I was born and raised in the Missouri Ozarks..have lived here all my life. You are 100% correct. There's some deep dense wilderness out here. Alot of hills, bluffs, and caves, and criss-crossed with creeks and streams, springs, and various other water sources. Chris in the beginning that there's "500 caves", but there's ALOT more than that. Maybe 500 known and mapped caves. But a whole hell of alot more caves that are unexplored and unmapped. Missouri in general has the second most caves in the country, next to Tennessee. Theres literally thousands of them that haven't been explored or mapped, and who knows how many that haven't even been discovered yet. The state of Missouri in general, on down into Northern Arkansas, is a pretty big and rugged wilderness for sure. You are right..most people really don't have a clue just how wild it is here.
@@mattjack3983 that’s dope what’s even crazier is how deep those caves go miles and miles its literally a underworld humans aren’t able to find or explore due to remoteness.
Ive lived in the Missouri Ozarks my whole life..born and raised. We've definitely got some very deep and rugged wilderness here. Alot more that most people may realize. Reports of bigfoot/sasquatch go back many decades. They're called "wood boogers" and "wood apes" here. The "MoMo" (Missouri Monster) is another name for them, but most people call them wood boogers or wood apes. The Ozarks are definitely a hot spot, and theres as much activity and reports here as the Pacific Northwest.
I’m from down southern Mo. After high school I went into the military and even though I visit relatives ever so often, I have never been back to live there. I do miss it and still call it “down home”. When I was young I’d walk in the woods all day on Saturday. Did I ever see or hear anything strange? Yes. But didn’t realize just how strange until years later as what I thought was happening was I thought I was being harassed by hill people as we were so far away from town. I miss down home. Now I don’t live in Missouri and I’m 60 years old and caring for my wife with pancreatic cancer. But my life is a life I would do all over again if given the opportunity. Sorry for the run on. I get nostalgic when talking of my old days. ☺️
😊Good Morning Chris!! Enjoying the morning and drinking a cup of coffee...my dogs(rescues) are all around me and I am watching your video.. I never knew that Sasquatch's can mimic sounds..that's kinda creepy.😮😮 Randall, sounds like an interesting fella...he has guts to stay on his property and live there with his "neighbors " per say... Great story for a Sunday morning!! Keep hiking and see you next Sunday!!
Been totally alone in the Ozarks over night a few times. Never camped in the Mark Twain National Forest but I've heard a lot of stories. It is now on my 2024 bucket list. I can't wait.
Sir you are aan of adventure and I thank you for sharing. When I was a younger man my wife"s grandparents were raised in the bottom lands of Mississippi and in the country there were no lights except by the house and it was only dark. They both told me many stories of growing up with the " bears". Except they were not the black bears of teddy Roosevelt they were " hairy men" I figured out later. These folks were very God-fearing, and didn't lie. Ever. Thank you for the time and money you put into your work. God bless you and keep on hiking!
Hello Richard , do you know if they ever saw one of these hairy men with a clear line of sight and with enough light to undoubtedly say what they were ? The way you described your wife’s grandparents it makes their retelling very believable. Thank you
Comparing notes with MrBallen's episode about the Afghanistan giant, I think that the 6 fingers and 6 toes matches the Biblical description of the sons of Anak, a tribe of humans that were much taller and larger than most people. Also, Esau, the brother of Isaac and son of Abraham, was a very very hairy man. It said he was covered with hair, so much so that his brother Isaac wore a goat skin when he was trying to pretend to be him. So the genetics are there for a "bigfoot" who is actually human. Even 3,000-4,000 years ago (the time of Abraham to the time of them fighting the Anak in the promised land) those genetics were the minority.
I love this account of Randall's (Craypaw)! His peaceful approach, and willingness to share the land is beautiful and inspiring. And his choice of songs is pretty cool. Best to Craypaw and to you, Chris. Thank you for sharing.
Early Monday morning in Aotearoa/New Zealand, the first country to receive the morning light of the new day. Woke up to another great story just waiting to be enjoyed! I really liked the way this man sang and talked to Bigfoot, and how he had the impression that the big man/woman was listening to him. There is so much the learn and to understand about these very elusive dwellers of the forest and mountains. Thank you for today’s story, Chris, expertly shared as always. 🍺
@@basecampchris Thanks Chris. We have just found ourselves with a new 3-WAY coalition government. Oh boy, how’s that going to go!! ❓❓❓🆘 At this early point, they’re cracking on to the people that they can work together - be interesting, because before they had to (now) they all swore blind that they NEVER would. Huh! 🤣😂😅😇 Happy and safe hiking.
He did the right thing - announced his presence and purpose, told them he wasn't a threat and would not bother them, etc. And they do understand. They want respect just like us and he gave it to them.
My daughter went elk hunting with her hubby in the Big Horns here in Wyoming. They came upon a stacked pile of bones under a pine tree. They smelled something very rancid although they didn't see anything I think they came upon a hairy mans abode. It was a walk through the hills to that location and she says she doubts that she would ever find her way to that exact spot it was snowy and they had gone into the trees to get out of the wind. They found those bones and made tracks for the truck. That's the 1st time I heard that they were up in my local mountains. Happy hairy men making more of them and spreading out into our beloved woods. Hopefully we can make peace with them and be happy neighbors.
AMAZING!! So interesting to hear that someone took an opposite approach to one of these forest animals! It seems that they are just trying to make you leave their area by throwing the rocks, which NORMALLY works 😆 It’s a little scary that they still throw the rocks, but it almost seems that they miss on purpose?! I haven’t heard a story of anyone being hit by a rock…yet. 😳 Maybe those are some of the Missing 411 people!
Interesting! I've watched all of Paul Paulides videos as well (The 411 missing people via Coast to Coast Radio's YT videos.) Last night I binged on more Bigfoot docs! Some very compelling stories!
Chris, you and the stories that are sent in that you tell, have become something I look forward to all week leading up to Sunday morning. Beautiful scenery, great sound effects and a great story orator. Thank you for all you do and for bringing us, your viewers and listeners, such great content. I'm thankful for "Base Camp Chris". Until next time, "Keep Hiking". Steve in Sarasota, FL.
Welcome Chris, always look forward to your stories. They're so interesting and exciting. Wish I could get out into the forest and maybe see one. Bring Jeanette on board in the videos and if you come across a good Flying Saucer story, please show it. I'm 85 and have seen many of them over my lifetime. Well I'll skedaddle now and look forward to your next good distant friend.❤❤❤
@@jimfisk4474In 1993 Christmas Eve My family had a 3Part Visitation from the Tall Nordic Angelic Whites Firetrail Road Marysville Wa. I ll be sharing it with Basecamp. It was amazing and they are still watching.
I was alone camping at a dispersed site off a dirt road when I heard a very loud crash or thud. It was in the middle of the night a couple years ago. I was in my cot tent and listened for more sounds like foot steps, rolling or anything. There was none. I came out of my tent and appreciated the full moon and went back inside. It was the weirdest thing. It didn't sound like a tree branch and it was just one loud bang (not a gun). No cars. No humans. Didn't pay attention or took note of the regular forest sounds. Just decided not to think weird thoughts and allowed myself to fall asleep believing my angels were protecting me. Anyway, now I wonder if I did have a Sasquatch experience. Wish I could describe that sound. I looked around the next morning and my site was down a hill next to a creek. Seems that anything that was fallen or thrown would have rolled but there was no other sound before or after it.
Another great story! If I were Randall and I could play a musical instrument and sing, I would play my musical instrument for the Bigfoots in the evening around a roaring fire, and afterwards, leave them some food. Kinda like a concert in the woods except the attendees are Bigfoot. They would probably look forward to it.
That Honda CRV is clean!🤩 and is sweet!! Be careful. Being alone is dangerous. I had a lot of supernatural experiences up in the Sierras. Spent many many years up in those areas, all the way above Bridgeport. I am an Emp. Intuitive. Make sure to keep a satellite phone and personal locator beacon on you. May you be protected. The world is evil and the veil is thinning all the time. We really are not alone. Humans , well…are vulnerable. Also cloaking is possible. If you could see into the supernatural you would realize there’s things going on all around you. Listen to your gut. The most High me protects me. 😊First time listener. Pretty cool!
Chris, I enjoyed your storytelling very much this morning. I am grateful for this kind of entertainment, real life is stranger than fiction. Your awesome delivery never fails to inspire me to share my own stories from my life- of the weird wonders I've experienced. No bigfoots yet, though I believe they are real. I loved Randall's way of dealing with the situation, what a wonderful guy.
This is a great story. I think humans could use this approach and be able to peacefully live among the hairy man people. I would be armed to possibly protect myself. Thank you for your service.
@pamelaflores4129 Hi Pamela, is there a sight/ channel where you share your stories of the weird ?( I like stories of the weird if you can't tell) my weirdest one was a loud Crack from. Something tripping over a log or branch in swamp behind my house them hearing like a grunt sound ( kinda like a human being mad they tripped) so I shined flashlight in that direction and had a pinkish eyeshine looking back that was walking but couldn't tell exactly what it was. Could have been a deer tho. But was weird. Anyway lemme know if ya got a channel/sight. Thanks.
Chickens,ducks, rabbits,dogs, an kids are fed, kids are bathed,me an tha wife are hunkered down hot cup of mud in muh cup living life in SC, and another story from Chris, life's good !!!
I spent my teenage years around West Plains, MO, between it and the MT Forest, and wow, I've had some spooky experiences. There were a few months in 1992 when something kept coming around our property and getting upset with our barking dog. I went out one night to call her away from it, saying, "Gypsy (dog's name), come over here!" In a deep, raspy voice, it repeated the command from the woods. I went back inside. I figured the dog can bark all she wanted. There were some other things that happened, but I'd rather not talk about them here. But this is the first time I've heard such a story that was so similar to what I've experienced, and in the same area. I believe this is legit.
Kindness, he was no longer a threat by singing … also I’ve heard they respond to singing. 🤷♀️Wonderful encounter. I would never camp overnight, anywhere, in any forest on earth. 😄
I don’t think you should be afraid to camp. I have lived in a forest for the past 10 years, and from my experience, all the animals just want to be left alone. They aren’t looking to come after you, unless you go looking for trouble. I stay in my house for the most part after dark bc I figure daytime is my time and night time is their (predator’s) time.
I loved this story, Chris. Randall seems to be a very level headed individual. I respect that. As an aside, have you ever heard a barred owl. I used to hear them when I went on vacation up in eastern Canada. They sometimes sound like angry monkeys. If this creature was a sasquatch, or a wild man, or a wild animal, mimicking an angry owl is one way to get the message across.
I have barred owls where I live. Yes, sometimes the hoots turn into crazy monkey noises. The first time my friend and I heard one was something like 20 years ago, out in the woods, and it terrified us. We had no idea at the time what it was. I heard more over the next few days (I lived right at the edge of the woods), and realized they were owls. But for some reason the monkey noises they were making that particular year were crazier than I've ever heard since, and I still live in the same area. I don't know if it was something in the water or what, but they sounded like monsters that year.
I have them on my property and when they get real worked up they sound like several people being murdered, horribly. I've had them swoop me from behind and scare the crap out of me. They're a real treat to have around and, seriously, I love them though.
thank you Chris! I think this is one of my favorite stories that you have gifted us! It has everything from real scary to a great ending! I hope Rabdall will send in updates once in awhile! I love your show!
Barbara, if you tap the tiny 3 circles at the top right of your comment with your finger you’ll see the edit button and you can also speed up the speed also. And CC stands for captions if you need the. Have a great day!
I did the samething. I had the very same experiences when camping by myself. I told them i was there friend with my palms held up. He is absolutely right. You have to fight the fear, and remain calm. They are very intelligent. They just comunicate differently than we do. Can be very trying to say the least. Problem is though, that Bigfoot can and does have other creatures that work in tandem with them, and around them.
Another great story! Thanks Chris! Love how the guy was able to overcome his reactive flight or fight impulses with calm/objective reasoning and defuse the situation by applying a bit of psychological strategy- works with people too :)
Several times while camping I have "confronted" whatever it is around my camp. I did the exact same thing, announced that I'm armed, and you should leave me alone. I often will then advance on it and every time but once it always turned out to be some animal fleeing. The one time it did not flee my dog sat back at camp looking at me like "ummm not this time boss" we packed up and left immediately LOL.I had the distinct feeling whatever it was wanted my dog.
@@basecampchris There's alot more to that story and I don't believe it was related to Bigfoot in anyway, But something was standing its ground and seemed to be more interested in my dog than me. My dog had sat in camp and "watched" this thing walk back and forth just outside the camp...couldn't hear it or see it myself but she sure could. Maybe a bobcat, yote or even cougar, but I didn't want her to be in danger and of course I wasn't scared at all LOL!
@@dedet6900 Having trained and hunted deer dogs in Va for about 20 years in my youth. I've yet to encounter anything that will not run from a pack of dogs, unless of course its cornered or treed. If by "they" you mean Bigfoot until I see a body on a slab, I'm going to roll with there is no completely undiscovered anything over 5lbs in the continental US.
It's a chilly fall morning and I'm sitting here with my kitty kat having breakfast watching the latest video. This is the best way to start my week, Sunday mornings. I am a new subscriber, but I have been able to watch most all your videos you of encounter's that happen in the woods all over North America. Thank you and I'll be looking forward to seeing more in 2024, I hope.
I grew up in the Missouri Ozarks. There is a tale. During a skrimish in the Civil War, some soldiers stole a wagon full of gold and hid it in a cave and died before they were able to come back and claim it. Supposedly the area that this cave was located would eventually become Table Rock Lake. So if a diver was crazy enough to explore underwater caves there could possibly be a wagon load of civil war gold waiting to be claimed.
Many many years ago, I had thoughts of living way out in the country. Thankfully I never made it farther than a few miles out of town. After seeing this country and how large it is, I've seen and I've sensed things, that are out in the way way out of town or far from cities, and I am not camping or living in the outer lands. It's just not safe in this day and age, for it is written, that at the end of the age, the beasts of the wild, shall lose their fear of man. If a serial killer don't get you, a creature will. I'm too old to run, and I'm not into roughing it anymore.
Thank you for the story. Beautifully read as usual. Nice that you read my remarks on “finish” as opposed to “aftertaste “. Looking forward to your next instalment. Bless.
Great story Chris. I have always thought that more people should talk outloud and let them know they mean no harm and just want to live in peace or just passing thru if they are hiking.
Hello Chris, just wanted to say hi since this is the first video I’ve seen of yours. I’m going to subscribe because I enjoyed this very much. There are lots of things out in the woods in the Ozark mountains. I grew up in NW Arkansas. I never had to be told to stay out of the woods at night. The hair on my arms would stand up straight when I was being watched. I played in the woods in daytime, but once in a while I felt hunted and left. My older brother was the same way and the only person I talked to about it. My mom, brother and I were woken up one night by something calling our names and saying come out. It sounded like a woman. We never figured that one out. I live 50 miles closer to Little Rock now and no woods around this property. I feel much safer. Thanks for the story. Brenda
Randall did the right thing , they understand us , he communicated with it , probably has a family there , young ones throwing rocks . They won't harm him and take time to earn there trust . Good one Chris , peace and love brother !
Hello Chris! That's another awesome experience right there my friend, I enjoy how you tell it, you really put us right there, right in the action and we like it too! 🤗 👣 👣👣 Keep Hiking Chris! 👣👣👣
Thanks again Chris for another interesting story! I was eating dinner while watching and thanks for the great pictures too. I am 81 and female and don't get out in the wilds anymore, but love the photos and videos.
I live 15 miles from Arkansas /Missouri line. Very north central Arkansas. The Ozark National Forest is all around me. I hunt several miles deep in the forest. With no issues. There are alot of bears.
I really enjoyed this one Chris! I've been waiting all week again for Sunday lol I'm addicted ever since I found your channel! Keep up the great work sir
Lol, Thats what I did when I had my encounter, I just started talking to it because I couldnt run, and I didnt know what else to do! I asked him to please not hurt me or my children and I told him that I wouldnt hurt him or his children, I begged and I pleaded and then I started praying.
I love your channel, it's the very best of RUclips. I have to say that your stories have brought back several things that happened when I was a child and my parents took us camping all the time in northern MN. I heard a lot of the things people tell you during your talks. The rocks or tree limbs thrown against the tent, the odd animal calls, the woods suddenly going totally quiet, the feeling of being watched. These things all came back to me.
I love how you add the sound effects. I’ve never watched one of your videos before so I wasn’t expecting the sound effects and I thought there was an owl outside for a second and the footstep sounds really freaked me out for a second lol. I subscribed and am going to check out some more of your videos. Cheers
Thank You again scared the” ? “out of me.😬🙄 U are a master storyteller 👍 So, Appreciate them and in all the amazing people who believe in You to inform us on their encounters.. 😬..❤️🌺👍
Very unusual and intriguing story. The owl and growl with the footsteps sound effects gave me the creeps. Randall indeed had a very unique way of dealing with Mr. Sasquatch. The fact that he continued to stay on the property was gutsy. I think he had old Bigfoot figured out. I usually watch your videos at night so they're even more scary. Great storytelling as always, Chris.
Yeah, Randall is the kind of guy I want in my corner!! What an incredible human being and I wish the world had more Randall’s and more Basecamp Chris’ in it!! Chris, you seem like a great guy too. A good wholesome man like I’m raising my son to be cause I’m very similar!! Keep up the great work Chris and thank you Randall for being who you are!! Obviously, you too Chris!!
CHRIS IS SO BRAVE. I’m far more scared of leaving my vehicle at the trailhead for stone-cold car prowlers to plunder, than I am of Gigantopithicus and his myriad truly horrifying relatives…
I just don't have one trip experiences like some of the comments you have I have an everyday experience of howling in the woods I have deep woods with a walk path that I walk by the woods. And feel like something's watching you. 👀
i love his choice of songs!! i would've been belting them out with him! and also his choice to stand his ground right on Randall! proud to be a fellow subscriber with you
First thing I thought of was the terrifying "owls" encounter that I had in SE Missouri. I was pretty young, and I remember desperately looking for signs along the highway, but there was nothing to identify where we were. My grandfather had some relatives that used to run a spring for tourists, but it had been closed for years. This was the 70s. They took us down, down, down, towards the spring. Then I hear some hooting and immediately a shiver went down my spine -- this was no owl! I'm pretty sure that I said so, too. There was a huge old barn down in the hollow, and we could look down and see the roof. The hooting picked up. I remember one to the north hooting to another to the south of the barn. It was like a warning to the rest. The trail did not take us too close to this barn, but the further we went down the trail, the more hooting there was. At first, the hooting was around the barn -- and it became obvious to the adults that these were not owls. I stopped and would not go further. They went just a bit further when all heck broke loose. The "owls" in the barn started hooting. It sounded like over a dozen of them, and they were loud! This hooting really started "taking off" -- extremely loud, and it started to sound like apes. Next thing you know, it sounds like a mad ape house. No hooting, just angry, deep, ape noises. We did not run -- even I knew better than to run -- but we got out of there fast! The noise was almost deafening. But, as we got back up to the top, close to the highway, the loudness decreased. They were still making the noise, just not as loud. For a short time there, it sounded almost demonic. I don't think that they were owls.
@@angelwalker979awww… I missed it! What was the first title?! 🧐 I love BaseCampChris & his channel so much!!! I’m sure it must have been pretty funny 😅!
Hey Chris u need to come visit eastern Oregon my friend awesome country buietifull aswell but verry challenging the eagles the cascades the blues u gotta come visit shout out to Chris from baker City Oregon god bless my friend
My husband is from South Missouri. When we go visit there I'm looking into those deep pine forest areas now with a new outlook. Thanks for sharing this story.
Hi Chris-I hope you had a nice holiday. You are such an awesome story teller. I worked a few hours today, got home settled in for the evening and found this story. Perfect way to end the day!😊
The water(8:38) reminds me of a cold spring my Grandparents took me and my Brother to in Wilburton Oklahoma.Beautiful stream and cold even in the summertime.Natures beauty.
Once again a great story. I always look forward to them. Actually, I listen first thing in the morning then later my husband ( when he finally gets up)💤 wants to watch and I get to watch it again 👀😀😀
This is one of the scariest stories you have shared with us. Thank you, Chris, we also appreciate you and all the good people contributing with their awesome stories. 😊
Waited till bedtime to watch. What a Sunday bedtime treat. Also I've said this before but I'll say it again, I love .... "That's Next" adds to the suspense. Thank you Chris and have a great week.
Wow Chris, this story is wild!! So eerie. Randall is such a brave soul!! I couldn't take a flashlight and move it around in fear of what I would see. Lol. Your great sound effects made me jump a bit. I've always had this conclusion that Bigfoot isn't violent. Territorial but not violent. He's probably just as nervous as a person is. Who knows but what a good story!!! Thanks Chris. Stay safe.❤
Amazing story. Your eyewitness, Randall starts singing out loud to the bigfoot. It's the melodic tone that calmed it down. Why harm someone that's singing to you! It's something I've thought about. The way us humans have probably amused and perhaps entertained sasquatches. With singing, also water skiing on a lake, it could be crouched down behind trees and bushes watching such activities. Who knows. Keep hiking.
People have no idea how wild the Southern MO Ozarks are. Endless miles of deep forest, clear water and beautiful scenery
I have heard!

A hot cup of coffee, dogs are fed and a new story from Chris. Sunday mornings cant get any better.
😊Good Morning Chris!! Enjoying the morning and drinking a cup of coffee...my dogs(rescues) are all around me and I am watching your video..
I never knew that Sasquatch's can mimic sounds..that's kinda creepy.😮😮

Great story for a Sunday morning!!
Keep hiking and see you next Sunday!!
Sounds great 👌
I have the same routine, except when the CAT is fed.😸
I wonder what the outcome would have been if he had chosen to sing "Help!" or "Nowhere Man"......
It's hard but I always save chris's stories for bedtime.

I haven’t heard a story of anyone being hit by a rock…yet. 😳 Maybe those are some of the Missing 411 people!
Interesting! I've watched all of Paul Paulides videos as well (The 411 missing people via Coast to Coast Radio's YT videos.)
Last night I binged on more Bigfoot docs! Some very compelling stories!
I agree...a different approach made the difference.🌲

Chris, you and the stories that are sent in that you tell, have become something I look forward to all week leading up to Sunday morning.
Beautiful scenery, great sound effects and a great story orator.
Thank you for all you do and for bringing us, your viewers and listeners, such great content.
I'm thankful for "Base Camp Chris".
Until next time, "Keep Hiking".
Steve in Sarasota, FL.
Me too! 👍☺😱❣
Welcome Chris, always look forward to your stories. They're so interesting and exciting. Wish I could get out into the forest and maybe see one. Bring Jeanette on board in the videos and if you come across a good Flying Saucer story, please show it. I'm 85 and have seen many of them over my lifetime. Well I'll skedaddle now and look forward to your next good distant friend.❤❤❤

@@CraigStephens777yes please send it!!
I don't like to miss a Base Camp Chris episode. It's that fun to watch.
I’m grateful for you Chris and the Bigfoot stories. Keep them coming!
Thank you! C👀🌲🍺🦉will do!
I picture the big foot tilting it’s head,, like a dog,, trying to understand his singing lol 🎶
LOL! Yes- most likely! C🐻
I love this story. I had a large rock thrown at me. I've heard their sounds. But I think they just want to be left alone
I agree! Wow - to have a rock thrown at you...watch yourself...sounds like you handled it well.
I was alone camping at a dispersed site off a dirt road when I heard a very loud crash or thud. It was in the middle of the night a couple years ago. I was in my cot tent and listened for more sounds like foot steps, rolling or anything. There was none. I came out of my tent and appreciated the full moon and went back inside. It was the weirdest thing. It didn't sound like a tree branch and it was just one loud bang (not a gun). No cars. No humans. Didn't pay attention or took note of the regular forest sounds. Just decided not to think weird thoughts and allowed myself to fall asleep believing my angels were protecting me.
Anyway, now I wonder if I did have a Sasquatch experience. Wish I could describe that sound. I looked around the next morning and my site was down a hill next to a creek. Seems that anything that was fallen or thrown would have rolled but there was no other sound before or after it.
Another great story! If I were Randall and I could play a musical instrument and sing, I would play my musical instrument for the Bigfoots in the evening around a roaring fire, and afterwards, leave them some food. Kinda like a concert in the woods except the attendees are Bigfoot. They would probably look forward to it.
They are attracted to flutes and drums! First nation elders know this first hand!!!
That Honda CRV is clean!🤩 and is sweet!! Be careful. Being alone is dangerous. I had a lot of supernatural experiences up in the Sierras. Spent many many years up in those areas, all the way above Bridgeport. I am an Emp. Intuitive. Make sure to keep a satellite phone and personal locator beacon on you. May you be protected. The world is evil and the veil is thinning all the time. We really are not alone. Humans , well…are vulnerable. Also cloaking is possible. If you could see into the supernatural you would realize there’s things going on all around you. Listen to your gut. The most High me protects me. 😊First time listener. Pretty cool!
Thank you! C🌞
Chris, I enjoyed your storytelling very much this morning. I am grateful for this kind of entertainment, real life is stranger than fiction. Your awesome delivery never fails to inspire me to share my own stories from my life- of the weird wonders I've experienced. No bigfoots yet, though I believe they are real. I loved Randall's way of dealing with the situation, what a wonderful guy.
Thanks Pamela! C👀🌲🍺🦉c
This is a great story. I think humans could use this approach and be able to peacefully live among the hairy man people. I would be armed to possibly protect myself. Thank you for your service.
@pamelaflores4129
Hi Pamela, is there a sight/ channel where you share your stories of the weird ?( I like stories of the weird if you can't tell) my weirdest one was a loud Crack from. Something tripping over a log or branch in swamp behind my house them hearing like a grunt sound ( kinda like a human being mad they tripped) so I shined flashlight in that direction and had a pinkish eyeshine looking back that was walking but couldn't tell exactly what it was. Could have been a deer tho. But was weird. Anyway lemme know if ya got a channel/sight. Thanks.

I spent my teenage years around West Plains, MO, between it and the MT Forest, and wow, I've had some spooky experiences. There were a few months in 1992 when something kept coming around our property and getting upset with our barking dog. I went out one night to call her away from it, saying, "Gypsy (dog's name), come over here!" In a deep, raspy voice, it repeated the command from the woods. I went back inside. I figured the dog can bark all she wanted. There were some other things that happened, but I'd rather not talk about them here.
But this is the first time I've heard such a story that was so similar to what I've experienced, and in the same area. I believe this is legit.
Thank you for sharing that! C
Please share your experiences Chris channel is the place for you to tell!🙂
I hunt near West Plains and they are out there. Had quite a few experiences on the Eleven Point River.
Kindness, he was no longer a threat by singing … also I’ve heard they respond to singing. 🤷♀️Wonderful encounter. I would never camp overnight, anywhere, in any forest on earth. 😄
I don’t think you should be afraid to camp. I have lived in a forest for the past 10 years, and from my experience, all the animals just want to be left alone. They aren’t looking to come after you, unless you go looking for trouble. I stay in my house for the most part after dark bc I figure daytime is my time and night time is their (predator’s) time.
I loved this story, Chris. Randall seems to be a very level headed individual. I respect that. As an aside, have you ever heard a barred owl. I used to hear them when I went on vacation up in eastern Canada. They sometimes sound like angry monkeys. If this creature was a sasquatch, or a wild man, or a wild animal, mimicking an angry owl is one way to get the message across.
I have barred owls where I live. Yes, sometimes the hoots turn into crazy monkey noises. The first time my friend and I heard one was something like 20 years ago, out in the woods, and it terrified us. We had no idea at the time what it was. I heard more over the next few days (I lived right at the edge of the woods), and realized they were owls. But for some reason the monkey noises they were making that particular year were crazier than I've ever heard since, and I still live in the same area. I don't know if it was something in the water or what, but they sounded like monsters that year.
I have them on my property and when they get real worked up they sound like several people being murdered, horribly. I've had them swoop me from behind and scare the crap out of me. They're a real treat to have around and, seriously, I love them though.
Good morning, we have a cup of joe ☕️ and we're ready to get this party started! We love your stories, Chris! ❤👣
thank you Chris! I think this is one of my favorite stories that you have gifted us! It has everything from real scary to a great ending! I hope Rabdall will send in updates once in awhile! I love your show!
sorry, I mispelled Randall! I have no way to edit😁
Thank you !!! 👀🌲🍺🦉c

What breathtaking scenery!! THank you for the story, real good.
I did the samething. I had the very same experiences when camping by myself. I told them i was there friend with my palms held up.
He is absolutely right. You have to fight the fear, and remain calm. They are very intelligent. They just comunicate differently than we do. Can be very trying to say the least.
Problem is though, that Bigfoot can and does have other creatures that work in tandem with them, and around them.
Another great story! Thanks Chris! Love how the guy was able to overcome his reactive flight or fight impulses with calm/objective reasoning and defuse the situation by applying a bit of psychological strategy- works with people too :)
Couldn't agree more! Welcome!! 👀🌲🍺🦉
Several times while camping I have "confronted" whatever it is around my camp. I did the exact same thing, announced that I'm armed, and you should leave me alone. I often will then advance on it and every time but once it always turned out to be some animal fleeing. The one time it did not flee my dog sat back at camp looking at me like "ummm not this time boss" we packed up and left immediately LOL.I had the distinct feeling whatever it was wanted my dog.
Wow! Good call to leave....c
@@basecampchris
There's alot more to that story and I don't believe it was related to Bigfoot in anyway, But something was standing its ground and seemed to be more interested in my dog than me. My dog had sat in camp and "watched" this thing walk back and forth just outside the camp...couldn't hear it or see it myself but she sure could.
Maybe a bobcat, yote or even cougar, but I didn't want her to be in danger and of course I wasn't scared at all LOL!
Apparently they HATE dogs and it appears that dogs return the feeling, except they’re terrified BF can and will, kill the dog.

Having trained and hunted deer dogs in Va for about 20 years in my youth. I've yet to encounter anything that will not run from a pack of dogs, unless of course its cornered or treed.

Nice way to start my Sunday, always enjoyable Chris. My stomping grounds, and Randel’s story hits home with me, the Ozarks are my playground.
It's a chilly fall morning and I'm sitting here with my kitty kat having breakfast watching the latest video. This is the best way to start my week, Sunday mornings. I am a new subscriber, but I have been able to watch most all your videos you of encounter's that happen in the woods all over North America. Thank you and I'll be looking forward to seeing more in 2024, I hope.
Awesome Janis...more to come in 2024! Say hi to your Kitty Kat! C🦉👀🌲🍺
I grew up in the Missouri Ozarks. There is a tale. During a skrimish in the Civil War, some soldiers stole a wagon full of gold and hid it in a cave and died before they were able to come back and claim it. Supposedly the area that this cave was located would eventually become Table Rock Lake. So if a diver was crazy enough to explore underwater caves there could possibly be a wagon load of civil war gold waiting to be claimed.
Many many years ago, I had thoughts of living way out in the country. Thankfully I never made it farther than a few miles out of town. After seeing this country and how large it is, I've seen and I've sensed things, that are out in the way way out of town or far from cities, and I am not camping or living in the outer lands. It's just not safe in this day and age, for it is written, that at the end of the age, the beasts of the wild, shall lose their fear of man. If a serial killer don't get you, a creature will. I'm too old to run, and I'm not into roughing it anymore.
Hey Chris, thank you for bringing this testimonials to us, I also hope you and your listeners had a wonderful thanksgiving weekend.
Thank you. I had a great one. hope you had a great Thanksgiving too. 😊
What a great story...I love Randall's reaction to the thing in the woods.
Another great story Chris. Thank you, always enjoy your work, and taking all of us on your hikes with nice scenery. You take care out there.
Thank you for the story. Beautifully read as usual. Nice that you read my remarks on “finish” as opposed to “aftertaste “. Looking forward to your next instalment. Bless.
Great story Chris. I have always thought that more people should talk outloud and let them know they mean no harm and just want to live in peace or just passing thru if they are hiking.
I agree! Thanks C🌲

PS I have one of those hats.
Hello Chris, just wanted to say hi since this is the first video I’ve seen of yours. I’m going to subscribe because I enjoyed this very much. There are lots of things out in the woods in the Ozark mountains. I grew up in NW Arkansas. I never had to be told to stay out of the woods at night. The hair on my arms would stand up straight when I was being watched. I played in the woods in daytime, but once in a while I felt hunted and left. My older brother was the same way and the only person I talked to about it. My mom, brother and I were woken up one night by something calling our names and saying come out. It sounded like a woman. We never figured that one out. I live 50 miles closer to Little Rock now and no woods around this property. I feel much safer. Thanks for the story. Brenda
Hi Chris... I really like the art on that can of beer!...Scary story! Randall is a pretty cool guy!🙋✨🌟
Your so fortunate to able to be outside enjoying life. Health is unpredictable. I wish you long life. I love your stories!
Thank you so much! 🍁
Wonderful story and well done telling it. You are awfully brave being out by yourself.
Randall did the right thing , they understand us , he communicated with it , probably has a family there , young ones throwing rocks . They won't harm him and take time to earn there trust . Good one Chris , peace and love brother !
What a great story. I liked how he talked to it. It’s like they came to an understanding that allowed them to co-exist. Really cool stuff!
Love the background sounds! Great ĵob as always ❤
Thank you! 🤗
Hello Chris! That's another awesome experience right there my friend, I enjoy how you tell it, you really put us right there, right in the action and we like it too! 🤗

Thanks again Chris for another interesting story! I was eating dinner while watching and thanks for the great pictures too. I am 81 and female and don't get out in the wilds anymore, but love the photos and videos.
I live 15 miles from Arkansas /Missouri line. Very north central Arkansas. The Ozark National Forest is all around me. I hunt several miles deep in the forest. With no issues. There are alot of bears.
I really enjoyed this one Chris! I've been waiting all week again for Sunday lol I'm addicted ever since I found your channel! Keep up the great work sir
Awesome! Thank you!🌲🦉👀🍺c
@@basecampchris hope you and your family had a great thanksgiving 🦃🙏
Lol, Thats what I did when I had my encounter, I just started talking to it because I couldnt run, and I didnt know what else to do! I asked him to please not hurt me or my children and I told him that I wouldnt hurt him or his children, I begged and I pleaded and then I started praying.
Wow...Carrie...I'd like to hear your story...you are very brave!
@@basecampchris ok, I will send it.
I love your channel, it's the very best of RUclips. I have to say that your stories have brought back several things that happened when I was a child and my parents took us camping all the time in northern MN. I heard a lot of the things people tell you during your talks. The rocks or tree limbs thrown against the tent, the odd animal calls, the woods suddenly going totally quiet, the feeling of being watched. These things all came back to me.
I love how you add the sound effects. I’ve never watched one of your videos before so I wasn’t expecting the sound effects and I thought there was an owl outside for a second and the footstep sounds really freaked me out for a second lol. I subscribed and am going to check out some more of your videos. Cheers
Coffee and Base Camp Chris stories on Sunday… perfect 😊☕️
Enjoy!☕🌞🦉🌲c
Love the sound effects that you add into your stories
Thank You again scared the” ? “out of me.😬🙄 U are a master storyteller 👍 So, Appreciate them and in all the amazing people who believe in You to inform us on their encounters.. 😬..❤️🌺👍
Very unusual and intriguing story. The owl and growl with the footsteps sound effects gave me the creeps. Randall indeed had a very unique way of dealing with Mr. Sasquatch. The fact that he continued to stay on the property was gutsy. I think he had old Bigfoot figured out. I usually watch your videos at night so they're even more scary. Great storytelling as always, Chris.
Yeah, Randall is the kind of guy I want in my corner!! What an incredible human being and I wish the world had more Randall’s and more Basecamp Chris’ in it!! Chris, you seem like a great guy too. A good wholesome man like I’m raising my son to be cause I’m very similar!! Keep up the great work Chris and thank you Randall for being who you are!! Obviously, you too Chris!!
My homestead is off the grid in the Ozark’s of S Missouri r next door too Mark Twain … I remember my grandfather’s many stories similarities
Yup, that was a "wow" story. Thank you for the story, Chris. God bless!
CHRIS IS SO BRAVE.
I’m far more scared of leaving my vehicle at the trailhead for stone-cold car prowlers to plunder, than I am of Gigantopithicus and his myriad truly horrifying relatives…
I just don't have one trip experiences like some of the comments you have I have an everyday experience of howling in the woods I have deep woods with a walk path that I walk by the woods. And feel like something's watching you. 👀
Beautiful Place, Lucky to live in such a scenic part of our beautiful country. Thanks for Sharing the beauty. And the spooky stories.

Yes I have! c👀🌲🍺🦉
i love his choice of songs!! i would've been belting them out with him! and also his choice to stand his ground right on Randall! proud to be a fellow subscriber with you
First thing I thought of was the terrifying "owls" encounter that I had in SE Missouri. I was pretty young, and I remember desperately looking for signs along the highway, but there was nothing to identify where we were. My grandfather had some relatives that used to run a spring for tourists, but it had been closed for years. This was the 70s.
They took us down, down, down, towards the spring. Then I hear some hooting and immediately a shiver went down my spine -- this was no owl! I'm pretty sure that I said so, too. There was a huge old barn down in the hollow, and we could look down and see the roof. The hooting picked up. I remember one to the north hooting to another to the south of the barn. It was like a warning to the rest.
The trail did not take us too close to this barn, but the further we went down the trail, the more hooting there was. At first, the hooting was around the barn -- and it became obvious to the adults that these were not owls. I stopped and would not go further. They went just a bit further when all heck broke loose. The "owls" in the barn started hooting. It sounded like over a dozen of them, and they were loud!
This hooting really started "taking off" -- extremely loud, and it started to sound like apes. Next thing you know, it sounds like a mad ape house. No hooting, just angry, deep, ape noises. We did not run -- even I knew better than to run -- but we got out of there fast! The noise was almost deafening. But, as we got back up to the top, close to the highway, the loudness decreased. They were still making the noise, just not as loud.
For a short time there, it sounded almost demonic. I don't think that they were owls.
MAKE SURE YOU WRITE THIS DOWN AND KEEP IT.PASS IT DOWN TO YOUR FAMILY IT MAY HELP
@@Spirits2000 I don't know anyone in the family who would care.
I love they way you tell these stories. And it's obvious you're a genuine and caring person. I appreciate it very much.

Waking up for some breakfast and Chris's stories, nothing better to start a sunny day.
Wow Chris, this story is wild!! So eerie. Randall is such a brave soul!! I couldn't take a flashlight and move it around in fear of what I would see. Lol. Your great sound effects made me jump a bit. I've always had this conclusion that Bigfoot isn't violent. Territorial but not violent. He's probably just as nervous as a person is. Who knows but what a good story!!! Thanks Chris. Stay safe.❤
Amazing story. Your eyewitness, Randall starts singing out loud to the bigfoot. It's the melodic tone that calmed it down. Why harm someone that's singing to you!
It's something I've thought about. The way us humans have probably amused and perhaps entertained sasquatches. With singing, also water skiing on a lake, it could be crouched down behind trees and bushes watching such activities. Who knows. Keep hiking.
Good Story, Chris. I live just a the foothills of the Ozarks in Northeast Arkansas. Be Safe. 🙏🙏🙏
