Boogaloo

Thane Phillips, Jesse Devost, Sylvain Turcotte, Chris McNeil and other builders prepare for a trail night on Boogaloo circa 2008.

Before there were American “patriots” with aloha shirts and AR-15s, there were three BOOGALOO-obsessed Yukoners who were also armed to the teeth—but only with handsaws.

This is the story of how Mark Koepke, Jesse Devost and Thane Phillips became the leaders of a BOOGALOO movement that wasn’t scary at all. Except, maybe, for the long-gone overpass on an old cabin.

Apparently, that one’s up for debate.
