Good to see your keeping an EYE out between the tent and the tree I see👁? lol Please keep them Rolling ? but, what happens when you run out of story's? don't tell me i'll just expect that time doesn't come.👍@@basecampchris
Chris could offer group hikes and campouts, creating a sweet business as a guide and storyteller in the evenings. Can you imagine how many would sign up for an outing like this?
Has anyone on here ever had a sighting or experience on Rice road between Desert Center and Parker AZ?? There’s 80 something miles of 2 lane highway there and I had a scary experience there one night. I’m wondering if anyone else has ??
That is so true. Tell a few stories in the evening and one at night before bed for kids and their parents or guardian. It would be a great job. I and my son would be one of your first customers but you are too far away. I'll have to memorize your stories and tell them myself. Its best if a on-parent tells them. It's just different.
My family lived in Bushnell, Florida in 1973. We had some friends who claim to have seen a female and young “ Yetti” in their back yard ! I was 16 and me and my 2 sisters were horseback riding in the woods on a trail one afternoon. Our horses stopped abruptly and were nervous! Everything got really quiet and we just sat still for about half a minute listening. That primal fear you talked about gripped me and we turned and galloped BACK the way we came! My poor younger sister, 7 years younger, was kind of left in the dust 😆 She had a pony and my other sister and I had large horses! I feel really bad because she was telling us to wait, but there was no thought of slowing down 😅I’ve never experienced anything like that since. I’m 66 now and would like to think I would be the last to turn and run and put others first 😳 Loved all the stories and I believe every one of them!! Thanks, Terri W.
Hi Chris,,enjoy listening to the stories people write in to you ..I had a scary night upstate New York…on my property ..No people around way back in the woods..I sleep in the back of my truck ,it has a cap over the 8 foot bed..One night something bang on the center of the cap at 1 in the morning..thinking maybe it was a owl with something it caught .?.because I heard a owl earlier..fell back to sleep ,then 3 in the morning again something bang on the center of the truck cap again ..I’m talking loud ,,scared me again …I had a cheap flashlight ,not much light ..I open the tail gate and jumped out a min..later,,nothing was there ..to reach the center of my truck cap 7 feet off the ground then 2 1/2 feet over ..Always wondered what it was ..
Wow, that's freaky! It smelled you in there! Probably hit the top to see if you'd start barking or hollering or make a noise like you wanted out. Very creepy 😊
Absolutely love your videos, Especially love when you cook, watching today I was curious when I saw you cut raw steak next to tomatoes, then put cooked steak on same chopping board, this is a high risk for cross contamination, have you ever gotten sick fixing food this way? Have to tell you I was a bit freaked out, lol.. I was an executive chef in the UK many years ago, I always stressed about cross contamination between uncooked meats and produce, 😊
These stories are the highlight of my Sunday. No Big Foot here in the UK, but these stories make me think there is definitely something in the woods in the US.
-> Yes, have heard they are in the U.K.. Scotland, England.. I think they call them "townies" there.. Even "Finding Bigfoot" show went there to film.. They're in Australia, "yowies", even New Zealand ("marero, something like that).. They're in many countries worldwide, period. Divine Angelic Best to ALL!! 😻🙇🏻♀️🙏🏼🕊️👼🏻🌻🌄🌞
Iv had a creepy experience in Woburn woods, Milton Keynes, England(uk). Me and my mate went into the woods around 3am cause we were young and bored, we went pretty far into the woods where it opens into field that has a view across Milton Keynes, there’s a steep hill that you need to climb down to get into this field, people use this an mountain bike jump, once we got to the bottom and to the other side of the field we heard knocking back up in the trees, no animal noises, dead quite, when then heard VERY heavy footsteps walking at the top of the hill, no way a man could stamp that heavy while moving that quick, me and my friend looked at each other and legged it out of there, he to this day doesn’t go back to the woods, I do and still have many strange things happen there, it’s not the biggest woods, but if you wanted to hide something in there you probably could
A Bigfoot ran out in front of a friend's car on our way from Hot Springs Arkansas to Mt Ida Arkansas. We weren't exactly sure of what we saw, too unbelievable! Thanks for taking us along, life doesn't get any better than out in the wilderness.
Thank you Basecamp!😊 P.S. I will share an epic story that happened to my family on Firetrail Road Marysville Washington in 1993 Christmas Eve Concerning the Tall Whites. It was beautiful.
Thanks Chris. It is so nice to be in a community of other "experiencers". When you witness something as unbelievable as these things are, it really shakes up your reality! I have found that I have to be very careful about who I can share my experience with. I think some people are too afraid to entertain the idea that there are these big, cunning , possibly dangerous creatures roaming around in the woods. It would make it pretty hard for them to enjoy the great outdoors. It is easier for them to just ridicule our encounters. I get it. But it is so upsetting to see these things and not be able to share the experience. I am not making it up. I saw something so far removed from any other animal I have ever seen in the woods. I know it was a gift to witness it! Not many get the chance to. Thanks so much, all the best to you. Wendy Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦
If you grow up in BF country, then it's not so unusual for people to at least think they're possible. BF bumper stickers everywhere, etc. But I recently brought one of my stories up with a Hawaii friend who gave me the eyeball as if I'm a crazy person. But then again, people in Hawaii have Menehunes or little spirit people who get blamed for lost car keys and who ate the last cookie. :D This same person relayed a personal story about Pele the goddess of the volcano, so hmm. :) I know what I experienced as well.
They (Sasquatch) seem to have quite a nice nature about them, generally speaking. Kind of chill, nonchalant, curious, humourous at times, and caring - from the many times they assist or help humans and children who have ended up in precarious situations. Of course, like any bear or even human, don't mess with their kids lol!
Love your coping mechanism trekking back to the car whenever you are up and about in the dark forest. You are brilliant in how you have mastered the clean aesthetic of your presentation style. No fluff. Relatable and the fact you go “hands on” in the dark makes us all appreciate our cozy homes but allows for vicariously going along on the ride with you. Stay natural and real.
Chris...this is my favorite channel and I so look forward to your stories especially on Sunday and love the beer and ale you review. Thank you for doing this for us and stay safe out there and GOD BLESS
Great Channel!! Thank you for all the great videos. I was land surveying in a remote area of Alberta, Canada north of Nordegg. We were finishing up a right of way markup and I was about 800 yards away from my crew and truck. Suddenly I felt dread and a for sure feeling of being stared at. The feeling was so intense I couldn’t bring myself to look in that direction. I started to speed walk back to my truck while talking to myself. As I realized I was still a good 500 yards away from safety, I started running towards the truck and heard movement parallel to me getting closer. Miraculously I broke through the bush and saw my crew chief loading the truck. He saw I was as pale as a ghost and asked: bear? I said no. I just need some rest. I couldn’t even bring myself to talk to him about it as it was so intense and unusual it may have caused him to think I’m crazy. Luckily this was our last day in that job. This happened in September of 2005.
Look forward to Sunday. Listen while I hang out my laundry. Lol! Enjoy when you have guests and these listener stories. As always, careful out there Chris.
Great video Chris. I really enjoyed listening to other viewers' stories and experiences. Thank you for doing what you do. A new video from Base Camp Chris has become something I look forward to every Sunday. Stay safe and "Keep Hiking". One of your loyal viewers and subscribers, Steve.
Recently I bought my quite rural home in West Virginia. My property line is shared with Nathaniel Mountain Wilderness. Last summer I was asleep in my upstairs bedroom with my wilderness facing window open. I woke to the sound of a loud, deep female voice talking in an unfamiliar language. She spoke with varying voice tones and pitches. It sounded like she was a short distance into the woods. I was so frightened, my heart was racing as I rushed through the house making certain the doors and windows were all locked. The voice stopped but after a few minutes I heard loud noises, like someone slamming several times with a large piece of wood on a tree. A couple minutes later I heard a loud cracking sound, like a tree limb breaking. I laid awake and frightened for the rest of the night, but heard nothing else. The next day when I was outside in my yard, I saw a dogwood tree near the edge of the forest had been broken in half. Since then I make sure my house is always securely locked up at night.
Your new videos are one of the best things about Sunday! I hope you never stop sharing these stories. I really enjoy the variety of settings, beer choices, the occasional cooking lesson, and viewer comments. I think it would be a good idea to combine smaller stories into one video occasionally. I think you did that once. Keep hiking and storytelling!
You should know how much your content helps me and hopefully others. There is definitely healing in being in and surrounded by nature. Albeit the Sasquatch is definitely a predator, but imo the human predator is just as dangerous. Love your content and wonderful experience story telling. I as well look forward to your videos. 😊🇨🇦
Chris, I think you should organize a hiking trip with some of your fans to the woods one of these days. Maybe an overnight or couple of nights camping where you all can exchange spooky stories over a campfire. It'll be interesting if you can make a video of it, for us subscribers who live in Asia and other parts outside of the U.S. There surely must be fans of you who live close to where you are, that might be interested in such an outing. It'll be great, don't you think so? And Chris, your videos are something I've immense pleasure in watching (at the same time it spooks me without fail...lol). Keep the good work going, Chris. Keep Hiking ✌🏽
Hi 👋 Chris. Thank you so much for the fascinating stories of people's encounters,and for sharing the awesome views of your surroundings. I'm from the UK 🇬🇧 and I feel like I'm right there with you. Keep hiking,stay safe and God bless xxx
Hey chris, you got me hooked on Sasquatch, I watch others but you're my favorite. I have answered this to you before a number of times but I'm sure I was chased by one when I was a young guy and thank God it was a good one. It was dark and never saw it. Love the surrounding scenery and especially the main one when you were telling the stories, so picturesque. I was salivating when you were preparing your meal😂 I usually watch you late at night for better effect. Thanks a lot buddy and keep hiking.❤❤❤
It was so awesome to hear you read my comment :) Thanks for all your stories. You have a great variety of videos but the scary stories are my favorite!
I enjoy the periodic stories from Pollock Pines having lived there for over twenty years. The bar mentioned by one of your commenters we lived across the street from. The area spoken of by another, between hwy 50 and hwy 88 is very familiar to us. This is an area where we cut firewood every year. Our story wasn't an actual sighting or vocalization, was more an individual nesting area. We were well into the forest ,many miles, having started late in the season. Everything close in had been picked clean close in. We found a place on the edge of an old burn that was good pickings. After cleaning up some seasoned downed cedar and fir, I began scouting around for any possible hardwood. I climbed a hill that over looked the area we had just cut in - having spotted an oak that may have shed a large limb. On the back side of the trunk of oak I found a large pile of gathered acorns at the edge of an obvious impression in the dirt. Something large had obviously layed there. My first reactiin was bear. I called my wife up to see what I had found. Although I told my wife that it was more than likely a bear. Something bothered me about what I had found. Bears don't stack acorns in a neat pile and there no bear signs around the area. ( scat , tracks or tree rubs ). No vehicle tracks other than our own. Suqurrels or rodents wouldn't stack and leave a neat pile. My wife admitted she was suffering from unusual fear when we first got out of the truck, but, it had intensified after my find. She had never felt that way before having been raised in Pollock Pines since her early teens and spent much time in these woods. Me I am wary but not fearful. Never go into the wood unarmed or your head where the sun don't shine.😁
Hi Chris, saw a photo somewhere of you and your partner - Jeanette, I think? - she looks like such a lovely person, her face was so open, warm and friendly. You guys look so happy together which is great to see 🙂
Yes my wife and me 9:16 experienced the Sasquatch telepathic filtering and com. I had a sudden fear come upon me and the hair stood up on the back of my neck as I drew close. Powerful experience. Its such a privilege to hear them vocalizing sometimes hours. Lifetime experience ❤
Ah, I love that area you’re in! It’s such a special place for me and my family. I cried tears of joy when I visited there after the Tamarack fire, seeing that the beautiful meadow had survived. It is an ancient and spiritual place. Great video, as always. Creek tacos - yum! Your campfire cooking segments are always a treat!
I have motion detectors and spot animal movement when I’m awake at night. My dog needs to go out sometimes so I set up something like an airport system so I can spot an animal coming around on our blind side. A Bigfoot certainly is not concerned about stealth. If I saw one in the window I would find it hard to close my eyes for long. Your channel is amazing.
Really enjoyed the video where you interviewed the man that it happened to at the end. Please consider doing more of that (unless you already are...I'm brand new to your channel and love it!!!)
Thanks Chris ❤I have searched for other camp storytellers But there’s No one even close to you! I wish you had more videos per week cause one is just never enough lol😂. Nidya from Texas
Good to see ya yet again Mr Chris!! 15:31 By the way, I could be wrong, but I think Gregory meant to say "cher" at the end of his comment, if so, then it's actually pronounced "shy", which is cajun french for darling or honey.
Thank you Chris for the viewers stories. So interesting that so many people have different experiences of the unexplained, and things that go bump in the night. I have had a couple scary moments in My life. Please be careful out there fixing creek tacos with those bears out there. Always looking forward to Sunday evening with the best of Base Camp Chris stories. And the fine connoisseur of fine ale. 😃🍻cheers and keep hiking 🥾
Always great to listen to these stories! Grew up in San Diego CA and now live in Colorado for the past 3 years. I can say I know exactly what that "terrified for no reason" feeling is! It happened to me a couple times while out surfing in Oceanside CA. It's a feeling deep in your soul like, I need to get out of here now. Come to find out later that day there was a 10-12 foot great white sighted near the pier where I was surfing! And I've felt that while out camping here in Colorado as well. Not sure what it was that time but I just had that sinking feeling that something was close and saw me, but I couldn't see it...
Hey Chris, thanks for these videos. Lol I found your channel bc of your outdoor gear reviews. And was hooked when u told scary stories. Being native American from the southwest, these stories hit home.❤
All of your stories are scary. Enjoyed the writing of Trish. She appears to be full blooded for partial Native American. I am part Cherokee and this is the way that we view Bigfoot - a keeper of the forest. Who is to say that Bigfoot just maybe left over from the Neanderthal Period in our world. They could have survived the Ice Age.
Thank you for sharing these stories, Chris! It's always a special treat when you incorporate cooking into your videos. Reminds me of the old school Base Camp Chris videos. JH!
LOVE the Camp Crystal Lake hat! Friday the 13th gear? That movie was filmed at Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco (North Bergen Boy Scout) near Blairstown, NJ, not far from where I live!
My husband and twin 16 year old sons just loooooove your videos! They have developed an interest in cooking too!! We've always been semi-obsessed with Sasquatch...but now cooking too because of your videos! For two years we lived in McCall, Idaho...and my mother-in-law worked for years in Yellowstone. You probably know her!! We have a cabin in Island Park. Come to the Smokies if you're out East...we'll show y'all a good time! ❤
Hi Chris.watched one of your videos from I think a few years back where you have kodiak cakes.managed to get some here in Glasgow very tasty! My new breakfast! God bless stay safe.👍
I like the comment from Tricia. I'm led to believe that Bigfoot isn't violent unless confronted or threatened. I kinda think it's funny when they throw rocks at people but yet I would have a healthy respect for these creatures. All these stories are so fascinating to me. I think there are things out there we can't explain and I wonder if the government knows more than we do. I love your stories Chris and look so forward to them. Thank you for reading all the comments. Some very interesting stuff. Personally, I refuse to go into the woods or forest. I like adventure but I'd rather stay on the safe side. Lol. Stay safe out there Chris!!! You are a brave soul . You bring us enjoyment and the heebie jeebies!!! 😅. Hugs
This is the best channel on RUclips. Sundays are my favorite 🦧🌲
Yes but now I want a good beer. 🍺 lol
Me 2
So true!
Agreed but im hoping for longer videos!!! ❤
Totally agree!
I have to admit, I'm practically obsessed with watching Sasquatch/ Bigfoot encounter videos!
What can I say? I love it. 🇨🇦
Same!😅
Same
Good to hear!⛺️👁️🌲
Me too. Lol
Good to see your keeping an EYE out between the tent and the tree I see👁? lol Please keep them Rolling ? but, what happens when you run out of story's? don't tell me i'll just expect that time doesn't come.👍@@basecampchris
Chris could offer group hikes and campouts, creating a sweet business as a guide and storyteller in the evenings. Can you imagine how many would sign up for an outing like this?
Count me in
I’m also in!!! That would be awesome!! I would pay an admission fee to sit around a camp fire with Chris and some other followers!!
Has anyone on here ever had a sighting or experience on Rice road between Desert Center and Parker AZ?? There’s 80 something miles of 2 lane highway there and I had a scary experience there one night. I’m wondering if anyone else has ??
That is so true. Tell a few stories in the evening and one at night before bed for kids and their parents or guardian. It would be a great job.

Anybody with experiences on Turkey creek or Village Mills creek in east Texas. I did.

Thanks for sharing that Terri! interesting how decades later you can recall that experience....Welcome - Chris🌲👀🦉
I feel for your sister, I hope she forgave you! Lots of sightings in the Ocala National Forest. There is an annual Bigfoot Convention in Ocala now.

Very concerning! You Jan doled it well.,. Get a good flashlight… makes you feel more confident.
Wow, that's freaky! It smelled you in there! Probably hit the top to see if you'd start barking or hollering or make a noise like you wanted out. Very creepy 😊
I have noticed, the nicest people are on these sites!!
Thank you Chris & all who share their stories.
GOD BLESS
Yes they are⛺️🌲🍁
Wow Chris, so nice of you to put out the viewers' stories! Thanks. 🇨🇦
They had some good ones…it’s just a sample of what we have daily!
Absolutely love your videos,
Especially love when you cook, watching today I was curious when I saw you cut raw steak next to tomatoes, then put cooked steak on same chopping board, this is a high risk for cross contamination, have you ever gotten sick fixing food this way?
Have to tell you I was a bit freaked out, lol.. I was an executive chef in the UK many years ago, I always stressed about cross contamination between uncooked meats and produce, 😊
I’ll run it as a separate cutting board. Thanks !
Love your creepy encounter stories,the beer choices are a cool addition. Storytellers are sacred
Thank you!! ⛺️

I too have heard that they are in the UK. Supposedly called"the Gray man" or "Big gray man" 🤔!
@aaroncourchene4384 I'm going to have to look that up. Never come across any stories, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.
Iv had a creepy experience in Woburn woods, Milton Keynes, England(uk). Me and my mate went into the woods around 3am cause we were young and bored, we went pretty far into the woods where it opens into field that has a view across Milton Keynes, there’s a steep hill that you need to climb down to get into this field, people use this an mountain bike jump, once we got to the bottom and to the other side of the field we heard knocking back up in the trees, no animal noises, dead quite, when then heard VERY heavy footsteps walking at the top of the hill, no way a man could stamp that heavy while moving that quick, me and my friend looked at each other and legged it out of there, he to this day doesn’t go back to the woods, I do and still have many strange things happen there, it’s not the biggest woods, but if you wanted to hide something in there you probably could
When Chris said, ‘ten feet tall’, and glanced over his shoulder! Classic.
I had to laugh.
Great comments.
Thank you, Chris.
😁that was fun!👁️🍁⛺️
10 ft tall is massive! Very welcome. ⛺️
Don't you love how he cracks himself up? 😂
Chris, you picked the most beautiful spot for today’s post! Really enjoy hearing all these responses. Be careful out there!
A Bigfoot ran out in front of a friend's car on our way from Hot Springs Arkansas to Mt Ida Arkansas. We weren't exactly sure of what we saw, too unbelievable!
Thanks for taking us along, life doesn't get any better than out in the wilderness.
Thank you, Chris, for the stories (comments), the beautiful scenery and the creek tacos!!!
Thank you Basecamp!😊 P.S. I will share an epic story that happened to my family on Firetrail Road Marysville Washington in 1993 Christmas Eve Concerning the Tall Whites. It was beautiful.
Would love to hear it!!😊
That is awesome!⛺️👁️🌲
My wife and her friend, who was born in Marysville, had an odd UFO encounter on Firetrail Road as a teen in the mid 70s.
Washington State is supposed to be number 1 as far as sightings. I want to see one but from a distance😮
@@basecampchris It was really something and I looked forward to telling you. I'm going to look for a link in your video. Thank you Basecamp.
Viewer stories are always interesting. Thanks for another great video.
Great stories! Tacos looking good 👍 thx Chris ❤

❤ best part of Sunday. You may not be pregnant but you always deliver.
That’s funny- thanks! C

I never got interested in Bigfoot until your channel popped in my feed. So very glad you showed up,I'm fascinated.
Glad you enjoyed🍁⛺️

Oh my, tacos made in the outdoors, I bet they were awesome! Keep hiking!
Great Channel!! Thank you for all the great videos. I was land surveying in a remote area of Alberta, Canada north of Nordegg.

The feeling was so intense I couldn’t bring myself to look in that direction. I started to speed walk back to my truck while talking to myself.

Do you ever get Dogman stories? One of those things have to see for yourself to truly believe, but interesting.
Look forward to Sunday. Listen while I hang out my laundry. Lol! Enjoy when you have guests and these listener stories. As always, careful out there Chris.
OMG!! That looks sooooo yummy! And, I love that you used soft tortilla rather than hard taco 🌮 shell!
Thank you 😋
Sundays mean Base Camp Chris 👍
Great video Chris. I really enjoyed listening to other viewers' stories and experiences.
Thank you for doing what you do. A new video from Base Camp Chris has become something I look forward to every Sunday.
Stay safe and "Keep Hiking".

I was so looking forward to your video Chris… thank you for your efforts 👍🏻

Maybe you should put out an offering.
Keep your pets inside at night and get one of those super loud whistles like Chris has.

Hi 👋 Chris. Thank you so much for the fascinating stories of people's encounters,and for sharing the awesome views of your surroundings. I'm from the UK 🇬🇧 and I feel like I'm right there with you. Keep hiking,stay safe and God bless xxx
Very welcome , Christie- Chris🌲
Hey chris, you got me hooked on Sasquatch, I watch others but you're my favorite. I have answered this to you before a number of times but I'm sure I was chased by one when I was a young guy and thank God it was a good one. It was dark and never saw it. Love the surrounding scenery and especially the main one when you were telling the stories, so picturesque. I was salivating when you were preparing your meal😂 I usually watch you late at night for better effect. Thanks a lot buddy and keep hiking.❤❤❤
Thank you, Chris. I really enjoyed this episode, like always. Now I want some creek tacos.😊
Thanks Natalie! ⛺️

I enjoy the periodic stories from Pollock Pines having lived there for over twenty years. The bar mentioned by one of your commenters we lived across the street from.
The area spoken of by another, between hwy 50 and hwy 88 is very familiar to us. This is an area where we cut firewood every year.
Our story wasn't an actual sighting or vocalization, was more an individual nesting area.
We were well into the forest ,many miles, having started late in the season. Everything close in had been picked clean close in. We found a place on the edge of an old burn that was good pickings. After cleaning up some seasoned downed cedar and fir, I began scouting around for any possible hardwood. I climbed a hill that over looked the area we had just cut in - having spotted an oak that may have shed a large limb. On the back side of the trunk of oak I found a large pile of gathered acorns at the edge of an obvious impression in the dirt. Something large had obviously layed there. My first reactiin was bear. I called my wife up to see what I had found.
Although I told my wife that it was more than likely a bear. Something bothered me about what I had found.
Bears don't stack acorns in a neat pile and there no bear signs around the area. ( scat , tracks or tree rubs ). No vehicle tracks other than our own. Suqurrels or rodents wouldn't stack and leave a neat pile.
My wife admitted she was suffering from unusual fear when we first got out of the truck, but, it had intensified after my find. She had never felt that way before having been raised in Pollock Pines since her early teens and spent much time in these woods. Me I am wary but not fearful. Never go into the wood unarmed or your head where the sun don't shine.😁
Such a beautiful place. Thanks for putting all that together for us Chris. Much love to all the great people in North America. 🇬🇧
❤ from California
That was fun, the creek tacos looked delicious! Really enjoyed the guitar music.
Glad you enjoyed it⛺️
Hi Chris, saw a photo somewhere of you and your partner - Jeanette, I think? - she looks like such a lovely person, her face was so open, warm and friendly. You guys look so happy together which is great to see 🙂
I love the sound of crunch crunch crunch as your walking. What a beautiful brook.
Yes my wife and me 9:16 experienced the Sasquatch telepathic filtering and com. I had a sudden fear come upon me and the hair stood up on the back of my neck as I drew close. Powerful experience. Its such a privilege to hear them vocalizing sometimes hours. Lifetime experience ❤
Wonder if the Bigfoot retire to Florida like so many people do. Keep the stories coming!
Ah, I love that area you’re in! It’s such a special place for me and my family. I cried tears of joy when I visited there after the Tamarack fire, seeing that the beautiful meadow had survived. It is an ancient and spiritual place. Great video, as always. Creek tacos - yum! Your campfire cooking segments are always a treat!
Thanks for taking me along on your trip 😊😊😊have a fantastic day 😀
Thank you! You too!🍁🐻🌲
Thanks Chris for the Great Stories Listening from the UK 👍🏻
Sunday stories, thank you!❤
You're a nice break from the world, Chris. Thanks for the stories...and the beer.
Appreciate the comment!!!
😀👏🌲
I have motion detectors and spot animal movement when I’m awake at night. My dog needs to go out sometimes so I set up something like an airport system so I can spot an animal coming around on our blind side. A Bigfoot certainly is not concerned about stealth. If I saw one in the window I would find it hard to close my eyes for long. Your channel is amazing.
great stories chris and thanks guys for your stories ...... i get the notifacation evening time in Asia then i crack open a beer love this group
I love to go to the woods with Chris without the hassle of packing out and in! Love your stories,Chris! You're a great story teller! 🤷🔥🏕️⛺🛣️🧸🥾🪓🪚🦍
My family Bigfoot stories go back 100 years, via Oklahoma.
Really enjoyed the video where you interviewed the man that it happened to at the end. Please consider doing more of that (unless you already are...I'm brand new to your channel and love it!!!)
Thanks Chris ❤I have searched for other camp storytellers But there’s No one even close to you!
I wish you had more videos per week cause one is just never enough lol😂. Nidya from Texas
Hoping to do more! ⛺️👍thank you!
Good to see ya yet again Mr Chris!!

By the way, I could be wrong, but I think Gregory meant to say "cher" at the end of his comment, if so, then it's actually pronounced "shy", which is cajun french for darling or honey.
Yes- I had no idea what he was referring too… guessed it was Cajun.
Thank you Chris for the viewers stories. So interesting that so many people have different experiences of the unexplained, and things that go bump in the night. I have had a couple scary moments in My life. Please be careful out there fixing creek tacos with those bears out there. Always looking forward to Sunday evening with the best of Base Camp Chris stories.
And the fine connoisseur of fine ale. 😃🍻cheers and keep hiking 🥾
Glad you enjoyed it...thank you so much!! C🦉🍺👀🌲
Thanks Chris great video. Those tacos looked good.
Yes I agree.mr Chris is a awesome story teller
Love you Mr Chris 💖
Always great to listen to these stories! Grew up in San Diego CA and now live in Colorado for the past 3 years. I can say I know exactly what that "terrified for no reason" feeling is! It happened to me a couple times while out surfing in Oceanside CA. It's a feeling deep in your soul like, I need to get out of here now. Come to find out later that day there was a 10-12 foot great white sighted near the pier where I was surfing! And I've felt that while out camping here in Colorado as well. Not sure what it was that time but I just had that sinking feeling that something was close and saw me, but I couldn't see it...
Hey Chris, thanks for these videos. Lol I found your channel bc of your outdoor gear reviews. And was hooked when u told scary stories. Being native American from the southwest, these stories hit home.❤
All of your stories are scary. Enjoyed the writing of Trish. She appears to be full blooded for partial Native American. I am part Cherokee and this is the way that we view Bigfoot - a keeper of the forest. Who is to say that Bigfoot just maybe left over from the Neanderthal Period in our world. They could have survived the Ice Age.
I agree… not certain. But a keeper of the forest. 🌲⛺️
Yes !new video!
Chris, I hope the weather stays mild for you out there this winter!😎
Happy Sunday Chris❤
Thank you for sharing these stories, Chris! It's always a special treat when you incorporate cooking into your videos. Reminds me of the old school Base Camp Chris videos. JH!
I look forward to every new story from you! Very interesting and enjoyable!
I love this channel, Chris.

Chris your story telling is so captivating..just love it ..some great little stories!Cheers!🍺
Glad you enjoyed it⛺️
LOVE the Camp Crystal Lake hat! Friday the 13th gear? That movie was filmed at Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco (North Bergen Boy Scout) near Blairstown, NJ, not far from where I live!
Your storytelling has a nice aroma to it, pine needles and all!🏕🌲🐿🍺
I loved everyone's comments. You have a great audience on this channel!
I appreciate that! And agree!👍⛺️
My husband and twin 16 year old sons just loooooove your videos! They have developed an interest in cooking too!! We've always been semi-obsessed with Sasquatch...but now cooking too because of your videos!
For two years we lived in McCall, Idaho...and my mother-in-law worked for years in Yellowstone. You probably know her!! We have a cabin in Island Park.
Come to the Smokies if you're out East...we'll show y'all a good time! ❤
Oh thank you! Great comment… appreciate the Offer in the Smokies!c ⛺️🌮🌲
Hi Chris.watched one of your videos from I think a few years back where you have kodiak cakes.managed to get some here in Glasgow very tasty! My new breakfast! God bless stay safe.👍
terrific as always thank you Chris 😊😊❤❤
You are so welcome
Good morning
Hi Chris!
What's up?⛺️🌲⛺️
I am always eagerly waiting for your stories. Love your channel.
Thank you so much 😀
I like the comment from Tricia. I'm led to believe that Bigfoot isn't violent unless confronted or threatened. I kinda think it's funny when they throw rocks at people but yet I would have a healthy respect for these creatures. All these stories are so fascinating to me. I think there are things out there we can't explain and I wonder if the government knows more than we do. I love your stories Chris and look so forward to them. Thank you for reading all the comments. Some very interesting stuff. Personally, I refuse to go into the woods or forest. I like adventure but I'd rather stay on the safe side. Lol. Stay safe out there Chris!!! You are a brave soul . You bring us enjoyment and the heebie jeebies!!! 😅. Hugs
Well Chris you know the freaks come out at night , in the woods or in the city I truly enjoy your stories
