The Unorganized Township of Bootstuck
The Unorganized Township of Bootstuck is a documentary-style audio descent into a place that shouldn't exist—but very much insists that it does.
Once a forgotten military outpost in the depths of Northern Ontario, Bootstuck has taken on a life of its own. Discovered only through a pile of mislabeled cassette tapes at a Sudbury garage sale, the story of Bootstuck slowly unravels through scattered interviews, cryptic clues, and increasingly bizarre residents. The deeper you listen, the more you realize — this isn't just a town. It's a puzzle. And somewhere in that puzzle?
A plane crash that changed everything.
Somewhere between folklore, found audio, and fever dream, Bootstuck blurs the line between documentary and delusion—offering listeners a place to get lost in, over and over again.

Tape 2 - "A Toggle Woggle?"
Tape 2 is mostly a wash of static—until Hat Guy cuts through the noise. Twice. Both interviews offer little in terms of geography but reveal flickers of life in Bootstuck. One conversation unfolds ov…
Tape 1- "A Box of Tapes ( Joining the Conversation Midway)"
