May her family get answers and closure🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 very cool you went to the trailhead to get a better perspective. Thanks for the upload ❤ edit: whoa bigfoot or someone doesn't want you there !!!! Smart to leave! No shame in that.

Such beautiful land 🤩

I firmly believe that no matter how good of a hiker you are or how experienced no one should go alone.

Washington state is covered in deep evergreen forests and the vast majority of the population is concentrated in and around the cities. Getting lost in the woods here nearly always means getting lost in the wilderness. Even going 50 or 100 yards off trail (say, to try to find a dog who lit out after a deer or bear), it could be really easy to get lost. September is the time of year when bears are aggressive and hungry, the days are beginning to shorten significantly-especially in the mountains, and nights can be cold, wet and windy. The terrain is also prone to rock and mud slides, trees toppling in high winds, and marshy spots with deep clay mud. Once you're off the trails that are maintained by the park services, you are very unlikely to encounter other people. If he were injured from an accident or animal attack, dying of exposure would be a real risk. If he was woods-wise and managed to build even a rudimentary shelter around or instead of his tent, he would be incredibly difficult to spot in a search. The dog may have gotten lost, fallen victim to bobcat or coyote or bear, or been adopted by anyone who found it wandering on any nearby road it may have found its way to. People who live in the countryside would not necessarily report a found dog, since many people who live in towns and cities have a deplorable habit of relocating unwanted pets to the wild, assuming that they will be able to survive on their own.

They don’t make people that big

Having moved back to the PNW recently, and being a big fan of hiking and mountain biking. I look forward to being featured on this channel 😅

That’s one of the busiest trails in the state.

I was on the Middle Fork Trail the same day he went missing. I have never seen so many SAR people in all my hiking experience. I have hiked Snow Lake Trail many times and Gem and Wildcat Lakes. I do have a few ideas... There's a faint trail from Snow Lake down to the Middle Fork Trail. It's actually the drainage of Snow Lake. I wonder if anyone checked that? Also there's an unmarked trail close to the Snow Lake trailhead. I will not include that info here on YT. But that trail goes by dried up waterfalls in summer/fall with lots of exposure. There's a lot of caves as well up there. Perhaps he took that trail? Much love to his friends and family.

safe travels & blessings💚

Uh?.... just came out of the bush (5 days) from backside of Columbia peak, bushwhacked through.... no sign of any humans... a couple of bears and a chipmunk.

Im the only one in the work truck sayin, somthin's f'in out there. They have started to change little by little from me playing really convincing clips here and there. Im a weirdo though i say something is out there but i don't want to see it.

Hilarious!

Makes me think of ancient aliens

SC is my favorite podcast. Talk about rabbit hole! 😅

why is this so accurate 😂

Under the normal circumstances, at least one of them should be found...It's always questionable if the body was never found...maybe they never gone there, it's possible too.....I wonder if there were any videos of his activities from cctv..or BIGFOOT!! OR PORTAL!

Do some hikes in the Kitsap peninsula or Olympic national park :)

This looks like a nice hike. Washington is so beautiful. We are spoiled by nature here.

Look into Travis Coleman chelan county

If you go off trail there ,you better have a compass .

I like that you actually hiked the trail where this man went missing. I live near Seattle and had not heard about this young man going missing. Thank you for shedding light on the story.

The day my daughter and i saw him and his dog he was on the south side of 90 headed towards chevron . Looked like he had a rough night and was cold. needing a cup coffee .he Did not speak when spoken to.

(Look up!) When I was 10 I was hiking on our family property with my 14 yo cousin. We were experienced with the outdoors already at that age, as we’d spent most of our lives outside. This was about 1987. Anyway, we were at the back fence line that abutted state land when we both smelled death and stopped. You can’t mistake the smell of a decaying animal after the first time you smell it, and by that age I’d happened across many dead animals. We looked all over and could not find the source. Then my cousin looked up. About 20’ up a tree, caught in a “Y” of branches, was a huge buck deer. We both knew it had to have been dragged there by a cougar, but I was astounded that such a big animal could be carried up there. We looked at each other and then we heard something…we bolted. I’ve never ran through the forest so fast. Didn’t stop until we made it to the house. Looking back, I doubt it was the cougar that we heard, but it still scared us. I often wonder how many missing hikers are up in trees.

Nature has many ways to reclaim us...

You should do a video on missing person Samantha (Sam) Sayers, missing since August 1st 2018, from Vesper Peak. She was on a hike and never came back. Never to be seen or heard from again.

It is weird that both went missing at the same time. Usually if the human goes missing the dog shows up somewhere. It sounds more like foul play.

Cool drone pics.

My brother was "attacked" by a Black Bear where we lived about, eh... 45min Southwest of here- on the trails behind our house in King County- Ravesdale, WA. Yup, he was on a hike with our braindead black & yellow labs about a mile behind the house near the railroad tracks when he literally turned a corner in a particularly overgrown, brushy area & ran smack into an equally startled young (approx. 200lbs or less, barely 5' tall when it stood on its hind legs apparently?) black bear, who my brother said looked like a scared Yogi Bear as it bounced backwards off of him& took a tiny little "swipe/'Ahh i'm about to fall over backwards onto my butt, help meee?!' reach with 1 paw" out towarda my brother & managed to make about a 3.5" slice on his outer forearm... Before it did indeed, fall onto its butt, crawled up onto all fours, then scuttled off into the trees somewhere. (This was abour 10 years ago now? My older brother was probably about 25 at the time?) ...terrifying encounters with the WILDLIFE of Western Washington state right here, man!!?😮😱🌲🐻

I pray answers appear soon. Must be agonizing. So sorry 😢

His remains are in a draw somewhere that no one thought to check. Seen this over and over.

I've hiked this trail several times. Well marked and highly visible with tons of people. Unfortunately this definitely seems like a case of wanting to end ones own life. It's actually more common than people realize for people to take their life in this way. Hike out into the wilderness and hopefully for them off into heaven. I hope he and the doggo are at peace. That said I've always felt even though it's common it's a real selfish thing to do. First of all it puts searchers at risk. Especially if it's cold or bad weather. It is also horrible for friends and family because they are left wondering what happened (as most family will always think "oh they would never do that" even though, yes, yes they would and did.) If youre going to do that..... first of all please don't, but if you do please leave a note. Thank you.

Great channel. Keep up the amazing work!

Thanks for sharing.

Well told. But I researched, with my friend Mr Google, and his good girl doggo's name was Seta.

Extremely sad. Thanks. For the spotlight. Thanks to everyone who helped look into this.

I hiked up to Gem Lake and wondered how in the world there is 0 trace of him and his dog? He must have kept going on as the trail goes for miles past the lake!

Is it possible that his disappearance is of his own design? There are ample examples of people that "vanish into thin air" only to turn up years later in a far off location, with a different name, and a different life. I'd rather it be this than any of the alternatives mentioned already.

I got lost on a trail in Oregon way out in the middle of nowhere where! Nobody knew I went out there if I was Lost Lost I'd be done! But I never panicked always kept 2 🔫 s and I found my way back! Thank you Jesus Christ!

Try sending DRONES!❤

Where is the nearest cave system to this trail? Alot of people disappear and mostly near cave systems look up Missing 411.

Have you ever herd of The Pinnacle Lake murders in 2006. Look into that one… super spookie and unsolved!!

There was a guy and his dog found (passed away) out in or near packwood.

I did that hike with my grandpa

I am somewhat sure we passed Brendon and his dog on the high lakes trail near Gem Lake, but it could have been further out to lower wildcat lake. We had been out there with our dog, and they stopped in passing for a quick hello and tangling of the leashes. I'm not certain it was them, though. I checked my map history and was definitely there that day. We had been out backcountry camping. For his loved ones, I hope that he's found, but knowing those trails, there are a million places to get lost forever

There are remote viewers or psychics that specialize in this sort of thing. Has anyone ever called upon one of them to assist?

A few months ago a friends brother Matt Westfall was on his way to arizona to see family and hasn't been seen since, they found his truck at some national park in Oregon but haven't found him yet. They called off the search after two weeks with no other trace of him other than his truck.

the first part of the trail, heavily forested. Was his dog on a leash? If not, dog could have run after some game, racoon, squirrel, whatever, and he chased after it, into the woods, got lost, fell into a valley. Would explain why people didn't see them further up trail.

North Bend here. Our city is great, beautiful but you have ti respect the wildlife and mother nature. Sad to hear about this story. Hoping his family finds some closure. Very sad. Good video and recap.

The getting lost theory reminds me of the woman hiking the Appalachian trail. She stepped off the trail to use the bathroom and got turned around and couldn't find the trail again. There was a huge search and rescue and they didn't find her. She vanished. Months later someone came across her campsite, and her journal where she wrote her story, she starved to death. I think him getting lost and succumbing to the elements is a possibility.

Beautiful trail!
