I lived in Trout Lake for 27 years, worked for the Forest Service for 13 of them. I've found bigfoot tracks, heard them and most significantly smelled them. My husband found a bigfoot bed in a cave very near to Dead Horse. We've had multiple UFO sightings. Saw the prints in Goose Lake. Searched for lost people. But the biggest mystery about the Big Lava Bed were the shoes we found while out patroling. Women's shoes, 24 of them in different sizes, states of wear, all either open toed and/or open heeled, thrown in two directions from a structure that resembled an alter, with 8 pairs represented. We gathered them up with alarm and presented them to the law enforcement slacker, who said "Did you ever think of this? Kids." The end of investigation. Funny. We never thought of kids.

Any evidence of ancient humans that don’t fit the “6,000 years” bubble gets buried! I’m in Oregon and you hear things

I know Grouse love snow berries. Almost every Ruffed grouse I kill has a crop stuffed with snow berries.

That was my biggest fear while climbing through the pearly gates. I was barely hanging onto the slope with two ice axes dug in and my partner was shedding ice down onto me from above. It was thrilling but a fall there is easily a broken ankle at the minimum

Climb mount hood! I went up the pearly gates via the south side. I had lots of ice hitting me in the helmet. Just wait until they get further up. Or you can take the old chute to the left

I’ve hiked alone in Olympic peninsula. Climbed Whitney alone 3 times. I don’t bring a PLB. But I know my route and use gps. I’ve always came back. Hiking alone in itself is not inherently risky. However a guy was crushed by a boulder on Mount Whitney a week after I was in that exact same spot. I have had falling rocks coming at me before. It is scary.

As an outdoorsman, hiker, backpacker, peakbagger, mountain climber, this was a really good video. Thanks for making it!

This is my backyard..

I have found many lava tubes around Mt. S.t. Helen's, not ape Cave. Most of the lava tubes were under ground rivers before lava took over. I found a river underground in one of the caves, walked up it a ways

Nikia, I think of you often & this case. I hope you are doing okay.

She is a Starseed. Her star family took her back home to the stars. It's that simple. This happens a lot in National Parks.

Hope all is going well for you and your family. They recently found two skulls in the area where Kristopher was lost. One of them is assumed to have been him. An update video when the remains are identified would be informative. Perhaps you could include John from the SAR team? I’ve been watching the whole playlist about your search for Kristopher. Thanks for the videos I enjoy watching them hopefully his family will gain some closure if it is him they found.

This was awesome, beautiful, thank you!

👏👏👏

I missed u ...Right on

They finally found him .. I hope you're doing well Nikia . I miss your uploads

What flashlight are you carrying in the video thanks! I might get a Fenix TK05R... For the tactical side switch n the strobe.

I just did the hot water. I can’t tolerate super hot but you have to try to just go a little hotter. I totally didn’t think it would work. All the comments saying how amazing it was, I was super skeptical. It was amazing. So much relief

Having been part of a private party search for a missing boy scout, before the Sheriffs would even respond; I'm proud to say that with the help of those available & willing the lost lad was safely found after 4 hours of searching & 1 hour before dark in a wilderness area. Enough said.

Hey did you hear they found Kristopher’s remains❤

11 years later. His remains have been found, August 15, 2024, his skull was found and Identified. Glad there is now closure for the family.

Kristopher Zitzewitz’s remains have been found!

They are what you call the Reffime look up proper spelling or the children of the giants of old.

THEY JUST FOUND HIM

It appears a hiker/explorer may have discovered his remains. I did my own video doing an excursion into the Big Lava Bed a couple months ago. The GPS does not work in that area. There are several terrain features that are dangerous for falls and injuries. You need to be in good physical shape to go deep into that area and have some outdoor experience, I would not go back into that area again unless I had a hiking partner. I had a very weird feeling/vibe in that area also.

I worked with Kris a long time ago, 2003-2004. Fond memories, good guy.

HUMAN REMAINS LOCATED IN EASTERN SKAMANIA COUNTY 08/22/2024 - On 08/10/2024, a hiker recreating in the Big Lava Bed, located within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in eastern Skamania County reported locating human remains. The hiker found a human skull and captured the G.P.S. coordinates of the location. A deputy responded to the location the next day but was unable to locate the skull reported. The hiker volunteered to return to the area, accompanied by a Skamania County Sergeant, and the skull was recovered on 08/15/2024. Based on the preliminary investigation, it is believed the remains belong to a hiker that went missing in 2013. The missing hiker was last observed in the Big Lava Bed and, after numerous coordinated search efforts, was never located. The skull, along with other remains located in the area, was transported to the Clark County Medical Examiner's Office for definitive identification. This is an on-going investigation and no risk to the public has been identified.

Looks like they may have found his remains on 8/15/24

I just had it 5 days-- bad--- what worked best was using poison ivy soap then dawn detergent- food lion spray calamine--worked good

I have them on and around my farm in northeast tennessee,near the cumberland river.28 years is how long i have been here,and they were here back then slapping the house wanting some treats.

I've had episodes of poison ivy for over 60 years. Mostly as a kid playing army in the woods with friends at which point, we became the blister brigade covered in calamine lotion. Hot water feels amazing on poison ivy as i learned as a kid.

POISON IVY DOES NOT SPREAD!!!!! this has been debunked time and time again. Scratching it doesn’t spread it water doesn’t spread it.

Sorry for your loss❤

Hot water and poping the blisters, then spraying with alcohol or peroxide is how ive always dealt with poison ivy. And you're right nothing feels better than hot water hitting the rash

Wow interesting stuff! Feel bad for whoever those prints belonged to getting caught in a lava flow

So wow this was great. Put the hot water on it touched my skin where there was No poison ivy. Almost backed out… but then it hit the poison ivy and oh my it felt fantastic and the itch was gone! Thanks so much for this!

I grew up in southern Oregon. Near the coast it was just like that terrain. Extremely brushy thick wet dense. Steep ferns as high as your head Douglas fir and Redwoods several hundreds of feet tall

My friend said hot water spreads it lol

Why in the world has no one mentioned the plant called jewel weed it is the .ost calmi g mira ulous cure of poison Ivy . Its a mysterious plant that stays cool to the touch and has tiny orange flowers. The leaves should be heated in hot water, and applied to the rash . It is so soothing! Nature created this for poison ivy and that is what is in poison ivy soap.probably what guy in article used And nature provides another interesting fact. It happens to be foun d growing close to poison Ivy ! e juice d W

Ivy rashes are some of the worse things ever

My husband has it all over even his buttocks . Just when he thought it was almost better it spread. Tried prednisone finished the treatment but it spread

your wife or boyfrend?!
