Funny story- Back in the day about 30 ears ago, a friend & I were on a 5 day canoe/fishing trip in the Minnesota boundary waters area- time flies when your having fun so before we knew it, we realized we had to head back to the canoe rental at night because we were behind schedule. It was a clear night with a full Moon so we had great visibility- otherwise we would not have attempted the night time return trip. So, we are paddling away having a jolly good time marveling at the night-time scenery and how quiet & peaceful it was- When all of a sudden, KERSPLASH! then another and another-what the heck? we were so far from shore that I reasoned it HAD to be a Bigfoot! as no human can throw a rock that far! So, we were panic paddling thinking a BF was chucking big rocks that were just missing us- when I happened to see the big Beaver tail whack the water in front of the canoe- Kersplash! We went from Oh sht panic mode to laughing our asses off in two seconds :) Yeah turns out we paddled right through a bunch of Beavers who were enjoying the night air just like we were lol we likely spooked them a bit too. The rest of the return trip was uneventful & we made it on time :)
I hope Minnesota clean up the oil sludge and pollution that the baby Sasquatch step on. The clams are probably toxic now. It's poisoning the wildlife including the beloved Sasquatch. I hope the Sasquatch families are okay. It will be a big loss if they die from the pollution caused by the stupid humans.
Thank you, Chris. I am an adult with attention deficit , and I love the way you tell your stories with such detail that it holds my attention, and sets my mind on to visualize what you are saying. Anyway, thank you so much, and Dave for this great encounter story.
@@basecampchris There is an orange/reddish light at (13:03), left from your head over the trees, than at (13:41) it starts blinking and fly to the right from the left, is there airport or something ? :)
You are one brave man Chris! Being out alone - telling scary stories! And long way to walk!! Aren’t there bears? Cats? Wild animals that you can run into?! You are awesome example of strength, courage and motivation galore! Hats off to you! Omg coyotes and you are not scared?! Wow! Hope you’re carrying? Look it! Dark and you are all alone!! Omg!! You are awesome 👏!!
Chris this is one of the best stories! The scenes and rushing river sound is just really nice! Thanks to the gentleman that shared his frightening canoeing experience.
I love the sound effects and all but personally I can do with out the interview portion. Chris is the best story teller EVER. lol. I would rather hear the details from Him. It's not more convincing with the interview. Imo its less so.
Very suspenseful story. Editing the caller's interview and photos in with your narration as the story unfolds is an awesome story telling strategy Chris. Works very well. Got to be one of my all time favorites!
Can’t sleep, so here I am at 4.45 in the morning in New Zealand, listening to this really scary story!! Wonderful story telling, Chris, and a perfect really early start to my day!! 👏🏼👍🏼🙂💝
Really like the interspersed callers voiceover mixed into your storytelling. Nice editing. As long as we keep getting our weekly Chris dose, I say adopt that style, and never let her go ❤️
Good one. Well over 40 years ago, a friend and I canoe camped on the banks of the Snake River in Southeast Idaho after a day of duck hunting from our canoe. We awoke in the night to a racket being raised nearby, but we had some powerful flashlights with us and were quickly able to bring them to bear on the source of the commotion: a porcupine was climbing around in a scrubby little juniper tree about 20 feet away. Now, having heard THIS story, I'm glad that a porcupine was all that we saw! Cheers.
Great story once again. I live in Hermantown MN and I caught a photo of a Sasquatch in one of my landscape photos of a lake I hiked to. A year later I zoomed in on the tree line to take a look and there was a tall one looking over the shrubs and a small one looking over the tall grass. I had no idea they were there other than feeling like I wanted to hurry up and turn and go back to the trail head and it was starting to rain a little harder.
Another wonderful story. Thank you Chris and thank you for taking me along on your beautiful hikes. It's been a while since I have enjoyed one since becoming disabled 🙂👍
Love it when the beer and the story match! Lol! The river in the back ground really added to the story Chris. Thanks for the time and effort you put into the videos!
Good story. Ppl really enjoy a good, clean story told by a great storyteller. Story tellers together on youtube have millions of followers , great mysteries, no cursing, no adult talk, no gossip or drama. I appreciate a place to go to hear good story's and I know ahead of time it's not going to offend me or imbarres me. This channel, Mr ballen is good too, David politus is good, and countless others . Great stuff
Hello Chris, at the end I always have a chuckling laugh of nerves thinking about you walking out in the pitch dark. You are a great story teller. *THANK YOU CHRIS* 🙋♀️🤙
What a great story! I'm from Minnesota and have gone tent camping 45+ years. I have had many experiences with bears, deer, moose, elk, bison, antelope, mule deer and coyotes, spotted wolves on the opposite side of the Athabasca River (thank goodness) in Jasper National Park, Alberta Canada, and may have possibly had a Dog Man walking around our campsite on two different trips and in two different state parks: Custer in South Dakota, and Ft. McKinley State Park in the UP Michigan. I figured Big Foot was more in northern Minnesota but never thought about the possibility of a population on the St. Croix. My dad and mom took me and my siblings canoeing many times on the St. Croix and we did weekend island hopping but never camped overnight and never had a spooky experience like the story you told. Thank you for another very entertaining episode!
I love Chris narrating this story. This story I heard on another channel. Chris does a wonderful job of bringing the story to life that other channels dont do.
As a fellow ex Minnesotan it's nice to hear a Minnesota story. But i always enjoy your stories no matter where they are located. Keep up the good work! You are a natural.
This has become my favorite channel as I grew up and live in MN. Nice to know I support someone that is from MN. And Chris does such an awesome job with his stories!
What accent! We camp out of our canoe in Minnesota (Rum river and BWCA) for 40 years plus. We have had two unexplainable incidents over the years in the BWCA. No tracks or sighting. This year in September in the BWCA I heard a big splash curplunk just off our site. Pitch dark out and close. It was a beaver this time for sure but had me going for a bit. Great story!!
Loved the setting for this one with the flowing river behind you. Great job interspersing some audio from your conversation but keeping the focus on your awesome storytelling. What a terrifying event for these guys!!
Love this new format with the loud sounds and pertinent background. The map was helpful and parts of the recording interspersed throughout was well done too. Great job! 😀
Thanks for this terrifying story, Chris! The voice format was very effective! I could never go camping after hearing these accounts. You’re an excellent storyteller and I always look forward to Sundays!
I try to wait until dark to listen but last several Sundays just cant wait that long! You never disappoint Chris! Thank you, this one was scary, i would've been gone at daybreak!! 😊
Thanks for this story. I can attest to the idea of Sasquatch on and around the St Croix River. Just a few days ago I had what I can only describe as an encounter. It was at a camp site just about a mile from the St. Croix. It wasn’t scary, well not too much. It never threatened me. I think it was just curious. It was not siting, but a hearing as in noises. There was one of these same clam shells on the edge of this camp site. I thought it odd that the perfectly cleaned out but not polished.clam shell was so deliberately placed there. I took it home. Now it’s even more special. Yes they shake the ground when they want to. This was was more playing with me like it was running in place.
I love to solo kayak and camp. Stories like this one really makes me stay on high alert. After several years I have not experienced any problems...thank God!
Great storytelling Chris. The sound effects & voiceovers made me feel like i was right there in the woods. The whole story hit home for me because I had a older native woman tell me something almost similar as far as camping near a river and fishing. Summarized, a bunch of people have boats that they go out on for a specific time period and alot of her people would stay & camp never the river for the fishing season. She happened to be in a camper van (no windows in back) napping. She was asleep & happened to be awoken by someone throwing rocks at the side of the van. She thought her family was messing with her, so she yelled out "knock it off" but that didn't work, the rocks kept getting thrown. Then she realized nobody was laughing or gigg1ing. She said she froze instantly, because she knew right then it was 'Sassy' (That's what she called it, most likely the name coined by the Lummi Nation). Within seconds, Sassy took ahold of the top of the van (she said she could here where they placed their hands) and they started rocking the van back and forth from right to left, so hard she thought the van was surely going to be pushed over on its side. She stated, she didn't say anything & she didn't scream. The rocking thing happened 3 more times & it scared everything out of her. Then she could hear it start walking away and splashing in the water. She thought the whole ordeal was never going to end. She said, she didn't move & she barely dared to breath. She waited patiently for her family to come back ashore. When they did, they were mad because they found all their fish that they were going to eat that day.....Gone. They thought someone had just walked riggt into their camp & stole from them until my old friend told them "no, it was nobody but Sassy'. She had a few more of these stories from childhood but for some reason she steered clear of disclosing those ones. With Dave's story, it sounds like they might have been in Sassy's fishing zone. The big guy, stomped because he was having a serious tantrum about his & his familys food source being taken.
That was an awesome encounter. One of the best. I don't blame Dave for sticking to certain areas when camping. Keep those Storys coming. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
@@basecampchris it’s a bit odd. Is there a road back there, other campers/ hikers? Need that IR scope and some trip wires. Stay safe my man. We don’t want anything to happen to you.
Another great story, Chris! I really enjoyed the "hybrid" presentation including both your narration and the first-person account and hope you will do more in this format. The places you visit are always beautiful and add a lot to the quality, as do the sound effects. Keep hiking and drinking beer!
I don’t know how you hike out in the dark alone after telling us this creepy story! I get creeped out listening to these encounters in my bedroom. I do not know how you do it! But do not stop creeping us out every week. Stay safe Chris.
Be careful out there all alone, Chris and thank you for this excellent story n interview with the actual person who experienced that frightening night on the Island!!!! 💖❤️💗💗💕❤
Another great story this week. We don’t know how you can tell these stories and then walk out of there in darkness. I would be so afraid of something being out there. We love to watch these every Sunday evening. Makes out nights complete. Keep Them Coming and keep Hiking!!!
I love your videos. I clicked on this one because I saw Minnesota, where I live and grew up. I thought for sure this story would take place in the Boundary Waters, not in my backyard! Throughout the 80s and early 90s, I attended a summer camp called Camp St. Croix, right across the WI state border. Scary! Thanks for sharing your story, Dave.
The delivery of the story and the editing were exceptional, even more than usual. You were so brave to stay after dark, after telling such a scary story. Thank you for entertaining me again. The truth is more interesting and stranger than fiction, most of the time.
🔥 A little constructive criticism that is also a compliment. I like when you, Chris, tell the story straight through without interspersed audio from your guest. That way is a much more relaxing campfire experience for me. You're such a great story teller!!! You do every story great justice, yourself!
Chris, I love that you’ve created a venue for people to share their experiences; I’ve a few of my own to share and maybe I’ll put pen to paper and share them..
Woah! I'm on my second listen: #1 Love the interview segments during the story #2 love the GPS map of the area around the 5 minute mark. Incredible detail in this story, I always think "How can it get any more real?" Well, this one is CRAZY REAL! #KH
The clams stacked up really got me. That sounds almost human. I love the Sasquatch stories but hope to hear something different as well. God bless and be safe out there Chris
Did anyone else see that bright light in the background just over his right shoulder? It was a single bright light shining off and on. A car light in the distance? Someone walking around? Was it an orb? Really enjoyed the sounds of the river rushing by.
When I see you posted a video, I always hold back watching, until nightime, and I'm ready for bed. Great story, and the location you chose to retell it was perfect! Creepy vibe. I always enjoy your stories, and when you add the interview of the people who experienced it, it's great! Thanks again for another good story.
Love it, Chris! Great job! Makes me think of the small islands in Broken Bow Lake in SE Oklahoma. There's a story of a sasquatch encounter on kne of those islands where some boys had to run for their lives and barely escaped with a squatch chasing them. So guess the sasquatches like the islands. Thanks for the awesome story!
Just when I think your storytelling can’t get any better it does. Love how you formatted this one, Very suspenseful too. I look forward to these every Sunday, and thanks so much Chris for all your time and effort.
@@basecampchris Yah, bought a lot in Bena a few years back and had two come through while in my little camper startled by my presence. Sounded like a ten foot owl hoot and a female chimp gargling chatter back then crackingnd and crashing through the woods. Lots stories I heard from locals too.
That was neat how you had the guy talking during the story. You're a great storyteller, Chris. I would have bolted out of there after the first two kerplunks in the water. 😲😦
CHRIS!! Im so happy you are outdoors 😊 It makes it so much more exciting. I enjoy watching your videos on Sunday Morning’s with a cup of joe! Greetings from San Diego, Ca
I love your stories. I am kind of a skeptic when it comes to sasquatch but the number of the stories coming out is too big to ignore. My next door neighbor's property borders on a large state park at a section that is in all but name wilderness. Sometimes it gets creepy to be outside at night, like I'm being watched. Could be a sasquatch. Could be creepy humans. Could be the regular wildlife but it does give one pause. We're in the critters's territory. They aren't on our property.
Hi Chris, your format using Dave's v.o and your editing is working wonderfully, keep it up ! Thank you, p.s I used t live in Carson city not far from governors mansion pretty area!
Hi Chris, Wow, what a Hair raising Story. It sounds like they picked the Sasquatch’s Bedding grounds or at least their Kitchen. Anyway, at least they were able to get out of there ok. It sounded like them hanging around to Fish, was more than the Sasquatch could put up with. Thanks as always for another Great Story Chris. Be careful out there and carry some Protection with you, preferably something that goes Boom.😁👍👍
WooHoo! It's my birthday and I couldn't wait for your video! So thankful for your stories and beautiful views!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎉🎉
May all your dreams come true in the year ahead!🎂🎁💰🥂
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday! 🎉🙂

@@Susan-nn1fm Thanks Susan, glad you liked it :)
Great story! We had horses spook severely in that state park! Never saw anything, but of course a horse is a prey animal so they were very aware.

Good one. Well over 40 years ago, a friend and I canoe camped on the banks of the Snake River in Southeast Idaho after a day of duck hunting from our canoe.

That was super scary , cant believe they still fished after a terrifying nite . they picked the perfect island. Somebody else thought so too 🤠✨🦪🦐🐡🦍

Wow, would love to see that photo. I've always wanted to see one, it would be both frightening and exciting.

What a great story! I'm from Minnesota and have gone tent camping 45+ years. I have had many experiences with bears, deer, moose, elk, bison, antelope, mule deer and coyotes, spotted wolves on the opposite side of the Athabasca River (thank goodness) in Jasper National Park, Alberta Canada, and may have possibly had a Dog Man walking around our campsite on two different trips and in two different state parks: Custer in South Dakota, and Ft.

I’m from Minnesota also and I did find them on the st Croix it’s true
Dogman is more myth for some people but I am starting to think that they do exist.

I don’t know how you hike out in the dark alone after telling us this creepy story! I get creeped out listening to these encounters in my bedroom. I do not know how you do it! But do not stop creeping us out every week. Stay safe Chris.
Thanks Ruth - Will do...
Be careful out there all alone, Chris and thank you for this excellent story n interview with the actual person who experienced that frightening night on the Island!!!! 💖❤️💗💗💕❤
I love your stories. Greetings from Poland
Thank you very much!👀🍺🦉
Thanks for risking your life in the wilderness in order to entertain us.
appreciate it George! C
Another great story this week. We don’t know how you can tell these stories and then walk out of there in darkness. I would be so afraid of something being out there. We love to watch these every Sunday evening. Makes out nights complete. Keep
Them Coming and keep Hiking!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!! Happy Sunday! C
Absolute darkness then a flash of light behind chris 😮
I love your videos. I clicked on this one because I saw Minnesota, where I live and grew up. I thought for sure this story would take place in the Boundary Waters, not in my backyard! Throughout the 80s and early 90s, I attended a summer camp called Camp St. Croix, right across the WI state border. Scary! Thanks for sharing your story, Dave.
That's awesome! Chris🌲🦉👀
I tapped the like button before I watched it cuz I know its going to be good.
Thanks!! 🌲🍺👀🦉KH!
The delivery of the story and the editing were exceptional, even more than usual. You were so brave to stay after dark, after telling such a scary story. Thank you for entertaining me again. The truth is more interesting and stranger than fiction, most of the time.
Thank you so much!🌲👍
Something about your videos are so intriguing, so enjoying, and I’m always excited to see a new one pop-up. Thanks for doing what you do.
Awesome!! 👀🦉🍺🌲KH!
🔥 A little constructive criticism that is also a compliment. I like when you, Chris, tell the story straight through without interspersed audio from your guest. That way is a much more relaxing campfire experience for me. You're such a great story teller!!! You do every story great justice, yourself!
Chris, I love that you’ve created a venue for people to share their experiences; I’ve a few of my own to share and maybe I’ll put pen to paper and share them..
Great Sunday morning Squatch story. Thanks Chris
Morning!👀🦉🍺🌲KH!
Woah! I'm on my second listen: #1 Love the interview segments during the story #2 love the GPS map of the area around the 5 minute mark. Incredible detail in this story, I always think "How can it get any more real?" Well, this one is CRAZY REAL! #KH
Awesome! Thank you!👀🍺🦉🌲
The clams stacked up really got me. That sounds almost human. I love the Sasquatch stories but hope to hear something different as well. God bless and be safe out there Chris
My Sunday is now complete 😊
👀🦉🍺🌲KH!
As usual you hit another home run. Great story and awesome background tunes
Thanks for listening! 👀🦉🍺🌲KH!
Walking out of the forest after telling a story like that. I'd have to have at least 3 beers.😆 Thanks, great video!
Oh yay...my day made. Absolutely love the magical beauty you present and these stories ...
Your storytelling is the highlight of my week Chris!
cool! Thank you...👀🦉🍺🌲KH!
Did anyone else see that bright light in the background just over his right shoulder? It was a single bright light shining off and on. A car light in the distance? Someone walking around? Was it an orb? Really enjoyed the sounds of the river rushing by.
Yes I seen the orb to 👍
Yes
Chris still knocking em dead great story broski hey great job
👀🌲🍺🦉!!
When I see you posted a video, I always hold back watching, until nightime, and I'm ready for bed. Great story, and the location you chose to retell it was perfect! Creepy vibe. I always enjoy your stories, and when you add the interview of the people who experienced it, it's great! Thanks again for another good story.
Awesome! Thank you!
The stories you share just keep getting scarier. 😱… 👍
More to come! 👀🍺🦉🌲KH!
Love it, Chris! Great job! Makes me think of the small islands in Broken Bow Lake in SE Oklahoma. There's a story of a sasquatch encounter on kne of those islands where some boys had to run for their lives and barely escaped with a squatch chasing them. So guess the sasquatches like the islands. Thanks for the awesome story!
Sounds like a good story...scary but good! C
Good Mornin Chris 😎
Good Morning! C🥓🍳🌲
My neice turned me onto your channel, and I'm so glad she did. Can't wait for each video every week! Thanks so much much!
Awesome! Thank you!🌲🍺❤👀
Thanks Chris. 👍
Welcome!😎🍺🌲🦉👀
Watching from northern mn. I'll be on the lookout!
Thanks Nancy! C
good to be here,❤~🏴☠️🤕🇦🇺
Just when I think your storytelling can’t get any better it does. Love how you formatted this one, Very suspenseful too. I look forward to these every Sunday, and thanks so much Chris for all your time and effort.
Thank you so much! KH!👀🌲🦉🍺
Woohoo it’s raining outside but I get to watch your video and drinking my hot chocolate!! Love the views you give us and stories you tell!! ❤
Good morning!👀🦉🍺🌲KH!
Nice one. I'm in Geand Rapids Minnesota. I saw a giant bare footprint in the mud by Pokegama Lake. Also, I heard a growl that I think was a squach.
Wow...interesting! Thanks C👍👀🍺🌲
I truly believe these guys. I have had enough small experiences myself in northern MN to have my world turned around.
Wow! Thanks Sandy! 👀🦉🍺🌲KH!
@@basecampchris Yah, bought a lot in Bena a few years back and had two come through while in my little camper startled by my presence. Sounded like a ten foot owl hoot and a female chimp gargling chatter back then crackingnd and crashing through the woods. Lots stories I heard from locals too.
That was neat how you had the guy talking during the story. You're a great storyteller, Chris. I would have bolted out of there after the first two kerplunks in the water. 😲😦
I appreciate that...it's a new approach! 👀🦉🍺🌲KH!
CHRIS!! Im so happy you are outdoors 😊 It makes it so much more exciting.
I enjoy watching your videos on Sunday Morning’s with a cup of joe! Greetings from San Diego, Ca
Happy Sunday! I love being out there! 🌲
I love your stories. I am kind of a skeptic when it comes to sasquatch but the number of the stories coming out is too big to ignore. My next door neighbor's property borders on a large state park at a section that is in all but name wilderness. Sometimes it gets creepy to be outside at night, like I'm being watched. Could be a sasquatch. Could be creepy humans. Could be the regular wildlife but it does give one pause. We're in the critters's territory. They aren't on our property.
A great story, and it was excellently told, as usual.
KH!👀🌲🦉🍺
You're the best, Chris. Thank you for all the great stories! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Happy Thanksgiving!🏈🍗🌞
Thanks Chris for another great Story listening from the UK 👍🏻
Awesome!👀🦉🍺🌲KH!
One of my favorite channels. Everyone loves a good story. Great story teller.
Great story. I have family in WI and MN. Loved his accent. I have got my husband hooked on the stories you tell. Thank you!
That is awesome! Thank you...
Look forward to seeing your videos every weekend, I dont get much time so I feel like its my little outing along with a friend. Thanks Chris
Love that! KH!👀🌲🦉🍺
Hi Chris, your format using Dave's v.o and your editing is working wonderfully, keep it up ! Thank you, p.s I used t live in Carson city not far from governors mansion pretty area!
Yes, The historic part of Carson! nice town...C👀🦉🍺🌲KH!
Hi Chris, Wow, what a Hair raising Story. It sounds like they picked the Sasquatch’s Bedding grounds or at least their Kitchen. Anyway, at least they were able to get out of there ok. It sounded like them hanging around to Fish, was more than the Sasquatch could put up with. Thanks as always for another Great Story Chris. Be careful out there and carry some Protection with you, preferably something that goes Boom.😁👍👍
