Description
We are headed out to the Jarsey! This week, Kelsey and Jenna discuss the legend of the North Pond Hermit, which is the true story of Christopher Knight. This very interesting story of a secluded man who lived in the woods of Maine for 27 years!! Chris would live alone in the wilderness for as long as he chose to out there, never seeing anyone and never letting himself be seen. He was finally caught in 2013 stealing food from a local camp, like he'd done for almost 3 decades. He learned how to truely survive during unforgiving winters, lifting supplies where he could, and living a peaceful life in the meantime. Please remember to be safe out there!
