Champawat Man Eater by Jim Corbett (Re-recorded) | Adventure Audiobook | Audiostory 

Thank you

This version is much improved qualitatively... You are now my favorite reader of audiobooks...but... I thought you were excellent the very first time I heard your voice...Mr. Singh, you have achieved master craftsmanship with this re-read...🙏

It may have been different, or "lower quality" to some; but YOU NEED TO REMEMBER THIS: Those are peoples opinions, and it's easy to take constructive criticism the wrong way. Hopefully there weren't any bad intentions in those opinions. Even if there were, you should realize that they are saying those things from behind their keyboards and anonymously. None of the people who said anything are content creators, and I'm almost positive that no one who listens to your narrations could come anywhere close to doing it better than you. It's easy to misinterpret constructive criticism, and I just wanted to make sure that you didn't. YOU'RE AWESOME, and if anyone speaks negatively of you or your work, IGNORE THEM. They're either jealous, mean, or just plain dumb. You have a gift, don't EVER let anyone's words keep you from sharing it with the world. Thank you again A

​@@jamess3241 He felt he needed to re-do it. It's not a matter of people being dumb or jealous. The content creator can tell the volume was low, and not up to his standards. The Champawat tiger was recorded in his earliest endeavors. There is no need to downgrade his loyal listeners of which I am one. You can tell the difference in the audio quality. He says this himself. I appreciate this effort, he is my favorite channel on RU-vid. Go in peace.

@@monicahaymes4361 Amen...

So happy to read this! Thank you John!

My pleasure and thank you!

Thank you for your words! Cheers!

Thank you

Thank you! Always happy to do more of Mr. Corbett's works.

​@@selvalore He's a true gem

Well, I dare say 2 or 3hrs more might increase ".. better" to: ".. more sublime?!"👌- but I take your point!👍😉🫡😁

Excellent! Thank you, Manjari!

Hear hear! Thats well said and thank you for commenting!

We all agree with everything he said pls come back and I hope their are no troubles on your end!!!

Yeah wouldn't we all have loved to have one more book from Mr. Corbett, writing of those experiences you speak about?!

If you are interested in scholarly discussion of the paranormal events in Corbett stories, I suggest you to read the book "Behind Jim Corbett's Stories" available on the internet. There is a Champawat bungalow, the scream from the empty Thak village, lights aver the Purnagiri and many other, plus the photos of the killing sites, and sometimes photos of the living relatives of the man-eater from Kumaon villages.

You're very welcome and thanks for the comment!

Amazing, it is indeed a classic! Thanks for commenting, Mr. Hammonds!

I appreciate you for saying that, Anand Ji! Thank you for commenting.

Love to read your comment. Keep them coming and thank you Mr. Agarwal!

@@selvalore God bless you always for the great job you are doing.

Very kind of you Paul! Thank you for your generous words.

Thank you Mr. Gibson!

Love the username and I appreciate you saying that. Thank you for the comment and support!

Happy to read this! Thank you for commenting.

Very interesting! Yes, OJAS in the comments mentioned the same thing. I will need to look this up. And totally agree with that last point.

It's very sad that if Jim Colbert were alive today he wouldn't be allowed to shoot these maneaters he would be astounded by this insanity

Thanks for saying that. Much appreciated!

Thanks for the comment, jeffrey! I agree with the first statement ofcourse. To your last point, Corbett himself admits in the preface to the book from which this story is taken from, that a tiger takes to man-killing only due to either an injury from a careless gunshot or old age.

Happy to do it too!

Always gracious in your comments. I appreciate that. Keep your comments coming and thank you!

Thanks for letting me know Christopher! Glad you like them. All the best!

Happy to hear this! We are both from the same state. Thank you Manas for taking the time to comment.

Ohh, your accent doesn't give a hint that you were born here. Thought you were 2nd or 3rd gen American. Recently visited rudraprayag and places reminded me of your narrations, some still remember Corbett there. Anyway cheers to Uttarakhand's heavenly beauty

Thanks Paul! I'm working on getting back as soon as possible

@@selvalore That's wonderful news, not least to know that you are well. I am merely one amongst many who are eagerly anticipating the next story. It is entirely because of you that I am currently on my second Jim Corbett book.

@@selvalorethank you heavens!! A reply I have been waiting for ❤️❤️

Agreed! Thank you for the comment!

That's wonderful to hear. Thank you!

Thanks for your comment Dr. Jordania! It just occurred to me that you're one of the co-authors of Behind Jim Corbett stories. I have read both volumes piecemeal. The amount of research and acholarship that went into them is admirable. I thought the name sounded familiar but I couldn't quite place it. Well, thanks for sticking around and listening to these audio versions of stories that no doubt you're very familiar with.

I appreciate you, thank you!

Your remarks are much appreciated, Mr. Russell! Thank you

Thank you Charlie! I appreciate the comment!

@@selvalore anytime.

This is amazing! Great to hear from you Jeff

Dear Jeff, Jim had no children, so he can not be your direct great grandfather, so what is your connection to Jim? Please explain.

Jim Corbett had no children.

My pleasure Amitji and thank you for commenting again!

Thank you PreetJi! Yes, the earlier one just sucked big time.

Working on it! Should be up early next week

Hopefully somebody will! I will look that up too. Thank you!

@@selvalore 👍☺

If Jim Colbert was alive today he would not be allowed to shoot these maneaters he would be astanded by this insanity

My pleasure, Ellis!

My pleasure, as always!

No human or animal should have to suffer😳😢 God put us here to take care of the earth and the animals 🙌

You might have a point there! Although I do think that Jim got lucky with the Tahsildar's help and the presence of so many men during the final beat. Something that would not have worked for the Rudraprayag leopard, just as an example.

Thank you for the comment!

Cheers and thanks for commenting Sandesh!

Thank you!

Kenneth Anderson could also

Very gracious and thank you as always!

Appreciate the comments Dave!

My pleasure, Linda!

@@selvalore I love these stories

Thats a good point!

ALways a pleasure, thank you Harry!

I know a story is long due. Working on it. Should he up in the next few days Anish!

@@selvalore thank you for the response... glad and super excited ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@selvalore hi sir .. I hope everything is good at your end!! Long time now ❤

Thank you Alex! They're only available on RU-vid now. I have been thinking of putting them up on spotify but not sure yet.

Thank you for the comment, Mr. Sambasivan! Temple Tiger is in the works. It will be the next upload, possibly in the next two or three weeks. Story behind the channel's name isnt very interesting. Selva Lore was named after Jim Corbett's de-facto memoir Jungle Lore. Selva being spanish for 'Jungle'.

@@selvalore, thanks, ah, the texas connection (spanish). I used to live in the DFW area for a long time.

Thank you Sharad!

Great to hear from you again. Thank you!

He could have seen a ghost or something like that. There is no way for us to know. We can only speculate!

Its in the works. Should be up in a few days.

Please upload anything new

Still waiting!

There is one now. Thanks!

Amen!

I understand Wasim bhai! I'm working on new stories. This needed to be re-done from scratch to bring it up to the standards. I had done the same thing for the talla-des story earlier.

Facts

This was a Talla Des man-eater, who had two cubs. He had 5 shells,

The next one is gonna be a story from that book. Thanks for your patience

I know. A story is long overdue. Im working on it.

Very soon Aman! Its in the works.

Surprisingly Corbett recounts how man eaters seem to know the difference between a man with a gun and a regular villager

Absolutely, there is a lot of Corbett yet to come! I just had to re-record this, as the previous one was terrible and not up to the standards.

@@selvalore Good to know!

Thanks Bill! I will consider doing some of Mr. Kipling's works in the future.

Gracias Wilber!

They were al in the same area that the tiger was residing in at the time so it was pretty obvious

I shall have something good out soon. Got held back by a minor throat infection which affected my voice.

Yes they seem quite vindictive and vengeful.

This was a very long time ago. The colonial British government had tight control over the sale of firearms. The few firearms that were used by villagers were homemade contraptions that were wildly unreliable.
