Thank you, Brian. And that was ten years ago.., I’m four months away from 78, and still going. I just got back from a daily conditioning walk that involves a bunch of hills and even stairs (exterior concrete… stuff that Bisbee, AZ is famous for) that is keeping me in almost great condition. It’s about a mile, with hardly anything flat. Soon it will be twice per day, and then I’ll add my pack with camera equipment. My motto is “Kill Your Recliner”.😁

Boy I wasnt sure you were gonna get to the top the last bit. Until I saw the trail and ur truck. One thing ive heard so many people talk about when ur solo is to let people know where your at and where ur off hiking too. Even if you leave a note on ur camper, dated and where youve hiked off to and your return plan, Just in case you fall, or get injured this way someone can find you. Better to be safe than sorry. Plus always have a small back pack with survival water and maybe a snack or 2 along with a sm first aid kit. Glad ur alright 🙂 From the PNW

It is surprisingly easy to get ‘lost’… but there is a level of awareness that keeps that from happening….my trick is to hold on to that level of awareness instead of reverting to what I call “city mind” instead of “Mountain mind”… really hard to explain, it’s using the same senses in a little different fashion. If I ever figure out how to explain it, I’ll do a separate video about it. It takes me about two weeks of being in the mountains to achieve that level of consciousness, to where it works essentially on auto pilot, 24-7. It is possible to get ‘there’ almost immediately, but that takes continuous awareness of the process which lessens the effectiveness, because my mind is being used to be aware of the process. Like trying to go to sleep is different than going to sleep. Like Zen and the art of being in the woods. I don’t know if that makes any sense…but it’s the best i can do right now. Thanks for your encouragement and concern.

Stephen , Just joined your podcast , I am around the same age and for some reason feel the same ?? Been aware of Bigfoot since six or seven as a previous text expressed , That quite a spell , In the Sierra Nevadas but have been to a lot of the adjoining states , Up at Bear lake a few years ago we stayed on the Idaho side up the St. Charles arm on the small towns west side , They run cattle down from the high country , Fished and enjoyed our camp with just eight or so groups scattered, I would as we sat around the look with a good flashlight around the brook behind camp up into the dark thicker woods , We stayed an extra night as they were closing and were alone there , There was a sighting between us and Logan canyon I later found out , My daughter and I both heard what I from years in this arena know was a Sasquatch walking deliberately through camp , I know the indigenous wildlife , Not a doubt , My daughter later said she had heard it too, When it’s past two a.m. and the first colder night as you lie there ya just don’t want to look ! I will in the future rake a perimeter or areas to catch footprints just to gauge size to how many , I know if cloaked you may not get prints from experiences , I still have a hard time with the newer paranormal attributes, I don’t have a doubt in this regard , You said you heard a Grizzly down that lil ravine , Could you tell if it was in distress or in a battle or ? Sometimes you can. Or any other sounds that just didn’t sit right with you ? I am clear headed and on point and I just started with the first video of this two part , I want you to know I tell it straight and don’t bs or make something outa nothing , Please remember this , I saw a portal as you came down to the flats , Many entities in and around ok , I don’t know how to say it but just tell it precisely as it is , What I tell you I wouldn’t believe if someone told me , I was out hiking some rugged terrain in Utah and my ph got damaged and was to be replaced so in the mean time I used a old ( 8-10 yr old) Apple i Phone ok , Follow me here , I noticed as I do in a podcast related to this topic or just a wild setting regardless of age that when I pause at places I deem they could be watching to ? That I saw what later was confirmed with ONLY THIS PHONE ! What I see is portals that are like a mirage u know a watery type image that around it to within are some bizarre beings to Sasquatches in places or positions indicative to their presence , This is common , Even people in predated attire ? Possibly lost and gone to the worse , Nothing planted this seed in me nor am I influenced by anything , As I stated it just transpired ok ! Other phones didn’t show any of this ? The few I showed were blown away , Hard to in this format tell someone this ! I am precise in what I am saying , No ego in regards to this topic and understand this arena nowadays from my first trackway south of Yosemite but in the park back in a remote private area with scattered cabins but not crowded and most vacation cabs going back many years with the Merced river coming down from Gods country , I fished down a few miles very young at dawn , So I grew from the beginning of my awareness of these creatures or now being or both as a Native American I trust and earned the respect from , His knowledge goes back to his elders too , Petroglyphs showing a family of Bigfoot no doubt and what their interpretation of a ufo would be void of any tv of previous knowledge that they illustrated above the family of Bigfoot , It’s legit , A forest service professional in that expertise predated the blood & berry and whatever they used paint to way back , I knew that by where we discovered this unique petroglyph with other indigenous wildlife and the norm for these ,I was intrigued by so far just starting as you got to the bottom what I saw as I explained above in this comment , I can only use words to express this to you , I don’t lie and am as clear headed as always , I am as baffled by this as whom I express it too! Again in many regardless of dates or even the subject manner like a short with elk with bugling bulls , Seeing there also , To date other phones made by many companies don’t have this ability ? I have a few others that see the exact same thing , I have since a kid those well trained mountain or educated eyes out there . On ‘ Flash Of Beauty ‘ a newer podcast Henry Fanzoni ( spell?) on a panel of guys in this that have paid their dues to evolving with the topic at hand , You should chk it out ? In videos , About eight or so are on the money , Not stagnant . Navigating to accrue knowledge or get answers you must be wary , It’s up in the Northwest in Washington state , It didn’t change much in my journey but confirmed what I have by happen chance experienced. Please don’t think this is bs or some lunatic . Sincerely, Kevin Standow .

Most of the hillside has Huckleberry plants on it, but the berries were almost all gone.

The mother bear and her cub left the immediate area the previous day (not saying they didn’t sneak back during the night) so I basically felt OK with doing the search in this video.

You’re right...one of them was a bear tearing a dead tree apart, looking for grubs to eat (I assume)…amazing wood ripping sounds…just before midnight. The part that got my attention was when a fairly large piece of wood seemed to have been thrown horizontally from where it was torn from the main body of the tree or stump to where it landed… I never did really figure that one out.

I don't know why it is that people don't seem to understand that a LOT of animals come out at night... more than just nocturnal animals. Many of them come out to get water from a stream. One notorious animal for coming out at night is the feral hog. There are several others as well. Perhaps they feel safer in the dark since their predators can't see them. There is no more reason to feel scared when you hear them than when you don't. As long as you have bear spray, an air horn and a firearm, you are pretty much safe and should not be alarmed.

Some good points, however I did have a cell phone, with service available, a loaded 44 magnum and a little over forty years of experience doing things like this so I was good with it all. I wouldn’t recommend this activity to someone straight out of the city, but then everybody has to start somewhere. The previous year, I looked down into that ravine and thought “No way…” but things can change a lot in a year. Thanks for your interest.

I think you a family forest people aka Sasquatch. Be careful the woods are there home.

Could be… one night, about midnight, something was tearing a dead tree apart down there, which bears do frequently, but some of the chunks of wood were flying through the air horizontally… never did totally figure that one out. But it may have required a thumb to do🙂

Where's the noises. Or did you just go for a hike ?

@gr8northernpike

4 ай бұрын

Good point… the noises happened over a period of previous years, before I had any recording or video equipment, so I have no audio files. So, this video focused on the possibility of finding out what (if anything) was living down there, and by deductive reasoning, using that info/data to determine if something was, so more of a recon than a hike.

Was tht a rattle snake sound at 5:49 mins?

No, no rattlesnakes. But I have seen and heard them in other places. Always good for a little adrenaline rush. The sound here is a squirrel announcing the presence of a large predator. In this case, that was me. It’s one of nature’s alarm systems and it happens again about the 9:00 mark.

In the video you say the year is 2014, yet you’ve posted it in 2024. Why the long delay? And if you find a Sasquatch, invite me over! I want to see one.

I had an absolute ton of other things going on that virtually consumed my time. But the number of views this and another one that talks about building a log cabin are getting has convinced me that I should do more of this and a whole lot less of other stuff. Thank you for your interest. I appreciate the support.

Trail Creek, east of Naples, to camp area at locked gate, approximately 10 miles from highway. Be bear aware… and don’t keep smellable (new word) food in the camp. I sleep in a vehicle, but so what. A grizzly can break windows and tear doors open. Be safe. It’s a beautiful area.

The noises were during the night, and this was to investigate the area to see if I could figure out from tracks etc what made the sounds.

Watch it there, 4:01 could be a big monster there, a bear😮 or something,

Stephen , I am in the dark electronically or in the tools of this area , You mentioned speed , I get that , It I believe important possibly too , In my previous comment or more sorry 😞! Must read to understand my interest in this area , Has to be connected but widespread in what I have experienced, Never movement by the way , If it paused I have noticed changes though . This is extremely important , I just by using this older Apple i phone stumbled on this phenomenon? I am so in the dark on this ? But it’s true ! How else would I convey this but show it to someone right ? Have family members and they have no opinion on these topics but we’re blown away to shook up a bit ? You may understand what transpired ?

Good question…I want to know so if I hear something similar, I’ll have a good idea of who is in the environment I’m sharing. One advantage to being out here alone is that if I hear something, and I know that it wasn’t me, it wasn’t whoever was with me because nobody was.

At 3:17, I see a lot of faces down there, don't do it, plz

I’m (believe it or not) in pretty good shape for my age, and actually better than a whole bunch of guys in my bracket. I’m not going to run marathons, but I’m not going to sit in a recliner all day either. And now it’s ten years later… I’m 77, and in better shape than I was in the video. Plus I do a thirty step stairway , down and up, at least 10 times a day, simply because I live at the top of those stairs. Good exercise. Thanks for your concern and support. I’m crawling towards a thousand subs so I can monetize this channel and maybe have some extra funding to do more vids. We’ll see how it goes.

@@ruthl51On one hand it’s sad that you don’t go camping anymore but on the other, I’m glade you are aware of what’s actually out there. Ive been hiking, hunting, and camping in the remote wilderness since I was a young child and I’ve had a few run ins with what I believe to be Dogmen. My uncle and even my grandfather have had some pretty wild stories about their own Dogman experiences and so these days I take every precaution when I’m out in the woods. I also never go out there alone anymore. I used to several years ago but now I feel as though the Cryptid Phenomenon or Activity has really exploded in recent years. Anyways, take care of yourself and if you ever do decide to go back out in nature, just make sure you’re well prepared for just about anything and that you’re not camping or hiking alone.

Don't do that again on your own...if you should slip etc., 😮

Hope you had bear spray. You needed to be making a lot more noise as well.

The sounds were heard over a period of a few years, prior to this recon. I didn’t have any recording equipment at the time, and this video is about seeing if there was any evidence (tracks, hair, scat etc) that would point towards the source of the sounds.

It’s interesting to me how much our senses increase when the occasion warrants it… like at 2:00 in the morning when a squirrel hops through the camp and I’d swear (initially) that it was something way more threatening than they really are. Sometimes little noises are just little noises… but sometimes they are big things trying to be quiet. There had been a black bear with a cub in the area, (they left earlier) so I was watching pretty closely. Thanks for your support.
