>>2187236I'll share an incident that happened to a buddy during my 2012 AT thru-hike
>Buddy and 3 others set up camp on a bald in Tennessee >Tents are far enough from the road that it's at least a mile hike but close enough to see cars >T. Comfy guys in respective tents>Late by hiker standards so probably 9 or 10 pm>Cue sound of truck barreling down road>Buddy thinks nothing of it>Can see some faint truck lights close by that soon disappear>Next thing he knows he hears yelling outside the tent>Comes out to see your typical mentally ill tennessean>Kook screams "WHERE ARE THE GUNS WHERE ARE THE DRUGS?" >uwotm8>Kook pulls out gun>"GET ON THE GROUND ALL OF YOU IM THE GAME WARDEN WHERE ARE THE DRUGS WHERE ARE THE GUNS">Ohshid>Kook probes their tents while keeping the gun on them>Kook is erratic >Kook doesn't find anything in tents>Kook standing their gun on Buddy>Kooks at armlength>Ballsofsteelbuddy: my chance.png>Buddy smacks the gun from his hand>Two of fellow campers are ex-coast guard or some shit>Army strong Bois disassemble the weapon>They get kook on his back>The madmen grab some Paracord and hogtie the mongoloidCops are called and it turns out the guy used to be a pastor and got fucking electrocuted a year prior I guess it fried his brains and not only turned him violent but also zapped him full of a voracious opiate addiction
I was probably 10-20 miles north of them and they were telling that story all the way up to Katahdin
