Your mini docs are so well done. You really understand coverage which means you’re thinking about the final product. You’ve made what is basically a quiet camping trip into something thrilling and captivating. I’m not completely sold on Bigfoot but I watch tons of Bigfoot videos. You're producing some of the best content in the field. There are so many videos like this but your personality and filmmaking skills elevate these to a whole other level. Really REALLY enjoyable. Keep it up man!!
Thanks so much bro. Means a lot. I LOVE being out in the wild more than anything. But I do also love the filmmaking aspect of it all from shooting it to editing. Really appreciate you watching
Yeah. Keep watching. They are real. Only saying that as i live out as far as u can go in mullumbimby mountains australia. Nsw. & we hav an elusive yowie that will run beside ur car in bush & u can hear it stomping across th small creek causeways. It followed me home after a forest party & when i stopped, it stopped? Very secretive creatiures but they are there & when u live out in th hills, u become sensitive to noises & activity outside at night, our property goes along an animal migration trail & we get all sorts of snakes & animsls running past & through our house. Pretty amazing footage in these vids. Mx
I am French and I wish i could see all those amazing woods you're wandering in by myself , i have believed in bigfoot for years, I am passionate about cryptozoology and I discovered your videos very recently and I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the quality of your work and your reflections and your videos, the images are absolutely superb and thanks to you I have the impression of traveling without moving, you are a beautiful person and your approach of bigfoot is really fascinating , sometimes i'm even scared when i watch your videos especially when it's night time it's SO DARK in the woods at night !!!! MERCI du fond du coeur pour tout cela :)
Coucou 😊moi aussi je suis passionnée et il est vraiment super. Après , on y croit où on y croit pas .une dame medium qui arrive à parler avec un certain Bigfoot et son fils il me semble,à un endroit particulier ,a raconté qu autant il y en a des sympas et tolérants tt comme l inverse . Surtout qu ils ne supportent plus l humain et sa destruction de la nature...de plus en plus ils ne viennent plus ,ne traversent plus leurs portails pour venir . A cause des chasseurs de photos de films ...pourtant ils viennent dans notre dimension depuis avant nous !et s entendaient très bien avec les Natifs avec qui ils échangeaient régulièrement.
@@mikewanders Love your channel Mike would love to see more videos of you spending the night in popular Bigfoot hotspot locations If you ever have the chance to make your way up to northern Michigan, there’s a lot of hotspots up there would love to see an overnight stay vlog from you there northern Michigan is so beautiful Crystal Clear water beautiful wooden trails that go for miles sand dunes and spacious open woodland don’t know what the laws are up in Canada but I would hope that you carry a powerful rifle or handgun with you it’s the wildlife that’s dangerous even here in USA always carry something ! Stay safe thank you for the content you put out , also i think they exist I’ve heard weird grunts and whoops out in nothern Michigan there must be something out there we don’t know of
I used to live in the area quite a few years back. Beautiful country What I have learned about Sasquatches is that like every other species, there is the nice curious one’s & then there’s the not so nice that don’t want man in their territory. Not to forget the unpredictable black & brown bears, and then the grizzly. So yes, you are taking a huge risk in going alone.
You were traipsing around in my backyard... From where I live, I can get to the areas where you were at in about 30 to 45 minutes. I was born and raised in this area and have traversed all of the mountains and valleys, both on foot and horseback, quad, and snowmobile multiple times over the past 50 years. Back in the 60's and 70's, my father was a prison guard at Nordegg and was also a hunter/trapper. My whole family are avid outdoors people to one degree or another. The land I live on, was part of my father's hunting and trapping grounds, which were originally purchased by my great great grandfather in the 1880's. Back in the late 60's (1968 I believe), I remember my father coming home from work one day and he was talking to my mother, sister's, and myself about some big news that was going through the area. Construction on the Bighorn dam was about to start and there was a small crew of tradesmen at the site. They were doing some prep work for the main construction of the dam. While one guy was working away, he had noticed up about 200' on southern wall of the river's canyon, a large, dark coloured creature was sitting on a small ledge and was watching them. At first he thought it was a bear but it was sitting like a human would. The worker watched it for a bit when the other tradesmen noticed their coworker staring up at something, they also seen whatever was sitting up on that ledge, for almost an hour. Then it stood up and that was when everyone realized, that was no bear. It had a human-like shape and was covered in very dark fur. When it stood up, it was standing next to some spruce trees and had grabbed the trunk of one. Then shortly after it turned around and in a matter of seconds, climbed to the top of the ridge and walked out of sight. It was never seen again. One of the workers climbed up to the spot that the creature had been standing and had grabbed the spruce. The worker stood in the spot and the guys were able to estimate that the creature was between 12 to 15 feet in height. Over a span of about 5 to 7 years, there were a bunch of sightings in the area. No one in my family has ever seen any unknown creatures or heard anything and we have been over every square inch of the Nordegg area, multiple times. However, the Blackstone area, where you were at, is the one and only spot where my father and I seen something that we could not and I still cannot explain. Mid November in the early 80's. My father and I were hunting in the Blackstone area. There was quite a bit of snow on the ground and it had snowed the night before. My father spotted some tracks. They were made less than an hour before we got there. They were huge and in a similar shape to a human foot print. My father and I know every animal's tracks that live in those mountains and valleys and we could not identify what made these prints. I've seen bear tracks where the bear has a slight offset to where it's hind paw print is in relation to it's front paw print, which makes both prints look like a large human foot print but the size of these prints would have meant that the bear would have been larger than a polar bear. The other main mystery was that the prints just started in the middle of nowhere and after about 150 yards, the just stopped right in the middle of a small clearing. No trees, no nothing. Never seen my dad spook before but that was enough for him to call it a day and we turned around and went home. We avoided the area for a couple of years. Other than that, I've never seen or heard anything that I wasn't familiar with. I have friends on the Sunchild, O'Chiese, and Bighorn that all have had personal experiences or stories of relatives who had experiences but most of them were decades past. I think there was something like a family unit of some sort in the area at one time, but like all animals, they either move on or eventually grow old and die. There was a lot of dense forest in the area to hide in back in the day, but increased logging and human habitation in the area has changed a lot of animal's habits. With so many sightings and alleged interactions over the decades, I don't know if I should be grateful or offended lol. I'd be wary of modern day stories because there are locals that do things to scare people away from the area. It's because there has been a steady increase of human activity such as camping, hunting, etc. and it is increasingly doing damage to the local environment and those of us who live out here, do so because we want to be away from civilization. So a few spooky stories and some carefully planned theatrics have been done in recent years. It's already risky enough for getting shot during hunting season so I don't do it myself and I wish they would stop pulling that crap because is going to get someone hurt one day.
listen brave ? do you what chances are to meet near in that massive area ? more mlikly you meet bear in you garden Sir , nothing to do with nrave, he is shting he pants at all the time, , watch Les stroud thats brave no this, if i can afford it i will travel now from poland and stay ther 20 days just like that SIr , grow some balls SIR
I LOVE the forest! I was born in Northern British Columbia Canada. Unfortunately i was raised in the city on Vancouver Island so I lost touch with my outdoorsy side. I also have mobility issues due to health so I have to say I am SO GRATEFUL for your videos! Love these Bigfoot ones! Keep up the amazing work! 🤟🏽🖤
I listened to a lot instead of watching because I was expecting a bear or something and i was scared. I can't imagine going out there alone. I love that area but I'll stay on the beaten track.
One comment about bear spray; I don't think bear spray can stop a bear who is committed to charging. If bear spray stops a charging bear, then it was most likely a bluff charge.
We stopped in nordegg late one night to use a phone booth, it was deserted and I got the creepiest feeling, couldn’t get back in the car and out of there fast enough.
Terrifying and hilarious at the same time, esp when it does the high pitched thing. I'd wet myself hearing one of those things going off like that in the woods at night.
Going out in Bear country, without a shotgun and slugs, is crazy! There were a bunch of bear attacks in 2024, and bear spray alone didn't cut it. In Canada, you can apply for a license to carry a shotgun in the backcountry, as US citizen.
I love your videos, you're 100% open minded and ready to accept more likely explanations rather than try to make things fit into the sasquatch box but also I can tell you really are a believer or at least, again, totally open to believe. Excellent channel mate, please keep doing videos. Love and respect from the UK.
@mikewanders I forgot to add, regardless of you filming an actual Squatch, the cinematography and way you film and create the videos is beautiful and worth watching in itself.
I just dont know. I tried for years to believe. Followed Les through all his documentaries. But got over it. It really is fun to follow you thru that incredible forest. It is exciting. Hope you do have a sighting. Peace. P.j. Calif.
I was so excited to see another one of your Bigfoot videos this week Mike so thank you so much! A great deal of work must go into making your films and I so appreciate it. I also love your choice of music. It really fits the mood for each one very nicely. I love the one that you use often as the opener song. I think I’ve heard it before but I just love it. The atmosphere in this one was intense. The thunder was your constant companion. Someday I wonder if I’ll see a creature peek out from behind a tree as you walk by! I’m always relieved for you in the morning when the sun comes up and your tent is still intact! I used to think tree structures were rather silly but I have seen enough now to see when they are interesting and look like they have been put together for a reason and not random deadfall.
Mike, you have the best Bigfoot videos out there. Your passion for the subject along with your grounded methodology , is a breath of fresh air for enthusiasts all over the world. When I watch your videos, I feel like I am there experiencing everything you are. More Bigfoot vids!!! You are the best bro!!!
Glad you played the Lynx vocals! Here in Washington I've recorded Bobcat doing similar and they often times sound like they're much bigger animals than they are.
man, you need to keep doing these videos, do ones about ufo's and skinwalkers too. As much as i love exploring videos adding creepy things to it makes it much more interesting especially at your quality.
I agree on "stick structures" my friend. Waaayyy too much emphasis put on those & "tree knocks". Absolutely zero evidence to link the two to anything. Jesus or aliens could have most definitely be responsible for either anomaly. Also, I believe you may have answered a question that you asked early in the vid. IF BF were in the area you were in, they would definitely had known you were there, correct? If so, why in the world would anyone have to bang on trees with sticks or hoot, hollor & scream in the woods. IF they are there, they'll let ya know . Act like any other credible witness acting like a hunter, camper hiker or fisherman. Never understood all the extracurricular stuff.Really enjoyed your content. So refreshing to not have mindspeaking, shapeshifting portal hopping & orbs, aliens & nephelim crapola shoved down our throats. Keep up the good stuff. New England here.
I myself have had a weird experience in that area, back before I messed up my knee, I would hike and fish in that area. But those tree breaks can explained, because the snow in that area is extremely heavy, and it can get extremely cold, the tree structures, are the parts that would interest me. My experience was in the March/April, went ice fishing around Nordegg, and constantly felt like I was being watched, and something very heavy hit the cabin we were staying at one of the nights. Hit so hard it rattled pictures on the wall. It was one of the first nights we were out there, so I started googling and that’s when I found out what the area is known for, other than some fantastic hiking. There is a lot of activity around Ram River Falls, stones being thrown at campers. The structures near the end look like they were built to force game in a certain direction for hunting.
hey heyyy dude 👋🥸.. 6:30 you are talking about the noise a Lynx an Bobcat makes well, they are the same so there isnt much difference lol... but, i must say.. when i was a young kid an following my grandpa through the woods for weks at a time eating nothing but the animals we trapped and the fish we caught, there is one sound i swear to god gave me nightmares for the entirety of my young life up till my early 20s.. its hearing a rabbit that is caught in a snare.. sometimes they dont die right away an just get stuck an when they hear us coming up the trapline.. they scream like there is a baby using a megaphone and it pierces the deep forest quietness... just thiking of it now, remembering the experience as i type it im getting goosebumps, an the hair on the back of my neck is standing up... im sure ill have nightmares of it again for a few days after deep delving into my sub-conscious to remember this story... this was awesome dude an if i may, give you some advice... and it matters not if you believe in spirits of the forest but the fact of the matter there is something out there... next time you are alone an go out in the woods like this, bring a pouch of tobacco ..find a place where no one will step on an take a good pinch of tobacco and place it under the ground... it is just a gesture of respect... things will go better for you on your trips, trips like this one into the woods, alone ... ill guarantee that one 😎👍.. well thx for sharing your excursion here an ill see you on the next one .. and above all, stay safe out there dude.. Buh Bye from Central Canada 👋🤓
I recently saw a video where two bull moose had gotten stuck on each other somehow. The smaller one had ended up on the ground and was being pummeled by the larger moose's hooves. Every time the moose was being hammered on, it yelled in pain and it sounded similar to a man yelling in pain. If I heard that in the woods, I'd genuinely be terrified to move towards it. I'd be wondering if someone was torturing someone in the woods or a grizzly was eating someone alive.
Enjoyed your video. People calling wind or naturally fallen trees “structures” is quite a stretch. Over time they can accumulate to quite a variety of jumbles. Last summer I backpacked in northern Colorado and kept hearing a fairly soft but eerie howling. Then I realized it was a gentle wind blowing through a stand of dead trees killed by a fire several years earlier. It seems when we’re alone in the wilderness for a while we become more attuned to unfamiliar but natural sounds around us.
I know exactly where you are Mike! I know that whole area; and i had my experience with the big guy quite a few times! It’s definitely a site to behold. Just stay still and calm; hopefully you have ghillie suit with you. Mask your scent. You will come across structures in there. But you have to stay at least a month or more.
Just found your channel. Like what I see, you take skepticism as far as it needs to be. Subscribed & looking for more. Your camera work is really good, especially the Les Stroud 3rd person effects/shots.
Don't comment much on any TH-cam videos but really like & enjoy your grounded style research documentaries/videos. Careful out there on the wilderness and best wishes to you and your channel this 2025.
As newbies to your channel...we find you to be grounded and you debunk and scrutinize the wilderness around you first. So refreshing....and you are so FIERCE. BE SAFE OUT THERE. HAPPY NEW YEAR Julie and Bill. 💚
Finally someone takes over where mountain beast mysteries left us hanging , I'd check out the area near Harrison Lake on the B.C. Coast aswell as a hot spot , also I'd camp away from the river as it masks alot of noise so you won't be able to hear anything around
I'm new to the channel, so I just subscribed today. Very well made video, and even though you didn't get any action till you were leaving, it was still enjoyable to watch. I got the chills when you were out there in the dark. You're a lot braver than most people. I know I wouldn't have done that. Especially in grizzly country. Beautiful scenery, too. Now I've got to go back and watch them all. 😉
I watched your blue mountains video this fall while camping along hwy 40, alone. That was enough to spook me then. Now, I'm planing a 500 km bikepacking trip along that highway from Hinton to Canmore. Hopefully I don't run into them on my bike. Excellent documentation & research. I love how you don't just say everything you find must be bigfoot. The lynx calls were very interesting. How many people just say, "must be bigfoot," and make a big deal about it, when it's explainable.
I just recently came across your channel. I am extremely fascinated with Sasquatch and other cryptids. I enjoyed this video very much!! You are much more braver than I am. To be completely alone out there would totally freak me out! The sounds of the Lynx were absolutely terrifying! I didn't realize they sounded that way. Your description of it was spot on. Like a witch screaming in the woods.
Also the Bar and hotle owner in Robb Alberta told me personally that Nordegg is hot spot for Sasquatch his own experiences. Small town and villages people will tell you.
Excellent videos, enjoy watching your adventures. I've been out around Nordegg area many times and it's beautiful country. Never seen Sasq but always on the lookout🤘
33:52 I know what you mean in a place like that where there could be a few explanations for the tree structures. But I have seen them close to the town I live in with trees that are too heavy for a person to carry and no reason for anyone to pick up a tree and place it across a walking trail. In the area I also saw definite prints in the snow, my dog sensed something I couldn’t see and wouldn’t move for almost 10 minutes and I also saw the being from the mid torso up. You don’t need to go to the middle of nowhere, they show themselves to you, people can’t find them unless they choose to show themselves. Btw I live in central Alberta and I know the area you’re in very well.
I definitely think you'll see/film one if you keep at it! They’re probably so rare. I hope to see you keep posting too so we know you're safe since you do this alone. Also, those Lynx sounds were incredibly haunting. Great video, prints, and tree structures! Maybe they make certain structures to be creative, while others look territorial. I’ve heard some people say Sasquatch are less active certain times of year. I’m not sure, but that place is incredibly squatchy and it would be cool to see you go back!
Dammnnn you are one brave man walking through Alberta wilderness at night by yourself. Oregon, California, Washington, most of Idaho no problem, still spooky yes but Alberta is another level of scary, like 10/10. Alberta has lots of Grizzlies. Remember the Grizzlies far from the coast are the aggressive ones, they don't have the ocean/beaches to feed from, the nicer weather for more berries, grasses etc and salmon to feed from.
I'm pretty impressed with the videography you do. Very reminiscent of how Les Stroud does his videos. It takes alot of effort to make good videos by yourself by setting up the cam, walking past, picking the cam back up. Nice work. It shows in the end product.
I used to hike in that area. Very beautiful out there. I love the beautiful shots and the sound tracks you added into this video. Have you ever thought about making an ambient sound video? I mean just making a video of these beautiful scenes with the haunting music but without any talking or dialogue. It would be perfect for doing meditation or just relaxing.
PLEASE consider bringing an audio recorder with you and use it when you go out on your night ops AND when youre sleeping. I cant tell you how many possible Bigfoot sounds/activity you might be missing. I recommend getting a TASCAM. Any kind of digital recorder can work, but TASCAMs have very good quality and it's my main audio device (besides, a parabolic). Parabolics are excellent too.
Good stuff and great to see you back out there. I like your tempered skepticism and open-mindedness. Beautiful country up there as well. Thanks for taking us along.. Please keep them coming.. Good to see the subject explored without everything being a concrete sign of the creature.
The whistling is a dead giveaway that they are there , close and more than one of them. You hear the whistling, they will wait you out, but eventually one will explore your camp. I have had that exact scenario repeat itself several times. You should check out the Mckenzie river valley in oregon.
Your mini docs are so well done. You really understand coverage which means you’re thinking about the final product.

Fantastic stories! Thank you for sharing, would love to have grown up in such a place of majestic beauty and mystery
I live in Alberta and have been to Nordegg many times. This is the first I'm hearing of big foot activity in the area...
😂😂😂
Cant wait to watch this later tonight, I live only about 2 hours from there. This is basically in my backyard!
Wow I’m jealous!
The wife and I camp in that area regularly. Nordegg is our fuel stop
Beautiful place.
Beautiful filming, perfect music. Just the adventure I needed. Thank you.
Thanks so much for saying that
Tree structures are there universal language ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😮😊
Spent a lot of time camping in that area solo. It’s real freaky after dark, but the stunning beauty of the area is second to none.
Tent camping alone in Grizzly country.. you are brave sir!
listen brave ? do you what chances are to meet near in that massive area ? more mlikly you meet bear in you garden Sir , nothing to do with nrave, he is shting he pants at all the time, , watch Les stroud thats brave no this, if i can afford it i will travel now from poland and stay ther 20 days just like that SIr , grow some balls SIR
It can get sketchy. Especially in Yellowstone
YESSSS! Guess who's having a movie night tomorrow, I got so many people HOOKED to these Bigfoot videos 😅🎉🎉
Yes! I love that!
I LOVE the forest! I was born in Northern British Columbia Canada. Unfortunately i was raised in the city on Vancouver Island so I lost touch with my outdoorsy side.

Man its good to see you back with another documentary... I dig your work, its solid and you keep it real!
Thanks so much. Love hearing that
I was so happy when I saw this pop up!! Thanks bro!!
Thank YOU
Brilliant video. I was scared just watching you, so total respect for being out there alone.
Respect you watching!
I listened to a lot instead of watching because I was expecting a bear or something and i was scared. I can't imagine going out there alone. I love that area but I'll stay on the beaten track.
New to the channel from uk ....love the sabie and all things phenomenal
You picked up a new subscriber tonight. NO BS jumping to conclusions, straightforward. Now i will go watch all your other videos. 😊

We stopped in nordegg late one night to use a phone booth, it was deserted and I got the creepiest feeling, couldn’t get back in the car and out of there fast enough.
Its haunted😂😂😂😂
Beautiful
Wonderfully done….always enjoy your BF adventures…Thank you 👣
So, the Lynx is pretty fricking terrifying then?
Terrifying and hilarious at the same time, esp when it does the high pitched thing. I'd wet myself hearing one of those things going off like that in the woods at night.
Going out in Bear country, without a shotgun and slugs, is crazy! There were a bunch of bear attacks in 2024, and bear spray alone didn't cut it. In Canada, you can apply for a license to carry a shotgun in the backcountry, as US citizen.
Perfect timing 😎
Fr lol
I love your videos, you're 100% open minded and ready to accept more likely explanations rather than try to make things fit into the sasquatch box but also I can tell you really are a believer or at least, again, totally open to believe. Excellent channel mate, please keep doing videos. Love and respect from the UK.
Thank you so much. Yeah approaching with an open mind is a must. But also have to consider all the logical explanations first.
@mikewanders I forgot to add, regardless of you filming an actual Squatch, the cinematography and way you film and create the videos is beautiful and worth watching in itself.
Great video! Eye shine at 14: 43 behind your hat in woods, I slow mode it to 0.25.
much love from central switzerland
I just dont know. I tried for years to believe.
Followed Les through all his documentaries. But got over it.
It really is fun to follow you thru that incredible forest. It is exciting. Hope you do have a sighting.
Peace. P.j. Calif.
Awesome! 🦉
Nordegg is amazing place with lots of weirdness at times ,good video , I've spent the last 25 years out in that country ,its awesome
goood stuff! I appreciate your approach and your content. Keep it up! God bless
@@danielwall5914 thank you!
Grizzly country!? Bro! You've slipped a gear somewhere on life's road. Even with a 10 gauge shotgun I'd be up all night. Terrified.
I was so excited to see another one of your Bigfoot videos this week Mike so thank you so much! A great deal of work must go into making your films and I so appreciate it. I also love your choice of music. It really fits the mood for each one very nicely. I love the one that you use often as the opener song. I think I’ve heard it before but I just love it. The atmosphere in this one was intense. The thunder was your constant companion. Someday I wonder if I’ll see a creature peek out from behind a tree as you walk by! I’m always relieved for you in the morning when the sun comes up and your tent is still intact! I used to think tree structures were rather silly but I have seen enough now to see when they are interesting and look like they have been put together for a reason and not random deadfall.
Keep up the good work man ..always excited when u post new Bigfoot videos
Thanks a ton!
Glad I watched this for no reason
Man, your video editing skills have really ramped up. Great video. Beautiful country bro. Stay safe
Hey I really appreciate that. Thanks so much
Those lynx sounds would had me packing out!
You have nerves of steel. Definitely enjoyed this video. I was on pins and needles.
Wunderbar! 💚 from Germany
Thank you! Hello Germany!
Mike, you have the best Bigfoot videos out there. Your passion for the subject along with your grounded methodology , is a breath of fresh air for enthusiasts all over the world. When I watch your videos, I feel like I am there experiencing everything you are. More Bigfoot vids!!! You are the best bro!!!
Paul, thanks so much for saying that. I definitely want the viewer to feel like they are there, so that’s cool to hear. Happy new year!
Those lynx cries are wild!
I think structures are THE most interesting thing. Repetitive designs just don't happen over and over without a builder.
It's also no coiincidence that the countless vids/shows will never find a bf. Or that people will use the subject for profit.
I was scared too 👀 Thanks for taking us on your Nordegg Adventure. Very well done Sir 👍
Thank you for watching!
Man if I heard those Lynx noises I would absolutely 💩 my pants!
Glad you played the Lynx vocals! Here in Washington I've recorded Bobcat doing similar and they often times sound like they're much bigger animals than they are.
Awesome! Love your work
The X’s where you found the footprints….. awesome!! ❤️
Stoked for this!!
man, you need to keep doing these videos, do ones about ufo's and skinwalkers too. As much as i love exploring videos adding creepy things to it makes it much more interesting especially at your quality.
Thanks so much man. That means a lot
I agree on "stick structures" my friend. Waaayyy too much emphasis put on those & "tree knocks". Absolutely zero evidence to link the two to anything. Jesus or aliens could have most definitely be responsible for either anomaly. Also, I believe you may have answered a question that you asked early in the vid. IF BF were in the area you were in, they would definitely had known you were there, correct? If so, why in the world would anyone have to bang on trees with sticks or hoot, hollor & scream in the woods. IF they are there, they'll let ya know . Act like any other credible witness acting like a hunter, camper hiker or fisherman. Never understood all the extracurricular stuff.Really enjoyed your content. So refreshing to not have mindspeaking, shapeshifting portal hopping & orbs, aliens & nephelim crapola shoved down our throats. Keep up the good stuff. New England here.
I myself have had a weird experience in that area, back before I messed up my knee, I would hike and fish in that area. But those tree breaks can explained, because the snow in that area is extremely heavy, and it can get extremely cold, the tree structures, are the parts that would interest me.
My experience was in the March/April, went ice fishing around Nordegg, and constantly felt like I was being watched, and something very heavy hit the cabin we were staying at one of the nights. Hit so hard it rattled pictures on the wall. It was one of the first nights we were out there, so I started googling and that’s when I found out what the area is known for, other than some fantastic hiking.
There is a lot of activity around Ram River Falls, stones being thrown at campers.
The structures near the end look like they were built to force game in a certain direction for hunting.
hey heyyy dude 👋🥸..
6:30
you are talking about the noise a Lynx an Bobcat makes well, they are the same so there isnt much difference lol...
but, i must say.. when i was a young kid an following my grandpa through the woods for weks at a time eating nothing but the animals we trapped
and the fish we caught, there is one sound i swear to god gave me nightmares for the entirety of my young life up till my early 20s..
its hearing a rabbit that is caught in a snare.. sometimes they dont die right away an just get stuck an when they hear us coming up the trapline..
they scream like there is a baby using a megaphone and it pierces the deep forest quietness...
just thiking of it now, remembering the experience as i type it im getting goosebumps, an the hair on the back of my neck is standing up...
im sure ill have nightmares of it again for a few days after deep delving into my sub-conscious to remember this story...
this was awesome dude an if i may, give you some advice...
and it matters not if you believe in spirits of the forest but the fact of the matter there is something out there...
next time you are alone an go out in the woods like this, bring a pouch of tobacco ..find a place where no one will step on an take a good pinch of
tobacco and place it under the ground... it is just a gesture of respect... things will go better for you on your trips, trips like this one into the woods, alone ...
ill guarantee that one 😎👍..
well thx for sharing your excursion here an ill see you on the next one ..
and above all, stay safe out there dude..
Buh Bye from Central Canada 👋🤓
I recently saw a video where two bull moose had gotten stuck on each other somehow. The smaller one had ended up on the ground and was being pummeled by the larger moose's hooves. Every time the moose was being hammered on, it yelled in pain and it sounded similar to a man yelling in pain. If I heard that in the woods, I'd genuinely be terrified to move towards it. I'd be wondering if someone was torturing someone in the woods or a grizzly was eating someone alive.
25:03 That track is VERY interesting. I have seen others make a big deal of much, much less. Great find!
i'm only 3 mins in and i can tell you are really good at this.. i can't believe you only have 17k subs
Always great content. Well done
Extremely realistic footage, I can follow the journey all day long, thank you!
Great job Mike!
Thank you!!
Enjoyed your video. People calling wind or naturally fallen trees “structures” is quite a stretch. Over time they can accumulate to quite a variety of jumbles.
Last summer I backpacked in northern Colorado and kept hearing a fairly soft but eerie howling. Then I realized it was a gentle wind blowing through a stand of dead trees killed by a fire several years earlier. It seems when we’re alone in the wilderness for a while we become more attuned to unfamiliar but natural sounds around us.
Balls of steel
That Pine along the road was snapped off at a Gall Rust canker which weakens the tree. Lots of Gall Rust in the Nordegg area.
Beautiful locations and great content as always Mike. Nothing better than boots on the ground! Stay safe ☘️
The lynx at 11:10 is hilarious (and the low growl actually disturbing) but I would tip the F right out of there if I ever heard that lol.
I know exactly where you are Mike! I know that whole area; and i had my experience with the big guy quite a few times! It’s definitely a site to behold. Just stay still and calm; hopefully you have ghillie suit with you. Mask your scent. You will come across structures in there. But you have to stay at least a month or more.
fantastic film - thank you!
Thank YOU
U got guts dude ! 👍
Wow! Outdoor adventures are the best! Ty for the experience & knowledge!
Just found your channel. Like what I see, you take skepticism as far as it needs to be. Subscribed & looking for more. Your camera work is really good, especially the Les Stroud 3rd person effects/shots.
Appreciate that!! Thanks a ton
I always wanted to explore Nordegg. I live in the foothills and plan to explore soon! Thank you for your great videos.
Just be safe! Thanks for watching
Definitely won't be going alone like you lol. you're way brave 🙌🏽
Don't comment much on any TH-cam videos but really like & enjoy your grounded style research documentaries/videos. Careful out there on the wilderness and best wishes to you and your channel this 2025.
Thank you so much for saying that. I really appreciate this comment so I’m glad you reached out. Happy new year!
As newbies to your channel...we find you to be grounded and you debunk and scrutinize the wilderness around you first. So refreshing....and you are so FIERCE.
BE SAFE OUT THERE.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Julie and Bill.
💚
I really appreciate that! Thanks so much for watching
And happy new year!
Good exploration and video. I appreciate clear- minded approach and analysis. Also your obvious love and respect for the natural environment. Thanks
Thanks a ton. Appreciate you watching
Great video and exploration brother I love Bigfoot too you be safe up there carnal, Que Dios TE bendiga amigo🙏
Thanks man I appreciate that
Finally someone takes over where mountain beast mysteries left us hanging , I'd check out the area near Harrison Lake on the B.C. Coast aswell as a hot spot , also I'd camp away from the river as it masks alot of noise so you won't be able to hear anything around
I'm new to the channel, so I just subscribed today. Very well made video, and even though you didn't get any action till you were leaving, it was still enjoyable to watch. I got the chills when you were out there in the dark. You're a lot braver than most people. I know I wouldn't have done that. Especially in grizzly country. Beautiful scenery, too. Now I've got to go back and watch them all. 😉
Love your stuff bro
The last thing I would want to hear in the woods at night is a Lynx (or a cat) or a Bear!
I watched your blue mountains video this fall while camping along hwy 40, alone. That was enough to spook me then. Now, I'm planing a 500 km bikepacking trip along that highway from Hinton to Canmore. Hopefully I don't run into them on my bike.
Excellent documentation & research. I love how you don't just say everything you find must be bigfoot. The lynx calls were very interesting. How many people just say, "must be bigfoot," and make a big deal about it, when it's explainable.
I just recently came across your channel. I am extremely fascinated with Sasquatch and other cryptids. I enjoyed this video very much!! You are much more braver than I am. To be completely alone out there would totally freak me out! The sounds of the Lynx were absolutely terrifying! I didn't realize they sounded that way. Your description of it was spot on. Like a witch screaming in the woods.
Definitely sounds like a witch. Sooo spooky. And thanks so much watching
You should come back to that location during late spring.
Even during daylight ⚠️. I'm on PINS & NEEDLES 😬 FABULOUS video, brother !!! Be safe out there.☮️
That was an awesome watch, thank man.
Thanks so much for watching
Also the Bar and hotle owner in Robb Alberta told me personally that Nordegg is hot spot for Sasquatch his own experiences. Small town and villages people will tell you.
Excellent videos, enjoy watching your adventures. I've been out around Nordegg area many times and it's beautiful country. Never seen Sasq but always on the lookout🤘
Wonderful video. Hello from Sydney Australia 😊
Hello Sydney!
33:52 I know what you mean in a place like that where there could be a few explanations for the tree structures. But I have seen them close to the town I live in with trees that are too heavy for a person to carry and no reason for anyone to pick up a tree and place it across a walking trail. In the area I also saw definite prints in the snow, my dog sensed something I couldn’t see and wouldn’t move for almost 10 minutes and I also saw the being from the mid torso up. You don’t need to go to the middle of nowhere, they show themselves to you, people can’t find them unless they choose to show themselves. Btw I live in central Alberta and I know the area you’re in very well.
I live by Nordegg. That whistling was them or a clap sound.
I definitely think you'll see/film one if you keep at it! They’re probably so rare. I hope to see you keep posting too so we know you're safe since you do this alone. Also, those Lynx sounds were incredibly haunting. Great video, prints, and tree structures! Maybe they make certain structures to be creative, while others look territorial. I’ve heard some people say Sasquatch are less active certain times of year. I’m not sure, but that place is incredibly squatchy and it would be cool to see you go back!
Dammnnn you are one brave man walking through Alberta wilderness at night by yourself. Oregon, California, Washington, most of Idaho no problem, still spooky yes but Alberta is another level of scary, like 10/10. Alberta has lots of Grizzlies. Remember the Grizzlies far from the coast are the aggressive ones, they don't have the ocean/beaches to feed from, the nicer weather for more berries, grasses etc and salmon to feed from.
I'm pretty impressed with the videography you do. Very reminiscent of how Les Stroud does his videos. It takes alot of effort to make good videos by yourself by setting up the cam, walking past, picking the cam back up. Nice work. It shows in the end product.
Please tell me there will be more of these documentaries ❤
Yes there will be. Thanks for watching Vanessa
@@mikewanders love you for what you do! Thank youu
You have big cahoonies to solo camp the places you do. Next you'll be staying in the old cabin in Ape Canyon lol.
Great channel 😊🇭🇲
I used to hike in that area. Very beautiful out there. I love the beautiful shots and the sound tracks you added into this video. Have you ever thought about making an ambient sound video? I mean just making a video of these beautiful scenes with the haunting music but without any talking or dialogue. It would be perfect for doing meditation or just relaxing.
PLEASE consider bringing an audio recorder with you and use it when you go out on your night ops AND when youre sleeping. I cant tell you how many possible Bigfoot sounds/activity you might be missing. I recommend getting a TASCAM. Any kind of digital recorder can work, but TASCAMs have very good quality and it's my main audio device (besides, a parabolic). Parabolics are excellent too.
Damn I thought my cats were loud at night! Holy Hell!
Good stuff and great to see you back out there. I like your tempered skepticism and open-mindedness. Beautiful country up there as well. Thanks for taking us along.. Please keep them coming.. Good to see the subject explored without everything being a concrete sign of the creature.
Thanks a lot man. Appreciate that. Yeah you gotta rule out SO many other probabilities before declaring it Sasquatch evidence
Wow, it’s so beautiful!
Outstanding video! Thank you for all of your experience.
Thank you for watching!
The whistling is a dead giveaway that they are there , close and more than one of them. You hear the whistling, they will wait you out, but eventually one will explore your camp. I have had that exact scenario repeat itself several times.
You should check out the Mckenzie river valley in oregon.
