Spent a lot of time camping in that exact area. Unbelievable area! When night falls in those woods you can feel there are things in this forest that are unexplainable and that can easily hide from people. The redwoods make you feel like your in an ancient place. Thanks for the stories. Longtime Fan. From Lake Tahoe.
I was getting ready to go to bed and I suddenly realized that I had not heard your story for tonight. I couldn't miss one of your great stories Chris. Thank you.
I’m alone bowhunting at our hunt shack from the late 1800’s and I just listened to this story. Tonight before bed I’ll make sure the door bolt is secure.
Excellent! This reminds me of the freedom we had as boys is the 1960's. Freedom to roam and explore on bikes and foot. Never experienced any thing like Squatch but the vibe is the same.
Same here! Only I was a girl, Played, road bikes all day, in when street lights came on. No cares or fears at all! Was the best time to grow up!(I am now 70 yrs old, going to be 71 next month.).My 2 Sisters & brother had a blast as kids! So sad how things are now.
@@patmarkham519Good morning, Pat. I had a very similar childhood in the 70's. Grew up in a tiny hamlet in rural Somerset, SW England. Spent my time climbing trees, getting muddy and just generally having a wonderful childhood. I remember one day, as a challenge I tried balancing on a cattle trough. Mums face when I squelched up the lane after falling in was a picture. I'll always remember her just tutting and saying, 'Go inside and get changed. How the heck do you fall in a bleedin' trough?' 😂 Have a great day from N Wales 🏴
Yay! I wait anxiously all day for your stories to go up, I really love everything about your content, and expressive delivery from hiking in the woods,or cozy in your cabin, pop that beer and let’s listen to things that go bump in the night. You are by far my favorite storyteller. Thank you ❤️
great story Chris wish I could go back to 1965 I was 8 years old back then it was a better time back then you could go to the store and get something for your money
Chris, amazing story as always! I must be honest with you tho, I don’t think the sound effects used this time helped the story. I love the way you usually use them, only when it’s a big part of the story, especially the rising tension music at the encounter you usually do. Other than that, I just want to hear your voice and let my own minds eye create the rest. I know guys like Mr Ballen use lots of sound effects but what I love about you is your God given ability to turn a yarn is able to create the vision in my mind. Anyways just my opinion, I hope you consider it but at the end of the day I’m here for you and your content always. Much love buddy, praying for you and yours! God speed
Thank you all of you who took the time to write to me and send your best wishes last week. I am recovered now and hope to stay that way and that asthma and viruses stay away! Winter hasn't even started yet and I already suffered. Chris, I was getting sad thinking that we might not have a video this week. I clicked so fast and so glad I did. Awesome storytelling time, as always! Thanks Chris!
@@basecampchris Hi Chris. It's woman haha 😂😂. My name is Griselle and my friends call me Gri. 🇵🇷🇵🇷. We spoke a while ago on Instagram when you were camping for a video. Always a delight watching your videos. You're the best!!!
Gri03- I know what you went through with your Asthma. I have a mild case & only flares up really bad during a cold or respitory infection.(Hate respiratory infections the most, as it effects my Asthma the most!!) also, have problems with smoke, dust, & heavy perfumes!(That's the reason I don't wear perfume. Also, must smell things to make sure scent is not too strong or will trigger my Asthma!) so far, have been no problems with it. Haven't been sick since I started taking vitamin D3.(Seems to help.) I am glad you are now better & hope you will stay that way. Patti in Michigan
I was thinking the same thing. A sound effect at a crucial point or two is ok but this seemed like too much. It's changed the "sitting around the campfire listening to scary stories" feel
I was born in the 60's and our parents let us do what we wanted as long as we were home b4 dark or home for dinner, we rode our bikes for miles out in the country. Great story, thx
When i get ready to sleep in my bedroom i always put a story that Chris narrates, not only are they very interesting stories but have mystery and suspense from peoples stories. I also love relaxing to your stories, perfect ending to a good night. Keep the great stories coming.❤
My grandparents lived in Willow Creek and one night when my husband and I were visiting we heard the most chilling sound coming from the mountain directly behind my grandmother's house. I ended up having to take my kids and put them in my bedroom because I was terrified that a big foot was going to stick its arm through the window or something. It started out as a high-pitched screech that turned into what could only sound like a gorilla huffing. Even my husband was unnerved by it. I believe.
@@je862 they lived there in the 70's, 1978 for sure. I don't remember what year they moved there but they left probably 1985? I was a young teen and I don't really remember the dates but they lived there for a long time and knew everybody in town.
@@lauriejones4507 wow! Forgive me if I’m not following you but when you guys heard the screeching around ‘84 you have husband and kids at that time? That’s frightening as heck! I really like learning of folks stories especially from the 70’s and 80’s. I was in high school in the early 80’s so it has some resonance with me. I have seen things in the sky in 1975, 1978 and 1998. In ‘78 I was small game hunting with a friend and we were 13.
@@Gri03 ok you can't be serious. The sounds are so distracting. I see so many comments saying the same thing and comments like this attacking ppl for voicing their honest opinion. Are these bot accounts
Thank you Chris for not playing loud ominous sound effects that drown out your speaking voice i have strugled to hear you through a few other videos and i did leave a comment. then. there are alwsys closed captions, but it is not the same as listeniing to your voice. .❤
love your content, been subscribed for a while now and while I know it's necessary to try new things I would have to say the AI generated photos and GIFs I am not a fan of at all. Maybe it's just a personal preference but I think it works better like a campfire story where we have to use our imaginations.
Yup I agree! He use to respond to these but now it seems whoever is editing his videos is taking offense to these types of comments. I miss the old Chris.
Agreed! Although I do like the photos of the park sign and what the particular setting is. I live in WA and have camped in the Olympic Rain Forest, Gifford Pinchot NF, etc.....but I've never camped out of state so to see what the area of the story looks like helps with the imagination in my opinion.
Chris, Another great story, thank you!! My wife and I watch every Sunday together. We live on Vancouver Island, prime Sasquatch country but no sightings for us yet. This past July we road tripped the coast of Washington, Oregon and northern California and chatted about the possibility of a sighting on some hikes we did. But no such luck. Grateful for your stories and sense of humor!! Keep them coming, cheers! Trevor
Also I hope whoever is now helping and advising you to add all this extra stuff isn't making fake comments saying how much they like them just to continue with making your channel a Mr ballen production. Please don't fall for it, I no longer follow (Mr ballen) bc the channel is now this big production movie like and RUclips is over saturated with that same content. Remember your channel got big bc of your original style, your way of telling a story gives us the viewer a genuine sense of you speaking to us directly
I plan on reviewing, adjusting and toning down this new style...BUT to say that the comments are FAKE!! is NOT to know me or anything about the people here!
@@chalillo2268 I don't watch him at all anymore.. Mr ballen adds many sound effects and can tell is a big production, which to me is a waste of money. He has said it himself. RUclips is not an easy job and I'm not going to discredit Mr ballen just bc I don't follow him anymore. Both you can tell take the time to perfect their videos.
@@basecampchris sorry Chris I meant bots a lot of channels have random comments that when you look at their page are all recently made accounts. But it's nice that you interact with your audience, please don't take it personal just a long time viewer & would hate to see this channel become a production. This is one of the last channels that gives the viewer the experience and feeling like we are on a trip with you listening to you tell us a story. Less is more if that makes any sense. Anyways love your channel & appreciate you taking the time to respond. 🫶🏻
@@basecampchris oh and I just noticed my comment made it seem like I said I no longer follow you when I meant Mr ballen. I guess someone reading it can take it both ways but just in case you know. 🫶🏻
Oh my gosh !!! Generally I will say after your watching one of your broadcasts, "that was the most frightening story - it can't get anymore spooky!" Well.... once again, I was wrong! This was terrifying, given the location, and how remote these boys really were! Northern CA /OR/WA are definitely a hot spot for Yeti. I will rewatch the Return of the Jedi to see the lanscapes in Humboldt County- great fun fact!
Exactly what I did in the 60s as a boy with friends. Didn't come across a sasquatch or its ilk, but the adventure we had was far away from civilisation and in the jungle. Camped and had a fire going with music from that period on a battery operated vinyl player. Such fine times!
@@sundarmann6167 Yes, the 78's were the really old ones, and very thick also. A battery operated record player? I had never seen one back then, at least I don't remember. Must have taken many 'D' batteries?
My kids and I love listening to your stories, Chris! So you know, we personally like them more without a lot of extra sound effects. You are a great storyteller! Either way, we still love them and are happy subscribers!
Chris your video quality has improved so much since I started watching you a year ago. You put such effort into the details to make the stories more engaging. This is such a great niche for you!
Oh my goodness, the photo of the boys closely resembles the movie Stand By Me. Those Coleman lanterns were the best, we still have two of them. Thank you, Chris for sharing the buddies of Butch, Joe, Mike, and Keith story of terror in N California, home of the P&G film of Patty which is it's 57th anniversary today: October 20, 1967.
those Coleman lanterns i remember from the 70’s needed white gas aka Coleman fuel and you had to pump them up before lighting. and the Mantles were fragile things, always needed to have some extras on hand. if you banged the lantern accidentally the mantles would just disintegrate. into ashes. i was thinking about how tricky it was for the boy to light up that lantern in a hurry. good job. and such good thinking on the part of th 16 yr old boy. They all had good heads on their shoulders. Their parents would be proud if they had known. probably best they did not tell them. I can imagine the parents going up to that cabin and calling Fish and Game about the creature that attacked thier kids. and then nobody would believe them anyway.. The “official policy” has always been that any BF sightings are really Bears and the person who reports it is asked to agree and sign a statement etc.. At least that is some of the things i have leaned from reading about Bigfoot over the years. And if the story gt out say, to the newspapers or TV news, any number of hunters with high powered rifles would be swarming around the area hoping to kill one and and be famous for proof that Bigfoot is Real. But do any of us really want that? Do we want to know for sure? it is my pesonal opinion that they are being protected as a specie that is endangered because thier habitat is shrinking due to human expansion into thier territory.look what has happened in Africa t& india to the elephants and lions and tigers. Look what happened to the American Bison brought back from the brink of extinction by Ranchers who cared.
Hi Chris Im just checking.in to hear tonights story. Im here in Beckwourth Ca. Pretty close to you at your home. Thats next to Portola. Went to church this morning. Nice with no snow yet. Have a great evening. Thanks for making these programs. God bless you keep you safe.
The editing is really superb 👌🏼 Love the titles. Really classy. And your backdrops never disappoint. On top of the cool stories ofc and the novelty beer reviews! 👍🏼
Are you a new viewer? The original version of him just talking to us is so much more enjoyable, makes it feel like real life. All the extra sounds are so distracting
@@sonnygL7Chris has done many different effects over the years and throughout all his story videos. He can play around with whatever he feels to and that's fine. He is allowed to. It is his channel. I don't really care about that as long as the story is great and only Chris tells it.
@@Gri03 who said he couldn't? All I'm saying is his original content and majority of it is him talking directly to us.. No need to take it personal I'm just giving some feedback. You see many channels who start off great and all go through the 100k +transition of making the content a production and more like the over saturated content on RUclips. The Mr ballen type videos. All I'm saying is Chris's channel is special because you can tell he was a guy who just enjoyed telling stories... It really does make you feel like you're on a camping trip with him. All the extra stuff is at least to me distracting. I just hope if you're someone who is helping him with this you take comments like these with a positive outlook & not as a direct attack. If you did I'm sorry you feel that way. But many channels who transition to bigger numbers lack the ability to appreciate someone taking the time to comment as constructive criticism and shun them off as a troll.
What is up with these comments getting mad at people taking the time to tell Chris his original format is so much better. It looks like most ppl commenting are not a fan of all the extra sounds. I couldn't even concentrate on what he was saying.
How terrifying , especially being so young 😳 Good thinking for the kid with the 22 ! That took some courage to tell his friend to open the door 😆 I wouldn’t have LOL
Spoiler For something as big as a Sasquatch to be driven off by a couple of .22's? Would seem suspicious at first until consider just the legs and lower torso was visible in the door way. My lads I think the young fellow landed a groin shot. Feel bad for the squatch 😬
Best part of my Sunday is seeing a new video up from Base Camp Chris!🎉. Great spooky story Chris! Thanks again for your time and work! You do such a great job!
@@basecampchrisOh that is a comforting thought…I live in NW WA Actually my son claims he has seen a young sasqatch around our place at night. He says it is too big to be black raccoon, i think it was probably a black bear. there are a lot of them around. They come to raid the trash cans before the Waste Management truck arrives on pick -up day. and they come out of hiding around July 4th driven wild by the fireworks booming all day and night out here in the county. . There is a greenbelt corridor under the high voltage power lines that runs from our area all the way to the foothills of the mountains. wildlife travels along it in all seasons… Elk and cougar come down to find food but go back into the high country in spring. coyotes don’t care, they are everywhere. The cougars spread out into the outskirts of towns . so yeah bigfoot can travel too.
Love your stories but the sound maybe can lower the volume on it as I find it kind of distracted from the beauty of your storytelling love your channel keep up the great work Chris!🙏🏼💗🤗💯👏🤗💗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great story... like the sequel to Stand By Me. Wonder if that shack still still stands... and how the 4 friends are doing today and if they still keep in touch in 2024.
Hi Chris. Great story. I can tell you put extra effort into the production. However, some of the visual effects were out of place, like the boat on the lake and especially the dog-man illustration when it actually was a Sasquatch running away after being shot. Keep up the good work. Long time subscriber.
No way! The forest moon of Endor and Chewbacca er I mean Sasquatch. Had no idea it was filmed there. Ewoks, Death Stars, and beer… oh my! Great story, Mr. Rodger’s!
I always enjoy your stories. Don't know about the ai effects. I more enjoy your stories without the effects. Because it leaves more to the imagination. But I'm Gen x and remember riding my bikes with my friends and going on adventures back in the 70's and 80s. Yes I'm an old man.
We didn't have the Internet and Xbox/PlayStation to take up our time like kids do now. Children naturally want to be helpful and do things and parents sticking them in front of a screen is taking that initiative away from them.
Chris have you tried No-Li’s Squatch Pirate? Out of Washington State can’t remember if I’ve seen you try that one or not but I always think of you when I buy it. Great summer camping beer.
Love how you always begin with a great beer type
Spent a lot of time camping in that exact area. Unbelievable area! When night falls in those woods you can feel there are things in this forest that are unexplainable and that can easily hide from people. The redwoods make you feel like your in an ancient place. Thanks for the stories. Longtime Fan. From Lake Tahoe.
I’m sitting at a campfire drinking a beer and listening to another great encounter told by Chris. What a great way to spend the evening.
I was getting ready to go to bed and I suddenly realized that I had not heard your story for tonight. I couldn't miss one of your great stories Chris. Thank you.

The same happen to me right now!
I’m alone bowhunting at our hunt shack from the late 1800’s and I just listened to this story. Tonight before bed I’ll make sure the door bolt is secure.
Scary! Did you make it out okay?
Rule number 1....never go hunting alone...
Always have a firearm
Why do that to yourself?
I know, I’ve done a similar thing- a few times.
I love your sense of humor, Mr. Rogers. 😂 I love that you can laugh at yourself. Great story time!
I have to disagree I think it had numerous sexual undertones.
Watching from Istanbul Turkey. Love your stories❤

Exactly what I did in the 60s as a boy with friends. Didn't come across a sasquatch or its ilk, but the adventure we had was far away from civilisation and in the jungle. Camped and had a fire going with music from that period on a battery operated vinyl player. Such fine times!

A battery operated record player? I had never seen one back then, at least I don't remember. Must have taken many 'D' batteries?
My kids and I love listening to your stories, Chris! So you know, we personally like them more without a lot of extra sound effects. You are a great storyteller!
Either way, we still love them and are happy subscribers!
True story. I was there when it happened.
Chris your video quality has improved so much since I started watching you a year ago. You put such effort into the details to make the stories more engaging. This is such a great niche for you!
Every time I am convinced of your professionalism and love for your work. Thank you for your hard work and talent!😋🫦🥦
This account was made 11th ago? Are these the bot comments everyone is talking about
11 hours ago .. these are the bot accounts
Oh my goodness, the photo of the boys closely resembles the movie Stand By Me. Those Coleman lanterns were the best, we still have two of them. Thank you, Chris for sharing the buddies of Butch, Joe, Mike, and Keith story of terror in N California, home of the P&G film of Patty which is it's 57th anniversary today: October 20, 1967.
those Coleman lanterns i remember from the 70’s needed white gas aka Coleman fuel and you had to pump them up before lighting. and the Mantles were fragile things, always needed to have some extras on hand. if you banged the lantern accidentally the mantles would just disintegrate. into ashes. i was thinking about how tricky it was for the boy to light up that lantern in a hurry. good job. and such good thinking on the part of th 16 yr old boy. They all had good heads on their shoulders. Their parents would be proud if they had known. probably best they did not tell them. I can imagine the parents going up to that cabin and calling Fish and Game about the creature that attacked thier kids. and then nobody would believe them anyway.. The “official policy” has always been that any BF sightings are really Bears and the person who reports it is asked to agree and sign a statement etc.. At least that is some of the things i have leaned from reading about Bigfoot over the years. And if the story gt out say, to the newspapers or TV news, any number of hunters with high powered rifles would be swarming around the area hoping to kill one and and be famous for proof that Bigfoot is Real. But do any of us really want that? Do we want to know for sure? it is my pesonal opinion that they are being protected as a specie that is endangered because thier habitat is shrinking due to human expansion into thier territory.look what has happened in Africa t& india to the elephants and lions and tigers. Look what happened to the American Bison brought back from the brink of extinction by Ranchers who cared.
20:08 that made me jump!! Good story Chris!
Hi Chris Im just checking.in to hear tonights story. Im here in Beckwourth Ca. Pretty close to you at your home. Thats next to Portola. Went to church this morning. Nice with no snow yet. Have a great evening. Thanks for making these programs. God bless you keep you safe.
The editing is really superb 👌🏼 Love the titles. Really classy. And your backdrops never disappoint. On top of the cool stories ofc and the novelty beer reviews! 👍🏼
Are you a new viewer? The original version of him just talking to us is so much more enjoyable, makes it feel like real life. All the extra sounds are so distracting
@@sonnygL7Chris has done many different effects over the years and throughout all his story videos. He can play around with whatever he feels to and that's fine. He is allowed to. It is his channel. I don't really care about that as long as the story is great and only Chris tells it.
@@Gri03 who said he couldn't? All I'm saying is his original content and majority of it is him talking directly to us.. No need to take it personal I'm just giving some feedback. You see many channels who start off great and all go through the 100k +transition of making the content a production and more like the over saturated content on RUclips. The Mr ballen type videos. All I'm saying is Chris's channel is special because you can tell he was a guy who just enjoyed telling stories... It really does make you feel like you're on a camping trip with him. All the extra stuff is at least to me distracting. I just hope if you're someone who is helping him with this you take comments like these with a positive outlook & not as a direct attack. If you did I'm sorry you feel that way. But many channels who transition to bigger numbers lack the ability to appreciate someone taking the time to comment as constructive criticism and shun them off as a troll.
What is up with these comments getting mad at people taking the time to tell Chris his original format is so much better. It looks like most ppl commenting are not a fan of all the extra sounds. I couldn't even concentrate on what he was saying.
How terrifying , especially being so young 😳 Good thinking for the kid with the 22 ! That took some courage to tell his friend to open the door 😆 I wouldn’t have LOL
Spoiler
For something as big as a Sasquatch to be driven off by a couple of .22's? Would seem suspicious at first until consider just the legs and lower torso was visible in the door way. My lads I think the young fellow landed a groin shot. Feel bad for the squatch 😬
Best part of my Sunday is seeing a new video up from Base Camp Chris!🎉. Great spooky story Chris! Thanks again for your time and work! You do such a great job!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks Basecamp for all of your hardwork. Love the stories.👍🙌 Wa, State aka Sasquatch Country
Yeeeah! Washington state is the Center of BF.
@@basecampchrisOh that is a comforting thought…I live in NW WA Actually my son claims he has seen a young sasqatch around our place at night. He says it is too big to be black raccoon, i think it was probably a black bear. there are a lot of them around. They come to raid the trash cans before the Waste Management truck arrives on pick -up day. and they come out of hiding around July 4th driven wild by the fireworks booming all day and night out here in the county. . There is a greenbelt corridor under the high voltage power lines that runs from our area all the way to the foothills of the mountains. wildlife travels along it in all seasons… Elk and cougar come down to find food but go back into the high country in spring. coyotes don’t care, they are everywhere. The cougars spread out into the outskirts of towns . so yeah bigfoot can travel too.
Hi Chris,
Look at Sasquach, then look at Wookie. Same thing.
Love your stories but the sound maybe can lower the volume on it as I find it kind of distracted from the beauty of your storytelling love your channel keep up the great work Chris!🙏🏼💗🤗💯👏🤗💗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Such a great story teller. Thanks for sharing another one with us buddy 🦧🌲
Great story... like the sequel to Stand By Me. Wonder if that shack still still stands... and how the 4 friends are doing today and if they still keep in touch in 2024.
Hi Chris. Great story. I can tell you put extra effort into the production. However, some of the visual effects were out of place, like the boat on the lake and especially the dog-man illustration when it actually was a Sasquatch running away after being shot.
Keep up the good work. Long time subscriber.
Great story, Chris!
FANTASTIC story, and the way you told it with your eyes looking around. Loved it! JUST FANTASTIC!
Your a great narrator❤❤❤
No way! The forest moon of Endor and Chewbacca er I mean Sasquatch. Had no idea it was filmed there.
Ewoks, Death Stars, and beer… oh my!
Great story, Mr. Rodger’s!
oh Chris not AI generated photos.... please no.
Great imitation of Mr Roger, Chris your the greatest storyteller
Another good story.Thanks Chris 😊
My wife and I LOVE your stories!
It's Time 4 BASE HEAD 🗣️ CHRIS!!!!!!
❤
I LOVE THESE STORIES !!!!
The Mister Rogers comment had me 😂🤣
Great night, now.
Thank you Chris. 1:29
One of the scariest experiences... They must have been terrified.
I always enjoy your stories. Don't know about the ai effects. I more enjoy your stories without the effects. Because it leaves more to the imagination. But I'm Gen x and remember riding my bikes with my friends and going on adventures back in the 70's and 80s. Yes I'm an old man.
working on finding the right balance with art/ FX and music...FYI ...Thanks for watching.
Thanks for another awesome story chris can't wait for the next one.
Great Story Chris! What brave kids!;Glad your inside the cabin, not somewhere in a forest where it's dark and spooky!
Great story Chris !!❤
Good story Chris . That place is right up the road from where I live in Mendocino county . 😮
They're lucky it didn't get pissed off
What a terrifying story, Chris! Excellent work, as always, especially with your vivid details!
Kudos to the boys for showing some initiative and fixing up the cabin. Sounds like they had some handy skills. I like hearing that these days.
We didn't have the Internet and Xbox/PlayStation to take up our time like kids do now. Children naturally want to be helpful and do things and parents sticking them in front of a screen is taking that initiative away from them.
Wow, great story. I like the new format. Well done Chris 😊
Thank u so much Chris..i started watching your channel and haven't stopped watching😊..i love your story telling..it's like we're there😊😊keep hiking❤❤❤
Chris have you tried No-Li’s Squatch Pirate? Out of Washington State can’t remember if I’ve seen you try that one or not but I always think of you when I buy it. Great summer camping beer.
I've suggested No-Li as well. They have 3 or 4 Squatch beers to choose from.
very wise boys, they did everything right. great story.
