Hi Kyle. I just learned that my dad has pancreatic cancer and I am feeling nonfunctional right now. Your download is timely…it’ll take me away for a while. Thank you.❤
@@juliemanarin4127thank you for your kind words. Absolutely we…he…must fight! We don’t have all the information yet but today’s news left us reeling. There’s always hope, for without it, we have nothing.
Me also. I’ve been housebound and usually bedridden for 25 years. I found Kyle’s channel and it’s so interesting. He brings the stories to life and has a real talent as a storyteller.
I'm from Texas and I love your channel. Your compassion for missing persons, your recognition of the volunteer rescue teams and specific details of each case is very interesting. I've been hiking since I was a little girl in the Smoky Mountains with my parents, and your advice about safety so parallels the rules my hiking parents gave to us in the 60's. I just finished walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain, the French Way, and my friend and I followed all your advice. We had paper backup maps, instructions and emergency numbers, in case our phones didn’t work or were out of range, kept our husbands aware of our daily routes, checked in every morning and evening, and if we weren't sure we were on the route, we stopped, checked our surroundings, came to an agreement regarding correct route, and then kept going. We stayed together and didn’t separate. We finished the camino successfully with no injuries, no lost ways, and we just had a fantastic time following time-tested hiking safety rules. Thanks so much for your channel, and I hope you reach 1 million soon.
The #1 rule of scouts, boys and girls, is the buddy system. Always have at least one other person with you. In so many of these stories, the scout leaders teaching this rule always fail to reinforce the rule which results in losing kids. If you have different kids at different pacing, you need to provide enough adult coverage for each paced group. The one and only backpacking trip I took with a group of teens and young adults made sure that everyone was in a group of at least 3 if less experienced, of with one experienced leader, both adults and teens. They had one adult with the last hiker, one with the first hikers, and spaced in between making sure they didn't lose anyone. We all made it through the entire hike. We had a stranger who was weirdly "casing" our camp, and three of the experienced leaders confronted him and told him to leave. He did. When we left more than 20 feet from the camp, we were to have a buddy. We lost nobody.
Yup. On all camping trips we were supposed to use the buddy system anytime we left camp. Collecting firewood? Take your buddy. Going on a hike? Take your buddy. Going for a swim? Take your buddy.
Hi. Outsider looking in so to speak, when it comes to the camping/hiking life. I just got curiouse, what does "casting" camp mean? (When I try to google it there's just results regarding doing so during D&D games😅).
I am a repeat viewer, from western NY state, Fredonia to be exact. Haven’t watched in a long time (no particular reason), glad to see and hear you again.
I being a very hesitant senior (past70 years ) to go on hikes , with bugs that bite , animals who could hunt me etc 😅 …i have had admiration for the people who are so adventurist .
Kyle always offers such great insight to the stories and shows the upmost respect to the individuals and their families. I am 65 years old and I take everything to heart that is shared on this channel. Also- I purchased element salts for my husband. He works in a autobody shop at 67 years old. Sometimes the shop reaches 105°. He doesn’t get muscle cramps anymore. I love this product.
My two cents on the Jared Negrete disappearance: He was an unsupervised 12 year old boy that had been left behind by his scout group because he was out of shape and slow. He wanted to get a head start on heading back down the trail (speaking from the evidence of where other hikers last saw him and as an overweight/slow hiker that often thinks that way when hiking in a group). He was trying to cut through the switchbacks. Because he was doing this, he didn't realize he had reached the end of the switchbacks and either ended up on another trail or just lost. At some point he probably dropped his stuff. This case just sounds like a tragic accident to me. He should have had an adult with him, end of story. We don't trust children to make adult decisions or hold them to adult accountability specifically because they make poor choices. When the 2nd troop leader bailed, the hike should have been canceled. Hiking a trail with 15 twelve year olds is unacceptable. Leaving a child behind is unacceptable. Expecting them to do the responsible, adult thing is unacceptable. He likely got lost and died of injuries or exposure and it's a shame. His parents should have sued. [edited for spelling]
i agree with you up until the last sentence. suing someone over an accident is not going to solve anything. it wouldn't bring back their son, and it could seriously cripple what is already a struggling volunteer-driven non-profit organization.
@@jlt131 Shutting down a nonprofit organization for being a non responsible organization is probably the best thing for them so it don't happen again. The family also might as well Sue not saying that it helps the problem but a little something for the family's troubles
Or, his parents could have gone with him. When we were doing hiking, outdoor, or scout activities as kids, a parent(s), aunt or uncle, or another parent who was watching 3 or 4 of us kids if our own parents couldn’t come, was there. It sounds like the ratio of adults (and parents) to kids was not enough. I also agree, sue who ? No, don’t sue. Work to make improvements. It was the kid’s parents who made the decision for him to go on the hike. A sad tragedy. And yes, poor decisions on the adults part.
Sitting in the middle of the forest in Michigan curled up alone at my own personal deer camp. Bow hunting by myself. It's about 11pm and dark as can be. Dunno if this will even get out as cell data barely works out here. Wild thing to listen to alone out here. 😂😂😂
Just looked up the Darsh Patel case: it looks like a couple who were hiking warned the group that a bear had followed them (the couple) aggressively, and suggested the students not continue on that trail; the students still chose to go on and were taking pictures of the bear.
The thing they did wrong was split up and run.In the case of a predatory black bear you want to stay together as a group.And running only kicks it into apex predator mode faster because only prey runs away
Wolves know how to trek and travel . They have the elderly and and slow wolves at the front of the pack . This is so all the wolves move at the same pace ....I love 🐺
@@ninawalker4453 Sorry to burst your bubble, but not they don't. Its a myth. I saw the same photo and also thought it was pretty cool, but its just not true. In reality, wolf packs are typically led by a breeding pair, often referred to as the alpha male and alpha female. These individuals are usually the most experienced and assertive members, guiding the pack's movements, hunting strategies, and overall behavior. The idea of the oldest or sickest wolves leading the pack likely stems from misinterpretations of wolf behavior and social structure. A widely circulated photograph purportedly showing a wolf pack led by elderly or sick wolves has been debunked. The image, taken in 2011 at Wood Buffalo National Park by Chadden Hunter for the BBC series "Frozen Planet," actually depicts a large pack of wolves traveling single-file through deep snow to conserve energy. The wolf at the front is the alpha female, leading the pack during a hunt, not an elderly or sick wolf setting the pace. Renowned wolf biologist L. David Mech has extensively studied wolf behavior and social dynamics. In his 1999 publication, "Alpha Status, Dominance, Leadership, and Division of Labor in Wolf Packs," Mech clarifies that the prevailing view of a wolf pack as a group of individuals vying for dominance, held in check by an alpha pair, is outdated. Instead, he describes the wolf pack as a family unit, with adult parents guiding the group's activities in a division-of-labor system. The notion that wolf packs are led by the oldest or weakest members is a myth. Leadership in wolf packs is typically assumed by the breeding pair, who lead based on experience and social dynamics rather than age or physical condition. Hopefully, you view the notion of a wolf pack lead by an experienced and loving couple in the same high regard as you held the notion of a sick/slow wolf at the front of the pack. By the way, wolves only live in the wild about 4 years and they are typically killed by rival packs over territory disputes. Nature is vicious and does not suffer fools well. I not trying to be mean, but you really need to do your own research about this kind of thing before spreading miss-information on social media. Live in peace, love and truth.

They don't. I thought that was cool for them to do, but it isn't real. They do have respect for older wolves because that grandma and grandpa other then that they just move after the lead wolves. Usually the perants of the pack. @ninawalker4453
@@TruthDragon. Are you an expert, or just relating what you read or heard from someone? The problems with some humans just think animals have no sense of feeling or are just plain fools. People need to really see beyond their understanding, they need to really pay attention of what's around them. Remember, all animals have a sixth sense, while humans have only 5. From the beginning of times, animals have helped humans, while humans sees them as objects to be rid of at the slightest burden. How many people abandon their pets when floods happen? But, they never forget to take their laptops or mementos. Also, people thing they can live with wild animals, such as Bears, Lions, Snakes or any dangerous animals, some of them go as far as bring them to their homes. I just wish that those particular animals need to be free, far from humans.
Kevin Dares, who found Rachel Lakoduk, was Sam Sayers' boyfriend. Sam went missing while hiking to Vesper Peak. You are correct that they were a group of private citizens. They were out looking for both Rachel as well as Tom Simonseth who went missing on the same trail a few months before they were both found. Everyone in the search group was taking a break and Kevin just wandered off without saying a word. He later said he was drawn to go off trail and up and over a small ridge and that's when he found her. It's heartbreaking because he still hasn't found his girlfriend, Sam, but helped give closure to two other families and yet Sam's mom continues to accuse Kevin of being behind Sam's disappearance even though he was at work a hundred miles away when she went missing and was the first person to look for her, the person who reported her missing and was on every subsequent search for her. Many thoughts and prayers for Kevin and Sam. 💜
Hi Kyle! This is Laurie from Las Vegas . I want to warn Hikers in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. I grew up in Colorado and spent time in the mountains. I hiked with my dogs and sometimes my friends. I have found a burial area where women were being dumped, and I have seen all kinds of critters. It isn't safe! Tourists dissappear all the.time. The mountains have their own life.
ok, so given your story about that burial area is true (i'm sure if there actually were multiple female bodies, there's some media coverage?), you're warning us about the colorado rockies based on: 1. some kind of crime that isn't exactly a very frequent occurrence, can happen anywhere, and most importantly, you're actually MUCH more likely to fall victim to in populated areas 2. there being animals in the wilderness. animals. in the wilderness. now, were i to be hiking an area of climatic and geographic conditions similar to the colorado rockies, with as much plant life, i'd probably be VERY concerned if it was NOT teeming with wildlife... 3. the entirely unsubstantiated claim of "tourists disappearing all the time". this is just blatant bs. i'll bet you any sum of money that there is a) absolutely no statistically significant number of tourists disappearing in the colorado rockies when compared with any other mountainous area that's even just remotely similar and b) the vast majority of ppl disappearing, no matter if tourist or not, fall victim to what you're supposed to be falling victim to in a mountain wilderness area (as in not meeting with foul play)...fk, i'd probably bet you that for a number of reasons, even here in switzerland there's a good bunch more foreigners disappearing in the mountains (who will then reappear a cpl decades later, once they've reached the glacier's snout or the ice has receded, which yes, does happen now and then)...
@@Velouria2024 Yes they do. I lived in the Rockies for many years and have been ALL over them. I know much of RMNP and much of the National Forests like the back of my hand. @omaernst is absolutely correct. You aren’t an experienced backpacker and it shows.
i know im late on the posting but i just wanted to say that i most definitely needed this 3 hour long video Kyle. been a shitty day being able to binge watch you helps a ton! I hope you are happy and healthy and staying safe. thanks for your postings
Kyle, Jack died stuck between rocks as his foot got hung up, he kept a journal and wrote to his family, watch the full story on Mr. Ballen , Love your channel you're a great story teller😊
I like your stories and how you tell them in person we can see your expressions and the way you narrate. It is great different from a lot of other channels that I watch so your stories are much appreciated. Commenting on the 22 year-old lost in the woods credible that she lived and was found. I can imagine once you know if you don’t have enough food or water or energy or your mind starts playing tricks on you. I’m sure she was scared to death I wouldn’t have done anything different than she did if my mind played tricks on me but it’s a great story. She came out alive and that’s wonderful. What a great unique story thank you., Cariann
Excellent video. Watching in Virginia. Former archaeologist who often worked in the SW back country. All of your important safety recommendations apply to those who work/live in remote locations, too. Thanks for all the life-saving advice.
Bro it’s such a good channel lol he has found the perfect niche for people like me who spent so much time in the mountains but haven’t recently (due to university). Almost scratched my itch
Watching from London UK, I'm not a massive hiker myself but I'm extremely well travelled and enjoying your channel lots! It's getting harder for me to find good stuff to watch on UA-cam and I find your content refreshing and interesting. I highly recommend Switzerland, go and yodel in the mountains and eat fondue! Yummy :)
Im physically disabled. Stuck in wheelchair or my scooter. I wanted to hike Appalachian trail when I was younger and only needed mobility aids. Never got to it before my legs quit lol. I like hearing your own stories and the fascinating stories of hiking going wrong.
My husband was a navy seal and was dropped in the middle of nowhere many times and after going hiking with him, it blows my mind how people go out on their own so unprepared. Especially young women alone. I don’t even have the words to explain how dangerous it is. My heart goes out to their families.
Many women solo backpack and travel all over the world ~ they go prepared AND come home safe. 🙄 In fact, most of the solo traveling women that I’ve known over the course of my life tend to be much more prepared than many of the men. Stop stereotyping.
^ many people have also done crack and aren’t dead. Go figure. Saying to stop stereotyping about something that’s just blatantly dangerous isn’t adding anything useful to the conversation.
Second! Absolutely love your videos Kyle. You're doing an awesome job. You're not annoying or jam packed with ads. Kudos to you for a great channel! We love you over here in Baltimore ❤
I forgot to add that I was born in New Jersey grew up in California and now live in the great state of Oklahoma! Kyle, you’re doing a great job and don’t listen to your critics. They’re a bunch of lazy trolls and you are an entrepreneur and creating something that is giving joy to people. BTW, I’m an old curmudgeon who can afford to pay for premium and don’t have to listen to ads. They can do the same if they’d get a job ha ha
Pants turned inside out indicate a possible bear attack. The bear skins the jeans off as they are inedible and bears also can skin out animal carcasses for the same reason. Hide and jeans are too difficult to chew through.
Love your stories and truly appreciate your willingness to support those smaller rescue efforts out there!! 🎉 I’ll always be praying for the safety of those who are enjoying the outdoors🙏
It's .always good to be prepared and technology now allows you to have a way for SAR to find you better than just looking. I don't camp alone and I keep my hikes to my limitations. But I do carry a pack with nominal overnight gear just in case i stumble or get lost. When I am able to get back to hiking, I will purchase a personal locator beacon. I'd never heard of those until I started listing to yours and others' podcasts while I'm out disabled. You can imagine I have a lot of time on my hands right now. I thank you and others' channels for advising on gear that would be better to have, etc. That is great for less experienced hikers like me. I can't wait to get back hiking, with and without K9 companions.
When I dayhike, I carry the gear & supplies I would need to get through a night outside unharmed (although nowhere near what I would need to be comfortable overnight). I also bought a PLB now.
I really can't tell you how grateful I am that you don't exaggerate make things up for clicks. We get enough of that.Thank you so much for what you do and most of all how you do it.
Hi, from Lithuania. The country almost as flat as Netherlands:) We have nice old forests to hike, but it's impossible to get lost for good in my country. If you get lost in the forest and are not disabled and not very old, you can reach civilization in several hours, worst case scenario you will spend a night in the woods and next day reach some villige or a random road with traffic. Only in winter it's much more dangerous, because temperatures can drop drasticly at night. So it's very interesting to listen about American wildeness, looks gigantic and so diferent. Thanx for good storytelling, Kyle.
Hi Kyle! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your hard work! You are a born storyteller and I deeply appreciate your empathy and how respectful you are towards all people involved in all the heartbreaking stories you tell. And thank you for all the very important lessons that you manage to teach through your stories! Is there any chance that this youtube channel could become a podcast on spotify? That would be so amazing! I checked out your existing podcast but it doesn't seem to deal with the mistery topics of your channel...I would love to be able to switch off the phone while listening to your stories and doing something else at the same time...please please pleeease🙏🏻
People die sitting in front of their tv on their couch. I truely believe we die when it is our time, no moment sooner, no moment later. And it doesn't matter or you are hanging from a clif out there, or hanging out in your home. I lived my life like that, and it brought me a lot of peace. Much love to you all! 🤗❤(Oh, ps, I am from the Netherlands, and watched a whole bunch of your videos.)
Hi Kyle, greetings from Austria - one of the most beautiful and greatl hikeable countries on planet earth! Thanks for all your videos and hard work! Bye
Just an old Granny from New Zealand, Subscribed, and enjoying your stories thoroughly! One way of learning about rural USA…I ever only got to see your cities.
Every other video that I have watched on this case have also said that there were other bones mixed in with the girls' bones. I just ran across your videos tonight and you have details that I have not heard about this case, so of course I subscribed. I'm so glad you popped up, I needed someone new to watch! ❤
The Kris Krmers and Lisanne Froon case has a lot of misinformation. The bag was NOT dry, and the camera had to go through a drying period. They never hiked with a dog. Kris Kremers' bones were not "bleached" phosphorus build-up yes, which is definitely a natural possibility from rain in this particular atea. The photos had me obsessed with this case for a long time. The hair photo is particularly haunting. I once believed in foul play. After years of research. I believe they died slowly from injuries and the elements. That being said, no one really knows the truth at the end of the day.
I agree with you . I think one of the girls was excited to continue on the trail beyond the vista to see waterfalls and very soon as they hiked down they got lost . Then trying to find their way back , one or both had a fall . Crazy they survived for most likely 7-11 days in the jungle .
No way...they would have left something on the camera to show that. I thought maybe a bear attack? Actually, maybe your rigbt...injured to bad to leave eviddnse.
I think they were using the camera flash as an SOS, or simply to gain vision of their surroundings. The picture of the stick with the red plastic bags attached to the branches looks like the kind of thing someone might MacGyver together as an SOS flag.
@@anenzephalie jaguars live in the jungle where they were hiking . So do wild boars. I don’t think it was an animal attack . I think they were following the river hoping to come to a village but didn’t realize the river was following further into the jungle away from civilization . The longer they went with out proper food or water their judgment began to fail . Add on panic and I think they became hopelessly lost and one or both became injured after taking a risky chance in crossing a dangerous river .
I'm from Northern VA but my in-laws live in Harper's Ferry! We were actually just in Harper's Ferry a few months ago, so beautiful! My sons (twins who just turned 5 at the end of September!) were always on the lookout for bears. Their grandpa told them that a lot of bears live in WVA and every half hour or so the boys would say "I think I just saw a bear!" (I never did see one 🤷🏻♀️😂)
I tell anyone if they only can go to one place in the whole entire world go to Switzerland it is so beautiful and soul changing. I’ve been there three times and even when I lived in Germany for three months, I spent probably a month of it in Switzerland, go there you will love it. You will have some of the best hiking views in your life.
You should definitely go to Switzerland ...one of the most beautiful countries in the world with absolutely amazing , breathtaking views . The scenic glacial express train journey from Zermatt to St Moritz is mind blowing . Those who love to travel & enjoy nature should not miss this country . Extremely safe for all types of travellers .
Thanks for the nice narration as usual. As a portuguese living in the Netherlands and who has visited Switzerland, I fully agree that Switzerland and Austria are great for hiking. I also highly recommend trekking the camino primitivo in the Asturian mountains in Spain, if you are Christian (it is a pilgrimage route).
Woke up to this. I thank you algorithm! I live in a mountain valley in GA don’t hike nearly enough but would like to tackle the trail that thoroughly kicked my tail when I was a lot less physically fit 😅 there’s a lot of safety info here I wouldn’t have taken into consideration! And I pray for all the souls lost in all of these cases ❤
Hi Kyle. I'm watching from South Africa. I subscribed because of your Mt Everest content, but I love watching your videos. Even though I don't like hiking.
I love that elf pencil with the sharpener it also makes good lip liner as well. And if you want a dupe for make brush cleaner buy a bar of zote it will take stains out and doesn't Frey your brushes.
Hi Kyle, I greatly enjoy your "shows" so to speak as I am a chronic viewer! Your kindness and love is a beautiful thing, and very inspiring.. Back atcha!! ❤❤
We were in Switzerland at the end of May first part of June and we loved it. We hiked around the Lauterbrunnen region. There are easy to difficult hikes and all of them are well hiked. We want to go back again soon.
Thank you for all of your hardwork and determination making these stories available for us. I appreciate that you dont just regurgitate the stories the same way as everyone else. Even using critical thought and investigative skills once in a while! :p Just, thank you. Many blessings.❤
Been hiking most of my life and one time in Yellowstone came upon 3 hikers whom had ran out of water and drank out of a stream making them deadly sick. Sometimes that’s all it is. Cheers.
Giardia. Deadly! I once read of three large dogs who died that way after their owners let them drink from a stream in CO. Drank in the afternoon, and all died that night.
I love these! I live in northern CA, there are endless areas for hiking here. I hope to keep exploring them my whole life but also stay a “little” paranoid so I stay safe .
I'm a new subscriber and i absolutely love the fact this is a long compilation not to mention, your presentation of the cases. my thoughts and prayers to the missing, deceased and all those affected...
It’s a little confusing when - as you’re doing the intro to a story that occurred in Carlsbad Caverns, NM - you’re showing pics of the Grand Canyon (AZ), and Saguaro cacti, which are almost exclusively in AZ. Carlsbad looks nothing like the Grand Canyon. For all of their similarities in desert climate and temperatures, deserts in New Mexico and Arizona really look completely different. 🙂
Hi, Kyle…I used to “hate” hiking too. I grew up in Tombstone, Arizona. Near Tombstone are the Dragoon Mountains. In there, is a peak called, “Sheepshead” (for obvious reasons). Friends and I in high school used to climb to the top, then (stupidly) bounce all the way down like mule deer. With every jump, we’d have to pick a new spot for the following jump. Once we’d get going, gravity would keep speeding us up. We’d laugh all the way down. Unfortunately, decades of that on my knees and hips have left me unable to do any hiking anymore. Oh, well…it was fun while it lasted. There were a couple of close encounters: one time I kept hearing coyotes, but couldn’t see any. Then I heard my buddy screaming my name. It turned out, a pack of them had surrounded me. Fortunately, he had a gun with him, and shot it in the air. They dispersed. Another time, I did one jump down, and landed inches from a coiled rattlesnake. SMH
Hi Kyle! I'm new to your channel and I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy it! So, about the Jared case... I realize this is an old case but no where, and I mean NO WHERE have I ever seen anyone make the obvious (to me anyways) connection in the photo. Jared is taking the photo so that he can see what is behind him. I feel like the mountain lion was so close behind him that he might have felt too scared to turn around or something or perhaps was trying to capture what was about to happen, idk. I think a mountain lion was stalking him and he was incredibly scared and wanted to confirm his fears. Just scan the photo and look to the right of Jared. There is a mountain lion's face right behind him. A big eye and then nose and muzzle. He only got half of it's face in the photo. I literally can't unsee it now. Anyway, I know that animals eyes glow in the dark when say, a light shines on them, but not always. I did an experiment and took 5 selfie's with a flash, sitting in the dark with my dog sitting closely behind me just like the cougar in jared's photo. In 2 of the 5 photos, her eyes did not glow. I also lightened up Jared's photo and placed half of the face of a mountain lion image I just found on the internet for the missing half and it matches up. If this has been discussed before, I apologize, but I just have to throw my theory out there!
Young beautiful girl who went missing in Nepal is heartbreaking 😔 Her family will never fully heal, how could they 😔 Audrey and her family deserves justice 🙏🏼

Kyle always offers such great insight to the stories and shows the upmost respect to the individuals and their families. I am 65 years old and I take everything to heart that is shared on this channel.
Also- I purchased element salts for my husband. He works in a autobody shop at 67 years old. Sometimes the shop reaches 105°. He doesn’t get muscle cramps anymore. I love this product.
My two cents on the Jared Negrete disappearance: He was an unsupervised 12 year old boy that had been left behind by his scout group because he was out of shape and slow. He wanted to get a head start on heading back down the trail (speaking from the evidence of where other hikers last saw him and as an overweight/slow hiker that often thinks that way when hiking in a group). He was trying to cut through the switchbacks. Because he was doing this, he didn't realize he had reached the end of the switchbacks and either ended up on another trail or just lost. At some point he probably dropped his stuff. This case just sounds like a tragic accident to me. He should have had an adult with him, end of story. We don't trust children to make adult decisions or hold them to adult accountability specifically because they make poor choices. When the 2nd troop leader bailed, the hike should have been canceled. Hiking a trail with 15 twelve year olds is unacceptable. Leaving a child behind is unacceptable. Expecting them to do the responsible, adult thing is unacceptable. He likely got lost and died of injuries or exposure and it's a shame. His parents should have sued. [edited for spelling]
The Boy Scouts are looking for a few good men, not boys.
i agree with you up until the last sentence. suing someone over an accident is not going to solve anything. it wouldn't bring back their son, and it could seriously cripple what is already a struggling volunteer-driven non-profit organization.
Leaving a child behind to fend for themselves isn’t an accident, it’s a choice.
@@jlt131 Shutting down a nonprofit organization for being a non responsible organization is probably the best thing for them so it don't happen again. The family also might as well Sue not saying that it helps the problem but a little something for the family's troubles
Or, his parents could have gone with him. When we were doing hiking, outdoor, or scout activities as kids, a parent(s), aunt or uncle, or another parent who was watching 3 or 4 of us kids if our own parents couldn’t come, was there. It sounds like the ratio of adults (and parents) to kids was not enough.
I also agree, sue who ? No, don’t sue. Work to make improvements. It was the kid’s parents who made the decision for him to go on the hike.
A sad tragedy. And yes, poor decisions on the adults part.
Sitting in the middle of the forest in Michigan curled up alone at my own personal deer camp. Bow hunting by myself. It's about 11pm and dark as can be. Dunno if this will even get out as cell data barely works out here. Wild thing to listen to alone out here. 😂😂😂
Just looked up the Darsh Patel case: it looks like a couple who were hiking warned the group that a bear had followed them (the couple) aggressively, and suggested the students not continue on that trail; the students still chose to go on and were taking pictures of the bear.
Ty.
The thing they did wrong was split up and run.In the case of a predatory black bear you want to stay together as a group.And running only kicks it into apex predator mode faster because only prey runs away
Wolves know how to trek and travel . They have the elderly and and slow wolves at the front of the pack . This is so all the wolves move at the same pace ....I love 🐺
Actually, wolves do not do this. It's a nice idea, but it's not true.
@@TruthDragon. they do
@@ninawalker4453 Sorry to burst your bubble, but not they don't. Its a myth. I saw the same photo and also thought it was pretty cool, but its just not true. In reality, wolf packs are typically led by a breeding pair, often referred to as the alpha male and alpha female. These individuals are usually the most experienced and assertive members, guiding the pack's movements, hunting strategies, and overall behavior. The idea of the oldest or sickest wolves leading the pack likely stems from misinterpretations of wolf behavior and social structure.
A widely circulated photograph purportedly showing a wolf pack led by elderly or sick wolves has been debunked. The image, taken in 2011 at Wood Buffalo National Park by Chadden Hunter for the BBC series "Frozen Planet," actually depicts a large pack of wolves traveling single-file through deep snow to conserve energy. The wolf at the front is the alpha female, leading the pack during a hunt, not an elderly or sick wolf setting the pace.
Renowned wolf biologist L. David Mech has extensively studied wolf behavior and social dynamics. In his 1999 publication, "Alpha Status, Dominance, Leadership, and Division of Labor in Wolf Packs," Mech clarifies that the prevailing view of a wolf pack as a group of individuals vying for dominance, held in check by an alpha pair, is outdated. Instead, he describes the wolf pack as a family unit, with adult parents guiding the group's activities in a division-of-labor system.
The notion that wolf packs are led by the oldest or weakest members is a myth. Leadership in wolf packs is typically assumed by the breeding pair, who lead based on experience and social dynamics rather than age or physical condition. Hopefully, you view the notion of a wolf pack lead by an experienced and loving couple in the same high regard as you held the notion of a sick/slow wolf at the front of the pack. By the way, wolves only live in the wild about 4 years and they are typically killed by rival packs over territory disputes. Nature is vicious and does not suffer fools well.
I not trying to be mean, but you really need to do your own research about this kind of thing before spreading miss-information on social media. Live in peace, love and truth. Shalom.

They don't. I thought that was cool for them to do, but it isn't real. They do have respect for older wolves because that grandma and grandpa other then that they just move after the lead wolves. Usually the perants of the pack. @ninawalker4453
@@TruthDragon. Are you an expert, or just relating what you read or heard from someone? The problems with some humans just think animals have no sense of feeling or are just plain fools. People need to really see beyond their understanding, they need to really pay attention of what's around them. Remember, all animals have a sixth sense, while humans have only 5. From the beginning of times, animals have helped humans, while humans sees them as objects to be rid of at the slightest burden. How many people abandon their pets when floods happen? But, they never forget to take their laptops or mementos. Also, people thing they can live with wild animals, such as Bears, Lions, Snakes or any dangerous animals, some of them go as far as bring them to their homes. I just wish that those particular animals need to be free, far from humans.
Kevin Dares, who found Rachel Lakoduk, was Sam Sayers' boyfriend. Sam went missing while hiking to Vesper Peak. You are correct that they were a group of private citizens. They were out looking for both Rachel as well as Tom Simonseth who went missing on the same trail a few months before they were both found. Everyone in the search group was taking a break and Kevin just wandered off without saying a word. He later said he was drawn to go off trail and up and over a small ridge and that's when he found her. It's heartbreaking because he still hasn't found his girlfriend, Sam, but helped give closure to two other families and yet Sam's mom continues to accuse Kevin of being behind Sam's disappearance even though he was at work a hundred miles away when she went missing and was the first person to look for her, the person who reported her missing and was on every subsequent search for her. Many thoughts and prayers for Kevin and Sam. 💜
Hi Kyle! This is Laurie from Las Vegas . I want to warn Hikers in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. I grew up in Colorado and spent time in the mountains. I hiked with my dogs and sometimes my friends. I have found a burial area where women were being dumped, and I have seen all kinds of critters. It isn't safe! Tourists dissappear all the.time. The mountains have their own life.
@Metalworld9 Did you report the burial site to authorities?
@kellyandjulieelander5523 the minute I fell into the grave, we called the Rangers.
ok, so given your story about that burial area is true (i'm sure if there actually were multiple female bodies, there's some media coverage?), you're warning us about the colorado rockies based on:
1. some kind of crime that isn't exactly a very frequent occurrence, can happen anywhere, and most importantly, you're actually MUCH more likely to fall victim to in populated areas
2. there being animals in the wilderness. animals. in the wilderness. now, were i to be hiking an area of climatic and geographic conditions similar to the colorado rockies, with as much plant life, i'd probably be VERY concerned if it was NOT teeming with wildlife...
3. the entirely unsubstantiated claim of "tourists disappearing all the time". this is just blatant bs. i'll bet you any sum of money that there is a) absolutely no statistically significant number of tourists disappearing in the colorado rockies when compared with any other mountainous area that's even just remotely similar and b) the vast majority of ppl disappearing, no matter if tourist or not, fall victim to what you're supposed to be falling victim to in a mountain wilderness area (as in not meeting with foul play)...fk, i'd probably bet you that for a number of reasons, even here in switzerland there's a good bunch more foreigners disappearing in the mountains (who will then reappear a cpl decades later, once they've reached the glacier's snout or the ice has receded, which yes, does happen now and then)...
@@omaernstYou have no idea what you’re talking about.
@@Velouria2024 Yes they do. I lived in the Rockies for many years and have been ALL over them. I know much of RMNP and much of the National Forests like the back of my hand. @omaernst is absolutely correct.
You aren’t an experienced backpacker and it shows.
Hey there! First timer😁 I'm about 20 min in... So far 👍I appreciate all your hard work Kyle! Thanks and I hope you have a good one ❤
i know im late on the posting but i just wanted to say that i most definitely needed this 3 hour long video Kyle. been a shitty day being able to binge watch you helps a ton! I hope you are happy and healthy and staying safe. thanks for your postings
Kyle, Jack died stuck between rocks as his foot got hung up, he kept a journal and wrote to his family, watch the full story on Mr. Ballen , Love your channel you're a great story teller😊
He reminds me of a younger Mr.Ballen love that guy
I like your stories and how you tell them in person we can see your expressions and the way you narrate. It is great different from a lot of other channels that I watch so your stories are much appreciated.
Commenting on the 22 year-old lost in the woods credible that she lived and was found. I can imagine once you know if you don’t have enough food or water or energy or your mind starts playing tricks on you. I’m sure she was scared to death I wouldn’t have done anything different than she did if my mind played tricks on me but it’s a great story. She came out alive and that’s wonderful. What a great unique story thank you., Cariann
Excellent video. Watching in Virginia. Former archaeologist who often worked in the SW back country. All of your important safety recommendations apply to those who work/live in remote locations, too. Thanks for all the life-saving advice.
Found your page last night and been listening to all day 💪🏽
Bro it’s such a good channel lol he has found the perfect niche for people like me who spent so much time in the mountains but haven’t recently (due to university). Almost scratched my itch

Hi, Kyke! I love your videos. I find you trustworthy. I'm from South Europe, Portugal.
Lol. Makes two of us, but currently working in the US! 💪
Watching from London UK, I'm not a massive hiker myself but I'm extremely well travelled and enjoying your channel lots! It's getting harder for me to find good stuff to watch on UA-cam and I find your content refreshing and interesting. I highly recommend Switzerland, go and yodel in the mountains and eat fondue! Yummy :)
I am from the Netherlands and love your channel, although I am not a hiker.
Im physically disabled. Stuck in wheelchair or my scooter. I wanted to hike Appalachian trail when I was younger and only needed mobility aids. Never got to it before my legs quit lol. I like hearing your own stories and the fascinating stories of hiking going wrong.
I like your approach to this subject and your respect for the free will. I am born Greenlandic, grown up in Denmark, now living mostly in Portugal.
Dude, no one cares.
Wow, I bet you can appreciate the Portuguese climate. Do you ever miss the cold?
@@tirokopita If that's the case, then no one cares about honesty! So, why should I ever care about whatever you say!?
I care. Greenlanders are badass!
My husband was a navy seal and was dropped in the middle of nowhere many times and after going hiking with him, it blows my mind how people go out on their own so unprepared. Especially young women alone. I don’t even have the words to explain how dangerous it is. My heart goes out to their families.
Many women solo backpack and travel all over the world ~ they go prepared AND come home safe. 🙄 In fact, most of the solo traveling women that I’ve known over the course of my life tend to be much more prepared than many of the men. Stop stereotyping.
^ many people have also done crack and aren’t dead. Go figure. Saying to stop stereotyping about something that’s just blatantly dangerous isn’t adding anything useful to the conversation.
I think she means young people. Unless she's including places where men are an additional danger.
I think most women are pretty used to taking extra precautions when going places alone and especially when solo travelling or hiking.
Second! Absolutely love your videos Kyle. You're doing an awesome job. You're not annoying or jam packed with ads. Kudos to you for a great channel! We love you over here in Baltimore ❤
Kyle is a very compassionate youtube host. Good job, Kyle. Love your channel.

Pants turned inside out indicate a possible bear attack. The bear skins the jeans off as they are inedible and bears also can skin out animal carcasses for the same reason. Hide and jeans are too difficult to chew through.
Yes! That was my first thought! There are grizz in the sawtooths as well as black bear..
I thought it could indicate hypothermia.
Brutal. Imagine getting pantsed by a bear half way through being eaten alive. You know when you slide the wrapper off the candy bar? Yeah...
@@kellyandjulieelander5523this is what came to my mind
Yes. This is definitely a symptom of hypothermia. Seen it happen too. @@kellyandjulieelander5523

It's .always good to be prepared and technology now allows you to have a way for SAR to find you better than just looking. I don't camp alone and I keep my hikes to my limitations. But I do carry a pack with nominal overnight gear just in case i stumble or get lost. When I am able to get back to hiking, I will purchase a personal locator beacon. I'd never heard of those until I started listing to yours and others' podcasts while I'm out disabled. You can imagine I have a lot of time on my hands right now. I thank you and others' channels for advising on gear that would be better to have, etc. That is great for less experienced hikers like me. I can't wait to get back hiking, with and without K9 companions.
When I dayhike, I carry the gear & supplies I would need to get through a night outside unharmed (although nowhere near what I would need to be comfortable overnight).
I also bought a PLB now.
I really can't tell you how grateful I am that you don't exaggerate make things up for clicks. We get enough of that.Thank you so much for what you do and most of all how you do it.

Hi, from Lithuania. The country almost as flat as Netherlands:) We have nice old forests to hike, but it's impossible to get lost for good in my country. If you get lost in the forest and are not disabled and not very old, you can reach civilization in several hours, worst case scenario you will spend a night in the woods and next day reach some villige or a random road with traffic. Only in winter it's much more dangerous, because temperatures can drop drasticly at night. So it's very interesting to listen about American wildeness, looks gigantic and so diferent. Thanx for good storytelling, Kyle.
Hi Kyle! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your hard work! You are a born storyteller and I deeply appreciate your empathy and how respectful you are towards all people involved in all the heartbreaking stories you tell. And thank you for all the very important lessons that you manage to teach through your stories! Is there any chance that this youtube channel could become a podcast on spotify? That would be so amazing! I checked out your existing podcast but it doesn't seem to deal with the mistery topics of your channel...I would love to be able to switch off the phone while listening to your stories and doing something else at the same time...please please pleeease🙏🏻
Hi from London, England. Fascinating channel, so worth listening to. Thank you.
Same. Fascinating to me because we have no actual wilderness to explore :/
People die sitting in front of their tv on their couch. I truely believe we die when it is our time, no moment sooner, no moment later.

Hi Kyle hope you are doing well I watch your video's always I'm from Birmingham UK.
Every other video that I have watched on this case have also said that there were other bones mixed in with the girls' bones. I just ran across your videos tonight and you have details that I have not heard about this case, so of course I subscribed. I'm so glad you popped up, I needed someone new to watch! ❤
Love to all that are watching and may we all be well soon 💜Kyle you help so many of us , Thanks 🙏 I love to listen to you late at night.
The Kris Krmers and Lisanne Froon case has a lot of misinformation. The bag was NOT dry, and the camera had to go through a drying period. They never hiked with a dog. Kris Kremers' bones were not "bleached" phosphorus build-up yes, which is definitely a natural possibility from rain in this particular atea. The photos had me obsessed with this case for a long time. The hair photo is particularly haunting. I once believed in foul play. After years of research. I believe they died slowly from injuries and the elements. That being said, no one really knows the truth at the end of the day.
I agree with you . I think one of the girls was excited to continue on the trail beyond the vista to see waterfalls and very soon as they hiked down they got lost . Then trying to find their way back , one or both had a fall . Crazy they survived for most likely 7-11 days in the jungle .
No way...they would have left something on the camera to show that. I thought maybe a bear attack? Actually, maybe your rigbt...injured to bad to leave eviddnse.
@@missionronWhich bears live in Panama? I‘ll guess none which are capable of seriously injuring a human being.
I think they were using the camera flash as an SOS, or simply to gain vision of their surroundings. The picture of the stick with the red plastic bags attached to the branches looks like the kind of thing someone might MacGyver together as an SOS flag.
@@anenzephalie jaguars live in the jungle where they were hiking . So do wild boars. I don’t think it was an animal attack . I think they were following the river hoping to come to a village but didn’t realize the river was following further into the jungle away from civilization . The longer they went with out proper food or water their judgment began to fail . Add on panic and I think they became hopelessly lost and one or both became injured after taking a risky chance in crossing a dangerous river .

I'm from Northern VA but my in-laws live in Harper's Ferry! We were actually just in Harper's Ferry a few months ago, so beautiful! My sons (twins who just turned 5 at the end of September!) were always on the lookout for bears.

I've looped your playlist a couple of times, and now I'm going to watch them all here, lol Good stuff! 😊
I tell anyone if they only can go to one place in the whole entire world go to Switzerland it is so beautiful and soul changing. I’ve been there three times and even when I lived in Germany for three months, I spent probably a month of it in Switzerland, go there you will love it. You will have some of the best hiking views in your life.

Thanks for the nice narration as usual. As a portuguese living in the Netherlands and who has visited Switzerland, I fully agree that Switzerland and Austria are great for hiking. I also highly recommend trekking the camino primitivo in the Asturian mountains in Spain, if you are Christian (it is a pilgrimage route).

Been hiking most of my life and one time in Yellowstone came upon 3 hikers whom had ran out of water and drank out of a stream making them deadly sick. Sometimes that’s all it is. Cheers.
Giardia. Deadly! I once read of three large dogs who died that way after their owners let them drink from a stream in CO. Drank in the afternoon, and all died that night.
I carry filter straws with me when I hike for this exact reason, among others.
Takes a week for Giardia symptoms to present. So they had drank bad water in a previous hike.
Hi Kyle! Love your videos. Earmarking these kind of videos to separate each story would be awesome!
Hi from South Africa
Hi from Austria, some cool mountains to hike up here too
I love these! I live in northern CA, there are endless areas for hiking here. I hope to keep exploring them my whole life but also stay a “little” paranoid so I stay safe .
I'm a new subscriber and i absolutely love the fact this is a long compilation not to mention, your presentation of the cases. my thoughts and prayers to the missing, deceased and all those affected...
@1:22:56 No silly, it's because the bear wasn't aware that taking pictures in public is lawful and he wanted those photos removed.
It’s a little confusing when - as you’re doing the intro to a story that occurred in Carlsbad Caverns, NM - you’re showing pics of the Grand Canyon (AZ), and Saguaro cacti, which are almost exclusively in AZ.
Carlsbad looks nothing like the Grand Canyon. For all of their similarities in desert climate and temperatures, deserts in New Mexico and Arizona really look completely different. 🙂
Hi, Kyle…I used to “hate” hiking too. I grew up in Tombstone, Arizona. Near Tombstone are the Dragoon Mountains. In there, is a peak called, “Sheepshead” (for obvious reasons). Friends and I in high school used to climb to the top, then (stupidly) bounce all the way down like mule deer. With every jump, we’d have to pick a new spot for the following jump. Once we’d get going, gravity would keep speeding us up. We’d laugh all the way down.
Unfortunately, decades of that on my knees and hips have left me unable to do any hiking anymore. Oh, well…it was fun while it lasted.
There were a couple of close encounters: one time I kept hearing coyotes, but couldn’t see any. Then I heard my buddy screaming my name. It turned out, a pack of them had surrounded me. Fortunately, he had a gun with him, and shot it in the air. They dispersed.
Another time, I did one jump down, and landed inches from a coiled rattlesnake. SMH
Oh VALAIS has a lot of hiking spots to offer! It’s surely a safe place but again, depends on the decision-making of the hiker. ❤
Western New York, Buffalo area. I live close to Niagara Falls,, Kyle have you ever seen the Falls? It’s a truly beautiful place.. powerful place ❤

Hi Kyle! I'm new to your channel and I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy it! So, about the Jared case... I realize this is an old case but no where, and I mean NO WHERE have I ever seen anyone make the obvious (to me anyways) connection in the photo. Jared is taking the photo so that he can see what is behind him. I feel like the mountain lion was so close behind him that he might have felt too scared to turn around or something or perhaps was trying to capture what was about to happen, idk. I think a mountain lion was stalking him and he was incredibly scared and wanted to confirm his fears. Just scan the photo and look to the right of Jared. There is a mountain lion's face right behind him. A big eye and then nose and muzzle. He only got half of it's face in the photo. I literally can't unsee it now. Anyway, I know that animals eyes glow in the dark when say, a light shines on them, but not always. I did an experiment and took 5 selfie's with a flash, sitting in the dark with my dog sitting closely behind me just like the cougar in jared's photo. In 2 of the 5 photos, her eyes did not glow. I also lightened up Jared's photo and placed half of the face of a mountain lion image I just found on the internet for the missing half and it matches up. If this has been discussed before, I apologize, but I just have to throw my theory out there!
I love hiking and stories about people going missing lol this is perfect.
Young beautiful girl who went missing in Nepal is heartbreaking 😔 Her family will never fully heal, how could they 😔 Audrey and her family deserves justice 🙏🏼
