Pipe bombs, guns, kayaks, and chloroform. Anytime a news story contains all of those items, you know it will be crazy as hell. This story does not disappoint.
First, only about half of the reports mention the chloroform. The woman who called the cops said she found a bottle of chloroform, and some pipe bombs. After everything else, the chloroform is just an afterthought.
This guy’s plan was to head to Alaska, then take an inflatable kayak through the Bering Sea, and then make his way to the Philippines where his new wife lived. It is 5200 miles. A very fit person can kayak like 17 miles per day. Maybe you could get 25-30 with currents, and maybe constant going. It would take like half a year to get to the Philippines. The dude did not have a half a year worth of food and water packed.
He had guns and pipe bombs. Which he was going to use against sharks and pirates. Oh, and he packed liquor in case he ran into some Russians. You want to know why this hero was trying to escape America? He had a trial for something coming up in Texas. He was arrested in Washington, trying to get to Alaska, and he is from Arkansas.
Please make this into a movie.
