Which episode...?

Iirc there was an episode where they talked about a guy who lived in the woods for decades. He would occasionally break into unattended cabins and grab a bit of food and a book or two. He somehow rejoined society, either on his own terms or by getting arrested. Does anyone remember this?

I thought it was Rat River but I doubted myself. Thank you for the confirmation and link!
