Fr
Thanks for enjoying 😎 🎣
@@NWFishingSecrets thank you for providing 😁😁
bro i said the same thing chilling in my garage/man cave after a long day. stoked to watch!!
That’s what I’m sayin!!!
One of the scariest moments I've had while camping occurred deep in a Western Australian forest, hundreds of kilometers from civilization. It was a desolate area with no signs of human activity for hours. An eerie feeling crept over me as I started unpacking my gear. Something just didn't feel right. I began walking down the trail, and after a few minutes, I realized why everything felt off: there were no sounds of birds or insects. Even the trees seemed unnaturally quiet; as if they were afraid to make a disturbance. Every time I took a step, it sounded like a step was taken behind me, only for me to turn around and see nothing.
I'm a 35-year-old, 6'2" guy who can handle himself pretty well. But anyone who camps alone knows that sometimes your nerves get the better of you. There's something primal in your brain that reminds you of your vulnerability in the wild, the need for shelter and sustenance. So I brushed off the uneasy feeling and pressed on. I tried foraging but found nothing. Fishing proved fruitless as well. I settled for a bit of hiking before calling it a night and setting up camp.
Around 2 a.m. I was abruptly woken by shuffling noises outside my tent. I lay frozen, listening intently, my heart pounding in my chest. The sounds were human-like, but there was something strange about them, as if the person was purposefully avoiding lifting their feet off the ground. After a tense moment, I mustered the courage to switch on my flashlight and called out, "Is someone there?" The shuffling ceased, and a heavy silence fell upon me. Then an unexpected aroma - of freshly baked pastries. Like a morning bakery. The scent was so strong it made me salivate.
Suddenly, I heard a noise, like a heavy object being dragged away at speed. As the sound faded into the distance, so did the enticing aroma, replaced by a chilling drop in temperature.
For the next three hours, I remained wide awake, clutching my leatherman tight until the sun began to rise. I unzipped my tent, hastily exited, and scanned the area. I noticed some tracks near my tent, partially concealed by the foliage. I quickly packed up my belongings and made a beeline back to my car, my heart still racing. Threw my stuff in my car, and drove away.
I kept eyeing my rear-view mirror, checking the entrance to the carpark I'd just left, and I swear I saw something moving. Still have no idea if I just had a stroke or something, but it still gives me chills thinking about that feeling.
Also, just wanted to say I always love it when you hit us with some German!
What a story, man. So did you know what exactly is that creepy thing around you in the forest?
Sounds like a skinwalker
The samsquanch was there
Maybe next time put on night vision or infrared camera so you know what is visiting..
god i love this channel, the enthusiasm and love for nature is an absolute vibe producer
What an absolute honor, this hour long video was so awesome and an perfect way to end a week!! Those fish were crazy and you should definitely go back there and see what else is out there!!😆🎣🎣🎣
I really love your videos. The enthusiasm, the excitement on how you love nature really makes the video entertaining and relaxing. I have no words for the beauty of the scenery. Keep em coming
Thank you, that really means a lot to hear :) Glad to share these places with you guys ⛰ 🎣
Leif you have truly shown you are the greatest fisherman ever! I’ve never seen anyone catch a brooky out of a tree!! 🤣 great video and so fun to watch as always ❤ fish on baby
😆 Thanks for enjoying!! Fish on baby!!
Yep. Who says fish don't grow on trees?
@@burleybater 🤣 let’s face it we’ve all been there! Lost many a rig in a tree but never caught, Leif is a genius 👍
Hey Leif! I’m currently at the VA hospital getting help and your videos are helping me through this tough time. It was really cool yesterday the VA took us to a little stocked pond to fish. I caught 11 trout including my first ever brook trout! I actually caught 2 brookies. Both really really good size. They were all catch and release, but fishing like that and watching your videos made me feel at home. I get to leave in 3 weeks and man I can wait to get back out there and do some catch and cooks again. Thank you for your relaxing video content!! Fish on baby!!
Thanks for your service 👍👍
I would like to thank you for your service. Today is Memorial Day, and it is the dangerous work that you have done that allows us to be free and watch videos like this. God bless you and may your life be filled with joy.
Really means a lot to hear!! :) That's the coolest thing I've heard that they took you guys fishing! Wishing you a good recovery and thank you for your service my friend 🙏 fish on babyy!!!
Speedy recovery and THANK YOU FOR YOU SERVICE!!!
We are dealing with extreme circumstances as well and his videos give us great comfort. Thank you for your service my friend and prayers to you for a complete and painless recovery!
We enjoy most your survival hiking trips, along with your stories and tips. Love 'em.
During a brief health issue, your videos have keep us motivated for our future adventures. Keep it up, we'll be watching and thanks😊
I feel like I’m watching Blues Clues for adults. You keep me excited the entire time. You’re enthusiasm is amazing. Thank you sir.
lmao
I literally just told my wife about this channel and explained it's kinda like Blues Clues lol
''AWSOME that's two liters of ughhh..... MILDLY clean water... '' that's my favorite line in this video.......
An hour of you and your positivity is an awesome experience by itself man, you are an enigma dont stop being you!❤
These mountain adventures are so awesome! Great job
Thanks! :)
I’ve never seen anyone with as much enthusiasm for a fish on as Leif 💪💪💪 Seems like just yesterday you weren’t even at 100k subs WOW ❤
Man trout fishing just never gets old 😆 You've been subscribed so long... Means a lot 🙏 🎣
Awesome Awesome video man! I really enjoy watching your content!!!
I was relieved to see that you carry a sidearm. I don’t catch every episode so this was the first time I’d seen it. What caliber is the Glock?
We live in a wild place and gotta take care of ourselves out there. Just a 43x in 9 which will do for it's intended purpose 👌
9:13am here in Oregon! Thank you so much for sharing these videos. I’ve been watching all of them since I discovered you.
I’ve been a forager/wildcrafter camper/hiker here in the PNW for decades but just started fishing. It’s so intimidating and I have no one to teach me but I feel like your my teacher now!
I really appreciate when you remind us about the details like being quiet approaching the lake or what kind of bait to use. I don’t feel so alone anymore and feel totally inspired. I’ve been out several times since I started watching but still haven’t caught anything. But moving next week close to the Rogue and Illinois river.
Personally I’d like to see you go crabbing because that’s something I want to do and have never seen.
Love it when you get out there and do your thing. Can’t wait to watch this one! Cheers man
Cheers! Thanks for joining on the adventure!!
First one was a damsel fly larva, similar to a dragon fly but they are the small blue and red ones. One of my scariest moments was walking out of one of the big Puget Sound "S" rivers during the spring steelhead C&R season in the late 90's. I fished a little too long, it got dark, I had no light, and the trail was overgrown with brush so you couldn't see anything. All I could think about were the cougar tracks I had seen down river the year before. I stepped over a bush and a grouse flushed from under my feet. Scared the $#!+ out of me! Those little birds have scared me way too many times.
Love your videos been watching you since the beginning it’s crazy how far you’ve come keep up the amazing work
Thank you Hunter!! 🙏 means a lot to have you subscribed that long :)
While searching for a mysterious lake in the Mt. Baker wilderness I came across a tree 6" wide snapped and twisted in the opposite direction of an avalanche would go.
Definitely a believer when it comes to Sasquash.
Man that would give chills to find that....
Your videos are my meditation videos. My whole childhood was fishing lakes, rivers and the ocean here in BC. My dad ran a fishing lodge in the 70s and was often on fishing radio shows. You're doing great work. When you clean up others' garbage you remind me of our family.
Thank you for the kind comment :) How awesome to run a fishing lodge. That would be a bucket list thing to do on day!
These videos always make my day better, I'd love to see more of the western camp!
Western Camp update coming again soon :)
Caught my personal best brown trout today (18”) ! This was icing on the cake when I got home and saw a new upload from you, best Memorial Day I’ve had so far! Keep up the amazing work! 🤘🏼
Your videos always make my weekends even better man. I just moved somewhere there are lots of great ocean and freshwater fishing places, so I just started my fishing journey. My first fish caught was a sting ray lol
Thanks that means a lot to hear! And congrats, I've never caught a stingray before!!
Man that must've been a heck of a first fish battle, rays are chock full of explosive energy and have lots of endurance too boot. First one my dad ever caught was like a three hour fight.
But I bet you're hooked on fishing after that experience haha
@@100GTAGUY Yeah it was pretty fun, it was relatively small and still took me about 10-15 mins to get it in, luckily though I had the shop I went to set up the rod, line and everything so it was set for catching snakehead but there are a ton of rays around. Kinda seen as a nuisance fish here but it was still very fun. My next trip out I want to go for some perch fishing which is common here in MD.
i love how you put in so much effort into your videos you have amazing shots its so pretty
Thank you Treva!
Das ist gute, Leif!
It was 2008 we were out hunting for Thunder eggs stones. My mom, dad, brother and nephew were with me. We all got to our location in the Ococho forest in Oregon. We started digging in pits that other dug at before. After about an hour of us Digging we heard a bellowing yell, you could feel it in your chest, sounded very monkey like but almost Female. Was not a Cougar or a bobcat something way different. All of our heads popped out of our holes like gophers. Me my dad and brother all looked at each other and said yep its time to go. Hair on our arms standing straight up we promptly left the area and headed back to town. I have no ideas what could scream as loud as it did. Have never gone back there it scares me so much.
I'm old now but many years ago I was fishing at a very remote section of Upper Big Tujunga Creek. Fishing was good for wild rainbow trout. There was a huge boulder I had to circumnavigate in order to get to the next pool. As I rounded the corner I was suddenly knocked to the ground. I had collided with a mountain lion. We were both down. Before I could react the big cat took off. I vividly recall its incredible tail brushing across my face as it disappeared.
You are getting so good at making us feel like we are on the adventure with you. Thank you. I only get to spend about 10 days a year in the mountains but you make me feel like its more.
Means so much to hear :) Always glad to have you up there with me on the adventures!
Get a cheap 5$ mosquitoe net.
Hi Leif! The reason your old sleeping mat might have popped could be because you've been filling the mat with your breath (as a lot of people do). The moisture in one's breath is really bad for the materials in a lot of these mats (the TPU breaks down from hydrolysis, etc.), so I'd recommend getting a pump-bag for your mat which could also double as a dry bag when not in use.
Plus it's a very cheap low quality version.
Interesting! I'd never considered that aspect. Will look into that further, thanks!
17:57
"Oh NYO..." 😅
I am watching all my favorite videos again...still find new things that amused me. ❤😂
I think the little bug guy was a mayfly larvae. This episode was incredible, thank you for showing the beauty of Washington. It looks so cool up there like it might be under 75, helps me through my boiling hot Summer.
I didn't know fish grew on trees...😂 Fishtree lake..lol. Awesome content man, love your videos!! Fly fishing trip coming up in a couple weeks, 2 drones, 2 go pro's, dslr, 3 fly rods..fish on!!
Always love the videos, your love and enthusiasm for fishing, wildlife and the outdoors is so contagious! Can't wait to get back to WA and try some mountain lakes... And my new crawfish trap🙂
Sasquatch? Yellow Belly Lake (Idaho).....mid May (2021)....my friend and I were trying to drive up (in a 4x4) the unimproved road.......got about 1/2 way up....had to park and walk. No sooner did we start walking up the road we heard what sounded like someone hitting a stick on a tree.......but really, really loudly. My friend asks "who's building up here"? I told her "no one".....there was no one up there that early in the year. We heard it a few more times as we walked up further.......then some small rocks came flying over our heads.....NOT like a person threw them.....they were "zinging" over us like they were going 100mph.......that's when we turned around and left........the rocks kept coming and they were a good 20 feet above our heads......Won't go back up there with anything smaller than a 44mag.
Hey mate, I’m a new subscriber . I always loved adventure but never been actually able to experience one. But ur videos are actually giving me that vibe. I really appreciate ur effort on sharing this with us. Hope you keep posting and wish u a very best on ur future journeys. 😊
Thanks for the kind comment man! :) Glad to have you subscribed and I can't wait to share the next one with you! 🎣
Mega cooles Video, die Unterwasseraufnahmen waren Bombe 💣. VG aus Deutschland
Nothing like a 1hr catch, cook, and camping video 😎
It’s super interesting to see another fellow German immigrant enjoying the perks of a different country.
What’s your exact story? So intrigued to find out.
Grüße aus dem Süd Westlichen Western Australia.
Ps: come by and I’ll provide you with some rods and a home. 😎 heaps of fishing around.
I love those underwater shots man,I never get tired of them !👍
It's nuts to think... Mosquito's... Probably once had an abundance of predators that kept their numbers in check, and humans screwed that up by killing them off removing their habitat.
Then again, they could have just always been a nuisance that, breed like crazy.
I finally had a minute to sit down and watch the new episode. bro! If that brookie is there monsters lurk in the depths use some split shot weights and a small hook and a whole earth worm like the juiciest worm you can find hell put two of them on one hook slide one up the line then add another to the hook and slide the first worm back down you have a chance to catch 8lbs trout I'm so stoked dude those alpine lakes are a treat.
You could try an old unsnagging technique: grab the loose line with one hand, put some tension on it and pull and release it with the other hand multiple times, kinda like playing a guitar. It makes the lure pop off of the obstacle. Works 95% of the time for me.
Dude, I love your work
Wish you could come to nelson British Columbia,, fishing is Awsome.
I'm motivated by you to do a catch and cook this weekend
Derek Magnuson
Long time lurker chiming in just to say the macro-invertebrate you caught was a May Fly. Also, dragonfly larvea are called Gomphidae which is more fun to say :)
Bruh carry a gun. I never thought I would need a gun, then one late night my friend and I came across an angry bear that was luckily just trying to make sure we stayed distance, about a week later I came across a sleeping mountain lion, thankfully it didn't want anything to do with me and ran off just in time for my uncle to see it go out of view into the bush.
I'll never hike without a gun ever again
Nevermind I saw it xD
I would HIGHLY suggest an AeroPress to make your coffee in the field. You will leave the French press at home.
mountain lions are ambush predators and like to attack their pray from behind. I live in the PNW and elk hunt alot. alot of times I hike into places in the dark and hike out in the dark. I took a tool that we used in the military and apply it to the woods. in the military we had headbands on our helmets that had two pieces of reflective tape on the back so we could see the person in front of us when walking in the dark. we called them "cat eyes". now I like to sew two pieces of reflective tape to the back of my hats. this looks like eyes reflecting in the dark. so even when walking away, the mountain lions, if there, will think that something is look at them instead of facing away.
Its funny how u say bratwurst in that very american way, even though you are from germany (especially the black forest) :D
Imagine mountain Bass lol you should bring a small top water frog just to see also because I've seen some big trout eat small frogs so would be a cool video keep it up
Mountain Bass 🔥 that would be epic. Will throw some topwaters when I bring up the Kayak!
Nice that will be an epic video
You are the best at what you do 🏆💯😎🌞🎣⛺
If i was a beaver and saw some dude waving a stick around and talking to himself I'd take off too. 🤷♂️
My dad once seen a Sasquatch
Leif, you said you are all natural so I have a question - I personally have an intense fear of ticks and the many life-altering diseases they carry here in PA. What do you do, if anything, to keep those off/at bay? I treat all my clothing in permethrin which kills them on contact for 6 weeks, but I'm curious what you do to avoid them.
- 1:45 either someone planted those trees to rebuild the landscape or it was magic 🌳
So happy to see a brook trout catch and cook I never see these!
My ex-wife was a Sasquatch .
That girl was not only ugly, she was mean.
You need to watch out for wild animals that you don’t know are real skin walkers and other things
When I was about 12 I was riding our old shitty Suzuki 125 quad on some abandoned roads behind my parents property in the Cascades and had a too close encounter with a Cougar. My little brother was with me on the back of the quad. We stalled on an old overgrown road and as I was reaching for the pull handle to start the quad I heard gravel scraping and turned to my left to see a huge male Cougar sliding right up to our quad on the road. I think he was going to jump on my back until I turned around to face him and made him slam on the brakes. We had a stare down for probably 20 seconds, face to face, less than 2 feet apart. Like you said- The most intense goose bumps, my hair stood up on end, my sense of hearing and smell were heightened and I could smell him and his breath. He moved his eyes, not his head, to his left and then took two slow steps in front of the quad. I didn't move my body an inch, just followed him with my eyes. My little brother had a death grip around my waist but wasn't moving or making a sound either. The cat stopped for about 10 seconds, looked up the hill, back at me and then took off into the trees. As soon as the cat was gone my little brother started screaming as I fired up the quad and hauled ass back to our cabin. He cried the entire way and for a good half hour when we got home.
I had 2 more run ins with that same Cougar over the next 6-7 years. Never saw him again, but heard him and saw his tracks over the top of mine.....
You respected him, and he respected you....
Everytime you say "epizode" I die a little on the inside 😂 I love your content
It's time to catch the real fish, bro. I hope you get what I'm trying to say.
awesome vid, i bet a black wooly bugger would slay on the fly rod there
Servus! Your videos are so amazing! Living so close to nature and having such a large property would also be my dream. Best greetings from Bavaria - Germany
Your videos makes me forget about my problems. Love it
its called a screech owl and legend says that if you hear two calls in a row you get bad luck
What is this place bro ? Its very beautiful
I dont Trust ppl that dosent wear nothing under the hoodie. :))
Another Great Vid, Nice job
Can you try and go fish for Northern Pike pls!
Had one experience could have been bear but no tracks so idk
Once saw a samsquanch, and the smell was horrible.
try to cook a stew or a soup in the mountains that will be fun :)
Your videos are incredible seriously pal..
es wäre cool wenn du mal mehr deutsch für deine deutchen zuschauer sprichst but only as a joke
Green eye shine vegetation eater red shine meat eater
good video
Leif kinda looks like Chris Pratt! Star lord lol
Idk why but I thought that beaver was a gator
Alles hat ein Ende nur die Wurst hat zwei…. Jawoll mein Schatz es ist vorbei….! 😂😂 that kills me 😂😂
Awesome Video again and again !! Greetings from Germany my friend !
Klassiker! 😂 Danke fürs Zuschaun!! 🎣
Sup, been binge watching the videos. got the poles and tackle and gear set and gonna hit the Sandy River for trout soon after 20 years away.. dude, you gotta try Taco Time style crispy trout burritos with black beans and avocado and salsa verde. it's ridiculous. that's a killer video boss ;-)
Good luck on the Sandy! She treated me well last time I was there… gonna try that taco time crispy trout 🤤
@@NWFishingSecrets Thanks. eventually I want to get back to the Deschutes river. last fish I caught were on the Deschutes 20 years ago. I caught 2 fat red band hybrids back to back at Beavertail Canyon north of Maupin. they were like 14 inches long and fat like footballs. i released them as we had plenty of food and i just felt like letting them go. next time i'll catch n cook. i used black/brown light rooster tails and tried to mimic fly fishing I heard the Deschutes has 4-5 thousand fish per mile and isnt stocked. it's my favorite river by a long shot ;-)
Love love love campfire stories
Hey bro I think you forgot your camera @39:22
Hi Leif.... Alles hat ein ende nur die wurst hat zwei, jawohl mein schats, es ist vorbei.. (ua-cam.com/video/mY6fHZ92_es/v-deo.html) reminds me of my days in Germany in the 80s. Keep up the great videos and nostalgia 👍🏽
Solange das Ende ein gutes Ende hat... :)
AAAhhhh that's full of magical flowers
Warm greetings from Bali
Your video is always relaxing for me
I am so happy that you mentioned Bali ❤
Love your vids yay I am the 700 comment
What do you do your nightlaps with ???
That's a taco dog in our mexican fam😂
Hooray, a mountain lake episode! Woohoo! As a matter of fact, as you can tell from my name, yes I've seen three sasquatch and we have well over a dozen sites that we have had some sort of activity at (prints, structures, vocals). We heard two whoops - for the first time ever - on Saturday. You are as safe as you can be with your weapon and Garmin and ADHD situational awareness. I absolutely love your adventures - and your drone photography and your mad editing skills! I usually am armed out there in the woods - not for the sasquatch people or the bears - but for the mountain lions! Be safe & have fun. I have one of those packable Klimit backpacking kayaks/boats - it's really cool, and only about 3 lbs. Thanks for the awesome video!
do you ever encounter other hikers when out there?
Yes sir good show bra!..👊🏿🇯🇲
Check out the foldable kyack
That's a damsel fly larvae. The swim!
His excitement and enthusiasm for every moment, whether it is for fail or victory, makes it fun to watch. Keep it up brother!
Love your videos mate. Don't do alot of fishing myself but Mountain Bike in sunny Scotland. Inspiring me to go and give it a go
Do you keep a gun on you When you camp?
