I know this man is supposed to be the "bad guy", yet he deserved at least a song from Sabaton. Damn it, he deserves the whole album to be made after his deeds !
In a film from 2009 “Arctic Hunt: Hunt For The Mad Trapper they dug up his body and took dna samples. They tested it to known relatives of those who have been accused of being the mad trapper and none are a match.
"in a fit of panic, he was shot in the spine".....doesn't add up. This guy didn't panic. He was shot from behind after surrendering.... His pursuers were angry and murdered him...he was just a dentist looking for some piece and quiet and they murdered him......reminds me a lot of "first blood"...
Think your right. Go look up the museum on this. According to the museum they have Johnson guns that was on him when he was killed. The one is a Savage 99 in the 30-30 other one was a sawed of double barrel 16 gauge and the other gun Johnson had was some kind of a 22 LR. Then other supplies Johnson had was some hunting knives and some compasses.
@@bustersmith5569 Idk it to until I read up on it myself. Always did know the Savage 99 it came in 308 Win, cause my Godfather had one, and now 1 of the sons or grandsons has it now. But back in the day or older guns seems like these gun companies had way more caliber options than now days.
There are so many inaccurate details in this vid I don't know where to start. If you want a meticulously detailed, researched, and documented book on the story. Read "The Mad Trapper Of Rat River" by Dick North. very good read. and you'll know as much as anyone ever can about the man. although lots of details are lost forever. I SOOO wish someone would make this into a movie in the style of "The Revenant" using Dick Norths book as a source. it would be fantastic.
I wonder if the Mounties thought twice the next time a stranger moved into the area and simply wanted to be left alone and wasn't bothering anyone, or did they harass and bully him? Seeing as they got their ass kicked, I reckon they where much more respectful the next time a stranger came to town. Lol
"Due to circumstances not of his making, he came into contact with the law." He moved into an area and people's traps were tampered with. Sounds like he set himself up to have contact with the police.
I was employed by Golden Harvest Films Inc. for this film it was to be called The Albert Johnson story until his family went to court and prevented it what I'm a'say'n here is as to who the Rat River Trapper was is no mystery. Madison Avenue hype here.

Crazy,realy?All the time,money,effort,manpower, and life spent on one man! One man who wanted to be left alone? How stupid! The homestead law is still in efect. If i want to build a cabin, live alone in the wilderness,live off the land. So be it! Leave me alone!! Or the same thing will happen to the first nosey son of a bitch that comes to my door unwelcome! Besides, he would not have lived long anyway. Not under those conditions.people like those r.c.m.p. need to be more carefull who they mess with. He could have easily killed them all!
It's the Scandinavian accent aspect that had them going wild. As the (then-new mass media radio phenomena) media circus grew, people heard about his (presumed) accent and started to assume he had to be a Saami immigrant.
"now known as nunavat" wrong wrong wrong........nunavat is in the eastern artic , the east portion of the nwt to be exact, if they can't get a simple fact like that straight how wrong is other parts?? i am turning this off at 3 :30 minutes
Why didnt they just wait him out? He couldnt stay in there for ever. And why not ask him to stop messing with others traps and he would be left alone. What a waste of time and money and a persons life.
I don't think the cops were trained in this kind of stuff back in those days like the cops are trained now days for these kind of situations. If this happened now days Johnson would have never escaped. (not unless he had a underground tunnel like the Chapo and the Mexican drug lords etc....noted for using). This past year there was a big shooting about 2 or 3 miles away from my house. So the cops and swat team closed down the street and near by neighborhood, got near by residents out of their own houses and out of the area, then they surrounded the house, then the cops drove one of those police and armored vehicles through the front wall of the house, then they flooded the basement then after the 2nd or 3rd day the cops finally went into that house and found the gunman and his wife or girlfriend dead down in the basement.
Exactly ive hitch hiked in minus 37 roughly 190 miles took me 11.5 hours to get there spent most of the money i had hitting diners getting hot food and coffee trying to stay warm was the winter of 1993 i believe
Never opens the door nor fired through the windows they never even mentioned the posse approaching the cabin after it blew up and Johnson fires on them
Death Hunt movie, Hollywood changes everything around. All research I done on this, only things they got right and accurate in the movie was the cabin being blown up, Wop May the WW1 flying ace, but Johnson in real life did not shoot down the airplane and killed Wop May like they showed in the movie, and 40 or 50 some cops going after the mad trapper and that is about it, what is true on what they showed in the movie. Don't get me wrong it was a very good movie and Bronson and Marvin were great actors. I think the Discovery Channel is a lot more realistic on what really happened then what the movie showed.
I have no idea why this film was made. It is not at all factual, it doesn't come close to realistic...there are much better resources if you are interested in this story. Check out the CBC archives, they interview many of the people actually involved in the manhunt.
We do not know what this guy did before he got there. We must remember. There was the Death penalty in Canada then. If Albert Johnson committed a death penalty type crime, and he mistakenly thought that was why they were there, then it Does make sense, why he would run for it.
per sebra Wrong does happen but it is not the general case for poaching. Maybe in Africa, Asia or South America but were i life everything was, long ago, legally brought to extinction. Extinction of species still happens here most by farmers, new highways, new homes etc..
How the Western Black Rhino Went Extinct blogs.scientificamerican.com/extinction-countdown/2013/11/13/western-black-rhino-extinct/ you can go back to sleep now...
Maybe that was bs ??? Maybe he stood up to the local shithead who squealed to the cops. Or maybe the local asshole cop didn’t like that he wasn’t to bothered buy the permit comment & had it in for him ever since ???
If this same scenario happened now days, Johnson would of never have escaped from that cabin. (Not unless he had a underground tunnel all ready dug out at least 3 or 4 blocks away like Pablo and the Mexican drug lords etc...are noted for using now days, then maybe yes). Back in the 1930's the cops did not know and were not trained to handle situations like this, like the cops and swat teams like now days are trained for these kind of situations. I live in a high populated urban area. This past summer during the 4th of July weekend there was a big shootout about 2 or 3 miles away from my house. This is how the cops and local swat teams handled it. First thing the cops has done, was surrounded the house were the gunman was in and at the same time evacuated all the people out of their own houses and near by houses to a safe location. And the cops strategy on this is to keep the gunman as a prisoner inside his own house.Then they tried to use a robot with a camera on it to see were the gunman was located in the house at, but the gunman shot up the robot and camera. Then they drove one of these swat or military armored trucks right through the front wall of the house. Then they flooded the basement out with fire hoses. Then after 2 or 3 days after this shootout began the cops finally went inside the house and found the gunman and his wife or girlfriend dead in the basement. Then according to my local news stations and newspaper they said that the gunman killed his wife but unknown if the cops or swat shot the gunman or if the gunman committed suicide.
The movie Death Hunt was an insulting piece of shit fiction . If you want something close to the truth - read The Mad Trapper of Rat River . Author is Dick North .
Death Hunt was a piece of pure Hollywood fiction, which turned all the characters on their heads, but a pretty well-made and entertaining movie. The actual story isn't really particularly interesting unless you were personally involved, except for maybe the mystery of whose skulls Johnson pried the gold teeth out of. Otherwise just ANOTHER xenophobic White American guy gone off the deep end. P.S. Dick North = perfect name for male porn actor. Read his book, though.
"Johnson" never removed gold teeth from other people . Another fantasy . I have two knives and an elk skin pouch made by J J . My great uncle worked with him and prospected with him .
Master Tracker Then it's a fantasy of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. And the harassment of the Native Americans and the tampering with their traps was just a fantasy of theirs. Hey, maybe he was a wonderful guy, who am I to say? And no doubt the men he shot while carrying out their legitimate duties were struck by fantasy bullets. If the shoes fit, at some point you gotta wear them.
"legitimate duties " . Johnson saved the life of a pregnant "Native American " / Inuit Canadian - Fed her and kept her from freezing to death . You haven't done the research . Happy New Year .
7:36 LOL -80 celsius, easyly normal!!! Right!!! The Lowest temp. EVER recorded on Earth is -89,2 C,, and that was on Wostock-base Antartica 3200 meters above sealevel midwinter! (i know Canada gets cold, but its not Antartica) Sometimes the ppl reading commentarys just dont know what theyr talking abouth. They talk abouth -50 like its childsplay, the coldest i have personly experienced is -35 C, and thats cold enough to numb your brain and freese your soul.
This sucks out loud!! The man was shot 17 times & were did all the gold teeth from more then one person come from?? He was also stealing from the Indian trap lines the man was a thief.
They would use it to blow up the cabin if he refused to come out, which he did refuse and they did use the dynamite, blowing up the cabin, but he was hiding in his bomb shelter he made in his floor.
I love the comments from those folks who say "Oh the poor innocent guy, why couldn't the evil government just leave him alone!" Does a man who tampers with other peoples' traps and uses threats to try to drive them from their lands sound like someone who just wants to be "left alone"? Does a sack of gold teeth from other human beings sound like the possession of a "poor innocent guy"?
Damn... I've never heard such incredible nonsense... It's almost like the folks that put this video together, only studied the the title... Almost all the "information" they gave, was patently incorrect... Major Fail... 😠😠😠👎👎👎

They really should have done a little research before making this.
Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin, the death hunt...
Great movie!
"in a fit of panic, he was shot in the spine".....doesn't add up.
This guy didn't panic. He was shot from behind after surrendering....
His pursuers were angry and murdered him...he was just a dentist looking for some piece and quiet and they murdered him......reminds me a lot of "first blood"...
The film shows him with a 1866 ever action but Albert Johnson used a Savage M99.
In another interview they said ,it was a savage 30 30
Think your right. Go look up the museum on this. According to the museum they have Johnson guns that was on him when he was killed.

The style of The Revenant, but not the lack of authenticity of The Revenant.
Yes
They did its called death hunt its a movie loosely based on the case it stars charles Bronson lee marvin and carl weathers
He obviously just wanted to be left alone
The people who made this video should be ashamed.
Plot twist: its live footage from 1932 😂
I wonder if the Mounties thought twice the next time a stranger moved into the area and simply wanted to be left alone and wasn't bothering anyone, or did they harass and bully him? Seeing as they got their ass kicked, I reckon they where much more respectful the next time a stranger came to town. Lol

yes its me i am the mad trapper i went mad when i did not get any beer on a saturday night

4:45 "...and this was in minus 40 degrees (doesn't know if Celsius or fahrenheit)... temperature"
Celsius = Centigrade which was mentioned earlier. Canada uses C° not F°
-40 C and -40 F are the same
