Eric Frein's newly uncovered YouTube channel shows the alleged cop-killer had a fascination with survivalist prepping techniques, assault rifle ballistic tests and war games.
Posting under the username 'Vucko,' which means little wolf in Serbian, Frein uploaded two military reenactment videos featuring a column of Serbian-clad infantrymen performing maneuvers in the woods, PA Homepage.com reported.
Frein, 31, is a founding member of the Eastern Wolves reenactors, whose focus is Serbian forces from the 1990s Yugoslav Wars. The roughly-cut videos were taken by Frein in June 2012 at Lehigh Valley Paintball's compound in Hatfield, Pa., and in 2010 at E.T. Paintball Park in Netcong, N.J.
And despite the authentic look, none of the participants were actually Serbian.
'Not a single one of us is Serb. Just crazy Americans,' Frein wrote on YouTube.

A self-described survivalist, Frein has been hiding out in the woods since his alleged ambush at a Pennsylvania police barracks that killed Cpl. Bryon Dickson, 38, and critically wounded Trooper Alex Douglass on Sept. 12.
The manhunt for Frein is now in its 25th day and encompasses the entire Pocono Mountain region in eastern Pennsylvania, forcing police to comb through steep and heavily wooded terrain.
That vast hiding ground looks eerily similar to the war-gaming fields Frein once roamed, a dress rehearsal for his latest cat-and-mouse game with authorities.
The vast compounds, which feature defensive structures, rolling hills and woodlands, are used by paintball enthusiasts and war gamers. Frein's unit used airsoft rifles, which are replica firearms that fire rubber pellets and are favored by reenactors looking for more intense gameplay.
Frein's YouTube channel has just 29 subscribers and was last used one year ago when he posted an anti-Semitic rant on a review of the Matt Damon sci-fi film 'Elysium.'
'Jesus came to claim all people, not just Jews,' Frein wrote. 'The old testament is done with and Judaism died theologically on Pentecost. Christian are the new Jews, the new Israel. Those who call themselves Jews today are the pathetic continuation of the Pharisees, the people who rejected the Messiah because what he preached challenged their position and wealth.'
