This is a link to a news article about a modern "Mountain Man"
http://news.yahoo.com/survivalist-surrenders-lawmen-utah-mountains-072302677.html

Guys been a fugitive for over 5 years. Living in mountain camps and breaking into cabins daring the winter.
Thought some one might find this interesting.

Judging by the mug shot, I'd opine he's got a thing for mountain goats as well.

Seriously though, less of a mountain man more of a freakishly red-haired and well armed modern day version of Goldilocks.

Bring on the ginger jokes!

I just think its an interesting human interest peace. But I am pretty sure this guy will not, be getting any awards for looks or smarts.

Even in Utah?

Yep, I have actually ran into a few real good looking girls in Utah. But that's how they try to trap you into there religion.

Surrendered when he realized he could die... Seems it was good police work and a commitment to capture instead of kill the criminal.

A burglar/thief resisting arrest really doesn't send that Mountain Man ethos as much as a sense of anti-social criminality. YMMV.

Not a role model to be emulated IMHO.

Gracias,

As an ex-LDS (even had the temple recommend) excommunicated person who still has family in that faith I think this is could turn really inappropriate very easily. Can we agree to let this part of the thread stop here?

That damned Osmond Family honey trap again! Of course the lingerie leaves a lot to be desired and even more to be vaguely guessed at from what I've heard.

Never fear Glenn, quite a lot of decent folk have been banned from TMP.

A religion? In Utah?

Nevertheless...it's an interesting story.

Pretty big commitment to take him alive given he did fire on Police at different stages.

British police seem to have a thing about punching in holes in anyone even if they are suspected of being armed

Oh totally the man shouldn't be emulated at all, but i just think it was an interesting character if nothing else. When I lived on the Idaho/Washington border. We would have Vagabond, or survivalist types come back into town on occasion. Stank to high haven.
And I am not knocking LDS dude. I Also got family who are LDS (Mom). Just pointing out my experience in dating a few girls from the wards.

Well, if it was the LAPD chasing after someone with the initials CD.......

I remember the story from that first report back in Oct. Glad they caught him.
