My ENCOUNTER in the Tahoe National Forest! BIGFOOT? | My Story 

Thanks Chris for the weekly posting. Up early on the west coast living on my 71 yr old trawler at the age of 63. Cheers!

When it gets to Saturday I always think, oh good , it’s Base Camp Chris tomorrow. Your story telling style is great, and I always look forward to your show, it has been part of my week for quite some time now. Keep up the good work 😊👍

Yep, we know that sound for sure. It goes up like a siren, holds for about 8-10 seconds, then it climbs down with a growl at the end. We heard two of them, possibly hunting, in Washington. Once you hear it, you never forget it. That was the only time I've ever been so scared I couldn't make myself move.

Bigfoot was doing the drunk walk and turn test, LOL!😂. Awesome story Chris….thank you

The shape of that lake even looks like a huge bigfoot track !

Hey Chris, I own an old mountain home with two cousins and a brother in Sierra City, our grandfather was a gold miner born in 1886 and he and my grandmother met at the Blairsden Hotel way back in the day and married and made their home in Sierra City. I have been all over the Lakes Basin region, up on top of the Sierra Buttes and I will honestly say, something is there that defies all explanation! I heard some people had made some audio tapes of a possible Sasquatch conversation, very interesting! I have heard many strange sounds over the years!👍

Hey Chris, we always compliment your storytelling. I, personally, had multiple experiences when I was younger. I've kept quiet for decades. Cheers. 🍻

I was camped well outside Sumpter Oregon in the Elk Cap area. I was at the farthest end of a road near a gate. There is hundreds and hundreds of square miles of national forest into John Day area. Undeveloped swath of about 1/3 of the state. Im just below 3800 ft the edge of a steep thick forrested hillside of white fir, alpine fir, blue spruce hillside No one around. Im in my chair at camp, sunny peaceful very still summer day when a Hollow, echoing tremendous bang occurs. It had to be an eight or ten inch diameter log swung basebal-bat-like full whallop against a standing tree. No snapping branches before or after. I stood to see if any commotion could be seen but nothing. It came from the steep hillside across a narrow ravine. I saw nothing, no more episodes. It was an interesting deal because I remembered that 19 years ago, the only other time id been in that area i was camped at the farthest Forest Service Campground on Phillips lake in my RV. I was with a friend who wasnt as experienced in the outdoors as myself. Ive seen amd heard all the animals of the northwest. Heard a wolf high in the Salmon La Sac area....wow, that was a thrill. Anyway, we went out to look at the stars when as soon as we opened the door a hideous screaming laugh-like sound, like a banchie siren....just creepy, very loud, very sharp and seemingly quite nearby. I said it was most likely an owl.....but to be honest i wondered if maybe a cat of some kind, i tried to downplay it but that was a CREEPY noise. It wasnt from a human, too much power. Ive heard screaming cougars before. I told myself it was likely a bobcat, maybe in heat. Anyway, my only time in life to hear that particular sound......then 19 years later an echoing, reverberating, powerful smack of a tree onto a tree with more force than gravity could provide.....hmmmm

Chris seems so fearless sleeping deep in the woods and by himself. I've done it several times, but I'm a little more sketched.

Ooohhhh fire towers! I’m looking forward to those videos!

Good Morning Everyone! 👋😁 from Brooklyn, NY.

That one picture of the lake looks like a giant footprint, coincidence?!

Good morning ! Love seeing a brand new upload fresh in the A.M. from basecamp Chris!

What a treat Chris, thank you. And that lake looks like a bigfoot foot, lol.

Wow,whatever made that print must have weighed more than an average human being.Look how deep the impression is!

Coffee and Chris on a Sunday morning!

Wild how the lake itself looks like a footprint

Yay! A Base Camp Chris story! I look forward to these every week. Keep them coming!!

Great storyteller, Chris. As I enjoy my morning coffee in a San Diego Park I imagine Bigfoot jogging on the nearby harbor tributary. Funny how one's imagination works.

That is crazy!! Cryptid creatures come in all sizes. Thanks Chris for the great entertainment!!

Happy Sunday everybody!!!😊❤🎉

Love your stories like seing people just happy in life enjoying life making money telling stories on you tube what a world we live in huh bet i dont gotta tell you sure u never expected this is what youd be doing with your life when u were young what a time to be alive

The depth of the footprints is crazy.

Hey Chris! You have some great plans for camping this year! I'm looking forward to enjoying those as a part of your audience. I took a spell where I was concerned about our country and fell down a couple of rabbit holes. I learned that all of us praying for our country and a God who hears us is keeping us safe. I've decided to treat myself and just relax and enjoy my friends, so I'm back. Always love hearing your storytelling and the encounters you share.

I listened to every word of your story. Felt like i was there experiencing all that you mentioned. Thanks.

I wish there were more trail cams put up around the places with the most activity! I would love to see an actual picture of what’s out in them there woods! We KNOW that park rangers have knowledge they can’t share. It’s a fascinating subject for sure. It will be interesting to see if you have anymore encounters in your upcoming camping adventures Chris! Stay safe lol 💜

CHRIS, I just noticed your subscriber count... Wow. You are knocking it out of the park. I look forward to more stories, interviews and some cooking. Especially interesting to me are your actual phone interviews. Keep up the good work and congratulations on your subscriber base.

One of your best stories, Chris. I have always been a skeptic about Big Foot, but you are changing my mind. 😂

Just looove your setting Chris!! And ur show😬😬😬❄️☃️

Hi chris ! Wanted to let u know , this area is the one in the lower 48 where the most people disappear, also Yosemite area , then alaska. Stay safe when youre there, atleast as safe as u can bub 😁👍

Yes apes do stomp in place. I think when they get excited. You are so brave. I would have been so scared. Stay safe out there. 👣

WOW! Thanks for sharing your story! I was glad you talked about the fear factor and I wonder HOW THE HECK you kept it together...and even got out of the tent. Eeeek! I've always thought I would want to see a bigfoot. Now I don't know. I live in Washington State near the Mount Baker National Forest. It's so rugged and wild. I think it would be ideal bigfoot territory. Lots of deer and elk. Humans are kept somewhat contained by the sheer ruggedness.

I LOVE 💕💕💕 this channel and the way you tell stories. I love the way you added in the sound effects in now. I go into the woods turn on your stories and sit by the fire pit. That is the emerse yourself type story telling adventure.

I really liked hearing your story, and I can't wait to hear the other one! I was thinking that probably a lot of people might come across those footprints and just try to normalise it in their minds, like, yeah, it's perfectly normal that a child should be walking alone, barefoot, out in the middle of the woods, while it's raining. 🤪

Animals have super balance. A bear can stand on a wire fence and not even waver.

Awesome story mate! Thank you for sharing! :)

That was an interesting story. I look forward to your stories every week. Thanks!

Hey Chris! When I was 12 (a good guess) we were hiking around Wapiabi caves, this is Alberta Canada. I remember we seen some barefoot tracks in the mud, middle of nowhere. Very large tracks. I took a photo with the disposable camera I had with me but it didn’t turn out. The risk you take! Haha! I have the memory but no proof. Love your channel!

Good morning, Chris, I'm a new subscriber, and have been enjoying many of your past postings over the past couple of weeks. I cannot tell you how much I've been enjoying your amazing accounts. Today's beer, Trail Pass Golden from Sierra Trading, sounds really good. I like beer that tastes like champagne. And today's accounts of your experiences are fascinating! Thanks for helping us look outside the box.

Gee Chris, why doesn't Jeanine go camping with you sometime? That would be fun! I definitely believe that the footprints that you found are indeed Bigfoot's! 👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣 Keep Hiking Chris!

Hi Chris,nice clear prints. The picture of the lake looks like a big foot🤷🏼‍♀️.

Thank you Chris for all the work you put into your weekly stories. Top notch!!!!

Thanks again 👍Love getting the early posting out here on P.E.I. There is a video of a sasquatch from here taken by some film students. It looks quite real to me

We’re always looking forward to your videos Chris! ❤

WOW Chris! That's so scary, how you have the courage to go outside your tent after hearing those noises is beyond me. Looking forward to Dr. Meldrum's report on those footprints. KH!

Chris I have the same exact heater...they are awesome.. Another great story Chris. I have always been on the edge of caution when it comes to Bigfoot...but so many people have had these experiences it does peak my interests. Love your story and look forward to them every Sunday.

Great story Chris, please keep safe there's 74,000 dogman running around out there friend ! No joke , bigfoot really aren't a threat ! Those dogman are evil !

Great story, Chris! Yep, Bigfoot I'd say. I didn't see a physical bigfoot, but I was scared by knocking sounds. It took 40 years, after seeing a video that featured knocking sounds, for me to put it all together. Knocking sounds and telepathic communication. I thought it had to be some kind of illusion.

Thanks for the new weekly story❤ Look forward to your updates😮 thanks Chris & take care & keep hiking😊

Thank you so very much, Chris, for all the hard work you do bringing us such a fantastic program! The encounters are always awesome, and you do such an amazing job making us feel just like we're right there in it with them! And the scenery is always breathtaking. Cheers 🍻 and thank you so much ❤️

Thank you for sharing your encounter Chris!

Wow. This experience you just shared is pretty amazing. No wonder you got more & more curious after seeing something that really can't be easily explained. Also, when you showed that aerial view of the lake where you mapped out the footprints on your computer... did anyone else think that the shape of the lake resembles a right foot?!? Maybe my imagination is going a little overboard. 😀 Great story, Chris. One of my favorites so far!

Wow Chris. Dr. Meldrum's looking at your footprint photos? Awesome. His book, Sasquatch meets Science (may have that title turned around) convinced me these creatures are real.

Another excellent story Chris. You said you "were on the border of concern..." with all the howling and when "it" was outsideyour tent....I can easily say I'd have been paased the border, jumped in my car and gone home! 😂 dont know how you solo camp but glad you share your experiences and those of others. I truly think it was a juvenile bigfoot.

Wow! Thanks for sharing your experience! 🏕️

Thanks Chris From the UK good Story love your voice impressions of Bigfoot 😂

Good morning everyone from Colorado. Early story with Chris! Thanks

Your story is amazing and scary. You are so brave to stay, I would have packed up with the first howl 😂 I love the outdoors, but with as many stories as I've heard, there is most definitely something in the woods! KEEP HIKING 😊

That was a good imitation of a sasquatch howl.

Wow. Well, I figured you must have had firsthand experiences to have such a dedicated channel on the topic. Thanks for sharing. As often as you camp and hike in the mountains, I'd pretty much expect it. Right now I have task lights, small flashlights, and a great multi-light headlamp for my camping experiences coming up. I'm going to add a strong bright light that goes deep in the night... for just in case.

Great pictures, Chris! Thank you for sharing this, cheers!

I’m rolling on the floor laughing at you sticking your arm in the fire!😂😅😃

Always a joy listening Chris and this was extra special with your own account. I think once you have truly experienced Bigfoot you are a believer and a fan. Thanks for sharing.

I almost fell out of my chair laughing at the hot stove feedback. Cheers.😂

I find Lassen to be a really disturbing area. Same with Shasta. Even when it’s sunny, it’s spooky.

Good to see you again Chris! This is such a treat every Sunday you have amazing stories. I am amazed at your story. You really had me on the edge of my seat! Lol. Coming from you makes this story excitable and intriguing. I have to say that you are one courageous guy and fantastic story teller! Can't wait for the next one!!! Stay safe ❤

This was extremely interesting. Thank you as always, Chris!

Chris thanks for sharing your experience. You take care!

Great story. Love the early post 🦍🤠

😮 Chris, when are we gonna see you over here in the UK? We have big scary badgers, and in north wales, where I am, the occasional dragon!

Nice. I have been waiting for this one!

Great story Chris! You are getting good at imitating the Bigfoot sounds :)

Thanks for this one Chris! I really enjoyed it!

I am excited for more gear reviews. My 13 year old son and i are avid backpacking fans. Lately i don't let him watch your channel because i don't want him to be afraid of the woods.

Interesting stories Chris. When you start back on your hiking trips, please put those sites on your checklist! But be safe! Scary even!

Great story Chris enjoyed that buddy thanks

Thank you Chris for another entertaining and informative story telling video. You never disappoint. 😊
