Mountain man scares owners of remote Utah cabins

[Old Fart]

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — He's eluded authorities for more than five years, a mountain man who roams the wilderness of southern Utah, breaking into remote cabins in winter, living in luxury off hot food, alcohol and coffee before stealing provisions and vanishing into the woods.

Investigators have clawed for clues, scouring cabins for fingerprints that match no one and chasing reports of brief encounters only to come up short, always a step behind the mysterious recluse.

They've found abandoned camps, dozens of guns, high-end outdoor gear stolen from the homes and trash strewn around the forest floor.

I wonder if he's on Twitter.

Why are they scared? He is obviously trying to avoid them. WTF is wrong with people??

I'd sure be pissed if he got any of my guns ... And I'd sit for months and months in a cold, dark cabin to catch his hairy arse to get them back ... just saying ...

Yeah, the only thing that I think people need to be afraid of is accidentally coming home while he is there. That seems like it could end badly. One thing cabin owners could do would be agree to live in their cabins full time in the winter so this guy has no where warm to go that is un-inhabited and he'd freeze to death.

Or he'd kill and eat them for invading "his" warm winter quarters...hmmm....maybe I've watched too many cheesy horror films

Wonder how many cabins are up there.

Surely they've set up bait houses, right?
