Frightening Encounter in Old West MONTANA | Teddy Roosevelt Story 1892

[@rebak502]

Your stories have become part of my Sunday routine. Thank you for this great addition to my week.

[@basecampchris]

You are so welcome!

[@ironman4122]

Same here, it’s my bedtime story. I’m sure we would all love more stories during the week too! 🦶 🖤💛🤟✌️

[@daleross9001]

Its. nice rite peaceful listening to a story

[@imonoke7903]

What a boring life, u should go out more

[@lindadonahue9279]

This is a terrifying story. I love the fact that it was so long ago and President Roosevelt saw fit to include it in his book. The two men in the story were mountain men, expert hunters and trappers. So many similarities in what they told about and the experiences these days. interesting. Thank you, Chris. And yes please to multiple stories a week!

[@garrettjacobson4921]

Pretty hardcore dudes, plus no flashlights or modern technology. Nighttime would’ve been terrifying.

[@lucillevasconcellos244]

The scariest part of that story , was when you were walking out, and that scream.

[@totallynole9983]

Absolutely was. Wow

[@Gri03]

I'm still recovering from that. I thought it was the real thing and I cannot even. 😳😳

[@joeblow4795]

What scream? U sure it wss from the video?

[@maggiesmama757]

Was that live, Chris? Chris? Chris?

[@LeaveNoTrashBehind]

That was obviously added in while editing.

[@sarahwhittenton8021]

I’ve heard that story before. It’s said this man was the only person that Teddy Roosevelt believed when it came to fire side stories. He could tell it was real. Chilling! Great story telling ❤️

[@jjay4585]

I`ve heard this story also, his partner was someone who could not be sneaked up upon, also his partner was the one who shot at this thing.

[@seventh_adam4410]

@@jjay4585 Nah it was the other guy that shot. Wrong place and wrong time. The squatch just came back to wreck the camp site.

[@Carandini]

The Colonel himself had an odd experience in Washington state while on an excursion there. He heard a scream-growl that he couldn't identify and which, apparently, freaked out his Indian guide who insisted that Roosevelt and himself needed to be 'anywhere but where they were'.

[@malcolmbyrd7479]

The lesson is don't shoot at a Bigfoot. The only exception would be if you're under a physical attack.

[@rypted2849]

Exactly I am so sick of people saying the President saw one, Not True.

[@Numberoneiosgameplay]

I've been camping and fishing on Wise River many times. As a MT native, hands down my favorite part of the entire state. Almost feels like its own national park. The Pioneer Mountains on both sides of the valley are magnificent, lots of old abandoned mining history at Coolidge, the Crystal Park (dig for your own gem stones), and nearby Bannack. Also a great nearby ski-hill, and the plateau at the top of the pass genuinely resembles some parts of Yellowstone (minus the geysers). The area is a fishing and hiking mecca. Highly recommend visiting if you're near the area. Hope you're well Chris, it was indeed a very frightening story!

[@mgdala]

Wow. This is so relaxing. But also excitingly spooky. The beer looks so great.

[@jasonsewell9785]

I get so much joy listening to you. Thank you for all the hard work. It makes my week just a little easier.

[@garrettjacobson4921]

First of all, my hats off to you for camping out in the woods all alone. Hard pass for me. I’d never leave the camper. Second, if i’m ever found in that situation, by no means would I EVER separate myself from my partner and wander off into the woods alone after encountering something that obviously doesn’t want me there. Good story. Much appreciated.

[@tamaravaughan503]

Checking YT first thing on Sundays for your latest story, Chris. Love them all! I'm sure there are endless untold stories like this, especially from the past. I'm very curious what stories the Native American community have. When my son was driving across country with a childhood friend after his time in the Montana Conservation Corps, they went to the Grand Canyon and spent a few days with the Native Americas that lived there. They told my son and friend that there are space ships/sauces that are hiding in the canyons. They also said they had told the police several times, but they ignored them. I've heard that the Sasquatch are aliens from another galaxy. Things that make you go hmmm!😆👽

[@janewolf4541]

Hi Chris. I believe everyone watching this, can appreciate the total effort you put into your video's, especially concerning winter time making everything more difficult. Thank you for all you do. Love from west central Colorado.

[@basecampchris]

I appreciate that, Blue Mountain Cowgirl!

[@norsewarrior859]

Always look forward to your uploads. Carson pass is full of history. Also idk if you like to read or not, may also give you a couple story ideas. But Tragedy at Devil's Hollow and Other Kentucky Ghost Stories by Michael Paul Henson has short, supposedly true stories. Including one on time travel which the book is named after. Look forward to more great stories

[@hershelcarter3376]

Another great story, thanks!! I wish you best of luck growing your channel, you always seem to be in a good mood and it rubs off on me and makes me smile and happy. 👍🏻

[@angelwalker3260]

That was creepy! I knew Roosevelt had something to do with a bigfoot but couldn't remember what. Thanks Chris stay safe! And that scream at the end yikes! 🌲💚🌲

[@kristal.8859]

Chris we look forward to your stories and have been watching the older stuff while we wait for Sunday's post. So definitely welcome another story per week. Sad that they did not leave as soon as there was an issue, that they didn't listen to their gut and that they split up; otherwise Jessup may not have been killed. Dave Paulides always mentions the point of separation and Steve Isadahl to listen when something does not feel right. And you always scare the poo out of me with the sound effects!!! Good job!! Stay safe out there!!

[@yummyKFCstuff]

12 ga shotgun is definately the best companion when walking in the woods alone

[@opalcrocker2143]

You're an amazing story teller Chris

[@BoricuaCat]

Loved it!! I’m working in big sky Montana. I’m a seasonal worker!! I really enjoyed it!!

[@talons9877]

✨ Excellent story again Chris ! But what was all that at the end when you were walking back Chris ? I think I could hear you reacting to what sounds of the obvious! And maybe a branch breaking from something being thrown ?? For real Chris !? I don't know how you do it at night ... 😱

[@joemeisner9180]

If its Sunday, it must be Base Camp Chris! Than you for another great story......very creepy!

[@Laura-Kitty]

I don't know HOW you're able to tell these stories, then hike back out in the dark all by yourself. Was that hollering at the end of the video recorded by you? Good God, that would have caused me to curl up in the fetal position and hide in the snow. I've heard that same sound at night, from the forested hills by my home. 😱

[@riverriver5345]

Love your stories, Chris! Keep them coming as much as you want 😁

[@basecampchris]

Thank you! Will do!

[@Emmy_Reacher]

Great story, great video. It makes me wonder how many experiences like Bauman's there were back then that never got recorded, and were subsequently lost to time. Anyway, thanks for the video and I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@donnaw9040]

I can’t believe how you traipse around out there alone in the dark- after telling a scary story- how do you do that??!! I’m just glad you do, more is better

[@michellelyon3149]

Wow, great story. Yes, please continue to bring us more great content! I’m a newer subscriber & have binge watching! I can’t get enough of your personality & adventures! My husband loves IPA’s so I’ve started a log of each beer you open at the beginning so he can search them out in our area! 🍺 Cheers!

[@basecampchris]

That’s great! Thank you for doing that.Chris!!☀️⛺️

Hello from Denmark. Love your story. I AM born in Greenland. We know about little people in Greenland. ☝️😳We have many story about Them.

[@georginabuziak5110]

OMG.......was that you capturing that howl at the end......that was frightening to say the least!!!! Crazy story as usual.....😱

[@Truth1561]

My stomach growled 11 minutes in and I nearly shot out of bed lol. Love your storytelling Chris.

[@leslieohmit5052]

I am hooked on your channel, love everything, the sounds , the views, the history lessons and your wonderful story telling. I can sometimes literally smell the trees and the campfires. What a much needed vacation away from the crazy times we live in. Thank you for you passionate tales of the forests.

[@basecampchris]

Thank you so much Leslie! Appreciate it. C

[@idid138]

You've had me wondering if there are stories from mountain men of old about sasquatch. Then you share this story, relayed by Teddy who is also my favorite President! 🧸 🇺🇸 What a cool story! Sounds like that creature maybe took revenge for being shot by the other trapper... Maybe he was hurt & ticked off... R.I.P.

[@TodyWayne]

Another great story...! I actually have a 1st edition of that book, that my Dad gave me...! Haven't read it yet, but I plan to one day for sure...! Thanks for sharing...!

[@benridge6570]

Good job, thanks for the story. Really enjoy the stories about bigfoot, Especially about the ones in the Early 1900s and 1800s, They're great remember never go gently into the good night. Your friend in Northern ldaho.

[@suem6004]

I have discovered your channel. I like your format. Combining outdoors encounters with you actually outdoors. Interesting how the guy’s name is Bau-Man or woodsman in German.

[@10thAveFreezeOut]

I know for sure Base Camp Chris wouldn't have put up with a bigfoot stealing his IPA!! Love your channel, Chris.

[@RichM0410]

I’ve read that story from Roosevelts book about a half dozen times. Nothing has discredited Roosevelt that I’m aware of and believe him to be a very credible person. I intend to buy that book but following Sasquatch studies, as well as Roosevelts outdoor experiences this is a story that sticks with me. I seriously doubt Roosevelt would fabricate for attention. Hell phones, let alone internet was zero consideration. L

[@jumaris28]

Hello Chris. 🥶 🍺 Great Trappers story 🥹🥹🥹 Happy Sunday everyone 😊

[@joro4408]

You're the best, your little giggle right down to your sound effects. Love it keep it coming, enjoying listening to you from Maine as I'm working overnight

[@seventh_adam4410]

Lesson here; only shoot as a last resort. Remember you are invading their habitat and need to be respectful to their wishes. If you are given a warning then its time to go asap or suffer the consequences. Hello Chris and I look forward to more content during the week. You read my mind for sure. Haha Thanks a mill.!

[@truax848]

Nice story, Chris. The picture of the mountain man in your video is actually a picture of the real Jeremiah "Liver eaten" Johnson. on which the movie Jeremiah Johnson was based.

[@ty2razz2.02]

This man's stories. Never disappoints .👍😃👍 more good stuff & Ale.

The isolated Nahanni Valley in Canada’s Northwest Territories is noted for a half dozen or more unsolved killings, in which the victims heads were missing. Also known as the Valley of the Headless Men.

[@symphonyinkart]

Hello from Australia, You should check out yowie hunters - they’re Australian like me. They actually got heat footage (fl whatever there called lol) of a yowie (Sasquatch etc). And measured it at something like 9ft. Whatever they caught They also do a lot of reports. The person who started it had his own experience. Was chased by one on a run lol

[@Sanford63]

I love to get home from work Sunday evenings and listen to your newest story! It was good to hear this one again, told by you. Thanks, Chris!

[@HATSUCHl]

Imagine how scary it was back in those days 1860’s no flashlights. only campfire, lanterns, or create a hand held torch. Could you imagine, you wouldn’t even be able to shine a focused light beam on whatever was out there.

[@trudyramgren8817]

Wow Chris, was this sound at the end for real??? This story gave me the heebie jeebies!! Lol. You sure are brave out there Chris!!! Good story! 😳

[@dizzylizzy6571]

Teddy Roosevelt was MY favorite president too! He was a wilderness man. A family man. A man's man. And obviously the country's man (as their leader). Wow! Great story tonite Chris! Scared me to death! 🦍🦍🦍😳😳😳🤯🤯🤯🥶🥶🥶🌚🌚🌚☠️☠️☠️🥸🥸🥸🥶🥶🥶

I would love to hear more stories . Better to hear your stories then the ones coming from the Government. They are frightening.

Wow man you got way way more snow then I got this whole winter here in Michigan been a not so hot winter this is the third year I haven't been able to ride the snowmobile stinks but glad to see the people out west is getting snow finally hopefully that helps people out there with the droughts they been having

[@eagle6754]

This one is scariest due to the actual attack. But could it be due to the shot one of them took at the creature? Then you are walking out out alone, at night with a howl in the dark...

[@annepilon-zaya]

I always look forward to your real stories....you are very talented the way you say them ❤️today is my birthday what a treat!!!🥳

Gotta love Base Camp Chris' Fireside Chats like Teddy's cousin, Franklin Roosevelt, gave over the radio while serving as president.

[@Vangirhl]

Thanks so much Chris! Glad to see you out hiking. I'd appreciate a hiking, camping video, too! Just throwing that out there. :)

[@basecampchris]

Yes - that would be good...we are on the warmer side of winter. Doable now!! Thanks Vangirhl

[@LoveJesus2324]

Hi Chris! Great job telling this story; I especially liked it when you said something about the reputation of the area and then your comment, "They went...anyway". Right? We would not and even then a prudent person would not have. Teddy Roosevelt was quite an outdoorsman, and not everyone back then was, which is why I figured we have so many state and national parks...to protect us and then, if you get what I mean. The other fun part of your telling this story is when you get to a scary part and you nervously glance over your shoulder into the dark woods behind you and take a drink of beer. No kidding I would be too. Hope you had a fun hike and thanks for braving the weather and the snow for us for the backdrop. God bless.

[@kileyjade420]

Love your channel, keep them coming. You have a true talent for telling these stories.

Hey Chris..Plz plz add more Bigfoot stories throughput the week..Awesome job..Thank you!!

[@penelopelopez8296]

The wilderness must have been terrifying back in the 1890s. I read a book about George Washington many years ago. He would go out on horseback with a friend and explore around the shennandoah valley and blue ridge mountain area. Often times they would come across native Americans. His friend was able to communicate with them but Washington made no effort….he considered them below him. The book was very interesting as it went into a few wilderness excursions that Washington went on.

[@Alberto-kl9pl]

Hey Chris! My friend had an encounter right where your vehicle was parked ! She had stopped in the middle of the night around 2 am and had large rocks thrown down the hill In her direction and she herd loud footfalls also coming in her direction! Well luckily she was near her truck got in and turned the headlights on . She saw nothing then immediately got the heck outa there! Believe it ! Or not!………….Idc!

[@krisbillington519]

I was born in Butte, Montana and grew up in Browns Gulch. The Big Hole and Wise River area was and still is impressive. So many memories and laughs camping, fishing, hunting, and exploring that area when I was young. But there was this one time in 1979 Fourth of July camping up at The Little Joe campground area and we heard something coming from high up a drainage and it was getting dark. The sounds it was making was nothing I’ve heard before and haven’t heard since. Even my entire family who was with us and and they are outdoors people couldn’t explain it.

[@lucillevasconcellos244]

I envy the snow. I live in southern Massachusetts snd no snow at all and only two days of temps below freezing, actually enjoying 40 to 60 degree weather right now.

I just watched Rough Riders last weekend. Tom Berenger plays Teddy. Gary Busey was in it too. Pretty good movie about the Spanish American war. Thanks Chris!

I really look forward to your stories. I live out in the country and have a fire pit and on Friday and Saturday nights, I will light a fire, pop a beer, and just listen.

[@ReichenbachEsq]

Mankind’s use of tents is ancient…the Holy Bible mentions the use of tents in the Old Testament Genesis 4:20. Tents in North America in the 18th & 19th century required horses & sometimes wagons to carry the larger ones. Most men used canvas to fabricate simple shelters until they could build better ones.

LOVED that story..... But sad. Yes, it's not typical of a Sas to do such things, but they are wild creatures and apparently territorial. Yikes

[@mrhaggin429]

LOVE IT! I spend a lot of time in the back country of the Big Hole drainage. Hunting, hiking, fishing and mt biking. To me it's always been a unique slice of Montana. Never had any Bigfoot encounters but there's definitely been times where I've got the feeling "Hair on the back of my neck" to move on and not loiter. One time, a friend and I were working our way up to a park above 8,000' and while in some thick timber we heard a very loud growl right near us. Both of us froze and looked at each other then looked everywhere we could see without moving to locate the source. Eventually after not seeing or hearing anything else, we decided to head back down the mountain. Still to this day it perplexes me as to what made the sound. My best guess is that it was a bobcat in the trees above us.

This bugs me: you're saying "him and his partner" when I think you mean to say "he and his partner" when you are following it with a verb. I'm probably the only one who cares, but I think good English is important. Love this channel, Chris!

[@tchristensen8885]

I love Teddy Roosevelt!!!! 🧡 I love in WI and my favorite Teddy story is when he was shot in Milwaukee while giving his speech and he just went on 45 minutes later finishing it! Everyone was telling him to get to the hospital but he was like, no, no this can wait. These people came to hear my speech!

[@RoscoPColetraneIII]

Hey Chris, the Salmon river (Idaho) and Wise river (Montana) originate near the far southeastern area of Idaho and the far southwestern area of Montana, respectively. My guess is the “Wisdom” river guy was in the Beaverhead Mountains. Any Idaho or Montana natives have input? Honestly, the names they used to use for the rivers are likely different than those we use today. The nomenclature we use today is different in enough ways. Either way, very good story from some true grit individuals.

[@jenford7078]

I love that story, I always imagine how horrified city folks even back in that time would have decided over-crowding and sweat shops weren't so bad after all. Even for an older woman raised in rural northern Minnesota my goosebumps are up and I've both read & listened to it before! Good telling!

Hi Chris!! I was so happy that you shared this story on your channel. I actually heard this story B4 a long time ago on a Bigfoot documentary on TV. It just amazes me that Bigfoot stories go back as far as they do. I do have a question, on one of your videos, I thought you said you had an email account, is that still active? Thanks Chris!!
