ran into ham new Marion, VA. He didn't even say hi, all he did was try to mooch cigarettes and then he went on his way. Interesting person haha
He was at one of the shelters I was at for a night...he was crazy
He night hikes because he overheats due to "small eyelids," so I gave him two packets of coffee to urge him on away from us. Turns out, he just drank the coffee and was tweaking all night in the shelter. Glad he was going south-ish. -Stretch.
He told me I should carry a broad sword. That I am of Nordic descent and that I should start sailing again to discover new land to make my people proud. This is Steamroller btw.
Murphy you are awesome for helping other people know how damn weird Provisions was in only 20 seconds. usually an encounter with him costs a grueling hour of insanity. -3 Shot
I heard about this guy. unbelievable
