Survivorman Bigfoot | Episode 1 | Alberta | Les Stroud | Todd Standing

Les finds himself in a remote track of forested land in Alberta, Canada, a renowned Bigfoot hot spot. Inundated by requests from fans to uncover the truth about Bigfoot since revealing his own possible Bigfoot encounter while shooting Survivorman in Alaska in 2009, Les seeks to uncover the truth about this elusive and possibly fictitious creature. Enlisting the help of Bigfoot researcher Todd Standing, Les goes in as a skeptic, debunking myths and exploring the possibility of purposely broken trees and structures made in ways that seem highly unlikely to be made by natural causes. Les makes camp in bowl-like topography to give the beasts of the wilderness the high ground. Armed with nothing more than a camera, belt knife and extreme night-vision cameras.
Directed By Les Stroud
Starring Les Stroud

Love your no-nonsense/skeptical-but-curious approach to this subject Les. SINCERELY.....Sadly this field has long had too many loons for most to take it seriously but your honest objectivity, taken from experiences that you yourself cannot explain, brings a MUCH NEEDED authenticity that is soooooo welcomed by many like myself who are equally fascinated by the subject. What makes you the Defacto authority, in my opinion, is your lifelong experiences living in some of the worlds most remote regions where most of us wouldn't last a day. To hear something and almost immediately recognize it as a squirrel, branch, bobcat, Fox, Bear can only come with spending many years exploring these remote forests. I think I speak for many when I say that I sincerely hope you continue in your quest for answers here as so many of us either don't have the balls, means or knowledge in which to spend weeks in these remote regions that you call your 2nd home. Keep up the GREAT work because we're all better for it...

When I was a kid, my parents raised me in the country about 15 miles away from town. We lived on a private 140 acre lake. During the summer my buddy and I "without parents" would catfish a lot. One night we probably fished til midnight then started walking back up to the house; which was around 600 yards from lake. About half way up I heard a growl from across a field. It sounded just like these deep growls Todd Standing has recorded. Actually it growled at us twice from around 200 yards away. We knew not to run from wild animals, but not that night. We had to carry fishing tackle, poles, and fish straight up a hill. I ran that 300 yards in record time. Ran in and told my dad and he thought we was silly kids. Didn't even listen. Being only 10 my buddy and I had no idea what it was. But I knew it was big. Cause I had a 120 lb. dog that had a deep growl. These growls sounded just like Todd Standing's recordings.

I've seen them twice. Once a road crossing in Maine and once while on vacation in Florida. 2 walked past the back of the property in the drainage ditch that marks the property line. The ditch was about 40ft behind the house and their was a golf course on the other side at the time. The neighbors had security lighting on all night that lit up both their yard and my relatives yard too. It was about 3am and I was unable to sleep for the heat so I was enjoying a ice cold lemonade sitting in the dark looking out towards the yard at the last of a lightning storm in the distance. They just walked on past using the ditch as a pathway. I got a good enough look at them to be sure they were not humans and then they were gone. 3-5 seconds.

[@jackrabbitjeep5954]

I must say until I started watching Les Stroud and the way he goes alone into the wilds I was never a believer in Bigfoot. Then I moved to North Carolina, and I had something happen to me late one night that freaked me out beyond belief. Now, don't get me wrong, Les is the MAN! not sure I could do what he does and has done and keep my sanity. About two month ago in November of 2020 I was driving home with my wife in the Jeep JK on a section of I-85 outside of Kannapolis. The road goes for a down hill section then up again in a mile section with an overpass at 1 mile. The traffic was light just some cars ahead of me a good distance (about 1/4 mile), my brain went nuts and told my right foot to let up on the gas and to say in the second to right lane, then I saw a large bipedal like a person crossing the road in the taillights of the cars ahead. I just did not know what was going on and the distance passed fast at 65 mph, and when I got to the spot a LARGE, tan and harry shape passed by the Jeep in the right lane. I was taller than the Jeep ( I have a 3.5 in lift on 35 inch tires so it isn't small). I freaked me out so much I started shaking and asked my wife if she saw it and she didn't. But, I did and it was terrifying. Now every time I come to that section of highway I look, there are lots of woods and deer get hit quite often, but this was no deer. it was tall and tan and I can see it today as if it happened yesterday. I just thank God I listened to my inner voice, and did not hit whatever it was.

I dont have a Bigfoot experience, but a friend and I saw a UFO. Only her and I saw it since we loved out in the country, but we still talk about it to this day.

I live in a pine forest. I have watched single trees snap when no others around them did. Especially when they have snow and or ice on them. The wind blows and they start swinging back and fourth, its always the smaller trees that it happens to as the wind gets forced between the bigger ones increasing the forces on the smaller trees. They always seem to break at the point above a 3-4 branch junction 10-15’ from the top. If you look at how they grow. You’d notice the diameter reduces by about 1/2. And they always break into a road if they’re along side one. Also. Those structures always have a young tree in the center and much older trees around them. It’s pretty simple. That tree grew after the other fell. It picked them up and took them with them as it grew. I’ve also watched this happen. Les might have the advantage of being in many different forests all over the world. But ive lived in the same one for a long time and watched these things happen over and over again with no footprints or Bigfoot legends in the area.

7:51 I have personally seen.....trees snapped like that due to weather conditions. it wasn't heavy snow, like you'd think, and it didnt happen all at once or even with a season. we had an ice storm one year and while thay alone cause a lot of trees to fall, it also killed a lot of thinner, younger trees. those trees stood up but were clearly dead....no new growth. then, late the next summer, we get a storm that spawns many tiny funnel clouds, some of which touched down (a EF0, would be the size, though one really cool thing was a scar one funnel left on the field by our place....it left an area about three feet wide and six feet long of sand....fine, beach type sand. no field top soil but sand and only there. stayed like that for years). When that storm came through, that is exactly what the trees looked like. they wouldnt all face the same direction either. I noticed while on the school bus one day that the broken trees almost seemed to make a spinning pattern as we drove down the street (not, to me anyway, indicating a funnel but, instead strong gusts of wind in various directions). odd thing was that they were all snapped at lower heights than you'd think but often above where a human could reach. they would make a semi-clean break, but be still resting on the tree trunk and attached. it seemed the ice froze all the water in those smaller trees and while they were clearly dead, it wasn't until they were snapped over that you could see that there was decay on the inside. they were all spaced out as well. they weren't a close lump of trees.

See that's my thought too; when Harvey hit our town there was lot of damage around open spaces and where roads turned; you could literally see where the winds followed the roads then swirled when the road turned and the winds hit a building. That guy says they're 30 years and the road is only 10 but I don't know about his evidence for that, those trees don't look like they've been there 30 years to me; and with that road there I could see storms hitting that break in the tree and causing all sorts of weird wind patterns.

@@lesleyj.stroud1713 Les (if this is the real Mr. Stroud), I really think that you could / should revisit Bigfoot topic (one day). I think you could (easily) weave together interviews of people giving their viewpoints and thoughts. Possibly, even do an episode where you take someone against the possibility, and educate them about the possibility of the creature. See ... I have questions (like) where do they sleep? Where do they live? Do they stay full-time? What happens to their dead? Granted, if you opioned on it, it'd be speculation, but it's something that would (possibly) answer more of the questions -- from a viewpoint with experience. Maybe, even bring in how many criminals have disappeared into the woods and lived (even) short distance from a city, stole things at night, and never been discovered for years. Only caught once they stole too much, and youth camp put up cameras and had the sheriff waiting to catch them. But, that shows possibility of existence of a creature, if it shied away from man and hid far out in wilderness. World is bigger than most people in city think. So, some of those topics you could go into. Maybe, even talk about the breakdown of the civilization and where people are. Most people live in cities. Rest of America is sparsely-to-minimally populated outside of cities. Yes, less-so now as years go by, but some parts of America don't have big popluations (like people think). Maybe scan around America and show that. Don't know but all I am saying is you have barely begun to scratch the surface of material that the Bigfoot topic covers.

Yeah, he talks "too damn much" about feet, but I forgive him for that. But, gehesh ... Anyway, he helped move me from a Discounter to a (not a Believer) Possibility-Person. He talked about how forests eat bones & carcasses quickly, so that helped shape me more. Also, went to a few Bigfoot Conventions, and they helped me away from Skepticism to supporting investigations into the topics. But, be nice to go to each of them, and get more of their viewpoints. No one has done a Who's Who in Bigfoot Community right now. Yes, you spent time with Todd Standing, but there are so many more people that are making a difference in the field -- with LEGITIMATE RESEARCH, not just hogwash story-telling. Even be nice for you to interview Hunters to get them to tell you that trial cams never caught Bigfoots, as I've heard hundreds of times. And, why Scientists haven't got a body yet. Interact with some Hunters and tear that to shreds. They say trial cams are everywhere, but I don't think they are spread out enough 24/7/365 to catch that. They didn't catch that guy on the run from the law up in the woods of Maine for 30/35 years, and he was right by town. So, if they didn't catch him IN ONE SINGLE AREA, then they sure might miss a bipedal creature that covers large area and might not use same hunting location (more than once or so). It's possible, but be nice to analyze the main arguments that you hear, which isn't addressed in one single documentary or documentary series.

That structure looks like an old hunting/trapping camp. You can see the makeshift rectangular horse corrals that fell down.

That tree structure at 16:00 can absolutely happen naturally. I've been outdoors person all my life and i've worked as a lumberjack for 5 years now (i'm 21 btw), and i see all kinds of strange tree trunk structures in the woods. When the guy asked if les has ever seen a tree trunk upside down like that, it can absolutely happen if there's a lot of trees leaning against each other just like you see in the video. All you need is another tree falling down on top of that structure with a lot of weight and force to lift its butt of the ground. Those kinds of structures are cool and all but dangerous as hell for me as a lumberjack Btw you can clearly see a cut tree stump at 16:32 so when the guy said that the structure is probably 30 years old, it might as well be man made. The tree that is "bent in to the structure", that happens when a bigger/heavier tree falls and starts to lean on another tree. So that is also natural

[@chaielmaetheius7804]

Under the topic of Bigfoot, my experience was back in 2001 during late winter up in Catskills, New York. Since was a kid I enjoyed watching survivor man shows and wanted to try several of his own survival skills to learn how to survive in the wild or worse case scenario. So when I lived in Catskills, I went camping solo and pitched my tent and gathered several edible plants around the campsite before night fall. It must have been around 2am mother nature woke me up and I went out of my tent and walked straightly from the door of the tent to cross the little river to do what I needed to do, turn around and cross over the little river and no tent… I returned to where I went and turned around again and crossed again over the little river, no tent. Crossed two small rivers, no tent. I returned to the two small rivers and cleared the island between the two little rivers, even if it was muddy I prayed for protection from the elements around me and laid down to sleep… temperature was about 58°F but dropped down to 34°F, that’s when I felt something 3 times my height lay against my body and hairy. I felt fear at first but then felt safe, warm and didn’t even dare look or check what was laying against my body, so I fell asleep. When I woke up I could see sunlight through the leaves and cold. I got up and checked for paw prints or something like that to know what type of animal was keeping me warm during the night… nothing was found, and the ground was muddy enough to preserve whatever prints but the only prints were from my hiking boots. When I searched for my tent from the island that I slept on I spotted my tent approximately 20ft away. I went back to my campsite and packed up everything and left the woods. I am only 5ft tall and look younger than my age, sometimes people think am a teenager during that time when I experienced Bigfoot, now that am older I still thank G-D for sending me that creature to keep me alive.

Hey Less ! Love all your stuff this one made me think of something that happened to me Back in 2003 me and my wife were traveling on rural route between VT and New Hampshire. It was mid morning early afternoon when I had pulled off the road to relieve myself where some high power lines crossed the road being that there was a slight clearing where an access road to the power lines started. now just to paint a picture of the desolation of this area there was no dwellings for at least five miles or so of this spot. Anyway as I walked a few dozen feet into the woods so as to not be spotted by a possible passing car I proceeded to go about my nature’s call. when all of a sudden I heard this huge crashing sound like a tree falling A BIG TREE ! Freaked out I turn to look in the direction of this sound fearing being hit when I see that the top of the trees to the right of me are all bending and waving around about 80 feet up as if something had disturbed the tops of a bunch of them. At this I am perplexed ! but continue to finish my business as nothing seems to be falling in my direction I figure at the time that maybe a rotted branch just let go or something not making much more of it till I hear it again ! This time as I see the same sort of thing happening I notice that an object is actually hurtling through these tree tops it thumps to the ground about 12 to 15 feet near me and my blood runs cold as I see it is a fricken Boulder about the size a small beach ball I instantly start yelling HEY there’s Someone in here knock it off ! Just as I hear another big commotion coming through those tree tops again and THUMP ! another Boulder bout the same size ! At this I yell out a bluff out of being scared shitless .....HEY ASSHOLE I’M PACKING A HANDGUN ! CUT THE SHIT ! as I hastily made my way back out of the woods and to my car where my wife is saying what the hell was all that crashing noise who you yelling at ....I jump in my car and peel,out of there quickly saying some jack ass hillbilly throwing rocks at me BIG rocks ! in the heat of the moment I guess I hadn’t been completely able to mentally digest what had really happened till I calmed down and thought it over .....it was scary and just plain weird ! Who the or better yet what the hell Could throw a Boulder though the trees at 80 feet up though a hundred feet of space ? I couldn’t make rational sense of any of it I originally wanted to go with I was maybe trespassing and some backwoods freak was pissed off I was on his land but as I said I hadn’t seen a house in miles and miles not to mention the size and height these rocks were being hurled from it just didn’t fit and it bothered me for years running it through in my mind as to what exactly that was ! ........wasn’t till about 2018 when I was sick with a flu and having much couch time just watching program after program of KZbin on every and any subject I came across ufo ghost things like that that I’d always found interesting but like yourself skeptical as well however I’d. never put much stock in big foot stuff period ..That was when I saw this video about some campers who were up in the alligash in a row bout and something was growing at the from the shoreline woods and throwing huge rocks at them from a long distance away that I reflected back to my odd experience ...and I must say after looking at the area where this happened on areal google earth and realizing those power lines eventually just keep traveling through woods and mountains till the vast forests of Canada I more and more believe I may have had my own big foot experience ...I never saw a creature or heard any growling or whatever but them boulders WOW ! also the google earth areal view also confirmed there was no home for miles of this location thus destroying my theory of an angry hillbilly ...there was no internet you tube and such in 2003 so it took all these years for tech to catch up with my weird experience and story HOWEVER it still is a huge mystery and may always be but least my optimism in a possible big foot existing and that I may had a personal encounter is just a little more fortified..P.s.

A few years ago, in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey near Batona campground, I was walking the sand roads in the area at night with a friend. We were actually there to film a documentary about the Jersey Devil and try to find evidence. While coming back to the camp, we heard the loudest scream, it scared us. We froze to look around and couldn't see anything. It sounded like a bobcat, at least that's what we thought. We shouted loudly to scare it. That's when we heard extremely loud crashing through the forest, like something very large was running away and breaking large trees/logs. Whatever it was moved quickly and covered several hundred yards in just about 10-15 seconds. We heard it run into the nearby swamp. While we didnt follow it at night, we went back next day and that's when we realized how far it actually went in that short amount of time. We never found any tracks. One of the creepiest moments I've ever experienced.
