Maybe they better not cast this guy on Naked & Afraid, but seems like he could fare pretty well on Alone.

Might be a pervert, but definitely a baw. This is every Cajun's bugout bag dream. Maybe History Channel needs to run a Louisiana swamp season instead of up in Canada. How long do you think you could last living off the land in the Swamp? What would be your 10 items? No guns or mosquito spray

A man who was wanted for sex crimes was arrested after he was found living in a Louisiana swamp, surrounded by homemade traps, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a news release Monday afternoon.
quote:
On March 12, the U.S. Marshals Middle Louisiana Fugitive Task Force received an anonymous tip that Schaller was “possibly living deep in the Louisiana swamp,” in the Sherburne Wildlife Management Area in the Atchafalaya Basin, east of Lafayette, according to a news release.
quote:
After a one-mile infiltration into the wilderness by authorities, Schaller was found at an encampment on March 14, the release said. The structure he was living in was constructed from tree limbs, tarps and a parachute cord, and had several game traps near the area made from paracord and small limbs. Authorities also said Schaller had an early warning system made of string and aluminum cans.
Schaller told investigators he had been living off the land, including small game and rodents, since around January.

One mile in isn’t “deep in the swamp”…that’s a walk to the deer stand.

I wonder how many criminals there are, that we don’t know about, that are hiding out in swamps and stuff down here.

May have been a criminal but this dude either watched a ton of survial shows or was an Eagle scout, or both.

Not only a perv, but this guy is an idiot.
Likely forfeit his bond.
He was spending harder time in the swamp than he would have spent in prison - and none of that time counts.
And all he had to do was comply with his offender registry requirements and avoid all of this!
OTOH, it gives us all a laugh at the complete stupidity.
Hopefully, nobody was harmed during this foolishness.

I would be able to last 5 minutes after the mosquitos showed up.

I do not think this was much of a feat. Two months is not long and it is pretty stupid to only go a mile deep and to stay in the same state where you are wanted is equally stupid.
You go somewhere like the ND=Montana border where local authorities may not be as motivated to use their resources to hunt you. Or go to Slab City, Ca and you also get some road strange but then you have to add penicillin to your shopping list. And one trip to Walmart could keep you fed for a half year if you knew how to make a fire and did not mind cheap canned food and rice.
