Bryan, thank you for your heartfelt response to the atrocities that led to the person on this video. Your empathy shows through on every single video. Do take some time to heal, and don't worry about others. This is your channel, and people come here to not only learn about how people went missing, but about them as people. That's where your character shines through.
Never ever go into the woods without a firearm. People must learn that they have to be able to take care of themselves from predators - be they two legged or four legged. If you value your life, be prepared to defend it.
It really surprises me the people that go hiking without a firearm for protection , I can't for the life of me understand their thought process . Like the saying goes , better to have and not need than to need and not have !
@@MainePredator I have never understood it either. When I turned 18 I got a rifle and have never hiked or camped without it. Now, I take my pick of what to carry. But I never go without one. Same with a radio. And now the latest is SPOT-X - an affordable satellite location tracker and texting device. Even if I go down from a heart attack and am unconscious SPOT-X will auto transmit my location via text to any numbers I have programmed in, including 911 SAR. Wouldn't think to go afield without the rifle or the satellite comm device, and especially in bear country, a .338 Winmag. Good luck. Stay safe.
My son who will be 41 this year and has been and out of prison since 15...he is bipolar and pyctsophrinic I was and am afraid of my own child , it is a hard life, but having said this...sometimes after trying everything you can took them to get help, you just have to lock the doors and pray!
You were the first to really bring this case all together, after so many years It's great that the families are getting some closure. But so sad and what a monster this person could have been. terrible tragedy:(
You’re such a compassionate, wonderful person, Bryan. I could tell how much this hurt you to make. I’m so sorry. You can be around this type of stuff too much. And insomnia is tough. I’m sure you’ve already cut down the sugar and caffeine. I hope you get some relief there. Take good care- your fans love you!
Thank you Bryan for the difficult narrative of this monster. I know that reading this would be a challenge for anyone who has a heart and kindness like you, Bryan. I feel for the families, and wish them well.
In my opinion, you have NOTHING to apologize for. A few minor mispronunciations and stumbling over the odd word here or there does not detract from your well made videos. Thanks again.

Don't be so sure of that. O'Biden and his band of lawless demoncons have been releasing hardened prisoners all over the United States under the guise of this "Covid" BS> all the while letting illegal mexicans cross the border in droves. And none of them are required to follow any of this tyrannical medical apartheid crap. Because they "care about our health" ya know....💩

We can not fully operate when we don't sleep enough. You are young, and probably driven to perform and produce. Please find time to do nothing. It is okay.
#Bryan'sMysteriesAndAdventuresOnTrail I agree with Sally. There are a million topics out there, and YOU should choose the ones that you're inclined to make a video on...because it's your time and effort, and YOUR channel.

Always stick to what you feel interested in, and comfortable with ❤️

Solo hiking is safer than driving a car as long people don’t do really stupid things. I feel safer alone in the mountains than anywhere in the world. I’m a rape survivor and have been sexually assaulted countless times in the form of grouping from strange males in cities, in public most of the time. I have been sexually harassed countless times by males everywhere from grocery stores to exercise classes. Taking my dogs or going without them on hikes is more freeing than anything in the world to me. It’s an amazing escape from violent men and all the trauma I have experienced in my life and continue to experience. I have never been sexually harassed, assaulted or raped in the woods, only in the city surrounded by people. Carrying weapons of choice different kinds is important for anywhere we go, so of course that includes camping/hiking.
I will add that we don’t all have the privilege of having friends to hike with often or at alll. Also, hiking groups can have predators or just not be convenient for everyone, not to mention some introverts don’t enjoy it because we thrive off our alone time with our passions.
Pack weapons to protect you when you go out there. The wilderness is an opportunistic situation for people like this. There ARE a lot of people like that out there. Im sure many never get caught. Hence the missing 411.
As a National Parks visitor and camping fanatic these kind of stories scare me. I’ve always wondered what’s stopping anyone from going to secluded campsites and inflicting harm on others where no cameras are present to help police track down the killer.
I find your stories informative, concise & well done. There are always negative peeps, but pay them no mind. Thank you for doing this story & I share your frustration with such tragedies. Thanks Bryan! ♥️✌🏽
The vibe I get when I watch your videos is like having an old friend sit down and tell you a story - You do it well and I keep coming back for more! Thanks for all your work Bryan! May you get rested!
Yet they receive life in prison at tax payer expense while the victims are in the grave. Some justice system. No wonder they take a life for a few dollars. There is no accountability for their evil.
@@reesedaniel5835100% true. Horrible. And the rest of us are left with a little less trust in our fellow human beings. I used to hike alone quite often. Thank God I didn't run into one of these real monsters
While Hilton was convicted for four murders, he is suspected in at least 65 other National Forest murders that have occurred in the Southeast. All share the distinguishing traits of the way he disposed of the bodies by decapitating/dismembering the hands then putting the body in a ditch and covering it with sticks and branches and also using his victims’ bank cards. His primary motive was robbery but he was known to rape some of his victims.
@Palmyre Zele Hilton was sentenced to death in FL and that sentence was upheld by the FL Supreme Court in August of 2021 after 10 years of appeals. However, Hilton’s FL conviction could still be appealed to SCOTUS.
Is a Tallahassee native I applaud your effort to attempt the names of our Forrest’s and roads! I remember this when it happened, it truly is horrible what he did to these people.
Do not apologize! When I listen, it feels real, like I'm having a conversation. I like your format & am enjoying your channel. I am sorry about your insomnia. Sending you light, love & peace. ✌
I really enjoy listening to Bryan tell stories. His voice is very soothing and exhibits extreme sincerity. His honesty and emotion comes through into the story and I wouldn’t change a thing.
Sad story. Seriously, you do you. It’s your channel, your time, and your passion project. There are always those who will leave comments that are not constructive. You are the only person on RUclips that I listen to the very end…I love your personal touch at the end. Keep on keeping on.
Bryan, there is no need to apologize for anything. I enjoy your stories just as they are and love that you tell them with sensitivity for the victims and their families. Thank you so much for all that you do as your stories are always so heartfelt and that is why I love them so much. People are so entitled these days and forget how much work goes into providing these stories and that they are watching them for free. Just know there are many of us that truly appreciate the time and effort you put into all of your stories. I’m sure this was a difficult story to tell as it was to hear, but you did a wonderful job of not only showing respect and reverence for the victims but also by keeping their memories alive. Praying you are getting more sleep at night.🙏🏻😊
Please don’t apologize for stumbling over words! When I first found your page I will admit I noticed the small mistakes, but then I realized that it’s so easy to judge others when all you watch or listen to is scripted and rehearsed content. I stumble over my words every day, and I appreciate the reality of your channel so much more now! Humanity needs to be humbled.
You are intelligent, compassionate, objective, polite and just pure good. Please don't change a thing. I never scroll past your uploads. Keep it real and keep it up, please, sir.
He is absolutely dispicable. It was well known here in the South East. I've been with you since the beginning and always until the end. I have insomnia as well. Today was the third anniversary of my daughter's death from cancer. You're a human Bryan. You're a story teller not a script reader. How's you 🦶? Stay true!!
Your compassionate work is a huge comfort and warning to so many. Thank you for heart. By the way, you have nothing to apologize for. Your style is real and authentic. I wouldn’t want to listen if it were scripted.
Genesis 3:15/Psalm 58:3-5 (Seedline of Cain/Esau). They lack empathy and a normal conscience because their original father was the Serpent. Most of the "elite" ruling over the governments (and us by default) are of this seedline as well.
RIP to the victims Please don't apologize for your video's and how you present them. If people don't like it, they don't have to watch. You do an amazing job, especially with your compassion.
I look forward to your videos... you are so caring and passionate about this topic. Obviously I'm not the only one who thinks this way. Keep on being you. 😁
I appreciate your content and the way that you present it. The world is full of critics, not doers mind you ,but critics. Don't ever change anything about yourself because of them. Some of the best advice my Mother ever gave me was "Always consider the source!" You do a great job and apparently sixty thousand people agree! Carry on, my friend, carry on!
What a very difficult story to share, and please, never apologize about how you present the overall picture of what transpired. You are very respectful and clearly have a caring heart. I have been to several National Parks over the years, and after listening to today's story, I will definitely carry some kind of protective gear, whether it be pepper spray, a knife, or all of the above. I love my walks, and nature is so healing. Thank you, Bryan, God bless your caring soul/spirit. 🌲
Carry wasp or hornet spray, it sprays out seventeen feet and is nasty to encounter. When hiking it is always important to hike with at least another person or more and carry a knife at all times.that is part of the "ten essentials" used by savvy outdoors persons. Hornet spray has a longer reach then pepper spray and will stop any living thing, haven't tried it on bears since the local ones don't bother us. We live where bears do as well. Safe travels to you and check out the recommended safety equipment found in sporting goods stores , The National park Service, the best defense is education and preparation, and hike with a buddy or two. I personally carry a Buck knife as well as my Dad's WWII issued knife, but I always hike with others. See you on the trails!
With family in both Tallahasssee and in Georgia this monster’s acts really hit too close to home for me. Poor Meredith… I heard that she loved her beloved dog so much that she actually encouraged him to run away towards the end of her captivity before the unthinkable happened.. and her dog was so smart he knew something was up. Thank you for covering this heart wrenching story. Meredith had her entire life ahead of her 💔
Bryan another great job on this horrific story. We can tell you are passionate about the stories but more than that the people. Keep up the good work. I hope your foot is getting better. (Sorry. I kind of lost track on your situation ☺️)
You are doing a great job, Bryan. These are very difficult subjects to discuss. It’s no doubt you struggle with insomnia and sound so tired! Is there a chance you can take some time off and set this “heavy stuff” aside for awhile? I’m praying for you. Peace!
Bryan thenk you for this work you do a great job and have a spirit of love . May the Lord help you to overcome the insomnia and pour put blessings to you.
I think you do a great job!!! Who doesn’t stumble over their words sometimes? The important thing is you present your material with knowledge and respect. Keep doing what you do!!!
You and your channel are great my friend...thats why I subscribed some time back. You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of or apologetic for. Stay strong and be exactly who you are, take care
Bryan keep up the good work. I love your genuine compassion for the victims in all your videos. Your straight forward approach and heartfelt delivery keeps me coming back for more. I’m amazed at how much content you put out. Thank you.
An extremely difficult tale of evil to tell and Bryan you told it so well, with heartfelt empathy for the victims and all who knew and loved them. It is difficult beyond words for decent people to imagine what goes so awry in someone’s mind that they freely and even happily could terrorize another human being. There are some vile people in this world , some of whom are masters of manipulation. Some serial killers are described as charming even. People write to these killers that have been imprisoned. Please don’t let your compassion for people get you down. It won’t help them and will make it progressively harder for you. Thousands upon thousands of people listen to you because they like and respect your thorough, empathetic reports. Those who criticize are insecure souls, people l feel sorry for. Going through life bitter and angry must be a living hell for these folks. Continue to rise above them as you always do and stop apologizing as you have nothing to apologize for! A fan. 👍
Thank you for doing this video your voice is so welcoming and I genuinely love listening to your videos makes me feel so comfortable even though this is a very terrible topic your voice sounds familiar and safe.
Hey Bryan i jst wanted to say that out of all the channels i watch and follow, i have THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR YOU and what you stand for nd beleive in, Alot of people do these types of videos and could care less about how some people are affected. And in my opinion ur true charactor shows that there are still some good people iin this world, worry about yourself and taking time to heal....... i hope ur doing better as ur videos are an insiration to me aand other and FORGET THE NAYSAYERS. Take care dude
BRYAN, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO APPOLOGIZE FOR ANYTHING. WE LOVE YOU WORK, AND CARING HEART. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, WILL BE PRAYING FOR A HEALING WITH YOUR INSOMNIA.
You do a great service by these podcasts really..not all persons know how dangerous it is to be alone in a forest oft trees. Young do not like being told so hopefully they will listen
Bryan, it was really hard watching this. But I understand they have a voice. I’m sorry you have to do so much research on these cases, but it’s all for these beautiful life’s taken🥺God bless🙏🏻
Hey Bryan, I enjoy our videos so much . They give me a break on days when things get monotonous,...especially during the COVID restrictions...not to mention the valuable tips you give on hiking and surviving in the wilderness. And I like that you speak normal, like someone having a conversation...not like an actor reading a script. We can get that anytime on TV . Keep up the good work!!
Your narration technique is unique and honest sir, Don't change it and thanks for the great content. I just discovered your channel and I'm a new Subscriber.👍💯 P.S. I will also b sharing with my fam. and friends.
I really love your channel and the way you present the cases. It's very natural, personaI and heartfelt. I get the feeling of being at the dinner table listening to you recounting these stories. Your channel is perfect the way it is:)
You're juuust fine, I'm glad I found your channel not long ago. Some people just wanna complain. You do you, I enjoy your stories... as hard to hear as some are. Take care~
No apologies needed Brian! ALL your stories and videos are wonderful. You give it your personal touch and that's exactly why they are so fabulous!! Thank you
I loved your story telling on this video Especially the snarky crimey comments I empathize You are always so respectful everyone who watches your channel knows your heart is in this. I thank you for that I watch and listen when I can’t sleep 💤 I have insomnia too Natrol 5 HTP helps me Keep up the amazing videos Your imagery is always on point 🙏🙏🙏
Your videos are so interesting I never notice the mistakes 🙂 People are always going to complain. Keep doing what your doing. It's a valuable service. you seem to have a kind spirit which is refreshing in this day and age 🌞
I love your channel. It is nice to hear you share your thoughts on these crimes. You are a genuinely good person. This world needs more people like you. God’s peace and love to you. 🌻🙏
This is a great channel, Bryan. It's so obvious that you're speaking from your heart and truly care about the victims and their families. It doesn't matter if you stumble over pronouncing some of the 35 letter names of American locations. They're difficult, if not impossible, for most people to pronounce.... Then you're told you mispronounced it anyway.... "That's not how we say it here." That's happened to me many times! Lol. So don't think twice if you mispronounce a person's name or the name of a location on the map. What matters is the content and the spirit in which it's presented, and you're a 100% winner🏆where it counts! You're bringing to light stories of incidents and people who need to be remembered, and that's everything good in my book! God bless you, Bryan! You're a great presenter and we all love to hear the stories you bring to us. Thank you!
@bawattsyl Bryan, Please don't feel like you need to apologize for anything!! Your channel is awesome & so are you ❤. The time you invest in researching the actual facts of the story is obvious to any educated person. You have vast knowledge of the subject matter and any back stories and it shows through as you talk about them. Much love & respect, Kathy
Bryan, i have insomnia for 15+ yrs due to chronic pain and anxiety. I appreciate your channel. I was a speech pathologist for 18+ yrs and know multisyllable words can be challenging especially when chronic lack of sleep affects us. Keep up the great work. You help get my mind off my health.
AND PLEASE DONT LET THESE A-HOLES BOTHER U AND TRY AND HURT AND BRING U DOWN. I like ur channel and could care less if its not perfect and u as they say stumble were here cause we like it and if others dont well they can leave thanx again Bryan
Hi Bryan, I have been subscribing for a while now, and I was instantly drawn to your channel because of the tone of your voice. I work in the field of mental health and addiction and have come to realize that content of what people say is always secondary to how people say it. I love how you invite us to share in the grief and loss of others through recounting their life narrative and offering prayer and remembrance. It is important that we share in the sorrow of others, empathy is important to cultivate,and you help us with that. That is heavy emotional labor. I have rarely had insomnia, but until I had the experience, I had no idea how excruciating the condition can be. Thank you for your commitment to this body of work that you have constructed out of your own suffering. Warm regards, H.
Thank you for that very kind and personal comment! I really appreciate it! And yes unfortunately with my foot being broken(getting better) my insomnia has been bad and I'm often up in the wee hours of the mornings making these videos, so yes I know I sound tired sometimes, which is why I explained at the end and thanked people for their understanding.. yet some rude people were saying oh he's drunk.. which did upset me because for one I would never make a video while drinking and 2) I don't drink. It's amazing how people judge with absolutely no knowledge or proof.. Anyway, I really appreciate your kind feedback and sharing your thoughts and thank you for being a member of the family🙏
@@bawattsyl I had a knee injury once and it hurt to sleep on my back or either side--I feel your pain. Ibuprofen would only dull the misery. I noticed you seemed to be really off your mark but assumed it was medicine you were taking and lack of sleep. Screw the haters.
@@flirtybunny3362 thank you, yeah actually I'm trying not to take any medicine but just think of how people sound when they first wake up. I've been suffering such insomnia that I've been beyond exhausted.. and honestly I didn't even Want to make this video because it was so upsetting but it was one of the highest requested. Part of it was me struggling to tell this horrible story. It just makes me so mad that this coward did these horrible things. And I also didn't want people to be scared to go hiking. But at the same time I was very disappointed with the ex cop who saw this man with a police batton and just thought it was a man and daughter.. who the heck carries a police batton on Trail? Idk the whole case was just very upsetting. Thank you for understanding and your mind feedback🙏 I really appreciate it!
Hey Bryan, thank u so much for what u do. Don’t let any of the negative comments get u down. Your podcast is awesome. All these people with their negativity I wonder when they were learning something new if they started out perfect. I doubt it. I’m sending u much love and peace. Great job. Hope your foot is better. God Bless 😍
Bryan, your free form storytelling is what I love so much about your channel. I feel like I’m sitting down with my friend for a chat. Who gives a flying f#@k if you, ‘stumble’? You’re a real person talking to us like real people. You’re doing a great job!! I love your channel and look forward to watching all your videos!!

Sad story. Seriously, you do you. It’s your channel, your time, and your passion project. There are always those who will leave comments that are not constructive. You are the only person on RUclips that I listen to the very end…I love your personal touch at the end. Keep on keeping on.
thanks for the upload!
Bryan, there is no need to apologize for anything. I enjoy your stories just as they are and love that you tell them with sensitivity for the victims and their families. Thank you so much for all that you do as your stories are always so heartfelt and that is why I love them so much. People are so entitled these days and forget how much work goes into providing these stories and that they are watching them for free. Just know there are many of us that truly appreciate the time and effort you put into all of your stories. I’m sure this was a difficult story to tell as it was to hear, but you did a wonderful job of not only showing respect and reverence for the victims but also by keeping their memories alive. Praying you are getting more sleep at night.🙏🏻😊
Please don’t apologize for stumbling over words! When I first found your page I will admit I noticed the small mistakes, but then I realized that it’s so easy to judge others when all you watch or listen to is scripted and rehearsed content. I stumble over my words every day, and I appreciate the reality of your channel so much more now! Humanity needs to be humbled.
You are intelligent, compassionate, objective, polite and just pure good. Please don't change a thing. I never scroll past your uploads. Keep it real and keep it up, please, sir.
Bryan, it's your words and personality that made me sub your channel. I love the easy-going, gentle way that you deliver as well as the content.
He is absolutely dispicable.
It was well known here in the South East. I've been with you since the beginning and always until the end. I have insomnia as well. Today was the third anniversary of my daughter's death from cancer. You're a human Bryan. You're a story teller not a script reader. How's you 🦶? Stay true!!
Your compassionate work is a huge comfort and warning to so many. Thank you for heart.
By the way, you have nothing to apologize for. Your style is real and authentic. I wouldn’t want to listen if it were scripted.
Thanks Bryan. We know these videos aren't always easy to make, but your perspective and the respectful way you present it is always appreciated.
There are many psycho feral individuals roaming this earth. Thank you for sharing this intriguing video. All the best to you, stay healthy. 🤗
Genesis 3:15/Psalm 58:3-5 (Seedline of Cain/Esau). They lack empathy and a normal conscience because their original father was the Serpent. Most of the "elite" ruling over the governments (and us by default) are of this seedline as well.
@@reesedaniel5835 you are absolutely right.
It’s really nice to hear how comfortable you have become in your narration
RIP to the victims
Please don't apologize for your video's and how you present them. If people don't like it, they don't have to watch. You do an amazing job, especially with your compassion.
I look forward to your videos... you are so caring and passionate about this topic. Obviously I'm not the only one who thinks this way. Keep on being you. 😁
Thank you for sharing with us all. It couldn't of been easy. Awareness is something everyone needs
I appreciate your content and the way that you present it. The world is full of critics, not doers mind you ,but critics. Don't ever change anything about yourself because of them. Some of the best advice my Mother ever gave me was "Always consider the source!" You do a great job and apparently sixty thousand people agree! Carry on, my friend, carry on!
Should be an eye for eye, killed exactly how he killed his victims.
What a very difficult story to share, and please, never apologize about how you present the overall picture of what transpired. You are very respectful and clearly have a caring heart. I have been to several National Parks over the years, and after listening to today's story, I will definitely carry some kind of protective gear, whether it be pepper spray, a knife, or all of the above. I love my walks, and nature is so healing. Thank you, Bryan, God bless your caring soul/spirit. 🌲
Carry wasp or hornet spray, it sprays out seventeen feet and is nasty to encounter. When hiking it is always important to hike with at least another person or more and carry a knife at all times.that is part of the "ten essentials" used by savvy outdoors persons. Hornet spray has a longer reach then pepper spray and will stop any living thing, haven't tried it on bears since the local ones don't bother us. We live where bears do as well. Safe travels to you and check out the recommended safety equipment found in sporting goods stores , The National park Service, the best defense is education and preparation, and hike with a buddy or two. I personally carry a Buck knife as well as my Dad's WWII issued knife, but I always hike with others. See you on the trails!
While I condone using wasp spray on human predators I wouldn’t use it on animals. It’s poison, pepper spray and bear mace is not.
You did a good job .....keep doing videos.....dont quit.....youll get better as you do more....subscribed.
With family in both Tallahasssee and in Georgia this monster’s acts really hit too close to home for me. Poor Meredith… I heard that she loved her beloved dog so much that she actually encouraged him to run away towards the end of her captivity before the unthinkable happened.. and her dog was so smart he knew something was up. Thank you for covering this heart wrenching story. Meredith had her entire life ahead of her 💔
Don't apologize for anything. Your doing a great job!! 👍 👏✌🦘🐨🇦🇺
Oh my how horrible what an evil man.....my heart goes out to those beautiful people that there lives were taken my goodness...they are in heaven
You’re awesome!! I’m praying you get a great night’s sleep tonight. ♥️
Bryan another great job on this horrific story. We can tell you are passionate about the stories but more than that the people. Keep up the good work. I hope your foot is getting better. (Sorry. I kind of lost track on your situation ☺️)
You are doing a great job, Bryan. These are very difficult subjects to discuss. It’s no doubt you struggle with insomnia and sound so tired! Is there a chance you can take some time off and set this “heavy stuff” aside for awhile? I’m praying for you. Peace!
Bryan thenk you for this work you do a great job and have a spirit of love . May the Lord help you to overcome the insomnia and pour put blessings to you.
Another great video, thanks!!
Bryan I have the same feeling about this piece of waste. I'll just leave it at that.
I think you do a great job!!! Who doesn’t stumble over their words sometimes? The important thing is you present your material with knowledge and respect. Keep doing what you do!!!
Ha, be yourself & do your best. None of us are perfect. Enjoy your channel. Don’t apologize at all, god loves us just as we are!
Love your videos. Thank you!
You and your channel are great my friend...thats why I subscribed some time back. You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of or apologetic for. Stay strong and be exactly who you are, take care
Evil bad seed the jerk is. You are real Bryan and I appreciate it. I like listening to someone who is not scripted and tells it like it is.
Don't apologize. This is your channel and it's great!
Bryan Your so right, I hate the thought of hurting any human being but with Gary hilton I'll make an exeption.
Bryan keep up the good work. I love your genuine compassion for the victims in all your videos. Your straight forward approach and heartfelt delivery keeps me coming back for more. I’m amazed at how much content you put out. Thank you.
An extremely difficult tale of evil to tell and Bryan you told it so well, with heartfelt empathy for the victims and all who knew and loved them. It is difficult beyond words for decent people to imagine what goes so awry in someone’s mind that they freely and even happily could terrorize another human being. There are some vile people in this world , some of whom are masters of manipulation. Some serial killers are described as charming even. People write to these killers that have been imprisoned. Please don’t let your compassion for people get you down. It won’t help them and will make it progressively harder for you. Thousands upon thousands of people listen to you because they like and respect your thorough, empathetic reports. Those who criticize are insecure souls, people l feel sorry for. Going through life bitter and angry must be a living hell for these folks. Continue to rise above them as you always do and stop apologizing as you have nothing to apologize for! A fan. 👍
Thank you for doing this video your voice is so welcoming and I genuinely love listening to your videos makes me feel so comfortable even though this is a very terrible topic your voice sounds familiar and safe.
Hey Bryan i jst wanted to say that out of all the channels i watch and follow, i have THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR YOU and what you stand for nd beleive in, Alot of people do these types of videos and could care less about how some people are affected. And in my opinion ur true charactor shows that there are still some good people iin this world, worry about yourself and taking time to heal....... i hope ur doing better as ur videos are an insiration to me aand other and FORGET THE NAYSAYERS. Take care dude
BRYAN, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO APPOLOGIZE FOR ANYTHING. WE LOVE YOU WORK, AND CARING HEART. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, WILL BE PRAYING FOR A HEALING WITH YOUR INSOMNIA.
You do a great service by these podcasts really..not all persons know how dangerous it is to be alone in a forest oft trees.
Young do not like being told so hopefully they will listen
Bryan, it was really hard watching this. But I understand they have a voice. I’m sorry you have to do so much research on these cases, but it’s all for these beautiful life’s taken🥺God bless🙏🏻
Huge hugs. You are so endearing and I love your vulnerability. Perfection is not needed these days, heart and caring is vital. ❤️
You are awesome! I have been binging all your videos. You are so kind and thoughtful and I love the way you honor the victims and families 👍👍💗👏👏
Hey Bryan, I enjoy our videos so much . They give me a break on days when things get monotonous,...especially during the COVID restrictions...not to mention the valuable tips you give on hiking and surviving in the wilderness. And I like that you speak normal, like someone having a conversation...not like an actor reading a script. We can get that anytime on TV . Keep up the good work!!
Great job as usual!!
Stay The Way You Are, You Do A Fantastic Job On These Videos. Never take anything anyone says personally.
Your narration technique is unique and honest sir, Don't change it and thanks for the great content. I just discovered your channel and I'm a new Subscriber.👍💯 P.S. I will also b sharing with my fam. and friends.
I really love your channel and the way you present the cases. It's very natural, personaI and heartfelt. I get the feeling of being at the dinner table listening to you recounting these stories. Your channel is perfect the way it is:)
Brian you are e very empathie person and your videos are great. I love them all. Greetings from Switzerland❤❤❤
Dont apologize for your faults we all have them its a great channel with great content
Hey Bryan, I agree about the monster. He shouldn't be sharing our air.
Thank you for being honest and unguarded
You do well, giving respect.
You're juuust fine, I'm glad I found your channel not long ago. Some people just wanna complain. You do you, I enjoy your stories... as hard to hear as some are. Take care~
I enjoy your channel and thanks for doing these video.
Thanks for the video. Keep it up 😊
No apologies needed Brian! ALL your stories and videos are wonderful. You give it your personal touch and that's exactly why they are so fabulous!! Thank you
Thank you so much for your kind feedback and for watching and being a part of Channel. I really appreciate it 🙏
Thank you for calling it like it is. Thank you for all you do infoarming us .
I loved your story telling on this video
Especially the snarky crimey comments I empathize
You are always so respectful everyone who watches your channel knows your heart is in this. I thank you for that
I watch and listen when I can’t sleep 💤 I have insomnia too
Natrol 5 HTP helps me
Keep up the amazing videos
Your imagery is always on point
🙏🙏🙏
Another great video man 👍💯
Great video 💖 I feel your heart, caring for people 💖 You're a good person 💖 please stay positive and kind💖 Love from New Zealand ❤️
Your videos are so interesting I never notice the mistakes 🙂 People are always going to complain. Keep doing what your doing. It's a valuable service. you seem to have a kind spirit which is refreshing in this day and age 🌞
Wow you're really pumping out the good stories! And you're injured!! I appreciate your efforts, these help me get thru my days. Thank you, you rock
Excellent video
another quality video. 👌
Tears flow 😢....great job people need to know.Tough talk sir . Big hug 🫂
I love your channel. It is nice to hear you share your thoughts on these crimes. You are a genuinely good person. This world needs more people like you. God’s peace and love to you. 🌻🙏
This is a great channel, Bryan. It's so obvious that you're speaking from your heart and truly care about the victims and their families. It doesn't matter if you stumble over pronouncing some of the 35 letter names of American locations. They're difficult, if not impossible, for most people to pronounce.... Then you're told you mispronounced it anyway.... "That's not how we say it here." That's happened to me many times! Lol. So don't think twice if you mispronounce a person's name or the name of a location on the map. What matters is the content and the spirit in which it's presented, and you're a 100% winner🏆where it counts! You're bringing to light stories of incidents and people who need to be remembered, and that's everything good in my book! God bless you, Bryan! You're a great presenter and we all love to hear the stories you bring to us. Thank you!
Thank you for that very sweet and thoughtful comment! I really appreciate it 🙏
@bawattsyl
Bryan,
Please don't feel like you need to apologize for anything!! Your channel is awesome & so are you ❤.
The time you invest in researching the actual facts of the story is obvious to any educated person. You have vast knowledge of the subject matter and any back stories and it shows through as you talk about them. Much love & respect,
Kathy
I am so so happy I found this channel. You have amazing stories and I love how genuine you are. You have nothing to apologize for!
Bryan, i have insomnia for 15+ yrs due to chronic pain and anxiety. I appreciate your channel. I was a speech pathologist for 18+ yrs and know multisyllable words can be challenging especially when chronic lack of sleep affects us. Keep up the great work. You help get my mind off my health.
AND PLEASE DONT LET THESE A-HOLES BOTHER U AND TRY AND HURT AND BRING U DOWN. I like ur channel and could care less if its not perfect and u as they say stumble were here cause we like it and if others dont well they can leave thanx again Bryan
Love your voice , keeps me engaged til the end, Keep up on getting awareness out on these stories, but hope sleep comes better.
Hi Bryan, I have been subscribing for a while now, and I was instantly drawn to your channel because of the tone of your voice. I work in the field of mental health and addiction and have come to realize that content of what people say is always secondary to how people say it.
I love how you invite us to share in the grief and loss of others through recounting their life narrative and offering prayer and remembrance. It is important that we share in the sorrow of others, empathy is important to cultivate,and you help us with that. That is heavy emotional labor.
I have rarely had insomnia, but until I had the experience, I had no idea how excruciating the condition can be. Thank you for your commitment to this body of work that you have constructed out of your own suffering.
Warm regards, H.
Thank you for that very kind and personal comment! I really appreciate it! And yes unfortunately with my foot being broken(getting better) my insomnia has been bad and I'm often up in the wee hours of the mornings making these videos, so yes I know I sound tired sometimes, which is why I explained at the end and thanked people for their understanding.. yet some rude people were saying oh he's drunk.. which did upset me because for one I would never make a video while drinking and 2) I don't drink. It's amazing how people judge with absolutely no knowledge or proof.. Anyway, I really appreciate your kind feedback and sharing your thoughts and thank you for being a member of the family🙏
@@bawattsyl I had a knee injury once and it hurt to sleep on my back or either side--I feel your pain. Ibuprofen would only dull the misery. I noticed you seemed to be really off your mark but assumed it was medicine you were taking and lack of sleep. Screw the haters.
@@flirtybunny3362 thank you, yeah actually I'm trying not to take any medicine but just think of how people sound when they first wake up. I've been suffering such insomnia that I've been beyond exhausted.. and honestly I didn't even Want to make this video because it was so upsetting but it was one of the highest requested. Part of it was me struggling to tell this horrible story. It just makes me so mad that this coward did these horrible things. And I also didn't want people to be scared to go hiking. But at the same time I was very disappointed with the ex cop who saw this man with a police batton and just thought it was a man and daughter.. who the heck carries a police batton on Trail? Idk the whole case was just very upsetting. Thank you for understanding and your mind feedback🙏 I really appreciate it!
Hey Bryan, thank u so much for what u do. Don’t let any of the negative comments get u down. Your podcast is awesome. All these people with their negativity I wonder when they were learning something new if they started out perfect. I doubt it. I’m sending u much love and peace. Great job. Hope your foot is better. God Bless 😍
Bryan, your free form storytelling is what I love so much about your channel. I feel like I’m sitting down with my friend for a chat. Who gives a flying f#@k if you, ‘stumble’? You’re a real person talking to us like real people. You’re doing a great job!! I love your channel and look forward to watching all your videos!!
