Chewy is such a great dog
He is the best hiking dog I could ever have and more
I just want to salute and to thank everybody who had the courage and fortitude to venture out into the forest, in the night and in the day, in the search of answers. I know that adventures like that are not easy. Well done, fellas!
Enjoyed seeing all of you again. Thanks for coming down and looking at the Corridor.
Thanks from Bundaberg, Australia.
When I was a kid and Boy Scout in the early 80s we had something very tall and dark cross a trail in front of us just before dark. It was massive. That was in the Oscar Sherer State Park in Sarasota. There are videos of something that looks like a Bigfoot in Myakka State Park too. Both are in the same county and not really very far apart. Back then it was a lot wilder than now, but it's worth looking there if you're looking for a skunk ape.
Very interesting, thanks for taking the time to share that!
Thanks, Alex. I'm very interested in the skunk ape. My grandparents lived in Florida from the late 60s, and my grandpa and one of my uncles had a run in with the skunk ape. So this has been one of my favorite episodes!
Great film as always Aleks. To me, you make by far the best sasquatch videos out there. They are always fascinating-yet-un-sensationalised and beautifully shot and edited. I hope that you are the one who eventually gets the genuine and irrefutable evidence that everyone is searching for. Keep the films coming - I will never get bored of watching them!
Alex you picked a great bunch of guys to hangout with including Chewy!! The rain scene in the blind was great fun.
Everyone EXCEPT @CentralFloridaBigfoot that is. His condescending and snarky remarks to every comment on here does not do well for your channel. I've yet to watch an episode that had so many negative replies to comments from him and also you Alex. You're better than that. Don't let his EGO and narcissist comments on your channel.
Been waiting for another Aleks video! 🙏❤️👍Can't wait! 😊
That was so much fun! Lots of hard work, patience and humor with a team of smart folks. Thank you Matt for putting the research camp together. 👍 Max, Brian, Chewie and all the rest, good going! ✌And finally, thank you Aleks for documenting this effort with great footage, cinematography and music! 👍✌ Cheers!😄
I was literally fishing there yesterday. How funny.
Small world! Thanks for checking it out. -Aleks
Cant wait 😊🏴
Looking forward to this 👍
Can't wait, love these videos 🤩🤩
really excited for this on...
thnx for all the good stuff eli and familia bigfoot.
its been an amazing journey with you guys. hope to meet someday.
don't know where i would be if not for small town monsters.
all the prayers for you
be safe have fun
keep squatching
luv u guys 💙

I always find these videos interesting. I never watch them expecting to see Bigfoot discovered. The hunt and methodology is what is interesting. And I love the reactions when something curious and unusual happens!
You’re very unlikely to see one unless by accident when you’re only in the area a few days tbf
@floatpool8307 LOL. Why would you call them scammers? What do you think they are after? More subs, maybe? What do they have to gain? Scammers always have something to gain. Cultist? Dude, please. I believe in Bigfoot, I don't KNOW there are Bigfoot. If I were a cultist, I would not even debate the issue. I wouldn't be willing to do my own research or listen to a debate about why or why not. You know, the way the Trump cultists aren't willing or able to hear the other side; the "fake news" side. Or worse, know the truth and support him blindly anyway.
Unfortunately, in the case of Bigfoot, some of us will never know for sure until or unless they can produce a body. The thing is, I'm not going to say that something doesn't exist simply because I've never seen it, just as I can't say that for sure it does exist!
@@1972dsraiit’s not easy to stay out for a week or weeks at a time,people have jobs ,families ,responsibilities,I’m fortunate enough that I work my ass off so I can take a few days here and there to do this ,it’s not easy,if I was rich and didn’t have to work ,I would be out all the time ,I appreciate these times with friends and searching for answers
Very we’ll said, it is the journey that’s important 😊😊😊😊
Lived and spent time around the green swamp near North Lakeland FL. I worked for a new home builder in Lakeland and they would send me out looking for properties to develop. I've heard so creepy shit out there. Thanks guys for your work. You are definitely in the right place, creeps me out just thinking back about it.
Hello fellow lakelander 🙌🏼
@@lynseysemler Hello, I worked for Mike Lilly Homes and Southern Homes 95-97. Before that I worked for Lakeland Toyota. We moved there in 92 and really enjoyed Lakeland. Unfortunately life happens and I ended up over in Indian Rocks Beach. I do miss Florida and the Beaches and grouper sandwiches at Frenchie's. Lol
@@Mach11976 my house was build in north Lakeland by southern homes in 2016 😊 hey you never know, maybe you’ll get to come back to live here one day!!!
@@lynseysemler My Grandson lives there and I'll be there the middle of June so I can enjoy the humidity!!! lol
@@Mach11976 that’s how I know your Floridian. Brave enough to come here in June. 🤣🤣🤣
Greetings from the land of the Skunk Ape!
You got Skunk Apes and we got Wood Boogers!
Hey there Hike with Mike!
@@SmallTownMonsters aloha you guys got to come back to the Green Swamp and explore with FSAR Florida Skunk Ape Researchers with campfire Steve
1.3k watching and not even 400 thumbs up, I never understand why the number of people who press on the thumb is so low.
Because internet is flooded with content. For better and for worse: )
Guys..I was laughing so hard by the time the Florida turbo rain hit your hunting blind! Oh my gosh.. So here you’ve probably got 2 or 3 Sasquatch playing hide n seek with the humans..then watching you guys all pile into a hunting blind..getting pelted with rain..listening to you all laughing heartedly..non stop.. loudly.. probably super curious and entertained at the same time! I’d call that a win win hunt..both sides! Score: Humans 1…Sasquatch 1…. The search continues!! Great job and super episode! Thank you! 😊❤
I love how the community is working together we need more of this. ❤ thank you small town monsters for everything you do for us I just can’t get enough of the big foot subject i’ve been doing nonstop research I would say for the last six months never had any encounters but I’m planning on a road trip to northern Michigan near the upper peninsula where there have been sightings and foot prints recorded over the years and that date back to the native Indian tribes I have never had any kind of encounters the subject is just so intriguing and overwhelming I’ve probably watched over 100 hours worth of documentary film and research. Just taking other peoples perspectives information and advice everybody has their own unique way of doing things what you guys are doing is revolutionary to the cause. And to the field researchers the people who are out there spending time and countless hours and money you guys are also appreciated as well I think people need to be patient with the subject it’s going to take a lot of us and hard work and man hours to hold down evidence I also suggest to maybe move in groups of only a couple people spread out in a large area and staying undetectable as possible I just feel like larger groups would have a less of a chance in countering the creature just because they like to stay away from humans at least that’s the idea it’s giving off from all the videos I’ve watched Big for clearly don’t want to be seen so I feel like large groups you’re eliminating your chances by a lot but you can still find physical evidence which is a good thing I love all my people in Florida I am from Chicago I have a lot of family and friends down there my dream vacation is to head out to the California redwoods and parts of Oregon the Pacific Northwest is a vast monster. Within its self is a challenge let alone the Bigfoot subjects I love seeing people come together especially in such hard times I feel like our countries are stacked still and there’s a lot of negativity going on right now between us and the government and all the war that’s going on in the economy everything is just so bad I love seeing people sticking together because all we have is each other if our government craps out on us we will be all we have without one another one wouldent be Big foot researchers these are the type of people I will trust with my life with no help from the government we’re doing a pretty good damn job because we know they cover everything up and I’m pretty sure they try to deter us from knowing the truth they know what’s going on of course they will never tell us they would never come forward with the subject so I understand why a lot of people don’t like coming to the Internet revealing themselves the location of their work. Oh because you risk sabotage I think it’s a big thing that’s cool I got that a lot of people are talking about it’s easily hidden i’m pretty sure the government set up divergence to keep us from knowing the truth what those diversions are I’m not sure but I’ve heard a few stories and not everybody is a liar but of course there is people out there who won’t go out of their way to do just that
Google 'Bigfoot near Felch Michigan' It's in the U.P near where I grew up.
@@anton1949 Definitely will thanks !
Awesome movie, thank you again.
Sounds like another great exciting video, if at all possible I definitely will be watching this one for sure thank you for all the hard work you do for fans like me. 👣👣👣
I go the way to experience Bigfoot experiences as if you go by yourself and come in the middle of nowhere here in the Pacific Northwest😂
Thank you Alek for another very interesting video. You met new people along the way. I think it was interesting and fun. The rain part was very funny. And you guys made it light and fun. That was nice. Thank you again. Until your next journey. Take care.
FL is my state, it's the most beautiful and interesting state I've ever lived in, and I've lived in a few. Yes there are Sasquatch/ Skunk ape. You also have to remember, there are a ton of hogs and especially armadillo. That sounds like a freight train when they go crashing through those dead palm floors there in FL.
Very cool, looking forward to this .
By god even bigfoot has a ton of paperwork and forms to fill.😊
i love your content! its all so interesting, i always set my notifications to remind when your premiering something❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this
🤗🏆🙏💙👣
The skunk apes are probably watching them from a mile away rolling their eyes at their teenage laughter and carrying on
Probably 🤣
I don't get it. People just plan,strategize, pack gear, etc. knock, holler and so on.
We used to simply sit in camp quietly and eat. That's all it takes, especially if you're two females. You couldn't get me to walk around the farm at night alone.
@@SmallTownMonstersI still enjoyed watching, thanks !
They probably walked right past them on several occasions and never knew it.
@@birdsflowers2289 I bet they would get more activity with zero equipment but they want to document it
Great endorsement for the STA-DRI 1000 hunting blind.
😂😂😂
Great show 👏
I've said this before...but, people see St. Petersburg and Ft. Lauderdale and think Florida is just jam packed with people. But, as some of the drone footage in this video shows, you get to the interior of Florida and there is nothing. For miles and miles and miles and miles, just nothing but nature.
so true. there's a lot of wild uninhabitated areas. Lived in florida for most of my childhood Miami and daytona beach.
N Florida is pretty heavily wooded too...large forests, swamps, big lakes, rivers....we have everything but mountains here in Florida.
…and bugs and gators and humidity! Lived in Florida for 30 years…it’s not Disney!
I live in Orlando and just driving through the state I get that feeling nothing but nature
Another great adventure video Aleks. Thank you for all your hard work. Just being out in skunk ape territory in itself is brave. And all the mosquitos and other creepy crawlers y'all endure is crazy!
The big guy is out there, you'll find him👣👣👣
Extra treats for Chewy. He earned them..🐕
Ill be on the dogs team 😂😂😂😂😂
I love close to the corridor!!!! Cant wait to see this one!!!!
Interesting, and wonder what the mumbling was????
I fear that one of these days, videos like this will be the only record of the natural flora and fauna of these areas. Very glad that Aleks & Seth are putting these out, if only for that reason alone.
I really hope that is not the case but I understand what you are getting at. Hopefully we can continue to preserve these wild places for future generations. Thanks for checking out the video -Aleks
Great point!
Thank you for going out and doing real field work a lot better than seeing the same interviews over and over keep up the good work
I love watching you guys on these night investigations! It was awesome. Thanks for doing this, y'all looked like everyone had a blast! I really laughed at the leaking blind.We all got a kick out of seeing that. I hate it for y'all I know it was miserable, but sometimes your night just doesn't go as planned, and Poor Chewy getting wet, but he was the hit of the show! Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed it!! Keep up the good work. 🩷✝️🙏👣🦍
Greetings from Toledo, Ohio.
Hey there Mark!
Great video again guys !!
Lovely weather at the end
Definitely made for some good laughs 😂
😂😂
Watched and appreciated in the Missouri Ozarks.
Alex, greetings from 🇷🇸
Love seeing how the evidence collection process is improving
Hello big foot is watching and curious what you all are doing too
Come to the Pacific Northwest end Camp by Mountain Helens and I can guarantee you you either see something or hear something😂
Sasquatch is only going to be found if he wants to.
You don't find him
Agree
Another amazing journey with the best team out there, see you on the next one best wishes from Scotland 👣🥃🏴
Come back to Colorado. Lots of activity this time of year
I’ve personally have experience hearing conversations, as ppl do during some kinds of paranormal hauntings
We are looking into tribes from the land and the language ,a medium also has had strong feelings about that particular area of the Indians that were on that land and something is buried there
Awesome!
Great Job brining the adventure here for all of us to enjoy. Excellent job filming, capturing the highlights and keeping it real.
Thanks man!
Thanks Jonathan, it was a great time and full credit to Matt for putting it all together! -Aleks
😁🤣🤭🙄🥰LOVE THE ENDING💯👍
CHUEY, AWESOME DOG💯👍
Lol😂😂😂 I'm not saying it was Birds but it was probably birds! Best line ever, I finally get Georgeos Tsukalos's whole "Im not saying it's Aliens, but it's probably aliens" out of my head!😅
Our group was down in the swamp by the river and saw wild pigs however we did hear music but I believe it came from the road. So much wildlife in there and it was a great area I did get something black like a cat but think it was possibly a wild pig
Awesome episode!
Good job as usual.
In the swamp with the gators at night? Got more guts than I have! Awesome show guys, thanks!
💯 BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING LOOKING WOODS , LOVE THESES WOOD, I BELIEVE THEY'RE THERE WITH YOU'S !! 🌲🪳🌿🌳🔱✨️🤟🏻👍🏼👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻💞🌎🤙🏻Thanks for sharing this BEAUTIFUL 🐕🐵🦍VIDEO !! ❤👣✌🏻🔱💞🌎🤙🏻🤟🏻BEAUTIFUL MOON !! 🪵🏕🌝
I've spent many years in that area. One time I was coming out of a seven eleven and saw a sasquatch sticker on a guy's truck. I started asking him what he thought about sasquatch and he told me that while out in the Green Swamp something threw rocks and dirt balls at himself and his hunting buddy. They were out checking on their deer stands or blinds just before season started.
Hello from washington state. Thank you for a great video. I enjoyed wtching. Hope to watch more of your videos. ❤ Love Chewy, he's an awesome dog. I love german sheppards.
That was good, you changed it up big time, but BRILLIANT idea
👋Alek, always great informative research and filming of the location of the research area. Your interviews are on point. Sorry for the late watching, but more than likely, I will watch it again. I admire you & Eli's presentation. Seth Breedlove, as a filmmaker producer of STM, always has great quality in his work ethics.
I live a ten minute drive from the green swamp and that's where I had a couple of my encounters. The green swamp is alive 24/7 with all kinds of wildlife, including the skunkape.
Abundance of wildlife ,especially in the bottleneck area where game move through constantly
I think if you truly want to find a large animal in the FL woods you need a drone with a thermal camera. There's no hiding from a FLIR cam without a cave, and I know from being a FL man that there aren't enough caves around to hide in. I think a few drones flying grid searches should be able to figure out exactly what is out there.
Yeah, though it's almost as if we don't have permission to document with a camera. Scripture has already been written once, and doesn't need to be repeated. Just getting out in the mystery of it all is well enough.
Too thick. Nope. Disagree. I’d use it but it’s not or can’t be said that’s the only way.
@@CentralFloridaBigfoot Gee, imagine that, yet another NEGATIVE comment from the "expert" who still hasn't found one.😂 A nice person, who's not a narcissist would answer, "Hmm, maybe that's an idea I'll try", but not you. Apparently the police and military have nothing on you. 😂😂
On the map, one of the developments is called “Big Daddy Estates” - how quintessentially Florida 😂
Are they inter dimensional, able to cloak? Theres a lot we still don’t know, but would explain a lot. 34:37 top right, left of the thin dark tree. You can clearly make out a face there. Skin tone helps it hard to spot. 53:35 there looks to be two peeking to the right of your face roughly below your eye line, either side of the tree. You can make out facial features and dark eyes, esp the one closer to you. You get a better look of them at 53:45 and the difference in their skin tones. The one on the right is much lighter. 1:02:04 think theres a couple behind the guy to the left, behind those bushes behind him. Best way to catch them out is with rear facing cameras. They’ll pop their heads up thinking you’ve missed them and have your back to them.
Chewy a good Boi, pet him for us 😅
Niceee
I hope all of you gentlemen, know how much we appreciate each one of you! And I'm sure hoping that you all embraced the suck🤣
If you come to Louisiana again look me up!
You can't mistake a Barred Owl folks. With their famous "Who cooks for you" hoot call. I've been in the avian field for 30+yrs working hands on with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey. And they are one of the more common owls i here pretty much wherever i am either camping or doing field research. So for the folks unfamiliar with these birds or sounds just know your hearing an owl. Although i must say that squatches are VERY good mimics. But not that good that you couldn't tell the difference. Perhaps to an untrained ear.
I love hiking the Green Swamp , its so creepy and gorgeous at the same time . I have seen a few strange things but always pretend its nothing , I don't want to be too scared to go back 😂
Love Aleks's work! IMHO, had too many people going out, especially with all the talking and joking around making noise. I don't do these activities but even I know, never put your gear (audio recorders, FLIR, etc) away until you get back to camp!!!
Wonderful group of folks! So glad to see Brian and Chewy! Really enjoyed watching!
it was good to see you having a joke over the rain
It was a hilarious moment for sure, especially because there isn't really anything you can do about it right then! Thanks for watching. -Aleks
I'd laugh if something started climbing up the other side of that tree your in 😂😂
As a bass fisherman, wildlife photographer, and herpetology enthusiast, I can confidently say that i have clocked close to a thousand hours throughout Florida. Mostly in the Everglades and Big Cypress. All hours of the bugbitten day. Still have yet to see a footprint, out of the ordinary broken branch, or the Big Fella himself. Many interesting finds like black bear, crocodilians, monitor lizards, monkey, otter,peacock, parrot, chameleon,panther, rather large snakes,and many others.But still no signs of the Big Fella.
I know that the app said "Homo sapiens" with regards to that mumbling, but I suspect that you had a near encounter with Homo floridensis methamcephalus, a VERY dangerous and unpredictible species endemic to that region.
This is a great comment, I started to LMAO. Unfortunately there are people probably on Google looking up that species! 😂😂😂😂👍
Aleks be careful when climbing, you do not want to hug the tree. I cut out about 25 feet up years ago and ended up with my shirt over my face and my stomach and chest tore up bad with hundreds of slivers and deep gashes. Climb with keeping 3 points of contact to the tree moving one hand or foot at a time, takes longer but falling is not fun. The sudden stop hitting the ground really hurts too. Be safe climbing. Chewwy is a great dog. I hope you guys find mumbling Marvin and get good video.
Make friends with a military Or larp dude, he has all the equipment you need plus more and he will have it all conveniently strapped to his chest while looking into the night with his nods and his rifle mounted thermal system. Scissors, tweezers, rubber gloves, mask and stuff sacks are all normal gear that everyone in the military space or even most air soft larpers will have on their kit. Also the air soft crowd tends to be pretty well tuned into finding human shaped targets in the woods lol. I don't think the average person could "hunt" a Bigfoot but a well coordinated well prepared team with military training might be able to trick one. If the natives are to be believed there is little chance of catching one unless you outsmart it and you have to use war tricks to do that.
Wow
tree stand was smart way , when you deer hunt you use them ,you see more animals up there
Spoiler alert I live on the edge of the green swamp, I have hunted the area for forty plus years now and have never seen anything out of the ordinary Deere and hogs. I’ve stayed out there at night in order to be in my stand before daylight.
I guess that is a spoiler to you. LOL
@@CentralFloridaBigfoot On God, you're the true definition of a douche canoe.
What are you talking about? That doesn't mean you're going to have a sasquatch experience.
@@joshhoward8592 What are you talking about - no spoiler alert for us.
Thanks, really for your work!! Go to the Mogollon rim, i sure it will be intresting, at least.
Regards from France.
I swear....Aleks looks like the lead singer of the band Breaking Benjamin
As I turn another foot
In this diary of squatch.
@smashrails2175 I still try to find my place in the diary of Squatch!
Make a walk around your campsite to see if Bigfoot was going around the area too . And keep the tents closer to main tent too
471 is the trucker shortcut to Lakeland. I've been through there all hours of the day and night. Never saw a skunk ape yet. But I did see a ghost. I have had a Class A sighting in St.Johns county. I believe one of these corridors is also between I-95 and the St.Johns river.
There's a hotspot in Florida everyone misses. Osceola Forest. Okefenokee is connected to this area. It is huge. I have penetrated some of the more isolated regions. There's plenty of sign, game, & sightings. People here don't even report it anymore.
Maybe the reason why skunk ape can't be found in Florida is maybe they use the underwater caves , they stretch throughout the entire state
or maybe they just lay in the water all day to stay cool?
@@CentralFloridaBigfoot I was going to check out your channel because I'm very interested in this subject, especially around the Green Swamp in Florida. But to be honest, after reading every comment on here that you responded to, including this one, which is NOT being mean, but just offering a suggestion, you have responded to EVERY comment with a snarky, sarcastic, know it all response. You really come off as a total A**HOLE. People already have a hard time believing Bigfoot exists and your condescending high horse responses are ridiculous. They are totally unprofessional, and not necessary. The TRUTH is that NOBODY actually knows ANYTHING ABOUT these creatures. Everything is just speculation and theories. So quit acting like you're some kind of professional on the subject or you would have captured one by now, not just shown casts, hair, noises, and stories that every single other "researcher" has shown. I'm definitely NOT even going to bother to look at your channel, much less subscribe to it, which I would have done BEFORE reading all your nasty and rude comments to anyone who didn't bow down and kiss your EGO. Then you Bigfoot researchers wonder why there is so much drama within your community. This is why. You should be ashamed of yourself for acting like this.
@@CentralFloridaBigfoot By the way, if you really think that Bigfoot is just floating around the canals all day to stay cool, maybe you should get on that, maybe you'd actually get footage of one finally, smarta**. 🙄🤔🤔🤔
Man, I wish you would see this. I live in Lakeland just miles from lower green swamp. Where did you search?
dude get yourself a regular climbing stand your going to get hurt with that contraption just get a regular climbing stand you wear like a backpack much safer and much more comfortable theres alot of ways you can screw that up and get hurt and there is all kinds of things you can buy to mount cameras and whatever else and they are light weight they are pretty dummy proof which is good for me lol
This is a perfectly safe and tested system using parts commonly used by thousands of people each year for saddle hunting. It's all designed for this kind of stuff, saddle hunting is becoming a very common and practical system that is portable when compared to carrying around a giant fixed tree stand or climbing stand.
I actually had an encounter out there years ago. I was walking down the main trail at 9 at night when I herd some chatter which I thought was raccoons but quickly turned into high pitch talking. It kept on saying light. It was talking about my high beam flash light. I suddenly got a sense of dread and emiditley left I I didn't see anything but I really felt that who or what was making those noise didn't want me there
If you watch when you are talking to Eric Swason at 10:44 to 10:47 when he is saying “techniques people are using”, there is a deer I think walking up out of the brush in front of that camera pole he was holding. It was some kind of animal it didn’t look like a dog, kinda looks like a deer. Its kinda low to the ground. Please go watch it and let me know what you see and think it is. Thanks love watching yalls videos.
Krutovamnaitibikfuta😉🫢🫢🤗🥰🦧🦧.
I can't imagine they are going to find any evidence of bigfoot with so many people exercising minimal noise and light discipline. Most animals that avoid humans can smell them coming a mile away. Nobody in this expedition is doing anything to mask their scents. I understand this is a training exercise, but stealth and the element of surprise is important when tracking any animal and should be of primary importance.
It was more of a blitz tactic to confuse - if animals move away, they would pass another group. We had 12 groups out there sitting. That in itself would be a huge element of surprise for this area. Unexpected to any animal hanging in this area.
Saw something when you all were walking in the area 3 day check it out too .big foot was going around you and using the restroom
