#2: Remember, folks...when seconds count, the police are months away from writing up a report about how you weren't an efficient use of resources to save.

5 stories your should listen to living in a firewatch tower

3rd story is so sad, for the child and for the woman who wrote the story. God bless to both of them.

That poor girl. I’m referring to the 2nd story, about the bloody naked girl he found & ended up kidnapped from the hospital. The horror she endured is unimaginable. From listening to his story, sounds like a serial killer had her but she somehow escaped his grasp but only for a brief amount of time for he was able to kidnap her a second time knowing that she’d be taken to the closest hospital due to her appearance when found. Serial killers are cunning, extremely manipulative and can be very persuasive. Between this and the irresponsibility of the hospital staff/police, it wouldn’t have been hard for someone to throw on the proper colored uniform along with a name tag, flash a toothy smile at any passers by/staff & just walk in and then right back out. The girl was non verbal so she wouldn’t have tried to scream or use her words to communicate for help. The evil that lurks in this world is truly terrifying & humans are the scariest monsters of all .

That barren lady who got dumped never graduated and aspired to be a house wife but became a forest ranger instead because she "likes being outside" and ended up finding a dead baby with a ginormous head. What a ride.

Story 3: Do people really understand how profoundly difficult it is to have and raise children?  It is a lifelong job that can even break your heart.  Think long and hard before you decide to be a parent.

I just gotta say I laughed out loud when the first story said “National Parks aren’t exactly high crime areas”, that’s a complete lie. The amount of people that have gone missing under extremely suspicious circumstances in national parks has filled many books, they just never find the bodies. Also in story 3, divorcing a woman because she can’t have children is one of the most disgusting heartless things I’ve ever heard. That is not a man.

I have to admit, while I don't listen to these stories every single day or week, I really love this guy's voice.
You don't try to "Over-creep" or "sound" like you're trying to be scary. Just an even keel voice in a cold (ish) tone. Well done sir.

"These stories make me respect park rangers even more. Dealing with the unknown in the wild must be terrifying!"

Story 4,

Weaver was approached by undercover federal agents to trick him into building illegal firearms (short barreled shotguns), which he refused multiple times before giving in and producing 2 shotguns with cut barrels still within legal limits (over 18 inches). The feds considered this enough evidence to arrest weaver and served him a warrant. After he failed to appear in court, the feds secretly approached his residence on Ruby Ridge for a surveillance op. Weavers dog alerted to the agents, and took off after them just to be shot. Weaver's son and friend heard this and logically assumed someone was trespassing wishing to do the family harm, so they went about to defend the property. The son was shot first since he was armed at the time and died in the shed near by, his parents and sister visiting his body in the night during the standoff. On their way back into the cabin, the fed sniper shot blindly into the cabin door striking weaver and killing his pregnant wife.

The government coercied Weaver to break the law (which he didnt), the government agents Shot first and the government murdered a son protecting his family and his pregnant mother.

Remember Ruby Ridge.

Doesn't excuse random violence on federal workers, but sheds light on how terrible the government can be with its own citizens.

That very generous of the daughter of the Spanish Mayor/Park Ranger to have the remains of the Jane Doe buried next to her father.

39:48 WOW, he sure did "clean up" that Ruby Ridge story didn't he!?

Story 3 absolutely screams quantum ripples. The tree was planted there decades ago (prior to the child being buried there ). The child is buried there. The tree that was planted way before the child was buried (or grew there naturally either way it's a type of planting) grows large enough to nudge the tip of the box containing the child to the surface, and the ranger trips over the box.  All the ripples that led to the ranger being there at that exact time I don't know, but it's fascinating.

How did they know the shooter used a Rem 700 if they didn’t find any evidence at all??

20:50 have chills. What powerful words

I live about an hour outside of Acadia in the Bangor area. Born and Raised in Maine. Grew up going to Acadia every summer. When I heard the name, I thought it was going to be some kind of horrible monster story and sat with bated breath. Instead, it was just sad. Poor little thing.

Ranger stories  freak me out. My new friend  is a Ranger.  I can't wait to hear some of her stories

The ATF baited and entrapped Randy weavers into cutting a shotgun barrel shorter than the legal limit. They asked him multiple times for which he said no then finally took a hacksaw and cut a barrel down. He shuned his court date which elicited an HRT response since he was a former green beret. Agents showed up and without announcing they shot his dog. When they shot his dog Randy’s son was present and returned fire at the agents hitting and maybe killing one of them. They shot back and killed the boy 10 years old if I remember correctly. With an agent now hit the strong arm of the law came down on the innocent people at ruby ridge and they shot his wife in the head by a single sniper round from a scoped rifle while she was holding their infant son. Courts ended up awarding the weaver family hundreds of thousands of dollars in the wrongful deaths committed by our federal government. Not a single agent was reprimanded through this investigation and that is absolutely a failure of justice. The entire decision making ladder should have been fired and some should have gone to prison over this incident.
