    Trying to weather a minnesota winter with a tarp, sleeping bag, and hammock is suicidal.

    Agreed. And suicide needn't be an explicitly, intentionally carried out act; it can be just looking for trouble while pretending you're not. Unfortunately, rough wilderness can be counted on for lending a hand in such murky cases.

    He probably planned to dig into the hill for the winter, but in the meanwhile, slept inside his sleeping bag, within the hammock. And Ol' Smokey was in hyperphagia, and thought he'd take a nibble in his head. Sleeping out like he did in the Fall within Bear Country was dumb, but he wanted to live dangerously like that.

    A few years ago in Saskatchewan, Canada....a man was drug out of his tent at night by a wolf. A neighboring camper heard the struggle and ran over to help. He ran at the wolf and full-force kicked it in the head and it ran off. You can't assume a wolf, cat, bear... isn't going to attack a sleeping person.

    Thanks for sharing this account..I own a few pet wolves and know and respect their abilities....They are very much a Jekyl / Hyde type of animal Seem very shy and cautious at times (and actually I believe this is a well thought out deception of their own to get you to underestimate them and drop your guard) And other times can be so bold you actually have to be prepared to defend your life to the point of death for them to respect you and back off. Now imagine a Wild one not socialized with humans. So many people think Wolves do not hunt attack or eat humans WRONG!

    Or just stumbled/fell, hit the head, got back into the hammok to recover some then bleeding out in the hammok. Sometimes the most mundane, ordinary, 'silly' explanation is the true explanation. Stupid things happens and sometimes the result is fatal. We tend to create myseries out of nothing simply because we don't know things for sure, that said, the most likely explanation tends to be the correct one. It is inheritedly dangerous to be out alone in adverse conditions. A gun does not help on freak accidents. Exposure kills and if bleeding out in the hammok effects of exposure accelerate. A freak accidentent may not involve any knifes... a sharp stick or stone in the ground can do the trick fine when putting your body weight on it, and this does not tore up your hammok or clothing. Leaving the hammok to pee, you may not care to put on your boots.

    As a guy who shaves with a straight razor I would say killing himself shaving with a knife is a ridiculous theory. To shave you only touch lightly and smooth it across, the worse you would get is a very bad nick on your skin. No way could you rip your jugular without cranking the knife really hard. Straight razors and knives were used for centuries and I have never in history heard of a person kill themselves shaving. On a side note, when whittling wood with a knife, only ever a super sharp knife and use light pressure and push away treating it cautiously as if you EXPECT it to slip. I've seen near misses with people pushing hard on blunt knives trying to get it to cut and thats what causes a catastrophic slip.

    You're not wrong, but if something were to surprise them, let's say a bird flies into the side of their head, while they're shaving their neck I could very easily see them jerking the razor and opening an artery. The problem with the shaving theory to my mind is that cutting an artery is a hell of a bloody mess and the jugular vein in particular has a tendency to literally spray a massive volume of blood for several feet. If this is what happened they wouldn't be finding a little blood here and a little blood there. It would be everywhere and if it happened away from his campsite he'd have never made it back to leave traces of blood there unless it was just a few steps away, which it wouldn't have been because he'd have still been hemorrhaging all over the place and been in no condition to crawl back into his hammock. Plus, his boots were still there.

    Well. You would actually be shocked to know more than a few people have died from shaving. However, it wasn't from cutting their jugular. Also, it was in the times before antibiotics. People have cut themselves and died from infections, and things like tetanus used to be a serious risk. Just an interesting tidbit. It doesn't refute or go against anything you said. I just thought I would insert some things from the strange collection of trivia facts stored in my head. lol

With a two handed axe you have your hands placed well apart on the haft and can control it well if it deflects. However, with hatchets (and machetes) since you only have one hand on the grip a deflection off a tough knot in the wood can fly dangerously astray -for example towards your lower leg

    I was harassed by a pack of 6-8 wolves for about an hour in August of 2017 on the hustler river about 1 mile south of finger lake. That's roughly 8.5 miles north of where Jordan was. They were spread out in a semi circle around us, 100-200 yards away inside the tree line. It seemed like they were sizing us up. They left us alone once we had a fire going. Where we were is an area seldom traveled due to the difficulty level. Don't believe what people say about wolves, if they feel they have an advantage and they're hungry you have a problem on your hands.

    This seems like a real possibility in this case. I don't even trust coyotes in a group of three or more. In 1998, a group of 4-5 coyotes shadowed my group of four deer hunters hiking into our starting position at 4:30 am in southeast Riverside County, CA for over a mile, barking snarling and keeping parallel to us, staying just out of sight. One on four seems like bad odds.

    My guess is that was not where he intended to leave it for the whole winter, but he knew he'd need to make multiple trips to carry all his stuff to the campsite, so he left it as close as he could possibly drive, with the intention of getting those garbage bags of stuff, then moving the truck to the parking lot, but he figured he could leave it at the gate for one night, but that was the night he ended up dying. What I find REALLY strange is that nobody opened up his truck to see what was in there all those months that he was missing before his bloody campsite was finally found.

Many times they would come into our camps at night. Also, any experienced outdoorsman knows that you don't keep food near your tent. You hang it to a tree branch. Everyone does that in bear country but this guy apparently kept food in his tent which is incredibly dumb. The first and most obvious thing that came to my mind was a bear but bears weren't mentioned once. The Boundary Waters is bear country! And, most ridiculous of all was the mention of bigfoot.

    Another viewer pointed out something I think is the best postulation on his death. He most likely slipped or tripped on something and busted his head open while also giving himself a concussion. He then decided to lay down in his hammock for a while and rest, waking up in a pool of his own blood. He decided he must try to get to his truck but was so out of sorts that he forgot his boots. He either slipped near the site or became severly light headed and passed out in the cold weather, dying of exposure or hypothermia. His life remains are found later and scavenged by wolves, which is indicated by the scat and paw prints. This explains why no knives were bloodied and his pistol unfired as he was not attacked so didn't mount any sort of defense. This also explains why his hammock and his shelter were still in good condition instead of ripped apart by animals. There is no way a pack of wolves gets a grown man out of a hammock without destroying it. No animal can. It would require three or four adult men to move a dead body out of a hammock and all of them, cougar, wolf, bear and human would require the tarp be torn or cut in order to lift him out of that hammock as it of the make with the formed sides and back rest so it doesn't flip or roll over.

I've had bobcats tail me through the woods. It ain't common, but it does happen. Just because they're small statute don't mean they ain't deadly. Also you must not have watched the video because he had a 9mm Berreta in the hammock next to him, with spare mags, and had 7 knives in the truck plus a couple on him. He was a knife aficionado. Which hence why again leads me to believe a cat might have been involved. They're sneaky animals. I've been stalked by a cougar once in my life (the 4legged kind) and I didn't even know she was behind till she jumped onto the trail from 15 yards away. I sent 2 .357s over its head and it took off.

    Touque covered in blood, tarp (A frame of "house) has blood spatter, (from a velocity blow) pillow has blood on it , sleeping bag has blood on / it it = head injury incurred while sleeping. Boots off = bedtime. Pants not covered in blood means no femoral artery was cut, plus the femoral artery is DEEP in the leg. A little whittling knife (found in the truck, not in the tent) would not cut the femoral artery unless driven in, but again, it was in the truck! No signs of blood. Facial arteries would not cause a person to bleed out if any pressure was put on them after being cut, but again, knives were in the truck, not the tent, so no shaving took place. Wolves do not cause blood SPATTER. Wolves cause blood streaks, drops, or small pools as the person lays bleeding out, yes, but SPATTER means velocity like a bat, gun, or other forceful strike. No time for Jordan to use the gun he had means someone/ something was able to get close, end him quickly, without a struggle and with a lot of force, due to blood spatter. This is MURDER, whether by sasquatch or human. (Although the human did not take a phone, gopro, or money, perhaps they just felt territorially threatened by having another male in the area). Cops need to re-open this case and actually investigate it. Get a forensic anthropologist in there to look at markings on bones (teeth marks vs knife marks, for example) and get a blood spatter analyst to look at the A framed tarp.

His body was then predated on by the animals that live in the area. Attacked by a human? I don’t imagine another human would be in the area, although possible. Sasquatch are extremely territorial. They remain elusive for good reason. Encroaching into their territory has screamed danger in many cases of encounters through time. A rock or a large blunt piece of wood could have been used by the Forest people in this case.

    In the whirlwind of life's chaotic parade, Where shadows lurk and mayhem is displayed, Each twisted tale whispers havoc, oh what a sight, In the realm of tumultuous wonders, where the wild takes flight. In the icy grip of the heart's savage dance, Find solace in chaos, give fury a chance. For greatness fades in love's dark tune, Where moonbeams hide and stars cower 'neath the moon. As time's clock goes tickety-tock, amidst the frenzied spree, It's not the numbers that rampage, but the frenzied glee. With each strike, each blow, life's frenzy finds its way, In each nonsensical clash, oh how we sway! Amidst the furious madness, where rage leaps and bounds, Stand tall in the tumultuous chorus, where the untamed resounds. For within the frenzied whirl, where fury rages and prance, Lies the wisdom of chaos, in the wild's frantic dance. In the whisper of shadows, where fears falter and fade, Remember, dear friend, it's the frenzy that leads the parade. For fear holds no sway when we revel in the fight, And darkness flees before the gleam of the untamed light. With every stumble upon the path of frenzy's sway, A journey unfolds, where tumult holds sway. In the bumbling of barbarians, in the warriors' savage show, Embrace chaos anew, and let the wilderness flow. In the depths of destruction, where shadows sway and sway, Only the bold can rampage, oh what a display! For in life's grand design, where the wild roams, Lies the furious frenzy of existence, where chaos looms. Within the halls of havoc, where chaos hollers and cheer, The tapestry of mayhem is woven, oh so clear. In the land of tumult, where the primal rules supreme, Resides the promise of chaos, in each tumultuous dream. Through chaos and calamity, amidst the frenzied throng, Success is but a whisper, failure a discordant song. It is the fury to the frenzy, the rage to sublime, That shapes our chaotic journey, in the untamed's prime. In a world of wrath and warfare, where the wild holds sway, To remain steadfastly frenzied is the grandest display. In a realm where mayhem seeks to dance, oh what a sight, The greatest triumph lies in the untamed's fierce fight. In life's grand doodle, where ferocity is the norm, The true essence of existence begins to form. In the relentless rampage of the chaotic riff, Where the untamed leaps and whirls, there lies life's true gift.

    The idea that injured himself outside of his hammock, took off his boots and climbed back into the hammock, then died of blood loss and was pulled out of the hammock and eaten by scavengers makes no sense for the same reason the idea that he was attacked by wolves in his sleep doesn't make any sense- they would have torn the hammock down trying to get at the body. The only plausible sequence of events is that something happened to him while he was sleeping that caused him to bleed inside the hammock, then he voluntarily got out of the hammock, left his boots behind (either in a panic or because he was compelled to leave them) and walked away from the tent before dying.

He might have got back in his hammock, but he would then becoming increasingly confused and uncomfortable. And at that point, he could have done anything.

The Missing Enigma separates itself from the crowd through professionalism, due diligence and sincerity, not to mention skipping all of the self-promotion that other channels seem to hold as a top priority. Hats off to you. Fan for life.

    This case is always intrigued me. Much like Mr Grider, I've spent the past 10 years living in the woods, (in hammocks identical to his setup) but always stay within earshot of a road. Never go too deep into any woods, stay on the periphery of a town or city. This guy had everything he needed, and was very well experienced, do not think you can outmaneuver the depths and unknowns of the woods.

    There are bears (black bears) in BWCA. Rather than wolves I'd think it could have been a bear. A bear could have grabbed him while he was sleeping, leaving the blood in the hammock, and simply pulled him out and finished him off outside the tent. That wouldn't necessarily have torn up the hammock. Black bear attacks are also rare, but not unknown.

    (This is kind of long) I was a Forestry and Wildlife Conservation major in College, and we took a month long trip to the BWCA in N. Minnesota. We were from out of State. We camped at an old logging camp with cabins, way out in the middle of nowhere. The first night, myself and a couple of others decided for only GOD knows why. To go walking in the woods, at night with no flashlights. No one knew where we went, as we weren't supposed to leave camp. You know unruly college kids. We didn't have cell phones in the early 90s. It was early fall, I want to say also in October, and bitter cold that night. The moon was bright. We got no more than, if even 1/4 mile from the cabins when we all heard what sounded like something really big pacing us to our right. It sounded extremely big and on two feet. But no way. SO..We stopped. It stopped. No one dared to say Sasquatch. I'm sure most of us didn't believe in them anyway. We decided it was a moose or elk or some big game animal like that. We didn't have a clue what animals lived in that region. Given the logging camp was only opened once a yr. for Forestry majors to stay at. (day trips for hands on learning) we figured it was just some big animal that noticed something new in the area. We quickly turned around and made our way back to the cabin. It was such a non incident, we didn't even talk about it amongst ourselves. That was the first night. A few days on, we visited an outriggers, and they distinctly warned us of bear and I want to say mt. lion or lynx I believe. That might have been when we went to Northern New Mexico and camped in the Rockies. IDK..was awhile back. I remember the bear warning most of all. That kind of shook those of us who took off walking in the forest alone that first night. We DID talk about it that night after visiting an outriggers. It was a single animal, and big. NONE of us were from an area that had large predators. We were highly stupid to take off wandering and so we remained good Forestry students after that and remained in our cabins at night. So after all that good for nothing story. Anyone remember the lady in Germany was camping, with a bunch of others, and she kept dreaming something was messing with her head. She didn't wake up, nor the others, but just kept dreaming something was messing with her head. Apparently, if I recall the story right. She finally DID wake and it was a damn fox chewing on her head. It snuck into camp and grabbed her by her head and I guess it tried to drag her away but obviously it couldn't, so it just chewed on her head. Why couldn't something like that have happened to this man? Something, I'm going with a bear, just sneak in while he's sleeping and bite down and drag him out. No time to do much, and wouldn't tear anything up, other than what he was wearing? I can't stress how often diff. people and places warned us of bears. We were warned of bear so much, it has to be a bear bulking up for winter that initially got him. Others scattered his remains after the bear had it's share?

    I've been to bwca in October, 13 years ago, not a place to go unprepared. I was fortunate to be there with an experienced woodsman, a good friend. It was an awesome experience, but only because of my friends expertise. I would not want to do it alone like my friend has done many times. Vast, stunningly beautiful area, we covered 25 miles of canoeing and 5 miles of portaging. Took 4 days. I thought we did something rather significant. When we got back to the outfitters i once again surveyed our map, then looked up to compare it to a wall mural map which showed our little map, and 30+ other maps just like ours that were adjoining and all part of the larger bwca area. We had barely scratched the surface. It is a true wilderness, to be respected,and treasured. So glad to have done it. Not sure i could do it again.

    Im convinced that he succumbed to blood loss or infection on the ground near the tent. He wouldn’t have his bones scattered and clothes shredded if otherwise. Coyotes and then buzzards. The giveaway for me was the half used aid kit and the half bottle of cheap vodka in the tent. He may have found a dryer half dead tree far from camp he may have mis-swing while holding logs to spilt into firewood it happens all the time and not uncommon for someone to lose a finger doing that. With temperatures dropping so quickly he may have been unable to start that truck if the battery was old. We have no evidence to say that the truck was recently serviced or had a new battery put in. He may have returned to camp and dressed the wound but his tent and clothes would have been covered in bacteria from working so much prior and eating in the hammock. These type of infections usually lead to swelling and an intense burning sensation. Its possible that blood infections killed him. I know the amount of blood may not seem like a lot but from the pools they photographed it seemed he was bleeding alot. When we shoot a deer with a gun or bow sometimes there will be a small red pool of blood right where the projectile impacted the animal. It will look like a water balloon filled with blood was dropped on the ground. Then there will be drops of blood falling along where the animal traveled. Finally when you find the body it will have a larger puddle of blood under it. They show 3 separate locations where large pools of blood. The police work was not really thorough. They only dna tested the bones not the blood stains. Jordans blood? Animal blood? The blood of an attacker? Who fucking knows because the cops decided it wasn’t worth testing. They also never listed so many items in the report but i guess the guy who said blood didnt need to be tested for dna also probably said that knives are not a relevant piece of evidence in a scene with large amounts of blood and no obvious other weapons. Also its easier for cadaver dogs to smell through snow than it is through wet ground, water traps scent particles that the dog would need to smell in order to find him. Snow on the ground is made from lots of tiny ice crystals with air between them. The smells will stick to the outside of the ice crystal they dont become lost until you guessed it THE SNOW MELTS. I hate hearing about these lackadaisical police investigators who’s work ethic more closely resembles your average minimum wage fast food teenage employee and not a public servant earning an average salary of $90,000 usd.

    I think people are overthinking the "accidental cut" theory. Like okay, he probably wasn't shaving and there was no whittled wood around. But what about just *dropping* the thing? Just one little fumble of a super-sharp knife that just happens to fall in a particularly bad spot. The way I see it, he could have been in the hammock, decides to take a look at a knife for whatever reason, pulls it out, and accidentally drops it on himself. He's already holding the sheath because he *just* pulled it out, so he swipes the knife clean on something and puts it back into the sheath. It wouldn't take any additional time to do that; plus if he'd just cut himself, he might have thought it was a good idea not to leave the knife unsheathed while he ran around trying to save himself (and risk a second accident). Just a freak accident.

    my friend fell off his bike when we were riding home after a little club tour. He hit his head pretty hard. I said let's go to the hospital just to be sure. But he said everything was fine and he wanted to come home. Because his girlfriend was already waiting. He didn't actually have any major injuries, nothing. The next day I got a call from his girlfriend, which I didn't expect. She woke up in the morning and he was lying next to her in bed as normal. When they tried to wake him up, they noticed that he was unresponsive and extremely cold. Unfortunately he died in his sleep from a brain hemorrhage and never woke up again. Head injuries cannot be ignored. REST IN PEACE. My friend. That's how I could imagine it in this case too. And later a bear, wolf, whatever pulled him out of the hammock. Or maybe he wasn't lying in it at all but on the ground in his tent? In any case, very sad, the only consolation was that he was able to die at home. R.I.P.

    I’d like to add something. I have no idea what happened, but as far as knives being sheafed, you really don’t know what you will do in an emergency. At 19 I had a hand accident in my dad’s basement with a table saw, and despite my injury and all the blood, I was told later that I turned around and unplugged the saw from the wall because the rule was to never leave a powered tool plugged in because I had young siblings. I had no memory I did this, but the evidence was there from the blood and the fact the saw was unplugged. So lesson here is sometimes people are capable of doing things that don’t seem that important to the emergency event at the time, but were important in other situations. If he had an accident with a knife, he could have easily put it back where it belonged because that just might have been what he always did. He may not have been in panic mode.
