Survivorman Bigfoot | Willow Creek California | Director's Commentary | Les Stroud

This one was awesome to film as it took me right to the location in California that started it all; where "Patty" was filmed by Roger Peterson and Bob Gimlan. I'm alone at my cottage in Northern Ontario on a dark and stormy night while doing this directors commentary for you all. Enjoy!!

I live in Willow Creek, and grew up about 30 miles downstream from Hoopa, on the Klamath river , I'm a member of a neighboring tribe. I've seen footprints that could only belong the creature called "Bigfoot" in the forest. Then my wife and I encountered the creature itself one afternoon in a place we call "the high country". I'll never forget that day. Thanks Les, keep up the good work.

My dad (Korea-era sniper) and I spent many an enjoyable hour debating the effectiveness and accuracy of Les' survival methods. One point we agreed on was this: You can take Les' word at face value. Period. Nothing more, nothing less. If he says you can boil water in a plastic bottle, you can (but it takes some fiddling around to get it positioned right.) If he says you can eat this "weed," chow down without fear. My dad passed before the Bigfoot episodes aired. It's sad, because he would have enjoyed them very much, as I have. Les, thank you! PS: "American Werewolf in London." Still the best after forty (FORTY!!) years. "Dog Soldiers" is a close second. No CG, all physical effects.

Camping trips with Survivorman sounds like a bucket list objective. The stories this man could tell, the scary experiences that you alone have witnessed would be the best campfire chatter. Honestly, Les Stroud is such a wholesome and truthful guy, a rare breed in the entertainment industry. Being cut out of taking the b-roll and beauty nature shots must have been hard to handle, you always did a great job with them. Would love to see more series of this sort from Les.

Lifelong hunter and fisherman here from the Midwest, anyone that spends a lot of time in the woods has had that feeling where the hair stands up on the back of their necks, and everything goes quiet. I’ve seen cougars in areas where the state DNR’s deny there is any.same with a Timberwolf in a small town in Iowa. I’ve also heard too many first person accounts of sightings of Bigfoot from reliable trustworthy people to discount their experiences.

[@goldenratio5117]

I agree with you ! I've lived in California and Idaho , been all over Oregon and Nevada also. 3 years ago myself , wife and 2 daughters observed 5 wolves outside of Crescent City ... State parks , fish and game both said..."We don't have wolves". Right before my dad passed away 2.5 years ago I was able to buy a few acres in Northern CA , close to Tahoe National Forest. I've believe in Bigfoot my whole life , mostly because my father was close to many Native American Elders and they all spoke of Sasquatch as well as old tales of Giants... 2 distinctly separate beings. March of this year around 10pm Full moon I heard a Bigfoot yelling from 2 miles from my property....All the dogs were going nuts! The volume of the vocalization was just so powerful. It was something I'll never forget.

[@roguewolf7053]

I grew up & still live on 98 acres that are mostly wooded or covered in thick brush located deep in the DeSota National Forest in southern Mississippi. Our property is bordered directly by National Forest on 2 sides. I’ve seen black panther & timber wolves with my own eyes despite all the professionals claiming those animals aren’t here. To be clear, I saw wolves before they “reintroduced” them here roughly 15-20yrs ago. So I personally don’t trust that the official nature specialists always know exactly where all animal species are or aren’t. And if they can be wrong about things like that despite stating it with absolute certainty…what else may they be wrong about? Before I became disabled I spent a LOT of time deep in the woods hiking, hunting, canoeing the many creeks/rivers that flow through deep forest & helping with search & rescue of those lost in the forest. And I’ve heard & seen a lot that I have no explanation for. Many people in this area have similar stories of experiencing seeing or hearing the same things over multiple generations. My dad told me about many of the things he saw, heard & experienced over the years that have no “normal” explanation & he was as common sense, grounded in reality as anyone I’ve ever known. I’m not just talking about Bigfoot either. I was actually with my dad on several occasions when we saw & heard things that didn’t match anything known. When it happens once…you can brush it off as your brain playing tricks on you by trying to make sense of something briefly seen. But when you see the same things repeatedly in the same areas…that excuse no longer works. Even more so when other people you know & trust also admit to seeing/hearing the same sort of things.

[@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059]

Eh, you lost me at Bigfoot, you went from logical to stupid in a split second.

Same with it here in southern Oregon on the California border. Wolves have been here long before the Fish & Game put a so called " first " Wolf, ( tagged ), also Eastern Whitetail deer have been here for a few decades. 2 my 100%stone sober, every day working man buddies saw a Sasquatch paralleling them on a ridge top deer hunt up near Dutchman peak, Syskiyou mountains.....

I’m usually out there target shooting so it’s likely I will never see one.

Great video! I'm pretty close to Les in my views of Bigfoot. I grew up exploring the mountains of Idaho, so I'm familiar with the utter vastness of the wilderness and the possibility of Bigfoot. I have also experienced things that I could not explain, and have spoken with people I respected that had their own encounters. Still, not every broken tree, or knock in the woods is Bigfoot. Les has a very balanced, rational, and fact-based view of Bigfoot that is refreshing and enjoyable.

[@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059]

Your problem is people aren't seeing them in the utter vastness of the wilderness, they are claiming to see them in their backyards and still can't find one.

[@BadAstro]

I have heard a lot of people say they have seen Bigfoot, but they had no credibility to me. But from the beginning, when this series started, I said If Les said he saw Bigfoot I would believe it, there would no longer be any doubt in my mind the it exists. You have 100% credibility in my book.

And beware the moon lads. American werewolf in London 1981. Great movie! Don’t worry about all the negative comments Les. You are the man. Love all of your films. Especially the Bigfoot series. Survivor man is the best as well. Thank you for all of your documented excursions.

[@HomerMcPoT101]

I can’t get enough of this series! I considered myself a conspiracy theorist from 9/11 to aliens but somehow drew a line at Bigfoot and then this series came along. From the first episode to the last and even more with the director commentary, I started to believe! Now I’m a 100% Bigfoot believer all thanks to survivor man Les straud and his experiences! 🦶

[@jakester455]

Welcome aboard. If you haven't already, check out Wes Germer's Sasquatch Chronicles. It's the gold standard for witness interviews (Wes and Les are friends). I also recommend David Paulides Bigfoot 101, it's long and tedious but he presents a lot of good evidence. I've read thousands of reports on the BFRO website, and I began to see very similar behaviors throughout and also hundreds of reports in which nothing is seen. If you set out to invent a bigfoot story, wouldn't you say you saw something? BFRO is an okay source but there are many fake reports, especially from before they started interviewing witnesses before posting their report.

An American warewolf in London quote my favourite. Excellent commentary.

Thankyou.

[@TWKing-lz1hg]

Mr Stroud, you may never read this but I truly appreciate you and what you do. I have always said, if you want to learn how to survive watch Les, if you want to know what special forces would do, watch Bear. I feel Bear knows his business but if your average Joe went out with him they'd not make it back. If they went with you they would make it back and better for the wear. I've noticed in the director commentaries you comment on the people that don't enjoy exactly what you are doing. As a creator myself I know it's important to listen to the audience but some people just want to complain. To me, in this oversaturated world, that just means the content is just not for them. Thank you again Les for all that you have done to share the wisdom and knowledge of the great wilderness and survival. Thank you for being you through and through.

[@RobertSmith-cx9bl]

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...

[@jamesbarfield8477]

Keep up the good work Les, it’s the little clues that begin the journey. The sounds, feelings, strange unexplainable structures in places no one would ever be. Sounds and footfalls in the night that don’t fit with any other animal. Then there’s the footprint out of place, barefoot when no one in their right mind would be going barefoot. Then the deer runs, herds in the same area as the footprints. Then if you’re lucky having traveled miles through the woods and then about to exit the woods and return to the world, you might want to turn around and look back and you just might see something like a dark shadow, a hump, blending into the background, the hill, the forest, black and big like a boulder or tree stump. Then as you give it a moment, it moves and is suddenly up and gone back into the woods. It followed you while in the forest, shadowing your journey curiously watching from a safe distance your every step, and yep, then you’ll know exactly what that was. No yelps, no whoops, no terrifying screams, no knocks, just a silent curious animal stalking you through its territory.

[@iyaayas5097]

I'm usually not much for the extra commentary, although this was really enjoyable. The strange connections with electronic issues, their ability to stay out of sight, and even sightings of orbs or strange lights is why there's theories Bigfoot could be ET.... I know, seems far fetched, but just as what was said.. When you look at all of the smaller signs/details and combine them... It makes you go, hmmm... I've seen, heard and had my own variety of experiences. Not just on this topic either. Have to be open minded

I recommend you go. It's amazing country. I went with my son in October, 2004. We camped at Aikens Creek campground, only a half-mile from where Bluff Creek flows into the Klamath, and had it all to ourselves. We had a lot of funny moments and one bona fide scary night along Bluff Creek, encountering a sudden smell at the same moment something started gruffly barking at us. Along the Klamath, we found three foot-shaped impressions in the soft dirt, spaced about 4 feet apart. We also hiked around Fish Lake: that seems like the best campground to really be close to Bluff Creek. Plus there were huckleberries as big as small grapes.

[@themaskedhobo]

One theory on the immense feeling of fear is that the Sasquatch can produce infrasound, which can be detected by humans but not through hearing. In lab tests infrasound can produce feelings of fear, paranoia, sometimes depending on volume even physical feelings like nausea and pain (Infrasound, human health, and adaptation: an integrative overview of recondite hazards in a complex environment -Persinger2014). The US military used weaponized Infrasonic devices in Iraq for warfare. There is even precedence in biology for weaponized infrasound, tigers use infrasound at 18hz immediately before pouncing. In theory at the right frequency it could vibrate components inside of electronics and cause disruption in the proper functioning of the device.
