Dark Coast, Hunt for the Alaskan Bigfoot: Journey's End 

I haven’t watched your videos in months because I had got my first girlfriend. She ended up breaking up with me 2 months in, but now I am watching the videos and it’s keeping me happy again. Her and I were long distance which made things tougher as well. I’ve always believed in and loved all topics Bigfoot, I’ve watched your videos for somewhere around 2 years, the quality and production of them are great, and how you research in the field is really cool. Thank you for being awesome, for making these so we all can engage in the Bigfoot/cryptid and alien topics together, as a community of believers, skeptics, and others who just enjoy nature.

My cat sits straight-up, ears perked. Every time Rebecca calls out. I love this series of research. I'm hooked!

Thoroughly enjoyed this series in Alaska with Alexander Petakov. Incredible scenery, spectacular photography, very interesting story line. Thank you STM for all the work you put into each production!

Aleks, I have truly enjoyed the Dark Coast series!!! I hope you will continue making more videos where about Alaska or wherever. You make your story telling easy to listen to. Thank you!

You guys are by far the best out there.. your cinematography.. your absolute truth that you show n share is something you should all be proud of..I'm happy to see you working along with the Olympic Project..my two favorite honest "data collectors" Alexander Petrakov you keep us enwrapped with your videos n just your excitement not just to be looking for Sasquatch..but for the beautiful places you take us..I've been disabled for over 15 years now and the one thing I miss the most is hiking...n you take me there! Thank you for all you do for us. Just soaring over the Alaskan coastal mountains made my day..n I'll watch it probably another 5 times....thank you ❤

Thank u guys for uploading this it’s really helping me to wind down at night and ease my mind I just lost my home and everything I’ve ever loved and worked hard for this past 3 weeks. And now living in my car so thank u this helps me escape the hell im in

This showed how vast, how immense this area is. So much nature is still above water.

Sasquatch showing up or not, this was a highly enjoyable and informative series. I admire Aleks's drive and clear outlook. Thanks for creating this window into wild Alaska for us suburbanites.

Photography is amazing, what beautiful landscapes, what a gift from God.

This series illustrated how tough real bigfooting is. I enjoyed it and look forward to more. Good job!

Still my favorite location you guys ever done. Sad nothing occurred but like you said that's part of the deal. This is why you guys are legit.

That is TRULY god's country. Such gorgeous scenery. As i've said before it's not always about the Sasquatches. But rather appreciating and taking in such a beautiful landscape. And the nature that inhabits it.

The quality you always produce is astonishing. The production values as well as the content. I haven't watch any TV bigfoot shows for a long time because output like yours is just leagues ahead. I'm not talking about believing/disbelieving - I just love being immersed in your world, remote and stunning as it is.

Has to be disappointing. Of all the places, this seemed to have the most potential. Great effort people, and if nothing else, a great time spent in a beautiful place, being sick aside. We’ll be with you on the next one STM

It's been confirmed, I am going to binge watch your content today

What a fantastic series this has been. Easily the best show on RU-vid. Looking forward to this finale. 💯

Such beautiful scenery in these films... well done!

STM continues to provide HONEST content. I got lots or respect for that. Thanks.

Awesome video and spot guys !!

Despite it being quiet, it was nice to see Area A again.

Thanks for going out in the rain. That cannot be easy.

Aleks and STM crew, y’all are doing great things 👍👍 you were able to capture the beauty and wonder of Alaska in this series perfectly! Regarding the Sasquatch, you never know what’s going to happen, but you did an awesome job of putting yourselves out there in case they made themselves known. I had an intense Sasquatch experience in late 2006 in the north Georgia mountains. It definitely changed how I view the world around me. Cheers from Chattanooga, TN 🤙

Amazing as always!

Sorry if I came off negative. Just wanted to tell you my opinion. Still some very good research. Keep it coming!

Another superb episode

Man is so beautiful there good luck with the search

Looking forward to the next one!

Beautiful scenery and alot of Majestic forest. Alek is not feeling well. Speedy recovery. love you documentaries and your truthfulness about being hard to spot Sasquatch.

Thank you for the next adventure in Alaska, area A! It was as fantastic and beautiful as the first adventure there! I hope you all team up together in 2024 to return and do all the stuff you think you may have done this time. I think this is a project for the long run. We know sasquatch is there, but obviously not the whole year around. To me it would be wonderful if you could return for another 14 days during a diffrent season in 2024!

Even with not much activity, I wanna thank you Alex. It's still awesome to see the surroundings of such a remote beautiful place

area A sure is a great spot for looking for Bigfoot !! Hopefully you do more investigating there again

great job!

Thank you for making a serious video, and treating this subject with respect.

Congrats on completion of this trip. Thank you.

I really liked this show. I hope you have more like it in the future😊

Always a beautiful adventure. Weather it yields much on the scientific side ,truly beautiful nonetheless!! Until next time. Stay safe ,and blessed ! Much love from Florida ❤.

It's really beautiful scenery and a gorgeous view from the cabin. I wasn't too disappointed with the lack of activity because I got to see some sights that I will never get to see in person. It's just absolutely beautiful!

Great snapshot of the wilderness around Resurrection Bay, Alaska. These areas are not easy to get to and quite costly once all said and done. Excellent series Aleks and STM team. If you could find Sasquatch every time you go out, we would have substantial evidence by now. Thank you for keeping it true. Alaskans are a different breed to survive the remote wilderness but the magnificence and splendor that awaits anyone brave enough to accept the adventure, will ignite your soul afire. The admiration of being far removed is alluring yet the reality of the ruggedly brutal lifestyle to endure the long winters, harsh weather and terrain keeps the population thin. I hope Aleks and STM return to Alaska for there is so much more to experience and captivate you. Until then, I thank you for a spectacular Alaskan adventure! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Visiting Alaska is definitely on my bucket list--it's absolutely gorgeous!!

💚👋ALL, Alaska is amazingly beautiful, and the footage captured is beyond words💯👍 I certainly hope the crew continues their research, and of course, it takes time and money. I can only imagine how you felt with being sick, but you all are true troopers💯👍BRAVO❣️ BLESSINGS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL💚 SAFE TRAVELS❣️ Closing statement : Well said, Alek. I hope research in the near future will continue and admire the respect that's given to this beautiful location of Alaska💯👍

Wow, you've outdone yourself this time around with the scenary shots. Absolutely magical.

By far, your best series yet. Great job. The Ridge was excellent as well.

Hi Alek, your truly blessed to have been able to visit, explore and investigate in this amazing part of our world, and yes there wasn't that bigfoot moment, but you have to go to search to find. keep doing what your doing and one day there will be that moment and until then keep sharing the beauty and wonder of the high and wild places with us less fortunate souls.

Hoping you guys are able to go again soon for a longer time… I love the amazing scenery here

This was a great series so well done. Thank you!

Now that someone said it...her call got my attention. Almost as much as the woods. Glad I subscribed.

Excellent documentary! Thank you! ✨

Keep going guys, you'll get what you're looking for when you least expect it.

What an opportunity to explore such a primitive area of our world!! Sorry you were under the weather but still a great stay! Keep it up!

Gorgeous scenery, appreciate integrity of not faking. Exciting for y’all to confirm Sitka deer are in fact in the area. Look forward to the days of hitting trees and hollers being over. Glad you brought a woman. I think camping and respectful hiking with women while kitted out with gear likely to lead to better results. Good luck with future adventures, you make very good videos 👏👏👏

Just wanted to say congratulations to Aleks on being the Bigfooter of the Year.

The cinematography and music in these has been phenomenal. I am as captivated by the filming and composition of these episodes and specials as I am the subject matter.

Big thank you to STM for going across the country and different regions talking with people in a respectful and informative way. It’s not crazy or outrageous merely informative The excursions into the wilderness really bring the reality of the region and ground the sightings with a perspective that armchair experts do not attempt or even think about. Keep it up guys!! Love your work and hopefully we get some legitimate undeniable proof one day that will gob smack skeptics and scientists into jibbering idiots

sad for this series to end 😢 nowhere on earth id rather be than coastal Alaska and living it thru you, Aleks, is a pleasure.

It's like Kong Skull Island. I'm waiting for some giant squatch to come crashing through the trees to the shoreline. Wishful thinking i suppose.

What would we do if we didn't have people like you trekking where most of us never go. Beautiful scenery and great outdoors exploring. Love this channel because of your open mind!

I love your outdoor adventures, and I truly appreciate your efforts! Thank you so much!

Excellent series thanks for taking the time .

I appreciate the investigating with integrity. I think you are spot on with the topic of we are "conditioned" to expect something every time the cams are on by BS TV shows and the media outlets these days. I imagine it is much more realistic that nothing happens usually and if your are lucky you get something. Not every sound is Sasquatch, not every treefall is a structure. They wouldn't stay undiscovered very long by making things obvious I wouldn't imagine.

wow bloody Awesome series, thankyou so much for sharing.

Loved the Alaska trip !!! You guys need to check out Missouri !!!

Love your honesty of how you approach yorr research and the your delivery your thoughts on what your see and discouver it leave a persons with having truely experienced nature it's purist formof not being compromised by implementing some unfounded narrative that doesn't belong to the real outcome of the data collected and analyzed, nothing added and nothing omitted just pure and raw in the form in which you experienced itmaking your journey a journey for others to experience as well. I felt each and every step you took and endured, thank you for sharing something that the average person may never be able to get out and do for them them selves.

Thanks for this series, Aleks! It was lovely to see Area A, its rugged majesty and its awesome wildlife again. Beans seems really cool, was neat to see more of him, and to meet Rebekah. Thermal drones are the way of the future, I suspect. I hope to see the prices go down and for more bigfooters to use them. I appreciated most of all in this episode your honesty, as always. Most of the casual section of the bigfoot community was conditioned by the overproduced and sensationalist shows like Finding Bigfoot and the like to half-expect action all the time. But real life doesn't do a neat three-act arc most of the time and expecting legitimate footage in every Sasquatch video on RU-vid is a date with disappointment. As you said, investigation, research and field science are meticulous and often dull, and your recent work and Eli's are actually brave to show that, I think. As Adam Savage once said, it's only science if you write it down, otherwise it's just fooling around 😉. In a subject known for hoaxing, eccentrics, vitriol, madness and hyperbole, knowing you through your work to be an ethical filmmaker who doesn't exaggerate or generate fake excitement is so incredibly refreshing. You're making a bigfoot documentary, yes, but you're also making art. You're on a journey that you get to bring us along for. Thank you for that.

Absolutely fantastic!!! Thank you so much to all of you for sharing your wonderful adventure! Great photography and scenery!!! Loved this! 🤗♥️

Absolutely stunning no other words describe it.

Ive watch the first 3 episode how can i join l am from New Zealand

Just to add on to my previous comment the music was also excellent! Really addend to the atmosphere of the shots and movements particularly the aerial work this was a real bonus to the overall production.

STM...I have sincerely enjoyed this series, you have ALL done an amazing Job. I can't wait to see More from the teams.

Thank you for sharing your life with us. It is a beautiful world your taking us to. It's my escape watching you.

hi it took me so long to finish the series but I'm absolutely so impressed I fished for salmon a lot a long time ago in bc and i have a close fondness to the area thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to keep us people around the world educated dk ireland

Thank you to each and every one of you for taking us along with you on this most stunnliy beautiful journey ❤️❤️

To bad it ends i loved these series the place is beautiful.

Great content. I live in SE alaska so I felt yall when it got so beautiful out your LAST day there. Story of my life 😬😬 u guys made the best of it!

I have really enjoyed Dark Coast, especially in Area A. I wish there was going to be more.

Alaska is fantastic and should be protected forever !!!! ❤😊💎🌌🏔️

This was awesome and Im so happy for you all feeling better. It’s not like you can doordash Walgreens ☺️💕. Always a little sad when these beautiful videos come to an end . 🤗 Great job on these.

Wonderful, thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us

Something that came to my mind was that many halibut fisherman takes a gun with them! When they catch one over a certain size or weight, they will shoot them before dragging them aboard! Wondering if the gun shots you guys have been hearing is exactly that! It echoes across the water and bouncing off the mountains around you! I have witnessed this many times because that size fish could really hurt someone! Thanks for the show! Low bass Kenneth

Love this series, thanks to bringing us to basically untouched nature, those forests are massive, anything could be in there and it would be very hard to find. Also like how this group takes a serious approach to this subject, goes out on research journeys like this, and trying to document this massive habitat while bringing us along. This area is likely one of the best places to try to document this primate without human interference, just need way more time and resources...that thermal drone tho from the last episode (really cool btw) you all need that along all the time. Thanks again for producing this, looking forward to another Alaska/ Canada adventure.

I think you're doing a great job. I enjoy your videos. Thank you

Absolutely captivating. Thank you Aleks.

Brilliant series the production is superb . Thank you. What a magical part of the world. New subscriber.

The area is stunning. Truly wild

Good job, keep them coming.

Thanks for your dedication and professionalism towards this subject. The stuff you’re finding is mind blowing. It inspires me to get back out in the woods

I am sure we have all enjoyed watching this adventure - thank you for trying guys and persistence will bring results....eventually.... 🐺🐾👍

WOW you guys are the best on you tube , so clean quiet and beautiful scenary, absolutely amazing filming , please make more documentaries about sasquatch , and the beautiful wildlife and areas you visit . 10 out of 10 guys 😉👍❤❤❤ katie wales uk .

Fabulous and fascinating series. Well done all.

Great job !

Another fantastic and fascinating journey! So true to how it is and not a false direction but what an amazing place good people and wonderful filming through out. Thank you Alexander Petakov I for one hope you get a chance to do more of this kind of project it expands the subject out into the natural world and I think that is a good. I only watch Beyond the trail and now i will definitely add Dark Cost to the list.Great Work!

Man Alaska is gorgeous. I bet it was fun just to be there. You guys are lucky. Love the videos keep up the good work.

Amazing job, Aleks! Even with all the trials and tribulations!

So me, and one of my buddies were going fishing up in Bailey Colorado at Wellington Reservoir and we were on a single track, one way dirt road cutting across the mountains to get to the reservoir. As we were driving a topper from a truck was pushed out in front of us on this single track road, so I stopped my truck to get out to move it and asked my buddy for help and he would not get out of my truck. So I got out and luckily it landed on its roof so I can actually pull it off the road myself. My buddy was acting kind of weird for the rest of the day so when we got back to my house and he went home usually he would call me two or three times a week and I didn’t hear from him for about two months, he finally called me to come and clean his carpets at his townhome in Colorado Springs and when I got there, he asked me what I thought about what we seen that day, and I didn’t know what he was talking about. After the shell flew off the side of the mountain in front of my truck, he said he looked to his right, and there was a 9 1/2 foot, I’ll just say Bigfoot staring at him and it turned and took three steps and was gone. He was acting weird and talking to himself all day that day and because of that and what he seen he said he lost about two months of sleep and was moving back to California, it’s funny because I tell people this that are supposedly looking for Bigfoot and they never get back to me.

Brothers and sisters of Small Town Monsters.. Especially those who put the work seen and unseen. Every segment each tree ,bush , pinetree and cone is important to me How much I want to do one day of feeling what you guts love. Keep up the Fantastic work and Segments. Can't wait for the next one 🌲🌲🍁🍁⛰️🏔🌋🗻☃️

That shadow valley looks like a great place.

Nice work Alex !

AWESOME CONTENT!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

In my 20+ years of research I've learned the best way to keep sasquatch out of a certain area is to put up a trail camera. They see the IR and can hear where they are (all electronics make noise, just not in the range we hear)

Note : Great Series 'Missing In Alaska' ( possible great adjunct to these wonderful Videos.)

Great series! Ty STM
