Use to pick up hitchhikers 17 at the time. Picked up young white couple on highway headed home. The minute they got into my car my spider senses told me huge mistake. The man got in the back of my VW bug & the woman sat in the front seat. I immediately pulled over before my exit to home & told them they had to get out. The woman looked apprehensive & looked to the man for direction. I immediately looked at him & firmly stated command to get out. At that point I had decided if they forced me to drive I would ram car into sound barrier. No way would I allow myself to surrender. He had an evil smirk on his face & sized me up. For whatever his reasoning he nodded to woman to get out . No words were spoken between them. Once he got out I sped away spinning my tires. I never picked anybody up after that
I had a very similar experience when I was a lifeguard on Cape Cod. I was hitchhiking and started to get into a VWBug. My sixth sense went into high alert, and i backed out of the back seat quickly. The driver became furious, and my friend and I ran towards a store. I think my gut feeling saved our lives.
Wow. I was NOT expecting the twists in this story. I really love listening to you. I'm a 62 yr old woman. My house burned down in February and then the trailer I was in blew up. ( was on a recall) Living in this hotel has been so depressing. But, listening to you has helped me get through all of this. Keep up the great stories.

This lady would do good by sharing her story with school age youngsters. Even though there are many programs, like this one, and movies, personal accounts hit home. Especially for females! She’s a survivor, thank God!
So glad Sherry made it out of that nightmare, and that she became a social worker. The truck driver was meant to be there at that moment, and he did save her life, absolutely. Thank you, Bryan, for telling Sherry’s story. This will help many young people out there.
Thank you for what you do, and for Sherri, my cousin went through something similar. and never wanted to come forward. but when she did, she began to heal
My ex-wife was drugged and assaulted too. It’s sickeningly common. The kidnapping aspect is an even scarier and darker layer. My friend, a 6’ 7” guy, got his cup switched with his girlfriend’s cup one time while out and it was drugged. He could not move, but was awake. Imagine what a dose that large would have done to the girl. Again, this stuff happens so regularly.
Yes it does and it pisses me off to, and there's 2 main culprits, #1 increasingly activists certain ideologically aligned DA's and courts routinely letting rapists pedophiles and etc. off with 2-4 years over and over again non stop instead of execution or bare minimum life in prison or a psych ward, and #2 women traveling alone to 3rd world places or heck even 1st world hitchhiking alone is absolutely absurd, false empowerment is a dangerous thing. I get its not just that but no one will convince me if these 2 in particular could be worked on cases would go down a ton at least.
Someone tried to drug me once, but thankfully at the time I didn't really drink alcohol so I only took a few sips of my drink that night. But I felt "off" for hours and ended up sleeping over my friend's house because I didn't feel safe to drive. Later as I got more experienced drinking I realized that I wasn't drunk that night -- what I felt wasn't "drunk" and there's no way half a Jack and Coke would make me drunk for hours anyway.
People drug drinks at bars. Always get a cup with a lid to prevent something being popped into your cup while looking away, or better yet, don’t drink around randos lol
As a woman who is an older gen X and who hitchhiked and camped alone I believe her story. I always had a large dog with me though. I don’t camp much anymore but when I travel around the US I take my dog with me. It’s the best security system.
Well there’s always my menopausal rage, but seriously the same can be said about guns. Dogs tend to be a deterrent. It’s sad but unfortunately women aren’t safe traveling alone in this country.
I used to hitchhike when i was younger in Australia, yes very dangerous, and i was the same only means to get around, i had a few near misses, but i always went on my gut feeling i stopped hitching at the age 18yrs , i prefered being independant from others. Im also skeptical about picking up hitchhikers as well , you might pick up the wrong person . Thank you for all that you do . Thank you this confirms i did the right thing by staying at my job and getting my own wheels to get around at that age ❤
Stories like this make me furious and feel sick. So, I can’t imagine what it feels like for the victim. I’ve always felt this crime is just as bad as murder. It’s such a violation. Always trust your gut.
Hey Bryan. Thank you for keeping the memory alive of those who can’t be here themselves. It really helps people. I still have a mate missing to this day.
Thank you, I'm sorry to hear about your friend missing. Where did they go missing? Maybe I can help and do a video, anything I can do I will. I'm so sorry about your friend but hopefully we can find them🙏🙏
I could tell a story of my own here, but i wont. You’re right. It happens to so many women that dont report. If you sense something wrong believe what you’re body is telling you
Thank you for bringing us this cautionary account. I honestly believe Sherry was being protected by a higher power to fulfill her destiny. I'm certain that through her work, she has had an impact on her clients and their lives. I'm thankful she made out out and has been able to tell her story.

I did foolish things like that in my early twenties. It’s a miracle I was never harmed. Just dumb luck. When I think back on those times now, I’m horrified. What was I thinking?! When I relate them to my husband, he just shakes his head. He knows how lucky I was in each instance. I always carry a pistol now. Times have changed, and not for the better…
I dont understand how come some girls decide to go out camping alone in the woods, without nothing to protect themselves: This girl did not even know where she was. Three people warned her and yet she took a drink from stranger that she felt odd. I am glad that she got lucky and escaped, her dead parents must have protected her.

Finally a video with a good ending..I almost did not watch it being so tired of all these young ladies vanishing. And I am a big protector being raised by 7 wemon. Thanks for doing a video where someone survived.
I make my best friend call or text me when she travels to tell me where she is and landmarks, better yet, take a selfie also pics of surrounding and send them to me. If I don't hear from her then I can call authorities to show her last known area.
As a fairly big guy and weightlifter, I don’t camp or hike unarmed … I haven’t recently but have innumerable times in the past .. a cougar, bear or demented human drunk or otherwise .. I will not tolerate and recommend no woman doing so without expertise and possessing a firearm on their person .. I grew up with many firearms in the household as my father was a combat veteran and they were simply normal and we went shooting regularly even as young as 7 years old and it makes me feel good to have a decent firearm LOADED on my gun belt with safety engaged.. already chased away drunk campers who were shooting off their shotguns in the dark which is prime example of totally irresponsible and dangerous ppl .. one round in the air of my magnum round shut them up and they went away quickly.. they didn’t know where I was but I knew where they were .. a gun training course and firing off a few hundred rounds for practice and developing comfort with the handgun or rifle is all it takes .. it’s fun and any new type of gun takes some getting used to
It's hard to gauge what another person, or more, are really like initially. I get how people want to do things their way, on their own, but I'm totally against people traveling, hiking, or camping alone. A person's chances of becoming involved in a 'situation', not to their liking, greatly increases when there is not enough time to develop a definite trust. Nice message in your vid.
This story reminds me of the wicked serial killer Ivan Milat in Australia. Just listening to Sherry's story is terrifying ! 😢 The truck driver was sent by the divine spirit
It reminds me of an incident in montana in about 1989. Me and a friend were too young to drink but we stopped by a bar to see someone he knew. We pulled out of the parking lot to leave and a van was ahead of us leaving the same bar. We were only a few car lengths behind this van and it was night. The on coming traffic lit up the occupants and i was shocked at what i was seeing while my oblivious friend was laughing and talking about something else completely. What i saw was a hulk of a man in the driver side throwing massive blows into the side of the head of some female with a thin build. I just remember the 3-5 crashing blows as her head pinged off the window and her hair flew. She was being rag dolled in that seat. It was a sort of shock in slow motion as i lifted a finger to point at this but my friend is ignoring me or talking over me and just then the van takes the right exit onto i90. and we went straight. I never even got him to shut up long enough to tell him what just happened. I just kinda rode in silence for awhile. Eyes wide. It's not until i am older that i realize it wasn't just an abusive guy or a dispute, but i think this guy was trying to punch the life out of her. He was trying to kill her im sure now that i have perspective. I'd seen other brutal things at that age so i never really had a gauge for what was over kill. This incident has haunted me my whole life.
Thank you so much for sharing this story. Very lucky young person, and I'm so glad she made it out okay!!! I hope you never take it to heart if anyone calls you names. I was a hitchhiker and a vulnerable youngster and ran into a lot of trouble... you give great advice, so thank you!
You are a very good person, Bryan. Glacier Park, Montana! Gorgeous Park and fantastic tiny towns with great saloons. I was on the west side area but there is an east side area too. Met gold panners, mushroom pickers but never did try the pickled gizzards on the saloon counters.
Shes totally lucky to get out of that. I had a couple with verybad intentions take me up above a dam. A long argument between him and her out of ear shot that i could hear what they were saying. To out in the country a long ways from where we started. then they were arguing again but i could hear them. He didn't want to let me go but she did. She said shes a mother. We happened to have been paid that night. I had been working 16 hour days for months and had 400$ on me. From what i gather he wanted to rob me and dump me. But she didn't let it happen. I finally got back to my car. They quit working. I seen them camping a few months later behind a big rock walking trail. I kept on the trail when i came back through they packed up and were gone. They only worked a month at work. I think they lived in their van. They were a pretty couple i believe she had children somewhere close but i wouldn't know who or where. Its was one scary night i didn't get home till midmorning. I was scared.
only an immature person would call you names for not wanting to hitchhike. they were probably the kids in school that would tease you if you didn't want to do drugs. thank you for sharing the story with us. I am a very cautious person in my older years and would never do anything alone unless I had no choice. take care.
I agree never to hitchhike but i disagree with you on thinking the world is a good place. I think its a bad place with alot of bad people. There are just some good people mixed in. Then there are bad people that wear a mask and comeoff as a good person. So you never know.
I would say there are a few really bad people and a few really good people but there is a huge majority in the middle who can be easily influenced as they are weak.
Something along this line happened to me but with just a older man camping near to where I was. I won't get in nitty gritty but this was in the early 90's and I've camped out other times and hiked but after this ordeal it has been with someone i know. I never camped alone after this and it's a crying shame that someone who only wants to experience and explore things on their own can't anymore without being hurt or assaulted by someone who doesn't care about life or about anyone trying to live and enjoy this great planet in a pure form. He broke me that's for sure but never again!
Hey Bryan....someone mentioned below about Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka two Canadians (who met in 1987)....this is what they would do.... go around looking for young girls to kidnap, rape and kill. I would strongly urge you to mention them to this lady... Bernardo is still in jail but Homolka only got 12 years and has been out for years - she did a plea bargain but it was shown later that she lied and was a willing participant in it all. She should be in jail...She lives in Quebec(married with 3 kids) last I heard. Bernardo had been doing this for awhile before meeting Homolka (he could have had someone else who was willing to go along with this as well prior to Homolka...who knows). Would not hurt to mention it to this woman as being American she might not have heard about this case. It was well reported on in Canada years ago and lots of info on the internet about them now.
Friend of mine stopped in Wyoming near the reservation. He is 6 foot 2 and had a friend meet him at a local bar. He traveled on his job and his employer would cover food, drinks and room. He figured he could catch up on old times with his friend. He said he doesn't remember much. Said he woke up naked face down on motel floor with door wide open. His friend was passed out in hallway no where near his room. Oddly they both was drugged but neither was raped or got anything stolen from them. Only thing he remembers is his friend sitting down at his table when he met him there in bar.
Crazy. Sometimes a roofie meant for one person, usually a woman, ends up in the wrong person’s drink and some random dude that no one meant to roofie gets roofied. Scary AF.
im amazed at the number of people who watch these videos and feel it necessary to comment how they refuse to enter the woods for recreation because of some story they heard on the internet i also find it quite disturbing that people who refuse to enter the woods are actively searching and watching these sort of videos it makes no sense
Just bizarre how they crossed the border into Canada with a firearm and a tied up woman in their back seat...and they would have had to show passports for everyone. .something odd about this story
I'm glad Sherry ended up alive. Unfortunately, she did not listen to her instincts and get away from these two when she felt reservations about the guy. A woman hitchhiking alone is never safe. Many years ago I used to hitchhike alone sometimes. Unfortunately, I never experienced such a scary experience but I did have some close calls and stopped. Even when traveling in your vehicle, camping or hiking alone in isolated areas is a big risk. Sorry, but that's just the state of our world right now.
Glad she survived. someone who seems 'nice'. may be just running a game to cause someone to let their guard down. While there are millions of cool people out there, there are many who are not, they just pretend to be to get something they are not entitled to.
Not sure if they travelled out west of not but if they did I wouldn't be surprised. I think it was someone from the general area because they found a way across the international border and I'm pretty sure they didn't take a chance going through customs.
There are many un guarded roads and paths along the border but to pick one with a small chance of being detected might require local knowledge. Many of them have cameras and are under surveillance. Also there are Indian reserves that straddle the line and are often used for nefarious purposes.@@frala2398
You want to know people hitchhike.travel around the country with a backpack.be homeless then if you survive you will have an outlook on life that normal people will never get
This just solidifies the would a woman rather run into a bear in the woods or a man debate on social media right now. 💯 a bear. Just look at all the comments from men. Guns, tasers, snipers, etc.
No, your advice of giving to people not to hitch hike was a very good advice and good idea to mention because this world has a lot of serial killers. A lot of people who practice wrong doing kidnappings rapes, you name it. And it is dangerous out there. There's a lot of people with schizophrenia who are mentally ill people who like to just? Do kidnappings and wrong doings to people just for the fun of it. And that is wrong so all of us who want to enjoy life need to be very, very careful and do not do any hitchhiking at all period
If people don't report there case, how can you tell there's a lot? You have me lost. If one is embarrassed or feel stupid they don't report it? And this must mean there's they are not telling people and that makes a huge number? Counter dictating statement But I'm glad she has made it alive. Maybe human trafficking could be a topic to address. Even though it's going on under our noses with our government (US)
Man, you have a fantastic channel. Please don't get too mystical like David Paulides, keep it rational. Some of these wilderness disappearances are bizarre, however.
Don’t be naïve bro. The world is not a good place. And heaven is not a place on earth… That is absurd. This is a sin cursed world. Nobody is good, not one - that’s what God says about His own creation. So who is telling the truth?

To me, hitchhiking is like playing Russian Roulette. It's not worth the risk. I also feel the same way about picking them up.
You're absolutely right

A person's chances of becoming involved in a 'situation', not to their liking, greatly increases when there is not enough time to develop a definite trust. Nice message in your vid.
Very lucky young lady.. Thanks for sharing..
This story reminds me of the wicked serial killer Ivan Milat in Australia. Just listening to Sherry's story is terrifying ! 😢
The truck driver was sent by the divine spirit
Ivan Milat was so horrible. I just watched that story.
Yes, the truck driver that saved her life was an angel sent from God 🙏

Her dead parents watched and protected her.
Thank you for sharing Sherry's story and shining light to such a scary situation.
Thanks for your patient research. 🇦🇺
Thank you.
This is very scary. I'm glad she escaped.
Thanks Bryan
It reminds me of an incident in montana in about 1989. Me and a friend were too young to drink but we stopped by a bar to see someone he knew. We pulled out of the parking lot to leave and a van was ahead of us leaving the same bar. We were only a few car lengths behind this van and it was night. The on coming traffic lit up the occupants and i was shocked at what i was seeing while my oblivious friend was laughing and talking about something else completely. What i saw was a hulk of a man in the driver side throwing massive blows into the side of the head of some female with a thin build. I just remember the 3-5 crashing blows as her head pinged off the window and her hair flew. She was being rag dolled in that seat. It was a sort of shock in slow motion as i lifted a finger to point at this but my friend is ignoring me or talking over me and just then the van takes the right exit onto i90. and we went straight. I never even got him to shut up long enough to tell him what just happened. I just kinda rode in silence for awhile. Eyes wide. It's not until i am older that i realize it wasn't just an abusive guy or a dispute, but i think this guy was trying to punch the life out of her. He was trying to kill her im sure now that i have perspective. I'd seen other brutal things at that age so i never really had a gauge for what was over kill. This incident has haunted me my whole life.
Thanks Bryan for being a voice for those who can't speak out! Good man❤
thank you for sharing, you are always so kind
It can be a wild and ugly world...Always keep your guard up...always!
Thank you so much for sharing this story. Very lucky young person, and I'm so glad she made it out okay!!! I hope you never take it to heart if anyone calls you names. I was a hitchhiker and a vulnerable youngster and ran into a lot of trouble... you give great advice, so thank you!
thank you. prayers and blessings from nashville tennessee...
You are a very good person, Bryan.
Glacier Park, Montana! Gorgeous Park and fantastic tiny towns with great saloons. I was on the west side area but there is an east side area too. Met gold panners, mushroom pickers but never did try the pickled gizzards on the saloon counters.
This experience explains a lot about many of the other disappearances of solo girls that are unexplained 😢
Thanks, Brian.
bless your kind and loving heart
Sherry is bad ass! I really admire brave people like her🧡
Hope to God that trucker didn't get killed that night!
Shes totally lucky to get out of that. I had a couple with verybad intentions take me up above a dam. A long argument between him and her out of ear shot that i could hear what they were saying. To out in the country a long ways from where we started. then they were arguing again but i could hear them. He didn't want to let me go but she did. She said shes a mother. We happened to have been paid that night. I had been working 16 hour days for months and had 400$ on me. From what i gather he wanted to rob me and dump me. But she didn't let it happen. I finally got back to my car. They quit working. I seen them camping a few months later behind a big rock walking trail. I kept on the trail when i came back through they packed up and were gone. They only worked a month at work. I think they lived in their van. They were a pretty couple i believe she had children somewhere close but i wouldn't know who or where. Its was one scary night i didn't get home till midmorning. I was scared.
only an immature person would call you names for not wanting to hitchhike. they were probably the kids in school that would tease you if you didn't want to do drugs. thank you for sharing the story with us. I am a very cautious person in my older years and would never do anything alone unless I had no choice. take care.
Great story. I am glad it has a happy ending even though the middle was terrifying.
To help you out, the term is "early 20s" rather than "lower 20s."
I agree never to hitchhike but i disagree with you on thinking the world is a good place. I think its a bad place with alot of bad people. There are just some good people mixed in. Then there are bad people that wear a mask and comeoff as a good person. So you never know.
I would say there are a few really bad people and a few really good people but there is a huge majority in the middle who can be easily influenced as they are weak.
Something along this line happened to me but with just a older man camping near to where I was. I won't get in nitty gritty but this was in the early 90's and I've camped out other times and hiked but after this ordeal it has been with someone i know. I never camped alone after this and it's a crying shame that someone who only wants to experience and explore things on their own can't anymore without being hurt or assaulted by someone who doesn't care about life or about anyone trying to live and enjoy this great planet in a pure form. He broke me that's for sure but never again!
Hey Bryan....someone mentioned below about Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka two Canadians (who met in 1987)....this is what they would do.... go around looking for young girls to kidnap, rape and kill.
I would strongly urge you to mention them to this lady... Bernardo is still in jail but Homolka only got 12 years and has been out for years - she did a plea bargain but it was shown later that she lied and was a willing participant in it all. She should be in jail...She lives in Quebec(married with 3 kids) last I heard.
Bernardo had been doing this for awhile before meeting Homolka (he could have had someone else who was willing to go along with this as well prior to Homolka...who knows). Would not hurt to mention it to this woman as being American she might not have heard about this case. It was well reported on in Canada years ago and lots of info on the internet about them now.
Back in the 80s there was a hitchhiker that was caught with a human hand bones on his person. He killed people and ate them.
Friend of mine stopped in Wyoming near the reservation. He is 6 foot 2 and had a friend meet him at a local bar. He traveled on his job and his employer would cover food, drinks and room. He figured he could catch up on old times with his friend. He said he doesn't remember much. Said he woke up naked face down on motel floor with door wide open. His friend was passed out in hallway no where near his room. Oddly they both was drugged but neither was raped or got anything stolen from them. Only thing he remembers is his friend sitting down at his table when he met him there in bar.
Crazy. Sometimes a roofie meant for one person, usually a woman, ends up in the wrong person’s drink and some random dude that no one meant to roofie gets roofied. Scary AF.
I'm not sure how you can have your own "travel plans", when you don't even know where you are currently. smh
im amazed at the number of people who watch these videos and feel it necessary to comment how they refuse to enter the woods for recreation because of some story they heard on the internet i also find it quite disturbing that people who refuse to enter the woods are actively searching and watching these sort of videos it makes no sense
This case is really scary. Thank the good lord she got away!!
Interesting story disturbing 😊
Just bizarre how they crossed the border into Canada with a firearm and a tied up woman in their back seat...and they would have had to show passports for everyone. .something odd about this story
ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT FEELING!!! Be safe.
I'm glad Sherry ended up alive. Unfortunately, she did not listen to her instincts and get away from these two when she felt reservations about the guy. A woman hitchhiking alone is never safe. Many years ago I used to hitchhike alone sometimes. Unfortunately, I never experienced such a scary experience but I did have some close calls and stopped. Even when traveling in your vehicle, camping or hiking alone in isolated areas is a big risk. Sorry, but that's just the state of our world right now.
Your a good guy
Never go out alone! Especially to country!!!
I'm afraid of being in the dark and lone. Therefor camping alone will never be a thing for me.
Up north we call that drink a Long Island Ice Tea...yum
❤U Bry miss Kelli from Washington state 💚🧜♀️
Zero awareness.
Glad she survived. someone who seems 'nice'. may be just running a game to cause someone to let their guard down. While there are millions of cool people out there, there are many who are not, they just pretend to be to get something they are not entitled to.
I have several stories......
Holmolka....Bernardo.?
Not sure if they travelled out west of not but if they did I wouldn't be surprised. I think it was someone from the general area because they found a way across the international border and I'm pretty sure they didn't take a chance going through customs.
@@Freeontheland2030yes, I was wondering about how they got across the border if she was drugged and tied. They found some way around border control.
There are many un guarded roads and paths along the border but to pick one with a small chance of being detected might require local knowledge. Many of them have cameras and are under surveillance. Also there are Indian reserves that straddle the line and are often used for nefarious purposes.@@frala2398
Yes I agree .....
Only a criminal would call you an idiot for being smart enough not to hitchhike. Stay away from people who encourage you to do dangerous things.
You want to know people hitchhike.travel around the country with a backpack.be homeless then if you survive you will have an outlook on life that normal people will never get
sounds completely insane
❤❤❤
Here's eight words for Mr Ali the G-Rhythm.
Trust your gut.
This just solidifies the would a woman rather run into a bear in the woods or a man debate on social media right now. 💯 a bear. Just look at all the comments from men. Guns, tasers, snipers, etc.
No, your advice of giving to people not to hitch hike was a very good advice and good idea to mention because this world has a lot of serial killers. A lot of people who practice wrong doing kidnappings rapes, you name it. And it is dangerous out there. There's a lot of people with schizophrenia who are mentally ill people who like to just? Do kidnappings and wrong doings to people just for the fun of it. And that is wrong so all of us who want to enjoy life need to be very, very careful and do not do any hitchhiking at all period
I hope Sherrie had wised up,, So stupid,,
Hitchhiking? That's crazy in today's world. Man or woman.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If people don't report there case, how can you tell there's a lot?
You have me lost. If one is embarrassed or feel stupid they don't report it? And this must mean there's they are not telling people and that makes a huge number? Counter dictating statement
But I'm glad she has made it alive. Maybe human trafficking could be a topic to address. Even though it's going on under our noses with our government (US)
Man, you have a fantastic channel. Please don't get too mystical like David Paulides, keep it rational. Some of these wilderness disappearances are bizarre, however.

But, she's a brave, independent, strong, female 😂
Don’t be naïve bro. The world is not a good place. And heaven is not a place on earth… That is absurd. This is a sin cursed world. Nobody is good, not one - that’s what God says about His own creation. So who is telling the truth?
your way of narration is weird
