Some stuff about me? OK!
I'm Jeremy Knudsen (he/him) and it's pronounced Kanootsen but people get it wrong all the time haha. I'm a 28 year old park ranger, occasionally working at Yellowstone, Wyoming as well as some others.
I'm an introvert at heart who spends lots of time alone, save for my ridiculous but loving boyfriend Damien and my two sweet little rabbits named Fudge and Cardamom.
I like this website. The people here are so nice and supportive, so thank you to my fellow Pandas!
Feel free to chat with me at any time about anything, I'd be honoured to help you in any way I can.

My mum always told us that her mum (my grandmother) had died when she was 4 and that her brother was still born. Anyway, after my mum died, my dad just casually told us YEARS LATER that actually my grandmother had run off, taking her son with her and abandoned my mum when she was four, so I probably still have an uncle somewhere out there.walkyoucleverboy reply
My mum was kidnapped as a child. ETA: she’s told me I’m not allowed to say anything more than that 😂 but it’s not a case anyone would’ve heard of before anyone gets too curious. It was definitely a WHAT THE F**K moment for me however.BudgieLord reply
My uncle was (technically) a hitman. He got paid to kill someone back in the 80's. He was released from prison at some point in the 2000's, I forget exactly when. I got curious about it so Googled his name and what'd been done and found a nice little article about it Dad had also gone to prison, around the same time as my uncle, for about 8 or 9 years for "iron bar and axe attacks" Fun family.RaspberryWonderful16 reply
Not my family but me and a friend found out through the ancestry website that his grandfather had a second family in the Philippines where he was frequently stationed with the army back in the day. We kept finding an entry somebody had made on their family tree that matched his details, but we just ignored it thinking it was a coincidence. Eventually we looked at it. What gave it away Some of his kids over there even had the same names as his kids here. If he had chosen different names we wouldn’t have noticed and he might have got away with it!JimXVX reply
That my great grandfather took his own life. Shellshock from WW1 as far as anyone knows. He was a farmer so had access to guns; just walked out into a field one day and shot himself.Adept-Confusion8047 reply
My dad's uncle blew himself up with dynamite on his front porch like 50 years ago....does that count? My dad tells it as a funny story...that crazy uncle.wholesomechunk reply
Always thought we were descended from vikings, the family name is the same as a Viking settlement/village near us, turns out grandad, who looked Italian-black hair and olive skin-was abandoned at the settlement as a newborn by Irish travellers who were passing and was named after the village. I found this out in my fifties, which was a surprise.Reddit post
My Granddad planned to rob a bank with his mates, but when they climbed up onto the roof, the police were already there waiting for them. Ranger Kanootsen • is following 18 people
