My grandma grew up south of Victoria and my mom was born in the Red Brush community. Grandad worked at the Peabody coal mine there. He would have been working there in the 70s. I wish the old people were still alive so I could ask them about it. It is beautiful country out there. I'm guessing this was in the Snake Den and/or Little John area.
Most of these people are experienced woodsmen and its a little bit of a stretch to think they would make up stories like that. There are some things that just can't be explained away. Things that man just will never fully comprehend. Too many people have seen these things or heard them or had experiences in the deep woods that can not be explained. I think there is something in those woods, I've seen and heard things myself that I know nobody would believe me if I told it.
It's easy enough when you get used to it. It's just a simple mind over matter thing. Used to be just me and the dog on my night time trail walks around the edges of my town, but the ex took the dogs so now I have to settle for walking with my brother lol. Not that I dislike my brother, just that here in Australia you're more likely to see a Yowie by yourself than when you're with others. My dog did behave strangely once or twice but aside from that, not much to report....
I'm 62 years young can't imagine what I would have thought being a kid having a encounter of that magnitude really interesting hearing from a man who is of my age talk about it great episode!
I was having a bit of a bad day at work. I saw your video was out and I immediately snuck off to the bathroom to watch it. I will be in a much better mood when i get out. Thank you for being a ray of sunshine in the garbage pile that YT has become. Keep em coming!😂🤣😂🤣
Good combination - you telling the story by the river, walking back then listening to the interview while cooking a Reuben sandwich. Your style of interviewing is very rare and great for the listener - you are letting the subject speak and tell his story in his own words, then only asking questions towards the end. It's kind of amazing that you have never encountered a sasquach yourself in all these lone camping expeditions during nearly all seasons.
@@chrisward1691 lol! Would you stick your head out to see what it was or take a 📷 at night? "Say cheese!!" 🤣 Not me!! I believe they are real, there is too many human/Bigfoot encounters, there is footage that can not be disputed and too many hikers disappear without a trace.
It was such a great idea when you started including your interviews in your videos. Hearing the emotions is the voices adds even more credibility to their stories. Well done, Chris!
@@basecampchris Discovered your channel not long ago and concur, that doing an interview is a great addition. I listen to a few BF channels and just subbed to your channel. Of the few videos I have seen of yours it seems you don't get political. This is the very reason I un-subbed to a certain Canadian's popular BF channel. I listen to various channels for political information, I don't want to listen to his political opinions while I am trying to relax. Many people listen to the BF topic for entertainment, not to be dictated to about politics. In fact, I started listening to BF stories a few years ago mostly for entertainment, and curiosity, before bedtime and it does help me sleep. At this point, after listening to hundreds of BF stories, I have zero doubt a hominid exists in North American that is popularly referred to as Bigfoot, Sasquatch and many other Native American names. Also, I really appreciate the campsite story framing for your stories, the craft beer and cooking is cool too.
I must confess to you about my ritual: Whenever you post a new video, I get my favorite beer, sit down and yes, lift my glass in order to go 'cheers' with you LOL But this ritual is of course related to the fact that I do enjoy your stories and that I am a faithful follower. Keep up the great work Sir!:)
Great story tonight. No heroics, just something that could happen to any of us, making it all the more worrying. Nice one, Chris. Stay safe, Bro. Love for you and yours, from England UK.
That may be exactly that. A primordial memory inherited from our ancestors when faced with another group of hominins, something that was common until a few thousand years ago
Yeah that is a constant theme in these reports. Ive heard a theory that Bigfoot is physical and a spiritual being. Like the manifestation of a demon ot whatever
I enjoyed hearing of a cream colored Bigfoot! I’m down here in Texas, and there have been numerous sightings of tan, cream, and several the color of “dried hay” in the past few decades. Thanks for another great video!!
@@lindaertel7558 There are many accounts mapped in Texas at The North American Wood Ape Conservatory. You can google it, it’s fascinating. (my original comment to you didn’t go through, sorry if this duplicates.)
I live in Texas and about 11 years ago i worked at a GM dealer in Decatur. A young man that i had done some hunting on the Grasslands with came in that morning and was very shaken up. Said his mom had woke him just after six that morning screaming for him to come outside because something was moving around behind her in there yard, she was getting something from her vehicle. Him and his younger brother came running out on the porch to see a tall brown hairy creature standing next to a barbed wire fence. He said all i knew to do was just start yelling at it and it jumped the fence and took off running on all fours like a gorilla. His little brother says oh my gosh i think we just saw bigfoot!
I’m actually from the Quad cities Illinois and I used to go fishing at the Victoria strip mines back in the early 90s. Very interesting story and I have no doubt that these creatures exist and they have been for a very, very long time.

Hi Chris, it's Wes Sept here again. I sure am enjoying your videos. I hike 5 days of the week, in an area that's pure badlands! It's definitely rattlesnake heaven, so I have to be extremely careful. What I do is make a little noise, so I don't startle any wildlife that is near me. Even though I'm experienced, dosen't mean that I know it all. I try to be open to learning anything new about what I am doing. With love, and respect. Wes Sept
The color sounds unusual, since most are dark colored. You being out in these places ALONE CREEPS me out!! Have you ever encountered bears? I have a pie maker like that, have not used it yet. It sounds like a great treat maker!really enjoyed the interview. I was let run wild as a child too. So different now. My Dad (born 1904) ran a trap line alone in the woods at age 12. He’d go out by himself for two weeks in the Northern Minnesota winter. Communed with timber wolves. He talked about large black cats in the woods, “sprites” in the bogs, rattlers as big as a man’s arm. I wish I had recorded his stories!!
It’s been over ten years since I saw what was likely a Bigfoot and I still vividly recall the feeling of the hair on the back of my neck standing up. Such a primal response.
Less than 45 mins from me...YIKES!!!! I just heard a story lastnight from Mapleton IL. A kid was riding his mini bike around woods and had to cross cornfield to get home. As he passed 1 corner of field something huge and brown gradually stood up. It was hunkered down in this corner where some stalks were left over and not cut. Kid glanced back and just noticed size and flew home. He told his mom who grew up on that land. She just nonchalantly said to start riding across the street in those woods 😮...that was it and nothing was ever seen again. This was mid to late 70's *Peoria Journal Star/newspaper for article
I love camping at Fort Churchill. Glad to see so much water in the Carson River. My son encountered a Bobcat down there along the river campground last fall.
I'll tell you a story about Bigfoot. It happened in 2014. I went to the Crimea to celebrate the New Year and visit the mountains, because I like to travel. Nothing foreshadowed the events that took place a little later. A month later, Russia annexed Crimea and a series of sad events began, leading to a full-scale war in 2022. But then everything was peaceful and calm, I arrived by train from Moscow to Simferopol. Then, on a trolleybus going through the passes, I drove to Yalta, a city located on the Black Sea coast. From there, I moved to the city of Alushta, next to which are the Demerdzhi mountains. I went hiking in the mountains, hoping to find a place to spend the night there and stay for a few days. On the way I stopped in an oak grove. There I made a fire and dined, ate food purchased at the market in Alushta. Suddenly I noticed a tuft of wool on a tree. It was located at a height of about 2 meters. The wool was white, long, reminiscent of the hair of an old woman. An inexplicable fear gripped me as I approached this object. I tried to leave this place as soon as possible. I am very sorry that I did not think of taking a sample of this wool, but there was something infernal in it and I was afraid. After some time, I found a place to camp. I set up my tent and got ready to sleep in a sleeping bag. Metal utensils, a pot and a mug were outside. Suddenly, I heard a strange and terrible sound that is hard to describe. It was a roar, loud and unusual in tone. As if the throat making that sound was made of wood. I was stunned with horror. It felt like my hair was moving on my head. Then there was silence. I tried to sleep and not think about it. However, in the middle of the night I woke up from the sounds of metal dishes. Someone walked around the tent and touched my items. It was snowing and I heard the crunch of the snow. At the same time, I experienced incredible fear, which completely paralyzed me. I couldn't move, it was hard to even breathe. I don’t know how long this went on, but suddenly I really wanted to go to the toilet. It was awful. But still I was able to find the strength in myself and get out of the tent. It was dark. I did not see anyone, did my business and returned back. The fear disappeared as suddenly as it appeared. Then I slept peacefully until morning. Studying the area in the morning, I did not find any unusual footprints. Then the locals told me that in these places it happens and people sometimes see Bigfoot.
This location is about 10 miles from my sister’s home in Illinois 😲 2 weeks ago the sighting in Monte Cristo Campground is 45 minutes from my apartment and I saw a Rocky Mountain Sasquatch video of a sighting down the block from another sister’s house in Morgan County. It’s crazy! I’m on the lookout with my front row view of the Wasatch Mtns with lots of sightings here in Utah!!
I think that must be the shortest one you have done yet. Hey I loved the campfire...NICE The interview was great too...poor Brian...that's a lot of years to have to carry that with you... Thanks Chris for all the great reading of people's stories & encounters & any story you do is always a great one!! Until next time Chris...Stay safe & warm & Keep hiking!!
And they should be afraid. How many humans want to kill things immediately that they’ve never seen before. After we saw one not too far from our home one night, I was afraid to even drive through that area alone. For the longest every time I drove that stretch of road, I kept my camera on video. But lately I’ve been thinking if I ever see it again, I want to try to speak to it. From the inside of my car of course, just in case it isn’t friendly. 😊
Hola Chris I enjoyed your video. Thank you for taking us along. keep the videos coming I Enjoy them. you’re awesome have a wonderful evening love and God bless.♥️💕❤️🙏🙏🙏👍✌️😇
I will never walk in the woods again. Thanks Chris for a very spooky story again. Here in Michigan Bigfoot was spotted as well. In the west Upper Peninsula there are thick forests which I never been to and not planning to visit anytime soon!!! 😅 As I've said before I would like to see Bigfoot and tend to believe there is such mysteries in the wilderness. Alot of things are possible. I had to laugh when Brian was saying that one has to be careful who they tell these stories to for fear of people calling them wacko. I can relate to what he said because I've had paranormal experiences that I only share with people who really know me. Lol. I look forward to each and everyone of your stories. Stay safe Chris!!!!
Hi Trudy, I am leaning towards yea, Sasquatch is real. Thanks to Chris, I have learned that these millions of acres of wilderness that connect 4 states in my back yard are only a VERY small part of wilderness acres in the US...not counting Canada! Lol! My grandmother told me when I was small, don't tell anyone about your "gift" because people may think you're not "right"...when I grew older, I took this as coo-coo!🤦🤣 Just because their are non-believers doesn't mean it's not real. Have a blessed week!
Reubens are my favorite...thx again for a great story...totally believable ..cant imagine how terrifying that would be for a young boy..it would change your view of reality...
Another great story Chris. The witness sounds very credible, he’s a lot like me you can remember something that happened 50 yrs ago, but you can’t remember what you had for lunch yesterday. Lol Thanks again, and keep hiking!
Great new format. Love it! You are the Charles Kuralt of Cryptid You Tube presenters. 😊 This latest cryptid incident seems really credible. I’ve had my share of odd occurrences, so I tend to be open minded. Thanks for all the work you put into your content. That Reuben was delicious looking!
I just found you two days ago and have been binge-watching you every moment I get. You are such a good storyteller. The way you described things, I can just picture it! I'm like frozen watching my phone screen to hear you tell these stories! My favorite so far is ..the little girl with the potato chips❤
I still don't understand how you can camp waaayyyy out in that deep forest....it gives me the creeps just watching you...I'm quite impressed on your photography...and your slot graphics..my second favorite passtime....your stories are captivating..?.
Great story and so fascinating when you are able to include the actual person you interviewed! Thanks so much for sharing the stories and taking us to fascinating locations. 😊
This guy is my age - love Squatch stories but also love remembering the innocence of that time - bikes woods no cells no internet and reading articles / this was fun - thx!
My Grandfather and his parents arrived in Canton Illinois from New York in 1874. Canton is about 25-30 miles south of Victoria, Illinois. The family then consisted of two boys, one my grandfather his sister Mary, and brother John. Local fishing trips were to the Illinois river and various creeks. John was best man at my grandparents wedding in Canton in 1895. Very shortly afterward, he disappeared and despite much searching, he was never found. All were perplexed as to why this otherwise happy, handsome ( I have a good photo) 23 year old would disappear. This is the least likely possibly, but given the proximity, it gives one pause.
That is so interesting and sad about his disappearance. I grew up out in the country between Cuba IL and Smithfield- about 45 minutes from the story. We had rolling hills, creeks and lakes as our playground. My sister and I always took our dogs with us. Never seen a thing- wasn’t afraid. But what I know now, makes me thankful nothing happened to us!
I found your UA-cam channel last night around midnight while I was getting ready to go to sleep. Needless to say, I ended up watching your videos until 6:00 A.M.! LOL. You're Awesome! You literally do a craft beer review, tell a great scary story, and Solo Canp/hike in some of the most beautiful scenic areas in the U.S. All of this Awesomeness wrapped up in one video. I am now officially subscribed to your UA-cam channel. Keep up the great work. P.S., if you ever get a chance to try any great Craft Beers from Treehouse, Bissell Brothers, or Trillium Brewing I guarantee you'll be amazed! Anyhoo, thanks again for your awesome content. Cheers! 🍻🍺🍺
I am so glad a famous UA-camr flipped his channel to focus on so many Bigfoot stories. Its like God answered my prayers. Catholic piety works again in my life!
We were just in your neck of the woods this weekend. From Amador to Fallon, then to Sparks and then to CVI and Markleeville. I was sooo looking forward to your story this Sunday! Great story as always, KH Chris!!
I used to deer hunt in that area near the spoon river. Never saw any out of place except for a bear one year that kept following us out out the woods after dark. Last time I was there was 2009 and I really love the strip mines.
So many people are left with an innate warning that seems to last for their lifetimes. There appears to be a type of communication along the subconscious level. For all the warning in my heart I still want to see one. I love this channel. God bless you Chris
Chris Sir you are a legend I would be scared to death out there Yet in daylight the scenery and your photos are breath taking ..Love it ALL..OH yes the stories are hair raising too..👍🇬🇧
Good video Chris. Next time let the fire crackling audio play along with the phone conversation to add more atmosphere, as if you guys were talking around the camp fire.
That is a great story. It adds some dimension to the cryptid thing, I think. I have seen a blond bear in the Los Padres. This is a mutation in many species. Keep hiking bud!
😮 I really really enjoyed this encounter. The man that you talked to sounded like a very down to earth honest person. Ive had two sightings myself right next door to me. I live in Maine. I enjoy listening to others tell about their encounters. I can relate to ways that they feel. Keep up the good work. I'm sure there are a lot of people who benefit from this. God bless.
Hello Chris good to see you a good video as always good work on being able to walk in the back country in the dark. Stay safe and can't wait for the next one.
Chris, great location & we loved the lingering video of the campfire! It’s instantly classic BCC, and very soothing. I swear I can smell the mellowing smoke. Perfectly mesmerizing with the riveting telling of the account. ❤️🔥❤️ More fire video any time, please. Thank you!
Wow! It's all about the timing on this man having to live his whole life with people thinking he's lying if it wasn't for the newspaper and deputies. I think that's a bigger deal than most would give it credit for as seeing something so rare and also having the fear impact and also the need to talk or validate it all encompass that!
I got my hearing aids so good to be able to hear your voice again!! Great story Chris, Brian saw something that was extremely rare to see, though frightening for him it was also a blessing xx
I saw a meteor hit abouta mile from our place in a gravel pit No one believed me! We coulda got some moola! Im so glad this man had a chance to retell his sighting! Thank you Chris, keep on hiking!
I am Brian's friend that was with him that day this is exactly what I remember that day,hearing this took me right back!
Wow. Please read my note (above) about my visiting Victoria, IL. Appreciate your's and Brian's sharing of your experience.
Happy to hear that you and Brian can finally have your story told. I was born in the 50’s so I never heard about Bigfoot.
My grandma grew up south of Victoria and my mom was born in the Red Brush community. Grandad worked at the Peabody coal mine there. He would have been working there in the 70s. I wish the old people were still alive so I could ask them about it. It is beautiful country out there. I'm guessing this was in the Snake Den and/or Little John area.
Some people think that guys like Brian are just telling tall tales but he seems pretty honest to me.
I even guess something must be true to this story he encountered
Most of these people are experienced woodsmen and its a little bit of a stretch to think they would make up stories like that. There are some things that just can't be explained away. Things that man just will never fully comprehend. Too many people have seen these things or heard them or had experiences in the deep woods that can not be explained. I think there is something in those woods, I've seen and heard things myself that I know nobody would believe me if I told it.
and he recalls it seemingly very naturally and matter of fact as well
I honestly don't know how you can walk back in the dark after telling these spooky stories
I think Chris would give anything to see a bigfoot in person. Especially if he catches one on his video.
And the dim flashlight too!
For real, the sound effects he adds freak me out when I'm just listening at home lol
It's easy enough when you get used to it. It's just a simple mind over matter thing. Used to be just me and the dog on my night time trail walks around the edges of my town, but the ex took the dogs so now I have to settle for walking with my brother lol.

Listening to those who have had encounters it almost seems like a primal fear that goes way back to some forgotten memory.
Yes, kind of like in our reptilian brain. Once that part of our brain is struck it does indeed register on a very deep level.
That may be exactly that. A primordial memory inherited from our ancestors when faced with another group of hominins, something that was common until a few thousand years ago
Yeah that is a constant theme in these reports. Ive heard a theory that Bigfoot is physical and a spiritual being. Like the manifestation of a demon ot whatever

That was a beautiful knife! id like to know what brand and where i might find one like it!
I love camping at Fort Churchill. Glad to see so much water in the Carson River. My son encountered a Bobcat down there along the river campground last fall.
I'll tell you a story about Bigfoot. It happened in 2014. I went to the Crimea to celebrate the New Year and visit the mountains, because I like to travel. Nothing foreshadowed the events that took place a little later. A month later, Russia annexed Crimea and a series of sad events began, leading to a full-scale war in 2022. But then everything was peaceful and calm, I arrived by train from Moscow to Simferopol. Then, on a trolleybus going through the passes, I drove to Yalta, a city located on the Black Sea coast. From there, I moved to the city of Alushta, next to which are the Demerdzhi mountains. I went hiking in the mountains, hoping to find a place to spend the night there and stay for a few days. On the way I stopped in an oak grove. There I made a fire and dined, ate food purchased at the market in Alushta. Suddenly I noticed a tuft of wool on a tree. It was located at a height of about 2 meters. The wool was white, long, reminiscent of the hair of an old woman. An inexplicable fear gripped me as I approached this object. I tried to leave this place as soon as possible. I am very sorry that I did not think of taking a sample of this wool, but there was something infernal in it and I was afraid. After some time, I found a place to camp. I set up my tent and got ready to sleep in a sleeping bag. Metal utensils, a pot and a mug were outside. Suddenly, I heard a strange and terrible sound that is hard to describe. It was a roar, loud and unusual in tone. As if the throat making that sound was made of wood. I was stunned with horror. It felt like my hair was moving on my head. Then there was silence. I tried to sleep and not think about it. However, in the middle of the night I woke up from the sounds of metal dishes. Someone walked around the tent and touched my items. It was snowing and I heard the crunch of the snow. At the same time, I experienced incredible fear, which completely paralyzed me. I couldn't move, it was hard to even breathe. I don’t know how long this went on, but suddenly I really wanted to go to the toilet. It was awful. But still I was able to find the strength in myself and get out of the tent. It was dark. I did not see anyone, did my business and returned back. The fear disappeared as suddenly as it appeared. Then I slept peacefully until morning. Studying the area in the morning, I did not find any unusual footprints. Then the locals told me that in these places it happens and people sometimes see Bigfoot.
This location is about 10 miles from my sister’s home in Illinois 😲
2 weeks ago the sighting in Monte Cristo Campground is 45 minutes from my apartment and I saw a Rocky Mountain Sasquatch video of a sighting down the block from another sister’s house in Morgan County. It’s crazy! I’m on the lookout with my front row view of the Wasatch Mtns with lots of sightings here in Utah!!
Where can we see the video?
😮

Are you talking Provo??! I'm here, grew up all over these mountains!

I really like how you put the interview over the cooking & fire scenes. It adds atmosphere to the narrative.
I look so forward to your stories on Sundays!! So spooky!!
I think that must be the shortest one you
have done yet. Hey I loved the campfire...NICE
The interview was great too...poor Brian...that's a lot of years to have to carry that with you...
Thanks Chris for all the great reading of people's stories & encounters & any story you do is always a great one!!
Until next time Chris...Stay safe & warm & Keep hiking!!
If it was going to hurt them it would of, I sometimes think they are afraid of us too and curious. Great video Chris.
I think so too...c 🐻
I think they're waiting for the go-ahead when the time is right. Til then, they don't want to be spotted!
I think so as well. I don't thing they are super aggresive.
And they should be afraid. How many humans want to kill things immediately that they’ve never seen before.
After we saw one not too far from our home one night, I was afraid to even drive through that area alone. For the longest every time I drove that stretch of road, I kept my camera on video. But lately I’ve been thinking if I ever see it again, I want to try to speak to it. From the inside of my car of course, just in case it isn’t friendly. 😊
@@esq8 What go ahead do you refer to?
Good afternoon Chris !
It’s friggin 84 degrees n
Roswell New Mexico 🥵👽🛸🐺🦇 today
It's like 40 here...had snow recent.C 🐻
@@basecampchris lucky !
Meanwhile n Roswell , I’m sweating while wearing flip flops n shorts
Without a doubt, one of my favorite YT channels, and my FAVORITE one concerning this subject. Thank you Chris.
Wow, thank you!
Hola Chris I enjoyed your video. Thank you for taking us along. keep the videos coming I Enjoy them. you’re awesome have a wonderful evening love and God bless.♥️💕❤️🙏🙏🙏👍✌️😇
I will never walk in the woods again. Thanks Chris for a very spooky story again. Here in Michigan Bigfoot was spotted as well. In the west Upper Peninsula there are thick forests which I never been to and not planning to visit anytime soon!!! 😅 As I've said before I would like to see Bigfoot and tend to believe there is such mysteries in the wilderness. Alot of things are possible. I had to laugh when Brian was saying that one has to be careful who they tell these stories to for fear of people calling them wacko. I can relate to what he said because I've had paranormal experiences that I only share with people who really know me. Lol. I look forward to each and everyone of your stories. Stay safe Chris!!!!
Hi Trudy, I am leaning towards yea, Sasquatch is real. Thanks to Chris, I have learned that these millions of acres of wilderness that connect 4 states in my back yard are only a VERY small part of wilderness acres in the US...not counting Canada! Lol! My grandmother told me when I was small, don't tell anyone about your "gift" because people may think you're not "right"...when I grew older, I took this as coo-coo!🤦🤣 Just because their are non-believers doesn't mean it's not real. Have a blessed week!
@@charlene5461 Thank you!! ❤️
That was a great story! I have a friend in St. Louis who goes looking for sasquatch evidence and he swears they are in Illinois.
Shawnee National Forest has plenty of Forest for anything to live!
Can’t sleep open UA-cam to see a new base camp Chris video. Perfect timing 🌙
Reubens are my favorite...thx again for a great story...totally believable ..cant imagine how terrifying that would be for a young boy..it would change your view of reality...
I agree...he was only 10! Love Reubens! C 🥪
I need to try a Reuben even though I don’t care for sauerkraut lol
@@basecampchris ☺️
@@psalmreader8049 you can leave the sauerkraut off😆
@@briarrose1955 that’s like leaving the tomato off of a BLT .
Nice to see you back out doing your thing! The production quality and content of your videos just keeps getting better and better.
Thank you so much GV! Keep being Awesome! C
Another great story Chris. The witness sounds very credible, he’s a lot like me you can remember something that happened 50 yrs ago, but you can’t remember what you had for lunch yesterday. Lol Thanks again, and keep hiking!
Love this one my daughter really enjoys listening to you stories thanks again.
Great new format. Love it! You are the Charles Kuralt of Cryptid You Tube presenters. 😊 This latest cryptid incident seems really credible. I’ve had my share of odd occurrences, so I tend to be open minded. Thanks for all the work you put into your content. That Reuben was delicious looking!
I just found you two days ago and have been binge-watching you every moment I get. You are such a good storyteller. The way you described things, I can just picture it! I'm like frozen watching my phone screen to hear you tell these stories! My favorite so far is ..the little girl with the potato chips❤
I’m always looking for a new video from you. Thanks for more great stories. 😊
You are so welcome!
Yayyy Chris looking forward to hearing this❤
awesome! c
This is my favorite episode so far - of course they're all good!!! I think I like the idea of him seeing a Sasquatch as a kid - WOW!!!!
You are in my favorite part of the country....planning on moving to Carson city....
I like it out here...wild and open! KH! c
I still don't understand how you can camp waaayyyy out in that deep forest....it gives me the creeps just watching you...I'm quite impressed on your photography...and your slot graphics..my second favorite passtime....your stories are captivating..?.
Great story Chris and Brian. Thanks for sharing.
Great story and so fascinating when you are able to include the actual person you interviewed! Thanks so much for sharing the stories and taking us to fascinating locations. 😊
This guy is my age - love Squatch stories but also love remembering the innocence of that time - bikes woods no cells no internet and reading articles / this was fun - thx!
My Grandfather and his parents arrived in Canton Illinois from New York in 1874. Canton is about 25-30 miles south of Victoria, Illinois. The family then consisted of two boys, one my grandfather his sister Mary, and brother John. Local fishing trips were to the Illinois river and various creeks. John was best man at my grandparents wedding in Canton in 1895. Very shortly afterward, he disappeared and despite much searching, he was never found. All were perplexed as to why this otherwise happy, handsome ( I have a good photo) 23 year old would disappear. This is the least likely possibly, but given the proximity, it gives one pause.
That is so interesting and sad about his disappearance. I grew up out in the country between Cuba IL and Smithfield- about 45 minutes from the story. We had rolling hills, creeks and lakes as our playground. My sister and I always took our dogs with us. Never seen a thing- wasn’t afraid. But what I know now, makes me thankful nothing happened to us!
Bigfoot is a demon, coming in and out of our world through portals.
I found your UA-cam channel last night around midnight while I was getting ready to go to sleep. Needless to say, I ended up watching your videos until 6:00 A.M.! LOL. You're Awesome! You literally do a craft beer review, tell a great scary story, and Solo Canp/hike in some of the most beautiful scenic areas in the U.S. All of this Awesomeness wrapped up in one video. I am now officially subscribed to your UA-cam channel. Keep up the great work. P.S., if you ever get a chance to try any great Craft Beers from Treehouse, Bissell Brothers, or Trillium Brewing I guarantee you'll be amazed! Anyhoo, thanks again for your awesome content. Cheers! 🍻🍺🍺
I think I am going to end up with high blood pressure after watching these videos! 😮
I LOVE them! 😂
I am so glad a famous UA-camr flipped his channel to focus on so many Bigfoot stories. Its like God answered my prayers.
Catholic piety works again in my life!
This is such a great story. I loved that the actually guy got to come on n tell about his account in person. Pretty cool !!!!
Yes!! Oh, thank you! :)
👍
Ahh Sargento,something special from Wisconsin. Love the call-ins Chris great story.
Yeah, I was glad to see it and sad he used only one slice. Two is my minimum! Lol
🇨🇦oh😊. Long day. Just sat down. And base camp Chris is here with a story. Perfection. Thank you😊🌟
Enjoy! c
We were just in your neck of the woods this weekend. From Amador to Fallon, then to Sparks and then to CVI and Markleeville. I was sooo looking forward to your story this Sunday! Great story as always, KH Chris!!
Awesome! Glad you made it out…Chris.
Love the way you relay a story with a cold one ❤
Thanks for the great stories. The world is a mysterious place. Wa, State aka Sasquatch Country. 🙌
Chris you are such a fabulous story teller !!
You’re the first UA-camr in years that I genuinely look forward to putting on one of your videos and being pulled into the stories
Good choice on the beer Chris! My favorite!
Good Stuff! C
Cant wait for dinner and the phone interview...what a story !
I used to deer hunt in that area near the spoon river.
Never saw any out of place except for a bear one year that kept following us out out the woods after dark.
Last time I was there was 2009 and I really love the strip mines.
So many people are left with an innate warning that seems to last for their lifetimes. There appears to be a type of communication along the subconscious level. For all the warning in my heart I still want to see one. I love this channel. God bless you Chris
Chris Sir you are a legend I would be scared to death out there Yet in daylight the scenery and your photos are breath taking ..Love it ALL..OH yes the stories are hair raising too..👍🇬🇧
Good video Chris. Next time let the fire crackling audio play along with the phone conversation to add more atmosphere, as if you guys were talking around the camp fire.
Thanks Chris❤
👌🐻⭐
@@basecampchris 😊
That is a great story.
It adds some dimension to the cryptid thing, I think. I have seen a blond bear in the Los Padres. This is a mutation in many species.
Keep hiking bud!
Great! Thanks C
The Best B'day prezzie ever, Brian you should feel blessed!!!👌
Yup! I think the same way! People go trying to find them to never see one.
This is the only time to go hiking and camping!
Extra nice video….love it all….hello from Michigan
Awesome job Chris. Thank you so much
Your videos are very interesring I always enjoy watching.
Thank you ISOB! Chris
Awesome story. Scary walk back to camp 😅 also that Rueben sandwich looks delicious
Love your channel I really appreciate you ❤️
Thank you so much 🤗
Another wild story! Kids would be scared out of their minds seeing something like that.
😮 I really really enjoyed this encounter. The man that you talked to sounded like a very down to earth honest person. Ive had two sightings myself right next door to me. I live in Maine. I enjoy listening to others tell about their encounters. I can relate to ways that they feel. Keep up the good work. I'm sure there are a lot of people who benefit from this. God bless.
Love Rueben’s buddy. Keep hiking. ❤
Hello Chris good to see you a good video as always good work on being able to walk in the back country in the dark. Stay safe and can't wait for the next one.
Chris, great location & we loved the lingering video of the campfire!
It’s instantly classic BCC, and very soothing. I swear I can smell the mellowing smoke. Perfectly mesmerizing with the riveting telling of the account.
❤️🔥❤️
More fire video any time, please.
Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
That’s a GOOD Porter Chris! A meal in a glass! Excellent story as well!
Wow! It's all about the timing on this man having to live his whole life with people thinking he's lying if it wasn't for the newspaper and deputies. I think that's a bigger deal than most would give it credit for as seeing something so rare and also having the fear impact and also the need to talk or validate it all encompass that!
Great storytelling. I’m hooked. 👍
Great story Chris! Hope you enjoyed that Reuben sandwich!
I got my hearing aids so good to be able to hear your voice again!! Great story Chris, Brian saw something that was extremely rare to see, though frightening for him it was also a blessing xx
I saw a meteor hit abouta mile from our place in a gravel pit No one believed me! We coulda got some moola!
Im so glad this man had a chance to retell his sighting!
Thank you Chris, keep on hiking!
Wow! What are the chances to see a meteor land?....like one in a million!
Wow, a white one, how scary, can you imagine seeing that at 10yrs old. I would never go outside again. Great show, thx
Thank you for sharing your campfire and your stories with us. Makes for a wonderful evening.
Good story and the Reuben sandwich looked yummy! I really enjoy how you are adding the actual interviews to your videos. Great job Chris.
Thank you Chris, love your stories !
This one of my favorite episodes - thanks!!! (Great sandwich! 😉)
