8 Year Old Missing for 6 nights in Wilderness...ALONE! 

“It’s not bad …… it’s not very good either”. 😂😂😂😂 That gave me a giggle.

Sometimes I am tempted to wander into the wilderness in search of Chris, just so I can listen to him tell stories and sit around the campfire enjoying a beer. or a coffee, depending on the time of day.

Poor dad was distraught to the point of exhaustion and yet no one bothered to let him know that his daughter was found.

only 78 years ago she could still be alive ... would love to hear from her an adult and what her memory is of the time she was lost

There’s usually a reason why places named devil’s anything…,are so named. Should be a big caution.

Ya'ateeh' Chris. You're a great story teller, enjoy. From the Navajo Nation.

I’ve heard that in the case of missing children, searchers believe children are more likely to travel down rather than up. It’s believed it’s easier. It’s been my own experience while searching for my two year old who went missing near our home, that even as young as she was, they will go up. We lived near the dunes by a beach and we were moving into our new home. She suddenly disappeared and out we all went to search for her. My gut told me to go to the bushy area because that is what I’d have done. Even as a two year old it was clear that she was curious about the mysterious as I had always been. I had two path options, go on the flat path or go up the dunes into the forested area. My gut said up. I found her on the lookout. On her tiny legs she had walked up quite a steep incline. Always look up too.

In recent years there have been stories of missing children found in the middle of thorn bushes. Claiming the bear took care of them and kept them warm.

Wow, what a survivor that little girl was! I wonder if she's still living. She would be 86 these days. Thanks for sharing this story, Chris 🙏

That collapsible kettle is mint! We love it! Great story, Chris. There's a lot mystery why these parks use the word Devil. Cheers, Chris! 🍻

The Lord was surely looking out for this little girl. Thanks for another great story Chris.

Wow I am 65 and I would be terrified to be alone 7 days in the woods. Great story Chris.

She found water to drink and berries to eat, what a resourceful little girl. Often state parks have visitor centers, nature talks, and plant walks. Perhaps she learned what berries to eat at the park before she got lost. Kids can be very observant, fast learners. When i was a kid, pretty much all kids were taught, if you get lost, try to find a high vantage point, like the top of a hill, or even climb a tree to see if you can see a land mark you recognize , and following water downstream usually leads to civilization.

I like Chris' dramatic pose on the thumbnail! An Oscar!

That summer sun really warms up the stone, just laying on it at night keeps you warm all night. One of my favorite camping hacks

My sister got lost on one of our family camping trips back in the 1960's. She & I walked to the bathroom together & I told her I'd race her back to the tent. She didn't show up & after my parents told the ranger they found her about 45 minutes later. Another happy ending & thankfully not nearly as traumatic as Katherine's adventure. Great story as usual, Chris! 👍

It just shows how resilient children can be. Obviously an intelligent child who listened to her body knowing it was hot to get shade and to soak her sore feet. That Part made me giggle ,showing again how smart a child is. Poor baby with swollen feet and bug bits . Thank you Chris, great true story.. ✌️

When I was 45 years old I got lost in the Canadian wilderness and didn't handle it as well as this little girl did I panicked big time. Perhaps as adults we understand the consequences of what might happen if we don't find our way. I was lost for just a few hours, this brave little girl was lost for days. Kudus to this little girl! Great story!

Interesting scenery. Watching here in Britain 🇬🇧 Love these stories when they appear here on Sunday evening.

Devils Den is where Sgt Terry Lovelace and his friend had their UFO abduction experience, so it does seem that strange things go on there . Great story telling Chris, always look forward to your show every Sunday 😊👍

Great historical, background and inspirational story. If she was eight in 1946, that means that she would have been born in 1937 or 1938. This said, she was a child during the Great Depression and World War 2 when people had to be very resourceful and resilient just to live, and was quite possibly, among the reasons for her survival!

CHRIS!--Just remember the old "Bumper-Snicker"..."Beer 🍺, it's Not just for Breakfast anymore" 😅

Happy St Patrick's Day, Chris! Enjoy a Guiness tonight in celebration!

wtg Katherine! She kept her head and just kept to the task of being rescued. I'm not sure at 8 years if I could've done that!

My Sunday wouldn't be complete without a BCC video. My favorite channel on this subject. Thank you Chris!!!!!

Oh my gosh, get a load of that kettle 🤩

Thank you for mentioning the Native American Removal act and the Trail of Tears. There were two parties, north and south in order to cross the Mississippi. Thusly, two Trails of Tears. Most don't know that. With regards to coffee, have you tried "Toddy" coffee? Awesome rock formation. Amazing story! Thank you for the fun videos.

Awesome video, Chris. What a story! I do also follow Dave Paulides and the disappearances have no good explanations. I agree with another comment that says if the place has Devil in the name, I'd avoid it all together. There's a reason for the name. KEEP HIKING 😊

Wow! Seven days lost!!! This is inspiration for modern times, so often we assume the worst for a missing person at the regular time intervals … 24, 48, 72… Whether you count her gone for six days which is 144 hours or seven days which is 168 hours… That little girl surviving is a miracle! Thanks for another Great story Chris!!!

Another great story Chris, what a beautiful area to hike. I love that kettle, at first I thought it was terra cotta lol!

This missing case had so many missing 411 points that I’m glad you mentioned Mr. Paulides. The first 411 point I noticed was the name of the park they were in, but there were many more. I heard of another case of a missing young girl in Arkansas that was more recent and very interesting. This other case occurred in northern Arkansas; I believe it was along the Buffalo National River. She was hiking with her Grandparents who did not believe that she got outdoors enough so they took her for a hike to a waterfall along a river bluff trail. The girl lagged behind and in an effort to catch up, she took to a game trail and was instantly lost. She also instantly gained a little girl companion, (Third Man Syndrome) that stayed with her until just before she was found. This little girl led the missing girl around, showed her where they could sleep and constantly told jokes; she also gave the missing girl a name that she wished to be called. How the missing girl was located was also very strange and has some parallels in some missing 411 stories. Two local men got it in their head somehow that they knew where the missing girl was at so they went to search hq and tried to get searchers to go there and look for her. The search bosses said that was a place that was too far and she couldn’t be there because she would have to have gotten down the nearly impossible to negotiate river bluff. The two men were convinced the missing girl was where they thought she was even though they didn’t know why they had that thought in their heads. They got two horses and rode to the spot and there sat the missing girl. This was the last spot the missing girl slept and when she awoke there sometime before her rescue, her little companion was gone. When relating her story she told of her joking little companion and locals knew that some years before a little girl with a very similar but not identical name had died tragically, very near to where the missing girl disappeared. After being returned to her family the girl that had been missing constantly had jokes to tell and never repeating any for some good little period of time. Her parents said she had never told jokes before she went missing.

Such beautiful scenery Christ! The sandstone bolders remind of Badlands National Park and the 30 from Kadoka, SD to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Thank you for the story. I was 3 years old when it took place.

Beautiful landscape, great story Chris🙂

You just drink beer in the morning if the instant coffee is that bad🤭😊😂!

Greetings from Laos, Chris. Coffee is awesome in the morning with breakfast. It tastes best when you're camping and hiking outside in nature.

It's Sunday!!! Hello Chris!!! 😊❤

That kettle is ace!

Your new tent looks awesome.

Scrolling & ran across your new video, downloaded 43 seconds ago!!! What a treat!!! Love your videos Chris!! Thanks for taking me along!! Muskogee Oklahoma.

Been waiting for a story all day.

Happy Sunday!

Odd story but it had a happy ending. Thank God they found her. Thanks Chris for another great video!

Amazing little girl!! I’m so thankful she was found 🙏🥰

No beer 😳👀...I'm drinking alone this episode 🙊🙄 ...still great as usual though Chris !!😬

That is an incredibly amazing story of survival for a young girl only eight years old, and to know to cool her swelling feet in colder creek water is astonishing. It kind of makes one wonder if there really wasn't another source of coaching by our North American cryptid bigfoot. Thirty miles of walking seems a lot for a youngster to keep wandering off that far, it seems she may have been carried. Thanks Chris for this fascinating story.

Yayyyy! I look so forward to Sunday's to watch your latest videos. Thank you for all you do Chris. Stay safe and GOD bless

Sunday, Sunday Basecamp Chris is on

Hey Chris 🙋🏻‍♀️ greetings from the uk..I love the channel love hearing the encounters and of course I am very fond of you too 😊 safe travels and much love 🙋🏻‍♀️

Great Video Chris, also, Cheers, happy St Patrick's Day! In the Irish: Slainte'! Agus Lá fhéile Pádraig sona dhuit. Briefly, my mother, born in 1909, wandered off as a 3-1/2 year old from home, she remembered falling asleep in a corn field during the day, and missing untill 400AM when she recalled people with kerosene lamps standing over her. She said she hid at first from the searchers, afraid of who they might be.

Taster's Choice, Coffee? no you want Café Bustelo. That voice over is from the 1970's Taster's Choice commercial. Trail of Tears, read the book. "Bury My Heart, at Wounded Knee". All the best Shaun 🦉 of NYC

Where did you buy the collapsible kettle?

I bet I would’ve been the same way when I was little. What a little adventurer and explore she must’ve been.

You always have beautifully composed photos and videos. In particular this one of you sitting front of the rock is awesome.

Great video! My dad was lost in the Sequoia National Park for 6 days and 5 nights when he was 7 years old.

I love this kind of story, thanks Chris.

Thank you!

Devil's Den State Park is beautiful. 😊

Thanks for another great share Chris .

Miraculous story!! No doubt her guardian angel was watching over her. Thanks Chris!! ❤❤

Thank God this little girl was found safe💜 cheers Chris. Great happy ending

My pen pal Chris in NZ always says cheers. We have been pen pals for almost 20 years. No Big foot there.

Amazing story, Chris. Love the collapsable pot AND the tent!❣️p.s. Get an infusion ball (used for loose tea) coarsely grind some of your favorite coffee and have a cuppa worth waking up for! (Practice at home to fine tune the amount of coffee per cup and take a spoon with you that holds the proper amount.) From someone who would rather drink swamp water than bad coffee! 😝🤣🐅

Great story Chris loved it

chris hello my friend i hope you are doing well ❤

You’re a great storyteller and can’t get enough of those laughs of yours!💚

🇨🇦I was 8. Algonquin park Ont. I and a new friend rowed across the lake to see the white trees. We didn’t think of bears 🐻 or being lost. After many hours heading back to our camper I came up out of a ditch and a ranger drove up and asked if I was me. Yes i said. He said get back to camp everyone is looking for you. I was surprised. My parents seemed calm. Different times. Children were credited with resiliency and let be As a parent I was too afraid to let our son wander around all day in Algonquin park. 😮 Great story Chris. Weird how she got so far away from camp. One thing being afraid of getting in trouble I never told of the friend the boat the white trees. I said I was at the playground. No more questions were asked. 🇨🇦🍁

I could watch a new video of base camp Chris everyday lol. Sundays take so long some weeks. He's the man!

Yay Coffee!!!!

Your kettle is Awesome! Children are very resilient we don't give them enough credit. Great story Chris👍

Hey, Chris. Been listening to and looking forward to your stories every week for quite some time now. Love your genuine spirit. My mom just passed rather unexpectedly a couple of weeks ago, and it's these little "routine things" in my life, like your vids, that are helping me transition into my new normal. Blessings to you.

You know it is Sunday when BASE CAMP CHIS is here!❤️ Keep hiking!! 🥾 ☕😂 🍺

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Is the coffee as good as Mrs. Olsen used to make?

Very interesting story as usual Chris!

That’s actually pretty incredible she survived. Someone was definitely watching out for her.

Wow, amazing story, thx Chris

Great true stories bass camp keep them coming 👍

Very interesting story Chris …….thanks!!

Love the show thanks

You are always awesome! It is so much different seeing you enjoying a good beer.

Good story Chris - love a happy ending!

No way can a child walk that far with bare feet....nope....not even....

Another in a great run of good stories. Thanks

Good story Chris😊

Awsome story Chris can’t wait to see more hiking and camping from you

My favourite type of story. Thank You!!! ^_^

What a great story. So pleased she was safe and it does sound like a little miracle or two was present. Well told, Chris, that's one to remember.

Love your stories.

Even bad coffee is better than none! Have to have my morning coffee. I think that those who inserted Bigfoot into this girl's story were reaching. 8 years old, she would have had a story. Careful out there Chris.

Just commenting for the algorithm love ya Chris

Great story Chris! So glad it had a happy ending. That kettle you used is great. I'm getting one ASAP.

I love this man's videos/Stories he is a person who is really good at what he does. I will be sharing and trying to promote Chris as should you.

Wow what a brave girl😊.So glad she was found❤

New tent looks really cool. Can't wait to see it in action with our favourite adventurer. Love from England.

Great story!

Good job as usual! I’m glad you gave Paulides reference.

I watched everyone of your videos I think this is the first time you had coffee . Your the best love your videos ❤

I love listening to your show.👍

Great story as always

A very lucky and VERY blessed child. Wonderful to hear a positive ending. Love your stories Chris.
