Survivorman Bigfoot | Episode 3 | Klemtu BC | Les Stroud
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2024
- In the largely unexplored wilderness of Klemtu, a Native Reserve on the coast of Canada’s beautiful British Columbia, local residents have been telling stories for generations about Bigfoot. Klemtu Hill is an old volcano, it’s a sacred area and the Bigfoot reports here are in the hundreds. Something that is supposed to weigh 900 pounds has to leave a trail - whatever is there, it leaves tracks, makes sounds in the night, makes friends and helps people, abducts and even kills people. Les Stroud’s approach is to place himself in the hot spots, in the firing line, wherever there have been reports of sightings or strange happenings, in a tent, outside of a tent, with fire, without fire, inside of a cabin, walking on lonely roads, whatever it takes to provoke an encounter. Les’s quest is to make contact and in this wild place of abundance, where large animals could exist indefinitely, it is the unknown that keeps him coming back for more.

Survivorman Bigfoot was the coolest show EVER.
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.
I'm a Mohawk from Akwesasne Mohawk Territory, I've seen and heard multiple times a family of Wood Walkers...I truly hope they're never fully discovered by the mainstream scientific community, they'll want to do nothing but experiments and dissection and such, leave the Walkers be
What a coincidence; I come from a large family of Wood Wackers...hey now🦃
@@1leech lmao... My ppl call them Wood Walkers
Amen
The best way to get them left alone is to prove their existence and get it over with already. Then the government can protect them officially.
Brother I can't agree more, leave them be. The ones who want the most information probably deserve it the least.
I really like the fact that Les can get scared and just honestly say so.
Cause he's honestly alone, unlike alot of them would have you believe they are.
Honesty and TV don’t go together.
He's gotten scared before in his other videos. I remember one where he went ti the amazon and he admitted on camera he was scared cause he thought he was being followed by a jaguar
I know that you can scare yourself into hearing and seeing stuff !
I stopped watching television when my daughter was born so i missed this and your new series. I've been a fan since that first episode, 20 years ago. You inspired me to learn survival. Been a great life.
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.
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." John seemed to exude intelligence and wisdom too.
Some say that they love weed so maybe that good good attracted him or her
We feared for our lives but we tidied up first.
Bahahahahahahahahaha
I've had 4 encounters out humptulips tracks rocks woops logs snapping the whole 9 yrds I believe u 100% they are real
10-12 feet?! That was a BIGGG BOY!
By far, the most legitimate series to bring Bigfoot to a digestible level for all. Great stuff Les, keep it coming.
Definitely without two shouting crowds
Thus the reason I’m on utube
@@killintime8431 give me more bigfoot
Less kicks ass no Mayer what he’s doing love his voice
I’m on here all day watching less I’m a huge fan
Les is one of the most credible outdoors men in the world. I love how his passion for being out in nature opened the doorway for him to believe and research Sasquatch!!
I hope Les never goes on that clown,
Joe Rogan Show ever again.
Les gives so much to show the world and how to survive. Thank you Sir!
@@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
He's still a skeptic....but, he's close !
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.
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.
Right.
I use to live in Two smal towns off of the. Columbian. River on the Washington. State in Clark County. And I meet Allot of Truthful People That had seen allot of Bigfoots Close to Saint Helen Mountain. I do believe in these people..
Humama (Sasquatch in their language) like also apples, fishes and deers
These Survivorman Bigfoot episodes are thoroughly keeping me going
Stay strong
sad.
Same, hang in there
Well I did a very very large poo watching this episode
@@igavehimadollar3354 that’s a long poo. 40 minutes. You should maybe take in way less fiber, guy.
Survivor man Bigfoot is absolutely gold. Whoever came up with this is genius!
Did you see one ?
Les came up with it. He pretty much creates his own content. Watch some of his director's cuts, pretty much tells his story.
Such beautiful scenery and thoughtful dialogue! Thank you, Les! ❤
I would’ve never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would be watching anything about Bigfoot, but… here comes mr Less and makes it freaking interesting!!!
I'm only a few minutes in but man these are really well put together. I've been on a sasquatch binge the last couple of months, I can't get enough 🤣
If you can find any of Robert Dobsons OLD videos in Texas...you will LOVE them. He was a crazy SOB & he DID get them on film.
He moved all his material to a different site, due to theft & sadly, he is no longer with us.
@@gotskinn Where do you look or find these videos? Are they on RUclips?
Mee tooo
@@VanDiemen1969 Right on, thanks! I'll definitely check it out, much appreciated.
And @Doh Joe Gringo did you have a link for that?
*If you want no BS on the sasquatch topic that doesn't run in circles... checkout Steve's channel at The Facts at How to hunt. Thank me later.*
I'm agnostic when it comes to this kind of thing as well but whenever Les is alone in the wilderness and recording himself, it's great to watch.
Agreed.
Less I have watched your show religiously every Friday night,then you did these searching for bigfoot series.The bigfoot show I watched showed many signs like trees stacked up together and hoots and hollers plus you piled up food that was taken the next day???I think even rocks were thrown ?I enjoy your objectivity regarding these creatures like you said you don't believe or do believe seeing is believing?Good luck and happy hunting!!!Keep these shows coming very interesting.
Les please make a new season, I just finished watching every bigfoot video on your page and loved every episode.
My Saturday just got BETTER!!
Thank you Les Stroud!!
I was camping at Yoho Lake a few years ago and right after sunset when the temperature always suddenly drops there was this massive gust of wind that went through the area. A few seconds after it died down there was this massive crashing sound as a big tree must have come down not too far away. I understand Les's reaction when the tree came down by him because it humbles you. Nature is powerful.
I’m from port hardy and I was talking to two Klemtu residents the other day and they talked like it everyone from there knows it’s there, believes in it and have even seen it come right into the village
Native Americans are the best resource we have!
Thx
Hands down the best bigfoot documentary ever
Love this series! Thank you Les. I love living in Sasquatch territory, and respect the wise beings of the forest.
Shouldn't a Sasquatch territory have at least one Sasquatch?
Micro-SD cards* dunno why my phone insisted on as.
@@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059 oh they are very very much real.
@@joshlower1 ... Then why can't you find any.... Hmmmmm?
@@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059 you should really look at how many species we know today that were recently discovered.
Just watch a documentary on how long some of these photographers take to get a slight glimpse of animals we know exist…
You can start with gorilla documentaries…
I’m am from a north eastern tribe in Australia, what we once called paradise as you could drink from any water hole . I hope they never get hold of the big fellas because only bad can come of it . Just let them be, they keep the bush land clear of things much worse, including us . Cheers
Les is my hero.If I was ever to get lost on this planet I'd want Survivor Man with me .
My hat off to you, for the stamina, the willingness, the consistency.. What you're doing it exactly what's need to be done. Time consuming.. and the knowledge of those places that only you have, along with open mind. Very interesting to watch, one of the few channel I follow. Well done
All that stamina, willingness, and consistency.. and he still hasn't found Jack Shit.

Les please continue doing this series! It's been a personal wish since the last episode aired
I'm a Footer from North Dakota but I've been all over the place. Maine, Oregon, and Idaho, is where I've had my own encounters and experiences. 3 good sightings, wood knocks, boulder and rock throwing, tracks 👣, buck snort with running heavy and rock throwing. I've camped from Alaska, Maine, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Texas, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, California, Wyoming, Montana, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, New York, Illinois, New Mexico, and Washington. Korea, Yukon Territory, and British Columbia. A dozen lakes, rivers, and streams and no drinking problems. I love being outside, even when I'm home. Love you Les!
fake. stop lying loser.
I envy you brother, I wish I would have done something like that, I'm from Wisconsin, I've done a little traveling, but not nearly enough as you did, God Bless!
You had a big foot encounter in Maine? I'd like to hear about that please.
Just discovering these videos, great honesty like you would expect from Les!!
Definitely a Samsquanch
The trail cam just needs refuckulating.
Definitely a Samsquanch with a big hairy Squatch 😂
Love trailer park boys!!!

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.
BC Ferries has a stop in Klemtu - seven to eight hours from either Prince Rupert or Port Hardy. It is a very popular area for kayakers but yes oh yes, this area is very remote as you say. As remote as anything along our north coast or SE Alaska.
Hey Les, Have to say watched all your content. The filming and quality of this video was exceptional, maybe because of beautiful light and sun, or that your not filming so much live survival. Also enjoyed the series with your son and how transparent and honest in the filming your relationship with him. Your a legend and I would be proud to have a father like YOU! Nice one! Thanks for lovely content!
I too have personally not seen a not finding a Bigfoot video more exceptional than this.
@@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059 indeed super nice
@@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059 here’s a prediction for ya: You never will.
i love how respectful u are les
Ild rather watch Les and not see anything, than to watch the Hollywood versions of other shows. With Les, I get to appreciate everything. Not just the primary goal. Les has a unique way of bringing the flora and fauna alive, as well as deliver it straight to my world.
TRUE....JUST LIKE A CANADA MAN DUDE!! UH CANADIAN..THAT'S IT....BUDS/CORESEARCHERS FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM WITH STEVE IDAHL, SCOTT CARPENTER AND DAVE PAULIDES....CREDIBLE BIGFOOT PEOPLE...
I always think his intro is saying tickle tickle tickle and that makes my day better
Me too man.. me too
Same here
Thank you for these videos. I’m a believer, every one laughs at me, but they have not done the research. These videos are more of what we need.
Thank you Les!! I love you're using your skills to find Sassy!!
The fact that less is searching for sasquatch makes me feel better about being so interested in the subject...much respect
At one point European explorers were laughed at when they talked about the African mountain gorilla, the same will happen with Bukwas
@@MrThatnativeguy That was 150 years ago. They have been bringing dead mountain gorilla bodies back to Europe since at least the late 1800's early 1900's. We now have cars, planes, drones. Every single person has a camera in their pocket at all times. Night vision, infrared, satellite imagery. What i am saying is one man with a gun went to Africa and killed two mountain gorillas. That easy. Before any modern technology. Currently the entire world with all of its technology is looking for Bigfoot and we have had zero success. Not one body. Not one bone. Not one credible image or video. Not one obvious heat signature. Not anything. Kind of weird. I hope they are real. I want them to be. Right now we have more credible evidence for aliens and UFO's than we do Bigfoot.
@@soundsofnature7015 you really dont know much on this subject do you .
He's just pandering for views, he doesn't believe any of this shit for a second it's just a means to make a living as an outdoorsman.
I’d disagree about credible heat signatures and DNA. We have a number of “unknown ape species DNA” found in North America. DNA that does not match any known species. 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.”
This is fantastic watching!!! It's so much more entertaining than ANYTHING on the major networks. Les is a legend raconteur and documentary maker. More power to survivor man👍👍👍👍👣
Although naked twister can be very entertaining.
If this was an episode of survivorman that salmon would of been an incredible meal :)
I would've taken it right then, lol
Yes, but when they are swimming up stream and they are in the change. They can not taste too good depending on how far they are in the death process.
@@liberatedlady4689 oh I didn’t know that good to know though :) do you enjoy salmon ?
What does "would of" mean? Is that how illiterate people say "would have"?
@@slappy8941 that’s funny coming from a guy with the name slappy how about you stop commenting being rude and get a life
So thankful that you endanger yourself and share the journey with us. You are extremely brave.
I have seen these episodes last year i guess but i am glad to see them again, i am a Bigfoot believer. please make more and more episodes on Sasquatch
I also like to rewatch survivorman!!
yea, please go back to this place les, it's is such a trippy place. if there is any place to go it's there for sure
I am very skeptical of most people who say the have seen Bigfoot or call themselves Bigfoot hunters. But with Les Stroud, someone who I have grown to respect, talks about Sasquatch you better believe I’m going to listen!!
Les is the man. You know he’s not going to sugarcoat anything! And I say this in good fun, Go Duke!
So do you people think Todd Standing is credible since Les worked with him?
@@patdexter9188 I think that Les uses the scientific approach and tries to disprove first. That doesn’t make Todd credible. He’s just a source for information to work with the theory. Also not trying to discredit him. I just trust the facts Les presents.
@@jtunderwood5545 Todd's videos of bf are such good quality next to the Patterson film, when most all others are not, makes it hard to believe credible. Like you say about Les, if he can get proof it will be more accepted. Also I think they seem to show themselves to people who are not out for the sole purpose of finding proof. Maybe that is the tactic researchers need to take. And I would never take my wife and kids out on a bf hunt!
@@patdexter9188 Les worked with Todd and Les said himself Todd jumps to conclusions. I had the opportunity to go with Todd on one of trips but my mother passed away the day before my flight was scheduled to leave. If I could’ve went I would’ve had an opinion about Todd but atm I don’t. Les looks at everything with an open mind until he makes his own decisions. That’s a good way to look at life in general
Thank you for your devotion .
Only guy I would trust in these situations. Love it…like going back & watching the Swamp episode for the 1st time. Les 💯%
Les , aka the Survivor man, is the man! My dad and I always loved his show; he was the real deal. His (so called) peers, Bear, used a crew and artificially created drama. Concerning Big foot, Les by far has the credibility (and a sterling reputation). Thus, he's the go to source on the North American ape phenomena.
I’m the go to source and I say he’s a dough bag
@@jdevoll2 only a douche bag would call somebody a dough bag!
An expert who can't find one ..... Bahahahahahahahaha
Les (anything for a buck) Stroud.
They were just saying hello, les. Welcome to B.C. Your hosts knew and have respect for a being that shares our wild places. I've had my own encounters with Bakwas twice in my 58 years on Vancouver Island. Don't believe or disbelieve, your experience should guide you. Thank You.
I heard that they make the wood knock noise with their mouths🤔 Pretty cool and makes sense. They are masters of the woods❤️🌎✌🏼
I wish Les Would do a follow up a so part 2. Great stuff Les!! I always loved watching his show's. Then the Bigfoot special was a must!! I believe....
One of the coolest days in my life was meeting Les Stroud. Better then any actor! I wish I could of had a beer with him!

Les is so REAL. Thx you LES!
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.
Holy cow!!!
When you said open doors, I felt sick.
@@CarnivoreStork there was no protection at all.
You saw a huge 7 or 8 feet person ... covered in matted hair ... with twigs stuck all over his hairy body. ...... in the dark?
The counciler didn't scream or panic?
Man I seriously admire you to be able to go out to those places alone with so many reports of sightings and noises .You couldn't pay me enough .Heck I watch anything on Bigfoot and I get freaked out .Your brave courageous and damn good looking .And your my Hero .😊
He takes cameras, Bigfoot is terrified of cameras.
When Bigfoot sees a camera they tree knock and whoop, then run away.

I really enjoy this series. I am a skeptic but Les is the best.
Same thing happened to us last fall 2 hours north of Montreal! Sitting there on a beautiful night and a huge tree came down about 50 ft from our camp! Lol Later that night I heard laughter which freaked me out ! Peace brother
LES you amaze us all yet again. Thanks.
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.
Do you feel like its a real species ? Or a spirit or both?
Yeah, I heard the walkers in your state can grow as tall as 14 feet, I'd sure as hell would never want to encounter one.
Mr. Ballen (youtuber) did a video on Portlock AK. Nothing there but a small shed in front of the trees, but it's got it's stories. I grew up in BC near Kitimat, south of you, and we used to have an old Indigenous minister come to our elementary school (Father Williams) and he would tell us lots of stories about the Raven and Killer Whale, and he also made mention of the hidden things in the forest, of which we were all curious about, but he never elaborated as we were just kids.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@YAHWEHtoHELL You laugh but your username would show you as a believer in sky fairies. Honestly, what's more believable?
Les, I think it is worth doing another series on the subject. With time comes experience and knowledge. You have both.
He keeps saying that he is going to do another season of shows… But it hasn’t materialized yet. There is obviously massive interest in it on the viewer side. My guess is, he’s looking for some network or streaming service to fund the project. Which, I can’t imagine that someone like Netflix or Amazon, or even Peacock wouldn’t gobble the chance up. Though, they probably want ownership or a majority stake in publishing rights that Les isn’t willing to give up.
Notice that Les is publishing and distributing all of his work under his own name here on RUclips. It’s because he was smart when he signed his original deal, which, judging from his ability to publish everything he’s ever done here… Suggests that he brilliantly negotiated complete ownership and future publishing rights of his continent… Which allows him to distribute and make complete profit from his work.
Not many people are forward thinking when it comes to business like this. They focus on the now and are just excited to get a show green lit on TV. Not thinking of future publishing and the ability to profit off of the work you had already done. Which, generally, ends up, screwing a lot of people out of a lot of money. The fact that he had the sense and the understanding of how broadcasting and publishing works, shows how brilliant Les is… Because now, him, his wife, his kids and grandkids can benefit and profit off of all of his past, current and future content. Which, I assume he would be profiting 100% off of it. Of course, bar any costs associated with filming, editing, and promoting his videos.
Regardless, it will be interesting to see what he does, when it comes to some more content based off of Bigfoot. Whether he will find a partner in order to help promote and publish it, or do it all on his own… On his dime, which gives him complete control over every second of content he produces. though I don’t think that has ever been a problem, because it seems like he’s always had complete control over everything he’s done. As witnessed in all of his past videos where he doesn’t pad the content with unnecessary strategic breaks and re-caps in order to essentially promote the broadcast version of Clickbait. Making you think that you’re going to miss something or something big is going to happen before or after a commercial break.
Meaning that 100% of everything he does is original content and not 8 to 10 minutes of padding because you don’t have enough interesting material to produce 20 to 24 minutes worth of content for every 30 minutes of broadcast time(with 6 to 10 minutes of commercial breaks to pay the bills). Which is the beauty of streaming services like RUclips, and others… Where, unless you are taking on sponsors yourself, you don’t have to account for those breaks. RUclips, I believe, just randomly inserts commercials for those who don’t pay the $10 a month for commercial free. Which I absolutely recommend, if you are a connoisseur of RUclips content. it saves so much time and because more and more broadcast companies are putting their programs on RUclips… It makes it one of the cheapest, commercial free if you pay the $10 a month, content services out there.
A lot of movie studios are starting to jump on the bandwagon also. Putting their less than AAA franchises directly to services, like RUclips, because it makes them more money, and gives them direct access to more people than theaters or television ever could. Especially now, that more people stream, then pay for cable television. In any case, sorry, I just turned into something so long winded… But it was kind of an explanation of why it may be taking so long for Les to put out more Survivorman Bigfoot content. As, I’m not sure how much time he spends in any one place making an episode. I’m sure there’s got to be a lot of research put into it, to find the people in the area to interview who have had sightings and possibly interaction. On top of that, I’m sure it takes at least a week of being in that one location in order to film everything they need to and possibly get the interaction they are looking for… If any.
With the airfare, car rental, equipment purchase or rental, insurance, and everything else they need in order to make even one episode possible. I’m sure it can be quite costly, especially if the location is national or international. It seems like Les generally has just one or two people with him to help with production/filming. To keep it more authentic and less produced. Which, if he is paying out of his own pocket… And not doing so with a network flipping the bill… which only starts being profitable the day he hits X amount of views and that is just breaking even. From that point on out, then every view, and every cent would be profit. But how long is it taking for each episode to gain that many views and how much profit is he making and is it worth the time and effort to do so?
That is ultimately the question and something that Network affiliation solves immediately, by flipping the bill upfront and paying Les and his crew a salary per episode or per season. So that he doesn’t have to eat the costs and take the risk upfront. Even though based off of the Fanbase, he already has, and the interest in the subject matter… I don’t think it would be that much of a risk. I would love to know how much it cost him to film each episode and how long he stays in any given area in order to capture the footage he needs for that half an hour or so. I would love for him to do longer episodes, in that hour and a half to two hour range and spend a month or more in each location. Which gives a lot of time for any interaction to happen.
I’ve also messaged him, and mentioned from my observation of watching thousands of shows on the subject… That it does seem like they are migratory and hitting an area in the late spring throughout. The summer is probably the best chance of capturing anything on film. Simply because the berries are growing and maturing. Not to mention, I would love to see him go to the cabin on Snelgrove lake. there in Canada and see if he can experience what so many before him have… And that is the rockthrowing and banging on the cabin. From what I have seen from the videos before, people like Jeff, Meldrum seem completely terrified of incidences that they have personally witnessed there.
With Les’s ingenuity, and better understanding of the environment and animals associated with it… I think we would get a better look at the cabin in the area around it. It would be awesome if he could stay for a month or more. Giving the best chance, throughout the summer, to capture, whatever he can get. From what he has stated in the past, the owner of that cabin charges a small fortune to stay there. Because of the Notoriety, it has garnered over the years for these interactions. Which seem to happen fairly commonly. So, I think staying there for an extended period of time would probably be a very costly endeavor. But I think, based off of its past, and what other scientist and the such have experienced… It would be one of the best, needle in a haystack, locations they could stay at.
One that would probably be one of the most viewed and profitable videos here on RUclips. But again, I think he would have to stay there for more than two weeks in order to get a clearer picture and the best chance at getting anything on film. I think the people who came before him, stayed for a few days to a week, max. So staying anything around the same time or less would be scientific backpedaling. we’ll see. Hopefully we’ll get some more of these sooner than later. Maybe he’s already working on them or has been for a decent portion of 2022 so that we can have more than 2023.
In any case, sorry again for the novel. Hope you had a merry Christmas and have a happy new year.
18:19 it looks like something is in the tree behind les, you can't miss it, it stands out like a sore thumb, its really dark in colour
"Man, theres a lot of big wolf prints out here..."
My favorite line in this one lol
He is doing what someone looking for Bigfoot should be. Constantly questioning himself and and saying things like “if this exists”. He is not putting himself to one viewpoint. Very respectable.
Survivorman is the goat! Always respectful of nature but always investigating, excellent dialogue, for clarity
41:26 That's a nice Remington 870 stainless with an extended tube mag propped up against the tent. A little welcome gift for any 'Squatch that gets a bit too close and personal. Respect! 👍
Yep. Men got to protect himself bc, if he don't, no one else will. Although,
so called bigfoot ( a pet name ) don't need any protection. You can't hurt them. They are absolutely not afraid of you or any men. We need protection from them and not the other way around. It's just a thing people keep telling themselves so, that way, they can feel more at easy / comfortable in the mountains.
The Bigfoot series always gave me this odd feeling when watching the episodes.
At the very least, this is a great series to make you wanna go be in the wild
Outstanding show. Excellent !
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.
Thank you for releasing all your content, it's great and keep up the good work you do
I love the scientific approach to this and even if you don't find anything substantial, what a great journey 💯💯🔥🔥
Les is good at producing a sense of drama by his words and tone of voice, especially since nothing happened throughout this video.
Best show ever wish was still going today
I love the way your mind processes information and that you are able to verbalize it when it does. Thanks for taking us along on a trip of searching and maybe discovery. Be safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
Big props to you Les.
You got Balls. Camping there Alone is something I'd do, but not many ppl would. Kudos
The scenery is beautiful
It’s interesting how much more reasonable Big Foot is here than in the mainland. Mammoths survived on one island until a few thousand years ago, rather than around 10,000 years ago everywhere else. Islands can create anomalies like that.
When a tree falls in the forest and no ones around, Les will hear it.
I can just hear Bruce Cockburn singing that
If the camera is on and he can freely speculate. Oh well it's mildly entertaining and does no harm. Guys trying to make a living.
Whoooop!
The fence is his only position allowed to remain a network favorite, &marketing friend of the chosen ?
Conspiracy theorists frowned upon! Conspiracy alarmist/ protagonists employed? Lol
Les hears it, Todd films it!!😬
Les, your videos, documentaries, series, ALL so good, you're a wonderful camera man, narrator, cinematographer, btw, love all your subject matter, thank you for all your effort and hard work.....cheers. !!!
I found you watching a Bigfoot documentary...you are by far the best show...
Love learning about Sasquatch and others stories of them. I’ve had multiple encounters in my life with them.👍
get a cat scan
@@andydoufreisn2973 I can't even fathom hunting down content you don't enjoy, locating comments you don't agree with, and being overly negative/hateful to random people.
@@viktorzolsar8873 ... Yeah Andy, crazy people need love .... then a cat scan.
I've had multiple encounters with the Loch Ness
@@andydoufreisn2973 Feel sorry for you , you've never been out of the city into the woods and forest, the smog , pollution , must have hindered your brain development.
if you ever find yourself in central/northern Saskatchewan doing any events or anything id love to meet you. Your one of my survival idols, i love how you work with elders and first nations communities.
I just want a full blown bigfoot 4 hour doc extravaganza from les. All new, all bigfoot.
But I dream...😌
Why just 4 hours, why not 4 hours and 10 ... no, 11 minutes? If you're gonna dream, dream big.
I believe les is more credible than any other investigators
Would love another season of this!
Your Word is good enough for me Les.
Would love more of these type of episodes. Love from the UK 🇬🇧
I can’t find the interview anymore with Les and Joe Rogan where Les tells about his two encounters. Very compelling. They are what made Les a believer
Lovely town. Must visit.
Another one 💪🏾. Thanks Les
This was one of my favorite eps from the whole series I watched it 3 times now for a fourth👌😎
Why ? No judgement but it just came out lol
@@watchmen617 nah these are reruns. I've seen then all. Be pretty damn hard to make a new series right now for les. I'm sure it's coming but this has already aired. This is survivorman bigfoot season 1.
@@Racer-M oh shit I thought these were brand new like filmed recently, way to ruin that lol
@@watchmen617 sorry mate. They been out a while.
I am very impressed about how you are able to go to these hidden places alone.
With a gun, satellite phone, and a rescue team and helicopter nearby ... no problem
@@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059 really?
@@debbiewilliams9435 ... Really!
I have to say that I loved when this happened. Les coming in to investigate this whole ordeal. For those of us who have seen this Mythical creature. Wicked as well as beautiful the makeup of these Elusive and Evasive beasts. When you see one your life changes forever in that moment never to be the same. It took me 20 plus years before I let my encounter known. Out of fear of being told I was Crazy. The Fact is you cant unsee what you see.
Elusive and Evasive eh?
MORE MORE MORE!! Excellent filming. This series though controversial is right up his alley. Who better to search for bigfoot then les stroud!
believe the poodle did indeed diddle you
@@scottmoldenhauer8908 🤣 ahaar haar. That's a knee slapper.
Got to keep those cameras and recorders running all the time. You never know what you will miss. Thanks for sharing!
Les is 100% honest,I would rather hear both sides instead of just the I know they are there but haven't seen one yet theory ! Oh,and one more thing.If their is ever a clear sighting or footage,I hope Les is the one who captures it !
Yeah I'm a pretty solid believer just from my own experiences of prints and strange occurances, but at the end of the day I want real evidence and not just an echo chamber and I'm happy that he comes at it as a skeptic. 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. He wants prints, footage, DNA.
Some wild stuff! That circle of clouds was weird AF..
You da man Les! Love the quality of your productions brother!
All of ur shows released? Freakin awesome! Love les stroud, love survivor man!!!
Hey Less , you need to Watch the very first episode when you're talking about your experience in the Woods and the Noises you heard. Watch the Trees and in the End when you Heard it Scream and crashed into the Woods. It's from the Right side going into the Woods and you can see the Tree that he knocked Down. Big Fan
Absolutely brilliant. I envy you being in America with such vast beautiful landscapes and quite superb camping terrain all over the United states. Great filming and honest commentary on location. Theres so many times where I'm thinking "he should mention this.." etc and then you do. Very balanced and scientifically sound. Keep up the great work Les 👍
This is filmed in bc Canada I live in bc sasqautch I real
This is BC Canada not America
@@jeantillotson4091 I got mixed up with another video of Les's I watched the same day. British Columbia yeah. My mistake
