Survivorman Bigfoot | Episode 1 | Alberta | Les Stroud | Todd Standing 

Decided to revisit and Binge watch these all over again. I would Love for Les to do another season of this, It's the best Bigfoot show ever made in my Opinion 👣👣👣

Les, many years ago I was in hospital having had mental health issues. I have been a fan from day one! When I came out of hospital I had a tattoo done of Ur logo to remind me to fight on no matter the odds, as u teach!! Thank you for being so honest and real.

When I was a kid, my parents raised me in the country about 15 miles away from town. We lived on a private 140 acre lake. During the summer my buddy and I "without parents" would catfish a lot. One night we probably fished til midnight then started walking back up to the house; which was around 600 yards from lake. About half way up I heard a growl from across a field. It sounded just like these deep growls Todd Standing has recorded. Actually it growled at us twice from around 200 yards away. We knew not to run from wild animals, but not that night. We had to carry fishing tackle, poles, and fish straight up a hill. I ran that 300 yards in record time. Ran in and told my dad and he thought we was silly kids. Didn't even listen. Being only 10 my buddy and I had no idea what it was. But I knew it was big. Cause I had a 120 lb. dog that had a deep growl. These growls sounded just like Todd Standing's recordings.

I binge watched survivor man in prison and it helped me survive and get on my feet. Find work, a place to live and it worked!

I absolutely love the Sasquatch Series. Lifelong fan here, I grew up learning from the content that you have produced and your books were like my bible as a teen. You inspire me over and over to pack my gear and get outside searching for adventure. Much love Les, you are a true teacher. Thank you.

i love watching your shows on bigfoot.

Less Stroud is the perfect person to prove or disprove bigfoot. One of the few people who could survive in the areas required for the amount of time required to have a bigfoot sighting.

"Believe in yourself even if no one else does" Bigfoot

I love this. I just found all of the survivorman episodes on RU-vid and became obsessed. Now I find the Bigfoot eps. My summer break just came. Guess who’s watching all these.

You know why he is the best? No ads, he’s purely a simple man with extraordinary skills Les is a baddasss

I love how Les approaches everything with an open mind and uses facts. Not letting his emotions influence his decisions. Awesome!

"i'm a sceptic", hears a sound. "Thats a bigfoot" 😃

I must say until I started watching Les Stroud and the way he goes alone into the wilds I was never a believer in Bigfoot. Then I moved to North Carolina, and I had something happen to me late one night that freaked me out beyond belief. Now, don't get me wrong, Les is the MAN! not sure I could do what he does and has done and keep my sanity. About two month ago in November of 2020 I was driving home with my wife in the Jeep JK on a section of I-85 outside of Kannapolis. The road goes for a down hill section then up again in a mile section with an overpass at 1 mile. The traffic was light just some cars ahead of me a good distance (about 1/4 mile), my brain went nuts and told my right foot to let up on the gas and to say in the second to right lane, then I saw a large bipedal like a person crossing the road in the taillights of the cars ahead. I just did not know what was going on and the distance passed fast at 65 mph, and when I got to the spot a LARGE, tan and harry shape passed by the Jeep in the right lane. I was taller than the Jeep ( I have a 3.5 in lift on 35 inch tires so it isn't small). I freaked me out so much I started shaking and asked my wife if she saw it and she didn't. But, I did and it was terrifying. Now every time I come to that section of highway I look, there are lots of woods and deer get hit quite often, but this was no deer. it was tall and tan and I can see it today as if it happened yesterday. I just thank God I listened to my inner voice, and did not hit whatever it was.

I wonder how many times other Bigfoot hunters woop at each other without knowing it. I'm homeless and disabled. I'm trying to raise money to get a RV for me and my kitty to have some where to live. My video has links to my fundraiser.

Under the topic of Bigfoot, my experience was back in 2001 during late winter up in Catskills, New York. Since was a kid I enjoyed watching survivor man shows and wanted to try several of his own survival skills to learn how to survive in the wild or worse case scenario. So when I lived in Catskills, I went camping solo and pitched my tent and gathered several edible plants around the campsite before night fall. It must have been around 2am mother nature woke me up and I went out of my tent and walked straightly from the door of the tent to cross the little river to do what I needed to do, turn around and cross over the little river and no tent… I returned to where I went and turned around again and crossed again over the little river, no tent. Crossed two small rivers, no tent. I returned to the two small rivers and cleared the island between the two little rivers, even if it was muddy I prayed for protection from the elements around me and laid down to sleep… temperature was about 58°F but dropped down to 34°F, that’s when I felt something 3 times my height lay against my body and hairy. I felt fear at first but then felt safe, warm and didn’t even dare look or check what was laying against my body, so I fell asleep. When I woke up I could see sunlight through the leaves and cold. I got up and checked for paw prints or something like that to know what type of animal was keeping me warm during the night… nothing was found, and the ground was muddy enough to preserve whatever prints but the only prints were from my hiking boots. When I searched for my tent from the island that I slept on I spotted my tent approximately 20ft away. I went back to my campsite and packed up everything and left the woods. I am only 5ft tall and look younger than my age, sometimes people think am a teenager during that time when I experienced Bigfoot, now that am older I still thank G-D for sending me that creature to keep me alive.

“I would like Bigfoot to exist. I’ve met people who swear they’ve seen Bigfoot. I think the interesting thing is every single continent there is an equivalent of Bigfoot or Sasquatch. There’s the Yeti, the Yowie in Australia, the Chinese Wildman, and on and on and on. I’ve heard stories from people who, you have to believe them. So there’s something. I don’t know what it is.” - Jane Goodall

Nothing better then watching Les sitting around a fire at night, listening to his thoughts & the wind thru the trees. Wishing we were out there with him. Mystery just inside the tree line. We need more videos please!!! Great stuff.

Having that OTHER guy out there REALLY hurts the credibility. I trust Les, not the other guy.

*thunder rolls in the distance* Todd: "That. Was. A bigfoot." Les: *side eyes

Les... I love how you treat Tod with manners but still at arms length so your ideas and investigations are not soured. Brilliant video brother....👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

One of my favorite TV series ever (Survivorman too). Too bad it was short-lived. I hope you are doing well Les!

I love how he's skeptical, but respectful to the idea.

7:51 I have personally seen.....trees snapped like that due to weather conditions. it wasn't heavy snow, like you'd think, and it didnt happen all at once or even with a season. we had an ice storm one year and while thay alone cause a lot of trees to fall, it also killed a lot of thinner, younger trees. those trees stood up but were clearly dead....no new growth. then, late the next summer, we get a storm that spawns many tiny funnel clouds, some of which touched down (a EF0, would be the size, though one really cool thing was a scar one funnel left on the field by our place....it left an area about three feet wide and six feet long of sand....fine, beach type sand. no field top soil but sand and only there. stayed like that for years). When that storm came through, that is exactly what the trees looked like. they wouldnt all face the same direction either. I noticed while on the school bus one day that the broken trees almost seemed to make a spinning pattern as we drove down the street (not, to me anyway, indicating a funnel but, instead strong gusts of wind in various directions). odd thing was that they were all snapped at lower heights than you'd think but often above where a human could reach. they would make a semi-clean break, but be still resting on the tree trunk and attached. it seemed the ice froze all the water in those smaller trees and while they were clearly dead, it wasn't until they were snapped over that you could see that there was decay on the inside. they were all spaced out as well. they weren't a close lump of trees.

Thanks for uploading these, Mr. Stroud. Enjoying them immensely! ✌

Les, if you ever make more videos focusing on bigfoot or the supernatural, I have but one request: please spend more time interviewing, speaking to, and sharing the stories of indigenous peoples. I don't believe in bigfoot, but I've consistently found natives' accounts fascinating. I love how you share their stories without dilution or interruption. This is anthropologically worthwhile, and something you should do more of. It shows how people experience and interpret the wilderness, regardless of whether there's something unknown inside of it.

While staying the night in Yosemite National Park with my father back in 2011, I was actually awakened in my tent by what I can only explain was a bigfoot howling and yelling. It was unlike anything I'd ever heard before or heard since, and I know it didn't belong to any known animal in that region or even the world. It was so surreal and unsettling to hear not only something I'd never heard before, but such a haunting sound as well. It lasted for about a minute, but it felt like an eternity. After that night I definitely became a believer. That being said, I am and will always be a skeptic and entertain the possibility that it was either the park or bigfoot hunters playing a recording (either man-made or authentic) to perhaps attract tourism or attract a bigfoot, depending on who was playing it. However, it sounded and felt real, and the experience has both haunted and excited me ever since. It is a night and a sound that I will never forget, and I want to know the truth behind it.

That structure looks like an old hunting/trapping camp. You can see the makeshift rectangular horse corrals that fell down. Would be easy for some woodsman/outfitters to make that structure with multiple horses. Those broken trees are trail markers for when the ground is covered in snow and you can’t see the trail.

NO DAMN WAY. Les finally put this up here. Awesome. I loved it when it came on TV, so that's why I was hoping he'd put it on YT where I could rewatch it. It is not on TV anymore.

"I'm not interested in flirting with conspiracy theories": Launches a 9 episode long series about bigfoot for the Discovery Channel

Les is the greatest thing to happen to TV in history ❤️❤️❤️

*MORE BIGFOOT SHOWS* *THANK YOU LES*

Hello. I'm not sure who from Les Stroud's crew will see this, but I hope they will. In this video, Les actually filmed a Bigfoot or something Bi-pedal moving across the trail behind where he and Todd Standing just left. I first saw it when the Episode first aired years ago, but found it again on RU-vid. The Title is: "Survivorman Bigfoot | Episode 1 | Alberta | Les Stroud | Todd Standing" The context: Les and Todd had just heard and reacted to a whoop sound to their left. After a brief pause and acknowledgement they moved on down the trail. While Les is narrating the camera picks up an image moving from right to left behind him over his right shoulder. Time in the video is 24:10 thur 24: 26. The exact moment is 24:21. Hopefully some viewers will look this up as well.

Oh yeah!! Binge watching me some Bigfoot and Les vids before a 7 day winter hike in the Olympic mountains. Thanks Les! Merry Christmas

I imagine that every “test” whoop they do some camper about 500 yards away leaves everything and runs all crazy off into the woods.

Rewatching these AGAIN! Great stuff.

The tree break thing seems to be Todd’s go to and it’s really not proof of anything so it’s annoying there’s so much focus on it

Yes yes yes ! I’ve been waiting patiently for ages for these Bigfoot series. I didn’t get the chance to see them on the website so I’m so grateful for Les putting them up for us all to see and enjoy. Thanx Les your a excellent teacher and are true to your word. Have a very merry merry merry -🍺🥃 😉 - Christmas and all the best for 2020 !.

Les, please bring this program back... more episodes!

Thank you so much for high quality closed captioning! Another little thing that shows your high quality!

Hi Les. I'm in New Mexico..I'm a former police officer and amateur outdoor and wildlife expert, and last year I went through months of experiences which could have been bigfoot, like wood knocks, large tracks, and something charging me at night in the forest, sounding like a truck driving through, and breaking trees, while doing "wood knocks" in the process, which I actually think may be a chest knock, or some kind of vocalization, since I only got replies to my own knocks when I was able to copy a knock that sounded exactly the same way I've heard many times before. I would like to talk to you, if you find the time.

Would love another season of this

Who else is is happy for Les that GoPros and small power banks make it able for him to move even more remotely while filming it all! Too cool. Thanks for sharing these with us for free, I don’t skip the ads so you make as much $ as possible. You deserve it thanks again.

I listened to/watched this show all day at work today lol.

I remember watching this episode back in 2015. I'm not a Bigfoot researcher but when they were sitting around the campfire at night and they heard the two wood knocks within several seconds of each other and Todd stood up and popped his mouth.... I don't think I would have done that because all that did was let whatever was out there know that Les and Todd were aware of them. I think maybe if they would have sat there and been quiet that whatever was out there might have come in close enough that they could have got a visual on it

That tree structure at 16:00 can absolutely happen naturally. I've been outdoors person all my life and i've worked as a lumberjack for 5 years now (i'm 21 btw), and i see all kinds of strange tree trunk structures in the woods. When the guy asked if les has ever seen a tree trunk upside down like that, it can absolutely happen if there's a lot of trees leaning against each other just like you see in the video. All you need is another tree falling down on top of that structure with a lot of weight and force to lift its butt of the ground. Those kinds of structures are cool and all but dangerous as hell for me as a lumberjack Btw you can clearly see a cut tree stump at 16:32 so when the guy said that the structure is probably 30 years old, it might as well be man made. The tree that is "bent in to the structure", that happens when a bigger/heavier tree falls and starts to lean on another tree. So that is also natural

Come on man, you put out apples but you don't put out cameras???

After finding this channel because of these videos, I must say, great show, really interesting videos and I like the way you're looking for them.

Yay!! So happy you have posted more big foot video!!! It’s my favorite!!! Thanks!!! 👏

Les get more Bigfoot action in one episode then the world got in years.

I could watch these episodes non-stop, Les. Keep em' coming! Can't wait to wrap my head around the rest of this series. "Amazing" is the only word that comes to mind. Thank you!

The picture of the sasquatch with his nose covered by a leaf looks like your companion to me.

Les, this is exactly what needs to be done: Do a completely uncut video (hours and hours long) and hike for days into the deepest of woods. Only then will it prove validity of these bigfoot video.

At 43:52 you both stopped and Todd asked you, "Did You hear that?" and you said you heard it, and he answered and said, "That was a Bigfoot!" the problem I have wit that is you were leading us up to this point and all of a sudden your foot steps in the leaves got so loud, that I did not hear anything at all! This would be the time for you to be as quiet as possible and not as noisy as the 2 of you were! I would have loved to hear what you and Todd heard, but all I heard was the leaves!

I would love to see more of these Bigfoot episodes especially the one while you're alone. Thanks for the uploads.

I love these episodes

Love your approach Les. Always a huge fan of your shows, but one question. Why didnt you set up camera traps at the spot where you dropped apples?

Looking for bigfoot in an ATV on a heavily used road surrounded by logging debris is like searching for it in a shopping mall.

I love the Bigfoot series when I was watching these as a kid I originally thought that Les was going through a mid life crisis moment here but after looking back on it with the shows that were out at the time like Finding Bigfoot the phenomenon was really starting to escalate everywhere. This was also the first series of this to air on the science channel after he left the discovery channel I do believe.

Subscribed and liked to this video... Man, i remember watching les as a young man. Now I'm older, but still wanting to watch les + bigfoot✌

Les your work is absolutely class. Started watching this series a 3rd time. Absolutely brilliant work. 👏 Love your work and what you have done for this genre of entertainment. You definitely are it's father.

Of all the people that put their name in the hat of “Bigfoot”- I guess Les is definitely the one that lends the most credibility to me. Incredibly gutsy to risk putting your name on this. Then to approach it from the way he does is like one should. Makes you think….

I had to sit back and reflect, Les Stroud has lived off - way off grid most of his adult life, made survival videos, wrote books and in all this time never saw a Bigfoot, never heard a 'whoop' or a tree knock, never had so much as a pebble tossed in his direction. And then along comes Todd Standing and all of a sudden there are footprints, dung piles, there's a Whoopin and a knockin, and boulders raining down, there are tree breaks, tree bends, and X structures in every direction, that's when I realized Les has stopped being, "Les Stroud Survivorman!" and has become, "Les Stroud - Anything For A Buck!" ... Whoop, Whoop, Whoop!

I recall Todd stating unequivocally that if people wanted to definitely see a Sasquatch they could pay him for a camping trip and you would experience an interaction with them. Still waiting for some evidence to come forth from Todd.

Some may not realize it but everything Les shared in his deductions supports the fact that Todd is telling the truth. If I spent 10yrs in the wilderness almost dying to get the footage Todd did, I would be pretty passionate about such a discovery as he is. The discovering Bigfoot process is about all of us discovering it for ourselves in our own way. ✌☮

Been following you Les from day one on TV. Love the stuff you produce alone and with your son. I was wondering with apples...why wouldn't you use a game camera pointed at the apples?

Cool! my favorite topic lol;) thanks Les and Todd!

A few years ago, in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey near Batona campground, I was walking the sand roads in the area at night with a friend. We were actually there to film a documentary about the Jersey Devil and try to find evidence. While coming back to the camp, we heard the loudest scream, it scared us. We froze to look around and couldn't see anything. It sounded like a bobcat, at least that's what we thought. We shouted loudly to scare it. That's when we heard extremely loud crashing through the forest, like something very large was running away and breaking large trees/logs. Whatever it was moved quickly and covered several hundred yards in just about 10-15 seconds. We heard it run into the nearby swamp. While we didnt follow it at night, we went back next day and that's when we realized how far it actually went in that short amount of time. We never found any tracks. One of the creepiest moments I've ever experienced.

Next time you go out there, utilize a bone flute. If our ancestors came in contact with them, maybe we should try to imitate our ancestors and retrace their steps

Simply astounding footage @9:49 You can actually see the rawness of it's features. Those eyes are primal. Never seen any footage that even comes close to this, it's just amazing. There's no way for almost every single indigenous clan on earth to have stories about them and there not be something.. The world is much bigger than we could ever imagine I think.

A bird flies off her nest. Todd Standing “That was a bigfoot!” A rabbit runs across the trail. Todd Standing “That was a bigfoot!” Finally bigfoot comes out of hiding and he is 10 feet away and Todd has the 4K camera ready to record and damn wouldn’t you know batteries ran out of juice.🤣🤣

9:45 There is are no shoulders visible in that clip of the sasquatch. It's more like it is a manikin head on a stick. From what I have seen about these animals is that they have massive shoulders. Nothing there. This thing has a really long neck if that is the case.

Les, get with David Paulides and Steve Isdahl and make a Sasquatch documentary...PLEASE!

There's a certain curiosity & innocence in it's eyes that I don't think a human could replicate just the way he looks at todd, that thing is definitely self aware.

Me and my friends built tree structures like that as kids deep in the forest all the time and yes you would be amazed at what kids can move and do

David Attenbourogh on the jonathan ross tv show said they exist,,good enough for me.

Les is the best, great series.

I thought I saw Bigfoot once, but it was only my mother's husband with his shirt off.

24:21 over his shoulder. Something goes across the trail, what is it?

We want new episodes please love watching your show you keep it real thank you for that!!!❤

The Trail cam pics made me a believer. Wait, there aren’t any!!!!!! Come on, really Les?

One of my issues with the "I was in the middle of nowhere, why would someone be there?" You're there, so it's not the middle of nowhere. If you can get there someone else can and there are a lot of humans with a lot of time on their hands lol

Watching these episodes back in the day made me go get two things for when I’m in the backwoods. A camera and a chest holster. Absolutely enjoy watching these

Hey Less ! Love all your stuff this one made me think of something that happened to me Back in 2003 me and my wife were traveling on rural route between VT and New Hampshire. It was mid morning early afternoon when I had pulled off the road to relieve myself where some high power lines crossed the road being that there was a slight clearing where an access road to the power lines started. now just to paint a picture of the desolation of this area there was no dwellings for at least five miles or so of this spot. Anyway as I walked a few dozen feet into the woods so as to not be spotted by a possible passing car I proceeded to go about my nature’s call. when all of a sudden I heard this huge crashing sound like a tree falling A BIG TREE ! Freaked out I turn to look in the direction of this sound fearing being hit when I see that the top of the trees to the right of me are all bending and waving around about 80 feet up as if something had disturbed the tops of a bunch of them. At this I am perplexed ! but continue to finish my business as nothing seems to be falling in my direction I figure at the time that maybe a rotted branch just let go or something not making much more of it till I hear it again ! This time as I see the same sort of thing happening I notice that an object is actually hurtling through these tree tops it thumps to the ground about 12 to 15 feet near me and my blood runs cold as I see it is a fricken Boulder about the size a small beach ball I instantly start yelling HEY there’s Someone in here knock it off ! Just as I hear another big commotion coming through those tree tops again and THUMP ! another Boulder bout the same size ! At this I yell out a bluff out of being scared shitless .....HEY ASSHOLE I’M PACKING A HANDGUN ! CUT THE SHIT ! as I hastily made my way back out of the woods and to my car where my wife is saying what the hell was all that crashing noise who you yelling at ....I jump in my car and peel,out of there quickly saying some jack ass hillbilly throwing rocks at me BIG rocks ! in the heat of the moment I guess I hadn’t been completely able to mentally digest what had really happened till I calmed down and thought it over .....it was scary and just plain weird ! Who the or better yet what the hell Could throw a Boulder though the trees at 80 feet up though a hundred feet of space ? I couldn’t make rational sense of any of it I originally wanted to go with I was maybe trespassing and some backwoods freak was pissed off I was on his land but as I said I hadn’t seen a house in miles and miles not to mention the size and height these rocks were being hurled from it just didn’t fit and it bothered me for years running it through in my mind as to what exactly that was ! ........wasn’t till about 2018 when I was sick with a flu and having much couch time just watching program after program of RU-vid on every and any subject I came across ufo ghost things like that that I’d always found interesting but like yourself skeptical as well however I’d. never put much stock in big foot stuff period ..That was when I saw this video about some campers who were up in the alligash in a row bout and something was growing at the from the shoreline woods and throwing huge rocks at them from a long distance away that I reflected back to my odd experience ...and I must say after looking at the area where this happened on areal google earth and realizing those power lines eventually just keep traveling through woods and mountains till the vast forests of Canada I more and more believe I may have had my own big foot experience ...I never saw a creature or heard any growling or whatever but them boulders WOW ! also the google earth areal view also confirmed there was no home for miles of this location thus destroying my theory of an angry hillbilly ...there was no internet you tube and such in 2003 so it took all these years for tech to catch up with my weird experience and story HOWEVER it still is a huge mystery and may always be but least my optimism in a possible big foot existing and that I may had a personal encounter is just a little more fortified..P.s. I again love all your vids peace !

Can’t wait for Survivorman Pale Crawlers and Survivorman Wendigo

I had very much the same experience in Washington Pa. It is quite a high pucker factor.

My two favorite guys Les and Todd are the real deal

Sasquatch is not an ape but definitely the “hairy man” of legends and lore going back thousands of years and even mentioned in the EPIC OF GILGAMESH as the “hairy wild man of the forest” named ENKIDU.

Les always looks like he just woke up from a nap.

Love watching

I don’t believe Bigfoot exists but I like watching this series because it’s fun and makes my imagination run

Anyone else get the feels when that crunchy bassline kicks in in the intro?

You sir are the real deal

That bigfoot picture is actually chewbacca's starwars audition profile pic

Thank you Les first for the wonderful series, as I talked on my LIVE with my follower on RU-vid, I told them where I saw BIGFOOT (Sasquatch), during my season hunt in this zone and I think it is their living zone. If you are interested in where.!? These are the Coordinates, where I think they are or live .! The exact coordinates are: 52° 30' 14.09'' N 115° 34' 23.38'' W Thx and best regards from Alberta Hunter. ✌🌿🐻🦊🐺🦌💕🌿✌

Thank you for teaching.

I know this area well (live right near here) and I've gone bigfoot hunting with my pup up this road a few times. I find these structures and impressions every time. Some of the tracks they're pointing out as new, though, have an accumulation of dead pine needles in them, which only happens after a longer period of time. I also feel like one of the tree structures they pointed out is newer than they speculate, otherwise the bark of the live standing would have grown around the dead standings to a degree. I'm definitely a bigfoot believer, I'm just not entirely agreeing with their timelines of what they found.

A series about wendigo/skin walkers/other Cryptids like that with a vast history of anecdotal evidence of encounters would be incredible successful and fascinating? I would binge watch a skin walker/wendigo series 100% and I know a lot of others would too.

Have watched before and the commentary ones but love how in his if nothing happens nothing happens watching again!!!!

Thanks for uploading mate! But come on! The ending is leaving me in suspense.

I believe Sasquatch could exist, I have not personally seen or heard one myself. But you’ll never catch me in the wilderness unless Im strapped like Rambo. Id get real chickenshit, especially at night. My mind would play games with me
