This episode is quite probably one of the best in this particular series. Well produced; excellent audio support and of course, Les himself giving insight and anecdotes to enhance the experience. Thanks for the Director's Cut. I for one am looking forward to your further explorations of this subject.

No lie, your series is what brought the sasquatch phenomenon to my attention and really made me fall in love with the phenomenon and the history around it. So thank you Les, for helping me find one of the most interesting mysteries and helping me learn more about it

Les I’m addicted to anything and everything Survivorman but I really enjoy the Bigfoot series. I was recently in a near fatal car wreck and your series is what is helping me cope with all the hours of bed rest and my extremely painful rehab & recovery. Thank you for trying to educate and inform all of your fans and viewers about desperately needed survival skills. Your master classes are great. It really gives me a goal to shoot for in my recovery. Get better so you can get outdoors. I even made my physical therapist laugh when she told me to keep pushing hard I told her you sweat you die. She immediately got the reference and busted out laughing. Keep up the great work and take care of you man.

"What I believe doesn't matter." This is the attitude that's missing in almost everything else I've seen on the subject. Just as interesting as the idea of whether or not it exists is the beliefs and experiences of the people living in these places.

@wonderingweirdo7476 Well, all of it, really, but essentially, this mistaken assumption that this thing they're claiming to be identifying, this "lack," or failure, in their estimation, is actually even a real thing, or if so anything that matters? Basically, considered in their singular, immediate context, one person's opinions on any subject _supposedly_ have no effect on reality.. even though it's well established that they do, but the.targe6 audience on this one was the slightly more skeptical type, still on the fence in regards to a great number of phenomena, or possibly even their own experience/s, quite easily won over to the ideas that they ought not ever believe or trust in their own eyes, ears, or common sense, & that anyone who claims anything at all outside the accepted norms, including them, is hy definition a liar, a fool, or a nutcase, & that we can just assume that every single tike & work from there as a premise, & then expect that if any such things existed then they would somehow have seen a great deal more evidence of that fact? So, bottom line, don't allow a simple truism like this idea about the itrelevance of a bunch of individuals different opinions requiring elements of faith tp accept, be successfully twisted into a weapon to damage your common sense, & causing you to unconsciously accept some insidious false notions, such as that no one's actually knowledge about this subject has any more relevance to it than their beliefs, or that there's a suspicious, likely indicative of some deeper, more nefarious reality regarding the subject, shared flaw among those interested in it, whether skeptic, believer, or knower. It's simply not true. For example, I _know_ sasquatch exist, or, I'm at least equally confident of the reality of their existence as I am of any other animal species I've never seen in person, or for that matter that I have seen in person, & I am fully aware of & ready to provide not just multiple examples, but also multiple different forms of irrefutable, incontrovertible proof, literally from 9-10 categories just whipping it off the top of my head(not gonna do it here on YT, but I can.. I've got writings somewhere I can dig up of necessary). And there's extreme value in all of that, for anyone willing to look(& I'm not unique in holding this knowledge, & there are others who have many times whatever amount of knowledge I have about the subject) as there is in the impossibly consistent details found in eyewitness accounts, & so likely in maky other details of their accounts as well, especially accounts from groups of eyewitnesses, & that were much more than fleeting glimpses, or occurred over time, at a cabin, or in a village or town, or rural home, of which there are many, & many of which are also backed by things like physical evidence(sometimes lots of it.. like poor doggies, deer, or livestock twisted multiple times like a twist tie, or ripped to pieces through brute strength, or thrown or carried 150 feet up into a giant fir tree, or whatever, cars, trucks, tractors, boats, or even single or doublwide trailers, or other huge, heavy items picked up & moved, or thrown, police reports & sightings, tracks of a depth folks cannot replicate one of(et alone an entire track way 20 tracks in length with double, triple, or quadruple the stride of a human, & dermal ridges, healed wounds, a general dermal pattern & distinctly nom-human morphology & mechanics despite some striking similarities, all consistently unique to only some, as-yet not officially catalogued by mainstream science creature, thus far identified by tracks, if considering tracks alone, in eastee & western Russis, China, all over N.

[@robertstimpfling5385]

Yes Indeed.

[@Reaver_Prime]

@The Doctor I kind of have to disagree. Most of the missing can be attributed to mountain lions, bears, venomous snakes, human stupidity, etc. But many Native American and First Nations stories tell of Sasquatch like creatures as being dangerous and kidnapping people. So while the percentage is very small, it shouldn't be discounted.

[@lindalarsson1436]

​@The Doctor Big Cat 57. You make no sense . Of course the disappearances have been publically discussed.

[@bijibadness]

i personally think that Les Stroud _nailed_ it with the narration on this series. it stood out immediately as someone who's followed his work for some time, now. at first i panicked when i saw _Survivorman: BIGFOOT,_ as Bigfoot TV series on the whole both suck AND blow. but it turned out really good. even GREAT in some parts. i've it saved on my computer for posterity. by the way, his _Survivorman_ episode on the jungle island where he goes into what occurs in the forest at nigh - i remember literally the entire floor moving with bugs - is one of the best, most memorable things i've ever seen on TV.

[@mar4oz]

Great commentary. I’ve never seen one but I know they exist. The circumstantial evidence that tips the scale for me is all of the recorded articles in newspapers going back 100-150 years there would have been no hoaxing going on then and the consistency of reports then when people had no way of communicating with each other was just phenomenal. They even match up with events today. It’s relatively easy to weed out hoaxes and hoaxing. Thanks Les

[@goodbyemr.anderson5065]

What?! Why could people make up stories 100-150 years ago? Back then g=hoaxes were much more common than they are now.

[@kukuinutzz]

Hi Les, thanks for continuing your work as Survivorman: not just as a teacher of survival and bushlore, but as the incredible videographer and filmmaker we all know and love. I have some information that might lend some possible explanation, or at least a direction, to your backbone discovery.... All through the 90s and most of the 2000s I worked in the forests of BC as a field researcher, and saw some pretty incredible/bizarre things. One occurrence that comes to mind was the discovery of an intact backbone that looked quite disturbing at first glance. It was laid out very similar to the one you found (IE: almost straight, perfectly clean, and in open sight). We determined it was a deer once we found the skull, and left it at that. Years later a local elder told us that sometimes hunters would "fillet" an animal like a fish if they were in a hurry, and carry the hide, and front and back quarters to camp for further processing. This resulted in only the backbone, skull, and gutpile being left behind. While I realise this does not in any way explain what YOU encountered, I thought it might help to hear that you are not the only one to have seen such an unexpected sight in the wilderness, and there is at least one possible explanation. Keep up the great work Les: see you out there!

[@0oPRIONSo0]

I’m an immigrant in Canada and have been here for 10+yrs now. I remember growing up and survivor man was the show that me and my dad sat down together and watched. But i recently discovered survivor man Bigfoot and I’m really enjoying it. I’m pretty sure if I showed it to him he’ll go down a rabbit hole just like me! So thank you very much Mr. Les stroud!

[@rkarins3825]

Loved the 'Survivor Man' series - and this series is wonderful, as well. Having spent a ton of time in the backcountry throughout my life I've had some interesting 'experiences' as well. One of the creepiest was 'hyena-like laughter' echoing in a remote bowl up around Mt. Massive, here in Colorado. That'll make the hair stand on end and freeze your blood, cold. One item to note, when the air feels heavy...no birds, no insects, no animals - the usually vibrant sounds of a forest become oppressively silent? Especially at night - when that happens, dial up your focus and attention because you may be close to having a truly unexplainable event, yourself.

No, Les didn't find/film one, yes, the series wrapped with an open ending and most of the questions left unanswered, but the sincerety and calm vibe that runs throughout make the series something to be experienced more than simply viewed. Great, great stuff. I hope like hell that there will be more one day.

[@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...

Hey Les, I've alway been a huge fan. But, Bigfoot....I am even more so....I study lessor primates and have always had hope that they have a big brother or sister out there..When I was in my masters program we were (oddly offhand) told to research the Mt. St. Helens eruption. The national guard, volunteers and unmarked army personnel were gathered to gather all the bodies: People, yes, but mostly bear, deer, elk, birds (raptors and owls), moose, wolves, fox, coyote, anything that died on that side of the mountain......including the large upright hominids indigenes to that area. Many people, volunteers and national guard alike, were forced to put many animals down.However, there was a special army detail specifically there to handle the ape situation. No insignia, no orders. A lot of helicopters. Volunteers had a liaison with who to contact if an ape was found. I was just curious if you (I know Paulides knows this he was referenced in our textbook) had done any research on this event. It is all FOIA available.

I find this stuff so interesting

[@Stagg3r]

You're a legend, Les. One of the few Canadians we can be proud of. Much respect and keep it up.

[@jamesnoriega4487]

Thanks Les! Long awaited Sasquatch re-visit...love it! I have to know, on your last episode of your last Bigfoot series (hidden world of Bigfoot) you heard an amazing vocal(scream like). What was that like? Did it rock you? From this side of the camera, it seemed chilling! Can you give us a few more words to what you experienced that night?

[@KawiAddict46]

Can you name that episode? I'd like to listen to that!

[@kerenstein5334]

One of my favorite B-roll shots is the white bear hanging onto the rocks with it's rear, trying to catch fish in the waterfall. I just love it. I almost want to go help the bear.

[@brenton2561]

My Friday night is gonna be sweet mate! Cheers Les!

[@brenton2561]

@Jack & Danny haha well I guess either way you need to use a little imagination😁

[@crushonspock]

This episode is the most compelling line up of synchronicities. The backbone on the shore, the tree falling and the utter stillness of the air and water - the stars lined up for you on this one. I can feel the message bleed through the digital relay - WE ARE HERE! So beautiful.

[@BHarry-mx9py]

Well. My husband and I had a native American living with us at the time of my sighting. He (na) heard me share my experience many times. I learned later that they were convinced my experience was true. Why? They said and I quote. "Because her experience was exact every time" lol.Less? I will take you to my experience location should you want to. Lol love ya man.

[@Khufu15]

I LOVE that you did the sasquatch series. Most Bigfoot shows are biased but obviously you were honest and factual. Love it !!

[@IronDogger]

I know that scream, I’ve heard it out camping alone with my dog on the Big Su River up here in Alaska. I grabbed my gun & yelled if they needed help and headed for the boat to cross the river & realized real quick the screaming stopped. Something crossed the river that night...and my dog and I were never the same again. I know for a fact they exist 👀but I still enjoy doing Bigfoot Hunter satire.

[@reeverfalls2069]

They 100% do man. And you’re not alone. Don’t be afraid to talk about it. And if anyone gives you crap then they’re the ones you should feel sorry for. For being kept in the dark and not using their head. If I may make a suggestion. You should check out “howtohunt.com” here on KZbin. He’s doing great work for people who have been ridiculed and outcasted because they had an experience with these beings. You love him. He has a no bullshit attitude as well

[@techotopo]

Suuure

[@IronDogger]

@@techotopo awwwww did you mix up your mouthwash and summers Eve again?

[@XxGamer]

If I lived out there all alone, I would also knock over trees to see your reaction. I mean what other form of entertainment would I have. The person would get a good story out of the experience and I would get a good laugh, win win.

[@Chevroletman5]

I have watched this series without the directors commentary 3 times and I'm enjoying it with the commentary, This series has opened my eyes up more to the possibility of it being a real thing and I thank you for that and hope to see more from you about it. Both series really draw you in it seems top be perfect I wouldn't change a thing... GREAT SERIES OF VIDEOS......Thank you again...

[@barlotardy]

You notice that the Patterson footage (assuming it wasn't just a guy in a suit) was filmed with an old reel film camera; Purely mechanical, no electronics to malfunction. Perhaps it's time for researchers to go low-tech again.

[@pjamabinsmarter6347]

The Patterson footage has many stories with it . One of them is that a Bigfoot termination crew bumped into the guys hoping to film Bigfoot. It has been said the hunters had a trained dog and were terminating a troop of Bigfoot. They killed a young one and buried it on the river bank and knew the female would come to it and give the opportunity to film it.

[@Knownprodigy23]

pjama bin smarter lol So you are telling me that they killed a big foot in order to film a Bigfoot?

[@Khufu15]

For whatever reason, my FAVORITE Les quote is. 'Here Comes The Rain" lol

4:30 Next time I take a pillow into the closet and scream my lungs out, I'm just copying Les Stroud.

[@danieljonhson6367]

I've loved watching survivorman and I've always been fascinated with anything to do with Bigfoot so I had to watch survivorman Bigfoot . Before this came out I wondered if you had any experiences with anything strange while doing survivorman then I watched you on a podcast on KZbin where you talked about the time you were in Alaska.

[@dummy4591]

Nice. I know where a bigfoot lives, but I'd be called crazy, or a nut job... Sad, this is an old story. Older people get called crazy... Why take a picture? I seen it... I'll never forget it. Why would I care if you believe me?

[@mrmatthew2443]

Nice sunburst Strat..!!! Looks a dreadnought next to and behind it., probably a Martin Love the native names for Sasquatch

Do more Bigfoot stuff Mr Straud.

Yaaaas!

[@brandiwisen8153]

Nothing less than amazing. Love these director's commentary. Stay awesome Les!!

[@Hoffa_]

Hi Les, I live on the 37th parallel in the middle of the country (Ozark) and have seen and encountered things I cant explain. I would love it if you could DM me your email address or something so I can share with you in detail and get your veiw on the situation. Thanks ..hopefully you see this

[@reeverfalls2069]

Hey man I really think you should check out “howtohunt.com” channel here on KZbin. He takes emails and will read them aloud on his channel and give his insight. Unless you don’t want him to. But he’s a good hard working honest no BS man. And I think you’d like the community around that channel. In any case I hope you find the answers you seek. The public WILL be made aware of these things. And soon

[@Hoffa_]

After years of trying to figure out what Bigfoot is... I've come to the conclusion that Bigfoot is a spiritual being of earth and can travel back and forth throughout dimensions. (Thats what my gut tells me anyway) P.S ... All my bigfoot experiences (3 different times) happened when I was alone in the middle of the woods hunting deer.

REAL QUICK THOUGHT..... Does anyone feel these California wildfires seriously effect these beings???? Been thinking about it lately

Brian Morit Do the wild fires effect imaginary bipedal hominids? No.

[@abovetheclouds3324]

Yes, since I have seen two and do believe I have wondered where they go.

[@imonlyaman4381]

Absolutely, Check out the stories about the burnt sasquatch after the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980.
