@Damian you are totally wrong about bigfoot their real seen two of them and so has 1000's of others its been discovered mainstream science ignores the subject due to government doesn't want the general public knowing that they exist they have been here longer than us humans they are terrifying creatures and what you captured on film was a sasquach circuling you 100% think you're self lucky that you didn't become another 411 missing persons
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.
@@nathannopants3157 had this experience at my inlaws..freaked me out turns out to be a bobcat I was surprised when I researched the noises they make as well freaky
I'm sorry to hear about your uncle. My wife is also dying of cancer. She is on in home hospice. I'm caring for her so I don't get a lot of time to get out. Your vids help.
There are no words i could say to take away the pain of seeing someone you love suffer, and knowing that you're about to lose them. But i wish that you have as much time together as humanly possible, and espescially, that these months/weeks are filled with Joy and love. Only the best wishes for you and your wife!!
@@Importdan1 Normally i don't pray. But tonight, bevor i go to bed, i will pray for you and your wife, and i will try to send positiv thoughts and energy. I have no idea if that really helps, or if it works at all, but at least it wont hurt. And even the possibility that it maybe could help, and if it's just a little bit, is reason enough to try! Again, only the best for both of you!
Yes Bigfoot exists. Yes people are everywhere, and yes people everywhere have sighted the Big fella! But everyone believes once they believe. Great info thanks for your reviews! happy trails!!
Hey Luke thank you for all that you do. I had a massive heart attack 11 years ago and lost 2/3 of my heart. I appreciate all the positivity of your channel. It’s hard for me to get out and your channel lets me feel I am thank you!
Need to look into hawthorn supplement. I harvest my own but you can buy it online. Super good for heart and for those who have had trouble before. I take it for my blood pressure.
@@rodger603 - Mix that with the hottest hot pepper that you can find. That makes it 10 times more effective. It is the best heart tonic available but the addition of garlic improves it.
when you live back in the mountain like that all your life, sounds of something in the forest isnt that big of a deal. Especially when you have a hunting rifle handy.
lol for real, last time i slept in a tent I was told there was a cougar seen nearby recently. had an ar with me but every little russling i heard I was wide awake lol
It would have been interesting to look for prints before you left. Whatever it was did sound bipedal from what I could hear in the video. Now I'm really curious lol!!
After my second shot I suffered heart failure 5 weeks later. My two doctors said the shots contributed to my condition. That was two years ago and my life has changed a lot. Was a health 55 year old to an old man with a bad heart.:(
All over North America and South East Asia. Rock Apes (Vietnam), Yeren et cetera... There are thousands of reports and ancient folklore, there must be some truth to it, it's most likely a hominid (intelligent, has language -> Sierra Sounds) not just some primitive primate.
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.
I have watched many of your videos, and I wish we had video back in the day, it would have saved my husband and I on so many products over the years. He has passed away several years ago, and I sure do miss camping. You must have a warehouse full of used equipment that you have tested over the years.
Damn big cougars are a problem here in New Mexico .can't hardly go out hiking anymore with out running into them .I had one stalk me for nearly an half hour one time kept getting closer and closer to me then I finally made it back to my car without any problem.someday it could turn out different for someone else so you never let your guard down in the woods. And as far as Bigfoot goes the United states army corps has it listed as an endangered species all except in Texas it is legal to hunt and kill them. Looking up it's real that the government claims their existence by placing these laws on them.
You say that now but obviously you've never encountered one before or know anyone that has or maybe you don't believe they exist. I've heard from many people that have seen them that it's the most terrifying experience they've ever had in their lives and it kept some of them out of the woods for good. I'd much rather have a person pop out. Seeing something that massive walking around and it can break you in half, tear you apart?? Nah no thanks!
"Humble" enough to sell mugs for $17.00 that DO NOT keep your coffee HOT.Buy an insulated Thermos brand mug with lid. They are not cheap, but you'll be much happier.
that's funny and really cute, for some reason. :) can totally picture this really cute fluffy baby sass crawling around the forest, wondering why this crazy hooman is talking to himself. lol
Exactly.....this guy sitting there like he is in his living room....You can tell it's bipedal....and with all that stomping he continues t smile and just blow it off.... not smart!!!
You know damn well they wake up cranky and destructive if they don't get the full 8hrs. Momma knows. And no coffee either, Oh ! I would tear the roof off the cave - man!!!
I seen one 4 years ago in the mountains of Utah. It was about 25 to 30 yards from me when we noticed each other totally unmistakable!! Seeing is believing.
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.
They are in the Black Hills yes! I live in a big city in Texas. My father retired in 1995 and moved to Deadwood, SD then later to Lead. He lived up in the hills not in town. 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.
@@robertforrest7956 hi Robert, any stories? i was camping near Big Bar, ca on highway 299, some loud howl/ scream woke me up in the middle of the night. Do not know what it was but it sounded big
I believe you are telling the truth as you understand it and you seem like you have your head screwed on the right way but most of us will never experience anything like that and must retain our our skepticism regardless.
Stumbled across your videos in my recommendations section. I have to say I have been binge watching the past three days of them! Love the attitude and flow of the channel. No BS and no filers. Just straight outdoors and reviews!
That DeWalt chainsaw was cool. However the sound of it I'd imagine was likely a curiosity to the Sasquatch. I doubt they ever heard that. I'd say the multiple owl calls was a pretty good giveaway.
You know what it was. Which is what Steve from the HowtoHunt channel would say. You know what it was. Im glad it was uneventful though and the rest of the trip was just fine.
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 was impressed how Luke jumped up like lightning ready to enter fight mode!!!Very courageous Man imho!
I doubt any animal would hang around for hours without making a vocal sound. Animals gotta eat.. they cant just stand around and watch something all day... sounds like something a "human" would do.
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.
Great gear testing! I might have to get some for my future backpack trips! Thank you. Most Mountain folk dont like to talk about the encounters they have had because of the backlash they might get. so that's probably why you dont hear about it......
I used to hear noises in my backyard at night that would have me thinking there was a full-grown man walking through the leaves. Freaked me out the first few times I heard it. Then one night I saw the source of the noises: possums. I don't know how they manage to sound so big but they do. A single possum can make the sound of a large man somehow. ☺️
A armadillo makes alot noise and they will circle around your camp it sound like a person walking around especially with dry leaves all over the ground it's kinda freaky because you don't see them very much other than roadkill.
@@jasonpannett1325Definitely, those can be noisy too. I've had one of those visiting my yard recently. Took my dog outside late last night and while she was doing her business I started hearing some noises. Turned out to be an armadillo a few yards/meters from where I was standing.
I HAD AN EXPERIENCE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER WITH SASQUATCH AND I FOUND A BED OR NEST THAT WAS 6 FEET WIDE AND 10 FEET LONG WITH BRANCHES AND LEAVES AND HAY. I LIVE IN KENTUCKY WAS BORN IN CASEY COUNTY, AND THEY ARE SOME SIGHTINGS THERE. I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS BUB.
I live up here in the Pacific N.W! Have never seen one but on more than one occasion have heard some of the most blood curdling screams! I have spent most of my life hunting and fishing in these mountains and nothing comes close to duplicating the shear volume of these screams! It's like they resonate through your whole body!
This year especially June and July the sasquatch have been very active. They are showing themselves to more and more people, letting more and more people know they are there and watching us.
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.
A bobcat is a lynx. And a bobcat is 20lbs vs a sasquatch which is anywhere from 200-1000lbs and 5'-10' tall, depending on age. Unless it's a baby, which is unlikely without it's mother.
Ever had one bang on the side of your cabin above your head and play with the door knob while throwing it's shoulder into the door? Because that happened to my cabin in Bruce Mines.
“I have no idea what month it is…don’t judge me.” Thanks for the laughs Luke! Also, I am loving the drone footage! I live in East Tennessee, and your shots of the other side of this mountain range are amazing. So beautiful! Thanks again.
@@vincentvince3505 what does he have to gain from hoaxing? He gets people calling him crazy, saying hes lunatic fringe. It doesn't make sense that it would benefit him.....
@@porcupineparty8598 They'll immediately go for the "graphical effects" or "dude in costume" excuses. People hardly accept that they can be wrong, they're too attached to their confirmation bias.
@@DinnerForkTongue I saw three UFO's being chased by fighter jets in broad daylight on a crystal clear blue day when I was 11 and I made the mistake of telling kids about it at school! I never talked much about it again!
@@austindobbe3067 I just read up on these creatures, being in the uk its was never an issue but foreign dog imports have brought them to our island now, which dont jump but land on you as you brush against them...either way they are vile indeed.
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.
You should go listen to 10 episodes from Wes at sasquatch chronicles. I've listened to upwards of 30 to 40 of his podcasts where he interviews witnesses. Everyday people experiencing exactly what your describing and much more. I'd check it out. Or don't if you want to enjoy the woods fear free... ;) stay safe man!
@@joshbarrow6246 lol fear free, I don't get scared I go for the fight. In my job we go out to very remote areas alone night and day to work on Wells. Some of the guys talk about things that spooked them and won't go to some of those places again. I volunteer and switch up routes with them all the time. We can't carry firearms so, I carry a Kabar BK7, I tell the guys if there's something out there, I'm coming back with real proof if I don't come back that's one bad mother.
@@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059 People tend to think they are smarter than they are. You're an example of that. Listen to people who get off the beaten paths in the woods, they have experience in their outings or adventures. If you could tell me what could throw over 100 large rocks and small boulders into a river at 2am in a remote location, let me know. Last time I checked, bears and meth heads arent able to.
I used to live out in the PNW as a kid, the woods there are so vast its certainly believable that there's something out there. Heck, I recall hearing in the local news that 2 hikers were found dead with their heads smashed in by rocks. Could quite possibly have been the local drug farmers, but could have been something else entirely.
I've had the same thing happen camping solo in Ohio. Weirdest thing is as you said whatever it was ran away. Heard them around my shelter all night long. Never bothered me. Just seemed curious. There out there! Native Americans were not making up stories for there social media page lol.
If you see rock piles about a foot high or so, that's their territory markers. And they are everywhere. The wood structures/tree structures are them probably passing time and abandoned shelters. As long as one is respectful, they usually are. But these are at times, hunters of opportunity. Hence the missing people and livestock.
@@carlgreen998 I've seen enough evidence to say with certainty that they do exist. Bodies have been found. There comes a point to where even a non believer has to admit that there is alot of evidence for something that isn't supposed to exist. To just dismiss anything and everything because one's mind can't explain it is just irresponsible. You can't discount the reports of sightings that go back hundreds of years.
I have been away from camping for many years. I was always busy to my career and then after retiring, I started my own business, so I was trying to grow my business and handle every aspect of it. I’m older now and have a 10 year old grandson. He and I want to spend some weekends away at parks, beaches, fishing etc, so I appreciate you trying new things and equipment. Thanks for doing this for us novices! It does help!
I don’t know you but I’m sad to hear of your loss. I lost my Dad in May, 8 years ago, time sure goes by quickly. The common saying by most of us is that we lost them, you didn’t lose him. He’s with you everyday, in every action, every word, and every deed. He still lives through you and in your memory and because of your comment I think you’ll represent him very well. I apologize for butting in and hope that I don’t offend you with my comments. You may not believe as I do but know that he is still watching over you, watching you grow, smiling as you conquer what life throws at you, and watching you be the person that he prepared you to be. I hope that your grief fades quickly and that you see him in the mirror every day.
I never carry any 'safety' equipment when heading into the wilderness, not even maps...and definitely not a locator beacon. I value the simple fact that I'm not carrying all that crap. I don't actually want anyone to know where I am nor where I'm going. I'm exploring the unknown and tasting adventure. I seek out danger.
@@Globetrotter-1 if you value your life so little, that's on you, but don't call these things crap. a locator beacon is a smart thing and should be standard imo. so many things can happen and it's easily fixed with that one small device.
@@slXD100 if you're that fearful of dying, then simply stay in your box watching TV. I love life and have explored the wildest regions on earth across 💯 different countries. I certainly don't need beacons or to follow tracks. I'm happy and confident in unexplored areas carrying zero location devices. I felt the same at 15--years of age. Now after 64-years living on this beautiful planet, I think I'm experienced enough to understand what it means to survive in the wilderness.
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.
A few years ago a close friend contracted Lyme disease. He eventually lost a lot of his cartilage in his knees and ankles. He later had trouble with his elboes and waist. It made for a pretty miserable life. Be diligent about ticks!
This is from a Native American well versed in the ways of Sasquatch:“...both spirit and real being, but he can also glide through the forest, like a moose with big antlers, as though the trees weren’t there.”
Really enjoyed your video, found it by accident while looking for a Dave Paulides video. I was like you, grew up in the Ozark mountains, spent my whole life in the woods on on the waterways including the mighty MO River. 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!
Yup. When you're out in the woods and your hearing is sharpened you can distinctly hear the leaves brush against the bipedal thighs. You're the first person I've heard pointing out the same things.
I would HATE camping ,I like my comfort but I love watching Lukes channel, when my boys were teens one of their frends asked if they could set up a large tent in our garden and about six lads were going to join them including my two boys of course, they set up a huge tent ,BBQ,enough food to feed an army etc,we left the back door open as our garden was very secure but we live in a safe area of the UK anyway by the sea so no worries there, it must of been around 4am , when we heard a hugh banging noise,me and hubby leapt out of bed ran into the kitchen just in time to see all the lads all fighting to get through the door at once, they were all shouting 'don't go out there ' at 4am I was happy to oblige, in the morning the story was they had heard a growling all night,the bravest two were sent to investigate and had seen everything from ufo's to ghosts,when the growling started again they all took flight, my hubby investigate in the morning,the growling was a bush caught in a broken fence,I must admit it did sound like a growl when the wind blew, I should think at 4am on windy night their imagination was running pretty high , we never told them everyone needs a good yarn to tell, gave me and hubby a good giggle for months after 😂
I am sorry about your uncle Luke. Take time for yourself, you are an amazingly strong guy, but you have to give yourself a break and take time in the woods for your own good. Love to you all ❤
Speaking of vaccines and ticks, I really, really, wish there was still a vaccine for lyme disease available. One of my friends has had life long health issues after getting it years ago.
Dont really need one for humans anymore. In most cases, per the CDC, the tick needs to be latched for 36 to 48 hrs. Frequent tick checks will save the hassle. Sorry for your friend though. Lyme disease syndrome still has unknown causes, but for most people, antibiotics stop lyme in its tracks.

@@jeremymoses7401 Yeah, I'm pretty sure in his case it was because he went a significant amount of time without treatment. If he'd gotten a course of antibiotics early on it probably would have gone away. I've heard different things about why LYMERix was discontinued but I just saw now that the CDC says it was a lack of demand. That seems different from a vaccine being completely unnecessary or redundant.
@@orion3253 lol, it seems theyve gotten pretty bad in recent years. I was into my 30s before i even seen a tick outside of a deer carcass. Now it seems they turn up anywhere. Caught a male wood tick crawling on me at the Drs office last week and i hadnt even been in the sticks. Luckily, ive found the VA or my provider atleast, is pretty cool about it. Get one that latches, give them a heads up, "you see that 'bullseye', come see us".
This channel is a gem. Luke can simply say "strength and honor" right after mentioning a very controversial and politically charged topic and there's literally nobody arguing and saying hateful things in the comments section. You're a legend, Luke. Awesome channel and community.
I'm from New Mexico, Been hunting all my life. I did experience the craziest roar.. like a lion, And then it spoke some kind of weird language and finished its roar without skipping a beat!! I didn't see anything..... but never heard anything like that in my life. It literally freaked me out. Needless to say.... I got the hell out of there. 👍🇺🇸🤙✌
My gear and yours is getting closer to matching as time goes on! In this episode, you are rocking the Carintha bag and Klimit pad, both of which I have loved over the past few years especially when on field exercises. You're also using the One Tigris chair that you talked me into and I am glad you did! Glad to see I had made a few good choices on my own and that you are now rubbing off on me! Thanks for all you do and for mentoring many of us!
I’m not sure if you’re serious or halfway serious but I think this probably happens. If they are part human then that would be their natural response lol
This design has been in use for several decades.I have a tent known as the peapod .This tent is at least 40 years old and was used back in the day by a company called Ultimate equipment. Great video ATB
They say every first nations tribe has their own story's of sasquatch,I personally believe. And I think maybe the reason why more dont actually see,because it doesn't want seen,and only having the power to do that makes that happen
Not just in North America- Himalayas and Siberia have nearly the same stories. Legends and anecdotes aren't evidence, but they're reason to look for evidence.
One eye whiteness testimony will get a man the electric chair, hanging, bullet, or life in prison. Yet, thousands of good, honest peoples Bigfoot experience testimonies gets laughs. It's real funny when you are the experienced. Ha ha ha Idiots ! Wake up and stop letting your lying government lead you around by the nose.
@@coina-dig-tion6322 not exactly sure. He does acknowledge he hears something or someone walking. I want to say you can hear it multiple times. Just sounds like someone walking through.
Man you always make epic movies of your trips... the cinematography is so good. Sorry to hear about your uncle too, I'll put you all in my prayers. Strength and honor to you, sir.
Great video. I got the vaccine and have been doing great. Moderna 1st shot was a little bit rough: malaise. 2nd was fine. I have been able to see friends and family again and I am very thankful. Looking forward to a camping trip with a friend.
No vax for me brother. My sister in law had a awful reaction to the J&J. As for the real important subject, sasquatch, i have had several encounters over the last 20 years and have had a few sightings here in the mountains of NC. I had a up close and personal day time sighting while cutting timber that changed my whole way of looking at the world. It wasn't my first sighting but it was the one that made me look at these beings as people instead of animals. As for hammock camping, i have had them circle me and my friends stealth camp all night near hanging rock NC. We were 5 miles from the nearest road so it deff. Wasn't a human. Sorry for the long rant. Keep up the good work brother! Jake
they were ''made'',by our creators,as were the giants.[ as they made us], watch revalation of the pyramids.. not religious in any way. it shows there landing sites,that are now religious sites. brian foerster has some good vids. .enki,enlil,marduk.
I went tree planting 4 years ago. In one spot we camped, something big was walking near my tent. I growled at it as I clutched my bear spray. I thought it might have been a bear or moose but now that I think about it it didn't sound like it had 4 legs....but the footstep sounds were loud! I'll never know. Probably could have opened my tent to see but maybe was better I didn't.
I have been run our of the woods by something " grunting" at me. 2yrs later, same area, something was whopping at me at night. I am a firm believer in the phenomenon of of sasquatch
@@TheOutdoorGearReview Hi Luke, hope u r good and your uncle is more comfortable, was suprised that you were so relaxed with the pacing around your camp. Defo sounded bipedal to me. I'm convinced about sasquatch, not from personal experience but witness testimony and evidence such as footprints, hair and DNA analysis. Not sure if you've heard of David Paulides (CanAm Project Missing 411) but this is one of his Bigfoot presentations: ruclips.net/video/mMtQz5W-IU4/видео.html
In the night, in the woods when you are alone, the sound of all bigger animals walking arround is like a two steps from a human lol thats my experience ^^
I just watched that movie on Prime after I saw your post and now I want to go camping by Dillon Lake in California after hearing the bigfoots vocalizing. It would be scary as hell and exciting at the same time.
Unfortunately most of those stories are exaggerated and falsified. Most of them aren't real. And the ones that are have been solved. The guy who made that stretches the stories just to keep people hooked. Don't believe that bs.
"Missing 411" has as much credibility as ghost hunting programs that get orgasmic over "orbs". "Bigfoot" type legends in North America have been suspected in close to ZERO disappearances throughout history, but now we're supposed to believe that Sasquatch is kidnapping scores of people every decade? Yeah, I don't think so. And they're not even interesting as pure entertainment.
The plier and pipe... brass pipe in the middle of the woods.. moonshine.. ticks, never had one, in 47 years outdoors, fishing, hunting, hiking, and i have had 11 mosquito bites... 11... great film pal. Stay safe
Well from all i was ever taught when a bear is checking u out one of their tactics is to circle u over and over sometimes for hours-especially at night- before they decide to either attack u or walk away-most of the time bears will stay away from people but there's always that one time when bears will think they have the upper hand and well u get the picture
Thank you for sharing with us all. Always respect Mother Nature. Just yesterday I witnessed a 10 foot plus alligator catch a large soft-shelled turtle in the small pond behind my apartment complex. I live just outside of Tampa. Amazing power and speed from this ambush preditor.🙁 RESPECT.
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.
Why do you have to laugh when you say Bigfoot if you don't believe then be it when you laugh you're calling all the people with incounther's crazy and that's more than a 1000's looks like you mite of lost some followers ( like me)
@@bertramtarpley8628 Because you failed to address anyone specific, I'm not positive whether or not your repy is directed to me. All I will say is "Controversal claims require strong evidence", of which a verbal claim is only a starting point.
I was just going to ask if you have read David’s books. I’m in process now of trying to convince a female friend not to hike Yosemite alone. She won’t listen…..
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.
@@dimtso6107 they tried and wasted 2 billion tax payers dollars before they gave up the can have the pistols and high round military type guns just leave me alone with my 300 win mag and 12gauge alone of course my opinion 😉have a great day
In southwest VA we call Bigfoot a Woodbugger. Supposedly smaller and meaner that the Pacific Northwest version. That being said....i have never seen one.

@Damian you are totally wrong about bigfoot their real seen two of them and so has 1000's of others its been discovered mainstream science ignores the subject due to government doesn't want the general public knowing that they exist they have been here longer than us humans they are terrifying creatures and what you captured on film was a sasquach circuling you 100% think you're self lucky that you didn't become another 411 missing persons
Never thought I'd enjoy watching someone cut firewood,.
And I was right!
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 love ur stove
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.
Hell yea brother 💯 🤘 thank you for sharing your story. I grew up with them on our 40 acre property out in Whatcom County WA. Take care my guy 😎

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.

There are no words i could say to take away the pain of seeing someone you love suffer, and knowing that you're about to lose them.
But i wish that you have as much time together as humanly possible, and espescially, that these months/weeks are filled with Joy and love.
Only the best wishes for you and your wife!!
@@Nea-van-R. thank you. We are trying. Even in pain, she stays positive.
@@Importdan1
Normally i don't pray. But tonight, bevor i go to bed, i will pray for you and your wife, and i will try to send positiv thoughts and energy.
I have no idea if that really helps, or if it works at all, but at least it wont hurt. And even the possibility that it maybe could help, and if it's just a little bit, is reason enough to try!
Again, only the best for both of you!
If that was a Sasquatch wandering around his campsite, he had the perfect defense to keep it at a safe distance: a really good camera.

Words I will never put in one sentence: Something is outside, circling me but I'm tired and I'm going to sleep.
never would I say that either!!!!!!
when you live back in the mountain like that all your life, sounds of something in the forest isnt that big of a deal. Especially when you have a hunting rifle handy.
lol for real, last time i slept in a tent I was told there was a cougar seen nearby recently. had an ar with me but every little russling i heard I was wide awake lol
It would have been interesting to look for prints before you left. Whatever it was did sound bipedal from what I could hear in the video. Now I'm really curious lol!!
@@kittykatgaming9491 ppl with guns have ended up dead in the forest to its. Sometimes the hunter becomes the hunted.
It was the moonshiner stumbling around in search of his misplaced piece of pipe/pliers. 🤣

Sorry brother but at least your alive,my friend is not after not having covid taking the shot,the a month later his heart just stopped beating 😢
The Bigfoot stories I do not laugh or scoff at, they are things especially here in the Utah/Wyoming region...we cannot explain...
All over North America and South East Asia. Rock Apes (Vietnam), Yeren et cetera... There are thousands of reports and ancient folklore, there must be some truth to it, it's most likely a hominid (intelligent, has language -> Sierra Sounds) not just some primitive primate.
I'm b n r in Wyoming 1967 all my life never a sound or seen BF.. hunted spent a many time in and around foothills.. I'm not sure but it's nice stories
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.
Yet no evidence what so ever. Interesting
If people only knew how many times these things have been seen they would not laugh so hard.
I have watched many of your videos, and I wish we had video back in the day, it would have saved my husband and I on so many products over the years. He has passed away several years ago, and I sure do miss camping. You must have a warehouse full of used equipment that you have tested over the years.
I think I would be more afraid of a person popping out of the woods than a Bigfoot.
You clearly don’t spend a lot of time in the woods. Or know the fear of realizing a apex predator is near.
@@countpicula he’s being realistic. People are more dangerous than a fantasy creature.
@@countpicula You clearly don't spend enough time around humans.
Damn big cougars are a problem here in New Mexico .can't hardly go out hiking anymore with out running into them .I had one stalk me for nearly an half hour one time kept getting closer and closer to me then I finally made it back to my car without any problem.someday it could turn out different for someone else so you never let your guard down in the woods. And as far as Bigfoot goes the United states army corps has it listed as an endangered species all except in Texas it is legal to hunt and kill them. Looking up it's real that the government claims their existence by placing these laws on them.
You say that now but obviously you've never encountered one before or know anyone that has or maybe you don't believe they exist. I've heard from many people that have seen them that it's the most terrifying experience they've ever had in their lives and it kept some of them out of the woods for good. I'd much rather have a person pop out. Seeing something that massive walking around and it can break you in half, tear you apart?? Nah no thanks!
Luke has to be one of the manliest yet humble hikers I have ever seen. Absolutely love this guy!
"Humble" enough to sell mugs for $17.00 that DO NOT keep your coffee HOT.Buy an insulated Thermos brand mug with lid. They are not cheap, but you'll be much happier.

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.
Rob, thank you for sharing your experience and thank you for your service. I believe you.
God bless.
They are in the Black Hills yes! I live in a big city in Texas. My father retired in 1995 and moved to Deadwood, SD then later to Lead. He lived up in the hills not in town. 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.
Grew up on the mouth of the Klamath River in Requa CA sasquatch were an everyday part of life there.... Always prints, noises etc. ...
@@robertforrest7956 hi Robert, any stories? i was camping near Big Bar, ca on highway 299, some loud howl/ scream woke me up in the middle of the night. Do not know what it was but it sounded big
I believe you are telling the truth as you understand it and you seem like you have your head screwed on the right way but most of us will never experience anything like that and must retain our our skepticism regardless.
Stumbled across your videos in my recommendations section. I have to say I have been binge watching the past three days of them! Love the attitude and flow of the channel. No BS and no filers. Just straight outdoors and reviews!
That DeWalt chainsaw was cool. However the sound of it I'd imagine was likely a curiosity to the Sasquatch. I doubt they ever heard that. I'd say the multiple owl calls was a pretty good giveaway.
You know what it was. Which is what Steve from the HowtoHunt channel would say.
You know what it was.
Im glad it was uneventful though and the rest of the trip was just fine.
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 was impressed how Luke jumped up like lightning ready to enter fight mode!!!Very courageous Man imho!
I doubt any animal would hang around for hours without making a vocal sound. Animals gotta eat.. they cant just stand around and watch something all day... sounds like something a "human" would do.
It was probably walking around the whole time trying to figure out where the other person was in the conversation.
Howtohunt crew RISE UP!
about to go watch one of Steve's videos next! and, you're right.
haha i love luke so much. “looks like bigfoot is encircling me.” ten seconds later: “time to eat!”
He should product test some game cameras or something to capture unusual activity- or even interesting usual wildlife behavior to show us.
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.

I used to hear noises in my backyard at night that would have me thinking there was a full-grown man walking through the leaves. Freaked me out the first few times I heard it. Then one night I saw the source of the noises: possums. I don't know how they manage to sound so big but they do. A single possum can make the sound of a large man somehow. ☺️
Not to scare ya but is that really possible? Dont let society dumb your senses. If you heard it it happened.
@@conan111169 Is what really possible? That the noises are made by possums?
A armadillo makes alot noise and they will circle around your camp it sound like a person walking around especially with dry leaves all over the ground it's kinda freaky because you don't see them very much other than roadkill.
@@jasonpannett1325Definitely, those can be noisy too. I've had one of those visiting my yard recently. Took my dog outside late last night and while she was doing her business I started hearing some noises. Turned out to be an armadillo a few yards/meters from where I was standing.
Low riding, they brush against all kinds of stuff. Porcupines sound HUGE.

@@TheOutdoorGearReview 😂 brilliant cheers Luke
That's hilarious. I love Steve's videos!

Lol got to love it. Good video
Chupacabra? Lol
He thought the sasquatch calls were owls!. By the way, they are not friendly but an old enemy of man.
I HAD AN EXPERIENCE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER WITH SASQUATCH AND I FOUND A BED OR NEST THAT WAS 6 FEET WIDE AND 10 FEET LONG WITH BRANCHES AND LEAVES AND HAY. I LIVE IN KENTUCKY WAS BORN IN CASEY COUNTY, AND THEY ARE SOME SIGHTINGS THERE. I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS BUB.
Wait, we don't have to fight over our opinions, but respect each other regardless? What a great concept! :D
Everyone’s gangster till Bigfoot rocks up 😂
Lol😂😂😂
I know fr!!
Haha...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
But gangsters are real
I live up here in the Pacific N.W! Have never seen one but on more than one occasion have heard some of the most blood curdling screams! I have spent most of my life hunting and fishing in these mountains and nothing comes close to duplicating the shear volume of these screams! It's like they resonate through your whole body!
Like ur cheerful disposition and clear and concise explanations, cheers francis
This year especially June and July the sasquatch have been very active. They are showing themselves to more and more people, letting more and more people know they are there and watching us.
Yes its starting to get serious
Forget about that!! He used a Dewalt chain saw!! I'M A MILWAUKEE MAN!!!

No they're not bigfoot doesn't exist
Yes Luck be careful out there. I’m from WVa and they are real. Nancy.
@@nancykesselring1486 bigfoot doesn't exist
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.
@@kaikart123 really
Seen 5 or 6 bobcat here in CT. Chased a couple off the farm a few years ago too. They're elusive creatures!
A bobcat is a lynx. And a bobcat is 20lbs vs a sasquatch which is anywhere from 200-1000lbs and 5'-10' tall, depending on age. Unless it's a baby, which is unlikely without it's mother.
Ever had one bang on the side of your cabin above your head and play with the door knob while throwing it's shoulder into the door? Because that happened to my cabin in Bruce Mines.
“I have no idea what month it is…don’t judge me.” Thanks for the laughs Luke! Also, I am loving the drone footage! I live in East Tennessee, and your shots of the other side of this mountain range are amazing. So beautiful! Thanks again.
My camping days are pretty much over, but I am loving that set up. It looks so cozy, but yet looks sturdy!
I don't know how you can sleep so sound out in the nowhere when something is walking around your tent at night. Glad you have protection. Be safe.

@@thomasowens5824 no but they jump
@@austindobbe3067 I just read up on these creatures, being in the uk its was never an issue but foreign dog imports have brought them to our island now, which dont jump but land on you as you brush against them...either way they are vile indeed.
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.
You should go listen to 10 episodes from Wes at sasquatch chronicles. I've listened to upwards of 30 to 40 of his podcasts where he interviews witnesses. Everyday people experiencing exactly what your describing and much more. I'd check it out. Or don't if you want to enjoy the woods fear free... ;) stay safe man!
@@joshbarrow6246 lol fear free, I don't get scared I go for the fight. In my job we go out to very remote areas alone night and day to work on Wells. Some of the guys talk about things that spooked them and won't go to some of those places again. I volunteer and switch up routes with them all the time. We can't carry firearms so, I carry a Kabar BK7, I tell the guys if there's something out there, I'm coming back with real proof if I don't come back that's one bad mother.
It happened to me being a teenager and my friend. Exactly same story just like yours. But without growl. It was crazy!!!
Welcome to the club. 25 years of wilderness SAR in the Pacific NW… Seen some things.
I saw one face to face 1978ish West slope White Pass Washington
“Seen some things”. Impossible to be more vague!
@@richlabombard6780 ... I saw some things too, trees, birds, rocks, grass ...
@@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059 People tend to think they are smarter than they are. You're an example of that.
Listen to people who get off the beaten paths in the woods, they have experience in their outings or adventures.
If you could tell me what could throw over 100 large rocks and small boulders into a river at 2am in a remote location, let me know. Last time I checked, bears and meth heads arent able to.
I used to live out in the PNW as a kid, the woods there are so vast its certainly believable that there's something out there. Heck, I recall hearing in the local news that 2 hikers were found dead with their heads smashed in by rocks. Could quite possibly have been the local drug farmers, but could have been something else entirely.
I've had the same thing happen camping solo in Ohio. Weirdest thing is as you said whatever it was ran away. Heard them around my shelter all night long. Never bothered me. Just seemed curious. There out there! Native Americans were not making up stories for there social media page lol.
Same here. Have bee. Paralled out of woods and screamed at in Woodbury. Rocks thrown in ponds we were fishing.
If you see rock piles about a foot high or so, that's their territory markers. And they are everywhere. The wood structures/tree structures are them probably passing time and abandoned shelters. As long as one is respectful, they usually are. But these are at times, hunters of opportunity. Hence the missing people and livestock.
@@chuckythedoll4815 send me your email. I'll send ya something.

There comes a point to where even a non believer has to admit that there is alot of evidence for something that isn't supposed to exist.

You can't discount the reports of sightings that go back hundreds of years.
@@jeffalbillar7625 ... Bodies have been found???? I want some of whatever it is you're smokin'! .... do you see little green space aliens too?
I have been away from camping for many years. I was always busy to my career and then after retiring, I started my own business, so I was trying to grow my business and handle every aspect of it. I’m older now and have a 10 year old grandson. He and I want to spend some weekends away at parks, beaches, fishing etc, so I appreciate you trying new things and equipment. Thanks for doing this for us novices! It does help!
"Strength and honor" - love it! I miss cruising on my sailboat before getting married, and camping with my son and husband later on.
I'm sorry about your uncle. I just lost my dad to cancer. It was in his lungs and bones. He was diagnosed in December. We lost him in march
I don’t know you but I’m sad to hear of your loss. I lost my Dad in May, 8 years ago, time sure goes by quickly.
The common saying by most of us is that we lost them, you didn’t lose him. He’s with you everyday, in every action, every word, and every deed. He still lives through you and in your memory and because of your comment I think you’ll represent him very well. I apologize for butting in and hope that I don’t offend you with my comments. You may not believe as I do but know that he is still watching over you, watching you grow, smiling as you conquer what life throws at you, and watching you be the person that he prepared you to be. I hope that your grief fades quickly and that you see him in the mirror every day.
I'm very sorry Keith! - Luke
My deepest condolences Keith, I'm so sorry.
Would recommend that you carry a personal locator beacon device with you if you're going to be camping in the woods alone. Love your reviews! 👍👍
Excellent advice. And a Drone too if possible...and also more people?
I never carry any 'safety' equipment when heading into the wilderness, not even maps...and definitely not a locator beacon. I value the simple fact that I'm not carrying all that crap. I don't actually want anyone to know where I am nor where I'm going. I'm exploring the unknown and tasting adventure. I seek out danger.
@@Globetrotter-1 if you value your life so little, that's on you, but don't call these things crap. a locator beacon is a smart thing and should be standard imo. so many things can happen and it's easily fixed with that one small device.
@@slXD100 if you're that fearful of dying, then simply stay in your box watching TV. I love life and have explored the wildest regions on earth across 💯 different countries. I certainly don't need beacons or to follow tracks. I'm happy and confident in unexplored areas carrying zero location devices. I felt the same at 15--years of age. Now after 64-years living on this beautiful planet, I think I'm experienced enough to understand what it means to survive in the wilderness.
What if they use those devices to find prey
I love it when you say cheers to everyone 🍻 ❤
LOVE THE DRONE FOOTAGE of that large forest reserve in full green majesty!
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.
Video quality are in next level! Appreciate it! Thank you for review our products! Keep strong!
A few years ago a close friend contracted Lyme disease. He eventually lost a lot of his cartilage in his knees and ankles. He later had trouble with his elboes and waist. It made for a pretty miserable life. Be diligent about ticks!
This is from a Native American well versed in the ways of Sasquatch:“...both spirit and real being, but he can also glide through the forest, like a moose with big antlers, as though the trees weren’t there.”
Really enjoyed your video, found it by accident while looking for a Dave Paulides video. I was like you, grew up in the Ozark mountains, spent my whole life in the woods on on the waterways including the mighty MO River. 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!
I'll always be looking too.
Yup. When you're out in the woods and your hearing is sharpened you can distinctly hear the leaves brush against the bipedal thighs. You're the first person I've heard pointing out the same things.
Wait I want to hear more explain please
Whenever I can’t get out and away, watching your videos is the next best way to get away to clear my mind. Glad I came across your channel!
I would HATE camping ,I like my comfort but I love watching Lukes channel, when my boys were teens one of their frends asked if they could set up a large tent in our garden and about six lads were going to join them including my two boys of course, they set up a huge tent ,BBQ,enough food to feed an army etc,we left the back door open as our garden was very secure but we live in a safe area of the UK anyway by the sea so no worries there, it must of been around 4am , when we heard a hugh banging noise,me and hubby leapt out of bed ran into the kitchen just in time to see all the lads all fighting to get through the door at once, they were all shouting 'don't go out there ' at 4am I was happy to oblige, in the morning the story was they had heard a growling all night,the bravest two were sent to investigate and had seen everything from ufo's to ghosts,when the growling started again they all took flight, my hubby investigate in the morning,the growling was a bush caught in a broken fence,I must admit it did sound like a growl when the wind blew, I should think at 4am on windy night their imagination was running pretty high , we never told them everyone needs a good yarn to tell, gave me and hubby a good giggle for months after 😂
I am sorry about your uncle Luke.
Take time for yourself, you are an amazingly strong guy, but you have to give yourself a break and take time in the woods for your own good. Love to you all ❤
Speaking of vaccines and ticks, I really, really, wish there was still a vaccine for lyme disease available. One of my friends has had life long health issues after getting it years ago.
Dont really need one for humans anymore. In most cases, per the CDC, the tick needs to be latched for 36 to 48 hrs. Frequent tick checks will save the hassle. Sorry for your friend though. Lyme disease syndrome still has unknown causes, but for most people, antibiotics stop lyme in its tracks.

@@jeremymoses7401 Yeah, I'm pretty sure in his case it was because he went a significant amount of time without treatment. If he'd gotten a course of antibiotics early on it probably would have gone away. I've heard different things about why LYMERix was discontinued but I just saw now that the CDC says it was a lack of demand. That seems different from a vaccine being completely unnecessary or redundant.
@@orion3253 lol, it seems theyve gotten pretty bad in recent years. I was into my 30s before i even seen a tick outside of a deer carcass. Now it seems they turn up anywhere. Caught a male wood tick crawling on me at the Drs office last week and i hadnt even been in the sticks. Luckily, ive found the VA or my provider atleast, is pretty cool about it. Get one that latches, give them a heads up, "you see that 'bullseye', come see us".
I hope they never find him as they would probably kill him. So let him be!
This channel is a gem. Luke can simply say "strength and honor" right after mentioning a very controversial and politically charged topic and there's literally nobody arguing and saying hateful things in the comments section. You're a legend, Luke. Awesome channel and community.
I mean as as long as he isn't saying "blood and honor", lol
Many do not tell their stories because they don't want the ridicule. My doctor once said: there are many things that never happened before.
Sometimes squirrels wearing rain boots can almost mimic the sounds of Big Foot.
True.
So does puss in boots
On the other hand, Big Foot has been known to shape-shift as a squirrel. Just something to think about when you're observing a squirrel.
Little suckers can be pretty loud.
Can confirm; I was the boot.
When you've had an encounter you have no choice but to not believe but know big foot exist!
Kellie Lamb,
True, once someone has seen sasquatch then they know that they ARE out there.
I'm from New Mexico, Been hunting all my life. I did experience the craziest roar.. like a lion, And then it spoke some kind of weird language and finished its roar without skipping a beat!!

The Bigfoot probably went home and told his wife that there was a weird human watching him and how scary of an experience it was.
I’m not sure if you’re serious or halfway serious but I think this probably happens. If they are part human then that would be their natural response lol
I love this comment omg lol!! XD

You knew it was bigfoot. That's why you mentioned it. Great vid like usual🤘
That would be a good spot for a bigfoot man. That is a whole lot of nature. I like that pack and the tent. Both look pretty decent.
This design has been in use for several decades.I have a tent known as the peapod .This tent is at least 40 years old and was used back in the day by a company called Ultimate equipment. Great video ATB
Luke, man I have to say its so cool to see a genuine gentleman! Stay safe on your travels an as always enjoy!
They say every first nations tribe has their own story's of sasquatch,I personally believe. And I think maybe the reason why more dont actually see,because it doesn't want seen,and only having the power to do that makes that happen
A Native friend of mine took a 17.5 in track 30 minutes from my home. Cheers from Mt Rainier
Not just in North America- Himalayas and Siberia have nearly the same stories. Legends and anecdotes aren't evidence, but they're reason to look for evidence.
One eye whiteness testimony will get a man the electric chair, hanging, bullet, or life in prison. Yet, thousands of good, honest peoples Bigfoot experience testimonies gets laughs. It's real funny when you are the experienced. Ha ha ha Idiots ! Wake up and stop letting your lying government lead you around by the nose.
Probably the same with Santa Claus, just doesn't want to be seen. lol
That depends on what kind and how much Peyote they smoke.

Great video. I got the vaccine and have been doing great. Moderna 1st shot was a little bit rough: malaise. 2nd was fine. I have been able to see friends and family again and I am very thankful. Looking forward to a camping trip with a friend.
No vax for me brother. My sister in law had a awful reaction to the J&J. As for the real important subject, sasquatch, i have had several encounters over the last 20 years and have had a few sightings here in the mountains of NC. I had a up close and personal day time sighting while cutting timber that changed my whole way of looking at the world. It wasn't my first sighting but it was the one that made me look at these beings as people instead of animals. As for hammock camping, i have had them circle me and my friends stealth camp all night near hanging rock NC. We were 5 miles from the nearest road so it deff. Wasn't a human. Sorry for the long rant. Keep up the good work brother!
Jake
5 miles away ??? That really isn't far from any roadways!!!!
@@bigfootswatching9986 5 miles as the crow flies is totally different than 5 miles of mountainous terrain in NC.

I went tree planting 4 years ago. In one spot we camped, something big was walking near my tent. I growled at it as I clutched my bear spray. I thought it might have been a bear or moose but now that I think about it it didn't sound like it had 4 legs....but the footstep sounds were loud!
I'll never know.
Probably could have opened my tent to see but maybe was better I didn't.
I have been run our of the woods by something " grunting" at me.
2yrs later, same area, something was whopping at me at night.
I am a firm believer in the phenomenon of of sasquatch

@@TheOutdoorGearReview Hi Luke, hope u r good and your uncle is more comfortable, was suprised that you were so relaxed with the pacing around your camp. Defo sounded bipedal to me. I'm convinced about sasquatch, not from personal experience but witness testimony and evidence such as footprints, hair and DNA analysis. Not sure if you've heard of David Paulides (CanAm Project Missing 411) but this is one of his Bigfoot presentations:

In the night, in the woods when you are alone, the sound of all bigger animals walking arround is like a two steps from a human lol thats my experience ^^
Hahaha nahh it won't freak me out ...it would make me think if it's edible and thus getting hungry and getting my crossbow out haha

Have you ever watched that documentary called "Missing 411: The Hunted
"? It's legit creepy.
I just watched that movie on Prime after I saw your post and now I want to go camping by Dillon Lake in California after hearing the bigfoots vocalizing.
It would be scary as hell and exciting at the same time.
There's lots of weird things that live deep out in them woods
Unfortunately most of those stories are exaggerated and falsified. Most of them aren't real. And the ones that are have been solved. The guy who made that stretches the stories just to keep people hooked. Don't believe that bs.
"Missing 411" has as much credibility as ghost hunting programs that get orgasmic over "orbs". "Bigfoot" type legends in North America have been suspected in close to ZERO disappearances throughout history, but now we're supposed to believe that Sasquatch is kidnapping scores of people every decade? Yeah, I don't think so. And they're not even interesting as pure entertainment.
Its legit a money earner fo sho.
The plier and pipe... brass pipe in the middle of the woods.. moonshine.. ticks, never had one, in 47 years outdoors, fishing, hunting, hiking, and i have had 11 mosquito bites... 11... great film pal. Stay safe
just curious, how is that snoot since the surgery? don't think there has been any update on it. great video.
Don’t be so ‘nosey’ lol 🤣…JK…yeah an update would be good.
Lol! I wondered about that as well..🤔👃👣
I've healed up nicely, thank you very much Andrew. - Luke
@@TheOutdoorGearReview good deal!
Well from all i was ever taught when a bear is checking u out one of their tactics is to circle u over and over sometimes for hours-especially at night- before they decide to either attack u or walk away-most of the time bears will stay away from people but there's always that one time when bears will think they have the upper hand and well u get the picture
Thank you for sharing with us all. Always respect Mother Nature. Just yesterday I witnessed a 10 foot plus alligator catch a large soft-shelled turtle in the small pond behind my apartment complex. I live just outside of Tampa. Amazing power and speed from this ambush preditor.🙁 RESPECT.
I saw tracks in Colorado, on the mountain, in the middle of nowhere. We were on a Jeep Pass. Heard a grunt and we left.
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.
Why do you have to laugh when you say Bigfoot if you don't believe then be it when you laugh you're calling all the people with incounther's crazy and that's more than a 1000's looks like you mite of lost some followers ( like me)
paulides is a sensationalist author , he was blacklisted from bigfoot research community for making up stuff
The reason a high percentage of missing people is from Yosemite is because it get the highest amount of tourist/hikers, makes sense.
@@bertramtarpley8628 Because you failed to address anyone specific, I'm not positive whether or not your repy is directed to me. All I will say is "Controversal claims require strong evidence", of which a verbal claim is only a starting point.
I was just going to ask if you have read David’s books. I’m in process now of trying to convince a female friend not to hike Yosemite alone. She won’t listen…..
Ok, I got it.....you killed bigfoot and put him on the muffler
🤣🤣🤣
LOL
Hahaha
😂😂😂
With hand warmers
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.
@@dimtso6107 they tried and wasted 2 billion tax payers dollars before they gave up the can have the pistols and high round military type guns just leave me alone with my 300 win mag and 12gauge alone of course my opinion 😉have a great day
@@dimtso6107 very nice chatting with you I hope you have a great nite
There's always a possibility of some unknown. Really glad you spent an OK night in the vast forest. Sorry for your family, and about family illness.
traveling in the woods for almost 50 years i've seen bigfoot once but herd him many times he is out there
I guess "traveling in the woods for almost 50 years" will do that to people!
I genuinely find these videos quite calming indeed. Almost therapeutic.
In southwest VA we call Bigfoot a Woodbugger. Supposedly smaller and meaner that the Pacific Northwest version. That being said....i have never seen one.
It will be that mechanic, looking for his lost pliers and metal pole?
