And one of the people we were working with, we didn't realize was a drug addict and not really sure what he was addicted to.

But we were basically, because of a storm, our supply boat was cut off.

So every few days we were meant to be getting supplies with food and fuel and all kinds of things.

What we didn't realize is that that boat was also delivering his drugs.

Drugs.

And while he was on the drugs, he was actually pretty functional.

And he didn't get those drugs and started to, yeah, go pretty mad.

And it started out sort of, oh, that was a weird thing that he just said.

And then it kind of escalated and he started making threats.

And then he snapped and jumped on one of our team and was trying to...

uh, strangle her.

And, um, yeah, another one of the team managed to get her off and I get him off.

And, uh, we were in polar bear country, so we, you know, we carry shotguns.

So there's just a lot of, you know, I, I remember at one point looking at this situation with, yeah, him trying to get to her and, uh, at my feet, there was a, a, a shotgun for the polar bears and, uh, uh, uh, a paddle for a standup paddle board.

And I was like, okay,

what am I gonna pick here?

And then I was like, I'm just gonna use my words.

And yeah, it all got very, very scary.

And I ended up, well, we ended up managing to distract him

get her away, I won't name her, get her away and sort of separate the two of them.
