    Chris. I sadly have not gotten over my anxiety issues even though being finally retired with no financial worries. I wish I was as active as you as at one time I actually was, but I just can't find the motivation anymore and put on weight and am basically depressed. NOT to make that the focus of this post. I want to let you know I look forward to your posts each week and lose myself in the stories. THANK YOU for doing this for me and everyone else.

      This poor guy is suffering from PTSD. It would be hard to lay that down at the feet of a typical therapist, you’d almost need a group therapy for others that have legitimately had incidents like this. His fear sounds like what an animal feels like when knowing it’s being hunted. Now I understand how jittery a wild animal can be around a human even though you mean it no harm. It has to retain that feeling so it can protect itself. Now he has that same feeling.

    The last grizzly bear in Colorado was not shot, it was stabbed with an arrow by a man named Ed Wiseman, who had been attacked viciously by the grizzly. By some miracle he was able to hit the bear in its jugular vein with the arrow and saved his life. It's an amazing story of survival and the repercussions after that he had to endure. He was horribly wounded and took many months to recover. Then, he was put through grief by the government for killing the bear. I used to work with Ed in Salida, Colorado, at a construction company just before this happened. Ed was a big tough guy and anyone else probably wouldn't have survived. It's sad that he had to kill the last griz to save himself.

    Always a pleasure to listen to you, Chris!--I had my own experience in PA as a kid in a tent camping with my cousin's in the Chestnut Ridge area, now famous for Big Foot sightings / A BF reached into our tent at dawn & tried to grab one of us, namely me! / Weeks later an elderly couple walking their dog had their dog chased away by what they described as a large hairy ape-like animal / Police were called out on what they probably thought was a joke until they found footprints 👣...An anthropologists from a local college was called in and made a cast, which he held up on a local news broadcast, which my parents and I were watching at the time. My mother's draw dropped and my father just looked over at me and said: "you boys are never to go camping in those woods again!"

      I've been camping in that area many times, and the Allegheny National Forest, Ohio Pyle area, Adirondacks, Finger Lakes, through the West Virginia mountain chain, never had a problem, other than..One time in the Allegheny National Forest, me and my wife were camping several miles into the Forest..We had two Maine coon cats and a Rottweiler with us..They made a lethal pack on there own, the Rotty would chase bears and the giant Maine coon cats could catch just about anything, turkeys, Raccoons, etc.,So we were sleeping in the tent with the animals, and woke up to our rotty crying and crawling under our blankets, as the two cats started hissing, as we heard foot falls around the tent..Next thing we know the cats broke into a fight among themselves, the dog let his bladder go, it was complete chaos..I jumped up and opened the tent, but saw nothing with my flash light..But I was completely spooked, like I never have been in my life, and could't really explain it..I was up half the night and could hear foot steps in the forest..Don't know what it was, maybe just a bear, as many are in the area, but our animals behavior was completely different to the dozens of times we had been hiking and camping with them..They were usually/always predatory, not scared to death...

    I too have camped solo lots, but haven't been solo since.
    I honestly never gave these things a second thought, but now I don't go into the woods at all without it always being in the back of my mind.
    I wanted to start a channel of camping, bushcrafting and hiking adventures, but I don't know anymore.

    I love these stories, especially the ones from my native state of Colorado. In 1979, I worked for the Dept. of Interior. Two game wardens told me, {because I asked them} if there were grizzly bears in Colorado, because my Dad saw one. They looked around, as we were in an office, and put up 4 fingers in the air, then put their finger to their mouth as to tell me not to say anything. Much is kept from us. I have found bigfoot tracks, and have heard them. Thank you Chris. From western Colorado , take care.

I had to fight myself to get back out there. Part of doing it was getting a protective dog to run with. Then he was attacked by bigger dogs we ran into and the process of switching to his protector is what brought me back to myself. For what it’s worth. 🤟🏼☺️

      When that light goes on, night turns to day, and the red dot is just fast as hell for quick target acquisition.

    I had a similar experience happen to me in eastern Utah in the Fall of 2021. I heard a very loud thud to my left, like a 1000 lb rock had fallen out of a tree. Then as I kept walking I heard 2 loud tree knocks ahead of me. I answered back with a owl hoot and some rock clacking. Then this loud bipedal walking came towards me until the edge of the tree line. Then I could see glimpses of this large, dark, tall body walking inside the tree line for 200 ft or so, like he was checking me out. Then I realized what it was and went after it, but couldn't find it. I have gone back to this area a few times and heard tree knocks and left treats on their tree structures, but only found some elk and deer kills. Last year when I returned to my truck after looking for them, I found a dead chipmunk next to my door that was still warm

    I will say we're not the apex predator. Although the newspapers in the government hid it there were four men killed in Yosemite by being ripped apart. Four young strong men. Correction there were three young strong men the fourth one got away although he was severely wounded. They asking what happened and he said we were attacked my what look like a wolf walking on two legs. He said the top part look human had a Molly hairy chest and human arms human fingers except each finger head disemboweling claws on the end of them. He told the park rangers that his buddy threw a rock at the animal which is what made it enraged. Well the other Park rangers were doing an investigation and a clean up the Green Beret was off in the woods they had their own command center and the park ranger said it look like to them they were hunting something.

    Good story Chris. Really enjoyed hearing the phone call with Dennis. Was able to get a real sense of the fear that he has now. When I was younger I used to do a lot of wilderness backpacking on my own. I never really worried. Had a couple encounters with bears. But as I got older I don't know if you could rack it up to wisdom,age, or caution I stopped doing solo trips and always found a buddy to go with. As I've aged I know now that really don't want to go by myself if anything happens I'm S.O.L. I've never had an encounter like the one Dennis described nor would I ever want to have one. Where I would go we're not driving areas. They were hike in and Hike out and it was usually rough and rugged terrain.

    I commented one one of your videos before, but I'll state my own possible bigfoot story again.
    This was in October of '21, camping out of my car on a forest service road in the Pisgah National Forest in the Appalachians, just me and my dog. It's getting around 8:30-9pm, and I decide to get into bed, so my dog and I get into my car and start relaxing.
    After a few minutes, suddenly everything went dead silent, no bugs, no frogs, nothing at all, pure silence.
    Then, after a few seconds, I hear something walking down the road, i don't know what it was, but I can tell you two things. One, it was large, very large, secondly ..it was bipedal...
    The amount of anxiety and panic I felt was unbelievable, and I enjoy solo camping, and I do take the necessary tools to defend myself just in case.
    But now ever since then, I always feel a little uneasy solo camping, and I will not camp in that area! I even feel uneasy driving through it.
    I've also never seen the forest go dead silent for anything before then, not coyotes, not bear, not mountain lions.

    I seen a short online where this cougar is chasing this monkey up a tree and the monkey is bouncing off every branch he can get to. The monkey ends up at the top left of the tree and then jumped across the top to the right. That cat followed the same path and when it got to the top left and was facing outward, he took this incredible jump up and inward doing a complete back flip to towards the other side of the tree to the right landed on the branch the monkey was on and it was game over for that little guy. Wild life is smarter more aware and able to out smart a human in my opinion. All we can do is fire ammo at it and hope we take it down before it takes us. Just another fascinating story Chris, so glad I found your channel.

He may have been in an REM sleep when it happened, and his nightmares are bringing it back.

    Hi Chris,
    I really do regret it, but for me it`s time to leave the channel. I was one of the very first subscribers & loved all the stuff you have been doing over the years. But the problem is: I love outdoor videos, hiking, exploring the wilderness. All the things you have been doing until last year. I also loved the educational part. But none of all this is left over. The stories....that`s a complete different thing, I am not interested in this at all. I totally understand that you obviously get more viewers with the stories. And on top of that, it`s less work than making videos outside in the wilderness.
    But I want to say thank you for the great videos in the past, that gave me & many others such a great time. As I already mentioned once before, I am living just a few miles away from the ukranian war. The beauty of the world you are living in gave me always hope & inspiration.
    Thank you Chris and take care!

Another thought I had is people who has encountered them, didn't get harmed. They must be harmless. Boy, would I like to see one!!! But only with a group of people. Lol . I'm not that brave!!!

    There seems to be a pattern to the way these Big foot encounters go. It is obvious from descriptions of sightings of them, that they are large enough, and muscular enough to do serious damage to any human. Yet they choose to scare people away, rather than physically attack them. Of all the descriptions I've heard of them throwing stones, not one reports being hit by them, they seem to be more interested in making you leave their territory, not actually harming you.

  • @KARO69GRP

    That's ultrasonic sound... From another story involving the US Marines in California that was in a support role with the DEA on a raid on a marijuana farm in the hills. They said the dealers usually protect their crops with electrified wire fence and traps, and a bigfoot was caught, or maybe injured. When they pulled up, and this was at night, they saw a huge animal trying to free the smaller sized on, with another smaller two peeping from behind the tree's further in. I think you know the last thing you want to do to Marines, is freak them out, and that is exactly what happened when Mr. Bigfoot let out a loud roar towards them. They all opened fire, 50 cal and all, and they did not hit bigfoot once. It was the driver who pulled his 45 and shot at the feet as bigfoot was running up towards them, while the other Marines were running for cover and reloading. Bigfoot fell and the 50 opened up on him and that was that. So apparently both mother and father bigfoot died that night. The Marines had their uniforms taken away and they had to be admitted to the hospital for ultrasonic sound damage to their organs. They were given pills and what not. This is what I remember from so long ago. I just found it interesting that ultrasonic sound could damage you and from bigfoot at that. Just goes to show, there's more to this than we know, and those Rumbler Sirens the Police use.....someone's paying attention!

    Back in 2012, something woke me up around 2 in the morning, pounding on a tree very close to our house which is on the edge of Teller and Park county. It sounded like a baseball bat hitting wood. It continued to pound trees as it went up the hill. The next morning my wife heard the same thing. That same year in winter, I was going to work early in the morning , it was lightly snowing, cold, dark and foggy. There was a car behind me lighting up the road and terrain in front of me and I saw a large figure standing out just in front of the tree line. It had what looked like a large club in its hand. When I went back by that area later that day, I stopped and looked for tracks, did not see any but looking at the field across the road, there were many elk tracks in the snow. I believe these are not the only predators as well, there have been sightings of dogmen as well in these parts.
