I'm 60 and have been solo hunting and camping in the deep woods since I was 10. Bigfoot is the last thing I'm worried about at this point. There's far stranger things than that out in the wilderness where nobody goes. Much stranger. Often it's the place itself that's not right. Follow your gut feeling. I just don't talk about what I see or have seen. I think whatever separates this reality from somewhere/something else is thinning and increasingly allows passage both directions in certain areas at certain times.

When I hear someone say, they were scared out of their mind over something…I feel like, they don’t really understand what that means.

I had many different paranormal experiences in my life. I'm pretty vocal about it because that subject is just so interresting to me. Found out that the more you speak about it, the more people will loosen up and at least one out of two people have (somewhere in their lives) lived trough something they can't explain. Little tips : - ALONE Always speak about it when you are alone with someone or else social pressure will have the best of them and they'll mob against you or dismiss your speach. A single person on the other hand has nothing to loose opening up to you. - STAY CALM Just tell your story as calmly as possible without asking questions or crying or screaming. When you're done the other person will A. Give you a look of disbelief and you should avoid the subject further on with this person. B. Tell you (at least) that they believe you and (sometimes) come up with their own stories (or the one of someone they know). - YOUR AUDIENCE Choose the right time and the right target. I don't think that speaking about UFO (for an example) with a bunch of moms in a kids park is the right time nor the right place nor the right audience... On the countrary, almost 100% of hospitals staffers like nurses and janitors believe in ghosts or the after life (and Oh Boy they got plenty to tell about it !).... - last tip : Alcool helps ! 😅 People loose their boundaries under the influence, so a late partyer is probably going to listen to you.

It pays to pay attention to your intuition. He felt uneasy with the empty tent, had a sense of foreboding that something bad was going to happen even before he arrived at the camp, and felt he was being watched while at the site but he still decided to camp there. He ignored all the signs that this was not the place to camp in rememberance of his wife.

And one more thing - if he felt he was hearing a Bigfoot that would not be as frightening as hearing a grizzly because Bigfoot is not very much known for attacking humans but just leaving them be in their tents until morning, at least that is what most of these stories relate.

I am always encouraged when I hear that someone who had such an experience TOLD SOMEBODY. I think too many people are afraid of ridicule and would rather DIE than be mocked by their peers. But he didn't ask for it, wasn't looking for it, and yet it HAPPENED. I have much respect for those who speak truth, regardless of the consequences. My heartfelt condolences to you, Rodney. You seem like a man of real character. God bless you, and keep speaking truth, brother!!

Chris, you are such a compassionate story teller; you have a real gift.❤️🇨🇦 This man really had a very terrifying experience; thank goodness he was well armed; clearly they didn’t want him there and wanted him gone. Thank goodness he wasn’t harmed.

Another great story Chris. I had to go turn on a couple of lights. I've camped solo for years and sometimes your mind will play tricks especially being out alone. I sleep easier now that I have two dogs. If I hear something and they don't freak, then 'Im ok. I've had a couple of really strange occurrences but was able to explain them in the morning once I had a chance to look around. Your informant clearly believes what he experienced. The empty tent should have been a clue. Someone else left in a hurry and decided to skip breaking down the tent.

Thanks Chris. So sad he lost his wife, that must be devastating. Great story about the Bigfoot though. Coming so close to complain of his presence in 'their' territory, but he'd been there lots of times! That's odd. I wonder what the story was with the abandoned tent? Probably similar!

Big foot would be very scary but it seems they just want to scare you away! One thing never throw things back at them because you are asking for mor terrifying happenings. They will chase you and throw bigger stones at you at amazing speeds. You can make them mad and they really would be unpredictable. Now a Bear is not the same thing! They are extremely dangerous. They def are not afraid of killing you and drawing attention they don’t think like that they are not concerned with anything they just come after you if they choose to! You really have a problem if the bear comes after you! Bear Spray discourages them but you better have a place picked out to get to safety. Always lock car doors they will get in your car easily and tear it apart! They look for food that drives them on!

I have heard that scream as well. It was 30 yards away down in a ravine. I lived at that very spot for some years and worked fire clearing all around the area. Cougars, bears, bobcats, etc. all came through at one point or another. The screams sounded like a woman being brutally murdered. I ended up having to call the rangers and law enforcement. But there were no signs of anything. They knew and trusted me but that call got me some funny looks. In 2004 I came across a hairy man creature on the other side of the mountain. I didn't immediately connect the two.

Elephants seem to be very compassionate and polite “ beings” ; they may not have opposable thumbs, but they deserve our respect.

We SHOULD are-evaluate our assumptions and should feel ASHAMED by the way people have treated other compassionate, intelligent beings that we SHARE this planet with… the atrocities committed against them, breaks my heart.

What a terrifying event for Rodney at such an emotional time in his life. The feeling that there is nothing else to do but wait for daylight. In a way reflects to his state of mind, I thought.

Sorry, hit wrong button. When I bought my cabin, my dog (a Yorkie, not a big dog for protection) were the only ones up there. We went for a hike, and I literally walk into their habitat. Yeah that feeling of being watch was so intense, I got the heck out of there. Still did not know about them at that time. Moving many years later and after research, I now know all about them. It is the most eye opening experience you will ever have. EVER. So once again my new dog and I were again alone at the cabin. I had invited the Xanue pronounced Jon nu, to visit me at the cabin. My bathroom lights fuse was blown so I had a small battery lantern in there. Middle of the night, had to go. As I walked into the bathroom, before turning on the lantern,. There on the floor was a big Orb. It disappeared. I told it to come back. Oh it did alright. First thing in the morning. I had just woken up when I had a growl in the cabin. The bigfoot was cloaked. It then told me it's name. I, of course was frightened at first, but it left because it knew I was frightened. I have had many experiences since then. There are 3 different kinds of bigfoot. The Xanue ,(the good ones). The Treykon ( the bad ones, they will kill you and eat you). And the XuXiku (fallen angels, they are bad too.). What you experienced up by Monte was the Xanue. They are para-normal and can cloak. They are more human looking. They came to our planet because their planet was dying. We can connect and I can teach you all about them if you would like,. They will then know you and protect you from any harm when you are in the forest. Also what one knows, they all know. I could tell you stories for hours,. It is so amazing, like I said it will change your life for the better. They have brought me to God. God has asked them to help our human race to learn to reconnect with God. I also have eye witnesses who have seen them in my house. I also have videos of my Guardian Angel in my house. And for the none believers,. That's Ok,. Because they don't know what they are missing out on. Happy Squatchin

@@basecampchris I have to say that ghosts and Sasquatch are both on the same level of not being physical beings. Well, not by our standards of physicality. There have been numerous sightings of these entities we call Bigfoot. Many sighting are by hunters and other armed people. Throughout all of the years of these sightings, we should have the physical evidence to no doubtedly proove their existence. But we don't. I guarantee that these entities are supernatural, interdemensional beings such as Skinwalkers and. YES. UFO'S AND ALIENS. Kind of hard to kill something that is here, but isn't here, in our realm of existence. At this point in time, there is alot that the general population doesn't know or understand.

I spent 6 months living off the land in the Salmon River wilderness. The only time I felt scared was when a ranger walked into my camp. He turned out to be a great old guy. He had homemade dandelion wine. We got drunk and passed out by the campfire.

But I honestly wouldn't go back to that same area knowing that all that happened to me in just one night... Usually that's a huge message from the Bigfoot- Sasquatch. It's simply because they don't want you there in their area. It's a real blessing that they were not super aggressive with this gentleman and physically chased/ ran him out of the woods. In other words those were just warnings to him to get out and stay out of their area. Believe you, me I know this from personal experience!!

Same way in the UP of Michigan, pitch black. And the stars are oh so brilliant...

Mountain lions (and Florida panthers) scream like that. I've heard them 2-3 times, also saw and heard one growl from about 10-12 feet away behind our Army tent (the kind of sound that makes everyone jump inside their tent no questions asked and not go back out again until daylight). Seen the tracks in fresh snow; their shape, stride, and habit unmistakable. Quiet, sensitive, observant people (like myself) can always 'feel' when they are watching (i.e. stalking) us. How I survived my several experiences with them is miraculous. I also camped out in the open (no tent) in the remotest depths of the Okefenokee Swamp, the first night in the wild surrounded by huge alligators lurking just a few feet away, grunting so loudly and persistently that I could not sleep. And the worst part is that they would stop and become dead quiet every time I lifted my head trying to see in the inky darkness. So they too were watching very closely and probably hungrily. Another thing: Mountain lions usually hang around good water sources like creeks, rivers and swamps.

Yes! Raccoons can make the awfulest sounds when fighting. I had gone out to my garage to get something around 11:00 at night. When I heard the awfulest growling & screeching coming from the back of it!( scared the hecout of me!) I ran into the garage, closed & locked.the door. I was terrified!). After a few mins I started to laugh. I realized it was only a group of young racoons, fighting over the ripe pears in our tree, back there.( made me feel foolish!).

As more encounters happen, more people will become aware of Sasquatches and they need to be respected just like bears, moose, elk or anything in the wild.

Good personage connectably friendly relatable person . I'm listening to you...

Super scary!! I won't go camping anytime soon. 😮. I find his story to be credible and I think it takes courage to tell a story like this. Alot of people are naysayers and laugh at such things. It's taking a risk for people to not think one is wacko. I've had a couple of paranormal experiences in my life and am real careful who I talk about them too. 😊. Another great story Chris!!! Stay safe!! ❤️

I like the short clips of the scenes around you as you are speaking. It is like being there with you and looking around as we listen to the story.

Just love the good clean storytelling, the gorgeous cutaways to the beautiful views, you bring in the music in a wonderful subtle way, all brings back the best memories of my life camping for a month at a time every summer in the Northern Rocky mountains with my Dad off trunk and ranger roads.❤. Of course the beer is the cherry on top! 😂. Only had one truly eerie experience, have never forgotten. I was about 11yo, knew something was there we’d hiked about 2 miles up a trail off a trunk road…my Dad said “lets go”…we kids didn’t question and we left quickly. 40 years later and it’s fresh in my mind. As a former entertainment television producer, for your interviews, before you start the recording, just tell the subject--- I’m just going to let you tell the story, I will not interrupt unless there’s a need for clarity, in that case I’ll stop you. Because this is not a conversation, but a recounting of an experience there will be pauses and breaks some times by the subject and that’s ok. If you let the subject know you won’t interrupt then they will just keep going at their pace. You can always do edits later. You can tell them, when I get into production I may make an edit or two just to speed things up. Normally an interviewer will stay completely silent while a person recounts their tale, but I think your occasional grunts and singular exclamations work. Just tell the subject I may make a sound but unless I tell you to stop telling your story, don’t. I hope this is helpful, not critical, you’re doing an amazing job, just pointers on interviewing techniques that allow for editing and make the subject fluent in their retelling. Stay blessed!!

Chris, Love, the way you are doing your stories now, where you talk about it somewhat, and then you have the actual person talking about what happened to them in real time. Thank you again.

I just love this.....your open minded approach to these incidents people tell you about....I for one appreciate you! Glad you survived all that crazy weather! Nice to be back outside with you ☺

Great storytelling!! Just came across your videos recently and find them very entertaining! When i was younger , im in my 60s now, i would solo camp out on an island on a river that wasnt too far from my place ! I would take my boat and tent out there for a night or two! Never had any problems and figured something or someone would have to swim or boat out to it and i would hear them! Loved the peacefullness and getting a nice fire going! I did bring my hand gun with me but never had to use it!! Eventually brought my soon to be wife out to the campsite and nine months later had our first child!! Keep up the great videos!!

Great stories, Chris! I happened upon your channel in December and got hooked! I started back at the first Bigfoot story and listened to each one (and a few ghost stories as well). I enjoyed it so much that I had my daughter, home from college, listen to one while we did a puzzle. She said they were too scary because of the dramatic pauses and how you told the story; it built too much suspense. :D This new thing of including the call at the end of the video is super cool. At first, I thought it would be redundant because you already tell the stories so well, what else is there? But it does add a richness to it to hear that real person tell what happened, and I love all the varying accents. Thanks for the hours/days of enjoyment! I look forward to Sunday night, knowing there will be a new story.

😢 did you see what they call the dogmen? I’ve had an experience like yours. Frightened the life out of me, didn’t sleep at night for a long time as a teen. The fear is so intense that it paralyses you. I stopped breathing I was so scared. Never told me parents but they would tell me off constantly for staying up at night every night like a zombie, I’d sleep when the sun came up, at school or after school. Things are out there that don’t seem real but they are.

@@welikegoodies I had sleepwalking, night terrors, and sleep paralysis as a child and for a long time as an adult. I would always think I would see aliens in my room. My parents have told me I would point at the sky and scream as a little girl, when I was non verbal. What those things mean I don’t know. Maybe nothing. But in 2019 I saw (and thankfully it wasn’t just me) a very hostile ufo right outside my house. I was frozen in terror for a long time. Then the person I live with ran out to see it and it shot into the sky and winked out like a star. It let me watch in horror for a long time but when someone else went out…gone. It messed me up big time and I had black out blinds installed all over. I believe you. And I am so sorry you experienced such terror. I know how that changes your life, that terror. But it’s also something you don’t want to tell people.

I love all your stories!!! I REALLY appreciate the time and effort that you put into ALL of your videos!! Your extra effort doesn't go unnoticed.

The area we hike to camp is about 1.5 miles from parking area. When we get there no birds, no squirrels, nothing. Nothing ever moving in day time. But at night we get surrounded by coyotes, gray owls, and other animals moving at night. The owls come in close surrounding and hooting at us in the darkness but we've never seen them even with flashlights

Your video popped up and began playing!! Awesome story.. lots of very interesting comments as well!

I so forward to your videos you’re such a great storyteller… I wish they were more frequent I know you’re busy though… I love the Bigfoot experiences.

In my opinion that was his wife telling him to not go to that camping spot. I personally have felt that bad feeling when I was camping with some high school buddies of mine at Bear Cabins in Smoky Mountains. This is back in 2007.

Wow, what beautiful scenery ! Too many beautiful still shots, to pick a favorite ! BEAUTITUL !!!

I am 52 years old, and I have had encounters like this about half a dozen times since my first overnight camping trip in the Mark Twain National Forest at 12 in 1982...My first encounter was the most intense...something followed my 13-year-old cousin after dark when he stepped out of our cabin to use the bathroom...he burst into our camp saying something was out there...there were 3 adults beside us...we stepped out and something started screaming and took off through the woods...it sounded like an elephant running through the woods, trees were snapping and it ran to the bottom of the valley screaming, and up the next ridge...breaking everything it encountered...it took it about 45 seconds...it would have taken a person at least 30 minutes....Bigfoot is real...

Moose drool lmaooo. That's hilarious! Chris you always keep me entertained. Thank you so much

The first indication that “all was not well”, was that empty two man tent, with no one around. They either “got the hell out of dodge” so fast, they left their tent or “something got them”. A good reason to go to another site.

So very sorry for your loss sir. Thanks for sharing your experience. I know it isn’t easy especially when those closest to us, doubt our word. Am glad u didn’t let it alter your life permanently. I believe they are just curious territorial beings, incapable of not spying on humans when we enter their “realm”. I believe I had an encounter as a young toddler. Nothing else makes sense…I’ve only shared story w my parents and my partner. They just cannot fathom, and I agree, how I can replay the memory of a camping trip we took when I was barely 2 yrs old!? Which then sprouted a reoccurring dream/nightmare for the next 7-9+ years. I couldn’t name the subject of my dream as a child because I didn’t know what it was-i referred to it as “the screechy monkey man” and still rem almost every detail of dream, 40 years later. While watching the countless Bigfoot related videos when I became homebound, and the resemblance I saw brought back all those memories, as if a dam broke. Take care Stay safe 🕊
