- In the Fall of 2021 I went on a solo Backpacking trip into the Wild Sierra. I made camp, had dinner and late at night herd a series of strange and frightening sounds that made me feel threatened...I never told anyone what happened. Until Now!!

Somewhere else in the valley another solo camper was terrified hearing Chris howling 😂
Chris, have a similar story. Was up At Eleanor Lake behind Naramata BC, right at the very top of the mountain, it’s a very remote and beautiful place; we actually had to clear fallen trees off the road to get up there.
About 2:am something started walking around and around our tent, for about 2 hours; it smelled horrible, made a huffing grunting sound and rubbed against the tent. We were terrified as we thought it was a bear. As soon as it was light enough, and the smell and sounds could not be detected anymore, we literally rolled our tent and camp into a ball and fled the mountain. We had no food in the tent, it was in the trunk, but I’m now wondering, with the pushed over trees upon the road and the length of time it rubbed up against our tent, that it was maybe something else telling us to get the heck out of their territory. Well it worked; we did , and we never went back.
I will just say this is classic Bigfoot behavior, even though it may have been something else. Sometimes this behavior will go on all night.
I spent much of my younger years camping. What I’ve learned is you are never alone, no matter how deep you go into the wilderness. Nowadays, I only camp in crowded campgrounds. There’s some strange noises for sure.
Hell, l would never consider going out by myself. Not just for safety reasons either; eg if you get hurt, lost, whatever. Fill in the gaps...wild animals - bigger than you....Or plain scary, hair on the back of your neck stuff.😮
That was hilarious, "Nowadays, I only camp in crowded campgrounds. There’s some strange noises for sure." I had to laugh because my husband and I got busy in our tent one time at the sequoias. When I tried to say hello to a lady and her daughters the next morning-I found out that their tent was pretty close to ours. All I got in response was a nasty glare from the mom. Sex ed came too early......oops! My bad.
I would never consider camping in a campground, people can be noisy, being attuned to the surroundings helps enormously,I've camped alone for 34 years and had plenty weird stuff go down
I just turned 25 years old. You are an inspiration, I will finally go solo camping as I haven't had guts for that❤️ you are an interesting man!
Thank you Theodore- when you first go out I would keep it simple / short distance and an interesting place to you! Chris🏔
I always suspected, as much as your out in the wilderness, that you must have had something you weren't telling us. Sounds like a sasquatch to me. Great story, Thx Chris
I was thinking the same exact thing 😂
And bullshit to me.
@Ayn Rand Is Dead a few
The whistle too, glad he had it with him.
@Ayn Rand Is Dead The Fountainhead; Atlas Shrugged (+ more..). Why the name? I googled. Lol Curious, though, and I'd like to know why you chose the name , if you don't mind. Thank you.
I think I will be putting off solo camping for just a bit. 😂 not sure my heart would live through an episode of that many creatures around my tent. 😂
Your heart would do great... don't let fear rule your life!!
One of your Best Stories yet.
Water & Woods attract everything.
Climbing out of my tree stand at night, Oct bow hunting, I came face to face w several pairs of Red Eyes at eye level w me. I was far out in a swamp and All of ‘’us’’ were Startled. They silently disappeared and I was left alone w my heart beating quickly. Back at camp the others told me I was Not supposed to stay out there after dark. They insisted but wouldn’t say why!
I love the stories you tell, Chris. I backpacker and camped around the world for 63 years and never experienced any " bump in the night" stories. Kind of boring. 😴 During my hikes indaylight I encountered black bear without incident. The only scare I had was while taking care of personal business under a pine tree I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up...felt like I was being watched. As I slowly turned I spotted a mountain lion in a crouched position staring at me. I stood up, raised my arms and started yelling. My friends heard me and ran down the trail towards me. The cat turned and ran down the other side of the rock ledge
I've had several black bear encounters and wolf but encountering a mountain lion, that makes my skin crawl and would scare the bejeebers out of me!!!
@@Badmoose64really??? More than the wolf and the bear?? 🫣
, definitely. Most wolves and bear are going to run upon hearing you or seeing you, I have had a bear come through my camp but it never showed signs of aggression or irritation and quickly wandered off, I 've also had wolves come into camp, steal some fish and wander away but for me, a mountain lion has that unpredictability factor that has me hoping I never come face to face with one.
🇨🇦yeah. Chris comes through. ❤
You ever thought to put a trail cam up looking over your camp Chris to review after you get up?
That is so spooky! I could never go solo camping knowing what I know is possibly out there now!
I got a safety whistle last year and it has really mellowed me out camping. If you ever hear anything while youre out again please hit record! love your stories as usual Chris and glad its warming up! cheers!!!!
Watching your videos and hearing your stories have become a favorite part of my weekend. They make me homesick for the western mountains. Thanks for sharing.
Got to get my Chris fix. You're doing an amazing job with your channel. Love everything about it 👍 Thank you
Thanks 👍
Really love to hear your stories! I didn’t know for sure that I was in Sasquatch territory until many years later I heard vocalization recordings on a radio show that I listen to. I think a lot of people have this realization later as well when they become more educated.
Hi Art!
I watch this channel every night because its peaceful , i feel like im on a little adventure and it cheers me up. Th ankyou Chris . Im not as adventurous as i use to be and im not sure why.
I'm not as adventurous as I used to be either. For me I think some of the reason is because of trauma that happened to me and I kinda stopped living fully! 😢😔
Hey it's never too late to get back out there and find an adventure for either of you. Y'all two maybe could even do it together..?🤷 Well, if your situation and relations allow for it.
Check out "camping with Steve" youtuber.
Thank you for sharing your personal story of "something that went bump in the night." I always appreciate everything you do to share your experiences with us.
Love your stories. No one can know if that is a sasquatch or not but, even if it was a bear, that's freaking scary. You stay safe out there! One of my neighbors heard a weird one note tooting outside in the dark behind her house. She freaked out, thought it was a mountain lion or a sasquatch. She posted it to social media. It turned out to be an owl. But I do live in sasquatch territory and one has been reported within a few miles of my house so it is a legit fear.
Remember, though, if you howl into the void, the void might very well howl back...
Loved your personal story Chris. I always wondered if you'd had any strange happenings out there. Great howl btw!
Hi from France, Chris ! Ihave to say how much I enjoy your concept and your way to tell stories. You remind me an old buddie of mine and it's good. Keep your excellent job, please and thank you.
What a gorgeous vista behind you! It looks so refreshing. Thanks for bringing us along!
That would be very scary, especially being nighttime. The whistle is a great idea and seemed to scare whatever it was away. So it got a taste of its own medicine, being the scare-ee instead of the scare-er. Another good Sunday evening story, Chris.Your upcoming plans sound exciting and we'll all be watching for your videos. KH!
I'd take 2 guns with me, and a friend. We love this stuff, safely watching here in UK 🇬🇧😀
Thank you for sharing your scary encounter Chris, I was on the edge of my seat! Stay safe out there! 🙏
And the flickering lanters and guest Beer appearances are great!!
Thanks Chris for sharing your story. Believe the whistle probably hurt what ever it was ears. Thank goodness you had it. Take care
So Happy you had that whistle Chris !!!!! Sounds like it was a big foot and very interested in what/who You were. Stay safe and I am so pleased for you that winter is gone and you will be back in the environment that brings you joy; and we will continue to be the beneficiaries.
-> Or even possibly a Dogman; they don't like siren sounds or shrill, loud whistles, from what accounts I've heard.. But, most likely, a Bigfoot, judging by everything.. First Nations & Native Americans do not advise whistling in the woods at night, But, in this case, it was an Extremely High decibel whistle, & that was enough to deter whatever creature came near!! Probably wondered what else Chris had with him for deterrence!! ☺️ Divine Angelic Safeguarding, & Many Blessings, ALL!! 😻🙇🏻♀️🙏🏼🕊️👼🏻❄️🏔️🌄
Great video. Sharing an account with my bf my names Tanya I ha e found myself playing your videos and just listening before I fall asleep at night, in saying that I ha e a vivid imagination mix that with the stories you tell and right before falling asleep it makes for some pretty weird dreams at times.😂😂 anyway keep up the awesome videos. Sorry for the chapter book lol. ❤ edit... I have had experiences myself and don't tell a lot of people less than a handful actually for fear of being labeled "crazy" but I know what I saw more than once over the years beginning when I was a little girl. I can still see what I have just like it were yesterday I live in VT lots of wilderness around where I live. I said sorry for the chapter book yet here I am still writing 😂 you are a wonderful story teller BTW. ☺
We are very interested to hear any and all accounts that u have had in ur life my dear!!
No judgment here✌️🍻✌️🍻
Thanks for sharing your story Chris!
Looking forward to many more this summer. Cheers👍
Thanks for the great content Chris. I always look forward to your vids. I see you're so close to 100k subs. Well done!👏👏👏
Love your howl, omg that was great! You sounded like a real wolf Chris! You're doing so great man, here's to 100k right around the corner. SNPA has always been a fave of mine too, I'm sure close to 100% of the community here shares that sentiment. 🍻😊
My favorite beer Chris, and it's pretty hard to find here in central Florida too, you'll about $12 a sixer of bottle, 😢 I been saving the bottles so I can start brewing at home, anyways back to your testimonial and I can't wait to hear it, yikes here we go !😊
Love your videos, Chris! You inspire me to get out there and hike, camp and go exploring. I do believe that there are strange things going on in our National Parks. I believe the Native Americans when they say to not go into certain areas. Thank you for all of the work you do!😀☀️
I think it would be so fun to go camping with you ; I’m sure others would love it as well, plus you make some pretty nice meals too!
I know many more things probably bumped into your hikes and camping trips that you didn't even realized or understood. You go in deep into the wild and by yourself. Something is bound to happen. That's why we always say be extra careful and stay safe. It is also good to know that you go prepared and let your relatives or friends know where you are.
I love your videos Chris, the stories are top shelf and always a treat!!👹💝
Great vid Chris. Your hiking/cooking videos are missed!
Glad you like them!
Also I will be doing more cooking! Hiking!
@@basecampchris Keep Hiking!
I’ve been watching your stories for about a week now and I love them. I just realized today that I haven’t subscribed yet but I took care of that right away, I’m a new subscriber but it feels like we are old friends already.
By the way I was born in 1963 so we were raised through the same era. 😊
Thanks for sharing your experience. What’s good is that you still camp out solo in the woods. So keep bringing us great stuff. I think I do remember that video you mentioned. I never thought it would be that experience.
What a beautiful scenery !!
Can’t wait for you to reach 100k subscribers. You really deserve it. I just love your channel. You’re an amazing storyteller. 😊
Top 5 story from BCC in my opinion! I wondered when you were going to circle back on this story. I always appreciate your stories that are in my neck of the woods. Thanks, Chris KH...
Great story Chris, and what a location to film from! Looking forward to more videos from you now that the weather is starting to warm up! I too solo camp and am more cautious of grizzly bear (thick here in NW Wyoming) but not quite sure how I would react to the unexplained "bump in the night" being alone! If that was to ever happen, I will contact you for sure! Keep sharing and Keep Hiking..
Honestly my favorite channel on tube !!! I’m gonna have to tell you my weiser state forest 🌳 story here in Pennsylvania ! Your very inspiring my friend ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Love the stories,unfortunately in place where i live ,here is no sasquches never been ,non ,nothink ,not even one.
Plenty forests,rivers,lakes,but not even one sasquach!
So thats why i love your stories.
Cant wait for next one.
Thank You!
I love your stories… they always have me sitting on the edge waiting for what is coming next… you are a brave soul always going out in the bush… so many strange things hiding in the dark of the night… please be safe 🙏🏼 you are a great story teller that’s for certain❣️
Same
👍🏻
Chris you gotta start telling some insane survival stories, love your channel ♥️
Thanks for sharing your own scary story, Chris! You’re a master storyteller and wonderful part of my weekend!
I just came across your channel and absolutely love listening to you telling others experiences.
Cool Story Chris, I really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing!
I live in the woods in upstate New York. A couple of times I've heard this weird sound, and finally witnessed what it is. Did you know that deer make a loud sound if they are upset and want to scare something away? This deer was out in the meadow stomping her foot and making a loud noise, I thought she was possibly telling a bear to stay away. I heard this again 2 nights in a row midnight just outside the window!
The loud CHUFF noise? Sounds like a sneeze/cough type combo? They do that all the time.
@@michellebehr7669 yes really loud, very upset
@@michellebehr7669 maybe that Deer did catch rona
I'm in New York as well , that white tail noise is like an alarm or warning I think. Yeah, I've noticed it more when they've got their fawns around
I have heard the white tails do that in western PA. My eyesight is not good, and I walked past a doe less than 6 feet from me. She did that snort and ground paw before loping off.
Another interesting video thanks for posting Chris 👍😁
Blowing your whistle was a brilliant idea! Glad you are safe and sound! Great story, thanks for sharing.
I never use to be afraid of anything until I went and lived on a mountain in a cabin in NC. I will never stay on a mountain ever again. I lived there over 3 years. I heard growling like that one night when I had a fire in my fire pit I made in my driveway. My cat was out there with me and he heard it too. We both ran for the cabin and never had a night fire again. I put a new fire pit on my porch. I moved away after my cats were disappearing. I been gone 1year July 5th this year. No more mountain living for me. Be safe out there.❤️😊
I knew you would have a personal story since you hike so much. It was spooky. ❤
That is so cool that now, because you've heard others stories, you're mind is more open to new possibilities and experiences!
Stay safe out in those beautiful forests and thanks for all the chilling stories!
Sounds like a Sasquatch. Great video Chris! Looking forward to the next.
I understand why you adopted that mtn range. Stunningly beautiful.
Great story and beautiful “green screen” 😂. I just dragged out my hiking gear the other day to get it ready for the season. When I pulled out my storm whistle, my husband and I were talking about what a great predator deterrent it could potentially be, you just supported our hypothesis. Not sure I’d try it if I encountered a squatch though, I’d probably be too scared to blow! Keep up the great story telling!
You keep that whistle close Sherry makes a person feel good to have a saftey item mines a glock.
Smart to remember to use your whistle! I love the sound of the rushing waters
That's why I appreciate so much to hear the stories of others.. some of us have experiences with an unknown something yet more on the lean of it having a different feel to it.. having something sound far in the distance, and then b line to your tent.. is something you felt to be unusual or strange or spooky..there are many degrees of encounters.. that help one connect a similarity.. every story has value, details of insight.. & bring awareness..how to fathom, the absolute shock it would be.. to feel a true visual encounter.. these stories really have my full attention.. thankyou for all your effort & care.. to open a space for anyone to come forward & share.. I really liked your idea of blowing your whistle or even having it.. I'm going to get one those..
Chris never disappoints ❤.
A new version of "The Howling" 😉😁 Cool story! Guess you have to be prepared for anything out in the woods.
You may have posted it before in another video, but could you post a (Amazon, etc) link to the whistle? Handy to have one of those. Thanks.
Just ordered the whistle! Thanks Chris!
Wow! Goosebumps here!
Scary story Chris. Thank you for sharing your experience. Would love to have one of those whistles!!
Interesting story. Back in the early 80s, I took my future wife of 40 yrs. to the Southern Nantahala Mtns. She wasn't used to hiking and we had started up a steep loose black dirt trail straight up to the peak. She begged off and went back to the old Standing Indian AT shelter and I continued up. Literally hand and feet climbing but in heavy hardwood forest (nothing like it). A few minutes later, I hear something heavy following me. I assume (wanting it to be) that it's Donna changing her mind and call her name. Nothing. I continue up and whatever it was continued following me but I felt that it wasn't on the trail. When I would stop, it would stop. I was getting concerned as there are a lot of Black Bear in the So. Nantahala Wilderness Area. I turned and continued up and then heard the unmistakable sound of a large rotten log Crunch! At that point, I thought, I KNOW that's a bear. I did literally run to the bald at the top. I remember nodding and saying to myself, uh huh, uh huh and turning around and bumping my butt all the way down. Never saw it but thought for years that it was a bear, Now, not so sure. Rob in GA.
Great story Chris, thanks for sharing it! I also loved the background, the spectacular view and the sound of the water. Greetings from a fan in Puerto Rico.😊
Oh my gosh I absolutely love your stories! I rushed home from church today to see if you had another video uploaded! Thank you so much! God bless you!
That was so smart to blow your whistle. It very well saved your life!. God bless.
Bigfoot hears a human in trouble and so rushed to help only to get his ears drums blasted. The coyote probably was a BF also. They love to mimic other animals. Especially owls. I'm so happy to hear you stopped your howling. 🤣
It is rare that I start raving to my partner about another channel, but I did just that when I found out about Base Camp Chris. I'm so happy I discovered the channel and wonder why I didn't before! Fantastic job!
Good to hear that the whistle made them run away. Stay safe out there and keep the stories coming.
So I am watching this from Australia. So when Chris does his demonstration howl, my black Labrador jumps up & starts barking LOL 😂.
LOL - Call of the Wild! C
I live in NW Arkansas -I pray y,'all are safe from all the storms we have been having. You are fortunate to have found a reliable mechanic. Thank you for sharing him with us ❌⭕❌⭕
I think you have earned a mountain to be named after you. -Fan from Maryland, east coast of USA
I had a feeling Chris you had a story tucked away there. The fact you have a Big foot masked out in a doorway at home got me thinking ages ago.
Beautiful location today, love the snow with the stream flowing by. Thank you for a very unexpected /expected story..🤔❤🇦🇺🦘
I suspect the majority of sasquatch encounters are a "let me tell you about it later" story that goes unspoken, you sir have a good thing going, well done!
Thanks for the story Chris and showing some of the scenery, it is beautiful out there.
I was up in the Lost World Plateau , Mt Stuart area, Washington in the 70's, and just below is snow lakes basin. Despite cooking 200 ft away from the tent, a wolverine came calling at 0100 hrs, . I head the pots and Svea stove being molested, switched on the torch, and yelled. Behold, Mr Wolverine sized me up, and decided nothing I had was consumable. Lucky for me, it could have torn me to pieces, as they are known to fear nothing, including elk and bear. Being alone out there is always a humbling experience.
Hi Chris Great views of the countryside thanks for the Story watching from the UK looking forward to more Stories
Chris, friend, please take others with you, especially when you do your late afternoon-to-evening episodes. Not only are they creepy, but some of these places can be kind of dicey, even in daylight. (And you certainly don't want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere with no one around for miles 😬)!
It's only you and another youtuber that I fined legitimately believing. Always love your videos. Keep them coming chris
Great story, Chris! Thank you for sharing! It's beautiful out your way!
Good thing you had that whistle Chris, pretty creepy one buddy being surrounded like that, cool story and love you too brother :)
Love your stories. I don't know how you can go out like that by yourself. I am the type who likes to go to parks and stay in a nice lodge. : )
Nice story, Not only do I remember that original story when you posted it. I had commented that you owed us a story too, lol
I turned 21 in 1988 August 2nd. Reggae on the River is always first weekend of august. So I bought a Keg of Sierra Nevada Pale ale and took it up to Reggae on the River French's Camp 1988. Yay.
😮 Chris, kinda of a scary story you told there....I also wonder what that noise you heard out there. GLAD you were safe though...Have A Good Evening...
Thank you Susan! Chris
I remember seeing that video, and you didn't mention what the noise was.
Thank you for sharing !!
Stay safe 🙏
Great story chris keep hiking
I’m glad you shared your story.
Love you too keep doing what you do
Great story! I love that whistle.
Looks beautiful where you are. I love the outdoors and trees. We'd have to drive about two hours or more north to see forests. Wow, whistle is very loud! I bought it for my granddaughter, after you mentioned it in a previous video, who is in San Francisco, which is just as dangerous now as being in a forest with wild animals. Scary tale, Chris.
As an SF resident who also drives about 2 hrs north for adventures I have to say SF is scarier. Esp at night lol.
@@makisupaPIGman You take your life in your hands there. At night you'd have to be careful what you accidently step in. Same with L.A.
Sunsets always happen in the morning 😂 thanks for your stories
This one plus your stories about finding the footprints at the end of the lake and the night something came near your tent=you've had several potential BF experiences. We all need one of those whistles!
I remember when you were camping that time and the Bridger story and all. I also remember you talking about an incident that night and that you'd tell us about it and then never did, and I was so anxious to hear! Glad you finally got around to telling. Brave fella, for sure! 😮😊 KH
That’s a cool whistle for the “bears” in city living ❤
Chris, your enthusiasm for the outdoors and storytelling is infectious. It puts a big smile on my face every time I watch one of your vids!
Another great story Chris, 💯👍🏕️🐻🫎🦊🦝
Chris, been viewing your channel for a while now and it's quickly become one of my favourites for your credibility and your storytelling ability. I like many other of your subscribers have been an avid outdoorsman for many years, my 1st backcountry camp going back to 1980. Also like many of your subscribers, I have had a Sasquatch encounter, the year being 2007, in the Province of Ontario, while on a winter hike and have been interested in hearing about other people's encounters since. So I just want to say thanks for sharing some fascinating stories and for telling them in some stunning scenery!
cheers Shaun
Thank you Shaun! C🐻
The howling didnt help but the whistle saved the day. 😅😮😊
