You probably already know but, I have to say it. When you put the new Coleman Mantels on, you are supposed to light them with a match and let them burn completely before you turn the gas on. Once cooled...hit the gas and light the match! My dad charged me with this task every time we set up camp. I'm about your age and I still use the old Coleman and stove too. Great story tonight...love every one. Thank you. God bless.
@Base Camp Chris. Hey Chris..no disrespect but, the mantles turning to ash after burning them first is exactly what is supposed to happen. As soon as you turn the gas on and relight the lantern they harden into a nice, rounded shell and last for a long time. But, if you touch them after the burn and before gas...then yes, they will crumble like ash as you said. I hope this helps. Please try and you will see. Love your videos and never miss one. God bless.
For the record, I’m now addicted to this channel. AND, we’re going camping next week in Toiyabe National, so of course I’ll be freaked out thinking of this story… 😰
@@basecampchris I camped with friends. There tent was super full of mildew. It started to pour and it leaked like crazy. I had allergies and got pretty sick. Real misery!
Went for a walk recently in the woods close to my home . After awhile I started to hear weird eerie almost like crying noise I got so creeped out then I looked up and realized it was the trees making that noise . Thank God it was day time because if it was night time I would have thought I was hearing demons 😆 Nature can be so creepy and spooky . Idk how people can camp alone at night, I would be seeing and hearing things just from my imagination alone . Good for you that you can do that 👍
Me too. I love camping, but I would not do it by myself. I would freak out and be a nervous wreck. I do, however, love watching others camp and tell scary stories 👍🏕
Don't know how you do it, Chris? Tell spooky stories in the thick of it all. Lol I ended up watching this on my break while waiting to unlock my first gate at a remote park on Vancouver Island, in North Saanich. It's pitch black out here. I leave the patrol cR running with headlamps lighting up the parking lot. I work as a graveyard shift mobile security guard driver.
It's about mind over matter and realizing there is nothing there in the dark that isn't there in the light, even if it is Wendigo. I find getting familiar with forest sounds during the daylight hours help people realize this. It also helps to state your intentions before entering any forest telling any resident entities that you are aware of their presence and mean them no harm, so you will accept no harm in return. Try leaving a small offering as part of the process. Always go armed and with tracking because they seem not to mess with armed folks carrying spot devices or others like them. And if after all this you get a strong gut instinct that you aren't wanted there or you're not supposed to be there, listen to your gut and leave, find another forest and repeat or save it for another day. Good luck.
@@D-A-1776 I pack a 10mm pistol,.45-70 marlin, and a 10 guage. I heard and seen things that made my skin crawl. Be safe and always enjoy the wild places.
When you were talking about the two hunters sitting in their truck, my refrigerator made a noise and I jumped - my mind was in that truck with those two scared hunters! Great job as always Chris!!
Storytelling at its finest! Looks like you are out there every weekend. I think a lot of people just don’t know how unpopulated and remote some parts of California are….
@@tdiler12 i like this Chris. I like his older videos but I like these ones too. You know, YOU could do some exploring and record it for US 😀. I would totally watch your adventures 😉 😄.
@@kdavis4910 I wish I did ! I have many wonderful adventures but haven't the patience like Chris to hustle cameras. Its easier to drink beer and watch Chris lol
@@tdiler12 lol 😆. I imagine it is and I'm glad you weren't offended by my comment because I wasn't trying to be offensive. I totally meant what I said. I would totally watch your adventures if you recorded and uploaded them. I live in Maine and I like seeing nature from other places that I may not ever make it to.
I got so nervous when you were demonstrating that Sasquatch whistle! You kept going, and I was thinking, Noooo! You're ALONE in the woods! Stop doing that! lol
Hey I heard a response back. Use headphones and earlier when he showed this area I saw one by the rock edge on other side of stream. It was green morphing into the background foliage. It looked like it had a baby on its back and then front. I could see a lot of details. It’s arm you could see was holding onto something. I use a magnifying glass to see these details
Gardyloo! I love your name. Do you know what it means though? It means look out below because I'm emptying my chamber pot out of this here 18th century window! Lol. Nice 😅🤣
I love it. You made me me laugh out loud, Chris, trying to pronounce your beer’s name. You’re a funny guy. Wish you did a story every day. Did it taste like peanut butter?
I love what you’re doing with your videos lately… your stories are great, you have a cool presence, and I love your 70’s camping stories and graphics. I grew up in the 70’s (10 yo in 1972) and I vividly remember camping with my parents up where you are. I still remember the strong smell of the Coleman lanterns, and my dad always being very protective of his spare mantles! I also love the area of the country that you travel in. I live in San Diego now (Southern CA) so it’s lovely to experience Northern CA and the Eastern Sierras with you. Please keep your videos coming. Such a high spot on TH-cam. Thanks, Chris! :)
Always SO happy when I see another upload!! I can't lie Chris! I worry about your night trips out in the forest, alone!! I hope you always carry some type of protection!! Stay safe and keep them coming!! 💚💚
Imagine thinking your rifles might not be sufficient for whatever animal this could be, and just taking the bullets out and hanging them up! It's one thing to think they may not help you, but another entirely to just discard your one piece of protection! Bizarre. Really happy I found this channel. Binging everything 🏕️
My husband and I recently found your channel and love listening to your stories and viewing the beautiful scenery. He grew up camping in the Sierra Nevada's (especially the El Dorado National Forest) in the 60's and 70's, and I know it makes him nostalgic for the mountains. I have noticed that every once in a while you will tell your viewers what park you are in, but don't mention the state. My husband knows most of the places you go, but sometimes we have to look them up to get oriented. Those of us stuck in flat Ohio sometimes need a bit of help to know where you are! Thanks for posting these - I especially love the cooking parts, because trying to come up with new cooking ideas for camping is challenging. I am interested to know where/how you drain the fat from cooking ground beef while in bear country. Thanks! Keep hiking!
Holy cow! This may be my fave video you've made Chris! I absolutely love getting home from work on Sunday evening because I know I can look forward to a new upload from you! Excellent story, beautiful scenery, and great company! Doesn't get much better! Cheers! keep hiking
On a hunting trip on private land here in Tennessee (I won’t disclose the area)!we were about 10 miles from anywhere, I kept hearing a BABY cry! It sounded like a human infant! It would stop for a while and then start again but in a different location. I came to a point where the game trail had been blocked with uprooted trees and boulders when I got the butt puckering CREEPS! Then I could hear the baby start crying n the other side of the blockade but closer than I had heard it to that point! I could not get out of there fast enough. If the mother of the baby blocked my path with logs, trees and boulders I couldn’t even roll over, was on the other side? I wanted NOTHING to do with her! I hoped she got her babies colic under control and wished her well while getting my ass out of there! I don’t think my sphincter relaxed until I was sitting in my truck with the doors locked! I’ve NEVER told anyone this until now. I figure folks will think that my cheese slipped off my cracker.
I grew up camping in the Teton Valley region of Idaho in the late 80's early 90's with my grandparents and cousins, both of my grandparents were born and raised in that region. I remember their old tent from the 70's, how durable and strong that beast was! And the Smell was so unique! I was big into UFO's and Bigfoot as a kid and believed EVERYTHING! I used to get so creeped out when us cousins would go walking in the woods after dark to try to scare ourselves. Such great memories.
Oh I love the sound of those Coleman Lanterns!!!! Ahhh happy memories, nothing makes me happier then the sound of the old lanterns, the crackle of a campfire and the sound of a tent zipper!!! 🏕️👣🔥
Growing up I had a Sears Ted Williams 22 semi-automatic rifle. It was very accurate very reliable and I loved it. I used to go out in the woods every day with it. It was a great little gun.
Hey Chris . My wife and I have started to do some hiking. Can’t believe how we love it. The quietness’s, the beauty of it, the wild life we are seeing. We are trying to do 1 a week or 2. Can’t wait for the next one. Thank you for the inspiration to do it!
Man I just happened to come across your channel and I’m hooked!! I love how you set the ambiance for your spooky stories..and you are such a great storyteller..I feel like I’m right there..love it!and love that you have a beer!
Hello 👋 Chris, thank you for sharing another thrilling episode from Base Camp 🏕 Chris Mystery Theater. Your stories are getting more exciting. Your stories Remind me of weekend camping 🏕 with my Dad in Northern California during the 70s. On Saturday evening. I would tune to a radio station KSL in Salt Lake City and listen to E.G. Marshall's Mystery Theater. Those were fun times. Take good care of yourself and keep those great stories coming along. 🤗
Boy, does that Coleman lantern take me back. The suds, the meal, the story, the location - I love it all. Does the peanut butter stout taste of peanut butter at all? Happy hiking, Chris!
I've hunted central and north Idaho a number of times, including the Payette National Forest, Yellowpine, Elk City, the St. Joe River drainage, Middle Fork of the Salmon River, and the Frank Church wilderness (so designated by Congress in 1980). It IS rugged country to be sure. Strange sights and sounds abound in those regions. Great story this edition. Stay safe out there.
WOW Chris, showing those Coleman mantels just gave me some warm & fuzzy flashbacks! I am a just little tiny bit older than you, but the memories are pretty much the same. My grandparents even had a fold out camper. I was not interested in sleeping in it, I wanted my tent! I used to make comments like; "Why go camping when you are just bringing everything from home, anyway?" Golly I was such a mouthy 10 yr old!!! LOL I'd get the back of my deserving head "popped" more than a time or a few! (chuckling) It cracks me up when people take their "mobile hotel suites on wheels", complete with apartment sized washer/dryer, built in heater and A/C, 2 - 4 burner stoves, microwave, water heater, shower, toilet, TV's, laptops, cell phones, DVD players, curling irons, hair dryers, sheets, comforters , a library video games with player and call it camping. These things are camping gear? In what way is this camping? It takes folks several days to pack up each time they go, and by the time they finish packing, it's nearly time to come home so they have enough time to unpack and rest before going back to work. LMBO! Oh well, to each their own, just my opinions, never a judgement! If it makes 'em happy, then have FUN and go for it! (silly grins) I'll bring my tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, small cooler with food, I MUST have my old feather pillow and I can't forget utensils with a skillet, I like cooking over a wood campfire. OH! almost forgot - A couple rolls of the camping TP because no job is finished until the paper- work is done and it's just nice to have, too. (wicked grins) I prefer to have some changes of clothing, camp needs to be set up near a stream or creek to wash up in, a compact mirror to comb my hair and call it good! The RV crowd call it "roughing it", I'm okay with that. LOL Just wanted to share some of my thoughts on "camping", hope it's okay? Rosey, loving life in the boondocks of Freeville!
You’re dinner looks tempting . In fact it made me hungry, so i had to put you on pause so I could get myself something to eat. Not as good as your feast but enough to quiet the tummy squeaks! I enjoyed your story this evening. Thank you for your sharing. 🧐✨
You are pretty dang brave knowing these stories and going camping by yourself. I used to hike a ton by myself and after watching all these Bigfoot and dogman podcasts I am to scared to go by myself now.
What a Beautiful setting !! With the peaceful creek , the pines trees 🌲 and a gorgeous mountains with snow on top , I’m ready to go camping .. cows for a company.. what else you need ?? Thanks Chris for your stories and taking us along !!! 🥾 🏔 🌲 ⛺️ 🏕
1973, definitely can relate, when you mentioned Sears, made think of the catalogs, especially the Christmas ones, Montgomery Ward, Spiegel's, catalog, big thick wish books, I grew up at the foot of the Kings Canyon National park, about 32 miles from Fresno, Giant redwoods, Hume lake, rivers, back in the 70s , good times. Just subscribed, enjoying the stories. Oh yeah, 70s rule, loved that decade.
Wow! Beautiful spot Chris, I just think it's amazing that I can sot of share your camping experiences with you even though I'm thousands of miles away in the UK. Technology is truly awesome!
Another great story thank you! I look forward to a new video from you. Why on earth would you unload your rifle and put it away, then hide in a truck thinking it offers you some form of protection??? Then you piss it off by shining a bright light in it's direction??? You're out there and you're not going anywhere. Start the truck, blast the radio and keep your rifle with you. Do everything you can to project your dominance over what scares you.
I HAVE FUN HEARING ALL THE STORIES AND TO ME SEEM LIKE INTERESTING BUT BUT SCARY TO ME 💕LOVE❤THE WAY YOU SET CAMP AND ESPECIALLY YOUR TENT AND YOUR CHAIR IT'S SEEM HARD IF WERE TO SET UP CAMP AND TENT AND YOUR SITTING CHAIR
The large tent you talked about brought back wonderful memories of my family camping when I was a little girl . My father had a 12 person tent . My father divided it into two rooms with curtains hanging down the middle . One side was kids and the other my parents . It was a blast. My father had all the Coleman amenities. Loved the Coleman stove . We even had a Coleman canvas water bag that had a shower head attachment . 😊
😂😂 I go on my bike and my treadmill when I'm watching your videos and this one here I was walking away on the treadmill and you couldn't pronounce Brewery and I had to put my treadmill to a. Because I was laughing so hard. Maybe watching your videos while I'm on a treadmill is a dangerous move LMFAO😂
Great scary story Chris...I enjoyed this very much .... and nice place to camp and cook and eat and enjoy the nature around us ...thanks for sharing this story and your video.....loved it Chris ..have a great 4 th Chris 🍉🍦🎆🎉🎊🔥🇺🇲💖
I took the kids camping in Colorado out in an area past Deckers, and we went to sleep. Really early in the am I hear this wired crunching sound right outside or tent- I mean like 1 to 2 feet- so I peak outside- and there is a cow standing in the middle camp fire ring munching away on the charcole left from our fire the night before!! I was like you’ve got to be kidding me. Cow was totally happy. Let out a really LOUD mooo,. Cows didn’t really care about us one way or the other. It was pretty funny😂
Happy independence day Chris and followers! I put this video off until tonight because I think this channel is special! Thank you for another fantastic story It's really beautiful there! I grew up in the 70's and we went camping alot here in Texas. Matter of fact, Huntsville State Park was our go to place and there have been lots of Bigfoot stories out of there. I wish we had run into one. Hmm maybe not. Lol
Great to see you back out camping again. I’ve missed the camping and the delicious meals you cook. As always, that was a kewl story you told. Am already looking forward to part 2 of your adventure!
Big fan of Base Camp Chris. Gotta be my favorite video. It's because I love the 1970s camping gear too! A very fun time to be a kid and camp. Oh ! Starting a retro camping line would be fun
These stories are amazing. The forest is so vast and filled with mystery. I'm still surprised that we never caught a bigfoot and it does seem odd that we just don't have "real" evidence of their existence outside of low quality videos and accounts from strange people lol.
Check out the (DNA study) scientific paper titled “Novel North American Hominins, Next Generation Sequencing of Three Whole Genomes and Associated Studies”
I grew up with the old Hurricane lanterns as well as in later years we had the Primus pump up kanterns. Only problem with them was the mantles mostly didn't last as they broke so yes always a ready supply of spares. Stunning campsite Chris with the river backdrop and a nifty canyon area. Looking forward to Part 2 mate. Bushyboy Oz.
My next door neighbor had the Ted Williams tent also, we would set it up on my parents property in the beginning of summer and use it as a fort all summer long. Good times the 70's were.
Beautiful little campground. Loved the stream. I look forward to uour Sunday evening story. Kind of glad there were 🐄 there. Does that mean no bears? Hope you were camping with your girlfriend!
Wow, these hunters must have been terrified! Fascinating story - you got an amazing talent for recounting what happened, the details about the tent, the lantern and the truck make it all come alive! Peanut beer - wow, so interesting, there seems to be a lot of things that can be put into beer, I always thought it was just hops. There is also something from fish that gets added to beer, to improve its appearance. Makes you wonder what you are drinking, lol... I have to say, I'm always glad when your videos get released - not just for the stories but also because that way, we know you are safe and that no Sasquatch has gotten to you. Happy 4th of July everyone!
So I just started watching your channel and I’m hooked. I’m from Texas, actually a really small town Blanket pop 342 and live in the country. I have to say I so enjoy your videos. I usually only see Texas country and hear Texas stories. This camp is kind of of what I see beside the mountain peak. I have lots of hunting and back woods stories but none like these. I guess Bigfoot doesn’t like the Texas climate or landscape. Lol. Anyways enjoy these so much! Keep on! And stay safe.
Not lying when I say that Chris has got to be the bravest guy I never met...Lol...He's alone, at night, in the woods, in the mountains where all of the Sasquatch encounters take place and telling these scary stories about real people that have had real experiences. whether it be hearing a Big Foot or actually seeing one...I would be scared to death...I absolutely could NEVER do this...Not even if I was in my own backyard with a couple of trees and bushes...My imagination would be running wild with every leaf that rustled....😮
Love the way you throw that tent up. I reckon you've done that before! Liked and yes I subscribed tonight, although my computer naturally looks for you on it's own, now! lol. Great story and the beer looked real nice. Love to you and yours from Englands south coast. No Bigfoots here. That's where you come in! Thanks for the entertainment, brave Buddy.
Now wouldn’t it be something if you’re fortunate enough to have your own first hand account of encountering that force in the middle of the night ! Thanks for the post !
I was 6 in 1973 but camping was part of my childhood. I remember a few trips up in the Stanislaus Area....lived in California til 83. Anyway, I am enjoying your channel.
You probably already know but, I have to say it. When you put the new Coleman Mantels on, you are supposed to light them with a match and let them burn completely before you turn the gas on.

Ah the good old days when tents weighed about 100 pounds and took hours to set up. Thanks for the new video Chris.
Exactly...do not get the old canvas tent wet....could take a week to dry out.
I remember treating the old canvas tents with a water repellent. Had to brush it on. Our family camped all the time.

Hello 👋 Chris, thank you for sharing another thrilling episode from Base Camp 🏕 Chris Mystery Theater. Your stories are getting more exciting. Your stories Remind me of weekend camping 🏕 with my Dad in Northern California during the 70s. On Saturday evening. I would tune to a radio station KSL in Salt Lake City and listen to E.G. Marshall's
Mystery Theater. Those were fun times. Take good care of yourself and keep those great stories coming along. 🤗
Boy, does that Coleman lantern take me back. The suds, the meal, the story, the location - I love it all. Does the peanut butter stout taste of peanut butter at all? Happy hiking, Chris!
We enjoy your stories Chris. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing once again,love,love your channel.
Thanks Chris for another great story. Keep them coming. Cheers!!
Thanks, will do!
Great Story Chris. You do a Great Job of Painting a Picture of the Story when you tell one. Can’t wait for the next one.👍👍
Thanks 👍
I've hunted central and north Idaho a number of times, including the Payette National Forest, Yellowpine, Elk City, the St. Joe River drainage, Middle Fork of the Salmon River, and the Frank Church wilderness (so designated by Congress in 1980). It IS rugged country to be sure. Strange sights and sounds abound in those regions. Great story this edition. Stay safe out there.
WOW Chris, showing those Coleman mantels just gave me some warm & fuzzy flashbacks! I am a just little tiny bit older than you, but the memories are pretty much the same. My grandparents even had a fold out camper. I was not interested in sleeping in it, I wanted my tent! I used to make comments like; "Why go camping when you are just bringing everything from home, anyway?" Golly I was such a mouthy 10 yr old!!! LOL I'd get the back of my deserving head "popped" more than a time or a few! (chuckling)
It cracks me up when people take their "mobile hotel suites on wheels", complete with apartment sized washer/dryer, built in heater and A/C, 2 - 4 burner stoves, microwave, water heater, shower, toilet, TV's, laptops, cell phones, DVD players, curling irons, hair dryers, sheets, comforters , a library video games with player and call it camping. These things are camping gear? In what way is this camping? It takes folks several days to pack up each time they go, and by the time they finish packing, it's nearly time to come home so they have enough time to unpack and rest before going back to work. LMBO!
Oh well, to each their own, just my opinions, never a judgement! If it makes 'em happy, then have FUN and go for it! (silly grins) I'll bring my tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, small cooler with food, I MUST have my old feather pillow and I can't forget utensils with a skillet, I like cooking over a wood campfire. OH! almost forgot - A couple rolls of the camping TP because no job is finished until the paper- work is done and it's just nice to have, too. (wicked grins) I prefer to have some changes of clothing, camp needs to be set up near a stream or creek to wash up in, a compact mirror to comb my hair and call it good! The RV crowd call it "roughing it", I'm okay with that. LOL
Just wanted to share some of my thoughts on "camping", hope it's okay? Rosey, loving life in the boondocks of Freeville!
You’re dinner looks tempting . In fact it made me hungry, so i had to put you on pause so I could get myself something to eat. Not as good as your feast but enough to quiet the tummy squeaks! I enjoyed your story this evening. Thank you for your sharing. 🧐✨
FYI Chevy pickups back then we're C10, C20 and C30. Half, 3/4 and 1 ton. Good story telling.
All the cool stuff from the 70s and the super spooky story! That was amazing. Thank you!
You are pretty dang brave knowing these stories and going camping by yourself. I used to hike a ton by myself and after watching all these Bigfoot and dogman podcasts I am to scared to go by myself now.
What a Beautiful setting !! With the peaceful creek , the pines trees 🌲 and a gorgeous mountains with snow on top , I’m ready to go camping .. cows for a company.. what else you need ?? Thanks Chris for your stories and taking us along !!! 🥾 🏔 🌲 ⛺️ 🏕
Payette National Forest ~ our old stomping grounds 2003-05 while my husband was stationed 3 hours south at Mtn. Home AFB, Idaho. Beautiful country!
1973, definitely can relate, when you mentioned Sears, made think of the catalogs, especially the Christmas ones, Montgomery Ward, Spiegel's, catalog, big thick wish books, I grew up at the foot of the Kings Canyon National park, about 32 miles from Fresno, Giant redwoods, Hume lake, rivers, back in the 70s , good times. Just subscribed, enjoying the stories.
Oh yeah, 70s rule, loved that decade.
Love listening to your stories and watching your adventures!
Love from Scotland 🏴
Wow I don't know how you can talked about scary stuff in the middle of the forest at night. I already get goosebumps in the house already..
Wow! Beautiful spot Chris, I just think it's amazing that I can sot of share your camping experiences with you even though I'm thousands of miles away in the UK. Technology is truly awesome!
Another great story thank you! I look forward to a new video from you. Why on earth would you unload your rifle and put it away, then hide in a truck thinking it offers you some form of protection??? Then you piss it off by shining a bright light in it's direction??? You're out there and you're not going anywhere. Start the truck, blast the radio and keep your rifle with you. Do everything you can to project your dominance over what scares you.
Awesome part 1 Chris, really enjoyed this one, thanks for taking us along. Sam
your personality is so awesome!!!! love your channel!!!!....regards from Panamá.
I HAVE FUN HEARING ALL THE STORIES AND TO ME SEEM LIKE INTERESTING BUT BUT SCARY TO ME 💕LOVE❤THE WAY YOU SET CAMP AND ESPECIALLY YOUR TENT AND YOUR CHAIR IT'S SEEM HARD IF WERE TO SET UP CAMP AND TENT AND YOUR SITTING CHAIR
Another great tale. Campsite looks awesome. Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks 👍
Great story. I have to tell , I laughed so hard when you were throwing things in the tent. I needed that, haven't laughed in days.
Love, LOVE it. You have no idea how your videos help me. Thank you Chris.
I love when Chris says, “That’s next. “ hahah that’s how you know it’s gonna be a good one.
Both hunters realizing their guns were no match for what they were hearing caused their next actions-- get near and in the truck! Saved them, maybe.
GREAT. CAMPING.
Thank you Mark!! Keep Hiking!
Keep the Sunday night enjoyment coming!
In one of your earlier stories you said a lone camper saw a black figure jumping from boulder to boulder extremely fast down a slope. Creepy.
What a beautiful location this will make a real nice camp site, and you are a very accomplished camper
I injoy every video this channel has. I get happy when a new video comes out .
Happy to hear that!
@@basecampchris your awesome. You inspire me to go camping more. I watched the videos with my family and we love them. thank you so much .
I LOVE the SEARS, Ted tent! It’s absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing this amazing story.
The large tent you talked about brought back wonderful memories of my family camping when I was a little girl . My father had a 12 person tent . My father divided it into two rooms with curtains hanging down the middle . One side was kids and the other my parents . It was a blast.
My father had all the Coleman amenities. Loved the Coleman stove . We even had a Coleman canvas water bag that had a shower head attachment . 😊
😂😂 I go on my bike and my treadmill when I'm watching your videos and this one here I was walking away on the treadmill and you couldn't pronounce Brewery and I had to put my treadmill to a. Because I was laughing so hard. Maybe watching your videos while I'm on a treadmill is a dangerous move LMFAO😂
Yes! Story and camp cook, love it👍
Great scary story Chris...I enjoyed this very much .... and nice place to camp and cook and eat and enjoy the nature around us ...thanks for sharing this story and your video.....loved it Chris ..have a great 4 th Chris 🍉🍦🎆🎉🎊🔥🇺🇲💖
Great story-especially with that total darkness behind you!😵💫😬
Thanks for listening
Man, you certainly know how to stretch a story out! Great video.
I took the kids camping in Colorado out in an area past Deckers, and we went to sleep. Really early in the am I hear this wired crunching sound right outside or tent- I mean like 1 to 2 feet- so I peak outside- and there is a cow standing in the middle camp fire ring munching away on the charcole left from our fire the night before!! I was like you’ve got to be kidding me. Cow was totally happy. Let out a really LOUD mooo,. Cows didn’t really care about us one way or the other. It was pretty funny😂
Happy independence day Chris and followers! I put this video off until tonight because I think this channel is special! Thank you for another fantastic story
It's really beautiful there!
I grew up in the 70's and we went camping alot here in Texas. Matter of fact, Huntsville State Park was our go to place and there have been lots of Bigfoot stories out of there. I wish we had run into one. Hmm maybe not. Lol
Thank you Chris, for giving me a giggle at the start after a very trying day!
Great to see you back out camping again. I’ve missed the camping and the delicious meals you cook. As always, that was a kewl story you told. Am already looking forward to part 2 of your adventure!
Im.a 70s kid, too, Chris I totally agree, the 70s was the best time to grow up. Music, clothes, the whole 9.
Big fan of Base Camp Chris. Gotta be my favorite video. It's because I love the 1970s camping gear too! A very fun time to be a kid and camp. Oh ! Starting a retro camping line would be fun
These stories are amazing. The forest is so vast and filled with mystery. I'm still surprised that we never caught a bigfoot and it does seem odd that we just don't have "real" evidence of their existence outside of low quality videos and accounts from strange people lol.
Not just "strange" people, lots of reliable normal people have seen them. See stories by How to Hunt, etc..

Check out the (DNA study) scientific paper titled “Novel North American Hominins, Next Generation Sequencing of Three Whole Genomes and Associated Studies”
Is it me or was there a WHISTLE at 11:12?😳 Chris, love your channel. Thank you!👍🏼👋🏼🏕
And the eye shine to his right?😮
One of my favorite meals is salmon with asparagus. Not to mention a good beer to go with it.
Me too
I grew up with the old Hurricane lanterns as well as in later years we had the Primus pump up kanterns. Only problem with them was the mantles mostly didn't last as they broke so yes always a ready supply of spares. Stunning campsite Chris with the river backdrop and a nifty canyon area. Looking forward to Part 2 mate. Bushyboy Oz.
Those mantles break if you bump the lamp. I still have one of those lamps and a pack of spare mantles.
We had that same tent when I was a kid brought back memories seeing it
My next door neighbor had the Ted Williams tent also, we would set it up on my parents property in the beginning of summer and use it as a fort all summer long. Good times the 70's were.
Thanks for incorporating a overnighter with a cool story. Keep hiking Chris 😊
Beautiful little campground. Loved the stream. I look forward to uour Sunday evening story. Kind of glad there were 🐄 there. Does that mean no bears? Hope you were camping with your girlfriend!
🇨🇦yeah! Just when I need an excuse to sit down and have a break🇨🇦🌞
Hahahahahah...you're too funny. That is hard to say isn't it ? I'm so glad I found your channel and began .listening to these stories people write.
Thanks Chris, have a great 4th brother.
I'm pretty sure you have to put some salt in with the gun powder of your bullets for cryptids.
You forgot to say blessing at dinner.
I can see why you like that tent I saw your video with the high winds. A great tent.
The hunters I know would never give up their firearms, especially when danger was thought to be present. Great storytelling.
Wow, these hunters must have been terrified! Fascinating story - you got an amazing talent for recounting what happened, the details about the tent, the lantern and the truck make it all come alive!
Peanut beer - wow, so interesting, there seems to be a lot of things that can be put into beer, I always thought it was just hops. There is also something from fish that gets added to beer, to improve its appearance. Makes you wonder what you are drinking, lol...
I have to say, I'm always glad when your videos get released - not just for the stories but also because that way, we know you are safe and that no Sasquatch has gotten to you.
Happy 4th of July everyone!
So I just started watching your channel and I’m hooked. I’m from Texas, actually a really small town Blanket pop 342 and live in the country. I have to say I so enjoy your videos. I usually only see Texas country and hear Texas stories.
This camp is kind of of what I see beside the mountain peak.
I have lots of hunting and back woods stories but none like these. I guess Bigfoot doesn’t like the Texas climate or landscape. Lol.
Anyways enjoy these so much! Keep on! And stay safe.
Not lying when I say that Chris has got to be the bravest guy I never met...Lol...He's alone, at night, in the woods, in the mountains where all of the Sasquatch encounters take place and telling these scary stories about real people that have had real experiences. whether it be hearing a Big Foot or actually seeing one...I would be scared to death...I absolutely could NEVER do this...Not even if I was in my own backyard with a couple of trees and bushes...My imagination would be running wild with every leaf that rustled....😮
👀🌲🦉👍
What a beautiful place to hike and camp!
Love the way you throw that tent up. I reckon you've done that before! Liked and yes I subscribed tonight, although my computer naturally looks for you on it's own, now! lol. Great story and the beer looked real nice. Love to you and yours from Englands south coast. No Bigfoots here. That's where you come in! Thanks for the entertainment, brave Buddy.
I love your content!
Now wouldn’t it be something if you’re fortunate enough to have your own first hand account of encountering that force in the middle of the night !
Thanks for the post !
He has a video sharing his own experience. Look it up.
@@hallorican ya but he hadn't SEEN it yet
I was 6 in 1973 but camping was part of my childhood. I remember a few trips up in the Stanislaus Area....lived in California til 83. Anyway, I am enjoying your channel.
Hey Chris, really enjoy your videos. I’d love to see a fly fishing video from you sometime!
