Another amazing post!! And only Chris, who hikes all over every day of the week and twice on SUN, can say with a laugh and to -the-fact that he's thinking of buying an inflatable cabin, lol...how funny and yuppie at the same time! Hey, in thinking of your family one thing that is missing from your walks and posts is a pet to tag along. I can just see you with a big fluffed-out-cat hiking the Sierras! For folks that haven't seen the posts with your parents you gotta check them out! So much fun you had as a kid. Happy Holidays to your folks, bestie and the rest of your family - from Colorado!
I am always amazed that people trust their tents to protect them from dangerous and threatening sounds outside. It seems like you would have a much better chance of protecting yourself if you got out of your tent so you can see what you are dealing with. If the noise is a bear or other predator, it will attack you in your tent anyway and you won't be able to defend yourself.
Sounds like Thomas had a lot of emotional maturity to understand his Dad so well, despite the lack of apology. His Dad came from a generation brought up with certain ideas of manhood that required men to appear strong in all situations, which served him well in WW2. So it was a kind of breakthrough that he admitted his fear to Thomas when telling him the story, which is a kind of apology for his previous doubts.
My dad was the same. Any such stories I appreciated because I knew he had courage behind it with a leap of faith to confide in his daughter. I miss him.
As I listened to your story I realized that Thanksgiving of 1978 I also saw one in southern Mississippi at DeSoto National Park . This one I actually saw an was solid white.
Chris I have a t-shirt idea! You should make a shirt that says "drop it in the creek" or something similar because you are always saying that when you put your beer in a creek. It's kinda became one of your catch phrases. I'm super glad you are finally going to do some merch. I will definitely be buying some stuff!
Merry Christmas , Chris . I appreciate your parting comments about people believing encounters ,I've seen two , right out in the open , not ten ft from me . For yrs I didn't care whether anyone believed me ( they were kind enough not to say anything negative ) but the older I get I wish someone else would see one , in my family , so they would know for sure .
I feel the same. I saw a lake monster and people didn’t openly mock me. No doubt some 🙄 but it’s ok. I was lucky enough to see it along with another lady I didn’t know.
Chris, I've heard so many testimonies from people about their Sasquatch experiences thanks for this episode and sure look forward to your next. Where do they fit in in this planetary race? I wish they would hurry up and be acknowledged and recognized.❤
My 80 yr old sister just told me recently she saw one on our homestead when we were young. I believe her! Growing up, I always felt like I was being watched when out in our woods.
Love these vids every week. Look forward to the stories and latest beer. Got Mom and Dad parked on the couch for an afternoon of Camp Chris. Btw, Mom loves your little camper. She wants one for Christmas 😁
Good story. I really appreciate your comment about listening to unusual stories from someone, especially a loved one, without judgenent. That is very encouraging. Strange stories are not just about bigfoot!
Chris you're the best on UA-cam. Your channel is growing so fast, I look forward to seeing you reach 1 million subscribers. I tell everyone I know to subscribe and they won't regret it 🙂👍
Another great story tonight. I can’t believe Thomas’ father hit the Bigfoot in the leg with his shotgun and nothing happened to him after that. Can’t wait for u to our merch to be available for us fans. How exciting for you. Merry Christmas Chris and Happy New Year too!!!
Oh gosh, BCC, I tell ya, I work every Sunday night here as a armed female security officer and my post is right next to the Truckee River. The only critters I deal with are two skunks, a family of three raccoons, some feral cats, and occasional (sad to say) homeless folks, but thank goodness, no Cryptids or Bigfoots! At night its eerie to say the least but I love the sound of the rushing Truckee! My favorite part has always been when you pop that top on the beer flavor of the week! Since I'm always working all I can do is use my imagination and go, Ahhhhhhh, right along with you! That, and a great story just makes my night! Love the outdoors, too, and getting anxious and ready for some ice fishing at Frenchman's here soon! Thank you for all your efforts and storytelling. KH and cheers!
This was an interesting series. I like it that you encourage friends and families to support people who've had experiences with something that was scary and out of the ordinary. Having the experience is hard enough and then being laughed at or not believed makes it more difficult. As always, enjoy your posts here! Merry Christmas! Keep hiking!
That was verry poinient so heartfelt you said it beautiful its great to be a good listener& compationate for each other THANKS CHRIS❤🤠 HEAR YA TOMMOROW?
If I were to have an encounter with a Bigfoot, I would hope that my family and close friends would believe me when I told them about the encounter. I think that they would have enough faith and trust in me that they know I would not spin a tall tale on something like that. I was in the military, a form of law enforcement and later a newspaper reporter. I'd be a mix of hurt and pissed off if they at least didn't trust me enough to at least accept that I had an encounter that was scary and could not explain. Also, don't tell me its a damn bear. I've seen enough Black Bears over the years to know how they behave. Merry Christmas Chris. I just started watching your videos rather recently. I enjoy and like the way that you do them. That beer you had tonight sounds like a good one.
Great story Chris, thank you. This is what I go through too, everyone doubts me and it is hurtful and annoying. You have been one of the only people to really listen to it and acknowledge it. Love your channel and looking forward to the merch!
That series of stories was fantastic....some people who don't believe someone when they tell them of their experience...I guess it takes for them to have one their own to become a believer
Thank so much Chris. The story was awesome I don't know if I could Hit Bigfoot and get away with it. Lolo Happy Holidays and one more year with Excellent Segments. Very Appreciated. 🌲🎄🏔🎁
Thanks for another great video. I think sometimes they say they doubt or don’t believe, simply because they don’t want to acknowledge that it might be true. So it’s a deliberate choice more than what they actually think deep down. They’re gaslighting themselves.
Merry Christmas Chris! My dad loves listening to your stories and got me hooked now. 😊 Excited to give him a gift this year for Christmas from your shop.
Hola Chris I enjoyed your story. Thank you for taking us along just amazing like always. Chris have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.Love and God bless.♥️💕❤️🙏🙏🙏👍✌️😇🌲🎉
Merry Christmas to you Chris and your family and you all have a safe, healthy and Happy New Year. Ps, thanks for all the great stories and all the history you research and share with us. I really like the history about the pony Express, the mountain men and any other history stuff. Keep up the good work
His dad had ever so slightly & partially acknowledged his son, it was enough to have validated Thomas's encounters. That Honey Island swamp is a busy cryptid spot for sure! Yes, its important and shows real true friendship when someone says they "believe in you". Not expecting the recipient of the hearer or listener to accept what happened as factual, just being there to support your friend means the world. Merry Christmas to both you and Jeanette 🎄
Always look forward to Sundays and the new video. Have a Merry Christmas and also have you ever thought of having like maybe a longer storytelling video? I've seen a video or two of yours where you have a few stories in them but have you ever thought of doing a video a couple of hours long almost like a Story Time movie LOL anyways loved the encounter tonight and it's always great when someone else experiences things that you do so they know what you went through etc and that's in every facet of life as well
Folks, I have NO IDEA why I did this, but I listened to Base Camp Chris while playing "You Only Live Twice" (Bond theme sung by Nancy Sinatra) in the background. Good companion music to the story for whatever reasons! 😅
Glad Thomas was vedicated and now has a stronger bond with his father through the experience. Curious though and would like to know if they checked or looked for footprints or hand impression on tent? Thanks for another terrific story Chris, appreciate the work you put into each video.
Merry Christmas Chris to you and your family. Thank you for the intriguing and fascinating tales of Sasquatch. From Northern BC along the coast north of Powell River living on an old wooden boat.
Good to know you're find, I thought something was not right whe. I checked in earlier. Good luck with your gear Chris. Interesting end to the trilogy....what a brave man his Father was to survive by ditching ship. Wishing u, Jeanette and your folks a merry holiday. 🎉🌲💚
Great story telling. You make the stories like your their. Can’t wait for the next one. Plus I wish you the very best, For the the holiday week. God bless you and your family.
Awesome story Chris! So excited for your mugs in your online store!!!🎉
Thanks so much!!
People are afraid of the truth. Great story 😊👍
Chris, you do a terrific presentation! And these old girls really Appreciate you. Lots of fun we have a beer with you!😊
Wow, two encounters and Thomas still went back to the swamp. At least there was a happy ending to the family saga.
Another amazing post!! And only Chris, who hikes all over every day of the week and twice on SUN, can say with a laugh and to -the-fact that he's thinking of buying an inflatable cabin, lol...how funny and yuppie at the same time!

So glad u had technical problems....ur safe in the studio....
Thanks BCC. Love the cup! 🙂🖖🏼
Perfect timing on this rainy sunday being sick
Hope you feel better soon!
Rest well & get better soon!
I hope you feel better soon.
@derekfoster3106, get well soon! Christmas is right around the corner. You have food to enjoy!

Glad that came across! UI agree. C
My dad was the same. Any such stories I appreciated because I knew he had courage behind it with a leap of faith to confide in his daughter. I miss him.
Men today's boys will never be. It's sad the amount of feeble weak "men" today.
Every time I watch one of your videos, for some reason, I start wanting a beer 🤔
Kind, wise words about believing their stories, Chris.
Woohoo! Been waiting for part 3 😁
Please drink beer from the East Coast so I have a chance of finding it in the store. 😅
As I listened to your story I realized that Thanksgiving of 1978 I also saw one in southern Mississippi at DeSoto National Park . This one I actually saw an was solid white.

Love the enamel cup! Great idea! Of course you've got to put a Sasquatch on one though. 😁
You are the first storyteller I have ever sat and listened too. These stories the people are getting off lightly thank goodness.~Keep On Hiking~
Time to fix a cup of
tea and listen!
Thanks Chris, and vindication. Happy solstice
Best storyteller on You Tube. Thanks, Chris.
WOW! I got to see that inflatable tent when you get it. Thank you for another great encounter story.
Enjoy the stories, great format. Keep em coming
We will for sure buy a mug or two off you!!! Keep us posted
Love your stories, and love the cup . Want one
Just glad his dad was ok....out there all alone with no way to leave, that had to be terrifying! Awesome encounter stories Chris! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
love that cup Chris! my morning coffee would too i'm sure! GOD bless your endeavor!👍
wow another great story you always make my day, keep hikeing chris

Hi Chris! Trying to catch up on your videos! I like your studio. Thanks!

Really interesting story.!... Glad i came across your channel Chris!🙋🌟🎄
I’m so glad that Thomas felt vindicated after his dad’s encounter! I’m not glad his dad had to experience it though lol !!

Thank you Thomas and thank you Chris😅😊😅😊😅😊😅😊❤❤❤
Thanks goodness--merch cups that aren't plain white porcelain with straight sides. I love that tin cup. :)
They'll be tough ol tin cups you could put gravel in!🍺

That ol man got some balls to hit him even inside the tend, he stood up im impressed!!! Very good story youre the best .
Hi Chris it's Ed from Pennsylvania just enjoyed another video of yours having my lucky streak beer and pizza tonight keep the videos coming
Do they ever look for footprints and take pictures? Of footprints, of course. 😂.
I have found and photographed footprints. ( Large and tiny...in remote paces )
Perfect new camp cup! Your channel is so good, in so many ways! ⛺👣😮🎶🎒🥾🍳🍺
Thank you so much 👍
That series of stories was fantastic....some people who don't believe someone when they tell them of their experience...I guess it takes for them to have one their own to become a believer
Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🎄
Thank you for being a great Sunday habit!!! 😊❤🙏
Thank so much Chris. The story was awesome I don't know if I could Hit Bigfoot and get away with it. Lolo Happy Holidays and one more year with Excellent Segments. Very Appreciated. 🌲🎄🏔🎁
Another great story Chris, you rule!! Keep the stories coming can’t wait to see the merch!
Great story, I really like the display in the background
Thanks for another great video. I think sometimes they say they doubt or don’t believe, simply because they don’t want to acknowledge that it might be true. So it’s a deliberate choice more than what they actually think deep down. They’re gaslighting themselves.
Wow, what another great story, so scary. Thx Chris, love your true stories. 👽😂❤
Anyone else constantly watching over Chris’ shoulder…??
Yea chris!🎉🎉❤
Howdy! C🌲🌲
Maybe, it's not that people doubt.... it's more that they just don't want to acknowledge that something like that can be true..... 🤫🙏❤
Yes - probably part of it...C
Thank you for completing my Sunday, Chris!
You bet!
Merry Christmas Chris! My dad loves listening to your stories and got me hooked now. 😊 Excited to give him a gift this year for Christmas from your shop.
all right, some fresh Chris! Its cold in wet on the North Coast tonight. 🎉
Thanks Chris and Thomas & his Dad. Hope your Christmas is full of Joy.
Hola Chris I enjoyed your story. Thank you for taking us along just amazing like always. Chris have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.Love and God bless.♥️💕❤️🙏🙏🙏👍✌️😇🌲🎉
The cup is cool. I’ll be watching for it. Everyone in my extended family needs one. We all camp.
BTW my friend years ago, during the 90's, while he was hunting in Michigan, saw a silverback Bigfoot.
Thanks Chris, I always enjoy your stories.... and your new choices of beer. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you Chris and your family and you all have a safe, healthy and Happy New Year. Ps, thanks for all the great stories and all the history you research and share with us. I really like the history about the pony Express, the mountain men and any other history stuff. Keep up the good work
I'm glad to hear about your upcoming merchandise! And yes please expand more on the reviews of the beers!
Merry Christmas Chris 🎉
Keep hiking!
Thank you! Will do!
MERRY CHRISTMAS CHRIS, another great story well read, thank you 😊👍🎄
Happy holidays!🌲👍⭐
Hey that cup is cool. Good job
Bigfoot, is one big dude ...
Great story, first time I have ever heard of anyone fighting back from such a covert activity. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Chris love the video thank you for your hard work and sharing with us these stories 🙏😉
Very Welcome Brandon! C 🌲🌲
Kudos to you Chris! Merry Christmas 🎄 Keep hiking!!

Great series! Keep Hiking 😊
Speaking of Eureka, do you remember the t.v. show in the late 90s early 2000?
They partnered with Subaru for a limited edition car.
Loved that show.
Can’t wait for the merch❣️
Always look forward to Sundays and the new video. Have a Merry Christmas and also have you ever thought of having like maybe a longer storytelling video? I've seen a video or two of yours where you have a few stories in them but have you ever thought of doing a video a couple of hours long almost like a Story Time movie LOL anyways loved the encounter tonight and it's always great when someone else experiences things that you do so they know what you went through etc and that's in every facet of life as well
Hopefully, you are not hiking or camping alone. Be safe out there
I love that you are going to open a "store" with items to purchase!! I'll definitely be buying some items!
Awesome how you put a little word lesson about vindicated. My daughter is a sponge and loves your stories. Thanks again Chris
Thanks Chris! Have a wonderful Christmas and keep hiking!!!
Folks,
I have NO IDEA why I did this,
but I listened to Base Camp Chris while playing "You Only Live Twice" (Bond theme sung by Nancy Sinatra) in the background.
Good companion music to the story for whatever reasons! 😅
Great story series. Very scary Chris. You must have a nice stream running through your studio to cool down that beer! Nice. Lol
Glad Thomas was vedicated and now has a stronger bond with his father through the experience. Curious though and would like to know if they checked or looked for footprints or hand impression on tent? Thanks for another terrific story Chris, appreciate the work you put into each video.
Fantastic!! Ty Chris!!
Love the part 3 story Chris! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Great storyteller Chris...Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 🎉 enjoying your tales...😊
