Our first story today takes us to central Alaska late November 1990...
The second story takes us to the Pacific Crest Trail summer of 2018 where John barely made it out!
Thank you to all who have submitted stories! if you want me to share a story of yours, please email me at: brymystytrail@gmail.com

I love those survival stories , please keep posting them 🥰 thank you so much
Interesting stories.....I'm just happy that they survived their ordeal. You are an excellent narrator, very easy to listen to :-)
My dad and my stepmom and myself drove all the way to Anchorage from Oregon in 1976 I was 14 years old it was a great experience got to do a lot of fishing. Got some big fish in the Kenai River and met some pretty interesting people. I'll never forget it
Great video. This whole channel is becoming quite the community. It's nice to read through comments and not see a bunch of hate in there.✌️
A great crew to follow is missing persons and mysteries, they also follow Bryan’s channel but their chats and comments always positive too. Have a great weekend!
Your channel just keeps getting better!👍👍
Been to Alaska twice and going again in December (grandson is stationed there now). It’s just breathtaking. Winter and summer. ❤️
You have an great way of presenting these cases. Thank you for your compassion.
I like hearing these other stories, they are good. I am a beginner hiker and realize I have a lot of learning to do. Couple of things is hike with others and let people know your itinerary. Love your channel.
Happy trails to you ❤
Brian shares good stuff ....
P.L.Beacon is a good thing to have as well....
Greetings from 🇨🇦
...yep, exactly. Sound advice so you’re off to a great start!
And apparently never step out of direct view of your hiking partner and obey warning signs. But let me add a very important hiking tip. Take a good sized pistol and wear it inside a vest or something. Learn to use it through classes and get a permit if needed. There are dangerous predators out there. Humans!!
Don't forget a whistle:) Made sure to have comfortable boots, and use hiking) walking sticks if you're going up hills, uneven terrain to maintain your balance- also helps you walk faster:) Good luck and Happy Trails!
Thanks for all the tips! You guys rock.
GOTTA FOLLOW your horse dude. I know it took time to gather yourself/bearings, etc but your horse will go (almost always) right back ‘home’...YOU were VERY fortunate! The next morning could’ve picked them right up, snowfall would be the outlier..
He’s reading stories from viewers. These aren’t his stories. And in the first story, how could that guy follow his horse when he was unconscious?
Loved these! I like how you are mixing up/experimenting with content. Awesome job and I appreciate you!
I really enjoyed this video. I enjoy all of your videos, this was just an unexpected and pleasant change to your typical format. Very nicely done. Also, are you super-human? I'm amazed that, without fail - including in the face of a catastrophic software/app mishap - you are cranking out videos 7 days per week! Quality videos at that! Amazing. Just remember: you deserve a break once in a while. We will always be here, patiently waiting for your next video. 💜💜💜
Well said... 👍💜🙏😊
I agree! Bryan is my favorite podcaster. I don't want him to ever feel obligated to his viewers. 😊🏆⭐👍👍💓.
💜 this format! The stories, and storytelling, was captivating. A great addition for your channel!
Anything can spook the most dependable horse at anytime.
I ride horses a lot and always have anything I need if I get separated from my horse on my person.
If you ride horses enough you’re going to fall off at some point.
Also I’m planning to get a personal locator beacon. You need this especially if you ride or hike alone.
King of content! Love your channel.
Brian you have such a calm sense about you while telling these stories as well as the missing stories. It is this that makes me feel as if ‘m sitting around a campfire while you are telling the story. Thank you for all you do for the missing and spreading around important stories to help all of us outsiders.
I truly love ur storytelling… I for real would have thought this was ur personal story ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ please keep up the amazing job I am so happy I found ur channel
Another excellent video Bryan! Thanks for all your hard work!
love it and love that you are telling the story in the first person
Doing a really great job at it too!
I really enjoyed hearing you tell these stories. Thank You.
Listening to Your voice and your stories, at night, lights out, is soothing and helps me sleep. Thank you.
I’m looking to retire for good in a year and I have been looking at Montana and other western states but lately I’ve been taking with my son about Alaska. He’s also a big outdoors sportsman like me. He just happened to be thinking along the same lines. I’ve been there several times and a few different areas and I really liked each and every location. I’ll decide in the next few months and I can completely understand the draw to that beautiful state. I’ve grown tired of Florida and the increasing population, crime and other issues. I’m on my second law enforcement job having retired once already from Philly. I’m eligible for my state job pension in a year. I look forward to settling somewhere remote and with natural beauty. It’s hard to top Alaska.
Stay away from the MatSu area-quite the meth hovel in that area of AK and way too many people. Check out the Interior if you want low density and lots of wild places close by, or Southeast AK if you love the ocean-and rain! It's been a great place to raise my kids and have had many amazing adventures, but have to be honest and tell you it's a hard place to grow older. Long long winters and colder than you can imagine. (I live in the Interior). I get out at least three times during the winter to Hawaii and Arizona to keep me sane :).
Alaska sounds pretty wonderful. I'm sure the winters are very hard, depending on where you live. I've always wanted to go there. But, I'm not sorry I moved to Montana. It can get really cold here, too, though. Winters, in both States, can be rough the older you get. People are very friendly here, compared to some other places. Good luck to you and yours, wherever you move.
P.S. Montana is the #1 State for racism, which I really detest.
Really enjoyed these stories. Thank you for sharing with us.
These stories were wonderful! Thank you. We learn from each other. 👍
just discovered this channel and already love it, I love this type of content keep up the great work
Love hearing about others' misadventures. A lesson for everyone.
Really enjoy these stories, thanks for your work.
Awsome job Dude. Thank 😊u so much
Great stories🌟Hope you keep doing these. I feel its another avenue for learning about staying safe and using smart principles out there.
Bryan you are doing a great job of reading these stories in first person.
Hey Bryan! Thank you for all your hard, consistent work!
Loved both stories! Both men had an ordeal but made it!
I appreciate your effort on this video, Bryan :)
Let’s go Brandon! FJB
My man has family in Alaska but we live in Washington State and he has asked me to move there,even though I can handle brutal winters❄️ I can not imagine that much winter or lack of sunlight🌞 lol I respect all who are hard core enough to live in Alaska👍🙏🏔️❄️🌡️🐻🐺🐇I think of the wildlife and it is tempting.I raised a pair of snowshoe hares to adulthood and released them here this spring so feel like I could survive there just not sure I would want to put that much on myself 😊🙏😊
Don't think people realize how vast California is, the desert and forest are extremely easy to wander off and get lost
I love my calendar and can't wait to see your new merch. True survival stories sent in by your readers was an awesome idea. I love all of your content. Keep up the good work.
You are one heck of a great story teller Bryan. Love your Channel 💞
Great stories! I like the fact your sharing other peoples stories. Its nice to hear if we familiarize with one of them were not alone! Thanks Brian-
Another great video, also I hope you bring back the bedtime story videos. I really like those as well!
Thank you! I will be doing anther soon!
He was so close to David! He had to have been! That poor guy! I have heard a story about (safe rock, false safe rock) in japan I think....same kind of topography you hike down into a place you cannot get out of. Very scary happens quite often in a lot of different countries!
Wonderful Stories looking forward to many more!
Beautiful footage, great story telling
👍👍 Thanks
Love the stories!
I really like this video a lot..
I’ve often wondered why is it hard to backtrack out of a canyon …
I understand getting boxed in … turned around in a canyon but I didn’t know physically it’s next to impossible.. I didn’t know that .
You are so correct with regards to being oblivious… I drove from Harrisonburg, VA to Bath County, VA. I was living in Harrisonburg, VA at the time and wanted to see the VA Highlands mountainous area folks told me about. I went to the visitor center in Hot Springs, VA to get help backtracking to get home- GPS wasn’t working .. I was given wrong directions ..somehow I ended up in the Monongahela National Forest.. I kept driving up and up the mountain .. switchbacks.. . then it occurred to me I hadn’t seen anyone in45 minutes and my gas tank was low .. it was winter .. the trees were bare.. looked like a nuclear Holocaust.. then fear set in as it was getting dark .. it was awful.. I had alot on my mind that day .. wasn’t paying attention.. Emotionally I was a mess for days ..
I like these stories better than the other content, probably because they are survival stories.
Thank you! Love every video
Great channel. Doing such a good service.
Thu uk 🇬🇧 is nothing like Alaska we have some amazing countrysids but Alaska is something else completely
I love whitewater its beautiful...only an hour away from me
Hello, my friend
Good upload!
🌼 Have a nice day
Great story
Grats on the merch coming
Loved this! Please share these when you get them. Very interesting.
Good Morning Guy .. ..tnx bunches
Love these stories
I used to live in Fairbanks in 67 and 68.
Something so simple can land you in trouble so try and make good calm decisions when out and about.
Iv an amazing story but it’s not camping or hiking 🥾 but it’s a true story and Iv never been so petrified in my life. I
4-5 inches of snow. Im sure tracks were visible. Back track. Simple as that. Follow your tracks.
always excellent. your respectful demeanour is always appreciated. if even 1 single person is ever found because of your timely information, what a great achievement man! NEVER EVER listen to the haters. you do good, not harm. and always with respect to everyone expect the perpetrators of violence and evil. keep going. and your narrative would be distracted by your moving visage i believe. keep with the stock footage. this could almost be a podcast but the imagery of the still missing people is vital. other details also. keep going.👍🙏✌
Great work your doing
Nice story's, especially the last one.
It could have been if he had been a few hundred feet more , he might have found him.
Either way they where nice story's.
The wolves would not have touched him i grew up in alaska remote on floating logging camps and logging camps have been on two fishing boats went down as kid and lost in woods over night with my mom siblings, we owned wolfs as pets never had problem with the wolfs.
I guess when they are well nourish it’s a plus , wolves are so beautiful , you are lucky to experience time with them .
1st
Wolves are okay I think not to call them nasty creatures I understand in his situation it was fearful but they are not to blame.
I have lived in Alaska for 15 years and I still have not acclimated. 😅
❤️❤️
Dude, you didn’t get clothes lined. It wasn’t wolves that spooked the horse. You know what happened
Hi Bryan, I did not understand if the stories you were telling were YOUR stories or were you telling stories that were actually about your viewers. I’d really like to know, please, as I love your channel and look forward to every new video. When you spoke of you and your wife deciding to move to Alaska, did you mean YOU or did you mean a viewer of yours? Many thanks.
I know it’s 10 months later but I thinking same thing so I read the blurb that says what’s what I’m assuming it is Bryan reading two different peoples stories. It truly made me say hey Bryan never mentioned his wife or any story about himself ..but I believe he is telling their stories. Interesting💥
This is why you learn some tracking skills so you can backtrack your way home...
If it was new snow why didn’t he follow her hoof prints
The wolve part seems a bit far fetched. If wolves can avoid contact to humans they do so. Only under situations of utmost hunger they might attack. They are afraid of getting hurt themselves, bears are different.
I am preparing to go on my first hike ever in my life. I am 50 years old so I am gonna go slow and short distance at a time BUT CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT ALL DID YOU TAKE WITH YOU ON YOUR FIRST SHORT HIKE??ANY GOOD IDEAS I may not have q clue what I am getting into
How was it? Have you gone back to doing it again?
Bryan you ever consider that wolves are very opportunistic, why when you were thrown did they not attack. Maybe it wasn't a wolf at all. Have you had any Bigfoot experiences, I saw one, and I am 56 yrs old hiker and hunter. I don't do drugs and don't drink. It wasn't a bear. It was a bonifide sasquatch. I wish it wasn't. But your story strikes me as a experience. It scared the horse, and didn't bother you. And according to you, you were close to your home. So when he saw you leave, he followed to be curious.
Excellent narration 🙏
Hey can You do the case of Isabella Kalua if You haven't already...thank You
just think of all the missing people it's in the hundreds of thousands and still people continue to go missing
I would like to invest in your channel. Please advise address of where I can send a really nice microphone to? 😜
Save your money. There's a volume feature under the video.
In the 1st story .. after you woke on your back, realizing you had fallen n hit your head.. .. why didn’t you start by: following your spooked horses prints left in the snow? Duh .. .. lol
These stories were sent in by subscribers; Bryan can't know why they did or didn't do something.
Hey Bryan!! Do you have mugs already? If not, you should do those enamel camping mugs/cups, i saw some in banff but can’t find them anywhere I am!
What an interesting tale that You've told us about here, Bryan, and your own recent engagement in the remote Alaskan wilderness.
May I offer You a possible alternative explanation as to what (or Who) spooked your Horse and left You with an anomalous headache that has left You scratching said head for a simple recollection, let alone a rational explanation.
Well, since You really, truly have no inkling of what took place during that mass of missing time You and your Horse experienced.
Of course, it's commonly known that companions like large mammals such as Horses.... and Yourself....are rare and interesting non-native fauna to the local denizens. Those who
have noticed and observed Your
behaviours in and around their homelands and in their own "backyards", so to speak.
Generally they are very interesting neighbors to fortunately have. Personally I have found it to be tremendously helpful to make Your Horse feel safe and secure out there deep, dark and remote wildernesses that ALL of the family group members that you brought with You, including pets, are all observed to be peaceful and inquisitive, but never intrusive, and seen as equal partners in your expedition, and NOT a food source.
Love,
Terry
These are not Bryan's personal experiences; he's reading stories sent in by subscribers.
@@Galaxie08 lot of people fall for it 😄👍🏼
@@Galaxie08 9 out 10 people apparently can't read anymore, lol. It's right in the title ffs, viewer submitted stories, ugh!🤦♀️🤪
One thing you can’t do is watch snow fall in the glow of the street lights? ARE there street lights?
I'm confused about the second story. I'm not a climber or much of a hiker but how do you have to climb back up a trail that you only had to hike down?
Exactly ... if it is a true story, that point needs to be questioned. I was on a trail that had some "challenging" sections. The only one being having to cross a beaver dam. First instinct was "this can't be right" but I saw tracks on the other side so I crossed ... only to find out the tracks were made by moose, not humans.
My logical thought process had me asking the same question 🤔
I gave heard on other missing people's channel that ppl can get themselves by climbing down rocky slopes but not being able to get back up. I think it's because, in some situations, it's easy climbing down because you can jump down or the trail is steeper than they realise and having to climb back up when it may be slippery or nowhere to grip onto to pull yourself up.
@@ScubaSteveCanada You'd have to ask the person who sent in the story.
Very enjoyable Bryan! A suggestion for future videos to help people understand these are viewer stories, not your own.... it's easy for some to mistake these stories as yours because you're reading them in the 1st person and in your natural unrehearsed & relaxed presentation style. Rather than change your style (which we all enjoy! 👍) just give viewers a visual cue.... eg. a small transparent text overlay such as _"Viewer Story #1..."_ _"Viewer Story #2...."_ over the top of your footage for the duration of each story (like a chapter title or source credit). Makes it easy for the viewer to recognise whose story it is (even if they skip a few minutes forward/back) and you don't need to change your overall format/editing/footage. Anyway just a thought... hope it makes sense!
Elk in interior Alaska? Moose and caribou yes- Elk no.
A split second and your life is in danger. Just like that scary
The One on the PCT why didn't you just turn around and follow your footsteps back to the Y in the trails?
Um, these are stories sent in by subscribers; you'd have to ask them.
@@Galaxie08 lol it’s irritating isn’t it 🤪🤣😂🤣
@@t.g.7180 😂😂😂😂
@@Galaxie08 I think you will have to copy this statement so you can just paste it in your reply! It’s comical at this point!
Gotta be careful...a lot of people se d "stories" in that are completely fabricated. Why people do this idk. But some other channels went down this route with user submissions and they are all so fake that I had to unsub. Theses were good though !
I'm thinking, bout 15 feet tall.........
In the first story - was your horse ok? I may have missed that part. Glad you were ok.
Bryan is reading survival stories sent in by subscribers.
@@Galaxie08 I keep seeing this comment they think these are his stories. People don’t listen lol
@@t.g.7180 😄 right people do believe stories are his , funny
The wife said that the horse returned during the night, which is when she knew he was in serious trouble
Have seen prints... almost 24 long... Almost 10 in. Wide... BIG alpha male........
be careful you lot
I remember getting lost in Dallas and man let me tell you it's no fun . Never drink in excessively like i did but luckily i found my apartment . Damned Scotch.
Wow, what a life lesson . Glad you get out of it alive
Respectfully, horses go home to dinner always, unless pursued. Would it not be right to follow her hoofmarks back home to a trail that was familiar to you? I do not mean to be unkind at all. If the ground is dry and hard, few people that are not trained trackers could do it, I know.
Dude-we don't have elk in central Alaska. Lifelong Alaskan here~i like your videos on missing persons but this...it makes me wonder about your authenticity now. Take care.
And you wouldn't have a "sheriff" come to remote location in AK (we don't call them sheriffs by the way)- it would have been a state trooper. Lot sof holes here-mountain right behind house? Canyou can give a general location of where in central AK you were? This isn't adding up, Bryan.
of
Huh???? These are stories sent in BY SUBSCRIBERS! You don't understand "2 VIEWER's survival stories..." in the title?
@@Galaxie08 Gotcha- see that now~Thanks for pointing out my stupid. It was a bit confusing as he read it so convincingly I really thought the first story was really him and his wife's experience-oops! Whoever sent the story in though did make it up, and if people like the read, so be it. I can tell you though that it's fiction. There's not an elk within hundreds of miles if central Ak, and we don't have sheriffs in the bush.
@@skiak004 no sheriffs anywhere in Alaska, that I've ever heard of. There's no counties, as you know, only boroughs.
Horse saw spirits called Fey, they frightened her
Mid 30’s?😧 you sound like you are 18-21

Why don’t you let the people narrate their own story?
This silly people must have no experience with paranormal stuff etc.... Dogs find dead bodys like nothing to say the least🙄
