Camping Mystery & Tragedy 10/12/2024 Moose Creek, MT

[@goal1300]

So heartbreaking for the family & friends. As an avid, female wilderness camper, this is very concerning!! Thank you for sharing this twice. Praying for justice…

[@tammyhollandsworth6783]

I use to think that once I retired I’d love to go camping. Seems like it’s just not safe anymore. Thank you for sharing more information on this case. I sure hope they find this person that took his life. I feel so bad for him and his family.

[@wandaritter5704]

Dude

[@pi-sx3mb]

Same. Retired 18 months ago and pictured myself just striking out on day trips or maybe short overnights. I really don't have the desire anymore because the societal respect and decency we used to take for granted has just been shredded. Even carrying a weapon doesn't do much good if you get ambushed.

[@tamisullivan8548]

Same here😔

[@gasstationpeanuts1814]

This is absurd, millions of people camp each year without incident, you’re just watching a channel dedicated to covering the few cases where things go awry. I’ve been on thousands of solo camps and never had any trouble, except with raccoons taking my food in the middle of the night a couple years ago lol.

[@Spartan-Of-Truth]

Get out there! Lol. Just carry and stay aware. Stay ready. Lastly, enjoy.

[@Jennifer-sw6ge]

Just read that a suspect is in custody and has led police to items mentioned in previous press release! Prayers work! ❤

[@ricg.4435]

Amen!

[@staysea71]

Thankful for the police and their experience.

[@YolandaPullman]

That is IF this info is reliable. We hope it is❤

[@elizabethmarshall3558]

Yup. Just saw that in nearby Missoula. He was already in custody on unrelated charges. Thank heavens.

[@markpaul-ym5wg]

RIGHT.They framed someone for it,if in fact the info is true.

[@Annex-x1g]

Thank you for doing this video! This case really is a nightmare:( I would be scared if I lived there.. At least wouldn't want to go camping alone. Hopefully they catch the quilty!

[@bawattsyl]

Thank you for watching! I hope they catch the person or people soon! Definitely is scary!

[@tacticalsweater5119]

They caught the individual on unrelated charges, but haven't yet released their identity.

[@yoyomi]

There are some very sick individuals in our society. Some people kill for the sick thrill of it. It's either someone he knew or a random act by a psycho. I pray they find this person. Families and singles need to be aware in any forests or woods and take some kind of protection. I wish our World wasn't like this but unfortunately it is. I send my condolences to anyone & everyone that knew and loved Dustin, I am so sorry for your loss.

[@yoyomi]

@@tacticalsweater5119 I just saw that. Omg.

[@journeysalkebulan]

People are killed almost everywhere in the world so you must be scared to live in this world. 🤔

New viewers, please subscribe, Bryan donates and had participated in Search and Rescue. Bryan had a very rough time in the past year with Lyme disease. He still posted videos then. Bryan sounds so healthy today and seems ready for more outside activities. 😊 Let's support his work.

[@bawattsyl]

@@MomtoMrOreo thank you so much for all your awesome support and continued positive feedback! I really appreciate it 🙏 yes! Next year I hope to go out west for 3 months.. I'm not sure of the exact plan yet.. I hope to cover cold cases and also help on any current cases.. (working both in the field) Thank you again! and have a great week!

[@MomtoMrOreo]

@bawattsyl Nice, I live in the PNW. Keep up your health first. You are very welcome.

@@gumballrun9881look this guy is top drawer. He wouldn’t do such a thing buy subs. If he did it would have happened long before now. This channel has earned every sub I can assure you. Have more faith in some people.

[@terrenceseymour]

KZbin analytics change at different rates from my own experience. Sometimes my videos show 10 likes and 4 views sort of thing within minutes of uploading. Or it will show different numbers on my page to on youtube studio app and even within different parts of studio. I doubt hes buying subs. ​@gumballrun9881

[@trutlenemo]

Absolutely HEARTBREAKING..🙏🙏🙏

[@coleensouther7152]

I am continuously amazed at the brutality of some people. To snuff out this young man’s life in such a brutal way there has to be justice for this precious family.

[@bawattsyl]

It really is shocking! And scary to think that there are people that can do such horrible things 😞 I hope and pray they are caught soon🙏thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts 🙏

[@runningwater7873]

No one pays attention simply don't go to the woods alone..

[@YahushasDisciple]

While I would not rule a human out, I think you all here are thinking with a narrow mind. There are possibilities that will sound wild, but trust me, things besides humans exist out there. Take a look (with an open mind) into Dogman. There is so much evidence. With thousands of reports yearly. The government, park rangers, military, are all very aware of this.

[@elizabethebbighausen9341]

Thank you for the update and info. This case makes me think of the Australian case of the couple who went camping and were brutally killed by another camper who got mad about the drone the man from the couple had and was flying around the other campsites. It's certainly possible it was a stranger that was either mentally ill (think of the Appalachian Trail killer) or that ended up having beef with or some other senseless motive against Dustin. Like the case of a young man going fishing with his friends; on the way he stopped to buy some supplies and a bunch of awful guys saw him in the store and followed him to where he met up with his friends and savagely killed all of them. I get the psychology behind the assessment of it being a targeted attack, but it could still be a stranger that targeted him. Regardless, it's horrific and tragic all the way around. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. Thanks again for the upload and all of your hard work, Bryan. P.S. Count me in on the giveaway, please. Thank you and bless you!

[@bawattsyl]

Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts! Yes, it is similar to the case in Australia.. but in that case there was someone camping next to them and they caught up with him fairly quickly.. but still awful:( it was all over noise and a drone.. crazy! Hopefully the person or people that did this are caught soon🙏 you're all set for the giveaway!

[@elizabethebbighausen9341]

@bawattsyl Absolutely. I pray justice comes quickly and Dustin's family can start to heal. 💜

So sad. He looks like such a nice guy. Rip 🙏🙏

Thanks for keeping this tragedy at the forefront. My thoughts and prayers to the family, especially to his wife and his sister We live in idaho and are always in the outdoors, so it's very concerning to all. Sounds like somebody with a big grudge. Jealousy, money. It'd be pretty freaking weird if it was just a random Psychopath. Protect yourselfThe ones you love the best you can.

[@nate_d376]

As a side note, Brian, you are really doing great videos now! For the family: our prayers go out to you.

[@louleebelle6164]

So sorry for your loss. It's just not safe anymore to camp or hike alone! So many are disappearing or hurt.

Hi Bryan, My heart breaks hearing about what happened to Dustin while he was out camping. I really hope and pray that they catch this monster so that Dustin's family will get justice and so it won't happen to someone else! My heart goes out to Jillian and her family, I pray that they will be able to have peace and comfort and may Dustin rest in peace 🙏🕊️. Hope all is well with you! Have a good rest of your week!

[@helgabruin2261]

Dear Lord!! Of all your videos, this is sadly the most tragic.

[@Farcamp1]

Heart goes out to the family. One wouldn't think things like this could happen in such a remote, beautiful place. Thanks for your hard work in presenting these stories in the most compassionate way possible. You make a real difference in how real people's stories are perceived in a kind, non-sensational, but comprehensive way.

[@bawattsyl]

It really is so devastating 😢 when I heard his sister's interview, it was heartbreaking. She wanted people to share Dustin's story more and get the facts out there.. that was my catalyst for making this Video..hopefully the people or person responsible will be caught soon🙏🙏Thank you for watching and your feedback! Have a good week!

[@Farcamp1]

@@bawattsyl you, too!

[@breadandcircus1]

Has Dustin's friend that he was supposed to meet next day, has been interviewed by Police? Somebody KNEW where Dustin was going to and surprised him killing him. Surely in the middle of the night. Dustin had no time to defend himself. This is horrific. I feel so sorry for him. May his soul Rest in Peace.

[@Snarf_Le_Wombat]

I feel like it has to be a male lover of an ex girlfriend who did a hit or a random stalker criminal drifter crime of opportunity. Lugging around an orange Yeti is wild, but if it was full of beer and provisions for a hermit...

[@DrRachie]

Congrats on 100k, Bryan! Great work!

[@louisesilverstein2152]

Just wanted to do a call out for CO-AG. The music is so subtle and in keeping with what you are saying I forget about it until you mention the background music acknowledging CO-AG. It really adds to your content, and has a slightly uneasy feeling to it.

[@Firefy29]

I was still thinking about his case and wondering. ;Thank you for all the details. I can't believe the person is still on the lose:( I pray he is found soon!

[@just_vetty]

Did the best friend tell anyone he was meeting him out there? If so, it could be someone who knew he was alone and knew the friend was not going out there till the next day?

[@paulajensen3664]

Scary, I live only about 3 hrs from there in Idaho, but this reads either psycho or someone he knew that knew where he would be, probably knew the area as well or followed him there. Some people commented on the guns he had to just go camping. I'm from MT originally and there and here in ID, we never go camping - anything out in the country, woods, etc without a firearm or 2- just the way it is here. But that being said, this is incredibly tragic, awful! I feel so bad for his family and hope this person is found soon! Thank you for this video Bryan!

[@masonstruckadventure9368]

Back In October I was stalked while dispersed camping. I always explore my surroundings and saw no signs of other camp areas or trails so knew or thought I was alone until I was ready to o to sleep and just as look out the window because I truck camp. I saw flashlight from 200 yards in a area where I was 100% certain no one could be there. I had no protection, and there's no signal to make a call. My gut told me time to leave. Because of that encounter, I take protection. It's not animals it's people you have watch out for. This sounds like he was being watched and was attacked when he was most vulnerable. I hope they find the killer. Prayers go out to the family. Thanks for sharing

[@pdxdude6428]

So scary, such evil out there. RIP Bro...😢

[@bawattsyl]

What an autrocity for this family, I'm so sorry this happened, thanks for covering this Brian.

[@jfj794]

Need to always have a dog who will alert and protect when out like this. Need to be awaken in time to draw weapon and never camp like this unarmed. This is so tragic and most likely someone in the area close by who heard/saw him entering the area or someone who knew where he was going did this. No one stumbled in the campsite IMO.

In MY moments of survival, the thought of a human contact was actually something I was looking for. Even if your armed bring a dog or something im just glad I wasn't messed with but damn what a sad story.

[@latinking9793]

Hi Bryan I just watched the video about Dustin & I totally agree with you, I think who ever Killed this young loving father knew him & had possibly followed him . From the moment he left from where he was at to the camping site, & watched him for awhile and waited for the right time to sneak into, his camp site to attack him, kill him & take his property for some reason but I don't know why someone would want to Harm him. But I do believe they followed him all the way to his camping site & just waited for the perfect time to attack him & they could have thrown his stolen Property into a nearby river to get rid of it just my opinion my name is Brave I live in California but I do believe they had some personal reason or anger against him for some personal reason.
