My family and I have camped a lot. We started when the kids were very young. I can't even count how many times we camped on national land. Feeling very grateful that nothing ever happened. Now, I'm all paranoid to camp. If you look into all the many missing people from the national parks it's scary AF! Thank your efforts to educate and share information to keep people safe.
Bless the souls that never returned home . I hope they are all at peace . They went missing in a beautiful place . Hopefully it's even more beautiful where they went . 😇❤️
why not, what makes you think a 'group thing' in the middle of nowhere is safer? just don't forget to pack a gun, something in the .45 caliber...you'll be just fine
These disappearances are so baffling! HOW can SOMEONE,SOMEWHERE not know what;s going on??? I feel for the poor families and friends of these unfortunate people-how very sad to 'disappear' and never be found-scary and tragic.
Keep up the good work in bringing these strange national park disappearances into the light of public inquiry. In case #2, the boy was riding a tricycle when he went missing, but you made no mention of whether the tricycle also went missing? Not that it makes a lot of difference, but it still bothers me not to know.
hi Rusty I'm from Dunedin in the South island New Zealand Just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work you do. keeping these people's story's alive .
it's pretty safe place only 127,000 people you can drive 40mins and be alone not see any body. I will tell a story of when I was a kid i was building a tree house out in the woods by myself there was no body else around. out of no were I got this deep Dark overwhelming feeling of being watched I couldn't shake it iv never felt Fear like it in my 28 year's on this planet. I grab my pack and ran as fast as I could to the point of collapseing at the wood's track entry. Iv been in some pretty extreme situation's in my life all most died twice i didn't feel Fear like I Did that day.

I also live in New Zealand and it doesn't have all these disappearances. I am due to take a trip to the USA, mostly urban areas but visiting Yosemite National Park (as part of the tour). I am kind of dreading going there.
back before there were census. lol..who knows. maybe thinks were so different ...that they knew more about wilderness just from living off land. I never had that thought. so interesting
👄... I'm 59 years old and i've never been camping , and after all this info from all the Rusty videos and David Paulides videos , i don't ever want to ... that's all .... i always enjoy your videos Rusty , it's always unfortunate events , but still , at least they're not forgotten . Thanks !
I have been camping, hiking, river rafting, and on numerous other outdoor adventures and I have enjoyed them all. You don't let a few car accidents deter you from driving, do you? Don't let a few disappearances deter you from hiking and camping.
1. Don't go alone into the wilderness. 2. Have a firearm visible on your person, I suggest a chest holster.Id rather get a citation for carrying a gun in a NP than never coming back.
What about the 2 young teen boys, who went missing together? The number of missing people cases is outrageous, Thank you for keeping them alive through your words Rusty🙂
Or maybe a psychology class for your response. Jean was likely in somewhat of a troubled state-of-mind after watching this vid, that was particularly filled with cases involving youngsters or small children. Yes, pain can affect performance. What John Prine expressed in the song "Souvenirs", "Broken hearts and dirty windows - make life difficult to see - that's why last night and this morning - always look the same to me".
I have looked again at your videos. You do a great job presenting the missing with compassion and I think your choices of who to include is intuitive. You're right-on, which is why I watch. Thank you.
It happens so fast , please stay in sight of eachother when venturing , parents never leave your.children out of sight not for one second literlly thats all it takes is one second!
Tim Eubanks: I will say what I said before on your comment about this: have a GPS emergency transponder AND a gun. if you start feeling weird, sit down, keep your mind with you and fire off your beacon. avoid removing shoes or clothes. I'm serious!!!! Lol Otherwise, without the gun AND transponder, I would STRONGLY suggest not doing the hike alone. Go with at least one other person, preferably one who is an outdoorsman and knows how to hike and what to do!
Obviously not all of them; no trace seems to indicate something extremely strange happening, no one just vanishes without a trace: but it is happening! If a dog can't track you, and you didn't cross a waterway , you left the ground!?! How?
Dog cant track or doesn't want to maybe? A bigfoot could go in a tree. Or move a very large rock and go in a cave. The dog couldn't track because bf was carrying them? Just brain storming.
never ever hike alone.. very bad idea!! Mountain lions, bears, snakes ,wolfs, even coyotes in a pack will attack a full grown man. And then you have the far out possibility of alien abduction, and big foot I know the last two are kinda out there. But ya just never know. As for me I always take a firearm when I go into the woods.and I never go alone
I think that the women that are taken are mistaken for men. Every one of them have short, man style hairdos. Paulides points that out in one of his books. I totally agree. Im never cutting my hair now lol
Karen Infidel super soldier program for the real life false flag Red Dawn approaching . Look up operation Topanga Wild Flower.... Also, I live in Salt Lake City UT and East Canyon Resevoir is 20 minutes from downtown. Those poor saps undoubtedly ran into some city/local trouble, maybe saw something they weren't supposed to. Also Jeffy Dahmer was in the area back then...
That's what "blows my mind" . How alot of people went missing when someone simply turned their head for a second away from them, on a straight path for example. It's crazy.
RG...... yup and there's never any screams or anything,,,they just vanish in a couple seconds!!! so i dont think those kinds of disappearances have anything to do w animal attacks, big foot etc. And the parks know wth is happening, and so does the damn govt. They are hiding it so the parks don't lose any revenues!!
People don't just flag down helicopters for the fun of it. He would only go to that extreme if he was in a lot of pain and knew he needed help. What an asshole that pilot is for not helping him out. Probably made the kid feel like an idiot or weak and talked him into just continuing the hike. The asshole had already landed so why not just give him a ride?! Oh that's right...greed. He would have if the kid had 600 bucks... pathetic!
I was doing a search, and haven't seen anything since first part of Sept. Here's a webslueth thread about it. Lot of info on it. www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?347920-AR-Rodney-Letterman-33-missing-at-Devil-s-Den-West-Fork-28-Aug-2017/page4
Does anyone remember a case where after several months a missing persons hiking shoe was found high in a tree (20ft or so from what I remember)? And where is the speculation about what's happening to these folks? Has there been any research conducted, interviews etcetera with search and rescue folk ? Does anyone know?
David Portera... an ex cop named David Paulides is the main researcher on all these strange disappearances. You can check him out on you tube and the disappearances will make your hair stand on end!!! Even cadaver dogs can't find anything, its very creepy!!! Seriously check out David Paulides!!
David Portera hey google the Dyatlov Pass incident! A lot of weird things happening to hikers and campers. Please hike with many people and don't hike alone!
yep check out David Palisades. ..I found a baby's shoe in a boulder field ....years ago long before I knew about this guy Palisades. I used to park my Chevy truck in this one slot, in a huge boulder field ...that no kids would be at. I was homeless at the time so this is Utah Canyon...I woke up, and the shoe was sitting on a boulder half the size of my truck. i relieved myself.I felt really fucking weird about it back than and never went to that canyon again
I hate all these folks go missing and all.....but I love the creepy factor of it and listening to you and the way you tell the story is simply...classic 💋
So interesting Rusty, love your stories. My latest theory is that what if all these people were walk in’s ? From another life form ? And it was time they returned ? Maybe they had taken over the body of this person in childhood to experience a human life... just another one of the thousand theorys out there !!
+1ChampagneSupernova1 I was thinking that too maybe his family sued him. I live in Hawaii and need to look into this case more. oh there is another strange missing case here in Hawaii about the guy who went missing and they found his picture. I think Rusty featured him in one of his vids.
Rusty, I have to call you to task on one of these disappearances. On number 4 Kevin Jay Ayotte, you actually have a picture of one year (22 months)old Aaron Anderson who disappeared on April 7th 1989 in Pine City MN. Your story also has some misinformation regarding the nearness of state parks. From where Kevin went missing Old Mill state park is over 130 miles away, Voyageurs is over 180 miles away while Mississippi River state park is over 200 miles away. Technically the disappearance doesn't qualify as a state park disappearance, even though it is a very sad and mystifying one.
that is not good. I go to pine city often. its beautiful there is the chegnawatana , snake river, cross lake and the st Croix river, crooked lake and devils lake. I think the waterways are connected. I found a mile at least of bf structures leans x's multiple t pees near a trail along with first time Ive seen toed prints it had rained and the mud it was adeep big round toes. I wasn't looking for bf just going for a walk with a friend. He doesn't know anything about bf but he smelled and mentioned the "dead road kill smell" then we saw the carrion birds Banning state park is about half hour from there also. And their is a rock quary near very beautiful
What seemed like yesterday, I sat out here on my front lawn under our big oak tree at the start of June, watching the latest vid of disappearances on this channel, and I commented something to the effect of, I fear for those who will go missing this summer, as the season was just upon us at that time. I'd thought about those people who had no idea then that they would make this list one day soon. Now, fast forward, here we are, post Labor Day, summer season is over, along with a new batch of people missing in state and national parks..so strange how life works. And lastly, I sure do miss that beautiful yet sorrowful intro music in all the previous vids..it went perfectly along with the subject matter..Rusty, please bring it back..
I know I have a different outlook on national parks now.. never realized just how many people have gone missing.. its sad and weird.. it must b torture for the family's for sure. and not knowing y or what happened.. though some are found but still have unanswered questions...
Fair enough :) but it is great to be in the great outdoors. I biked the east coast of the US alone a couple years ago. And love the peace outside and in the forest. And is also a soldier in the danish army. But of course I have tried the creepy feeling of someone watching you.... but you should still consider going to the forest :) often it's all in our mind.
Sounds like a heck of a bike trip! Many years ago, I did get to hike some of the Blue Ridge Mtns in West Virginia. So, I do at least remember what a forest looks like.
+willythewave I also grew up surrounded by woods.Everyday we were off into the woods.I used to think there were HOBOs cause we'd find strange garbage and stick structures.I'm leaving Lo Angeles and going back to the country in Pennsylvania.
According to Google maps, on foot, the hike proposed by #9 Dan Campbell, Yosemite Valley to Jardine, Montana is 843 miles and covers some of the most formidable terrain in the West.
Nostalgic Zone I love rusty too. This is the summer season some of these parks lost no one, out of the millions of people that went there. that's what I find incredible.
Welcome back Rusty! We missed you! Great stuff as usual. Got a question: do we have any information about what blood type the disappear-ees tend to be? RH- by any chance?
I think that it is terrible that that helicopter pilot didn't help Jeffrey because it wasn't considered "a life threatening situation." Then making the ridiculous suggestion that he could charter a plane for $650. What a jerk I hope he feels guilty for leaving him there only taking his back pack. What a terrific guy! Not!!!
Yes do tell. I am black and we know better as well. I never understood why you would want to go out in the middle of nowhere and stay in a tent. Nope! Not for me! To much can happen.
Why do folks go out to these places by themselves ? I think that is a warning sign ? I think the majority are suicide . The children are murder or possible accidental death .
I think most of these events have a logical explanation. People get lost and starve or die from injuries or exposure, they drown, get eaten by bears, etc. I don't think there is anything mysterious going on here. These disappearances don't deter me from hiking, camping, or having other fun outdoor adventures.
outbackeddie You obviously have not read everything David Paulides has written. There are unseen forces with us in this realm. This is a fact, not a fantasy.
J.D. Leslie looks like he solved the mystery that hundreds of others could not. Amazing finally someone could solve the puzzle that has taken others dozens of years to solve.
You can read my other comments about my most recent solo hike, but I just have to say this. We are talking about a minute portion of hikers who go missing under strange circumstance. In 2012 alone, there were 282 million people who visited national parks. Rusty has a grand total of 190 missing peoples cases that span over decades of time. So if in one year of those decades of time rusty covers, 282 million people visited national parks, its safe to say that the number of visitors to national parks is in the hundreds of billions if not somewhere in the tens of trillions. Lets just say David Paulides' books showcase every single strange missing person's case. That puts the number at about 1,600. Ill even bump him up to 2,000 even though I know he doesn't have that many missing persons cases in his books, but for simple math purposes ill make it 2,000. Now his books cover singles cases that span the time frame of over 6 decades. Remeber 2012 alone saw 282,000,000 people visit national parks. If all of David's cases happened in 2012, were talking less than .00071% of hikers go missing under strange and unexplainable circumstances. So if we are doing the math and not only bumping David's cases up 400ish people, but severely underestimating the number of people who have visited national parks in that same span of time to say 500 billion. We are talking about a .0000004% chance of going missing. .0000004%, a number WAY higher than the actual number, and some of you are now scared to go into a national forest? You are now scared to go camping? If you are scared to visit a national park based on the percentages of missing person cases spanning decades of time, its a wonder to me that you ever leave your house at all! Edit: one more thing to think about. Fear sells more products than anything else. Like missing 411 books for example. To suggest there is some great conspiracy in the media to cover up strange disappearances in national parks is absurd. With all the sociatal problems yet to be solved, do you really think such a minute problem is even worth discussing? Aliens and nephilim and Bigfoot and interdementional portals and all this bullshit about 1600 David Paulides' missing person's cases. There is some great conspiracy and government cover up for something so minute, some number so small calculations have to abbreviate the number? You are off of your rocker if you think that is the case. You are truly beyond insane to suggest there is some great conspiracy to cover up these national park's missing person's cases. If you are scared to go hiking or camping due to Rusty's videos or David Paulides' books, it is a wonder to me you even had the courage to drive to the books store to get David's book or the stones to open your web browser to order it online or have the mental strength and stability to look up Rusty's videos on RUclips. I mean, the anxiety you must feel knowing that the chances of being struck dead by lightning are 1,000 times greater at least. Now think of all the other more likely scenarios in which you could die. How sad is it to live your life in such irrational fear? This sort of mental illness has to be treatable. Cognitive therapy is warranted at the very least. But how will you have the courage to seek that help when so many dangers lie in your path? 😉
Irrational? If you knew it was your time to be abducted and have god what knows happen to you, i doubt you would go, most of us realise we are mortals, its like going out at night, 2am millions of people still out and about only a few dissapear, still doesn't sound like a good idea to go walking around late at night to prove how brave and naive you may be....
I think all of these people going on about aliens and bigfoot are wrong, think simpler, people in the outdoors most likely have healthy organs, mostly men that dissapear seemingly without trace, it would probably take a dedicated crook 5 mins to take one shoe and run away and throw it somewhere and come back. There are some very rich people who dont like waiting for organs, i would also suggest cartels/drug traffickers as possible causes, also to make a scent seemingly dissapear in thin air you could literally just bag up the surrounding dirt and take it with, any experienced mountaineer would know the scent seeps into the ground below the person, remove the person, remove the dirt, no trace, i am in australia but i used to have this hidden spot i would go to in the bush and i would see no problem in spending close to 10 minutes trying to clear my tracks so someone wouldnt find my spot. I agree though people get so crazy talking about fallen angels and shit i can see why you would swim to the other side, look into some of these things if you want to know more, its not the first time somebody ended up dead or missing after being placed in custody, people given to drug cartels as gifts.
My family and I have camped a lot. We started when the kids were very young. I can't even count how many times we camped on national land. Feeling very grateful that nothing ever happened.

So, you can fly out a 60 lbs backpack, but not a 170-ish pound man in distress? Then, you wait 40 days before declaring him missing? Silly.
that was really strange what a wicked person
really,a backpack
Criminal not silly
Even so for anyone going missing is a tragedy, what shatters mostly my heart are for those little kids and babies being Lost for ever 😢
We're going camping this weekend.
YOU BETTER BELIEVE IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE BY MY LONESOME.
I have been camping alone before and haven't had any problems. But you are right - it's much safer to have a few friends with you.
why not, what makes you think a 'group thing' in the middle of nowhere is safer? just don't forget to pack a gun, something in the .45 caliber...you'll be just fine
BAZOOKA MIGHT BE BETTER LOL !!!!
I would like to ask that helicopter pilot how he feels about it not being a life threatening situation now...
I agree I heard that story elsewhere a while back !!!
Jim Mc me too what a ding dong. Good Samaritan law. Lock that pilot up Seinfeld style
Jim Mc that pilot was a real ass
He let that kid die because he was to selfish and arrogant to help him
Makes me so sad.
i share your feelings on this i mean he took the guys big heavy bag why not just take him too especially in view of what happened
These disappearances are so baffling! HOW can SOMEONE,SOMEWHERE not know what;s going on??? I feel for the poor families and friends of these unfortunate people-how very sad to 'disappear' and never be found-scary and tragic.
I think the missing children cases are the saddest.
I can't belive this is number 19! That means you have covered at least 190 missing people! Just unreal... soo sad
Keep up the good work in bringing these strange national park disappearances into the light of public inquiry. In case #2, the boy was riding a tricycle when he went missing, but you made no mention of whether the tricycle also went missing? Not that it makes a lot of difference, but it still bothers me not to know.
All tragic disappearances, my heart goes out to their families.
hi Rusty I'm from Dunedin in the South island New Zealand Just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work you do. keeping these people's story's alive .
I live in Dunedin,Fl! I've always wondered what Dunedin,New Zealand was like.
Any weird missing people things going on there ?
it's pretty safe place only 127,000 people you can drive 40mins and be alone not see any body. I will tell a story of when I was a kid i was building a tree house out in the woods by myself there was no body else around. out of no were I got this deep Dark overwhelming feeling of being watched I couldn't shake it iv never felt Fear like it in my 28 year's on this planet. I grab my pack and ran as fast as I could to the point of collapseing at the wood's track entry. Iv been in some pretty extreme situation's in my life all most died twice i didn't feel Fear like I Did that day.

"Wondering off into oblivion" beyond creepy!
Makes you think how things were for those back in the old days before we had paved roads and highways..how many people went missing then?
Harry Potter I always think this myself! With no one to notice until months maybe years following the incident - if ever.
back before there were census. lol..who knows. maybe thinks were so different ...that they knew more about wilderness just from living off land. I never had that thought. so interesting
I wonder how many people died making those roads and trails during the Great Depression? Hundreds I am sure.

I can understand your fear. Learning from these videos on what not to do while hiking/camping etc. can help avoid such issues.
I'm sure the Park Service isn't all that happy with this information being publicized .
mugwugthemagnificful Why? When people are missing, they post the information on their own website.
Sad that the pilot could have saved him. Great video !! Thank you for posting Rusty !
1. Don't go alone into the wilderness. 2. Have a firearm visible on your person, I suggest a chest holster.Id rather get a citation for carrying a gun in a NP than never coming back.
What about the 2 young teen boys, who went missing together? The number of missing people cases is outrageous, Thank you for keeping them alive through your words Rusty🙂
If your firearm is visible they'd use more caution and take you out from a distance
This is really sad, and im think about the families, how devasted and pain in their hearts, and not knowing the truth.
Or maybe a psychology class for your response. Jean was likely in somewhat of a troubled state-of-mind after watching this vid, that was particularly filled with cases involving youngsters or small children. Yes, pain can affect performance.

Be safe...try not to dissapear into the unknown..
its Oblivion. try not to disappear into Oblivion. as in Oblivion Park CA.
Love your work Rusty! Just wanted to let you know they found Nicholas Larsen's body in a river inside the national park. Keep up the great work :D
Obviously not all of them; no trace seems to indicate something extremely strange happening, no one just vanishes without a trace: but it is happening!
If a dog can't track you, and you didn't cross a waterway , you left the ground!?! How?
border patrol trackers were used back in the day for stuff like that
Dog cant track or doesn't want to maybe? A bigfoot could go in a tree. Or move a very large rock and go in a cave. The dog couldn't track because bf was carrying them? Just brain storming.
I do indeed since a monthago when he started showing up under my bedroom window hehe not joking
I spend a lot of time in the woods and then I would say urban interface what followed me home
but they were there and nobody noticed
I'm also sad for the dog.
+Eyezfulloflove I'll beat that sasquatch! lol
never ever hike alone.. very bad idea!! Mountain lions, bears, snakes ,wolfs, even coyotes in a pack will attack a full grown man. And then you have the far out possibility of alien abduction, and big foot I know the last two are kinda out there. But ya just never know. As for me I always take a firearm when I go into the woods.and I never go alone
I think that the women that are taken are mistaken for men. Every one of them have short, man style hairdos. Paulides points that out in one of his books. I totally agree. Im never cutting my hair now lol
Karen Infidel: wonder why us poor men are targets for whatever this is that's takin people or causin their disappearances. :-\
Karen Infidel I'm not going to, either! LOL

Humor is such a Swiftian device.
sanguinelynx???
It's a good thing you're doing; keeping their cases alive. It's scary to think how quickly someone can vanish even just a few feet away.
That's what "blows my mind" . How alot of people went missing when someone simply turned their head for a second away from them, on a straight path for example. It's crazy.
rhoads' girl Exactly. It's really sad considering how beautiful a lot of these places are.
RG...... yup and there's never any screams or anything,,,they just vanish in a couple seconds!!! so i dont think those kinds of disappearances have anything to do w animal attacks, big foot etc. And the parks know wth is happening, and so does the damn govt. They are hiding it so the parks don't lose any revenues!!
I will never go to a National Park, there are strange things in the woods. I am totally creeped out
Thanks for another great video Rusty!
Makes me not want to go into the parks again but people disappear all over the planet. love the channel xx
If i ever went missing rusty, your allowed to tell my story. I love waiting for your missing persons episodes!
People don't just flag down helicopters for the fun of it. He would only go to that extreme if he was in a lot of pain and knew he needed help. What an asshole that pilot is for not helping him out. Probably made the kid feel like an idiot or weak and talked him into just continuing the hike. The asshole had already landed so why not just give him a ride?! Oh that's right...greed. He would have if the kid had 600 bucks... pathetic!
i am sure he is still working and have no thoughts about what he did
Yay yippie thanks I've been anxiously waiting for this fear factory vid to create a psychological barrier between me and pursuing my favorite hobbies.
And my wife wonders why my anxiety goes up and I'm become overly concerned when we go camping. Where are all these bodies without a trace?
Got a missing hiker since Sunday in Ozark Natl Forest near Devils Den State Park...3 days no sign on a "moderate" trail, NW Arkansas
Any sign of him yet? I have hiked the Butterfield Trail a few times. It would be hard to get lost for this long.

I was homeless at the time so this is Utah Canyon...I woke up, and the shoe was sitting on a boulder half the size of my truck. i relieved myself.I felt really fucking weird about it back than and never went to that canyon again
I hate all these folks go missing and all.....but I love the creepy factor of it and listening to you and the way you tell the story is simply...classic 💋
I love these vids Rusty, thanks! Your narration is great and music too. Nice vid...
Go into the wilderness prepared. I have seen people 5 miles out in the desert in the summer wearing gym clothes and carrying one bottle of water.
I feel sorry for the families that lost their loved ones. I just hope they didn't suffered..😖
So interesting Rusty, love your stories. My latest theory is that what if all these people were walk in’s ? From another life form ? And it was time they returned ? Maybe they had taken over the body of this person in childhood to experience a human life... just another one of the thousand theorys out there !!
Idk why, but I think maybe the heli pilot knows more about Jeffrey's dissappearance than he lets on.
+1ChampagneSupernova1 agreed and is there a rule where the heli pilot can't take a stranded hiker? Wasn't the heli pilot a SAR officer?
+1ChampagneSupernova1 I was thinking that too maybe his family sued him. I live in Hawaii and need to look into this case more. oh there is another strange missing case here in Hawaii about the guy who went missing and they found his picture. I think Rusty featured him in one of his vids.
+1ChampagneSupernova1 and yes something is really wrong , I wonder if the pilot had something to do with him going missing as well...
I truly appreciate that you take time to show us their faces again. They matter.
Rusty, I have to call you to task on one of these disappearances. On number 4 Kevin Jay Ayotte, you actually have a picture of one year (22 months)old Aaron Anderson who disappeared on April 7th 1989 in Pine City MN. Your story also has some misinformation regarding the nearness of state parks. From where Kevin went missing Old Mill state park is over 130 miles away, Voyageurs is over 180 miles away while Mississippi River state park is over 200 miles away. Technically the disappearance doesn't qualify as a state park disappearance, even though it is a very sad and mystifying one.
that is not good. I go to pine city often. its beautiful there is the chegnawatana , snake river, cross lake and the st Croix river, crooked lake and devils lake. I think the waterways are connected. I found a mile at least of bf structures leans x's multiple t pees near a trail along with first time Ive seen toed prints it had rained and the mud it was adeep big round toes. I wasn't looking for bf just going for a walk with a friend. He doesn't know anything about bf but he smelled and mentioned the "dead road kill smell" then we saw the carrion birds Banning state park is about half hour from there also. And their is a rock quary near very beautiful

What seemed like yesterday, I sat out here on my front lawn under our big oak tree at the start of June, watching the latest vid of disappearances on this channel, and I commented something to the effect of, I fear for those who will go missing this summer, as the season was just upon us at that time. I'd thought about those people who had no idea then that they would make this list one day soon. Now, fast forward, here we are, post Labor Day, summer season is over, along with a new batch of people missing in state and national parks..so strange how life works. And lastly, I sure do miss that beautiful yet sorrowful intro music in all the previous vids..it went perfectly along with the subject matter..Rusty, please bring it back..
I don't know why I watch these, they always make me cry. So sad.
5.30--hitching is nowadays very dangerous. very.
#5 Ruth
Has the creepy earmarks of murder. Poor woman.
I know I have a different outlook on national parks now.. never realized just how many people have gone missing.. its sad and weird.. it must b torture for the family's for sure. and not knowing y or what happened.. though some are found but still have unanswered questions...
Nicholas Larson's (no7) remains have been found in a river and sent to Anchorage for examination.
Another Great video Rusty--thanks.
Another great and interesting episode of the missing and or found dead from Rusty. Merci.
Another great video, not too keen on this new music, it's not as mysterious as the other music!
everytime I see there's a new video here, I feel like a small kid waiting for it's Christmas presents (im 25)
Thanks for your great channel !!!
Awesome video as always rusty keep up the great work i always get excited when u put out new vids huge fan rusty
Thank you for the great videos and information. I dunno bout y'all, but this is as close as I get to a forest..
willythewave I believe it, some people have the outdoors in their blood. My blood seems to have been replaced with orange soda.
Fair enough :) but it is great to be in the great outdoors. I biked the east coast of the US alone a couple years ago. And love the peace outside and in the forest. And is also a soldier in the danish army. But of course I have tried the creepy feeling of someone watching you.... but you should still consider going to the forest :) often it's all in our mind.
Sounds like a heck of a bike trip! Many years ago, I did get to hike some of the Blue Ridge Mtns in West Virginia. So, I do at least remember what a forest looks like.
+willythewave I also grew up surrounded by woods.Everyday we were off into the woods.I used to think there were HOBOs cause we'd find strange garbage and stick structures.I'm leaving Lo Angeles and going back to the country in Pennsylvania.
Nah, I camp and hike all the time. I always go armed & not usually alone anymore, and not just because of stuff like this.
According to Google maps, on foot, the hike proposed by #9 Dan Campbell, Yosemite Valley to Jardine, Montana is 843 miles and covers some of the most formidable terrain in the West.
Strange how similiar David Jaramillo and Lloyd Reese look to two of the characters in That 70s Show.
That's 30 disappearances you've covered this month alone, crazy. Diggin the new music by the way
Nostalgic Zone I love rusty too. This is the summer season some of these parks lost no one, out of the millions of people that went there. that's what I find incredible.
I'm in UK - but I love your work anyway Rusty, thanks again for uploading.
Novice hiker on a 2600 mile trek? That's asking for trouble.
Thanks for another great video that will make you wonder what's going on!!
Kevin is still in the house, that's why his dog kept coming home.
Welcome back Rusty! We missed you! Great stuff as usual. Got a question: do we have any information about what blood type the disappear-ees tend to be? RH- by any chance?
I think that it is terrible that that helicopter pilot didn't help Jeffrey because it wasn't considered "a life threatening situation." Then making the ridiculous suggestion that he could charter a plane for $650. What a jerk I hope he feels guilty for leaving him there only taking his back pack. What a terrific guy! Not!!!
amazing - I'm always in awe of the information you are able to obtain
the complete lack of finding Human remains..artifacts is so baffling..this is scary..bootleggers? drug runners? thx Rusty...
Roughneck communities even ? The list goes on and on.......
Welcome back Rusty.
Thank you for the Alaska and PCT cases.
The music at the end always gets me.... :'(
Another good one Rusty !!!
native americans dont disapear...we know to stay out of parks
Marie, why do you guys stay out of parks? What do your people know?
Yes do tell. I am black and we know better as well. I never understood why you would want to go out in the middle of nowhere and stay in a tent. Nope! Not for me! To much can happen.
One Pretty Cookie stay in section 8 so the government can round you up easily when the time comes
Truth!
Rusty,...yaaaaauuyyy another video!!!
Love these Rusty!!
Thanks for a great video Rusty.
i miss the other music but i love listening to your voice
Your awsome Rusty thanks for all you do man wish i could me meet you. If your ever in Columbus Ohio please let us know. stay safe buddy!!!
these videos are so crazy and sad how people just go missing never hear about it or never get a reason why.And love going into the woods
Hey Rusty thanks again for your videos.
Misspoken statement @ 0:28 Awesome video series!!
Been waiting for this ! Thanks 😊😊😊⭐️⭐️⭐️
Have you seen what's happened in Norwood, CO? There's a young man missing in a lake there.
Why do folks go out to these places by themselves ? I think that is a warning sign ? I think the majority are suicide . The children are murder or possible accidental death .
Love your Videos Rusty. Thank you.
Number 1. It's so sad that Fez ends up disappearing. So sad.
I think most of these events have a logical explanation. People get lost and starve or die from injuries or exposure, they drown, get eaten by bears, etc. I don't think there is anything mysterious going on here. These disappearances don't deter me from hiking, camping, or having other fun outdoor adventures.
outbackeddie You obviously have not read everything David Paulides has written. There are unseen forces with us in this realm. This is a fact, not a fantasy.
J.D. Leslie Is there evidence?
J.D. Leslie looks like he solved the mystery that hundreds of others could not. Amazing finally someone could solve the puzzle that has taken others dozens of years to solve.
These cases are among those where animals and suicides have already been excluded.
Great videos, as usual ! @5:24 if you look under the letter H on the sign, it looks like a face in the brush, wearing a hat. Eerie !
rhoads' girl YES I SEEN IT TOO.CREEPY AF.I ALWAYS SEE THINGS LIKE THAT TOO.
BRING BACK THE OLD MUSIC!!!!!!
Good Morning Rusty.
Prefer old music
Howdy friend! Another great video!
Hope that helicopter pilot never refused another hiker a ride. Brutal.
Women stop going hiking alone in the wilderness, omg! So creepy and very sad.
Love your videos! Keep up the good work buddy!
On the Number 1: they reopened the case in 2010 but could not find anymore info on it.
Very sad. Shared. People need to know about this stuff.
You can read my other comments about my most recent solo hike, but I just have to say this. We are talking about a minute portion of hikers who go missing under strange circumstance. In 2012 alone, there were 282 million people who visited national parks. Rusty has a grand total of 190 missing peoples cases that span over decades of time. So if in one year of those decades of time rusty covers, 282 million people visited national parks, its safe to say that the number of visitors to national parks is in the hundreds of billions if not somewhere in the tens of trillions.
Lets just say David Paulides' books showcase every single strange missing person's case. That puts the number at about 1,600. Ill even bump him up to 2,000 even though I know he doesn't have that many missing persons cases in his books, but for simple math purposes ill make it 2,000. Now his books cover singles cases that span the time frame of over 6 decades. Remeber 2012 alone saw 282,000,000 people visit national parks. If all of David's cases happened in 2012, were talking less than .00071% of hikers go missing under strange and unexplainable circumstances.
So if we are doing the math and not only bumping David's cases up 400ish people, but severely underestimating the number of people who have visited national parks in that same span of time to say 500 billion. We are talking about a .0000004% chance of going missing.
.0000004%, a number WAY higher than the actual number, and some of you are now scared to go into a national forest? You are now scared to go camping?
If you are scared to visit a national park based on the percentages of missing person cases spanning decades of time, its a wonder to me that you ever leave your house at all!
Edit: one more thing to think about. Fear sells more products than anything else. Like missing 411 books for example. To suggest there is some great conspiracy in the media to cover up strange disappearances in national parks is absurd. With all the sociatal problems yet to be solved, do you really think such a minute problem is even worth discussing? Aliens and nephilim and Bigfoot and interdementional portals and all this bullshit about 1600 David Paulides' missing person's cases. There is some great conspiracy and government cover up for something so minute, some number so small calculations have to abbreviate the number? You are off of your rocker if you think that is the case. You are truly beyond insane to suggest there is some great conspiracy to cover up these national park's missing person's cases.
If you are scared to go hiking or camping due to Rusty's videos or David Paulides' books, it is a wonder to me you even had the courage to drive to the books store to get David's book or the stones to open your web browser to order it online or have the mental strength and stability to look up Rusty's videos on RUclips. I mean, the anxiety you must feel knowing that the chances of being struck dead by lightning are 1,000 times greater at least. Now think of all the other more likely scenarios in which you could die. How sad is it to live your life in such irrational fear? This sort of mental illness has to be treatable. Cognitive therapy is warranted at the very least. But how will you have the courage to seek that help when so many dangers lie in your path? 😉
Tim Eubanks Tell it Like it is Tim
hope you or a loved one never goes missing!!!!
Irrational? If you knew it was your time to be abducted and have god what knows happen to you, i doubt you would go, most of us realise we are mortals, its like going out at night, 2am millions of people still out and about only a few dissapear, still doesn't sound like a good idea to go walking around late at night to prove how brave and naive you may be....
I think all of these people going on about aliens and bigfoot are wrong, think simpler, people in the outdoors most likely have healthy organs, mostly men that dissapear seemingly without trace, it would probably take a dedicated crook 5 mins to take one shoe and run away and throw it somewhere and come back. There are some very rich people who dont like waiting for organs, i would also suggest cartels/drug traffickers as possible causes, also to make a scent seemingly dissapear in thin air you could literally just bag up the surrounding dirt and take it with, any experienced mountaineer would know the scent seeps into the ground below the person, remove the person, remove the dirt, no trace, i am in australia but i used to have this hidden spot i would go to in the bush and i would see no problem in spending close to 10 minutes trying to clear my tracks so someone wouldnt find my spot. I agree though people get so crazy talking about fallen angels and shit i can see why you would swim to the other side, look into some of these things if you want to know more, its not the first time somebody ended up dead or missing after being placed in custody, people given to drug cartels as gifts.
I have no idea how you could use the figure 500 billion with accuracy either, probably not a B mate.
