It's great that you've added a slideshow of photos of the disappeared at the end. We need to remember them and to understand and respect the power of nature. I've been watching your videos for years and continue to enjoy your perspective on the world around us. Take care Rusty!
Been a fan for years, Rusty. You're videos helped me with a bout of insomnia a couple years ago. I'm happy to see you're still at it. God Bless🕯 -Reno, Nevada
Thank you Rusty... I have a sad update on Tommy Howe... he was found in the Desplaines River which runs through the forest preserve. The autopsy showed drowning as cause of death. More tests are being done to determine if there are any other factors.
Rusty, when I first found your UA-cam channel, I thought you were riding Dave Paulides coat tails. I now understand that you are nothing like him. You do your own research and report only the facts as you find them. Much respect and appreciation to you for honestly providing just the facts of the entire accounts. Thank you for your honest reporting.
Paulides often leaves out very critical details to make things sound more interesting or mysterious, Rusty never does that. I really love this channel for that reason!
@@prototheatre72 these stories are all about real people, with real families who miss them. These aren't just campfire stories. I for one am glad that another person is bringing awareness to these cases.
Thanks for doing what you do Rusty. My cousin went missing in Drayton Vally Alberta a year and a half ago with no answers to any questions. It’s so hard on the family.
What a nice surprise, it;s Rusty. Thank you being such a caring soul, to keep alive the memories of these poor lost people. Your channel is my favorite for the missing. The more the word gets out on those that are lost, the better. May God bless you Rusty.
@@prototheatre72 You obviously don't have a missing family member. I hope and pray you never have that experience. Your attitude would change quickly. Think about it.
And maybe finally at some point the park authorities will stop trying to hide these incidents and be more co-operative about getting the news of them out there!
I dont think mother nature had anything to do with a few of these people disappearing. Good to see you again Rusty, like a old friend that stops bye out of the blue with some intriguing stories.
A very welcome back, Rusty, glad to hear from you. It is always sad watching the photos of these people so happy and yet they are missing. I can’t even imagine how terrible their family must be not knowing what happened to them. It is sad a tragic. I hope and pray they are found alive and well. Hoping so.
@@prototheatre72 "Stealing"? Don't you think the more people who are aware of these missing people, the better chances are they'll be found? The fact these people are missing is not "copyrighted", is it? Not everybody watches Dave Paulides' channel. We should be applauding every person reporting these missing persons...the national "news" media certainly is not reporting about them, more than a few days, anyway. I wonder why that is?
Thanks Rusty, for caring and sharing🥺 So heartbreaking💔 Your coverage on those who vanish, is important to the hearts/minds of your listeners, who also care about them, their families. Thanks so much, hug! 🙂 💝
Hey Rusty. Welcome back dear friend. So nice to hear your voice once again.What a nice start to my day. I used to love wandering off in the bush by my lonesome but since watching you I tend to stick a little closer to home.It's scary out there man !!
To me, the disappearances are not the most baffling part. What's baffling is how a 74-year old guy decides that it is a good idea to do a 3-day hike alone in the middle of the Alaska mountains, where a million things can go wrong. You can get lost, you can have an accident, you can be attacked by a huge grizzly bear, or by a pack of wolves, or you can fall into a freezing river, and you don't have cell phone signal or a way to get out of there or ever be found in the middle of the huge wilderness. And yet, year after year, people decide to do these solo expeditions, with predictable results.
*shrug*, odds are far greater that you can slip in the bathtub, get hit crossing the street, get in a car accident yet we all still do those things. Better to live life than cower in fear and do nothing just in case.
Guys like him would rather live life on the edge and when you get to an advanced age you think " well I am gonna die anyway fairly soon so I can take risks and not feel so bad about it"
These stories show just how fleeting life really is and we should appreciate it and get along as best we can and not dwell on petty issues that divides because you never know when you may lose someone....and you can't resolve things after someone is gone.
Thanks Rusty. Stay safe out there. I wish I could help someone here but I hope they all get answers soon. So scary and sad to me. Is it ever going to get better? I fear not. I really think NO ONE should undertake things like this alone. It just isn't safe.💔
Fantastic to hear your voice Rusty. Been quite a week or I'd had listened sooner. Say a prayer for my cat. He's in hospital. Prayers that answers will come for all the missing everywhere. Last guy in wreck could have suffered an andrenaline attack then fell somewhere hidden or something.
Hello Rusty , I love listening to your stories. I never believed in Big Foot , or anything strange for that matter, not until 1978 and 2011. I’ll try and send you my stories . I live in Victoria Australia , keep the stories coming
Get a transponder (or a satellite phone), stay with others-NEVER GO OUT IN THE WILDERNESS ALONE, STAY WITH OTHERS, keep a close eye on children-NEVER LET YOUR EYES LEAVE THEM!, no bright clothes, if something tries to take you say "BY THE POWER OF JESUS CHRIST, I COMMAND THE DEMONS TO LEAVE"!, THEN BECOME A CHRISTIAN!
And the sheep were always on the lookout for the fox but it was the shepherd that slaughtered them. Tyranny comes not from tyrants, but from mass compliance to tyranny...
Hi Rusty! It’s so good to hear your familiar voice. I have had many joyful hours in our National Parks. Your disappearance blogs don’t deter me from hiking there. I’m more cautious but I still enjoy a good hike. Thank you for your beautiful posts. Are you a hiker?
i did check my notifications and there was nothing there. I might be 12 days late... but i'm still here and watching. Thanks Rusty for the share, love your videos. Hit that like button folks!
Can't help but think our high ranking Park Officials know exactly what's happening to our people. Like everything else these days, they're keeping it secret. Thank you. Great to hear your voice. ❤🙏🌍
@@stevewixom9311 put yourself in their shoes! I don't think I they know for sure so they don't want to be the first to blow the whistle! It would definitely turn these parks upside down! Depending what was found out I imagine it would kill a lot of these parks. Budget cuts would run off help etc! But I don't think for a second these folks go to their job everyday and not think of these missing! Cause if it was me it would probably consume me!
Rusty good to hear from you. Your the one who got me and a great many others into the Missing People Phenomenon and to quench our thirst we are watching other channels which there are some really good ones out there but we miss you the master so to speak. Cheers my friend

Hello Rusty. You're like an old friend who stops by unexpectedly and joins me in a cup of coffee and chitchat. Always good to see your videos.☕
That's nice & poignant especially a friend one did not expect to see & one that has not been seen in a long time
@@mijiyoon5575 And one that doesn't use you for something, then stab you in the back and ghost you.....😁

Wish he would stop by more often. Like once a month.

Wonder who David Paulides stole it off in the first place ?
Wonderful to hear your voice. Stay safe, everyone. These are too haunting.
Doesn't sound like him?
Welcome back the Rusty. Keep bringing these tragedies to the attention of the world
And maybe finally at some point the park authorities will stop trying to hide these incidents and be more co-operative about getting the news of them out there!
Rusty! Where have you been?! You have got to stop disappearing!! Glad to hear that you are back! We missed you.
I thought you were missing there for awhile 😕 Glad you're back! 👍🤠
It’s always great to hear from you!!
even though the former SEAL was in his 70's is the most perplexing missing person..must have been a horrific event to take him away..
YES😢
I was starting to wonder if u were ok Rusty. So glad ur back.
Thanks Rusty for bringing awareness for these missing people ♡
Excellent Rusty as always fella 👍🇬🇧
It’s amazing you can walk away from a crash on the north side of Chicago, never to be seen again.

Glad you uploaded, always enjoy your content. Thank you
So excited to see your back !!
Great to see you covering these really baffling missing folks again friend. God Bless to you and all the families of the missing.
I always look forward to your videos. Glad you’re here, and always give us facts about these missing people. Prayers to their families.
Music is so touching, so tragically beautiful too
Hauntingly nostalgic.
"Hello folks." 👋🏻
Thought I'd add the traditional Rusty West greeting.
Rusty sounds aloT younger in this video...hmmm

me too.. I usually say, "we'll Hello folks" the same time he does and this time he didn't say it! LOL
Great job Rusty thanks!!!

I don’t understand this either. Even at my age of 40 and good health, I wouldn’t even think of taking on a lone adventure like this.
*shrug*, odds are far greater that you can slip in the bathtub, get hit crossing the street, get in a car accident yet we all still do those things. Better to live life than cower in fear and do nothing just in case.
Guys like him would rather live life on the edge and when you
get to an advanced age you think " well I am gonna die anyway
fairly soon so I can take risks and not feel so bad about it"
Some people know that there's something wrong with them and would rather go out on their own terms then waste away in a home,,,
Excellent point!
These stories show just how fleeting life really is
and we should appreciate it and get along as best we can and not dwell on petty issues that divides
because you never know when you may lose someone....and you can't resolve things after someone is gone.

Don't resolve anything.

Love you all the way from Sydney Australia bro
Ur awesome 🤩 what u do for the missing is so amazing
Thanks for the new one
