Hello, I'm really walking back to another episode of Casual Criminalist, the mad trapper of Ratt River,

0:04.1

a cop killer manhunt, and a title that is a mouthful. Thank you, Kevin, who wrote this,

0:08.5

this, this is a show where I've never read this before. We're going to explore it together if

0:13.0

you're new here. Welcome, thank you. And let's just jump in, shall we?

My favorite part of being in the Boy Scouts was all the camping trips we got to go on.

1:26.7

of a week-long summer camp that we attended, which meant that there were various facilities
