I was born and raised in Anchorage and I am half Athabascan Indian from Chitina in the Copper river valley area. Something I immediately noticed is that you guys were putting those cameras and screws on the trees with your bare hands. Those Kol"Eni Or "Bush Indians" as my people call them in our Ahtna region will smell your human scent all over those screws and trail cam. Your scent is totally alien to nature. It will know exactly where your equipment is by scent alone. I think you need to go quite a bit farther away from your cabin and stay out there during the night if you want to capture good footage and disguise your scent while you do it. My mom was the President of the Chitina(About 250 miles out into the bush from Anchorage.) board and I lived out in Copper center for a year. So we traveled back and forth from Anchorage to Chitina probably 50+ times and we would stay the weekends in Chitina. In all those 20 years or so of travel back and forth to Chitina my Grandma Rose Goodlataw who was born and raised in Chitina, and my ancestors always spoke of the "Bush Indians" and I never believed these Boogie man stories until one night almost 30 years ago when late one summer night the mother of my child Venessa(A white woman) and I were driving over the Copper river bridge and Bang, we saw it!! It was down below us about 50 feet and about 150 feet away and it was taking salmon out of the fish wheel. It looked up at us for a moment realizing it had been seen out in the open and just stared up at us for a couple seconds. Then it took off like a race horse and disappeared into the forest. The Bush Indians are known to be bigger, stronger, have sharp teeth and claws, and kidnap and eat people so I'd be very cautious. Personally after my encounter I won't go out into the Sticks without my bts-12 Semiautomatic gas-fed 12 guage shotgun and 10 round magazine and I keep it loaded with solid steel slugs. I also have bear mace, people mace, a 3 foot machete, and an ar-15 in my Suv for backup. I'm 6'2 and about 275lbs and built like a defensive lineman and I know I would have absolutely no chance against one of those 8+ foot tall creatures I saw that night. Just want to add- The Kol'Eni "Bush Indian" in my Ahtna Indian land is not the "Harry and the Hendersons" type of Bigfoot(Although I hate that term.) and is a sub-species or distant cousin to the other Sasquatch. Some call the species up here in Alaska and parts of Canada(There are a lot of Athabascans in Canada. Apache, Navajo, and Athabascans are the same people and speak the same language..we just migrated apart long ago.) the GENOSKWA. My grandmother Rose Goodlataw and our Eagle clan know these creatures to be pure evil and man-eaters. 2,250 people vanish in Alaska every single year, which is ridiculous considering we only have 600 something thousand people. So basically more than 1 in every 300 of us disappears into Alaska every single year.
You have no chance standing against them when armed ,they might try to harm you and if you shoot they will kill you Sasquash are friendly to the spiritually awaken, but it always starts scary regardless Those guys are brave for sure Big foot knew they were there And took a liking because they played the flute They can even smell the rubber boots in the moss Lol
I think the team should return this summer with a revised plan. the one mistake i see made is that everyone spooks the second their hear an odd sound, when outside of shelter at night. The best tactic is to quietly acknowledge it and resume activity. If you hear something *snap* your fingers quietly once each to acknowledge you heard something* and immediately resume whatever youre doing. I'd say go even further and everyone make a specific quiet sound that is unique to each teammate. when you have a visual the person is allowed to make their specific subtle-noise quietly on repeat. no yelling. do not spook the kol'Eni; make it still curious. if everyone sees a visual, then all of you should be muttering quietly, moving slowly. the team needs to practice these scenarios to nail the act under pressure. Enjoyed the video, keep up the good work
That was a fantastic documentary!! It's dangerous to go kayaking in waters that cold when you don't know what your doing. Ron is very lucky that he wasn't alone. That could have had a different ending.
Alaskan here, the story's I hear about the hairy man is crazy. Also, deer are not on the peninsula, only in Kodiak and Sitka, Alaska. It is always entertaining to watch people not accustom our land, explore our land and see the amazement of our forest, land, and wildlife.. Our life is beyond blessed to live this daily..
I've had a few others suggest that as well. Definitely a possibility for some of them. Others sounded quite a bit louder, especially like the ones we heard that night in the beginning of the film, those were very loud knock like sounds coming from the woods. It's hard to say though exactly what it could have been, but we appreciate the comment and suggestion!
@@SmallTownMonsters yes definitely agree not all noises fit the otter thought. However, as much as I believe BF EXISTS. I'M also able to agree Not all things are BF.
I think placing glow in the dark objects on the beach and in some other “strategical” areas that are visible from cabin/upper fire pit at night would of been a good, low maintenance tactic. IMHO All of a sudden, the glowing ball gets picked up and all u see is that its coming towards u….fast! 😂😳🤯 Gonna need some new drawers… Awesome footage! Big Ups to everyone involved in this project! Especially the owner! What an amazing piece of property! Ty guys
Brilliant documentary. No exaggeration, no hyperbole and no wild assumptions. Cannot wait for you guys to return and get a host of thermal and pictorial evidence.
@@DefinitelyFake Their existence will never be "proven" real nor will anyone ever be able to obtain irrefutable evidence, beyond whats already been documented, but those who've encountered them don't need scientific proof bc they already know. Ppl just need to accept there are things in life we aren't meant to know... not yet anyways...
I’m so glad you guys just show what you find. It’s not sensationalized or overacted. You just film the trip and expedition and share your findings. Great work!
Thank you guys for doing what you do . I feel like a part of the gang when you let us come along on the adventure with these videos. Your hard work does not go unnoticed.
Thanks for the kind words Jeff! We love hearing that folks feel like they're along with us for the ride. That is definitely something we hope to accomplish!
Eli, Whatcha smoking in that fireside pipe? Maybe offer to share with the Forest Folk to get them to chill out? (If it's a heavy Sativa don't share!) Remember, puff, puff, pass. Don't bogart the cabbage!
Try hanging a glass prism up about 9ft high, about 100ft from the cabin or an area you have a clear line of sight from your shelter area and point a high power laser at it at random times of day and night to see if you can get reaction of some sort and catch distortions on video of things
Great job on both part 1 & 2. Your cinematography is absolutely awesome. Please keep doing what you’re doing. Can’t wait for the next one. Five star documentary ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I would love to see the teams split into two, and one camp while the other stays in a boat, changing locations each night round the bay. To get both perspectives would be great.
I also wonder why more teams don’t play gorilla vocals or other primates such as bonobos to try and get a response. Think it would be awesome. The pheromones idea - perfect.
The one recommendation I had for the guys was that we should take the big boat out to the mooring and tie off and have somebody spend the night out there. If anything else it would given a different perspective. We never got around to that somehow…
Thought the sasquatch could of at least been at the water's edge waving you off lol.Amazing scenery & interesting audio.They're so elusive & highly intelligent.
At 10:59 in video a rock flies past the window with very fast with tons of spin on it... right after you say we're gona hang out ans see if anythn comes down 😂@@SmallTownMonsters
Don’t sea otters use rocks to break open clams/mollusk? Could be a possible reason for some of the rock on rock noise, considering echoes etc , making it sound like it could be coming from the tree line.
@@DefinitelyFake that cabin where they filmed was attacked multiple times that's why they're filming there, if Natives know about these creatures I believe it, they've been on this land thousands of years and way more familiar with nature than a scientist who wants to be God!!
53:02 I’ve heard that noise camping recently. It happened 3 times from one spot then one time from a different position and another from even closer to us. Then randomly at 12am there was one more. It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. We were miles into the national forest in an area we’ve had lots of other weird things happen.
Too many cultures in the world independently have BigFoot(We call it Almasti) stories, even isolated ones, on different continents... Like, my grandmother was from a very isolated small tribe from Caucasian mountains, and she was telling my stories how she and her mother saw a female BF in a corn field. It was the early 1900s.. My uncle( huntsman for 20+years) saw something that looked like a BF in the CentralAsia mountains several times. Once, it entered their cabin at night while he and his 2 friends were having rest at night. It checked out the food leftovers on the table, then looked at three 3 sleeping men for a while and left the cabin. nonetheless, .. there're always animals in forests, and stones always fall from cliffs, branches constantly break and fall. So I'd like to see more videos than audios.. we have jackals making Baby-crying sounds, idk if you have them in Alaska
Catching and eating fillet fish my whole life in south Florida I wouldn't show this video to an islander! Or a Skunkape Lol! It looks like a good time!
That knock sound, sounded like a rock hitting a tree. You figure if they throw them they can't all fly true. Keep up the good work guys. I love your videos. 👍🙏✌️
Funny how all things happen until the film crew arrives. Then nothing. No whooping or rock throwing. No nothing. Or it happens when the cameras are not rolling. Maybe it's because there's nothing there
I can’t afford to become a member yet BUT as soon as I’m back to work and everything’s caught up, I will definitely be joining your channel. I enjoy that you guys don’t scream and make a ruckus at any noise you hear. Absolutely amazing and definitely worth watching. Thank you!
Another beautiful video! The scenery is unbelievably gorgeous! Scott, his family and friends are so blessed to have such a wonderful sanctuary to retreat to. Again, you all do a great job with filming and editing. I am glad you got to go there and film the nature and wild life. Thank you so much and thank you for sharing!
I was born and raised in SE Alaska. Those mysterious gun shot noises sounded like humpback whales breaching. First time I heard it I was hunting by myself in a remote area. Scared me pretty good until I saw the whale breaching and a few seconds later the noise reaching me up the hill I was hiking.
Have been waiting for this premiere more than any other with you guys, part one was by far my favorite documentary you guys have done, hope part 2 doesn't disappoint either. Alaska, is the absolute coolest place ever
Outstanding Film, I am looking forward to you going back and seeing what you capture! You caught some amazing audio! Oh, and no way Ravens were throwing those rocks, Lol! That is nuts!!
I would like to see someone play a bunch of the recordings for some apes to see how they react. Maybe even the Sierra sounds. I have heard dogs and cats freak out over different recordings.
Nice work guys. Only suggestion: Mount cameras 15-20 feet up on the trees and angle looking downward above game trail. This will help mask scent and reduce long range IR illumination. Best trail cam pics to date are from up high.
Absolutely incredible, amazing movie guys, i loved every second of it. I also subscribed to your channel, i love watching sas explores, especially in alaska or canada
Thanks for having this journey, in future can you consider "asper National Park" in Canada, recently a man named Andrew Dawson died after he had reported something strange in the peak of mountains in National parks. He suddenly vanished according to locals authorities.
Corvids are EXTREMELY smart birds. They consist of; Ravens, Crows, Rooks, Jackdaws, Jays, Magpies, and Nutcrackers. They develop VERY strong family bonds with each other with young often helping parents rear chicks. They are also fascinated by bright shiny objects such as marbles and will often "cache" them. I've been in the avian field for nearly 30yrs now having worked "hands on" with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey. Ravens and Crows are also excellent at learning human words and with clarity on par or better then many known parrots. So it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Ravens were the culprit of these rock drops. They are large birds at 24-27in with about a 4.5ft wingspan weighing in around 2.5lbs. And their beaks are very sharp and large so lifting a good size rock wouldn't be a problem for them at all.
Think about the woods as your living room, wouldn’t you notice something new in YOUR house? If that helps w the trail cameras. Not that things are not seen or found on trail cameras, but it’s few and far btwn for that reason!!
If I ever get to go to purported Bigfoot territories I wanna go all out. NVGs, trail cam, recorders, guns ( just in case) and a steel resolve to walk in the direction of the hooting and whatnot that they make.
Also to point out that Bigfoots usually migrate in the winter where food is more plentiful. Sound also travels long distances in the mountains. So it may be farther away than expected.
Man these boys just went on an epic vacation that’s all ,not an investigation. There’s gotta be something out there , when you do these investigations look for weird lights in sky too
1:02:24 "MmMmMmMmm , you jus gotta accept it dude" Eli sounds like he speakin from experience lmaooo 🤣🤣 id go to this place an even if nothing happened, jus being there would be heaven.,.. you guys are lucky to have been there.. if you go there again try some Bigfoot vocalisations.. im very surprised that you guys didnt do this in part 1 or 2.. any hoo.. i enjoyed both parts an im glad i found your guys page.. see ya next time 🤓🤓👋👋 p.s "destructive hands of humanity.." well said.. humanity is the earths cancer..
@@SmallTownMonstersif you type up art bell on periscope big foot sounds there’s a fantastic radio phone with a group of scientists discussing big foot recordings. Well worth checking out.
I really enjoyed y’all’s adventure with the Sasquatch! Yes there are there and they live underground 🖐🏼👍🏼 It’s a beautiful place , but yes we wonder about the neighbors 🤠From Texas
I worked in Alaska for about 7 months, everyone hunts it's just part of the culture. I would occasionally ask the locals if they had ever seen or know anyone who had seen a Bigfoot. They would usually just laugh and say no!
In the Swedish Homeguard we have been equipped with a perimeter alarm based on a series of motion sensors calibrated to detect bipedal movement. Maybe something for you guys to look into?
It looks like you guys actually filmed one at 1:13:53 .. two red glowing eyes behind a log and it looks like its laying down peeking it's head up looking at you. The figure looks like its laying to the left if you're looking at the log. Def a dark figure. There's even a knock right from that direction as you're filming. I saw it the first time I watched this documentary and had to come back to see if what I thought I saw is what I thought I saw lol.. I'm convinced thats one laying behind that log.. you pan to the left of the glowing eyes and then there's a knock from right there and you pan back right. It's in the center of the frame at the time stamp I posted above
And that's how people become statistics. Fortunately you were rescued. 👍 I'm from Sitka,Ak and never use kayaks. Never underestimate weather and water conditions. "Sucker holes" = A seemingly calm sunny day that turns crappy real quick. Always take a change of clothes and survival gear. Glad you made it!
Something to consider when setting up trail cams etc is to try to conceal the human scent on the items, if it's a thing for deer hunting I'd imagine anything else might share the same senses
I dont want to disclose where I was. I also dont solo camp anymore. But in my early years that would be early 9ties. Camping was the thing. Yes as you might guess. One night after fishing all day and into evening. Turned in for night partially to sleep. Started with thumps on top of tent and to one side. Then realized it was small rocks. I thought it was people from a group across small lake. I yelled out, stopped for a bit. Then a bigger rock hit. Finely pissed I open zipper looked around. Not 10yrds yep there it stood. In total disbelief. I'm can't think what I see. Can't be real. You just read about them in ghost stories and stuff. He was a large Male for sure big head broad shoulders. So what do I do. I go get the stringer of fish. Toss it to him. Should have known another one stepped out knocked me about 20yrds into lake. So yeah when Indian talk about certain things sightings the quest is real. But please dont go out if you dont have high knowledge of the Bush. This is a high level survival
Without a doubt they are there the cameras with the infrared and all that stuff just does not work 99.99% of the time if you were to get in a great big tree with a harness slide up it with a thermal you would find what you're looking for there watching you everyday doing everything you're doing God bless take care
This is an awesome series. You guys did great work here. As a young veteran I would love to get into contact with the owner of that cabin share war stores and see the beautiful area up there. You guys definitely earned a sub!
This was really awesome this is a site that was just beautiful I tell people all the time the world is huge and we only seen a tiny part of it thanks for the video
My understanding is, the alaskan coastal sasquatch is the most aggressive and territorial. Noting the town of Portlock, AK, where there were documented disappearances. I theorize that Alaska may be their "summer home". Possibly even reflecting generational behavior left over from the ice bridge from Siberia. Well done, gentlemen.
Just idea why not use 3 mic. in triangle form 5m or 10m distance i guess, will built easy with 3 HQ mic and adruino with Wifi to phone app or laptop to triangulate from where sound come and then you will check with drone 🤔.second idea try to mask better photo trap lice rock or peace of wood (always camera watch camera) . third use low tech device-trap old photo 📸whit cord some researcher say big foot see infra red or what light use photo trap
Great work, guys. Truly fascinating stuff. I have a small suggestion. Two, actually. Cover your scent... and bring apples. Lots of apples for 'gifts'. These guys can smell you coming a miles away... and that scent permeates everything you leave behind, like trail cams and recording devices. And they do love 'em some apples! Hang a few Granny Smith's in a net bag 10-12 feet off the ground and offer the guy a snack.
I think sasquatch would stay away from a bigger groups like you all. Plus, I think all the electronics would spook them. You all seem genuine. You are brave. That is for sure!!
The thumping that was recorded. Is there a chance that was from the hand print that you discovered? The sound of the metal flexing from pressure being applied could have been that same noise. Excellent documentary! I am very much enjoying your content.
I have noticed in some films where people have watched for animal signs They would spread dry phosphorus across the trails. Then in the evening they could see the trails and tracks at night using fluorescent lights. Try this please.
Phosphorus might be hard to get, wait, you must mean phosphorescent. How about some kind of micro transponder on a sticky paper or tape, like a mouse trap. If they could get that stuck on one of them,,,,,,,,,
Alex and Eli, this was an excellent video and audio capture of wilderness Alaska. Thank you for taking us along with you on your exploration adventure, via this documentary! I'm looking forward to watching your future documentaries!
Could you use pheromones from elk, caribou, moose or anything else native to that area that would be hunted for food? Can you hang fish in front of the cameras? What type of berries are native to that area that you can bring with you for bait? Mirror blinds? Just curious and maybe throwing some suggestions.
Very interesting documentary.Excellent camera work throughout the whole show! I don't know what to make of the possible hand print but either way it's very interesting! As far as location goes I'm pretty sure there are a small number of Sasquatch in or around that area.Alaska is such a HUGE place.I've never been there but I'd like to one day.Anyways great show guys! Very enjoyable to watch.You guys should really consider coming to Nordegg,Alberta Canada.I could take you guys to some pretty interesting areas. The Nordegg area has a huge history as far as Sasquatch in Alberta goes.You guys should consider it. It's a massive area! Not like Alaska obviously but it's very forested and has lots of water resources and food resources! If you never are interested contact me.
Hi Guys , Marie from South Wales UK 🇬🇧 WELL........ This Part 2 was Definitely Worth Waiting For . The Night Times are So Spooky you just Don't Know what is Going to Happen Next . Stay Safe Out There , just Love your Adventures, they are Awesome. 😲😲👣👣👣👣👣👣💖
