Camping Trip Gone Wrong | Bigfoot: The Road to Discovery

[@joec.9591]

Never, ever, ever - and I mean NEVER - ignore your gut when you re out in the wild. We have those senses for a reason, so if they speak up make sure you listen! I learned that lesson the hard way. Another great video, Eli!

😮 I say that same exact thing all the time, in the woods or not, instinct is nature's protection from danger and modern people are quick to ignore and laugh at "gut feeling".

I have one complaint. These episodes are never long enough! Nice work as always.

[@lynnt5096]

I'm amazed how these people can go into the woods after seeing a bigfoot. I saw one when i was 14, and now I'm 62, and i would never ever go into the woods after i saw one. The fear of these things will never go away. Good luck to the researchers.

[@tonyf.8858]

lynnt, where did you see it? I saw Sasquatch when I was 16 and now I'm 70. It would be crazy if it were in the same area! Near Enumclaw, WA.

[@lynnt5096]

@@tonyf.8858 I lived at 405 north 5th st Vandalia Illinois. Walking up the front steps the window to the right is the window I looked out and had a face to face encounter. Across the street is a creek that leads out to the kaskaski River. if you go to Creek Devil episode 39 on KZbin I share what happened

[@rogerstuckey55]

Another great episode of STM! The Bigfoot series is absolutely the best. Great up close interviews with some of the best researchers . Thank you Eli and STM, keep these kind of episodes coming.

[@Mach19760]

I know it takes a hell of a lot of work that y'all do to make these videos. I'm 65 now and my encounter happened in Evergreen CO in 1977. Until The Tube came along I forgot about it, kinda. See I joined the Navy 2 weeks later, so it was pushed back in my mind. You've busy as shit the first 3 months of boot and going to Italy 3 months after that. When I came across Sasquatch Chronicles and talked to Wes, great dude. But I just didn't get some questions answered. So I talked to Steve HTH and he turned me on to Scott Carpenter RIP. I guess in a way I'm lucky, but when I hear of others experience, it helps. Thanks STM I appreciate the work. Oh by the way, F the Haters!

[@Columbiagorgekayaker541]

My dad and I had a sighting on our property in North Ridgefield not too far from Battle Ground of a Sasquatch walking across the field in the evening and then he disappeared when he entered the woods, this happened in the early seventies

👋Eli, watched this last night and earlier today saw you on with Aaron STM Live .... I generally don't ask questions but prefer to hear guest & Aaron talk. Tonight I am watching the video for a 2nd time. I appreciate in which you present your interviews and footage of the sasquatch researchers and manner in which your boots on the ground right along with them conducting their data on this elusive Sasquatch Bigfoot. Also, presenting Rebecca's contributions in the fact of being one of the boys carring her weight out there in the woods collecting data and filming-a very humble young lady, thank you for presenting that💯👍 You & Alek have great presentations with your videos as well as informative history on your topics. 👏👏👏🙂

WOW. I have always described the vocalization during my encounter as an elephant trumpeting with a lion roaring, I've never heard anybody else use that likeness until now. And then David said that his librarian's name was Mrs. Holcombe and that was my librarians name too LMAO!!!

If u listen to Sasquatch chronicles I have heard about 100 plus people say that exact same lion and elephant wow it’s so intresting to see all the random people have the same description just lets me know it’s real so cool

Finally, I have been waiting. Y'all need to watch their recent documentary because it was awesome and worth it.❤❤❤💯💯

[@RichardGofourth]

so is this stuff really true ,just asking because there's so many sites that's bullcrap ..

[@NoWarwithBigfoot]

​@RichardGofourth It's definitely true. There's so much prove out there and do you really think that all the hundreds of thousands of people are all liars who tell their encounters?? Ghosts, Dogman, aliens, wendigos ect are all real, you just have to do some serious research and you will see. It's mind blowing and all cultures throughout history are talking, writing or painting about it.

[@tombold8409]

Of course it's true. There are some hoaxes.

Just for safety sake if you come to a fork in the road and take the one less traveled make sure you have a personal locator on you and plenty of water, food and gear incase you get lost and need help. Sometimes popular sayings are not to be followed for safety sake. Other than that go hiking it is good for you.

A thank you for interviewing Rebekah Slick for her personal account while hiking along a trail in the night with a friend and her sharing how all the stories prior to that experience got her motivated to keep accurate recordkeeping for the Olympic Project. Look forward to seeing the follow-up for this series.

[@davidwright1728]

I had a sighting in the Huron National Forest in Michigan it ran in front of my truck about a quarter mile ahead of me I marked a big tree where it crossed the road in front of me and sped up it crossed the road in 2 steps I stopped at that tree and pulled my 9 mil out but it was no where to be seen It just disappeared into thin air... I've been a believer ever since. Truth.

[@tynosille6747]

Tom slick was a true pioneer in the bigfoot field. I wonder if we would now understand the bigfoot question had Tom slick not been took from this world way to early in a plane crash. He had both the drive and the means to devote his life to the bigfoot field.

[@ToriMoffitt-nx8sc]

I think they make use of the trees just as much as the ground, which could explain why so many people talk about how they either don’t hear them approach or don’t hear them leave 🤷🏻‍♀️👍

This subject is as profound as the UFO enigma and one of the most important of our modern times. Nothing but a body to catalog and record for further study and aurhentication will do. No more anecdotes; images; short unclear films, footprint casts, etc., etc. A body or bust. Period.

[@InfernalUrukhai]

Hi , I have a suggestion for you all at STM & OMP. Could you get 100-150 people ,volunteers to go to the nest area and then all 150 people spread themselves apart by 50 metres and walk a distance of 10 miles? Do this for two - three days and with that volume of people spread across 23 kilometres across the 3 days and see if anything is seen or found? It’s worth a shot and if walking with that many people across a large expanse and for that distance if you flush Sasquatch or Sasquatches out some one may see or get a video or photo of one of these undiscovered animals? Many thanks Rich

[@Handpicked1971]

Never camp in the woods w/o a firearm. It amazes me how many camp unarmed, putting themselves in unnecessary danger. Whether a Sasquatch, Mountain Lion or Bear, they’re all dangerous and you just never know.

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

Has any bigfoot researchers thought about compiling an audio recordings database? Put as many bigfoot audio clips in a central library so they can be cataloged, compared, and cross-referenced?

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

P.S. This would require considerable cooperation between all the various different research organizations. That might be a problem. But it could greatly enhance knowledge and research.

[@lrich299]

[@HollyBerryDOOG]

They have pretty much proved the Yeti is a Himalayan bear. It’s definitely not an upright walking ape. Bigfoot or Sasquatch is something else.

[@dextermorgan1]

Who "proved" it? When?

[@bradiethomson9555]

That noise at 41:36 sounds like crow to me or raven.?

[@giuseppemartino9783]

Everything must have a meaning. I think knocking is a warning to the other Sasquatches that someone is in the forest. Whistling maybe they are saying more than one person is in the area. Rock clacking is maybe a bad warning to get some more Sasquatches to come.? Everything must have a meaning 😅

[@stevenhall8964]

Ivan T. Sanderson's Abominable Snowman Legend come to life, was my Bigfoot Bible when I was a teenager, at the time it seemed like any other books I could find on the subject seemed like they were targeted towards children rather then adults. Or they were just recounting of other people's encounters usually starting with Ray Crew's footprints and oil drums thrown down canyons and road building machinery being messed with, then the Bluff Creek incident with the film by Patterson and Gymlan film, which I have always and still am convinced is real, while Sanderson also included these accounts he didn't use them as the main focal point and included plenty of encounters from North America from the past that clearly showed that "Bigfoot" was not a new phenomenon but something that has been around since pre-Columbian times and similar creatures in many different parts of the world, and he layed it out more geared towards adult readers it seemed like, while having all the same info as the others it had much more info as well!

[@decembergem4598]

Just my opinion....I don't believe people should be wood knocking, rock clacking, or playing sound recordings in the woods. You don't have a dang clue what they mean. You might be pissing off the Hairy Man and asking for something you really don't want.

Is there a scientific way that you can take a sound and some how create a esophagus/ vocal chord that would be able to create that sound kinda like a reverse process of how they did that thing with the mummy years ago where they scanned the esophagus and vocal chords to create a sound of what the mummy would sound like when it was alive. Cause if you could create that then you could get a good clue on what kind or size of animal it came from.
