Frightening Encounter for Father & Son KAYAKING on Arkansas River! 

Great story Chris,I've heard another story recently of a mountain biker who was racing down a mountain and rounding a curve on to a sudden steep incline and was suddenly visciously attacked by a huge mountain lion.He also virtually gave up expecting death because the cat had mauled him so bad and had him in a firm grip on the back of his neck and restricted his breathing.Just as he was fading a 9to 10 foot sasquatch appeared out of nowhere grabbed the lion with two huge hands lifted it above it's head and brought it down on its shoulders so hard it snapped it's spine instantly. The guy was similar to your guy where he was still conscious cause be had a rush of adrenaline. If that wasn't enough the guy said it took a look at him snarled took one leap over a huge boulder at the side of the trail and about 10 seconds later a female sasquatch appeared and it was then his mind and blood loss made him pass out.Next thing he remembers is being rushed to hospital in a EMT van.He asked the medic how they got to him and he said a ranger walked out of his cabin and he was lying just in front of him.Wow what a tale guys!!

My weekly Chris fix, thanks for the hard work Chris bringing your viewers all these wonderful stories and thank you to the viewers for sending them 👍

Gave me the chills..they handled the situation well I think...so happy they weren't harmed...thank you chris

VERY interesting story! I live in Arkansas and have floated the Buffalo more than once during the day. I have also heard of MANY Sasquach encounters across the U.S. and Canada. I never had an encounter with anything of this nature while in the woods, BUT, I believe these encounters are SO PREVALENT as to make any normal person take notice. I believe they are out there.

Gave me the chills and was on the edge of my seat. This was very real. Lots of credit to the dad and son for handling it in a sensible manner. That sunrise must've seemed like an eternity. So many accounts of these Sasquatch events and even sightings. Always makes me wonder how these creatures live off the land and what kind of shelters they have. Great story, Chris. The waterfall behind you was a nice backdrop.

I live in rural Arkansas and I really appreciate the Ozark stories. Thanks, Chris!

This brought back a very vivid memory of a similar situation. About 15 years ago I was camping with my dad, my little brother, and my grand parents who were a couple hundred yards away in a trailer. We were camped out along the rogue river in southern oregon. Where we had pitched the tents on the river was a rapid. It was very loud. We had to talk loud to hear each other. My brother and I shared a tent. He was maybe 8 or 9 and I was around 15. It was a normal day and we fell asleep to the sound of the river. I suddenly woke up terrified from a knock on the other side of the river. I lay still and silent until I hear 2 whoops on the other side of the river. My little brother woke up to both of these but I had to tell him it was just other campers (there weren’t any we were aware of however). As we start to fall back asleep we hear another whoop across the river. To our surprise someTHING made a whoop on our side as a response to the one we heard right before that. This terrified both of us but we were too scared to wake my dad or get out and go to his tent. From that point we stayed up all night listening to odd sounds I could only describe as low pitch whistling. Almost like a flute but you could tell it was animal made. (Or Bigfoot). When the sun rose we played it off as if nothing happened we didn’t want to be made fun of for being scared. The most interesting part to me was the fact we could hear the whistle over the roar of the rapids, but couldn’t hear each other talk while right next to each other. Come nightfall that day my dad asked us if we heard anything last night. We told him everything, and it turns out he heard everything we did as well. He wasn’t as scared as we were but remained silent to simply observe. I could go more in depth, I’ll ask my brother and dad to recall their story to see if I’m missing anything.

This was the scariest one of all the stories I’ve heard you share! Glad the father and son are safe.

Great story telling Chris, you really allowed me to visualize that whole scenario. This one is really scary too. I can just imagine more then one Sasquatch scaring random river tourists to stay out of their territory.

I'm 70 yrs old, have been an outdoorsman in Washington state all my life, salmon fishing on the ocean, Elk hunting in Glacier peak area, pheasant, grouse, deer, hunting. Exploring and fishing all the inland waters of Puget sound, etc. etc. Cougars can be heard for miles and sound very close, they'll scream like women, beavers smack water like giant Boulder sound, Wilson Snipe near marshes sound like a jungle monkey with a loud seven or eight wild, crazy, crescendo building, deep, WHOOP, WHOOP, WHOOP... I've seen bears plow throw 40 ft tall fir stands whipping them like blowing grass snapping and breaking. Elk and bears grunt and snort and elk bugles can screech . Coyotes usually very recognizable but there's some screams they make as well. Cougars in heat will signal scream once or twice before mated. And screech owls will scream like demon sirens, absolutely hideous sound and great horned owls actually scream as well. Even cotton tail and jack rabbits scream when prey gets them. Some of it really gets your attention but I've loved every minute of it. But, the throwing of rocks sounds like ferel folks in the Arkansas woods. They are lucky there was no "Deliverence" type interaction, or someone could have been hurt, or worse Wildlife is varied and magnificent. After a lifetime I'm sure I haven't heard it all yet.

This was a great story, Chris! We know you can only do so much at a time so never worry about that! It's amazing to me that you have a full-time job. You allow your viewers to submit their stories and go out somewhere beautiful to tell their stories (I love the ones at home too, always a very cozy vibe) and you have to edit your videos. So you are doing an amazing job already, in my opinion!

I'm a little jealous of you who live in the US - your woods seem to be infested with cryptids and the supernatural. I believe that our Swedish forests are far too safe and quiet for my taste. However, drinking beer out in the wilderness seems to be a common denominator! 😆 Thanks for another exciting story!

I was binge watching your videos yesterday and got to see you reach 94k subscribers! So cool, congratulations Chris, hope you reach 100k soon! Love your work!

WOW! That was a very scary story, You certainly find the most beautiful and interesting places to share your stories. Thank you.

Hey Man! Those copper cups are cool. I own a few but depending on how it was manufactured and a few other chemical reaction possibilities, they can become toxic. The jury is still out on whether or not they're completely safe. Recently, I found an antique silver cup and I have to say, everything that I drink out of that cup tastes better, stays cold longer, stays warm longer and even through it weighs twice as much as my copper cups. I absolutely love it. If I give someone a drink from the silver cup. They all have the same reaction. " Whoa! What a cool cup. It feels like there's a charge of energy when you hold it. It looks and feels so solid and cool. I want it. " I say, "Thank you. I know it's really cool, but I can't let you have it because it's my lucky cup." It even looks like a small trophy or sippy cup with grips on both sides. If I find another one like it, I'll try to get it to you. Anyway, I love your content. Have fun. Stay safe.

The effectiveness of your storytelling is that you take us through it almost in real time, with lots of detail. Not for the first time, during this story I wondered if the sasquach was trying to help them. When he had been collecting wood, suddenly a tree was broken in the forest. Was it a gesture like "you want wood, here's some wood"?

Awesome job again Chris, you deliver the stories extremely well, keeps me on the edge of my seat 😂. Thank you for taking the time to do this as I look forward to a new story each week. I usually go back and rewatch some of the previous stories while waiting for a new one to drop.

Thank you Chris. I can’t tell you how much I love watching and listening to you. You are very charismatic. I love your laugh and your smile and the way you tell your stories with such enthusiasm. You’re becoming a good friend. Keep hiking.

Hey Chris good to see you my friend. Be safe and stay hiking

Wow, thank you so very much for your hike there, and the great father and son encounter. Very scary. The government does not want us to know about the hairy man.

Camped there once.....beautiful place. Puts my mind to a better time......yessir.

I live in Arkansas, rural in the mountains. I've had plenty of encounters myself, we have dogman and bigfoot. Others have claimed to see other cryptids here, not sure about those, but I don't doubt it.

Yay!! Story time with Chris!!!

I was watching past Base Camp Chris videos, even some previously watched (I can't get enough of this channel)...when all of a sudden, this new episode pops up in my alerts, what a joyful surprise!

Great story! Love hearing these ! There is things out there in the woods , we don't know of, smart beings , I've experienced weird things myself

Thank you Chris, you're a really great story teller!

This story was amazing and scary too. I enjoy the sound effects you make as you are telling the story. Great job. I look forward to your weekly videos. The scenery is also always beautiful. Love from Maryland

So glad you are wrapping this story up before dark! 😬 This one really gave the the heebie-jeebies, and was happy when the dawn started breaking.. Does this father/son team plan on doing more trips together after this unnerving experience? Well, take care, Chris! 🤠

I love how Chris narrates the stories.

Dear Chris, We love decently, but not horrifically, scary stories that we can listen to as a family, minus the little ones we put in bed first. For mom, dad, our tween, and teen, your stories have brought so much fun and fascination into our home! We have a family genetic disorder that saddly keeps us from camping and hiking ourselves, so when we found you, a person we can watch who can do this for us, we were just thrilled. We call you Uncle Chris, because, you're just a real, loveable kind of person. We appreciate that you are positive, friendly, out going, sensible, good natured, caring, genuine, a great story teller and an all around wonderful human being! You have our support! There are other story tellers out there on RU-vid, but I've made it a rule that if the story teller himself is just as creepy as the stories he tells than he's not the guy for us. We know we can trust "Uncle Chris" with our ears and the precious time we have to be together! Love, HT Hibbard (the girl born and raised in Virginia City, NV)

Wow, this is freaky Chris!!! You won't catch me camping period!!! Lol. Too many things that go bump in the night. In a weird way though, this intrigues me. The legend of bigfoot fascinates me. I believe that something is out there!!! Thanks for another great story Chris!! Be safe out there.❤

Another fantastic yet frightening experience by BCC! I do not envy those two. That's what I call PTSD fuel

Awesome story!! Thanks for the hard work Chris. From The Natural State have a great week and God Bless You All!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲

I love the way Chris tells the story. It sounds as if he actually witnessed it himself. That makes it very easy to visualize what happened.

Hi Chris, thanks for another great and scary story. I always look forward to Sunday and the next story!!

Thank you for the scary story and thank you for the beautiful place and waters sound , ❤️👍

Feral people in the woods and plenty of wild animals that have more strange calls and howls then you can count......😎 love yourchannel Chris, keep on rolling.

Be safe everyone and keep your footing whenever your paths and travels take you

That story was scary you would feels so vulnerable especially at night-time❤

A few years ago my wife and I were on the Buffalo and we got in a big disagreement. I left her there, I am relieved to know she is doing well. So glad they didn't shoot her.

That is terrifying! I wonder if its possible these two werent being harrassed by locals. I am originally from an area very close to the Ozarks and will attest the people out there can get QUITE ROWDY. lol...either way not sure I will ever float down the Buffalo River again. Thank you again always Chris, this gave me the willys!

I love the Buffalo river, I float it a few times a year. The Rush access is nice and the old buildings left from the old town of Rush is cool to see

Btw, it's 90 degrees here in Kansas today with storms coming later this week, it's too soon and is a bit unusual even for us. ....and a lot of too warm for me haha. Thanks again for sending us these great stories!

Our niece lives with a canyon in her backyard. There is a trail that goes down into it. She an a friend and her dogs were used to going down so far for exercise. She said one evening they went a little further then usual and saw a big hairy tall thing looking at them from further down. Suddenly it started coming up the trail at a fast pace and they started running back out. She said the dogs even took off. She said it chased them to almost the head of the trail. They have not gone back in for several years. The elders they told about the incident say they have been seen before by others.

I’ve floated much of the Buffalo with friends numerous times over the past 20 years but we never had such an experience. Having said that, it doesn’t surprise me that someone could have such an experience as it truly is surrounded by vast and dense forest. It’s a great river to float though as each twist and turn offers a totally unique and amazing view and the fishing can be awesome. A weather radio is a must as the river can rise very quickly and be impassable during a rain storm. In the past, people have been swept off of gravel bars during the night while camping.

Great story. So many similar stories it makes a person wonder

Thanks for your excellent story, Chris!

Hey Chris I grew up camping and Hunting all my life in WA State and my brother and I had some Scary incidents while hunting and Camping, but watching your videos makes me want to Start hiking, love your videos!

Wow! All the stories are good but this one in particular was very compelling and scary as all get out. Talk about feeling it. Great job conveying the setting & the situation so well! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hi Chris. Thanks to the Man and his Son for sharing their Story. I was glad to hear it when you said they went to retrieve their Sidearms. I was starting to wonder. Anyway, Thanks for retelling their Story Chris. You are Lucky to live in such a Beautiful part of the Country.👍👍

Thank you Chris for another wonderful story. I just love these and you are a great story teller. There are so many sightings and experiences, has to be Sasquatch out there and a lot of them. Thanks again.

I fish the Buffalo about 20 years ago and camped had a great time we walked the Buffalo and fly fished. It's close to the state line of Missouri in the heart of the Ozarks beautiful place to go visit. Just north of there I did a lot go Turkey hunting.

Great story and adventure! Thank you for sharing!

This was a great one. I can n have watched you for hours

Thank you Chris. I always look forward to your stories! 😮

Another great story with a great view 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I spent my 20s and 30s floating and camping the lower Buffalo almost every weekend. Holidays we would put in on fri and come out on Monday at the fork of the Buffalo River and the White River. That trip is complete wilderness, no roads in or out. The only thing we ever worried about was not to float under trees because of snakes. Never had problems, the black bear will never bother you unless your a threat to cubs, then a momma bear is dangerous, just give them space. Now my grown children float.

Hey there Chris, loving your stories. K.H. xx

Great story, very suspenseful. Do you not scare yourself as you tell these stories? Like if you hear a branch cracking or a loud noise?

I heard the melody of a woman singing softly in the seep woods three different times and days on same trail. U just could almost make out words but not. My dog would stop and listen everytime and look the direction I could hear it coming from.

Awesome Awesome Awesome as always Chris. Scary encounter those two men may have not felt it at the time, but I think they are truly brave. They didn't panic and that's a very good thing. You're super awesome at telling these stories Chris. I haven't found one that can compare to you. Thank you for sharing these amazing encounters. Thanks again for all the hard work and time you put into these awesome videos. KEEP ADVENTURING GOD BLESS YOU 🤗HUGS🤗

Great campfire story telling.. I will play these around our family campfires for fun.. thanks so much Chris

Found your channel last week, these are awesome!

Hey Chris great story love that you Rock 👍❤️✌️💪🏻🙏🏻

Hi Chris

Your memory of the the stories you tell are spot on you dont hv to read or anything you just remember all the details....great story..

Thanks Chris, love the creek and story site! A very scary experience! Thank you for telling it!❤

Chris there is such authenticity to the stories you tell, I have no doubts that most are real encounters with a tremendous creature we do not understand. I have spent a lifetime hunting and hiking in the forests of Colorado, Wyoming, Michigan and Taiwan. I feel blessed to have only encountered bears and lions! I hope that I never have a monster story to share with you, but stay tuned as this year's hunting season approaches...

Making me want to get up in the mountains. Live by the cottonwood canyons in Salt Lake City. So roads still closing down during the day for landslides, wet slides and avalanches. 903” for the year at Alta ski resort.

Wonderful story thanks Chris

Chris, another great story. Thank You 🇺🇸

I love when you say, "That's next." It's so suspenseful!!

Awesome as usual Chris I live in Arkansas and am not far from both stories from here you have done. Very familiar with Mena hope to do some research there in the future.

Really good story tonight, Chris. Scary!

Most eerie one yet! Wow!

Another AMAZING experience that shows how docile these beings truly are. Those creatures could have had a feast and no one would be the wiser, but, that is not their intent. I truly believe they only harm if harmed first…and that they have deep empathic connections to everything in nature !! Thanks for taking the time, everyone! 🕊️

YAS! A NEW ONE FROM CHRIS! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Not even listened yet; but, AM❤🎉🎉🎉

A father and son just disappeared kayaking in Arkansas two months ago, Chuck and Charlie Morris. They recovered their bodies April 10th.

I loved that story! The older I get, the more time in the mountains, the stranger the sounds become. Just as long as everyone out there stays safe and comes back, its an adventure🤙

That's why we always bring, starting next time, claymore mines and set them up around the back of the camp with air pressure proximity switches. We've lost half of our neighbors when testing so we know the setup works. A few beers make testing a lot more fun.

I’ve heard strange sounds while hiking a trail on the Buffalo with friends. Something followed us on the ridge above the trail we were hiking.

Whoops! Whoooopp!!🙊🙉

Hello my friend I've been trying to catch your videos each week but sometimes I'm a little late. I love the video thanks again.

When you think you're the only ones out there, then something out of "Deliverance" finds you!

I love your stories and look forward to them. You have such a fantastic way of making them come to life

Thank youuuuu! ❤❤❤

You find the most interesting beers! I really enjoy your channel. The videos are well done visually. Well edited. I like the sound effects, the films of Bigfoot sightings, story telling, information on hiking and camping, and much more. I imagine your channel will continue to do well. You’re format is unique. You aren’t just reading submissions; you’re recounting the stories dramatically. The interviews are interesting too. I’m streaming all the videos!

You should do a real story weekend at a state park sometime.... would be so fun

Another great story Chris so scary 😮😮😮 xx

We moved to a small rural town in SoCal in the early 70's, I was 6 and our new house was on a bluff overlooking a river and riverbed. My bedroom faced the bluff & river. At night I'd hear people screaming in the riverbed, it was terrifying, so I'd wake up my parents. After some time, my mom, being tired of my nonsense, decided to sleep in my room. Sure enough, she woke up to screaming. It was a very active group of screech owls who lived on the bluff and came out at night. It took awhile, but I began to enjoy their "music."

Thanks Chris. That's really terrifying! Don't you feel like you are being watched lol! Search out a encounter from rocky mountain house in Alberta some logging guys had to defend themselves with chainsaws from Sasquatch! Stay safe.

Great story telling Chris. I enjoyed the story .

Really enjoyed this one!!!!

Awesome video, again!

These stories are so cool! I almost really want to see one of these creatures for myself.

I heard this recently on another channel 2, how terrifying. Thx

So much we don’t know huh? Always gut instinct, never fails. Thank you for sharing 😇

Excellent story!!! Really enjoyed it!!! I loved that part "from their side of the river" ..... meaning the source of the noise is moving toward them. Their options??? Get out of there as fast as possible... which they did...... Now, they didn't get a call back because anyone that lives around there already knows. Here's a story for you... 2008 ice storm, leaves still frozen on the trees in Lunenburg Massachusetts.... delivering newspapers in the middle of the night.... pull up a driveway, notice what looked like a small weeping willow tree in front if me, that tree wasn't there yesterday... I turned away to get the paper to put it in the paper tube... I look back in time to see the "tree" slowly moving sideways behind the house. I noticed a smell like wet dog and unbathed human... I backed out of there, called the police, told them "your gonna think I'm crazy but..." I relayed my experience... The policeman told me "you're not crazy, just get out of there and finish your deliveries after sunup"..... I listened to the man. In my 10 years of delivering there every night, that only happened once, but once was more than enough!!

I wish you could do more of your talking on phone with theses people in these stories. Btw, you are awesome! From Wisconsin!

Thank you Chris !!!
