The ice storm, inconsistent giantism, cannibalism, and undead aspects of the wendigo story actually remind me very much of the Norse Draugr legends. With draugr, the giant growth is either temporary magical shapeshifting, or an illusion, and so there might be a parallel–they LOOK like a giant until you engage them, and then you realize that they are normal size, shrouded in illusion. They also smell horrible, like the wendigo is supposed to.
Saying that black bears and wolves don’t “usually” kill humans is different from saying they never do so. Black bears have indeed hunted and killed humans, and folk stories are full of the human terror of wolves for a reason — wolves sometimes kill people. If they did not they wouldn’t be featured in Grimm;s fairy tales. If they have not been known to do so in Minnesota, it may have more to do with the rarity of a wolf pack encountering a lone sleeping human than because of any disinclination to kill humans. Either of these known animals is more likely than resorting to a supernatural explanation from an entity not proven to actually exist.
As a Michigander, You pronouced 'Sault Saint Marie' correctly as a native living here. Detroit is French too but we have not called it 'Day-t'wa' in centuries. Sorry not sorry Frenchmen and women. Pronounce the state name in the First Nation's language correctly and we will talk. (Michigan is 'Mich-e-gami')
Mattis just made one of the best sponsor transitions yet, by throwing Magic Spoon as a possible solution to the Wendigo's hunger. Why, we all know WendigOON is crazy for Magic Spoon. Why can't his cousin, the wendigo, enjoy it too? ✨
Numb fingers from the cold and reduced fine motor skills do not bode well for anyone trying to use a blade. A sharp knife probably wouldn’t get blood on it and a quick cut might not even be felt immediately. Using a cap and direct pressure might give enough time to process some better bandages. A decision to get help and a failed try for the truck wraps up the mystery.
So, I grew up in Northern Minnesota and I've been to Boundary Waters many times and honestly it sounds like he accidentally woke up a bear. Had a mama bear and two cubs demolish my entire Dutch pack while I watched them from my canoe one time. The bears are actually much less wary around humans than the timber wolves are and both are very aware that we carry/are delicious food. I know it's not as exciting as a Wendigo but bear is the most likely culprit.
You’ve mentioned it before in other videos, but I think cultural influence also needs to be considered here. If you grow up hearing legends, tales, warnings, and scary bedtime stories about people who consume human flesh ending up as crazed, eternally-hungry monsters obsessed with cannibalism, and then you find yourself struggling through a harsh winter, one of your party dies, you do what you feel is necessary… those stories, that predisposition you already have is going to work heavily upon you. I don’t find it far-fetched at all to think that some native people, after resorting to cannibalism in an act of desperation, due to a weird, extreme case of what amounts to a placebo effect, ended up acting like Wendigos, in a sense truly becoming a Wendigo, because their subconscious told them they should become a Wendigo.

11:16 EEE LEE. I’m a Minnesota Also, I’ve always said it was a moose that got him. I’d rather run into a grizzly than a moose.
"The ever useless RCMP" coming from a family that is majority made up of RCMP officers, I couldn't agree more 😂
I'm pretty sure the plural of Windago is a Windagi…
When do we get the story time with Mattis channel?
56:00 you pronounced it the same way I've heard it pronounced my entire life as a michigander. Funny you couldn't pronounce Mackinac right though lol
City folk should stay out of the woods
Actually from the description of tbe wendigo sounds like its mummified

Those strips of cloth were most definitely planned to be used as bathroom wipes.

So the hero sodomized the wendigo with a spear
Don't forget a wendigo can also be an evil spirit that can drive a person to cannibalism

Pro tip: when hiking in the Appalachians, take some Magic Spoon Treat with you – just in case you meet a Wendigo (or Wendigoon).

Anyone who skips the history portion is a probably well meaning but horrifically demented and defective person
