I saw it too! The two of them working together for the interview was great. Les is as credible as it gets imo. He hid his experiences until he was no longer on a major network like discovery or whatever bc they was not having it, and it changed him the way that an encounter changes you so now he’s doing this series and digging into it on his own. I’ll be watching them for sure. (I’ve never saw BF, but I have had an interaction with a furious ghost or demon and it really opened my mind and made me believe that there are things out there that actually exist even tho the mainstream media and science says that they do not. The only way to believe fully is to look for something and try to find it yourself)
Les you saved my hide a couple of times. I was building a small one room KOA, log cabin up in ski country, Okanogan county, Washington State, USA. Isolated and alone for a couple of years, starting a small generator to watch your survival episodes, I was able to think if he can do it I can do it with more than he had. A incredibile morale booster in dark times like Winter... Bigfoot had to be nearby, a perfect location, a string of power lines a couple of miles above me...
Lol, I've been living in okanogan county off grid in the mountains for 25 years now. We were snowed in a couple of winters ago for 5 months. So I can relate.
Sabe = honesty, makes sense. When you are in telepathic communication, you know what's in their mind, and they know yours. No lies can be told, hence honesty.
Loved seeing you on Bob's channel. The interview was one of the most chill videos I've seen in a while. I felt so content/relaxed watching it. Thanks to both of you. It turned out really well.
New less Stroud content is very exciting for me. I’m a fan of Les and a believer. I just got back from a vacation in and around Forks Washington. We went to a place called the hall of mosses. It’s the Squatchiest place I have ever experienced. The entire area is all about Bigfoot. Every coffee shop, gas station, convenience, store, whatever has Bigfoot statues out front, Sasquatch merchandise of every description, and the vibe is strong.
Les I've been watching you since I was a child. I'm 31 now. You are the reason I love the woods. If it wasn't for you I don't think I would have ever gone out into the wild. I spent my youth in the forest, instead of playing video games inside. Your voice always helped me sleep as a kid watching your show. You are an absolute legend and make me proud to be a Canadian🍁
I sure loved these when they were on TV, but much better now that it's on TH-cam -- then you can pause it, rewind, think about something, then continue. And, the Director's Commentaries RAISE THE BAR on these, because we get to hear what Les is thinking then and what he is thinking now, even giving us insights that he didn't have then. These DC's are precious content.
I'm in my seventh decade. I knew Andy Russell, certainly one of the greatest guides, authours & conservationists in the history of the Canadian Rockies & he never, not to my knowledge, expressed a belief in Sasquatch. But that's not to say strange things don't happen in the wilderness. Or might exist. We've all experienced the unexplainable. I can point to Jimmy Simpson (1877-1972), another of Canada's great Rocky Mountain guides & explorers. He had a mysterious, unexplained experience west of Banff, Alberta, long before the advent of radio & electrical communications. And Jimmy went on the record. As for myself. I've experienced enough "out & beyond" to be of an open mind. So go for it. I'm watching. - George K, UE, CD, Trail's End Studio, Fort Macleod, AB.
I’ve been watching you since I was 6 always love your content really happy your still going on TH-cam I think I’ve watched every directors commentary 3 times lol
Yep, you're not the only one. I really like hearing his thoughts now (after much time has passed) so that he can gain insights that he didn't have at that time.
The way Les approaches this is the way we need. With the abundance of genuine U.F.O footage thats been revealed over the past few years, i think itsnlong past ol Bigfoots time to shine
Thanks! This series changed my mindset when im in the wilderness. As a swede, i don't think they exist over here. But, over 30 years fishing and hunting mostly alone there have been a few disturbances in the otherwise friendly mountain forests. Sounds, smell, stolen fish and hair standing on my arms. There is so much we don't know about nature.
Thanks Les! Donated to your kick starter with a couple of upgrades. Ive been watching you since i was a teenager as well. You always will be my number 1 survival man!
Idk if you read these, BUT, My wife and I have had several experiences (at different times) on the Cumberland River in KY. So much so that she doesn't go back fishing with me. Frankly, I don't blame her. Last time, we were in our boat on the river and a rock, that absolutely NO human can toss, came out of the woods and hit the water just feet from our boat. The waves it caused actually rocked our boat. We both looked at each other and without saying, we hurriedly left. Always heard tree knocks within moments from different locations, even metal banging. There is ABSOLUTELY no human in these woods to cause this. I would gladly tell ya where we experienced this. In private of coarse. I won't nothing from it. No recognition. Complete anonymity. I just feel confident you will have, at least, some answers if not a lot more questions.
Check out the Sasquatch Chronicles, man. That guy will gladly keep your story anonymous if you want. And he's a collector of stories like yours including his own experiences.
The exact same thing I was thinking being a teenager and I'm looking forward to watching him do what he did best. I wonder how many of us are out there. This guy was like an idol to me
There’s def a whole generation of us in this boat. With everything else going on the world right now, the time for this is now. Thanks Les. We’re ready for the truth. God speed good Sir.
Thank you for pumping out these commentary episodes they have been a real gift! I hope there are many other people like me who are looking forward to getting together some holiday money and contributing to your Kickstarter campaign for your next film!

Cool, as a Norwegian I love Helle knife. Big fan of the Temagami. I spend a lot of days and nights in the wild. In forest and Hardangervidda. Enjoy your show. Merry Christmas 🫡
I grew up watching survivorman with my dad. I now watch it with my kids. My kids and I love the bigfoot content! Thanks Les for all the great info and memories!
Thank you Sir for your contribution to this subject matter. It means a great deal to me personally. My first encounter with the Sabe was when I was 12 years old, camping out of Jedidiah Smith Redwoods State Park. What I saw could only be compared to Chewbacca from Star Wars to my young mind, but even then I knew what I saw looking at me wasn’t normal. I grew up watching Animal Planet and Steve Erwin, rest his golden soul. So, I had a passion in my youth for all of nature’s critters and knew the local wildlife well. I knew what I had seen wasn’t normal and you never really go back once you reach that place. Over the years since then, I’ve had many experiences here in the Pacific Northwest where I live; to the extent that I know for a fact that these beings exist and have zero doubts. Like you, I know they are not merely an animal, but rather a form of tribal people with incredible, mind bending skills, akin to the Shaman and Yogis of old. The world may not be ready to hear any of this, but there are also other beings out there that folks wouldn’t believe, such as the dogman. I have photographs of both in close proximity to a large asterisk shaped structure made out of redwood branches. There were at least four individuals all looking at me from the background of that picture, yet at the time I had no idea they were sitting there. Two of them were within 15 feet of me, one of them being a massive dogman, who is close enough to the camera to see his facial features. In said image, his eyes and several other trademark canid features can be seen, such as a hairline down the center of his snout, muscular structures around the ocular cavities, and a canid nose which looks to be about the size of my face. His ears are massive and have what appears to be tufts of whitish-grey fur that extends above the apex of the ears, which make them appear extremely tall and pointed. He has the same colored fuzz inside the ear, like what you’d see on a gray wolf. He also has camouflage on his ears; black striping on the corners, that makes them appear, at first glance, like they are branches from an overhanging tree. The same black striping comes up the bottom of his chin and meets under his nose. This is one reason I think the brain just struggles to comprehend what you’re seeing and instead sees a tree trunk, a wall of brush, or a protruding rock face. It also helps them that seem to know exactly where to stand to take advantage of light refraction in the environment to further break up their outline. They will also belly crawl to remain concealed, so heads up on that. One reason I suspect I was able to get so close is because there was a creek running nearby and at a time of the year when there was a lot of water runoff from recent rainfall. I also approached the area from a different angle within the tree line of my yard. I was following a game trail down the creek, which skirts the tree line. The creek itself is also located within a riparian zone, so I don’t think they expected anyone to be where I was. My second presumption is that the sound of the water may have muffled my approach slightly. The one dogman especially, with his radar dish ears, must have had his head in the sink so to speak and didn’t hear me walk up. Over the years, I’ve seen them, been in proximity to all manner of bizarre activity, been scream/roared at by a being with an impossibly powerful, man-like voice that I could feel in my body, but could not see the origins of. I’ve also had objects thrown at me after wood knocking and on occasion have had pea sized pebbles thrown at me outside my home at night. I have also been hit with the wall of fight or flight that overwhelms so many people. The moment you realize they are there, whether consciously or subconsciously, your body will begin to react. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve nearly given up trying to speak on any of this. Though lately, it really does genuinely feel like a potential shift in the winds is coming. So, when you spoke to Bob recently about reaching the skeptics in a new way, I completely heard what you were saying. It’s not really about the proof, because it’s largely there already, it’s more about destroying the stigma around this topic; which is what really needs to happen. I truly hope you succeed, because the world needs to open its eyes on this, for many reasons. I also don’t have any real straight answers myself about what they truly are, what they do or why, where they go, or how they live; all which I’d be very interested in learning about. Thank you again Sir, for sticking your neck out on this, I know this is not always a publicly favored subject matter. Just be careful with these beings; I believe they can sense our intentions with great clarity and may know right off the bat what you’re trying to do.
@ I have some of the photos up on my channel already and tried my best to analyze the anomalies in them. While the, “dogman,” I mentioned in my previous comment is not talked about in the video, he’s still there in the background; I didn’t talk about it because I had not noticed him there before posting it. He is still visible though at the 30:12 minute mark of said video, on the right hand side of the frame between two redwood trees that come together in a, “V” shape. The video is called, “The Reality of Sasquatch in the Pacific Northwest.” I’ve only got three videos on my channel so it shouldn’t be hard to find. I’m not a professional presenter, so I did what I could and there are probably some oversights. The dogman in question is peeking at me from between those two trees, which form a sort of slot window, on the other side of which is a large open cavity in the brush. Because he’s sitting right up against a tree line, there is sunlight hitting one side of his muzzle, his ear and the back of his head. I fully intended to do a follow up video specifically discussing this dogman, so that everyone can see the same details I can see up close and how I’m so certain of what I’m looking at. The reason I haven’t done this already? After seeing this dogman in particular, I was honestly quite disturbed and felt like I needed to take a step back. It was right there when I took that picture and I had no idea it was there. It could have done anything to me it wanted, I couldn’t have done a thing about it, and no one would had a single clue what happened to me. A second reason is that I really don’t want spotlight; I prefer to live a quiet, slower paced lifestyle. I’m also well aware of how people generally respond to this topic and don’t find the associated denigration very attractive. Regardless, I do have something in the works, because I believe that people deserve to know.
@Survivorman, I loved SurvivorMan! & especially the Bigfoot episodes! Was hungry for more & really sad to see the episodes ended at 10. I’ve camped through the years & we grew up in my early years on a Farm in AZ . We used to sleep outside on hot summer nights telling spooky old stories about the SW region & the Superstition Mountains & the lost Dutchman Mine & all the other stories too. Those were my favorite nights ever! I got a vicarious thrill from watching you hike around these wild places everywhere & sleep in the wild with very little in the way of gear. You’re made of Platinum & Titanium Les! With cojones of Kryptonite! I’ll toss some $ in the pot to keep the excitement & legend of Bigfoot coming to reality. I’d be honored to! Thank you so much for the years you’ve shared of wilderness survival training with us & the absolute Beauty of our wild planet (no matter what shape it is :@). ❤️ & Blessings to you & your family. PS I love the behind the scenes shows of narrative of those experiences & explorations & I usually never enjoy that sort of thing. LOL
Great stuff as always! Cant wait to see your new bigfoot program and survivorman series! I'll contribute to kickstarter if I still have the budget once Christmas presents have all been purchased.
Les I really love everything you do. You’ve been a personal hero of mine ever since I was a kid watching Survivorman with my father. It’s one of the only things we ever really got to bond over, so thank you for that.
Rig an entirely manual, 35mm camera triggered from a manual switch or pull string. No electronics. Yah, it'd be finicky, and expensive; but... it'd cool if nothing else. Catch some cool footage. And no electronic signature, if that is, indeed, an issue. I am almost thinking about doing this just for fun, have to check out some of my old cameras see if I can figure it out.
It seems this subject keeps coming up and is very popular. I have to say Les you are the man to prove or disprove the BigFoot saga. I speak for many. We Trust you for the Truth and the facts. All of your outings are top notch from capture to Edit and narrate. Thanks
Always admired Les because he is real I bought as many DVDs of his one man servival education as I could find, I remember being young I figuring out how to char punk wood and cloth on my own in the 80s I always liked learning survival skills when I found Les on TV I never missed an episode
Im glad somebody that I respect and trust is involved in this subject matter because ive been interested in this subject for a long time. And I want to tune in to someone I know isn't going to give me a load of bs. Based off all the video footage, testimonies, and evidence ive gathered over the past 10 years, I know they're out there. But we need to hear from people that are authentic, and are just as much interested in the subject as people like myself. Survivorman is one of those guys, so thank you for coming out with the new documentary you plan on filming.
Great way to spend a Friday night. SM: Bigfoot remains one of my favorite series and excellently shows how "high strangeness" permeates this phenomenon
I'm double dipping here and leaving a second comment because I forgot to say in the first one that I am playing the lottery and Powerball with a passion because if I could even win a shared grand prize I will be the guy to donate enough to the Kickstarter campaign to go out on an expedition with my survival hero Les Stroud!!
i got in on the kickstarter a few weeks ago as a gift to myself that i wanted but didn't need, the rewards for donating are awesome, i'm going to frame the signed poster
Thanks again, Les! I love the fact that you're like me, I have had experiences as well and have taken a photo of one crossing the tracks about 60 miles south of Moosonee in 2008! But until I see one clearly then whether they exist or not is still the question!
I had my encounter 49 years ago. Up on the Klamath River in California on the yurok reservation. While walking up a logging road Sasquatch came charging at us through the forest and scared the hell out of us my uncle and my dad who were fishing found us buried under all the camping gear in the camper.
Ill support the kickstarter for this for sure! A man of your standing in the wilderness and nature community looking into this phenomenon brings some credibility to this topic. From Snowshoes and Solitude to The Question of Bigfoot, youre an inspiration Les. A Snowshoes and Solitude type experience has always been a dream of mine. Its so hard to escape the rat race and do something like that for a year. But a man can dream. Thanks Les!
Would love to go out with Les one day. Maybe it’ll happen in the near future! Always loved Survivorman. Arguably the best show Discovery ever had. Merry Christmas!
Adding to your questions in the intro... how much does our governments know? Been with you since early early survivorman days, from one avid outdoorsman to another i say thank you for all you have done and STILL DO. Will help out anyway i can.
I really enjoy watching your Bigfoot videos. I highly recommend and share your videos for educational purposes on my own page. Keep up the great work and Merry Christmas Les.
Here's the thing Les, you can do all these tricks, find tracks, even get big foot on film, and you still may not, probably won't, prove it to the world. Have DNA, and not prove it to the world. But, you can prove it to yourself. I'm just glad you're out in the woods making films. And big foot, is fun. Anyone twisting up in knots about it, is missing the point. I wouldn't want to live in a world with no mystery. How boring that would be. But if you filmed it, I actually trust you. And that would do it for me. I've never seen a Bigfoot. But I've some really....really strange things in the sky. Before drones. And I live in East Kentucky. I've been face to face with an animal they say doesn't exist. A black panther. Face to face. It was hanging out with my dog like they were best friends. A week later, a friend who laughed at me came by at sunrise. It walks right of out the hill right in front of us and Lyes down, hanging out with my house cat. I'll get it on camera one day. And you know what. Don't care if anyone believes it. I'm just grateful to have experienced it. I couldn't believe what I was looking at. All my life there were times when It could have been, it looked like it. But at a distance. That day, I was exactly 16 feet, away from it. And my dog was sitting side by side with it. I think my dog, I taught it to be kind to cats. I think it had been sharing it's food with it while it grew. And they hunted rabbits together. They were friends. But I don't know which look was probably more priceless. Mine or the cats. My dog just sit there like, he's cool. Chill. Hahahaha miss that dog. Had to come back and add, it actually inspires me, that someone like you, and don't take this wrong, deals with trolls. You showed me everyone does. And you showed me how to deal with it. Don't take that wrong. You helped me.
I have been a faithful follower of all your shows over the years and they are wonderfully entertaining. I do look forward to even more of the Survivorman Bigfoot series in the future. I love the scenery and that you present a show without foul language like some of the other adventure shows. Particularly Expedition Bigfoot and its foul language PHD woman who utters "wtf was that" 20 to 30 times a show, along with all the others doing the same.
One thing I know, Les doesn't lie to us. Been watching since the beginning, kept me from being bear food one time. God bless you all, it's getting strange out there Frens. 🍻🇺🇲
With the wider availability of drones, I'm hoping we can get a handful of people to pilot some, with infrared cameras (like the police use to track suspects in wooded areas), and you could survey a large area of land and hopefully turn up something... Surely you'd be able to find atleast one that way?? 😆
Yo Les, At about the 37:00 mark you talk about 'Reality TV' and it's association to the Bigfoot community. I totally AGREE that 'Reality TV' killed this topic in MANY ways. Reality TV is a Production Format designed for Television. This very same TV Format created the Cult Of Personality that we in this Country, just hired to run the White House. It's amazing that the Ojibwa use the same seven animals in their Teachings as well. I'm very glad your still willing to put together one last Coda to the Phenomena and have allowed us to be included in this Production. Thanks for the Directors Post.
I had a weird experience at Current Creek in UT. It’s near the Uintas, east of Strawberry Reservoir. My friend and I were fly fishing the creek. The brush was just high enough that I couldn’t see over it, so visibility was low despite the area looking desolate from the highway. We were fishing that stretch alone all day, but we heard something crash into the creek near us in the afternoon. It was so loud we couldn’t tell which direction it came from. We didn’t hear any approach (or retreat) whatsoever. We weren’t quiet, which surprised me that such a large animal would come near us. I remember being nervous about which direction to move to avoid a confrontation. I assumed it was a bear or a moose, but they generally avoid people, so I’ve never been sure. That incident has always puzzled me.
To add, we heard no grunts or animal noises, just the huge crash into the water and then complete silence. It was so strange. After diving into this Bigfoot rabbit hole, I noticed it fits their pattern of behavior, so I wonder if that was it.
I saw you on bob gymlan yesterday bud. Very glad you are back at it and will support as much as i can.
That was a good watch.

Seems like ya go kinda mad , being snowed in for that long of a time . But what do I know.
Those power lines make spooky noises in the winter, especially up in those woods
Sasquatch must be a spirit anomaly? Very excited to watch your series.
Here from Bob Gymlan, great work Les, thanks for all your wisdom, effort & genuine open mindedness!
Sabe = honesty, makes sense. When you are in telepathic communication, you know what's in their mind, and they know yours. No lies can be told, hence honesty.
So, what do you think this magical creature is?
Telepathy? You don’t even have Bigfoot evidence but you know they use telepathy?
Really enjoyed this video. I also loved your interview with Bob Gymlan. Especially getting the full insight on the shadow in the Romanian wilderness.
Loved your interview with Bob Gymlan!! Best wishes on the new project and would love to see more collabs with Bob someday!!

I knew what I had seen wasn’t normal and you never really go back once you reach that place. Over the years since then, I’ve had many experiences here in the Pacific Northwest where I live; to the extent that I know for a fact that these beings exist and have zero doubts. Like you, I know they are not merely an animal, but rather a form of tribal people with incredible, mind bending skills, akin to the Shaman and Yogis of old. The world may not be ready to hear any of this, but there are also other beings out there that folks wouldn’t believe, such as the dogman.
I have photographs of both in close proximity to a large asterisk shaped structure made out of redwood branches. There were at least four individuals all looking at me from the background of that picture, yet at the time I had no idea they were sitting there. Two of them were within 15 feet of me, one of them being a massive dogman, who is close enough to the camera to see his facial features. In said image, his eyes and several other trademark canid features can be seen, such as a hairline down the center of his snout, muscular structures around the ocular cavities, and a canid nose which looks to be about the size of my face. His ears are massive and have what appears to be tufts of whitish-grey fur that extends above the apex of the ears, which make them appear extremely tall and pointed. He has the same colored fuzz inside the ear, like what you’d see on a gray wolf. He also has camouflage on his ears; black striping on the corners, that makes them appear, at first glance, like they are branches from an overhanging tree. The same black striping comes up the bottom of his chin and meets under his nose. This is one reason I think the brain just struggles to comprehend what you’re seeing and instead sees a tree trunk, a wall of brush, or a protruding rock face. It also helps them that seem to know exactly where to stand to take advantage of light refraction in the environment to further break up their outline.
They will also belly crawl to remain concealed, so heads up on that. One reason I suspect I was able to get so close is because there was a creek running nearby and at a time of the year when there was a lot of water runoff from recent rainfall. I also approached the area from a different angle within the tree line of my yard. I was following a game trail down the creek, which skirts the tree line. The creek itself is also located within a riparian zone, so I don’t think they expected anyone to be where I was. My second presumption is that the sound of the water may have muffled my approach slightly. The one dogman especially, with his radar dish ears, must have had his head in the sink so to speak and didn’t hear me walk up.
Over the years, I’ve seen them, been in proximity to all manner of bizarre activity, been scream/roared at by a being with an impossibly powerful, man-like voice that I could feel in my body, but could not see the origins of. I’ve also had objects thrown at me after wood knocking and on occasion have had pea sized pebbles thrown at me outside my home at night. I have also been hit with the wall of fight or flight that overwhelms so many people. The moment you realize they are there, whether consciously or subconsciously, your body will begin to react.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve nearly given up trying to speak on any of this. Though lately, it really does genuinely feel like a potential shift in the winds is coming. So, when you spoke to Bob recently about reaching the skeptics in a new way, I completely heard what you were saying. It’s not really about the proof, because it’s largely there already, it’s more about destroying the stigma around this topic; which is what really needs to happen. I truly hope you succeed, because the world needs to open its eyes on this, for many reasons. I also don’t have any real straight answers myself about what they truly are, what they do or why, where they go, or how they live; all which I’d be very interested in learning about. Thank you again Sir, for sticking your neck out on this, I know this is not always a publicly favored subject matter. Just be careful with these beings; I believe they can sense our intentions with great clarity and may know right off the bat what you’re trying to do.
Can I ask why you don’t make these pictures publicly available?
@ I have some of the photos up on my channel already and tried my best to analyze the anomalies in them. While the, “dogman,” I mentioned in my previous comment is not talked about in the video, he’s still there in the background; I didn’t talk about it because I had not noticed him there before posting it. He is still visible though at the 30:12 minute mark of said video, on the right hand side of the frame between two redwood trees that come together in a, “V” shape. The video is called, “The Reality of Sasquatch in the Pacific Northwest.” I’ve only got three videos on my channel so it shouldn’t be hard to find. I’m not a professional presenter, so I did what I could and there are probably some oversights.
The dogman in question is peeking at me from between those two trees, which form a sort of slot window, on the other side of which is a large open cavity in the brush. Because he’s sitting right up against a tree line, there is sunlight hitting one side of his muzzle, his ear and the back of his head.
I fully intended to do a follow up video specifically discussing this dogman, so that everyone can see the same details I can see up close and how I’m so certain of what I’m looking at. The reason I haven’t done this already? After seeing this dogman in particular, I was honestly quite disturbed and felt like I needed to take a step back. It was right there when I took that picture and I had no idea it was there. It could have done anything to me it wanted, I couldn’t have done a thing about it, and no one would had a single clue what happened to me. A second reason is that I really don’t want spotlight; I prefer to live a quiet, slower paced lifestyle. I’m also well aware of how people generally respond to this topic and don’t find the associated denigration very attractive. Regardless, I do have something in the works, because I believe that people deserve to know.
What a treat for you to share this with us, feels like a hangout session. Thanks and merry Christmas
This is really cool, I'm baffled by how you haven't hit 1m subs yet, I will share your channel.
Merry Christmas! Been loving these lately
@Survivorman, I loved SurvivorMan! & especially the Bigfoot episodes! Was hungry for more & really sad to see the episodes ended at 10. I’ve camped through the years & we grew up in my early years on a Farm in AZ . We used to sleep outside on hot summer nights telling spooky old stories about the SW region & the Superstition Mountains & the lost Dutchman Mine & all the other stories too. Those were my favorite nights ever! I got a vicarious thrill from watching you hike around these wild places everywhere & sleep in the wild with very little in the way of gear. You’re made of Platinum & Titanium Les! With cojones of Kryptonite! I’ll toss some $ in the pot to keep the excitement & legend of Bigfoot coming to reality. I’d be honored to! Thank you so much for the years you’ve shared of wilderness survival training with us & the absolute Beauty of our wild planet (no matter what shape it is :@). ❤️ & Blessings to you & your family.
PS I love the behind the scenes shows of narrative of those experiences & explorations & I usually never enjoy that sort of thing. LOL
Great stuff as always! Cant wait to see your new bigfoot program and survivorman series! I'll contribute to kickstarter if I still have the budget once Christmas presents have all been purchased.
Thanks!
Thank you for doing this Les!!❤👣
Les I really love everything you do. You’ve been a personal hero of mine ever since I was a kid watching Survivorman with my father. It’s one of the only things we ever really got to bond over, so thank you for that.
That is one hell of a horrible username you have there my friend.
I live in that part of Texas was fun to see my area represented. The legend definitely is persistent around here
Excellent Les! Thank you so much!
Love you Les!! Look forward to the documentary. Loved the Bob Gymlan visit!!
Oh my God I used to watch your show all the freaking time,!
It is so nice to see you again 😁❤️
Rig an entirely manual, 35mm camera triggered from a manual switch or pull string. No electronics. Yah, it'd be finicky, and expensive; but... it'd cool if nothing else. Catch some cool footage. And no electronic signature, if that is, indeed, an issue. I am almost thinking about doing this just for fun, have to check out some of my old cameras see if I can figure it out.
Les Stroud you're an Absolute Legend. If the video is free to watch on TH-cam, I'm all in.😎👍💯
It seems this subject keeps coming up and is very popular. I have to say Les you are the man to prove or disprove the BigFoot saga. I speak for many. We Trust you for the Truth and the facts. All of your outings are top notch from capture to Edit and narrate. Thanks
Love your Santa hat - and love these Director's Commentary!!!
I love these commentary episodes especially these ones I haven’t seen in years
Epic Les! The only real one. Will support the Kickstarter 🤘🔥🔥👣
Best survival show hands down Merry Christmas dude 😎
The real, the only Les Stroud
I can't wait for the question of Bigfoot this is an amazing series
Always admired Les because he is real I bought as many DVDs of his one man servival education as I could find, I remember being young I figuring out how to char punk wood and cloth on my own in the 80s I always liked learning survival skills when I found Les on TV I never missed an episode
Thanks for the holiday episode drop! You’re a true artist Les
Yes thank you Les been hanging for your content 🙏
Im glad somebody that I respect and trust is involved in this subject matter because ive been interested in this subject for a long time. And I want to tune in to someone I know isn't going to give me a load of bs. Based off all the video footage, testimonies, and evidence ive gathered over the past 10 years, I know they're out there. But we need to hear from people that are authentic, and are just as much interested in the subject as people like myself. Survivorman is one of those guys, so thank you for coming out with the new documentary you plan on filming.
lol
I have been waiting for another video on bigfoot! I am excited and its a hell of a way to kick off my Christmas vacation. I am a big fan Les!!!
Great way to spend a Friday night. SM: Bigfoot remains one of my favorite series and excellently shows how "high strangeness" permeates this phenomenon
Les has encouraged me to begin wild foraging back in 2022. Much love from Missouri ❤
I’m so excited for the new documentary! I joined the kickstarter too!
Thanks again for all you do Les. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Les you’re the best!
I'm double dipping here and leaving a second comment because I forgot to say in the first one that I am playing the lottery and Powerball with a passion because if I could even win a shared grand prize I will be the guy to donate enough to the Kickstarter campaign to go out on an expedition with my survival hero Les Stroud!!
thanks Les, merry Christmas and looking forward to seeing/hearing you in 2025 ...🐻
i got in on the kickstarter a few weeks ago as a gift to myself that i wanted but didn't need, the rewards for donating are awesome, i'm going to frame the signed poster
Great, merry Christmas. Good timing.
You’re the man Les! My girls love you.
One of the 1st and best content creators on TH-cam. Really appreciate your work sir.
Been a fan, from your beginning. Keeping up with you from Arizona.
Thanks again, Les! I love the fact that you're like me, I have had experiences as well and have taken a photo of one crossing the tracks about 60 miles south of Moosonee in 2008! But until I see one clearly then whether they exist or not is still the question!
I had my encounter 49 years ago. Up on the Klamath River in California on the yurok reservation. While walking up a logging road Sasquatch came charging at us through the forest and scared the hell out of us my uncle and my dad who were fishing found us buried under all the camping gear in the camper.
Did you see them?
Les Stroud you're a gift. God bless
Ill support the kickstarter for this for sure! A man of your standing in the wilderness and nature community looking into this phenomenon brings some credibility to this topic. From Snowshoes and Solitude to The Question of Bigfoot, youre an inspiration Les. A Snowshoes and Solitude type experience has always been a dream of mine. Its so hard to escape the rat race and do something like that for a year. But a man can dream. Thanks Les!
I just joined the kickstarter and just the other day there were only 750 backers...now there's over 1200 and almost a quarter million bucks! Let's go!
Loving these commentaries. Really enjoyed seeing you on Bob Gymlan!
Been watching your content since I was a kid. Very excited for what you have for us next year. Stay safe out there!
Would love to go out with Les one day. Maybe it’ll happen in the near future! Always loved Survivorman. Arguably the best show Discovery ever had. Merry Christmas!
Love your videos, hope you and the family have a Merry Christmas.
congrats on your fundraising for your new documentary. can't wait
Merry Christmas Les and fans of Survivor Man and Bigfoot the world over 🥰
A lot of fans here, mr. Stroud❤ Keep going, you are an LEGEND
Yes!!! I’m soo excited for this upcoming project! 💪 BF IS REAL!
Adding to your questions in the intro... how much does our governments know? Been with you since early early survivorman days, from one avid outdoorsman to another i say thank you for all you have done and STILL DO. Will help out anyway i can.
Either way, real or unreal they sure know a lot more than us.
Merry Christmas Les and happy trails next year.
Best Santa ever 🎅🏻🎄Merry Christmas Les & Family, from our Tennessee Family
Hi Les, I enjoyed the commentary during this episode. Thank you
I really enjoy watching your Bigfoot videos. I highly recommend and share your videos for educational purposes on my own page. Keep up the great work and Merry Christmas Les.
Here's the thing Les, you can do all these tricks, find tracks, even get big foot on film, and you still may not, probably won't, prove it to the world. Have DNA, and not prove it to the world. But, you can prove it to yourself. I'm just glad you're out in the woods making films. And big foot, is fun. Anyone twisting up in knots about it, is missing the point. I wouldn't want to live in a world with no mystery. How boring that would be. But if you filmed it, I actually trust you. And that would do it for me. I've never seen a Bigfoot. But I've some really....really strange things in the sky. Before drones. And I live in East Kentucky. I've been face to face with an animal they say doesn't exist. A black panther. Face to face. It was hanging out with my dog like they were best friends. A week later, a friend who laughed at me came by at sunrise. It walks right of out the hill right in front of us and Lyes down, hanging out with my house cat. I'll get it on camera one day. And you know what. Don't care if anyone believes it. I'm just grateful to have experienced it. I couldn't believe what I was looking at. All my life there were times when It could have been, it looked like it. But at a distance. That day, I was exactly 16 feet, away from it. And my dog was sitting side by side with it. I think my dog, I taught it to be kind to cats. I think it had been sharing it's food with it while it grew. And they hunted rabbits together. They were friends. But I don't know which look was probably more priceless. Mine or the cats. My dog just sit there like, he's cool. Chill. Hahahaha miss that dog. Had to come back and add, it actually inspires me, that someone like you, and don't take this wrong, deals with trolls. You showed me everyone does. And you showed me how to deal with it. Don't take that wrong. You helped me.
No.
@@thetavibes9021 I can just throw out random words for no reason also. Shiatsu..... Elkatawa...... Naracacist..... Hahahahaha 😂😂😂
You do great work with filming and explaining situations. Thank you for all the work you do.
I have been a faithful follower of all your shows over the years and they are wonderfully entertaining. I do look forward to even more of the Survivorman Bigfoot series in the future. I love the scenery and that you present a show without foul language like some of the other adventure shows. Particularly Expedition Bigfoot and its foul language PHD woman who utters "wtf was that" 20 to 30 times a show, along with all the others doing the same.
Merry Christmas Les🎄God bless from Norway🇺🇸🇳🇴
One thing I know, Les doesn't lie to us. Been watching since the beginning, kept me from being bear food one time. God bless you all, it's getting strange out there Frens. 🍻🇺🇲
New les bf video. Hell yes! Can't wait for the new documentary to come out
With the wider availability of drones, I'm hoping we can get a handful of people to pilot some, with infrared cameras (like the police use to track suspects in wooded areas), and you could survey a large area of land and hopefully turn up something...
Surely you'd be able to find atleast one that way?? 😆
They can see the infrared frequencies so, as expected, they don’t go near the cameras
Yo Les, At about the 37:00 mark you talk about 'Reality TV' and it's association to the Bigfoot community. I totally AGREE that 'Reality TV' killed this topic in MANY ways. Reality TV is a Production Format designed for Television. This very same TV Format created the Cult Of Personality that we in this Country, just hired to run the White House. It's amazing that the Ojibwa use the same seven animals in their Teachings as well. I'm very glad your still willing to put together one last Coda to the Phenomena and have allowed us to be included in this Production. Thanks for the Directors Post.
I had a weird experience at Current Creek in UT. It’s near the Uintas, east of Strawberry Reservoir. My friend and I were fly fishing the creek. The brush was just high enough that I couldn’t see over it, so visibility was low despite the area looking desolate from the highway. We were fishing that stretch alone all day, but we heard something crash into the creek near us in the afternoon. It was so loud we couldn’t tell which direction it came from. We didn’t hear any approach (or retreat) whatsoever. We weren’t quiet, which surprised me that such a large animal would come near us. I remember being nervous about which direction to move to avoid a confrontation. I assumed it was a bear or a moose, but they generally avoid people, so I’ve never been sure. That incident has always puzzled me.
To add, we heard no grunts or animal noises, just the huge crash into the water and then complete silence. It was so strange. After diving into this Bigfoot rabbit hole, I noticed it fits their pattern of behavior, so I wonder if that was it.
Merry Xmas 🎅 from Scotland 🏴 you are simply a legend brother 🏴💙✌️GTC
