I think Chris got teary when mentioning that the couple had lost their son. I recently lost my son. The pain is undescribable :( Thank you for the stories Chris. 💜
There really is no point in lying about it. My husband and I stopped telling our stories years ago cuz people just don't believe, or even if they go along with it, that look in their eyes gives it away. It's nice to find a place online where a neat person like you can tell other people's stories, and those of us who have them can feel a little more valid lol.
I've never saw one but I believe. I work at a state park and there have been sightings here. In fact there was a crew came and filmed and got the story. I've heard people come here and search for Bigfoot. I pray I never see one. I think I would panic. Well anyway you know what u saw so if people don't believe you that's their problem.lol
Hey, it’s a big, wild planet out there and it’d be hubris to think us humans are the only type of our species here. I hope who or whatever they are that they continue to find a way to survive. Nature has developed them for a reason, just like we have been. Stay safe, enjoy your adventures and Chris thank you for sharing them!
I randomly picked your story so I could listen to it while I drove down highway 44 west through Central Missouri and just about the same time you said Ken and Judy were from Joplin, I passed a road sign that read Joplin 228 miles. What a coincidence. I'm glad they're okay. Their experience kept me awake and your storytelling kept me engaged all the way to my driveway. Thanks
You know, I grew up running round in a cab over RV with my family, we were always out and about on weekends and took trips whenever we could. We had some mighty strange things happen to us too. Some of it could have been caused by humans, but having things thrown at the camper, or having it rocked from side to side when there’s no wind and your out in the middle of nowhere, is super strange. My dad was a big ol’ Marine, and he would not tangle with it, and did not want to talk about it. We would look at each other and just stay quiet. Odd things would also happen to us in the areas around Fort Bragg, Russian River, and Cloverdale, before they were built up - gold areas. I remember that one day we woke up and as usual my brother and I got up early to run around outside and something had left small fish in a straight line along our back bumper. The thing is that this back bumper had an end that opened so that you could store your fishing poles in it. It’s as though something knew what we wanted and tried to give it to us.
Elizabeth, this is a great intro into what sounds to be an excellent story. You should develop it further if You haven't already. If You haven't written alot before You can start it as a childrens story to get the body of the story out then tweak it into a longer more mature intricate form from there. This has been My personal trick in writing and it works like a gem. 💎
This is one of the reasons why I stick with 5th wheel RVs. The height of the bedroom prevents an average height person from casually looking into your bedroom. In this case though, it probably wouldn't have mattered because of this creature's height. This is also why I'm always well armed when I'm RVing.
I know whatvelse prevents an average person looking in the window...a 357 fired into their forehead when they do... I guarantee they'll never do it again
@@james00711 I guess it's a matter of opinion but I'll agree with him if I'm in the middle of nowhere and you peek in my window that's a perfect fine reason. The way I see it is are you retarded? Someone doing that is looking for trouble
They may be tall but you can’t just jump into the drivers seat and take off, you have to get out of the fifth wheel and try to get to your truck door. Think about that.
I discovered this channel a month or two ago, and LOVE it. Not that it has anything to do with what I'm about to say. I am an old guy now. I'm sixty five and just retired Friday, officially anyhow. I won't get long winded. I have always loved the outdoors but never had the gumption or courage of Chris here, but I was blessed to have two friends - brothers - who grew up on my street as a kid who were avid outdoors guys due to their Father being from Greece, first generation and a real man's man, and they had property in the Allegheny Forrest and Park area in Southern New York State. We spend many a weekend and several single weeks in their secluded cabin area within the park for years growing up. Long story short, THEY were the woodsmen and I was the tag along, but in 1977 I and the two brothers who were one and two years, respectively, younger than me, took a bus trip across country to visit Yellowstone in Wyoming and Montana and then Glacier National Park in Northern Montana. Really old school way of traveling and with literally fifty dollars in my pocket. Yep, old. We were gone about a month and a half, and we hitchhiked hundreds of miles and backpacked MOST of the time in the back country. We had no firearm. Nothing. We encountered a bear one night (thankfully a black bear) and once or twice a group of "questionable people" who were of concern to us but nothing came of it. Keep in mind, we were in a few instances in situations where we didn't really see people for days at a time, and we were OUT there before cell phones or anything, and if something did arise you were miles and miles from any help. The point I'm trying to make is, these days, and even fifteen years or twenty years ago and farther out, I'd NEVER go out to a similar place without a firearm or two, at least. At LEAST. I live in Cleveland and it's very dangerous and we have constitutional carry now, thank the Lord, but even without I have my CC and don't go anywhere without any type of protection and I don't think that's an overreach at all, especially if you're dozens or more miles away from help or assistance. So, forgive the long post; regulations or not, always bring a firearm of suitable caliber to your camping destination and frankly, I'm surprised these people had nothing with them for protection. Kind of foolhardy in my estimation.
@dyates6380-I totally agree! I too RV in remote places, boondock camping & alone. But never w/out plenty of guns. Fortunately I've never had anything happen, but I'd feel like fighting back in a case like this one. Seems like a lot more weird stuff is going on now than years ago. Stay safe!
Does he think he is Art Bell? I've lived in this area all my life,there's things we don't talk about. This story is bullshit Totally, heard camp fire stories many times. This guy needs to go into comedy
I am in Florida , I've seen two , up close , but no matter how many times i tell the experience some will believe , some won't . I've never really cared if they believed or not , I was with two other people , they experienced the same thing and that's good enough .
I’m in the Western most part of the Florida Panhandle where we have a lot of forest land and have never seen anything but others have. Where are you at in Florida?
Well leslievey I will confirm Bigfoots are real. I live in Alaska and those bastards give me trouble on event. I work a few hours a week at a remote dam and they like to throw basketball sized rocks into the water splashing me. You just have to give it right back to them. I will run at them yell and fire rounds into the treeline. The much less likely not to annoy me for a while after
You tell the BEST stories! The way you tell them is just as good as the stories themselves. My Grandpa told good stories to I miss him. He built an off grid cabin in Nelson County VA. Land locked with the George Washington National forest and within walking distance with the Appalachian trail. I'm 49 years old been in the mountains all my life. I'm a logger / truck driver and I stay out for about 2 weeks at a time so I sleep in the woods etc. I've seen and heard things from time to time myself. Nobody is in the woods more than me. Keep the stories coming and thanks for taking the time to provide others these campfire stories. I miss my Grandpa, but it helps to watch your videos - thanks, your friend Buster Frank
A friend and I were tent camping in Rocky Mountain National park in August of 2015. At breakfast I told my friend I heard something bumping into stuff during the night. He acted like I was hallucinating or crazy. After breakfast, a park ranger drove up and said we had to leave, there was a grizzly in the campground. I lived in an area with black bears, but grizzlies are a different bear. Last time I was in Yosemite Hertz didn't have the sub-compact I reserved and "upgraded " us to a full size Dodge Polaris. It looked so much like a cop car other cops would wave at us and the gate guards at Yosemite mistook us for a state vehicle and let us into Yosemite without paying. I retired to Thailand, we have wild elephants, forget about bears!
This happened a long time ago to my husband and me and our few children that we had at the time in the '70s. We had rented a rustic cabin in the Poconos. I think it was there, as we were from New York and we knew that we could find beautiful places in Pennsylvania for vacationing if one wanted to just rough it. So we rented it for a weekend or whatever. Maybe more days, and the kids were between the ages of 5 snd 7 years old. This place had a nice pond with chairs as well, set up, and I remember the dragonflies would light on you with pretty multi-colored wings, and it was just very peaceful and pleasant, which I think everybody NEEDS from time to time for sure. Also if I remember, one could do some fishing, which my husband absolutely loved to do The first couple of nights were fine and totally normal. We thoroughly enjoyed the serene beauty of the forest around us and the lovely lake, though. About the third night though we had just locked the screen door leaving the main door open, because it was rather warm out and we wanted to get a breeze in the place. Well we left the next day... Thank GOODNESS the lock was ON the screen because around IN the dead of night someone pulled the screen twice making it really loud and I'm glad that they lock HELD!! I remember I was just FROZEN in fear. I couldn't even move. Of course we didn't sleep the rest of the night and I think my husband had the courage finally to go over and just slam the front door shut and lock it. As I said we left the next day and we told the proprietor what had happened. I didn't go into the office, that was a decent distance away from the cabins. I assume they gave my husband a refund. But we have no idea what it WAS, and we may never know what it was. And I just hate to think of the screen door not holding with the lock. Who knows WHAT was on the other side of that screen. Of course with our minds we try to rationalize everything, and I thought maybe it could have been the proprietor of the place checking the cabins in the night (?) and he noticed that we just had the screen door open only, and maybe he was going to open it and close the main door quietly just to keep us safer for whatever reason.(?) But I doubt that THAT'S what it was really. I think when the screen door was pulled it made this banging sound really loud waking us up, and whoever was on the other side might have thought maybe they have guns or something, and I better run for my life because now I know that they are probably AWAKE. There's been too many cases. I think of people seeing these creatures called Bigfoot, and NOW we have these ones reported that look like a large wolf with long fangs and yellow eyes. I just pray for everyone's SAFETY. I know how scared out of our minds we were that night when this happened, and I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone else, Especially with young children. We've never had anything happen again, and this was so long ago, and I'm not that far from 80 now... and my husband's passed away 10 years. But life goes on and it's interesting that now I live in the Poconos with my lovely daughter, and we've been here going on 5 years. It's absolutely beautiful and very peaceful The only occurrences that cause any kind of caution are when the bears come around and we have to take the bird feeders in at night. Beyond that, just nothing. So I'm so very, very grateful that we've been safe. It doesn't hurt to have the three dogs we own either!😇👌
Remember, humans are the most dangerous animal we have to fear. Knowing homes/vacation rentals in a mountain area, a serial killer will stalk humans like animals, silently, with deadly intent until they make an attempt. Always be aware when you vacation anywhere. We want to get away, have fun , relax, but be aware. Don’t ever leave doors unlocked! Sad but true. When you’ve had sisters badly harmed by an unseen male predator you never feel completely safe again, and remain very aware that this happens more than we know but never expect it will happen to you!
BE ARMED WHEN TRAVELING. Many have gone missing in the Strawberry/Dardanelles area of hwy108 in Tuolomne County California. Campers and travelers, with their belongings left behind! Just miles due west from here on hwy108 is the small town of Sonora you must pass thru as you travel east. Serial killer Charles Ng and Leonard Lake kept a torture house of horror here killing dozens! Serial killer Carrie Stayner hunted and killed just south of here in Groveland on hwy132/120 and possibly in Yosemite National Park! Serial killer Loren Herzog and Wesley Shermantine killed 72 women and buried them on his father’s ranch north of hwy108 on hwy104 in Calaveras County California! PLEASE, remember STRANGER DANGER when traveling, especially in isolated rural foothills and mountains!!
Never encountered one, even in passing. But my grandfather did, twice... and he was not one to "tell tall tales". He was a trucker all his life, and a good portion of it was driving logging trucks up and down the dirt trails to logging camps to pick up the harvests, which is where he saw "sasquatch" or whatever one wants to call it. His rig was too big for them to mess with, and he was too interested in just getting away and on with his job to mess with them, so they were both fleeting encounters... but given his nature and personality, well, I have little choice but to believe him.
The same thing happen to a guy that my dad knows , he goes to my dads church. .it happen in the sierra by West Point ca . His trailer got lifted up a couple feet and drop by back down while he was sleeping around 3 am waiting for the next day hunt. He got out of the trailer and fire couple rounds in the air sending whatever it was scattering. He wasn’t scare and still slept through the night . Next morning he left early morning while it was still pitch black to get a head start up the logging trail. He said as he was only couple hundred feet away from his trailer whatever lifted his trailer that night was standing behind a tree growling , barking and howling at him … it was also throwing rocks and tree Limbs at him .. he got spook, and aim his rifle at it not firing and slowly back away . He then took off running back to his trailer and went home …
I'm from Alberta as well. Back in the mid 70's my younger brother swears he saw a sasquatch, during a winter storm, when they were coming back from Nordegg. My brother isn't the type to make up stories so I tend to believe there is such a thing.
We live in the Pac NW and my oldest son camps ALOT. One of his trips, he was off trail, camping with his GF, sitting by the waters edge, and across the river they started hearing wood knocks and grunts. After dusk had passed, and dark started to really settle in, rocks started to fly across the river to my sons campsite. Easily 30-40 ft. Makes no sense! They scramble into the tent and my son fired off his small caliber rifle a few times and everything went still. They sat up till quite late, finally fell asleep. And about 3am the same nonsense starts, wood knocks, rocks flying across the river, hoots……again my son fires off his rifle and yells. Silence. Nothing more that night. The next morning as soon as it got light they packed up and beat feet!
That's not aggression. They were playing around like kids also probably smelled kitchen activity. Something strong enough to pick up an RV isn't gonna be stopped by that paper thin aluminum RV skin.
@@paxwallace8324 I completely agree with you 100%. With a beast powerful enough to lift a RV, it would be easy peasy for it to tear into the RV. Thankfully that didn’t happen, although it was still a very scary story.
@@CannabrannaLammer, I would stay. Especially if I had camping gear left outside. I would want to retrieve it before I left, but probably not until daylight anyway.
I had an RV for a few years after I retired and would never have stayed parked somewhere that I felt uncomfortable. I was traveling HWY 20 to Idaho across Eastern Oregon in a very remote area. It was late at night and I came across a remote rest area in the high desert in the middle of nowhere. I was the only one parked there, and there were a few lights on, but not too bright. About an hour after I laid down pebbles started bouncing off the RV a few at a time. So I got up and looked out and didn't see any other vehicles and it's all very flat, high desert out there. I then went out and looked around and saw nothing anywhere. So I went back in an was going to lay back down and small pebbles bounced off my vehicle again. Not one to hang out, with high strangeness going on, I jumped in the RV seat and drove on down the road. I knew there was another, more developed and used, rest stop closer to Ontario, OR, about an hour away, so drove there and spent the rest of the night there. I worked and lived in Yosemite for a few years and also lived a few in Oakhurst, CA in the heart of the Sierra National forest, a really spectacular National Forest. Never had anything weird happen while living and exploring both places.
We drove through that hwy 20 area and stopped at a potty last Sept. It was already cold, and nobody was around. I could see it being a bit creepy! The rest stop also had an old useable water pump. Pretty cool! I've also lived in Oakhurst, Yosemite, and Mariposa. I can imagine that these people might have encountered a bear, using their r.v. as a scratching post. Not only are they big, hairy, and grumpy, but they can also be vocal, sounding kind of like a cranky deep voiced man, lol.
If u like these stories you should check out Dark waters and sasquatch Chronicles by Vic cundiff. There's a lot of good podcasts that have great camping stories.
Thank you ! I’ve only been listening to your channel for two days but I’ve already devoured about 8 stories . Im hooked . You narrate well. I like your personality and that you keep it pg and dont swear a lot. Plus plus plus ! You get out in nature and sit alone in the dark with a lamp telling terrifyingly scary stories that alone would creep anyone out ! I hope you never encounter a cryptid or animal attack !
I ended up in California in the spring of 2022, I will save the back story for time. However, I find myself on a 80 acre old Chinese hemp farm in a valley called Lucerne Valley in San Bernardino county. This property was loaded with huge, half wind eaten, broken down green houses. There were lots of campers, trailers and rv's on property also. This was my reason for being there. I got a hook up to stay at this place for free, while I figure things out. Apart from myself, there was only one person who was doing security, since there were still some valuable equipments there. I got a nice 40ft. Cold storage trailer, customized to a 2 bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette. Quite comfortable. I found myself two beautiful stray puppies shortly after I got there. About 3 months after I got there, I went in the end of May, and 3 months later in August, my pups grow really fast, but they were still only about 4 months old, and for some reason they didn't bark and they were really scared of everything. If a Ravin flys too close or another stray dog wonders on the property, they would run straight to my feet and try to hide between them. But most of all, they fear the sounds of coyotes.At this time, they sleeping indoors and I would keep the door unlocked so they could open it up with their paws and go to do their business outside. But after a few petty thefts on the property, I didn't feel so secure anymore, so I locked the door. Next morning, I didn't like what I saw on the floor, so the following night I let them sleep outside. I must let you know, they sleep outside all the time, since it was high summer, and outside was often cooler at night than inside, they like to hang out on the steps, but they always have the option to come inside when they want, as long as the door is unlocked. But now that I locked it, they were not happy. I also want them to be brave dogs, and I think that if they stayed outside, that would help, it didn't. I am not the guy who gets scared of nothing. I am not big, I am not bad, never served, not a fighter, never been to jail, not religious and don't believe in crypto-zoology, but love the stories. I am , however, very cautious of people and try to stay away from most people. As for the wild and wildlife, I am totally at peace and have no fear. when the coyotes howl at nights, if it's close, I grabbed my night light and go investigate. If I hear owls, I want to see them. My dogs, if they could talk, would beg me please not to go, I could tell in their behavior, but they would faithfully follow me despite them being scared, I was so funny to me. However, one night, they were outside, the door was locked when they started frantically trying to break the door open! I could hear sounds coming from one of the green houses that was near to my trailer. Is sounds like some animal was in big trouble. Almost like a wolf getting caught in a snare, like I saw on some RUclips videos. I could hear ripping and clawing and grunting and panting, but whatever it was it definitely sounds like a dog getting caught in something. I grabbed my light and machete and open the door, my dogs flew past my foot, right behind the sofa. I went out and shine the light at the green house, the sound stopped. I went to the door and sweep the light inside, looking for eyeshlne, nothing. My puppies joined now, shaking like Scooby Doo. I stepped inside and search every inch of that greenhouse and find nothing! I said whatever it was, it must have left. The thing is, not even 10 minutes after I went back in, the sound came back again! Even when I stand at my door and look over at the green house, I could see it shaking as if being torn apart. But if I shine the light or went too close, the sounds stopped. I didn't figure out what it was and is now my biggest mystery. I didn't feel afraid or felt like my life was in danger, but I am very disappointed that I didn't get to see the animal.
I love these stories. We can't be the only beings living on this planet. And the mountains in the US must hold secrets and places where something could live. Keep hiking. Lots of respect and love. From the 🇬🇧 ✌🏽
Sunday nights don’t feel complete without a story in the woods from you Chris. Thanks for another good one! One thing I’d love to see more of is your hikes back in the dark post-story. No matter how long or short they are they add so much to the mood… as a viewer I almost feel the need to urge you to hurry up just in case! Lol
Hey bro if you are the pope blow me a couple hundred thousand would you that would be cool you do have it don't you I know it's just the name I'm just thinking that new fifth wheel and new four wheeler yeah.
Great video. There is many stories about strange happenings and disappearances in the back country in multiple countries. Some locations have clusters. They are part of a series called Missing 411. Many are never found, if people are found they have no memory of the activities during the disappearance time, many children are found in areas that are impossible to get to. Many are found without shoes and have perfectly clean undamaged feet. My uncle was a interstate truck driver for General Motors. He was once followed by a massive orange orb or ball object on the Nullarbor Plains outback Australia.
Love listening to your stories Chris! I also have spent a lot of time exploring the forests alone. Most of the time I am very comfortable and confident. I have had a few weird experiences where I would have my hair stand up or unexplained feelings of uneasiness. I also had an experience about 15 years ago that convinced me that Sasquatch is real. Again, really enjoy hanging out with you and your stories.
@ Kelly I would absolutely love to read about some of your experiences, particularly, your Bigfoot experience, if you would be willing to type out what happened! I always love hearing about these types of experiences!!!
@@dogmomma4019 Well Dogmom I can tell you bigfoots can be very annoying. I live in Alaska and work a few hours a week at a remote Dam. Those bastards give me trouble on event. They like to throw basketball sized rocks into the water and splash me! You just have to give it right back to them. I run and yell in their direction while firing fire off rounds into the treeline. They much less likely to cause problems next several times
They were experiencing a Sasquatch and they can feel your fear. They talk to you telepathy and in your dreams. I used to live with 9 in Ohio backwoods cabin and they got so bad that I sold my cabin. They won't hurt you unless you are shooting at them. I know alot about Sasquatch or Bigfoot
Too many people have seen and experienced Big Foot for it not to be true. Your last short by Paul Freeman Ep. 3 had a very good picture of a creature walking in the forest. I'm with you and the way you, Chris, are thinking. Thanks for your stories. 😊
Yes. We've been experiencing them for a year and a half since we bought this property. I don't think this tribe means any harm but it's scary having homeless people, or whatever they are, roaming around at night while you're sleeping...I don't care who they are. We've heard it all, whistling, whooping, wooing, screaming, banging, "ninja" talk, throwing pebbles and acorns, tree knocks...a couple of nights ago, on the side of the house...all of it. I wish they just would go away. It's creepy knowing they're watching. I sent our story to Steve Isdahl of The Facts How to Hunt channel here on this platform but it's ongoing and I got sick of sending updates...it is what it is.
@@-OBELUS- Have you contacted Sasquatch Chronicles? There's just something about hearing the people tell their own story. 32 years on our prop. They are here.
@@Gigi30107 No I haven't. I posted it in the comments of The Facts by How to Hunt channel as well. That was enough. It was also good to hear there so many people tell their stories (some clearly BS) but enough real experiences to not feel alone. Thank you for being another person that steps up and admits it. It's validating. If you haven't already you might look at the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch channel. The guy is a native Alaskan tribal council member and he has many friends and relations that have experienced these creatures. I'd like to hear your experiences as well. 32 years would be a book.
@@Gigi30107 One the best places is the ""HOWTOHUNT"" channel here on youtube. The fellow Steve is a professional Hunter and reads encounter storys from folks all over.
Hi pb. This sounds like a Bigfoot critter to me and hell yes I will confirm they are real. I live in Alaska and work a few hours a week at a remote Dam. Them bastards like to harass me. They will throw basketball sized rocks into the water splashing me. Just have to give it right back to them. I run at and yell at them while same time firing off rounds into the treeline. They tend to leave me alone for a few weeks after.
This happened a very short time after the 2011 Joplin Missouri massive Tornado so I imagine that is why that couple left. How horrifying to have this attack after their town gets ripped to shreds and losing their son!
It's scary hearing these experences while I'm in my house but I admire ur boldness in coming out in d dark with only d 2 lanterns n a jug of Bèer .Thanks for sharing n keep it up.All d best.
Thanks for this one. This was frightening! I have never seen bigfoot myself, but I don't dispute that people see what they see. Keep the stories coming!
That was a scary story. I think they were quite brave staying the night. I think I'd have cleared out right then. Thanks for a brilliant story & for telling it so well.
Hey morgan. This sure sounds like a Bigfoot critter to me. These bastards like to harass me on event as well. I live in Alaska and work a few hours a week at a remote dam. They like to throw basketball size rocks into water splashing me. All you have to do is give it right back to them. I run at and yell while firing off rounds into the treeline there at. They will leave me alone for a while
Thank you for the great stories. As a van lifer I am hesitant about dispersed or wild "camping" . I mounted solar motion detectoe lights on the side of my van where the sliding door I located. I have camped in remote places in national forests. The lights help when I want to open the sliding door to allow fresh air into the van. However, mounting the lights I opened the door once to only have a huge bear sniffing through my camp site. I had barbecued steaks, potatoes and ears of corn earlier. Another incident involved a skunk. So, the lights will remain and I will mount more on the other side and one in front, one in the rear of the van.
What a riviting story. This really spooked me out. I think it’s because you tell the story in such a way that you actually felt you were there! You’re Ace Chris.
I really like the sound effects that you add appropriate times. You are very brave to go into the woods alone and talk to us about these frightening encounters. Stay safe out there and God Bless 🙏🏽
Thank you Chris!!! I gotta say, I would be FREAKED out, telling these stories.....then having to walk out in the dark!! I've watched nearly all of your videos, and I've seen you also stay in tents.....or your little pop-up.......the more stories I hear......the more it freaks me out to think about what lurks in the wilderness!
I enjoy these videos. I like the stories. With 1.5 thousand comments here on one video you probably won't see this. But, I figured I'd leave a comment in support of what you do.
Whoa! That was an encounter with some very strong beast creatures! Because you mentioned that there was a dialogue between the creatures, I suspect they were a type of sasquatch. Stay away from their territory, you can travel anywhere, they can not. Respect their power. Had either one of them walked outside, that would have been the end of that couple in the RV. Stay inside and just drive off!! Don't shoot them and don't go out to confront them. They are stronger than you! You're not bad. I will click like. You're easy on the eye and the ear, Base Camp Chris. Carry on, but stay aware and safe, everyone, or you could go missing. Always have awareness of your surroundings out there!
When I lived in Idaho up in the hill there was an accident in 2017 and it involved a hair big foot chasing a deer. It ran out in front of this car on a snowy day. The police verified all the markings. It was on the news local channel.
Oh my goodness, that was a gripping story .. so was the one last week. I have some friends coming for dinner and I will delight them with your tale telling. Keep hiking and safe. And I am so happy your hemisphere is in Fall as that means it is warming up beautifully down here in the South. Love my Monday story time with BCC!
You’re such an amazing storyteller!! Just found you and definitely my favorite on RUclips. I love the setting, your beers, and how you tell the stories is so interactive. Thank you! ❤
Wow, that's gotta be one of the scariest encounters of all your stories! I don't think I would ever want to go camping in the middle of a forest! If anything, it would have to be in a camping ground where there's other campers around - but then, one never knows what they are up to... Is there actually a difference between all the different beers that you find, Chris? The cans sure look beautiful, you should collect them.
I am from the UK. Although we do have forests and woods we are not that far from any civilisation as we are a small island. Hearing your stories scares the crap out of me.
This story was one of the creepiest you've told. I also don't fully believe in stuff like this, but it sure is intriguing. Guess I'd have to experience something to believe, which I hope doesn't happen, lol. Stay safe out there 🙂✌️
Well Jere this sounds like a bigfoot critter to me and I will confirm they are real. I live in Alaska and work a few hours a week at a remote Dam. These bastards always harass me. They like to throw basketball sized rocks into the water splashing me. Just have to give it right back to them. I will run at them and yell and same time fire off rounds into the treeline. They less likely to bother me for a few weeks after
I have got my hubby hooked on your videos. He frequently says, "Do you have any of those stories to listen to?" We both love your story telling! Thanks! 😊
@@cherylsims5636 wow sucks to hear that, would love to hear some stories. Speaking of Alaska, i just picked up my second Ruger super redhawk Alaskan in 454 casull.
That was a shocker! Didn't expect that. You sure can't think it was an animal bc they can't do that, and not people bc of the sounds and strength needed.
Love these, Chris. Appreciate you doing this. I like to play them while I am doing tasks that don't require a lot of thought (so I can pay attention). Really love the audio and all the familiar sounds of camping and/or hiking. It puts me outside with you. Love the stories, although the vids are great regardless of the stories. Just the vibe you capture is so... familiar and beloved. I like that you are prepared and feature gear, but also that you don't have the life planned out of you adventures - there's improvising and spontaneity, which are familiar aspects of being out there. Also... Man, you sure make a beer sound tasty, wherever you've got that mic placed! Enjoy the cooking, too. All the little set up details are great. Thanks again!
Chris you reach out not only to viewers in US but thousands of miles away in different continents. I , in India can sleep only after watching one of your soothing videos. Thank you. 🙏
Oh my gosh Chris, such a terrifying encounter for that couple. And then for you , to be out there after dark sharing this story, just incredibly brave man you are. Thank you for the best stories ever told! Be safe and keep 🥾.
Good story. I met someone who related a similar story but was camping for remote work duties. Upon return her boss asked how it went. He related he had had an encounter in his RV in that area previously! Best 7 minute story told in only 20 min :)
Well I am becky you got a LONGGG name. This sounds like a bigfoot critter to me. These bastards harass me on event as well. I live in Alaska and work a few hours a week at a remote dam. They like to throw basketball sized rocks into the water splashing me. You just have to give it right back to them. I will run at and yell at them all the time firing off rounds into the treeline there at. They will leave me alone for a while
They heard the Sierra Sounds, that's frightening but cool! I'm a new viewer, I love the way your stories are told, so up close and personal, like we're all sitting around a campfire. Thank you! 😊
There are some very strange things that go on in & around Yosemite. ...if that area had not been where this couple was, I may of been skeptical but there,.....I believe it!!!And BTW you are BRAVE OUT THERE BY YOURSELF!!!!!Great Story!!!
Yet again you amazingly deliver the best campfire story telling out there. Your content is amazing. Continue to brave the great outdoors and be safe out there Chris. Look forward to the next episode.
@@basecampchrisYes. A linguistic worked with this. He said they borrowed some words from Spanish and some of the Indian languages. They also talk while they’re breathing *in* as well as out.
❤Here’s to Chris❤ One of the bravest people ever seen on the series of tubes. Yosemite has a very high concentration of missing hikers (aka: Gigantopithicus snacks). Outdoorsy types are a kind of deviled egg for Sasquatch.
Which makes you a greasy pancake on the road. Taken by the mysterious cryptid known only as the freeway which kills 1.4 million worldwide per year. As far as this high concentration you are talking about you might want to consider the fact that Yosemite averages 20,000 visitors per DAY. I live an hour from the park and I’ve known about missing people before it was fashionable. Paulides work is very interesting but he doesn’t get everything right by a long shot. I’ve never seen him retract anything. My point is you are more likely to be a pancake than a a deviled egg.
Weird thing to say. I live near Yosemite National Park. I've heard and felt out of the ordinary things. After I transfer from my community college I plan to get into an intern program within the Park soon and yeah it's rather scary because it's no new thing that many go missing and horrible things happen deep inside the woods. Honestly I'm willing to investigate myself what's actually happening within the Sierra if time and fate allows it.
@@firstnamelastnamethirdname I wish you the best of luck. See David Paulides. specifically In regards to folks missing in Yosemite & the park service throwing obstacles in his way.
Thank you for sharing at the end the way you did. Something is out there , who knows what it is but everybody can’t be lying and I love the way you say you believe in people. Bless you!
Love your channel and format! You deserve much success for creating such a unique niche channel. Also, please bring your parents back! Loved them and would love to see your brother on your channel to tell a story if he is available 😊
I love to camp. Wish I had a camper. I am 70. Hard to get around no one to go with. I am going to sell all my stuff at a yard sale since I am not using it. When my husband was alive we went quite a bit. I am a new subscriber.
The west is so beautiful. I live in New England, which is beautiful this time of year too. But, it's short lived. In a few weeks the clouds roll in with rain then snow won't see it again till January when it becomes bitter cold.
Found this video while looking for a different creepy story. Loved this tale and your format is different and awesome. Liked and subbed based on this video! Look forward to going through your playlist. This is the perfect time of the year for it thank you for the post.
@Ken'NJudy the loss of a child is unbearable and painful, but it's the fond memories that has a purpose. The flames staying lit and moving forward because tomorrow's sun will rise again. @Chris Many many thanks for bringing us stories to share. Be safe, be alert, and God Bless. - Cheers mate 🍻!
Good morning from Ireland! I have watched way too many horror movies and documentaries about people who vanish in National parks, that I ain't ever hiking or camping🙈The most beautiful places in the world I'm so sorry that they lost their son. I have an 18 year old son and the pain of that loss has to be so unbearable💔⚘🌻💚🇨🇮🇨🇮Great story telling! I'm hanging on every word!!
Great story tonight Chris! I'm with you. I'm not sure if I 'believe' but what I find interesting are the all the consistencies that seem to run throughout all of these stories. Either thousands of people are encountering the same thing out there, or they're all part of the same conspiracy.... 🤷♂
Back in the late 70's, we went to Oregon to visit my sister and on the way back we stopped at Crater Lake. Mom didn't want to stay and wait until morning for the store to open so we started back to San Jose. It was a little after midnight. Mom and my sister were asleep. My daughter was awake sitting in the back seat of the van when we saw something on the side of the road. We didn't know what it was but when it crossed the road behind us, with the tail lights we saw him tall and hairy. He was taller than our 72 Ford van. Thank God he didn't cross in front of us even though we weren't going fast. The shock didn't hit us until later. Imagine if he would have been violent?
I must be missing something. We would have been long gone immediately. Fastest trip to Walmart parking lot in history. Really?! "Tried to get some sleep?!!" Just found your channel. Am binging on a drizzly Sunday. Thank you, stay safe.
I think Chris got teary when mentioning that the couple had lost their son. I recently lost my son. The pain is undescribable :( Thank you for the stories Chris. 💜
I'm sorry for your loss. May you be comforted. Jesus loves you and everyone. 🙏💝🌹
Sorry for your loss. We lost our 20 year old granddaughter recently
I'm sorry for your loss 🙏
Thank you all for your words of comfort. I send my condolences as well to all who lost a child or loved ones. :(
Best wishes.
There really is no point in lying about it. My husband and I stopped telling our stories years ago cuz people just don't believe, or even if they go along with it, that look in their eyes gives it away. It's nice to find a place online where a neat person like you can tell other people's stories, and those of us who have them can feel a little more valid lol.
I've never saw one but I believe. I work at a state park and there have been sightings here. In fact there was a crew came and filmed and got the story. I've heard people come here and search for Bigfoot. I pray I never see one. I think I would panic. Well anyway you know what u saw so if people don't believe you that's their problem.lol
I believe please don’t stop talking not everybody is ignorance those people who don’t believe let them go first we have a world to save
You and your husband need to stop making up stories
Please, stop making up tales.
Hey, it’s a big, wild planet out there and it’d be hubris to think us humans are the only type of our species here. I hope who or whatever they are that they continue to find a way to survive. Nature has developed them for a reason, just like we have been. Stay safe, enjoy your adventures and Chris thank you for sharing them!
I’ll need to send you my story. I was a park ranger.
Bro start a channel and tell your story I'll subscribe rn
Had a cousin who was a ranger in the Wenatchee national forest, you could never tell if he was kidding or not
My grandfather was a Park Ranger here in Utah until he had a stroke gone over 3 decades now...🌲👣👣👣🌲
You should..bet you have lots to share..
@@markbirchette8740 my condolences for your grandfather this is why the rangers that are still here should share their experiences
I randomly picked your story so I could listen to it while I drove down highway 44 west through Central Missouri and just about the same time you said Ken and Judy were from Joplin, I passed a road sign that read Joplin 228 miles. What a coincidence. I'm glad they're okay. Their experience kept me awake and your storytelling kept me engaged all the way to my driveway. Thanks
You know, I grew up running round in a cab over RV with my family, we were always out and about on weekends and took trips whenever we could. We had some mighty strange things happen to us too. Some of it could have been caused by humans, but having things thrown at the camper, or having it rocked from side to side when there’s no wind and your out in the middle of nowhere, is super strange. My dad was a big ol’ Marine, and he would not tangle with it, and did not want to talk about it. We would look at each other and just stay quiet. Odd things would also happen to us in the areas around Fort Bragg, Russian River, and Cloverdale, before they were built up - gold areas. I remember that one day we woke up and as usual my brother and I got up early to run around outside and something had left small fish in a straight line along our back bumper. The thing is that this back bumper had an end that opened so that you could store your fishing poles in it. It’s as though something knew what we wanted and tried to give it to us.
That’s an awesome story!!….have you ever submitted some of your stories?
Whoa
Elizabeth, this is a great intro into what sounds to be an excellent story. You should develop it further if You haven't already. If You haven't written alot before You can start it as a childrens story to get the body of the story out then tweak it into a longer more mature intricate form from there. This has been My personal trick in writing and it works like a gem. 💎
I'd LoVE to hear more!
Woah, that IS a positive encounter at least. Maybe wanted to make non eating friend ?
This is one of the reasons why I stick with 5th wheel RVs. The height of the bedroom prevents an average height person from casually looking into your bedroom. In this case though, it probably wouldn't have mattered because of this creature's height. This is also why I'm always well armed when I'm RVing.
I know whatvelse prevents an average person looking in the window...a 357 fired into their forehead when they do... I guarantee they'll never do it again
Close the curtains?
@@james00711 I guess it's a matter of opinion but I'll agree with him if I'm in the middle of nowhere and you peek in my window that's a perfect fine reason. The way I see it is are you retarded? Someone doing that is looking for trouble
@@youtube.silenced.m Exactly ! Especially if you have those BRI saboted slugs, they will kill a 1500 polar bear
They may be tall but you can’t just jump into the drivers seat and take off, you have to get out of the fifth wheel and try to get to your truck door. Think about that.
Great story! I would’ve drove off as soon as I heard them walk away. I wouldn’t get a minute of sleep if I stayed in that same location.
You never know Chris, someday you may be telling us a story and a bigfoot will come sit down beside you to listen!! Lol.
lol ...imagine at the end of the story he sees all bunch of them around him listen...bigfoot, dogman, goatman and some lizard ppl
hahahaha
He’s not that deep in the woods to see a SABE. Likely squirrels 🐿 crows & people more like it. He’s not STEVE ISDAHL 👍🏽😂😂😂😂
OMG, I hope not !!!!!
And make sure you have a lot of jack links beef jerky 😏
I discovered this channel a month or two ago, and LOVE it. Not that it has anything to do with what I'm about to say. I am an old guy now. I'm sixty five and just retired Friday, officially anyhow. I won't get long winded. I have always loved the outdoors but never had the gumption or courage of Chris here, but I was blessed to have two friends - brothers - who grew up on my street as a kid who were avid outdoors guys due to their Father being from Greece, first generation and a real man's man, and they had property in the Allegheny Forrest and Park area in Southern New York State. We spend many a weekend and several single weeks in their secluded cabin area within the park for years growing up. Long story short, THEY were the woodsmen and I was the tag along, but in 1977 I and the two brothers who were one and two years, respectively, younger than me, took a bus trip across country to visit Yellowstone in Wyoming and Montana and then Glacier National Park in Northern Montana. Really old school way of traveling and with literally fifty dollars in my pocket. Yep, old. We were gone about a month and a half, and we hitchhiked hundreds of miles and backpacked MOST of the time in the back country. We had no firearm. Nothing. We encountered a bear one night (thankfully a black bear) and once or twice a group of "questionable people" who were of concern to us but nothing came of it. Keep in mind, we were in a few instances in situations where we didn't really see people for days at a time, and we were OUT there before cell phones or anything, and if something did arise you were miles and miles from any help. The point I'm trying to make is, these days, and even fifteen years or twenty years ago and farther out, I'd NEVER go out to a similar place without a firearm or two, at least. At LEAST. I live in Cleveland and it's very dangerous and we have constitutional carry now, thank the Lord, but even without I have my CC and don't go anywhere without any type of protection and I don't think that's an overreach at all, especially if you're dozens or more miles away from help or assistance. So, forgive the long post; regulations or not, always bring a firearm of suitable caliber to your camping destination and frankly, I'm surprised these people had nothing with them for protection. Kind of foolhardy in my estimation.
@dyates6380-I totally agree! I too RV in remote places, boondock camping & alone. But never w/out plenty of guns. Fortunately I've never had anything happen, but I'd feel like fighting back in a case like this one. Seems like a lot more weird stuff is going on now than years ago. Stay safe!
You’re awfully Brave Chris sharing these scary stories while sitting/camping alone in the dark lol🌙
I was thinking the same thing!
He sure is!! 😵
Yeah I'm not sure I would be as brave I don't mind being in the woods even at night but the telling the scary stories might give me pause.
I wouldn’t go out there like that without a company of marines or rangers.
Does he think he is Art Bell? I've lived in this area all my life,there's things we don't talk about. This story is bullshit Totally, heard camp fire stories many times. This guy needs to go into comedy
I am in Florida , I've seen two , up close , but no matter how many times i tell the experience some will believe , some won't . I've never really cared if they believed or not , I was with two other people , they experienced the same thing and that's good enough .
I'm in Fl as well, north of Orlando. What area did you see them? I don't know what my wife and I would do if we spotted one 😲😀
I’m in the Western most part of the Florida Panhandle where we have a lot of forest land and have never seen anything but others have. Where are you at in Florida?
What state are you in? I'm in Mississippi. I quit counting at 13 I saw.there are many more but I'm kinda used to it
Well leslievey I will confirm Bigfoots are real. I live in Alaska and those bastards give me trouble on event. I work a few hours a week at a remote dam and they like to throw basketball sized rocks into the water splashing me. You just have to give it right back to them. I will run at them yell and fire rounds into the treeline. The much less likely not to annoy me for a while after
That’s because some people are afraid to believe.
You tell the BEST stories! The way you tell them is just as good as the stories themselves. My Grandpa told good stories to I miss him. He built an off grid cabin in Nelson County VA. Land locked with the George Washington National forest and within walking distance with the Appalachian trail. I'm 49 years old been in the mountains all my life. I'm a logger / truck driver and I stay out for about 2 weeks at a time so I sleep in the woods etc. I've seen and heard things from time to time myself. Nobody is in the woods more than me. Keep the stories coming and thanks for taking the time to provide others these campfire stories. I miss my Grandpa, but it helps to watch your videos - thanks, your friend Buster Frank
A friend and I were tent camping in Rocky Mountain National park in August of 2015. At breakfast I told my friend I heard something bumping into stuff during the night. He acted like I was hallucinating or crazy. After breakfast, a park ranger drove up and said we had to leave, there was a grizzly in the campground. I lived in an area with black bears, but grizzlies are a different bear. Last time I was in Yosemite Hertz didn't have the sub-compact I reserved and "upgraded " us to a full size Dodge Polaris. It looked so much like a cop car other cops would wave at us and the gate guards at Yosemite mistook us for a state vehicle and let us into Yosemite without paying. I retired to Thailand, we have wild elephants, forget about bears!
This happened a long time ago to my husband and me and our few children that we had at the time in the '70s.
We had rented a rustic cabin in the Poconos. I think it was there, as we were from New York and we knew that we could find beautiful places in Pennsylvania for vacationing if one wanted to just rough it.
So we rented it for a weekend or whatever. Maybe more days, and the kids were between the ages of 5 snd 7 years old.
This place had a nice pond with chairs as well, set up, and I remember the dragonflies would light on you with pretty multi-colored wings, and it was just very peaceful and pleasant, which I think everybody NEEDS from time to time for sure.
Also if I remember, one could do some fishing, which my husband absolutely loved to do
The first couple of nights were fine and totally normal.
We thoroughly enjoyed the serene beauty of the forest around us and the lovely lake, though.
About the third night though we had just locked the screen door leaving the main door open, because it was rather warm out and we wanted to get a breeze in the place.
Well we left the next day...
Thank GOODNESS the lock was ON the screen because around IN the dead of night someone pulled the screen twice making it really loud and I'm glad that they lock HELD!!
I remember I was just FROZEN in fear. I couldn't even move. Of course we didn't sleep the rest of the night and I think my husband had the courage finally to go over and just slam the front door shut and lock it.
As I said we left the next day and we told the proprietor what had happened. I didn't go into the office, that was a decent distance away from the cabins.
I assume they gave my husband a refund.
But we have no idea what it WAS, and we may never know what it was.
And I just hate to think of the screen door not holding with the lock.
Who knows WHAT was on the other side of that screen.
Of course with our minds we try to rationalize everything, and I thought maybe it could have been the proprietor of the place checking the cabins in the night (?) and he noticed that we just had the screen door open only, and maybe he was going to open it and close the main door quietly just to keep us safer for whatever reason.(?) But I doubt that THAT'S what it was really.
I think when the screen door was pulled it made this banging sound really loud waking us up, and whoever was on the other side might have thought maybe they have guns or something, and I better run for my life because now I know that they are probably AWAKE.
There's been too many cases. I think of people seeing these creatures called Bigfoot, and NOW we have these ones reported that look like a large wolf with long fangs and yellow eyes.
I just pray for everyone's SAFETY.
I know how scared out of our minds we were that night when this happened, and I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone else, Especially with young children.
We've never had anything happen again, and this was so long ago, and I'm not that far from 80 now... and my husband's passed away 10 years.
But life goes on and it's interesting that now I live in the Poconos with my lovely daughter, and we've been here going on 5 years. It's absolutely beautiful and very peaceful
The only occurrences that cause any kind of caution are when the bears come around and we have to take the bird feeders in at night.
Beyond that, just nothing. So I'm so very, very grateful that we've been safe.
It doesn't hurt to have the three dogs we own either!😇👌
Remember, humans are the most dangerous animal we have to fear. Knowing homes/vacation rentals in a mountain area, a serial killer will stalk humans like animals, silently, with deadly intent until they make an attempt. Always be aware when you vacation anywhere. We want to get away, have fun , relax, but be aware. Don’t ever leave doors unlocked! Sad but true. When you’ve had sisters badly harmed by an unseen male predator you never feel completely safe again, and remain very aware that this happens more than we know but never expect it will happen to you!
BE ARMED WHEN TRAVELING. Many have gone missing in the Strawberry/Dardanelles area of hwy108 in Tuolomne County California. Campers and travelers, with their belongings left behind! Just miles due west from here on hwy108 is the small town of Sonora you must pass thru as you travel east. Serial killer Charles Ng and Leonard Lake kept a torture house of horror here killing dozens! Serial killer Carrie Stayner hunted and killed just south of here in Groveland on hwy132/120 and possibly in Yosemite National Park! Serial killer Loren Herzog and Wesley Shermantine killed 72 women and buried them on his father’s ranch north of hwy108 on hwy104 in Calaveras County California! PLEASE, remember STRANGER DANGER when traveling, especially in isolated rural foothills and mountains!!
Never encountered one, even in passing. But my grandfather did, twice... and he was not one to "tell tall tales". He was a trucker all his life, and a good portion of it was driving logging trucks up and down the dirt trails to logging camps to pick up the harvests, which is where he saw "sasquatch" or whatever one wants to call it. His rig was too big for them to mess with, and he was too interested in just getting away and on with his job to mess with them, so they were both fleeting encounters... but given his nature and personality, well, I have little choice but to believe him.
The same thing happen to a guy that my dad knows , he goes to my dads church. .it happen in the sierra by West Point ca . His trailer got lifted up a couple feet and drop by back down while he was sleeping around 3 am waiting for the next day hunt. He got out of the trailer and fire couple rounds in the air sending whatever it was scattering. He wasn’t scare and still slept through the night . Next morning he left early morning while it was still pitch black to get a head start up the logging trail. He said as he was only couple hundred feet away from his trailer whatever lifted his trailer that night was standing behind a tree growling , barking and howling at him … it was also throwing rocks and tree Limbs at him .. he got spook, and aim his rifle at it not firing and slowly back away . He then took off running back to his trailer and went home …
I'm from alberta canada 🇨🇦 and I love hearing your stories. Thank you for what you do.
Are you a liberals Canadian
Me too!
@@jerryrice8507 Alberta is generally a conservative province of Canada 🇨🇦
@@jerryrice8507 we call liberals a cancer in western canada .
I'm from Alberta as well. Back in the mid 70's my younger brother swears he saw a sasquatch, during a winter storm, when they were coming back from Nordegg. My brother isn't the type to make up stories so I tend to believe there is such a thing.
We live in the Pac NW and my oldest son camps ALOT. One of his trips, he was off trail, camping with his GF, sitting by the waters edge, and across the river they started hearing wood knocks and grunts. After dusk had passed, and dark started to really settle in, rocks started to fly across the river to my sons campsite. Easily 30-40 ft. Makes no sense! They scramble into the tent and my son fired off his small caliber rifle a few times and everything went still.
They sat up till quite late, finally fell asleep. And about 3am the same nonsense starts, wood knocks, rocks flying across the river, hoots……again my son fires off his rifle and yells. Silence.
Nothing more that night. The next morning as soon as it got light they packed up and beat feet!
Great campfire story as always. Wow with that kind of aggression thank goodness they were in an RV and not a tent 😱
That's not aggression. They were playing around like kids also probably smelled kitchen activity. Something strong enough to pick up an RV isn't gonna be stopped by that paper thin aluminum RV skin.
@@paxwallace8324 I completely agree with you 100%. With a beast powerful enough to lift a RV, it would be easy peasy for it to tear into the RV. Thankfully that didn’t happen, although it was still a very scary story.
They had FREAKING KEYS to drive away for Pete's Sake.
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism yeah that's where I noped out as well. As if you'd just go to sleep again and not get the feck out of there.
@@CannabrannaLammer, I would stay. Especially if I had camping gear left outside. I would want to retrieve it before I left, but probably not until daylight anyway.
I had an RV for a few years after I retired and would never have stayed parked somewhere that I felt uncomfortable. I was traveling HWY 20 to Idaho across Eastern Oregon in a very remote area. It was late at night and I came across a remote rest area in the high desert in the middle of nowhere. I was the only one parked there, and there were a few lights on, but not too bright. About an hour after I laid down pebbles started bouncing off the RV a few at a time. So I got up and looked out and didn't see any other vehicles and it's all very flat, high desert out there. I then went out and looked around and saw nothing anywhere. So I went back in an was going to lay back down and small pebbles bounced off my vehicle again. Not one to hang out, with high strangeness going on, I jumped in the RV seat and drove on down the road. I knew there was another, more developed and used, rest stop closer to Ontario, OR, about an hour away, so drove there and spent the rest of the night there. I worked and lived in Yosemite for a few years and also lived a few in Oakhurst, CA in the heart of the Sierra National forest, a really spectacular National Forest. Never had anything weird happen while living and exploring both places.
We drove through that hwy 20 area and stopped at a potty last Sept. It was already cold, and nobody was around. I could see it being a bit creepy! The rest stop also had an old useable water pump. Pretty cool! I've also lived in Oakhurst, Yosemite, and Mariposa. I can imagine that these people might have encountered a bear, using their r.v. as a scratching post. Not only are they big, hairy, and grumpy, but they can also be vocal, sounding kind of like a cranky deep voiced man, lol.
I treasure these stories, your storytelling, the magical outdoor settings, and you as a person Chris. Thank you immensely.
If u like these stories you should check out Dark waters and sasquatch Chronicles by Vic cundiff. There's a lot of good podcasts that have great camping stories.
@@vicki3671 Thank you will do!! 😊
Thank you ! I’ve only been listening to your channel for two days but I’ve already devoured about 8 stories . Im hooked . You narrate well. I like your personality and that you keep it pg and dont swear a lot. Plus plus plus ! You get out in nature and sit alone in the dark with a lamp telling terrifyingly scary stories that alone would creep anyone out ! I hope you never encounter a cryptid or animal attack !
I love these stories, Chris. I haven’t camped in quite a few years! Do you ever get scared as you’re telling the stories? I know I would! 😮
I ended up in California in the spring of 2022, I will save the back story for time.
However, I find myself on a 80 acre old Chinese hemp farm in a valley called Lucerne Valley in San Bernardino county.
This property was loaded with huge, half wind eaten, broken down green houses. There were lots of campers, trailers and rv's on property also. This was my reason for being there. I got a hook up to stay at this place for free, while I figure things out.
Apart from myself, there was only one person who was doing security, since there were still some valuable equipments there. I got a nice 40ft. Cold storage trailer, customized to a 2 bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette. Quite comfortable. I found myself two beautiful stray puppies shortly after I got there. About 3 months after I got there, I went in the end of May, and 3 months later in August, my pups grow really fast, but they were still only about 4 months old, and for some reason they didn't bark and they were really scared of everything. If a Ravin flys too close or another stray dog wonders on the property, they would run straight to my feet and try to hide between them. But most of all, they fear the sounds of coyotes.At this time, they sleeping indoors and I would keep the door unlocked so they could open it up with their paws and go to do their business outside. But after a few petty thefts on the property, I didn't feel so secure anymore, so I locked the door. Next morning, I didn't like what I saw on the floor, so the following night I let them sleep outside. I must let you know, they sleep outside all the time, since it was high summer, and outside was often cooler at night than inside, they like to hang out on the steps, but they always have the option to come inside when they want, as long as the door is unlocked. But now that I locked it, they were not happy. I also want them to be brave dogs, and I think that if they stayed outside, that would help, it didn't.
I am not the guy who gets scared of nothing. I am not big, I am not bad, never served, not a fighter, never been to jail, not religious and don't believe in crypto-zoology, but love the stories. I am , however, very cautious of people and try to stay away from most people. As for the wild and wildlife, I am totally at peace and have no fear. when the coyotes howl at nights, if it's close, I grabbed my night light and go investigate. If I hear owls, I want to see them.
My dogs, if they could talk, would beg me please not to go, I could tell in their behavior, but they would faithfully follow me despite them being scared, I was so funny to me.
However, one night, they were outside, the door was locked when they started frantically trying to break the door open! I could hear sounds coming from one of the green houses that was near to my trailer.
Is sounds like some animal was in big trouble. Almost like a wolf getting caught in a snare, like I saw on some RUclips videos. I could hear ripping and clawing and grunting and panting, but whatever it was it definitely sounds like a dog getting caught in something. I grabbed my light and machete and open the door, my dogs flew past my foot, right behind the sofa. I went out and shine the light at the green house, the sound stopped. I went to the door and sweep the light inside, looking for eyeshlne, nothing. My puppies joined now, shaking like Scooby Doo. I stepped inside and search every inch of that greenhouse and find nothing!
I said whatever it was, it must have left. The thing is, not even 10 minutes after I went back in, the sound came back again! Even when I stand at my door and look over at the green house, I could see it shaking as if being torn apart. But if I shine the light or went too close, the sounds stopped. I didn't figure out what it was and is now my biggest mystery. I didn't feel afraid or felt like my life was in danger, but I am very disappointed that I didn't get to see the animal.
I love these stories. We can't be the only beings living on this planet. And the mountains in the US must hold secrets and places where something could live. Keep hiking. Lots of respect and love. From the 🇬🇧 ✌🏽
The mountains of usa 🇺🇸 are inhabitant by native American spirits that don't want foreigners trespassing their sacred lands and mountains
Sunday nights don’t feel complete without a story in the woods from you Chris. Thanks for another good one!
One thing I’d love to see more of is your hikes back in the dark post-story. No matter how long or short they are they add so much to the mood… as a viewer I almost feel the need to urge you to hurry up just in case! Lol
+1 to this comment, great idea post story walk 🔥
Agreed.
Hey bro if you are the pope blow me a couple hundred thousand would you that would be cool you do have it don't you I know it's just the name I'm just thinking that new fifth wheel and new four wheeler yeah.
Great video. There is many stories about strange happenings and disappearances in the back country in multiple countries. Some locations have clusters. They are part of a series called Missing 411. Many are never found, if people are found they have no memory of the activities during the disappearance time, many children are found in areas that are impossible to get to. Many are found without shoes and have perfectly clean undamaged feet. My uncle was a interstate truck driver for General Motors. He was once followed by a massive orange orb or ball object on the Nullarbor Plains outback Australia.
Yup UFOs have some role in people abduction for sure. Here in Alaska some 2,000 go missing every year.
Love listening to your stories Chris! I also have spent a lot of time exploring the forests alone. Most of the time I am very comfortable and confident. I have had a few weird experiences where I would have my hair stand up or unexplained feelings of uneasiness. I also had an experience about 15 years ago that convinced me that Sasquatch is real. Again, really enjoy hanging out with you and your stories.
@ Kelly I would absolutely love to read about some of your experiences, particularly, your Bigfoot experience, if you would be willing to type out what happened! I always love hearing about these types of experiences!!!

@@dogmomma4019 Well Dogmom I can tell you bigfoots can be very annoying. I live in Alaska and work a few hours a week at a remote Dam. Those bastards give me trouble on event. They like to throw basketball sized rocks into the water and splash me! You just have to give it right back to them. I run and yell in their direction while firing fire off rounds into the treeline. They much less likely to cause problems next several times
@@cherylsims5636 thank you
Telling such stories - and still daring being out alone in the wilderness!
It could be the beer
Great camp fire stories. Will watch more! Thanks and stay safe!
Nice to see you Chris. Thank you for taking the time
They were experiencing a Sasquatch and they can feel your fear. They talk to you telepathy and in your dreams. I used to live with 9 in Ohio backwoods cabin and they got so bad that I sold my cabin. They won't hurt you unless you are shooting at them. I know alot about Sasquatch or Bigfoot
1 of the best channels on RUclips. Wish you did 5 videos a week
Too many people have seen and experienced Big Foot for it not to be true. Your last short by Paul Freeman Ep. 3 had a very good picture of a creature walking in the forest. I'm with you and the way you, Chris, are thinking. Thanks for your stories. 😊
Yes. We've been experiencing them for a year and a half since we bought this property. I don't think this tribe means any harm but it's scary having homeless people, or whatever they are, roaming around at night while you're sleeping...I don't care who they are. We've heard it all, whistling, whooping, wooing, screaming, banging, "ninja" talk, throwing pebbles and acorns, tree knocks...a couple of nights ago, on the side of the house...all of it. I wish they just would go away. It's creepy knowing they're watching. I sent our story to Steve Isdahl of The Facts How to Hunt channel here on this platform but it's ongoing and I got sick of sending updates...it is what it is.
@@-OBELUS- Have you contacted Sasquatch Chronicles? There's just something about hearing the people tell their own story.
32 years on our prop. They are here.
@@Gigi30107 No I haven't. I posted it in the comments of The Facts by How to Hunt channel as well. That was enough. It was also good to hear there so many people tell their stories (some clearly BS) but enough real experiences to not feel alone.
Thank you for being another person that steps up and admits it. It's validating.
If you haven't already you might look at the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch channel. The guy is a native Alaskan tribal council member and he has many friends and relations that have experienced these creatures.
I'd like to hear your experiences as well. 32 years would be a book.
@@Gigi30107 One the best places is the ""HOWTOHUNT"" channel here on youtube. The fellow Steve is a professional Hunter and reads encounter storys from folks all over.
Hi pb. This sounds like a Bigfoot critter to me and hell yes I will confirm they are real. I live in Alaska and work a few hours a week at a remote Dam. Them bastards like to harass me. They will throw basketball sized rocks into the water splashing me. Just have to give it right back to them. I run at and yell at them while same time firing off rounds into the treeline. They tend to leave me alone for a few weeks after.
I’m happy to hear that they kept RVing . What a story! Thank you very much Chris
This happened a very short time after the 2011 Joplin Missouri massive Tornado so I imagine that is why that couple left. How horrifying to have this attack after their town gets ripped to shreds and losing their son!
It's scary hearing these experences while I'm in my house but I admire ur boldness in coming out in d dark with only d 2 lanterns n a jug of Bèer .Thanks for sharing n keep it up.All d best.
Thanks for this one. This was frightening! I have never seen bigfoot myself, but I don't dispute that people see what they see. Keep the stories coming!
That was a scary story. I think they were quite brave staying the night. I think I'd have cleared out right then. Thanks for a brilliant story & for telling it so well.
OMG, your story telling just has me on the edge!!! I can't imagine experiencing this - I would not be the same after an encounter like this!!
Hey morgan. This sure sounds like a Bigfoot critter to me. These bastards like to harass me on event as well. I live in Alaska and work a few hours a week at a remote dam. They like to throw basketball size rocks into water splashing me. All you have to do is give it right back to them. I run at and yell while firing off rounds into the treeline there at. They will leave me alone for a while
Thank you for the great stories. As a van lifer I am hesitant about dispersed or wild "camping" . I mounted solar motion detectoe lights on the side of my van where the sliding door I located. I have camped in remote places in national forests. The lights help when I want to open the sliding door to allow fresh air into the van. However, mounting the lights I opened the door once to only have a huge bear sniffing through my camp site. I had barbecued steaks, potatoes and ears of corn earlier. Another incident involved a skunk. So, the lights will remain and I will mount more on the other side and one in front, one in the rear of the van.
The sound effects in your storytelling is awesome.👍
Wonderful story telling sir. Was reminded of my English teacher.
What a riviting story. This really spooked me out. I think it’s because you tell the story in such a way that you actually felt you were there! You’re Ace Chris.
I fully agree, his story telling talent is out of this world!
I really like the sound effects that you add appropriate times. You are very brave to go into the woods alone and talk to us about these frightening encounters. Stay safe out there and God Bless 🙏🏽
Thank you Chris!!!
I gotta say, I would be FREAKED out, telling these stories.....then having to walk out in the dark!!
I've watched nearly all of your videos, and I've seen you also stay in tents.....or your little pop-up.......the more stories I hear......the more it freaks me out to think about what lurks in the wilderness!
I enjoy these videos. I like the stories. With 1.5 thousand comments here on one video you probably won't see this. But, I figured I'd leave a comment in support of what you do.
Good story, I definitely would have left immediately. thanks for sharing and take care!😎
Whoa! That was an encounter with some very strong beast creatures! Because you mentioned that there was a dialogue between the creatures, I suspect they were a type of sasquatch. Stay away from their territory, you can travel anywhere, they can not. Respect their power. Had either one of them walked outside, that would have been the end of that couple in the RV. Stay inside and just drive off!! Don't shoot them and don't go out to confront them. They are stronger than you! You're not bad. I will click like. You're easy on the eye and the ear, Base Camp Chris. Carry on, but stay aware and safe, everyone, or you could go missing. Always have awareness of your surroundings out there!
Love these Stories man! Appreciate the work you put in to em.
Your sound effects are really trippy. Good job you scared me and right before bedtime . Lol
Awesome...Good Night!
I really enjoy your stories, I watched your stealth camp at the drive in movies lastnight👍 from New Zealand 🇳🇿👋
When I lived in Idaho up in the hill there was an accident in 2017 and it involved a hair big foot chasing a deer. It ran out in front of this car on a snowy day. The police verified all the markings. It was on the news local channel.
Your smile and enthusiasm just makes my day Chris. Loved the video, scary stuff. Stay safe out there! ✌️
Thank you Chris for these superb stories, so simply but beautifully delivered. The utter sincerity comes through in abundance.
B.c.c has good content glad he is posting more stories and in the elements while telling them
Oh my goodness, that was a gripping story .. so was the one last week. I have some friends coming for dinner and I will delight them with your tale telling. Keep hiking and safe. And I am so happy your hemisphere is in Fall as that means it is warming up beautifully down here in the South. Love my Monday story time with BCC!
I’m a big fan here Chris,more power,and look after yourself
You’re such an amazing storyteller!! Just found you and definitely my favorite on RUclips. I love the setting, your beers, and how you tell the stories is so interactive. Thank you! ❤
Thanks Courtney! C🌲🍺🐻
Wow, that's gotta be one of the scariest encounters of all your stories! I don't think I would ever want to go camping in the middle of a forest! If anything, it would have to be in a camping ground where there's other campers around - but then, one never knows what they are up to...
Is there actually a difference between all the different beers that you find, Chris? The cans sure look beautiful, you should collect them.
😊
You're a brave man to tell these scary stories whilst sitting in the wilderness alone in the dark.
I am from the UK. Although we do have forests and woods we are not that far from any civilisation as we are a small island. Hearing your stories scares the crap out of me.
This story was one of the creepiest you've told. I also don't fully believe in stuff like this, but it sure is intriguing. Guess I'd have to experience something to believe, which I hope doesn't happen, lol. Stay safe out there 🙂✌️
I was like you once..I didn't believe ...until ..it happened to me!!! And I am a wildlife biologist!!!!
@@Melsincatuation what happenned?
@PK i had a couple Ghost-like experiences in my life.
Well Jere this sounds like a bigfoot critter to me and I will confirm they are real. I live in Alaska and work a few hours a week at a remote Dam. These bastards always harass me. They like to throw basketball sized rocks into the water splashing me. Just have to give it right back to them. I will run at them and yell and same time fire off rounds into the treeline.

I have got my hubby hooked on your videos. He frequently says, "Do you have any of those stories to listen to?" We both love your story telling! Thanks! 😊
Absolutely amazing story! Thank you once again Chris!
I can’t wait for the next one. Love and love the Sasquatch stories!!
Stay safe!
Well 2 rip not much to love about sasquatch storys, which the critter here definity was. Them bastards give me trouble here in Alaska on event
@@cherylsims5636 wow sucks to hear that, would love to hear some stories. Speaking of Alaska, i just picked up my second Ruger super redhawk Alaskan in 454 casull.
That was a shocker! Didn't expect that. You sure can't think it was an animal bc they can't do that, and not people bc of the sounds and strength needed.
Great video! Thanks for the story. I really enjoy this channel. Love how you get out in the woods at night to tell a good story.
There are a lot of people who go missing in the national parks. There's definitely something weird out there.
Love these, Chris. Appreciate you doing this. I like to play them while I am doing tasks that don't require a lot of thought (so I can pay attention). Really love the audio and all the familiar sounds of camping and/or hiking. It puts me outside with you. Love the stories, although the vids are great regardless of the stories. Just the vibe you capture is so... familiar and beloved. I like that you are prepared and feature gear, but also that you don't have the life planned out of you adventures - there's improvising and spontaneity, which are familiar aspects of being out there. Also... Man, you sure make a beer sound tasty, wherever you've got that mic placed! Enjoy the cooking, too. All the little set up details are great. Thanks again!
Chris you reach out not only to viewers in US but thousands of miles away in different continents. I , in India can sleep only after watching one of your soothing videos. Thank you. 🙏
We appreciate your story telling and thanks for taking us along with you.
Thanks for listening
Oh my gosh Chris, such a terrifying encounter for that couple. And then for you , to be out there after dark sharing this story, just incredibly brave man you are. Thank you for the best stories ever told! Be safe and keep 🥾.
Always love the stories and when you talk of the history of the places you go. Keep them coming Chris. We look forward to this every week!
I can imagine hearing wood knocks, rocks being thrown & whoops & howls in the background...that would be a scary episode...
Another awesome video/story thanks chris!
As I watch another great video I am drinking my coffee from my BaseCamp Chris mug!
I’ve just gotta say- Chris you know how to tell a scary story- Best channel on RUclips- You should have a trillion subscribers dude!
go to , ...how to hunt. thats the best sasquatch channel...youll see.
@@happyvalley6990 No, I won’t watch any hunting channels- I’m against hunting- but thank you for the tip! Have a great day!
Good story. I met someone who related a similar story but was camping for remote work duties. Upon return her boss asked how it went. He related he had had an encounter in his RV in that area previously! Best 7 minute story told in only 20 min :)
Well I am becky you got a LONGGG name. This sounds like a bigfoot critter to me. These bastards harass me on event as well. I live in Alaska and work a few hours a week at a remote dam. They like to throw basketball sized rocks into the water splashing me. You just have to give it right back to them. I will run at and yell at them all the time firing off rounds into the treeline there at. They will leave me alone for a while
Hi Chris love the views and the story thanks 🇬🇧👍🏻
They heard the Sierra Sounds, that's frightening but cool!
I'm a new viewer, I love the way your stories are told, so up close and personal, like we're all sitting around a campfire. Thank you! 😊
Thanks and welcome
@@basecampchris Hi Chris, thanks for these stories, I love listening to you, do you know any about dogman?
There are some very strange things that go on in & around Yosemite. ...if that area had not been where this couple was, I may of been skeptical but there,.....I believe it!!!And BTW you are BRAVE OUT THERE BY YOURSELF!!!!!Great Story!!!
Yet again you amazingly deliver the best campfire story telling out there. Your content is amazing. Continue to brave the great outdoors and be safe out there Chris. Look forward to the next episode.
Thank you very much!
@@basecampchrisYes. A linguistic worked with this. He said they borrowed some words from Spanish and some of the Indian languages. They also talk while they’re breathing *in* as well as out.
❤Here’s to Chris❤
One of the bravest people ever seen on the series of tubes.
Yosemite has a very high concentration of missing hikers
(aka: Gigantopithicus snacks).
Outdoorsy types are a kind of deviled egg for Sasquatch.
I have no doubt about that too! One hears so many stories, both good and bad, but I have no doubt that Squatches like to eat people.
Which makes you a greasy pancake on the road. Taken by the mysterious cryptid known only as the freeway which kills 1.4 million worldwide per year. As far as this high concentration you are talking about you might want to consider the fact that Yosemite averages 20,000 visitors per DAY. I live an hour from the park and I’ve known about missing people before it was fashionable. Paulides work is very interesting but he doesn’t get everything right by a long shot. I’ve never seen him retract anything. My point is you are more likely to be a pancake than a a deviled egg.
@@khworker1322
Noted. There is not a federal coverup re freeway deaths, not so with the myriad missing folks who visited Yosemite.
Weird thing to say. I live near Yosemite National Park. I've heard and felt out of the ordinary things. After I transfer from my community college I plan to get into an intern program within the Park soon and yeah it's rather scary because it's no new thing that many go missing and horrible things happen deep inside the woods. Honestly I'm willing to investigate myself what's actually happening within the Sierra if time and fate allows it.
@@firstnamelastnamethirdname
I wish you the best of luck.
See David Paulides. specifically
In regards to folks missing in Yosemite & the park service throwing obstacles in his way.
Thank you for sharing at the end the way you did. Something is out there , who knows what it is but everybody can’t be lying and I love the way you say you believe in people. Bless you!
Yet another Great story Chris!!
Thank you so much for making my Sunday Evenings Creepy!! I LOVE it!! 😂
As always, be safe and Happy trekking!!! 💙🙏
I believe this story. You shared it in such a powerful way with sound effects and all. Thanks Chris.
Wow, what a great story to end off my weekend. Thanks a lot for another great vlog Chris. May you have be in great health for future Vlogs. 🎉
Love your channel and format! You deserve much success for creating such a unique niche channel. Also, please bring your parents back! Loved them and would love to see your brother on your channel to tell a story if he is available 😊
I love to camp. Wish I had a camper. I am 70. Hard to get around no one to go with. I am going to sell all my stuff at a yard sale since I am not using it. When my husband was alive we went quite a bit. I am a new subscriber.
Hi Chris, great story as always! Stay safe.
The west is so beautiful. I live in New England, which is beautiful this time of year too. But, it's short lived. In a few weeks the clouds roll in with rain then snow won't see it again till January when it becomes bitter cold.
I do love the west...thanks for watching!
Found this video while looking for a different creepy story. Loved this tale and your format is different and awesome. Liked and subbed based on this video! Look forward to going through your playlist. This is the perfect time of the year for it thank you for the post.
Awesome, thank you! Chris
@Ken'NJudy the loss of a child is unbearable and painful, but it's the fond memories that has a purpose. The flames staying lit and moving forward because tomorrow's sun will rise again.
@Chris Many many thanks for bringing us stories to share. Be safe, be alert, and God Bless.
- Cheers mate 🍻!
Your a master story teller Chris, awesome job, very interesting! Thanks for setting the mood out in Nature as well.
I love how you tell a story...we all know what scared the shit out of these people! ...that would have taken 10 years off my life
Thank you!!
Good morning from Ireland! I have watched way too many horror movies and documentaries about people who vanish in National parks, that I ain't ever hiking or camping🙈The most beautiful places in the world I'm so sorry that they lost their son. I have an 18 year old son and the pain of that loss has to be so unbearable💔⚘🌻💚🇨🇮🇨🇮Great story telling! I'm hanging on every word!!
I am listening from Lansing Michigan! I love camping up north in Northern Michigan. Amen to all of your great stories.🙏 Keep them coming.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great story tonight Chris! I'm with you. I'm not sure if I 'believe' but what I find interesting are the all the consistencies that seem to run throughout all of these stories. Either thousands of people are encountering the same thing out there, or they're all part of the same conspiracy.... 🤷♂
Yes....Interesting!
Back in the late 70's, we went to Oregon to visit my sister and on the way back we stopped at Crater Lake. Mom didn't want to stay and wait until morning for the store to open so we started back to San Jose. It was a little after midnight. Mom and my sister were asleep. My daughter was awake sitting in the back seat of the van when we saw something on the side of the road. We didn't know what it was but when it crossed the road behind us, with the tail lights we saw him tall and hairy. He was taller than our 72 Ford van. Thank God he didn't cross in front of us even though we weren't going fast. The shock didn't hit us until later. Imagine if he would have been violent?
I must be missing something. We would have been long gone immediately. Fastest trip to Walmart parking lot in history. Really?! "Tried to get some sleep?!!" Just found your channel. Am binging on a drizzly Sunday. Thank you, stay safe.
😂I like your laugh dude keep telling good spooky stories bro!
