@@auralepiphanies4055 Yes, and in one of Chris's stories, the Sasquatch chased people out of their territory, but then rescued the teenager from a log pile that fell on him. More bark than bite?
Only time my husband and I took a wrong turn was in Glacier National Park. We continued on a trail for about a mile and did not recognize anything (we were on the way back to the trailhead parking area). I listened to my gut that said “turn around and head back to correct your mistake”. After a half hour of reversing course- we found where we had gone wrong. The time spent off course gave me a thought that this is how people disappear while hiking. Some times in spite of maps and compass readings, you need to listen to your gut.
Yes- that is a great point to listen to your gut…make the effort to go and get back on the correct route…moving forward with determination does not always work. C
Never leave the trail or wander away from a stream! Be prepared with water, food, protection! Love your stories and hope to hear more content. Your skills telling these experiences are excellent!
By far my most favorite backdrop! I love that type of stream, snaking through the grass, not a 100 ft wide river with rocky shores. This is a dream location. What a place to have a cabin! Thanks for the video, great story :)
I can relate so much-when I was 10-11 I got lost not more than a few hundred yds from my house and got so disoriented and panicked by the same groupings of trees-I luckily sat down and stayed down for a good 1/2 hr before making my mind up which direction to go. I was quite experienced in hiking and camping from an early age but it can happen quickly all the same when you are young. Glad the kid made it out!!!!!
Another good one Chris and thanks for taking us along. I stubbed my toe so I'm not going to go hiking right now😂 I'll catch you down the trail somewhere and be safe❤
I couldn't believe my ears when you said that was _the_ spot! I remember that story, and I remember researching about the whistle too. You are brave! But it's a gorgeous place, I understand why one would want to go back! Great story as always.
As a ex-nurse I can tell you Chris that there are definitely strange things that happen. I don't like calling them stories there more like life events that open your eyes to the fact that there are bad & evil that we can't explain. Know your God. Period.
What a story Chris! This young boy must have been petrified. That's one of my fears about going into a deep forest that I would get lost. You know, by alot of encounters that many people have had, my theory is that bigfoot is not harmful. I think they are territorial and don't like people in their space but they aren't violent creatures. ( hope I'm right). Lol. Safe hiking Chris!❤
@@basecampchris--Yeah Chris--something like that happened to my cousin's, brother & me, & later being in a tent with a hairy arm & hand reaching in trying to grab one of us, namely me! (Mid 70s, Indiana PA; we were between 6-13 yrs). Cops in area later found a giant footprint👣--Anthropologist called in to make a cast which he held up on the local news!
Hi!!! I loved this true story. You always tell them so well!!! You take there, like I'm living what the person is living n seeing what he is seeing n hearing n everything!!! I'm so glad the boy came out alive to tell his story !!!! Thank you for another outstanding story !!! Be safe!!! 💗
Your being back there after that scary experience is really something. You must love the adventure of the unknown. If I were the the boy who went through that trauma, I would never want to be near a woods again, let alone fish along the creek.
This reminds me so much of an experience I had in the Santa Cruz mountains when I was 16. The biggest difference was, when I got to the edge of town and was out of the forest, I was about 25 feet away from this thing. It made sure not to let me get a good, clear look at it. I only saw its eyes and one hand, as it pulled a branch of the conifer it was hiding out of the way of its view. I honestly *never* thought 'bigfoot' (possibly out of fear?) until just a few years ago, when my daughter wrote a book report for school about bigfoot. Heck of an experience.
The heat index down here in Deep South Louisiana is and has been in the hundreds. People’s swimming water is so hot it’s uncomfortable, that stream looks delightful. I can see myself sitting in it.
Yikes, I missed this video from last Thurs!! Glad you are a safe and sensible hiker, Chris, not trying to cross the deep stream is so smart. Great story and great beer as always! :)
Gorgeous area that you hiked to, Chris. I could live there for the rest of my life. I also love the story. I can’t wait to hear the next one. Please stay safe and cool. God bless. 🙏 🤗 😊
I'm always up for one of your stories Chris, love em. While most of your stories find people getting scared by or stalked by possible sasquatch, I don't recall any of them harming the humans. Have you heard of anyone being injured by a squatch? Of course there are the stories of hikers & hunters disappearing without a trace that are intriguing. What about squatch vs. bear stories?
Chris I am a recent subscriber and found your channel one night when I couldn't sleep. I am hooked! I love the stories and the hiking adventures you take. I feel just like I am sitting at the campfire with you. And the beer tasting is great! I have tried some and enjoyed them. Please continue on with the scary encounters!
Poor Todd. Scared out of his wits. Thankfully someone believed him. Good story, Chris. Oy! I wouldn't spend a night in that spot where you had your experience. BF is probably saying to his buddy, "There's that guy again but with a camera." The buddy says, "I don't want to be on camera." It's so lovely there, though.
Another super scary and great story Chris! I'd hate to get lost in the wilderness. 😢 Love your videos, stories, Beer testing! 🍺 Love a good beer with my meal. 👍🥰
Good story .. glad he made it out ok .. terrifying for sure . Just can’t wait for your story’s to be posted . Thank you again Chris for another good video , cheers !
😮 such great story poor kid will remember that experience for the rest of his life, I believe Bigfoot helped him find the creek, 😮. Your experience was amazing was looking behind you at all times seeing if the big guy was caught on camera 😊
Must have been weird that you were at the spot where you had experienced that nite my hat off to you alot of people would not want to some people just need to know what it was that happened to themselves
It happened to me and a friend at 12 hunting mule deer here in Utah. Once seen it cannot be unseen. I'm a career Army vet and lifelong hunter in the Rockies. We don't misidentify, our lives rely on nano seconds of decision. They exist, I honestly am way past who believes or not. I know, John knows and rhe Army absolutely knows as well. 🦅🇺🇸🦅🌲👣👣👣🌲
Thanks for the story and the beautiful background. I lived in Colorado and New Mexico for 26 years of my adult life. Now I live in a beautiful town in New Jersey. I love Jersey, but I miss Big Sky country. Your stories and background provide me with my mountain fix.
Liked and shared on my Facebook. Well done story as usual, chris! Hopefully we get to see some cookouts soon while telling your storytelling even camp outs in a tent. I miss those kind of videos
Awesome Awesome awesome, as always, Chris. This encounter was pretty scary. I'm glad he was able to keep his wits about him as he was trying to find his way out of the woods. Your encounter was pretty frightening itself, yikes 😬 😳. Everytime you tell it, I get chills 😬 😳. This is my favorite RU-vid channel. I love everything about it. Plus when you tell the encounters you make me feel like I'm right there in the middle of it. "Now that's talent." I remembered that place as soon as you started the video. I was like, that's where Chris had his encounter. Was it a different time or was it the same camping trip where you went down to the creek to wash you pans out after dinner and you either heard something or felt something 🤔 maybe you felt like you were being watched 👀. I can't remember. But great encounter and smart thinking with the whistle. I own three of them one for me, my son, and husband. Never know when you may need it. This is the Greatest RU-vid channel ever. Soon you'll be at a million subs. Woo-hoo! I'm so happy to be here with you to celebrate you achievements. So Awesome. Thank you for sharing these encounters and for all the hard work and time you put into your videos. They are truly top-notch. STAY AWESOME KEEP ADVENTURING GOD BLESS YOU 🤗HUGS🤗
You're a national treasure, Chris. I've taken to sipping a Sierra Nevada while watching your videos - except mine are cooled in the fridge. Keep them coming.
The story of Todd's experience I found myself holding my breath several times listening. The second story that happened to you I've not seen. So I'll find your list of videos see if I can find it.
I always thought an overprotective parent/parents were just parents that were a little overly strict until I went home with a friend in like 7th or 8th grade and he started to warn me about his mom at lunch and on the bus ride home after that half day on a Friday and I thought I had a good idea of what to expect and be prepared for but later found out that boy was I so completely wrong and totally underprepared for what I would witness and experience that Friday until I got picked up from his house by my dad Sunday afternoon. I will absolutely NEVER forget watching him step up onto a tree limb about 3 feet off the ground in his backyard where his feet could have brushed the growing if he had hopped up and sat on it with his legs dangling instead of standing on it and suddenly out of fkn nowhere hearing his mother letting loose the loudest most intense screams of absolute mortal fear and panic and seeing her come sprinting out full bore from out the back door and never stopping her terrified screaming until she got her hands on him and helping him hop down off the tree branch standing ready in a stance like she was catching her child that had to jump out the window of a 3 or 4 story buildings top floors. I couldn’t even comprehend what was happening until she started to sob uncomfortably and patting his limbs etc down asking if he was hurt anywhere at all and then switching to punishment mode for daring to do anything even remotely like that and telling him how incredibly dangerous what he was just doing truly was etc… the scary thing is that there are parents who are even more extreme and overprotective of their kids even after they become full grown and mature adults and even after they get married etc. no thanks!! Had to relate that experience after u saying that boy in the story had an overprotective mother but he could have def had it even worse that’s for sure!!
Always a wonderful evening when we see that there is a Basecamp Chris video. That was awesome. Thank you Chris keep them coming. We enjoy them so much.
WOW Chris!! What a scary story! I believe Todd, every single word! I'am so happy and relieved that Todd made it back to his Mom's friends house, but, I wish that Todd's Mom would have believed him, that is really important to believe your kid! That hill that you camped on where the rocks are, is that a man made formation or natural? I bet that you were absolutely scared out of your mind when you heard all that ruckus coming from the woods, I would have been FREAKING!! I believe that the Coyote was going to be Bigfoot's dinner that night, thank you Chris for saving the Coyote and ESPECIALLY you of course!! Thank you for sharing this scary story my friend, you are truly fabulous!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 🍀🌲 🌿🌲 👣 Keep Hiking 👣🌲🌲
No wonder he was scared if he'd been watching 'Deliverance.' Nobody wants to end up like Ned Beatty. One story about that scene, apparently the actor getting Ned to squeal like a pig wasn't a professional actor. He was just some local and when the director yelled 'Cut' to end the scene, he didn't stop and they had to drag him off Ned. It always cracks me up.
This location background☀️🏔️is perfectly located Chris!! Edit/continue Hey Chris, Your scary🏕️ tent experience was the 1st time I had seen your channel😱and when I became a sub. Never to disappoint! Thank you for the wonderfully narrative stories . Take care - San Diego
Excellent story Chris! As a young kid that age from L.A. I can relate The only thing I ever stirred up in the brush was a sleeping bum lol Thank you Keep on hiking 😊
I got lost at Disneyland at closing time. Hundreds of people coming toward me, as I was trying to find my group. They were all going toward the exit and I was searching going back in on Main St. Think I was 11-12 at the time. It was scary!
