      I'm not sure of the wisdom of knocking wood to provoke reaction. We don't really know Bigfoot communication but could knocking be communicating territory? Could a human being knocking be perceived as a challenge for territory? If they come to regard human beings as challengers it might not go well for anyone they encounter.

      ​@@rogerantisdel2313 They were drinking, it was supposed to be light and fun. I don't think Rogan meant to be rude, it just came off that way because he was already drunk/high. I am a skeptic of Big Foot, but I actually like Les S.'s approach because it ACTUALLY makes sense. He spends so much time out there, he's got cameras, he's capable of lugging those cameras, I mean truthfully - there is never anything wrong with investigating things. Yes, we can turn up our noses, but if there is a good percentage who actually do believe in it, why NOT disprove it? And who better than our boy? That wasn't Rogan's best moment but he clearly respects him to have him on. He's had relatively unknown underground rappers on and I know for a fact he did that ONLY because he was interested in them rather than chasing views. Rogan is good peoples. Imagine you were on a camera as much as him, I know I def. would have said some dumb sh*t already

    My encounter was in 1978 in Olympic NP. Some friends and I skipped school, drove south of Forks to the Hoh Rainforest. We parked, then grabbed our day packs and hiked a little way up the Hoh River Trail. We left the trail on the north side, and hiked through some small, mossy meadows until we were half a mile into the rainforest... a strange hike. First thing we noticed was something so weird that it took awhile to identify it... the utter silence... no bird or insect sounds at all. As we hiked further in, we noticed a smell that I can only describe as a foul combination of skunk, sulfur, and a garbage dump on a very hot day.
    We sat on thick moss in a circle, in the middle of a small meadow surrounded by giant trees. Someone started handing out beers, and I started rolling a joint, which took a while since I had to remove seeds first. I loaded the cleaned and crumbled weed into the paper, and as I was licking the glue I looked up from my lap and into the forest.
    My friend John, who was sitting next to me, whispered, "Jesus, what the hell..." About 10-12 feet high, peering out from behind a giant cedar, was the head of a sasquatch. It was looking at us.
    It seemed to exude intelligence and wisdom. I didn't feel threatened. I could see that it was simply watching us.
    John said, "There's bigfoot watching us." I looked over at Eve, who is a member of the Quilleyute Nation, to see her reaction. She didn't appear distressed, but only said, "We need to leave. Don't panic. Stay calm. We just have to go somewhere else." The sasquatch wasn't there when I glanced back, and I did feel a moment of panic. The face was gone. Where did it go?
    I put the joint in the baggy, stuffed it into my shirt pocket, we grabbed our beers and left. On the way back to the trail, it was hard keeping that panic at bay and to walk slowly and calmly.
    Part of my panic, I think, is because my worldview had just been shattered. I had rolled my eyes too many times when listening to other people's bigfoot stories in the past. And around Forks, WA, you can hear plenty of those stories. Now, I don't merely believe, I actually KNOW.
    In my opinion, formulated after copious reading and discussions with other witnesses, if you want to meet sasquatch, head to the rainforests (Hoh, Queets, & Quinault) of WA's Olympic Peninsula. That's sasquatch central. Just be casual about it, because if finding bigfoot is foremost on your mind, you probably won't see it. It's like other wild creatures who can sense your intentions (threat assessment) in that regard.

    Les, it's interesting you should mention clam digging. One of the more interesting sasquatch stories I heard was actually embedded in an indigenous ecology and human-environmental relations video as part of an enviro policy degree program. The video was about clam gardens, arrangements of rocks along the shoreline that have developed over the millennia with human (and, according to the natives, sasquatch) assistance, where more nutrients catch and pool up and make for rich clam beds, as you describe. Most of the video, though, was this elder talking about Sasquatch and how much they love clams, and especially snails. Apparently, according to this guy, their favorite food on the coastlines is turban snails. Thanks for doing this series, survivorman has helped me in many ways in my life, and the totem of (and obsession with) sasquatch has been with me since I was a little kid and read Greene's books from the school library when I was 7. I didn't live anywhere near sasquatch then, but as an adult I've moved to the PNW, on the Olympic Peninsula, where I've had many sasquatch encounters personally and have talked to countless people here who have had experiences, one gal who is very close to my family who has a family of them that comes through her property sometimes. If you ever do another survivorman: bigfoot series, you owe it to yourself to do it on the Olympic Peninsula, where the macaw people sometimes affectionately call them 'silverbacks' because of the way the dew forms on their backs in the morning light.

    • @Dwightstjohn-fo8ki

      For decades govt. researchers thought the "clam beds" were naturally occurring phenom. In fact, they were owned and maintained for decades and passed down!! Of all foods, clams and snails are pretty much guaranteed to be there; most other foods including the oil rich Oolican run in the first part of the spring (the first protein after a lean winter) were seasonal.

We also have footprints with dermal ridges that have been analyzed by legit scientists (profs of anatomy and anthropology) and even FBI analysts who specialize in fingers prints etc,, who say they are the real deal (ie., not a hoax) whether humans running around with HUGE feet and odd anatomy (the metatarsal bends the opposite way) or “Bigfoot.”

    I took my “dream vacation” to this EXACT area as a 40th birthday present to myself about 10 years ago for a 4-day guided fishing tour with some buddies. Primarily for salmon and halibut. We hired a First Nations guide for the trip and true to what’s been said before, he politely declined to discuss anything about Sasquatch. Given the fact I’m from Florida and am used to the scenery of our area, the scenery in this area is absolutely breathtaking. Despite that, I’d never go in these woods at night carrying nothing but a backpack and pocketknife. No way, no how! This particular place is really off the grid and as you saw, Les had to take a small pane to get there. I had to do the same. I stayed at a fishing camp and kept the windows open at night. The wildlife sounds were scary enough and kept me awake most of the nights, much less these guys going out and actually seeking out big scary creatures. That’s balls of steel right there. No way, no how would I ever do that.

    I am half Athabascan indian and live In Anchorage, AK. My mom was the President of my corporation through all of my young childhood up to about 20 year old man, and we constantly traveled and stayed in the copper river valley and in my village called Chitina about 250 miles out in the Alaskan wilderness. When I was about 19 and the mother of my child was 18 we went for a drive at dusk, as my mom and others stayed in the Chitina hall. I had heard all kind of tales since I was little from my people about the "Bush Indian", our SAsquatch. I never really believed any of that nonsense until that night we took a drive in the dusk and crossed over the mighty Copper river. On our river we have giant fish wheels that catch the salmon. There on the fishwheel we saw it, stealing salmon from the fishwheel. I have never seen anything that big and that ran to the treeline with the speed of a race horse. I never doubted the old stories again. And I now enter the deep woods in Alaska with an all new respect...or fear. Because in my peoples tales the Bush Indian takes people, especially children , away to feast on them. And they are not the 7 foot tall curious standoffish Bigfoot of the Washington area. Here they are Bigger, and meaner. An entire thriving community of 300 people eventually evacuated the city of Port Chatham/Portluck because of people going into the woods to hunt and never coming back. Or men being found completely dismembered, not like a bear would or could do. You can look up the true stories of Port Chatham online, and see the town that left their homes behind...just to survive.

    1959 I was 12 years old. My dad was stationed at Fort Lawton in Magnolia Hills Seattle Wash. during the summer my parents
    Sent me to camp on an island on Puget Sound. Three nights into camp, sitting around a campfire, the lead counselor told us (about 45 young girls) to stand up slowly and walk in a line to our cabins. The cabins were open door with bunk beds. The counselors bed was in the middle. About 30 minutes lying in the dark, I saw a huge 7 or 8 feet person covered in matted hair, twigs stuck all over his hairy body. I thought it was human. Stood straight up. Breathing heavily he came in and sat down on the middle bed which the counselor was in. He sat there 5 min tires. Snorted and left. We were frightened out of our wits. The next day 45 girls called their parents and camp came to a close. So it wasn’t a camp prank because even the counselors went home. They were only 18-19. To this day I am convinced it was something we have never seen before.

    Some supportive info: I worked with a man who poured concrete footers and foundation walls for private homes in the dead of winter. It used to flip me out a little on those 20 degree days (and colder) he wouldn’t wear gloves. Wasn’t sure of his race or background but the guy had capillaries in his hands (and probably feet) that rivaled indigenous Alaskan peoples. Most of the time he just wore layers of heavy shirts but my point is to point out humanoid footprints in the snow or semi frozen ground! If people can hack the cold so can those creatures. The skeletal remains of a spine looked mostly to be for your benefit. The instincts kick in - they or it knew something was up and they knew you know how to read the wilderness Les. Something else, i know it;s your preference but why do this alone? The apples on the beach would have done you better with a trail cam so I’m a little set off by that.

I've had pretty solid evidence (prints, a huge ball of branches and sticks appearing in our camp) and some iffy evidence at best (strange calls that I have decided were probably a barred owl which I'm not used to hearing, screeching howls that are certainly not coyotes, but then I catch a mountain lion on my trail cam that Tennessee still doesnt officially recognize existing in Tennessee lol) I love how he approaches it, he doesn't want iffy or subjective evidence.

    Hello. I'm not sure who from Les Stroud's crew will see this, but I hope they will. I'm not sure what Season it was but Les actually filmed a Bigfoot or something Bi-pedal moving across the trail behind where he and Todd Standing just left. I first saw it when the Episode first aired years ago, but found it again on RUclips. The Title is: "Survivorman Bigfoot | Episode 1 | Alberta | Les Stroud | Todd Standing" The context: Les and Todd had just heard and reacted to a whoop sound to their left. After a brief pause and acknowledgement they moved on down the trail. While Les is narrating the camera picks up an image moving from right to left behind him over his right shoulder. Time in the video is 24:10 thur 24: 26. The exact moment is 24:21. Hopefully some viewers will look this up as well.

    I have always thought that Squatch were inter-dimensional (they exist in another dimension and visit ours...........when they die, they do not remain here) Many native peoples believe this as well, which is why they have never been found..........love your shows, they are awesome......

      Completely agree with you. Sasquatch live in a parallel dimension to ours and sometimes can be seen my man, but a glimpse and they are gone. I believe they thrive in the remote parts of the wilderness yet conquered my human beings. I do believe they survive through camouflage and you most likely would walk past one deep in the woods and would never know.

      My great-great grandfather claimed to have seen a sasquatch burial in the process when he was a young guy, and hasnt told anyone about it until he was on his death bed. They were sinking a body in the deepest part of the river. We are Ojibway living in the most remote part of northern ontario.
      The way the river bended they weren't able to hear them coming until they turned the corner and they took off into bush.

      Yeah, don't believe anything from superstitious native Americans. God is real, and if there's super natural things happening it's demons.
