Dark Coast, Hunt for the Alaskan Bigfoot: Origins (Searching for Sasquatch in Alaska)

[@amycuaresma]

Lifelong Alaskan resident - thank you for highlighting our beautiful state. Big foot - still reigning champion of hide and seek

[@ExpertyExperts]

I really don’t think it is fair to crown Big Foot ‘hide and seek champion’. He made us count from one to something like ten thousand years. I call shenanigans on senior big foot.

[@amycuaresma]

and still counting

[@ExpertyExperts]

Shenanigans!!!

[@Nikolai-nv4rq]

He's winning

[@muzikgeniusguy8031]

Not hide in seek cause they jus don't exist 🙄😒 how come not even a dead body of bigfoot ever found they gotta die also....they don't have funerals

[@Heyjaybird]

I lived on the Kenai peninsula for 15 years..in that time I've seen alot and been up close and personal with sasquatch.

[@axaygiri]

Why you lived there? Why u moved? Just curious.

[@morganfreeman5972]

Up close huh. I'm going to assume you don't have a single photo.

For everyone who cares, unfortunately, Scott Carpenter died of a brain aneurysm yesterday. He will be missed, and it's a massive loss to our community.

So sorry to hear this. Rest in peace, Scott.

My cat was watching with me, when he hear sounds he reacted strangly, I wish to come to Alaska and live there, but I am from Poland and I know this won't happen, searching for Squatch is my biggest wish. Thanks tou you guys I can se this, thank you and greetings from Poland.

[@ChacoteOutdoorRecreation]

Many enslaved people in North America found assistance with networks known as the underground railroad that consisted of abolitionist who at great personal risk transported and hid people in the wilderness and some became lost and resigned themselves not to be recaptured, these small groups unaware of the dangers of incest have been documented by early travelers, and while it is not well known many Native American tribes also captured and enslaved them, often forcing them to reproduce with the offspring becoming dangerous and unmanageable, with many Native stories that today remain closely guarded by the elders. Records of contacts between Africans and Native Americans date to April 1502, when the first enslaved African arrived in Hispaniola. Some Africans escaped inland from the colony of Santo Domingo; those who survived were captured by the Native tribes and became essentially beast of burden that were interbred with the fruit of these unions that possessed all the horrific consequences of repeated incestuous breeding used to frighten enemies. In the lands which later became part of the United States.

[@annaak7849]

Wow really? ​@@DickOswaldi was wondering about this as I am originally from Poland and wish I knew more about what's hidden in polish forests. All I know is that my family hid in the forests during ww2

[@marthaj67]

Absolutely stunning scenery. If nothing else, this should be used by the Alaskan Tourism Board (or whatever it's called) to promote tourism to this wild and beautiful state. I've thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you, ladies and gents of STM.

[@iriecobbs6862]

No tourism

[@fly_speck_cafe]

STM's cinematography is simply stunning.

Please do not promote tourism there, people will just ruin it like everything else. Leave it pure so I can go live there in the future, and live in peace.

[@frost1003]

Great relaxing bigfoot videos. I enjoy watching. I think every BF researcher who can afford it bring that style drone with 5-7 charged batteries with them while out in the wilderness. The level of terrain and square acres you can cover in minutes is incredible. Imagine it's dark, you hear a loud tree knock, or rock thrown? Send up the drone immediately and investigate long distances in any direction. It could fly up that several thousand foot high mountain in 5-10 minutes and see everything, while it would take you 6 or more hours on foot.

[@mariesheppard1782]

Hi Guys, Marie from South Wales UK 🇬🇧 This is ASTOUNDING, we just have Know Idea Across the Pond how Vast & Beautiful your Wilderness Is. I remember your Last Adventure there , can't Wait for these Episodes. They Will be Awesome as Always . Stay Safe Out There 🏞🏞🐻🐻🦫🐿👣👣👣👣❤

[@phantom5573]

Great trip and effort. What amazes me most about all these videos with drones is how desolate and empty acres and acres of untouched forest is.

[@letsgobrandon416]

This is what I find most surprising - no wonder I rarely see anything when I'm out hunting.

[@Para2normal]

Rarely desolate!😀

[@tomtalker2000]

The scenery is gorgeous. But it also looks something out of Kong: Skull Island. And i would bet there are some HUGE squatches up in that area.

[@virginiasequeira3872]

Aleks, you should be so very proud of this documentary/series. It is amazing😊

Hey guys....another very good vid. This is my opinion ... I just want to tell you I believe you and Eli are going to be the people who get the really good video of the hairy man. Your dedication and delivering hard earned facts is beyond question. Over the years of watching your progress I've noticed you pay close attention to the very fine details of your surroundings. I just hope you get that vid soon. You both have earned it.

[@zbelair7218]

Some of that audio sends chills down my spine. What it must be like to live in a place like that.....I wish I was so lucky.

[@niyantadeshpande5682]

Awesome 💯 This format is a whole lot more engaging than Bigfoot Beyond The Trail. Especially the Bigfoot reenactments and illustrations in BBTT are truly disappointing and non-essential. Wish you all the success in your tireless hard work! Thank you for sharing ❤

[@SmallTownMonsters]

It's a different style than BTT...while you are welcome to share your thoughts, I get to create my videos in the ways I want to. Whether you like it or not, I could care less. Not everybody is going to like everything I make. -Aleks

[@devincarter801]

Absolutely gorgeous scenery. Awesome story. Great work my guys. Definitely a great and interesting experience. Thanks for great work bro.

[@markdoran3114]

Great camera work and research guys ….Some suggestions - hang some thermal cameras from helium balloons - so no drone noise and use a line from the ground so you can turn the camera in any direction. Also some more thermal cameras - handheld and on trees. Finally can I suggest you carry a 360 camera each so that you are always recording what is around you. For sound I would suggest many more passive recording devices all around the camp areas and cabin. Glow sticks would help you move around at night in the area to mark your trails - and might also be picked up by BF. Finally footprint “traps” on every approach to the firepits and cabin areas

[@cathysmith1555]

Very good documentary! I think it shows that most expeditions are really this way. There’s a lot of work and often nothing happens.

I'm in Idaho, right on the boarder with Ontario. Had an experience here in the Owyhee mtns. I don't know if it's always this way, but I knew someone was watching us as soon as we entered the canyon. Ended up with a sighting. Feeling them I think is as important as seeing one. They were on full alert, but not wanting to be hostile. I was armed, and that feeling kept me in check with my weapon. Idk. Hope you have a good safe success guys. Be careful

Again wonderful effort and lovely documentary the efforts you guys are putting in is really appreciable . Again love from 🇮🇳

[@jessicasarmy8896]

I truly enjoy all of the work done by each of you. I listen to many different people who research this topic, regular folk who have experiences and share them and those who like me, make comments based on what we've heard, digested and then have an idea about. One thing I have heard is that the cameras do not capture their pictures or movement on the regular and that might be because of the part of them that is not human. They seem to have special powers. Infrared is easily detected by them so they avoid it and they have the ability to see in the dark like we see in the light. Flashing them with light ticks them off big time and they can see you when you think you are hidden. Thanks again for all you do which helps those who have experienced them.

[@elliotdryden7560]

Spot on. Likewise, I think "they" know if the cabin is inhabited or not and the "slapping" behavior is pure intimidation. Like "civic minded" youth walking the streets trying to rattle people.

[@stefanschleps8758]

Well done. Spectacular scenery, great soundtrack ambiance, good narration. And the point of it all, Bigfoot! Keep it creepy!

Well I spent 16 years in Alaska and have hiked up to the Harding ice fields and exit glacier and around the Kenai and hiked up other places too - I’ve never seen a big foot but when the hair stands up you know not to go and that has happened on the Kenai .. but could also be the eyes of the feds because there’s a huge prison across resurrection in Seward. ..you never know because on the other side is Homer.

The gun shot noise sounded like Ice cracking (large) you said there is a glacier nearby, and the time frame it is somewhat warm... When I was a small boy many decades ago, I lived near a small river that would freeze up to 2-3 ft thick, if when it warmed up fast, and crack it would sound like a gun and sometimes like TNT going off, depending how big the crack... love the video will be watching more...

[@fallingleaves3985]

I've heard theories about how Sasquatch can sense modern electronics/invisible waves from phones/drones/cameras, and that's how they avoid being photographed. Would make sense why the gold standard is still the Patterson-Gimlin footage!. Would be cool to do an episode where you just used old-school cameras, no phones or drones...

[@itprogrammingmusic]

Awesome soundtrack! Your post productions is NAILING IT! I like that! I like to watch something with fitting sounds to the picture captured. Even if you didn't catch any evidence at all, but your production is THERE.👍 These beings seem to love to draw humans in and then leave you flat dead out to dry on purpose when it comes to evidence. This is the trend. Nothing new. They don't like anyone recording them. We don't have the technology to capture them, but just keep doing your part.
