      Over 100 native American tribes had verbal history on "sasquatch" going back thousands of years to the beginning. Long before the European folks ever came to America. The vast majority of native American people then and now see telling a lie as a great dishonor . let's just say "there is iron in there words of life" to discount all that plus all modern sightings, foot prints, hair , scat , other dna , pics, videos, the fact that the powers that be have resently admitted ufo's are real , probably won't be long until they fess up on all they know about sasquatch. to discount all that is like sticking ones head in the sand. No sir! I have seen one on a camping trip outside of Colfax ca. They are very much real.

    I live in northern Arkansas about 12 miles south of the Missouri border. I love to hunt and fish well I got permission to hunt 250 acres next to the white River and it hasn't been hunted in 20 years. The land belongs to my buddies great uncle and his uncle lives in England and he gave me written permission to hunt there. Long story short my first deer hunting trip there I saw something that blew my mind it was about an 8' tall harry creature that I'd only seen documentaries about. The sun was just coming up and I had looked up the hill I was sitting on and I saw what I thought was another hunter but was to big to be a hunter. It got behind a big oak tree like it was gonna hide from me, I pulled up my 300 WM looked through my scope and that's when I saw it looking around the tree at me. It was acting curious and not threatening. I've had several encounters with it and when we bump in to each other it will usually go the other way but it will follow me as I'm leaving the woods and I don't get out of my deer stand until it's dark. It's crazy but I think it understands that I'm only there to put meat in my freezer and I'm not there to hunt it or bother it. I was in the Army for 23 years with multiple deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq and have no reason to take a life except to fill my freezer or to protect my family and friends. I'm not scared of it it's just trying to survive in a in an evermore shrinking world filled with hate. I've talked to my buddies great uncle about purchasing the 250 acres and my experiences I've had there and he said he told me that he had the same thing happened to him and he would be more than happy to sell it to me. Well I'm gonna keep it like it is and only use it to keep my freezer full and for what ever else calls that stretch of land home can stay there safe and sound. Sorry for such a long post. Keep your reviews coming they have helped me from making a bad choice.

      I was camping in columbus ks.. not terribly far from there, and I heard something calling in the woods. It wasnt a dog or a coyote, i could hear dogs at the same time and could tell the difference.. i managed to catch a recording of it, but its not as full a sound as it was in person. If i were to describe it, it was like a person bellowing like a wolf.. but definitely wasnt a sound a person can make.

      I live in Northwestern BC. My Dad has come across something bipedal and huge with a greying hairy back moving into the trees alongaide a trail he had just turned a corner on. Also this summer (2021) me and my dad were camping on the local river, fishing and just at nightfall, way down the shore a pair of either black clad campers dressed in identical tracksuits both with their hoods up, were walking from the rivers edge into the bushes. Or who knows what they were. There should not have been anybody else on the beach. And why would they be dressed in all black. They could really have been a female Sasquatch and her young child.
      Also I'm vaccinated. First shot was very sore around the shot site. Second dose I felt odd, warm in the joints, oddly relaxed, almost sick feeling and lethargic. It passed in a day. Its been two months from my last dose (both moderna) and Ive had no noticeable side effects.

    My experience:
    Back in the late 90s before I joined the service I was working a diner type job that usually required me to be a closer as everybody hated late night cleanup. It was spring time in the Black Hills, I had to drive about 12 miles to get home. Stayed later than usual cleaning up the restaurant that night. Nobody on the roads really as I drove out of town into the hills. I liked driving at night with the windows down, no radio, air was a comfortable temp, it was close to a full moon so in the hills the moonlight was pretty strong letting you see most things clearly. The highway was one lane each way winding through the mountains to an elevation of about 4500 feet. Some country style houses with roughly 1-2 acres of yard for each. You could see anything in the open clearings outside of the pine trees with the moonlight. Had some experiences of unusual things as a kid but this was a first as I was older. Drove a lifted old ford pickup that stood about 7ft to the top of the cab, my eye level about 6'5 while sitting inside. Was about 4 miles from my destination and had just passed some houses then started coming up on a small restaurant on the left. The highway opened up to allow for a left turning lane. I was about 200 ft from the turn and started to see a dark object standing in the turn lane. Caught me off guard, I had felt things watching me in the woods before but never anything substantial. As I drove up on it going about 55-60 mph, I was squinting to figure out what it was. Happened almost as if in slow motion, covering the 200ft felt like a moment stopped in time as I realized the figure was as tall as the cab of the truck, with a long arm stretched out as if to try to touch my elbow as I had it resting out the truck window. It was at least 7ft, dark like a shadow, almost half in, half out of this reality, felt feminine, definitely not trying to scare or harm me, absolutely wanted to make contact. I don't scare easy but I can feel when "unique" things are near my presence. Every hair on my body was standing up, my adrenaline had shot through the roof, eyes wide open, mumbling to myself as I kept driving, almost drove through the next turn, felt an absolute electrical charge pulsating throughout my body, my body/energy was in shock from feeling something never experienced before. I was young so it scared me but now older, I see it was being friendly to me. Some are meant to see, some are not but you have to have a good heart/energy for them to want you to know. I served 15 years after, seen two hostile fire combat deployments, held a security clearance that required a polygraph and been exposed to many classified projects. What I wrote here is true. I've worked alongside men whom killed for a living, each of us have unexplainable stories so to those of you in the civilian world, do not discredit something because it gives you fear. Temper your fear and experience something beyond a closed mind, we exist on this planet together. Death is watching you the moment you're born into the world.

In 2004 I was visiting. Long story short. A creature at least 8,9 feet tall came up to the 2nd story window where I was asleep. This was at 2am. The creature did the what they call the Samurai gibberish talk in my window as it was open to allow the cool air in during the summer months. That was the scariest moment of my life. I was 32 years old and ive never had any other encounter since. If it didn't happen to me. I probably wouldn't believe in Sasquatch.

      It certainly sounded Bipedal..maybe a Dog man,, or SABE JUVVIE? I don't feel like it was a bear..the cadence sounded like a hominid..guess we will never know..There has to be sightings..They are heard of and experienced in VA., KY, W.VA., Ohio,Ala., GA., Fla TN, MS,TX.West Coast some in N.Y., N.H.,Me.,VT. They try hard not to be seen. Our Humans pose real threat to their existence and possibly ets. Analyzing other researchers and verified accounts..
      Luke is bound to meet up with one sooner or later. He has a kind heart and most SABE seem to respect this. Just remember to trust your intuition and other senses.

    I grew up in the Adirondack mountains of upstate New York. From my father's farm if you headed west across the pasture into the forest you could walk 100 miles and only cross 2 roads. When I was 16 my best friend and I took our rifles and back packs and went out for 2 weeks. About 20 miles or so into the forest we found this little pond with fish. Our second day staying by this pond we found footprints. They were about 15 inches long and 8 inches wide at the ball of the foot. We followed them for over a mile. They went around the back side of this pond and followed a stream.
    That night we heard screams...ended up spending the night 30 foot up in a big old oak tree. The next morning we left that aria and we never went that far out again.

    Crazy as it sounds, Ive been camping up here near Algonquin Park in Ontario, we have lynx up here. I imagine its close to the bobcat down where you're at. They have really really big feet for walking on the snow. Sometimes they sound like humans because when they walk they seem to walk with one front leg and one back leg landing at the same time, gives it a human like sound.
    But you rarely will see one. They are curious about humans but keep distance. We thought for sure it was Sasquatch until we seen it peek its head around a tree. Once we saw it, it skittered off never to be seen again. Beautiful animal.

      No, they don't walk with one front leg and one back leg landing at the same time, they walk with only one leg at a time so they sound bipedal. The order is right rear, right front, left rear, left front and they only leave bipedal like tracks because the rear leg steps in the exact same spot as the front leg.

    I've been in the woods doing lot of deer & squirrel hunting over the years and have never seen anything but 1 night at my deer camp after my fire was almost out, I crawled into my tent, 30 minutes later the fire had gone out and something that sounded like it was walking on 2 feet walked into my camp. I just listened trying to judge how close to the tent it was then it growled a low long-winded growl. I pulled my 9mm with its Surefire Light from its holster that was laying on the floor beside my sleeping bag and raised up unzipping out of the sleeping bag. I just sat there for about 30-45 minutes listening in the direction the footsteps and growl had come, it didn't move or growl again. As I sat there, I thought I'm not going to be able to go to sleep with whatever it is out there hanging out and it made me mad because I had a long day and I was tired so that's when I slowly unzipped the tent door turned the safety off and jumped out of the tent switching on the Light making sweeps to clear the area of interest and there was nothing. I was really shocked, I thought I'm missing it, something has got to be somewhere, I heard it and it never left, where is it, then a chill went thru me, I started searching up and around the trees and nothing, it's like it just disappeared, vanished into thin air like it was never there and I know for a fact I heard what I heard so, I take a Thermal Imager Scope with me now but it hasn't happened again.

    I had one of these things rum in front of my car with a passenger traveling with me. I wasn’t going to admit I saw it until he asked me.
    It was skinny and not huge. I suspect a juvenile. But it was covered in hair, bipedal and ran without a bounding, up and down gait. It fast walked with incredible speed in a motion akin to alpine skiing without bending its knees much and its arms were disproportionately long. It was across the highway in two seconds. If you blinked you would have missed it. My passenger said after a moment of silence, “Did we just see a Bigfoot?” His words, not mine. I was not about to stop the car to check. I’ve been in the outdoors for 40+ years. I’ve not had another experience like it. I didn’t believe in these beings until I saw what we saw. We were driving in a remote area in the dark. The only light came from my head lights. Also a person in a suit could not have moved as quickly as it did in the dark. It literally disappeared into the woods heading away from water disappearing into the brush. Seeing is believing. Lots of people have seen it. My Grandmother lived off 276, Pigeon St. I know the area well. Beautiful country. I fish the Big West Fork of the Pigeon River and the Davidson River. Sliding Rock is amazing. Like many of N. Carolina lineage, I am Scotch Irish and Cherokee. I know black bear and have seen them live many times. They can stand and walk for a short distance but only run on al fours. They don’t run standing up. You can also hear when an animal is walking on all fours versus two feet. It could have been a person stalking you. That’s possible, but you would have had a sense if it was moving on four legs like a deer or bear if it was circling you. A bear also doesn’t do that. If a bear wanted your food it would have come to your campsite and sniffed around. Why you tie up your food or lock it in those metal containers the rangers provide. If you don’t know better it could have been a herd of deer in the dark. That sound can seem like you’re being circled if you haven’t had the experience, but you seem like you camp a lot. Go ask First Nation People about the topic. Their connection to nature is undeniably strong. Most Europeans from W. North Carolina have some degree of Cherokee lineage... But go to the Reservation near Straight Fork and the National Park and ask around if it is real.
    Sorry about your uncle. My Dad went that way. Hard to watch. Nature heals. God bless.

One year while turkey hunting my disbelief became reality and Sasquatch literally charged into my life. I’m not a believer, I know they exist. Whatever circled you sounded bi-pedal. Did it not? So if you didn’t have another human acting shady as all get out stalking your camp, what would it be? I get why people don’t believe, I totally was a sceptic. What happened to my son and I that morning forever changed me and I’ll spend the rest of my days looking. I’m subbing to you, really great content. Thanks!

    As a child I would be out in the woods, along a river almost everyday and I can’t remember getting a tick on me at all! I was raised on the river and there were no ticks and the brush was thick there! But now I’m 69 yrs old and we live in the woods and get ticks many times, we check
    day for them! Go figure!

    This is so vastly different from my first hiking treks in the late 60's with my younger brother in Yosemite. No tents, just threw our sleeping bags on the ground. We arrived late, the line to get hiking permits long, so we just went. (Several times) We hiked up Tenaya Canyon on to Tenaya Lake. Late snows had delayed the opening of Tioga Pass and we were the only ones in the campground. Next day we hiked past Cloud's Rest and on towards Half Dome. It wasn't until the third day we began to see others, as we hiked up to the top of Half Dome and then on down to the valley.
    Now I read, according to David Paulides, the largest cluster of missing people, who have hiked in and never hiked out is in Yosemite. Nowadays, at 81, not going to do too much hiking unless its on a short paved path, like to the Devil's Post Pile, which I intend to introduce my wife to next month.

      The reason a high percentage of missing people is from Yosemite is because it get the highest amount of tourist/hikers, makes sense.

    Based on Luke's recommendation I got myself the tent shown in this video and I am literally a happy camper. I like it a LOT! During my first trip it did have some condensation issues but nothing that an hour of being exposed to the sun would not solve.
    I am a short but stocky guy and I had plenty of room for myself and all of my gear with room to spare.

    Great video man, I'm in Canada and we aren't allowed hand guns other than shooting at a designated place but I I baught two nice 45s with extended mags and I never camp without, way way too many people go missing without a trace here and I refuse to go down without a fight at least I can pump 40 rounds into whatever is trying to kidnap me.
