Great story Chris,I've heard another story recently of a mountain biker who was racing down a mountain and rounding a curve on to a sudden steep incline and was suddenly visciously attacked by a huge mountain lion.He also virtually gave up expecting death because the cat had mauled him so bad and had him in a firm grip on the back of his neck and restricted his breathing.Just as he was fading a 9to 10 foot sasquatch appeared out of nowhere grabbed the lion with two huge hands lifted it above it's head and brought it down on its shoulders so hard it snapped it's spine instantly. The guy was similar to your guy where he was still conscious cause be had a rush of adrenaline. If that wasn't enough the guy said it took a look at him snarled took one leap over a huge boulder at the side of the trail and about 10 seconds later a female sasquatch appeared and it was then his mind and blood loss made him pass out.Next thing he remembers is being rushed to hospital in a EMT van.He asked the medic how they got to him and he said a ranger walked out of his cabin and he was lying just in front of him.Wow what a tale guys!!
VERY interesting story! I live in Arkansas and have floated the Buffalo more than once during the day. I have also heard of MANY Sasquach encounters across the U.S. and Canada. I never had an encounter with anything of this nature while in the woods, BUT, I believe these encounters are SO PREVALENT as to make any normal person take notice. I believe they are out there.
Gave me the chills and was on the edge of my seat. This was very real. Lots of credit to the dad and son for handling it in a sensible manner. That sunrise must've seemed like an eternity. So many accounts of these Sasquatch events and even sightings. Always makes me wonder how these creatures live off the land and what kind of shelters they have. Great story, Chris. The waterfall behind you was a nice backdrop.
"...what kind of shelters they have" is thought provoking. Never having been captured or killed -- as far as we know -- you'd think we might see at least some kind of rudimentary shelter put together by creatures with obvious rock throwing, opposable thumbed skills.
@@partner348 There are lots of accounts of people finding what appear to be huge ground nests in the woods and shelters that are best described as lean-two's next to windfall trees and teepee-type structures around big trees. Most people wouldn’t even notice these things in the woods even if they saw them.
I recently heard a story about a hunter that was scanning an area he was hunting and saw a large boulder move then 3 Sasquatch come out from behind the boulder and the Sasquatch moved the bolder back covering the cave they came out of. On a side note, last year my husband and i were hiking an area near where we live here in Norcal an hour from Yosemite. My husband was joking around recording a video on his phone and said, "we are just out here looking for bigfoot". Right after he said that he heard a low sounding roar. I didnt hear it at the time but could definitely hear it on his recording later on when we got home. Also we hear a loud tree knock at night when we were camping last summer near our home. Very active area.
Regarding their shelters, according to some accounts, they exist in another dimension and can appear and disappear in our world. This would explain why some witnesses claim to have seen them suddenly vanish into thin air.
Dear Chris, We love decently, but not horrifically, scary stories that we can listen to as a family, minus the little ones we put in bed first. For mom, dad, our tween, and teen, your stories have brought so much fun and fascination into our home! We have a family genetic disorder that saddly keeps us from camping and hiking ourselves, so when we found you, a person we can watch who can do this for us, we were just thrilled. We call you Uncle Chris, because, you're just a real, loveable kind of person. We appreciate that you are positive, friendly, out going, sensible, good natured, caring, genuine, a great story teller and an all around wonderful human being! You have our support! There are other story tellers out there on TH-cam, but I've made it a rule that if the story teller himself is just as creepy as the stories he tells than he's not the guy for us. We know we can trust "Uncle Chris" with our ears and the precious time we have to be together! Love, HT Hibbard (the girl born and raised in Virginia City, NV)

I'm 70 yrs old, have been an outdoorsman in Washington state all my life, salmon fishing on the ocean, Elk hunting in Glacier peak area, pheasant, grouse, deer, hunting. Exploring and fishing all the inland waters of Puget sound, etc. etc. Cougars can be heard for miles and sound very close, they'll scream like women, beavers smack water like giant Boulder sound, Wilson Snipe near marshes sound like a jungle monkey with a loud seven or eight wild, crazy, crescendo building, deep, WHOOP, WHOOP, WHOOP... I've seen bears plow throw 40 ft tall fir stands whipping them like blowing grass snapping and breaking. Elk and bears grunt and snort and elk bugles can screech . Coyotes usually very recognizable but there's some screams they make as well. Cougars in heat will signal scream once or twice before mated. And screech owls will scream like demon sirens, absolutely hideous sound and great horned owls actually scream as well. Even cotton tail and jack rabbits scream when prey gets them. Some of it really gets your attention but I've loved every minute of it. But, the throwing of rocks sounds like ferel folks in the Arkansas woods. They are lucky there was no "Deliverence" type interaction, or someone could have been hurt, or worse Wildlife is varied and magnificent. After a lifetime I'm sure I haven't heard it all yet.
K Mac do you know some night creature that makes a rhythmic wood chopping sound? I was camping once and everytime I looked out to try to see what it was it stopped for a few minutes. This continued all night long

This brought back a very vivid memory of a similar situation. About 15 years ago I was camping with my dad, my little brother, and my grand parents who were a couple hundred yards away in a trailer. We were camped out along the rogue river in southern oregon. Where we had pitched the tents on the river was a rapid. It was very loud. We had to talk loud to hear each other. My brother and I shared a tent. He was maybe 8 or 9 and I was around 15. It was a normal day and we fell asleep to the sound of the river. I suddenly woke up terrified from a knock on the other side of the river. I lay still and silent until I hear 2 whoops on the other side of the river. My little brother woke up to both of these but I had to tell him it was just other campers (there weren’t any we were aware of however). As we start to fall back asleep we hear another whoop across the river. To our surprise someTHING made a whoop on our side as a response to the one we heard right before that. This terrified both of us but we were too scared to wake my dad or get out and go to his tent. From that point we stayed up all night listening to odd sounds I could only describe as low pitch whistling. Almost like a flute but you could tell it was animal made. (Or Bigfoot). When the sun rose we played it off as if nothing happened we didn’t want to be made fun of for being scared. The most interesting part to me was the fact we could hear the whistle over the roar of the rapids, but couldn’t hear each other talk while right next to each other. Come nightfall that day my dad asked us if we heard anything last night. We told him everything, and it turns out he heard everything we did as well. He wasn’t as scared as we were but remained silent to simply observe. I could go more in depth, I’ll ask my brother and dad to recall their story to see if I’m missing anything.
WOW! I believe you completely! I live in Rogue River Oregon on the side of a mountain & in the middle of the night, I thought my dogs were whining to go out so in one motion I slid the deck door open, turned on the light & stepped out. Directly across from me were 3 of them silhouetted under my cedar tree! It was a "Holy Crap!" moment, and as I backed up, they backed up. I stepped back into the house, turned off the light & turned to see my dogs giving me the look, "Are you CRAZY? We were trying to warn you!" .
@@stormy439 Must be pretty scary living there after having seen that . Don't you feel creeped out about having to go out after dark or coming home when it's dark ? I know I would .
@gardensofthegods It is creepy during darkness because of all the trees, but if the dogs won't go out, I dont go out! I now have 360 motion activated security lights. I need to record how quiet it suddenly gets here and send it in. LOL I "USED TO" sleep with my face right next to the screen on the open window every night for the fresh air... not any more!😃👍
Great story telling Chris, you really allowed me to visualize that whole scenario. This one is really scary too. I can just imagine more then one Sasquatch scaring random river tourists to stay out of their territory.
I'm a little jealous of you who live in the US - your woods seem to be infested with cryptids and the supernatural. I believe that our Swedish forests are far too safe and quiet for my taste. However, drinking beer out in the wilderness seems to be a common denominator! 😆 Thanks for another exciting story!
@@erikrhafer6644 I know some of the ones you listed. The forest trolls and the gnomes are probably best known in Sweden. Most modern Swedes count them as folklore. You never hear of anyone encountering these creatures these days (with very few exceptions). Among other things, I am a field researcher in the national organization UFO-Sweden, and I know that it happens that there are still some reports of encounters with classic gnomes. But as I said - they are extremely rare. I have several American friends that I talk to quite regularly, including Justin from the Cryptids of the Corn podcast in Ohio. Justin and his brother encountered a Bigfoot on their farm when they were in their teens. Another saw the silhouette of a Dogman in the twilight. It feels a bit like the American continent attracts a lot of cryptids, for some reason.
@@GAVACHO5150 Haha, I dare not vouch for the fact that all Swedes are so very sane. But the difference is enormous in the number of encounters with cryptids if you compare Scandinavia with the USA.
@@aventyrilappland That is fantastic ! I live in Pennsylvania us, last July at 4:30am I witnessed a massive craft low in the sky with 4 extremely bright rectangular lights down the side, so bright I could not make out the shape of it very well but it was very large moving slow towards the city of Philadelphia. I'm 57 and never seen anything like that before. Being your a researcher I figured you may want to hear it.
@@erikrhafer6644 Thank you for your report! That's amazing! We rarely get reports of big crafts like this in Sweden. We collect about 800-1000 reports a years, but it's mostly small dots in the sky - misinterpretations like starts, planets satellites and aircrafts of all sorts. Of course we got some pretty good cases, but as I said: They're rare! Big thanks for telling me about it! Very interesting!
This was a great story, Chris! We know you can only do so much at a time so never worry about that! It's amazing to me that you have a full-time job. You allow your viewers to submit their stories and go out somewhere beautiful to tell their stories (I love the ones at home too, always a very cozy vibe) and you have to edit your videos. So you are doing an amazing job already, in my opinion!
Hey Man! Those copper cups are cool. I own a few but depending on how it was manufactured and a few other chemical reaction possibilities, they can become toxic. The jury is still out on whether or not they're completely safe. Recently, I found an antique silver cup and I have to say, everything that I drink out of that cup tastes better, stays cold longer, stays warm longer and even through it weighs twice as much as my copper cups. I absolutely love it. If I give someone a drink from the silver cup. They all have the same reaction. " Whoa! What a cool cup. It feels like there's a charge of energy when you hold it. It looks and feels so solid and cool. I want it. " I say, "Thank you. I know it's really cool, but I can't let you have it because it's my lucky cup." It even looks like a small trophy or sippy cup with grips on both sides. If I find another one like it, I'll try to get it to you. Anyway, I love your content. Have fun. Stay safe.
I was binge watching your videos yesterday and got to see you reach 94k subscribers! So cool, congratulations Chris, hope you reach 100k soon! Love your work!
I live in a camper tent in the woods. Over the years I have heard barred owls, early in the year after their babies start hopping from branches and start to fly we get to hear the parents and babies hooting. Over a 7 year period they had about 4-5 liters of babies. Usuly 2 but the last year they were alive they had 3. They made all kinds of weird noticed. They scream, squeak, and other noises. The babies make the most irregular sounds. Sometimes other families came threw with a different variety of sounds. S few will have a metallic sound. Some sound like squeaky doors swinging. Wow. That made me remember back in the 50s my parents kept hearing a door swinging at night. That's what it was.
Awesome job again Chris, you deliver the stories extremely well, keeps me on the edge of my seat 😂. Thank you for taking the time to do this as I look forward to a new story each week. I usually go back and rewatch some of the previous stories while waiting for a new one to drop.
I lived back in the red clay woods down south for several years, in an old tin roof turkey trot house. There was a fall and spring migration that came through close by, moving at night only, every year I lived there. I knew the calls of all the local wildlife. There was bear, turkey, all sorts of owls and hawks and eagles and waterbirds, beaver and deer and every other creature you think of when you think of wildlife. I learned them all, even the odd little noises and shrieks that scare city folk so much. These were something else. The hoots were most distinctive. We never bothered them, they never bothered us. But we stayed inside while they were moving through. Common courtesy, you understand. There's not much place left for them, and I can understand them wanting your friends to get out of their territory.
Wow, thank you so very much for your hike there, and the great father and son encounter. Very scary. The government does not want us to know about the hairy man.
I was watching past Base Camp Chris videos, even some previously watched (I can't get enough of this channel)...when all of a sudden, this new episode pops up in my alerts, what a joyful surprise!
Thank you Chris. I can’t tell you how much I love watching and listening to you. You are very charismatic. I love your laugh and your smile and the way you tell your stories with such enthusiasm. You’re becoming a good friend. Keep hiking.
Texan here and I love the Buffalo River. Beautiful part of the country. Me and 2 buddies from college went for a short 4 day trip once and ran into the rainbow gathering , then further down the trail stumbled into a permanent camp of muzzle loading hunters. I've been down that river many times and you never know what you will encounter! Great story sir!
The effectiveness of your storytelling is that you take us through it almost in real time, with lots of detail. Not for the first time, during this story I wondered if the sasquach was trying to help them. When he had been collecting wood, suddenly a tree was broken in the forest. Was it a gesture like "you want wood, here's some wood"?
I was dead hooked from start to finish with this story. Oh my!!!! I could see Bill and Kevin going through all of it thanks to your amazing story telling talents. Wow
This story was amazing and scary too. I enjoy the sound effects you make as you are telling the story. Great job. I look forward to your weekly videos. The scenery is also always beautiful. Love from Maryland
@@GodBearOutoors my husband and I were discussing why so many are being heard/seen and seem to be intelligent. My take is that if there were only a handful that survived the flood, it took this long to breed large numbers, the more numbers, higher chances of human contact.
@@charlene5461 very well could be, that and I believe that they tried to move them out with the rest of the Indians on the trail of tears, but they've made their way back to their home territories; Ozarks, Appalachia, Adirondacks.? It truly is a crazy, but true topic to wrap your head around.
@@GodBearOutoors Now that is very feasible!! My Grandmother's, grandmother was a full Cherokee indian and was told the story of the trail of tears many times. It breaks my heart💔 what my ancestors went through. And there are stories of Sassquash as long as there have been someone to tell them. I believe I am going to research a date, area and time line of how far back these stories have been told. You may very well be right!!
Chris there is such authenticity to the stories you tell, I have no doubts that most are real encounters with a tremendous creature we do not understand. I have spent a lifetime hunting and hiking in the forests of Colorado, Wyoming, Michigan and Taiwan. I feel blessed to have only encountered bears and lions! I hope that I never have a monster story to share with you, but stay tuned as this year's hunting season approaches...
I live in Arkansas, rural in the mountains. I've had plenty of encounters myself, we have dogman and bigfoot. Others have claimed to see other cryptids here, not sure about those, but I don't doubt it.
Wow, this is freaky Chris!!! You won't catch me camping period!!! Lol. Too many things that go bump in the night. In a weird way though, this intrigues me. The legend of bigfoot fascinates me. I believe that something is out there!!! Thanks for another great story Chris!! Be safe out there.❤
A few years ago my wife and I were on the Buffalo and we got in a big disagreement. I left her there, I am relieved to know she is doing well. So glad they didn't shoot her.
Thank you Chris for yet another amazing story! We appreciate and always look forward to your next video whether it be at home or somewhere in the wilderness. For this story I cold visualize every detail as if I was watching it happen. Thats how great a storyteller you are! This one was very scary and had me at the edge of my seat! I can't wait until you reach 100K subscribers! Keep up the great work!
So glad you are wrapping this story up before dark! 😬 This one really gave the the heebie-jeebies, and was happy when the dawn started breaking.. Does this father/son team plan on doing more trips together after this unnerving experience? Well, take care, Chris! 🤠
Great story. As much as I enjoy adventure and camping and being out in beautiful nature, I couldn't be out in the middle of nowhere and expect it to be peaceful. They need to make a movie about this story. I can only imagine how many people decided to live out their lives in the middle of ANY forest. Whether it was the infamous Big Foot, Sasquatch, Skunk Ape, Yeti depending on what region they are in, or just plain folks living off the land and defending it. Be safe out there campers.
Feral people in the woods and plenty of wild animals that have more strange calls and howls then you can count......😎 love yourchannel Chris, keep on rolling.
Hello from Oklahoma! Good Story. I've floated the Buffalo a few times. The group we went with the first time, told us to bring extra fruit to leave in the woods. We did. We brought apples and oranges. The fruit we left in the woods would be gone in the morning. The only other thing that came up missing was some fish on a stringer. But, that could've been deer, bears, or raccoons hard to say. So...
I loved that story! The older I get, the more time in the mountains, the stranger the sounds become. Just as long as everyone out there stays safe and comes back, its an adventure🤙
Thank you Chris for another wonderful story. I just love these and you are a great story teller. There are so many sightings and experiences, has to be Sasquatch out there and a lot of them. Thanks again.
Wow! All the stories are good but this one in particular was very compelling and scary as all get out. Talk about feeling it. Great job conveying the setting & the situation so well! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome as usual Chris I live in Arkansas and am not far from both stories from here you have done. Very familiar with Mena hope to do some research there in the future.
Btw, it's 90 degrees here in Kansas today with storms coming later this week, it's too soon and is a bit unusual even for us. ....and a lot of too warm for me haha. Thanks again for sending us these great stories!
Another great story Chris. Always My Sunday night favorite time. Please be safe out there with the bears waking up. And keep hiking🥾 Always counting down the days to your next story. I rewatch them all. 😁
I’ve floated much of the Buffalo with friends numerous times over the past 20 years but we never had such an experience. Having said that, it doesn’t surprise me that someone could have such an experience as it truly is surrounded by vast and dense forest. It’s a great river to float though as each twist and turn offers a totally unique and amazing view and the fishing can be awesome. A weather radio is a must as the river can rise very quickly and be impassable during a rain storm. In the past, people have been swept off of gravel bars during the night while camping.

I got scared too. Saved this story for my night off. I like to listen right before bed, helps me relax. I think Chris should have his own show on TV.
Story from today is the most scary! 06-12-23
I'm a little jealous of you who live in the US - your woods seem to be infested with cryptids and the supernatural. I believe that our Swedish forests are far too safe and quiet for my taste. However, drinking beer out in the wilderness seems to be a common denominator! 😆
Thanks for another exciting story!
The Scandinavian countries have many cryptids, Nisser - The huldra - Vette - Fossegrimmen - pesta - nokken ? Do you know of these ?
@@erikrhafer6644 I know some of the ones you listed. The forest trolls and the gnomes are probably best known in Sweden. Most modern Swedes count them as folklore. You never hear of anyone encountering these creatures these days (with very few exceptions).
Among other things, I am a field researcher in the national organization UFO-Sweden, and I know that it happens that there are still some reports of encounters with classic gnomes. But as I said - they are extremely rare.
I have several American friends that I talk to quite regularly, including Justin from the Cryptids of the Corn podcast in Ohio. Justin and his brother encountered a Bigfoot on their farm when they were in their teens. Another saw the silhouette of a Dogman in the twilight. It feels a bit like the American continent attracts a lot of cryptids, for some reason.
@@GAVACHO5150 Haha, I dare not vouch for the fact that all Swedes are so very sane. But the difference is enormous in the number of encounters with cryptids if you compare Scandinavia with the USA.
@@aventyrilappland That is fantastic ! I live in Pennsylvania us, last July at 4:30am I witnessed a massive craft low in the sky with 4 extremely bright rectangular lights down the side, so bright I could not make out the shape of it very well but it was very large moving slow towards the city of Philadelphia. I'm 57 and never seen anything like that before. Being your a researcher I figured you may want to hear it.
@@erikrhafer6644 Thank you for your report! That's amazing!
We rarely get reports of big crafts like this in Sweden. We collect about 800-1000 reports a years, but it's mostly small dots in the sky - misinterpretations like starts, planets satellites and aircrafts of all sorts.
Of course we got some pretty good cases, but as I said: They're rare!
Big thanks for telling me about it! Very interesting!
This was a great story, Chris! We know you can only do so much at a time so never worry about that! It's amazing to me that you have a full-time job. You allow your viewers to submit their stories and go out somewhere beautiful to tell their stories (I love the ones at home too, always a very cozy vibe) and you have to edit your videos. So you are doing an amazing job already, in my opinion!
Indeed he is, we are very grateful for all his efforts to deliver great content, and at that he is very successful, he does an amazing work!

Hey Man! Those copper cups are cool. I own a few but depending on how it was manufactured and a few other chemical reaction possibilities, they can become toxic. The jury is still out on whether or not they're completely safe.
Recently, I found an antique silver cup and I have to say, everything that I drink out of that cup tastes better, stays cold longer, stays warm longer and even through it weighs twice as much as my copper cups. I absolutely love it. If I give someone a drink from the silver cup. They all have the same reaction. " Whoa! What a cool cup. It feels like there's a charge of energy when you hold it. It looks and feels so solid and cool. I want it. "
I say, "Thank you. I know it's really cool, but I can't let you have it because it's my lucky cup." It even looks like a small trophy or sippy cup with grips on both sides. If I find another one like it, I'll try to get it to you.
Anyway, I love your content. Have fun. Stay safe.
I was binge watching your videos yesterday and got to see you reach 94k subscribers! So cool, congratulations Chris, hope you reach 100k soon! Love your work!
Yay!! Story time with Chris!!!
I live in a camper tent in the woods. Over the years I have heard barred owls, early in the year after their babies start hopping from branches and start to fly we get to hear the parents and babies hooting. Over a 7 year period they had about 4-5 liters of babies. Usuly 2 but the last year they were alive they had 3. They made all kinds of weird noticed. They scream, squeak, and other noises. The babies make the most irregular sounds. Sometimes other families came threw with a different variety of sounds. S few will have a metallic sound. Some sound like squeaky doors swinging. Wow. That made me remember back in the 50s my parents kept hearing a door swinging at night. That's what it was.
WOW! That was a very scary story, You certainly find the most beautiful and interesting places to share your stories. Thank you.
Camped there once.....beautiful place. Puts my mind to a better time......yessir.
Awesome job again Chris, you deliver the stories extremely well, keeps me on the edge of my seat 😂.
Thank you for taking the time to do this as I look forward to a new story each week. I usually go back and rewatch some of the previous stories while waiting for a new one to drop.
Same here, I watch them over and over again while waiting for a new one.
I lived back in the red clay woods down south for several years, in an old tin roof turkey trot house. There was a fall and spring migration that came through close by, moving at night only, every year I lived there. I knew the calls of all the local wildlife.
There was bear, turkey, all sorts of owls and hawks and eagles and waterbirds, beaver and deer and every other creature you think of when you think of wildlife. I learned them all, even the odd little noises and shrieks that scare city folk so much. These were something else. The hoots were most distinctive. We never bothered them, they never bothered us. But we stayed inside while they were moving through. Common courtesy, you understand.
There's not much place left for them, and I can understand them wanting your friends to get out of their territory.
Hey Chris good to see you my friend. Be safe and stay hiking
Beautiful scene for this story.
Wow, thank you so very much for your hike there, and the great father and son encounter. Very scary. The government does not want us to know about the hairy man.
I was watching past Base Camp Chris videos, even some previously watched (I can't get enough of this channel)...when all of a sudden, this new episode pops up in my alerts, what a joyful surprise!
Thank you Chris. I can’t tell you how much I love watching and listening to you. You are very charismatic. I love your laugh and your smile and the way you tell your stories with such enthusiasm. You’re becoming a good friend. Keep hiking.
Good to see you!
Thanks for bringing us the great stories every week. Good to hear that the father and son got out of there okay.
Texan here and I love the Buffalo River. Beautiful part of the country. Me and 2 buddies from college went for a short 4 day trip once and ran into the rainbow gathering , then further down the trail stumbled into a permanent camp of muzzle loading hunters. I've been down that river many times and you never know what you will encounter! Great story sir!
The effectiveness of your storytelling is that you take us through it almost in real time, with lots of detail. Not for the first time, during this story I wondered if the sasquach was trying to help them. When he had been collecting wood, suddenly a tree was broken in the forest. Was it a gesture like "you want wood, here's some wood"?
I wish I could watch them every day! I look so forward to this every Sunday! It's the best part of my week! Thanks Chris!
Thank you Chris, you're a really great story teller!
I was dead hooked from start to finish with this story. Oh my!!!! I could see Bill and Kevin going through all of it thanks to your amazing story telling talents. Wow
I love how Chris narrates the stories.
This story was amazing and scary too. I enjoy the sound effects you make as you are telling the story. Great job. I look forward to your weekly videos. The scenery is also always beautiful. Love from Maryland
Great story! Love hearing these ! There is things out there in the woods , we don't know of, smart beings , I've experienced weird things myself
Like, what if u don't mind me asking brother
Great story again, Chris. Can’t wait to your next installment. Keep them coming!
Sweet thanks again Chris 💪🏻❤️🌲
Hi Chris!!! Thanks for the story tonight! My brother heard rock clacking at Mom's this past Friday night. Crazy stuff.
This stuff is nuts! It's getting to be more common than not right.?
@@GodBearOutoors my husband and I were discussing why so many are being heard/seen and seem to be intelligent. My take is that if there were only a handful that survived the flood, it took this long to breed large numbers, the more numbers, higher chances of human contact.
@@charlene5461 very well could be, that and I believe that they tried to move them out with the rest of the Indians on the trail of tears, but they've made their way back to their home territories; Ozarks, Appalachia, Adirondacks.?
It truly is a crazy, but true topic to wrap your head around.
@@GodBearOutoors Now that is very feasible!! My Grandmother's, grandmother was a full Cherokee indian and was told the story of the trail of tears many times. It breaks my heart💔 what my ancestors went through. And there are stories of Sassquash as long as there have been someone to tell them. I believe I am going to research a date, area and time line of how far back these stories have been told. You may very well be right!!
@@charlene5461 Those stories would have been so amazing to listen to. Super sad. But, I could listen all day to those older stories.
Chris there is such authenticity to the stories you tell, I have no doubts that most are real encounters with a tremendous creature we do not understand. I have spent a lifetime hunting and hiking in the forests of Colorado, Wyoming, Michigan and Taiwan. I feel blessed to have only encountered bears and lions! I hope that I never have a monster story to share with you, but stay tuned as this year's hunting season approaches...
You are such a good storyteller Chris. Another good one.
Canoed the Buffalo River with my father back in May 09. Magnificent river and Outstanding story, Thanks.
I live in Arkansas, rural in the mountains. I've had plenty of encounters myself, we have dogman and bigfoot. Others have claimed to see other cryptids here, not sure about those, but I don't doubt it.
Hi Chris, thanks for another great and scary story. I always look forward to Sunday and the next story!!
Wow, this is freaky Chris!!! You won't catch me camping period!!! Lol. Too many things that go bump in the night. In a weird way though, this intrigues me. The legend of bigfoot fascinates me. I believe that something is out there!!! Thanks for another great story Chris!! Be safe out there.❤
Awesome story!! Thanks for the hard work Chris. From The Natural State have a great week and God Bless You All!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲
I love the way Chris tells the story. It sounds as if he actually witnessed it himself. That makes it very easy to visualize what happened.
A few years ago my wife and I were on the Buffalo and we got in a big disagreement. I left her there, I am relieved to know she is doing well. So glad they didn't shoot her.
Thank you for the scary story and thank you for the beautiful place and waters sound , ❤️👍
Thank you Chris for yet another amazing story! We appreciate and always look forward to your next video whether it be at home or somewhere in the wilderness. For this story I cold visualize every detail as if I was watching it happen. Thats how great a storyteller you are! This one was very scary and had me at the edge of my seat! I can't wait until you reach 100K subscribers! Keep up the great work!
So glad you are wrapping this story up before dark! 😬
This one really gave the the heebie-jeebies, and was happy when the dawn started breaking..
Does this father/son team plan on doing more trips together after this unnerving experience?
Well, take care, Chris! 🤠
Great story. As much as I enjoy adventure and camping and being out in beautiful nature, I couldn't be out in the middle of nowhere and expect it to be peaceful. They need to make a movie about this story. I can only imagine how many people decided to live out their lives in the middle of ANY forest. Whether it was the infamous Big Foot, Sasquatch, Skunk Ape, Yeti depending on what region they are in, or just plain folks living off the land and defending it. Be safe out there campers.
Great story and adventure! Thank you for sharing!
So much we don’t know huh? Always gut instinct, never fails. Thank you for sharing 😇
Your a great story teller like we are all around a campfire and drinking cold ones listening
Great story. So many similar stories it makes a person wonder
Great story Chris - totally made me jump with the splash sound effect😂
Good to know I wasn't the only one. 😉
@@robingobetz438 lok
Thanks for your excellent story, Chris!
Another great one Chris, stay safe my friend... 💯👍🐻
This was a great one. I can n have watched you for hours
Another great story Chris!! Love that you are in practically my backyard. Love the Sierra Nevadas, love your content. 🏔️ ❤🐻
Great story! My husband and I love to listen to your channel while we’re on road trips. Thanks for sharing so much !
Be safe everyone and keep your footing whenever your paths and travels take you
I’ve heard strange sounds while hiking a trail on the Buffalo with friends. Something followed us on the ridge above the trail we were hiking.
Thank you Chris. I always look forward to your stories! 😮
Another great story with a great view 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love the Buffalo river, I float it a few times a year. The Rush access is nice and the old buildings left from the old town of Rush is cool to see
Looks like a great float!
Hello my friend I've been trying to catch your videos each week but sometimes I'm a little late. I love the video thanks again.
Feral people in the woods and plenty of wild animals that have more strange calls and howls then you can count......😎 love yourchannel Chris, keep on rolling.
Wonderful story thanks Chris
Love these stories and what a cool channel 😊
Great story! Thank you Chris!
Another fantastic yet frightening experience by BCC! I do not envy those two. That's what I call PTSD fuel
Most eerie one yet! Wow!
Found your channel last week, these are awesome!
Your memory of the the stories you tell are spot on you dont hv to read or anything you just remember all the details....great story..
Thanks Paul!
Hello from Oklahoma! Good Story. I've floated the Buffalo a few times. The group we went with the first time, told us to bring extra fruit to leave in the woods. We did. We brought apples and oranges. The fruit we left in the woods would be gone in the morning. The only other thing that came up missing was some fish on a stringer. But, that could've been deer, bears, or raccoons hard to say. So...
I loved that story! The older I get, the more time in the mountains, the stranger the sounds become. Just as long as everyone out there stays safe and comes back, its an adventure🤙
I totally agree!
Chris, another great story. Thank You 🇺🇸
Fabulous story Fabulous setting Fabulous host
Thank you Chris for another wonderful story. I just love these and you are a great story teller. There are so many sightings and experiences, has to be Sasquatch out there and a lot of them. Thanks again.
Great campfire story telling.. I will play these around our family campfires for fun.. thanks so much Chris
Wow! All the stories are good but this one in particular was very compelling and scary as all get out. Talk about feeling it. Great job conveying the setting & the situation so well! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Really good story tonight, Chris. Scary!
Awesome as usual Chris I live in Arkansas and am not far from both stories from here you have done. Very familiar with Mena hope to do some research there in the future.
Really enjoyed this one!!!!
Thanks Chris, love the creek and story site!
A very scary experience!
Thank you for telling it!❤
Very Welcome! Chris
I love when you say, "That's next." It's so suspenseful!!
Btw, it's 90 degrees here in Kansas today with storms coming later this week, it's too soon and is a bit unusual even for us. ....and a lot of too warm for me haha. Thanks again for sending us these great stories!
90 degrees? Wow, I'm glad it hasn't been that hot in my area yet. I hate hot weather like that, but I know it's coming soon.
Wow that's warm for anywhere this time of year! Stay cool. 👍
I’m in Dodge City and it did get warm here lately
Crazy good story, thanks Chris!
Love your stories Chris keep them up.
Hey there Chris, loving your stories. K.H. xx
Thank youuuuu! ❤❤❤
Hey Chris great story love that you Rock 👍❤️✌️💪🏻🙏🏻
Love these stories ,I know it's not nice for the people having these experiences so scary 😮
"That's next..." Indeed it is!! * rubs palms up and down in sheer delight *
Another great story Chris. Always My Sunday night favorite time. Please be safe out there with the bears waking up. And keep hiking🥾 Always counting down the days to your next story. I rewatch them all. 😁
YAS! A NEW ONE FROM CHRIS! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Not even listened yet; but, AM❤🎉🎉🎉
I’ve floated much of the Buffalo with friends numerous times over the past 20 years but we never had such an experience. Having said that, it doesn’t surprise me that someone could have such an experience as it truly is surrounded by vast and dense forest. It’s a great river to float though as each twist and turn offers a totally unique and amazing view and the fishing can be awesome. A weather radio is a must as the river can rise very quickly and be impassable during a rain storm. In the past, people have been swept off of gravel bars during the night while camping.
Excelente relato. Me mantuve en atención todo el tiempo. Gracias.
