Here it is! My NEXT Bigfoot Documentary! Join me on this solo adventure exploring the existence of Bigfoot on Mount St. Helens. In this video I traveled to Washington State where I hiked through Ape Cave which was SO cool and creepy! I then backpacked further up the volcano to a beautiful lake where I spend the night alone...and it sits just three miles from Ape Canyon--the site of the world famous "Ape Canyon Attack". I have to say, Mount St Helens and the surrounding Gifford Pinchot National Forest seem to be the perfect place for a species like Bigfoot to exist. This area has had a rich history of sightings dating back to the natives who all knew they were here, to the Ape Canyon Attack, to wild stories of government conspiracies and coverups in the aftermath of the Mount St Helens eruption.

Again, thank you to Ron Morehead for letting me use his unbelievable "Sierra Sounds" that he recorded. Also, thank you to Marc Myrsell who recommended June Lake as a squatchy place to check out.

If you guys in any way liked this video, you should also check out some of my inspirations "‪@MountainBeastMysteries‬ " "‪@SmallTownMonsters‬ " "‪@westernbigfootexploration‬ " and of course "‪@SurvivormanLesStroud‬ " and his Bigfoot series.

Another recommendation I have is to check out "‪@aflashofbigfoot‬ " . That channel is amazing and the documentary is called "A Flash of Beauty" . Incredible interviews by Dr. Jeff Meldrum, Peter Byrne, and more.

Always have to shout out Joey Coconut and "MyOwnFrontier" . His backpacking channel really guided me into my style of creating hiking videos, and the guy is also legit! He can now be found on Patreon.

Full Disclaimer: In this video I'm clearly stunned by finding large boulders on top of very big tree stumps. Ive done tons of research since and even reached out to the forest service. I can now conclude that the large boulders were likely placed on the stumps by a logging crew for several different reasons. This action could potentially be a way of removing obstacles for machinery or marking boundaries. However, it doesn't explain why small rocks would be scattered throughout other various stumps, or the tree wedged in between the stump and the boulder. The upside down tree at the lake very likely fell from the cliff. Or Bigfoot is real and is occasionally responsible for some of the oddities we find in the woods!

Also shout out to Dr. Jane Goodall and my hero, Sir David Attenborough

    I just wanted to say, this is hands down one of the greatest videos on the bigfoot subject. I've seen hundreds of videos and have a playlist on here almost 8 pages long. Have you thought of mounting a go pro or some kind of camera on the back of your pack while hiking and also when you dont have your pack on a harness to wear that would film from the back. Most just view ahead and things might get missed from behind, like the comment you said about something falling off your pack. Keep up the amazing work, I'm very proud of you. I'm not a big fan of whooping, calls or tree knocks. We truly don't know what they are meant as. I say this because what we do may offensive to them, as our whoops, calls or knocks could mean something totally different to them. Let them come to you instead of trying to force it. They know you're there before you see/hear them.
  • As a native elder i live around Algonquin Park in Canada. Algonquin Park is Canada's largest native park. I have seen more than my share of Windigo-BIG👣FOOT while trapping, hunting, & guiding deep into the woods as i sit in my blind ever so still. My people Pikwakanagan native tribe have lived among these hominids for as far as i can remember. White man must learn how to go about things when seeing a Windigo hominid. The utmost respect must be given! What i mean is my people leave gifts for them as a sign of good blessing. The best gifts to leave are filet fish, apples, native dream catchers, native inukshuk path crossings & leave your most personal item for them in good faith. Whatever you do, do not under any circumstances disrespect the hominid i repeat under any circumstance do not provoke or instigate. My people have lived alongside big brother as far as i can recall. This matter must be treated with the utmost care & utmost dwelling not to disturb the atmosphere that belongs to them. The reason you cannot ever find skeletal evidence of hominid is bc they live in a vortex & they can go in there of into vortex when they need to escape. When white man see them it was not intentional. How i know about this vortex is bc when in the smoke hut mediation it is shown to me how hominid big brother is able to go to & from this vortex. Until white man learn to have the utmost respect for big brother of mine they will continue to appear & dissappear into the protective vortex. White man have shown disrespect for this matter to the point that big brother knows if it was ever caught it would be subject to either being killed or put into a zoo. White man drastically underestimate the high intelligence of hominid big brother. White man must show Humility & utmost respect of reverence. My people know how to befriend big brother & we coexist bc of integrity of intelligence & Humility of respect. If you go into their home & don't leave them heartfelt gifts you are disrespecting hominid big brother & they sense white man's ignorance toward them. You enter their home & show disrespect. Leave the gifts i mentioned above & respect their land. Please remember when you enter their home if you show disrespect be prepared to be hit with rocks or chased or worse. White man must learn to know the ways of the creator to respect the land in which was given to us not to show disrespect. When we enter their home without acknowledgement of leaving them appropriate gifts white man show disdain for the domain. You cannot hunt the hunted Windigo knows more about you than you will ever know of them meaning unless you enter their home with childlike innocence only then will white man begin to grasp the way Windigo Big Brother thinks. Meegwetch. ✌🏽
  • I live in Oregon since born in 73. My life has been spent in the mountain woods, loving every minute of it, not just living in them but working, hunting, foraging etc. The totally secure feeling I always had, changed quite a bit in February 2021 when I found out without question that they are 100% real. Not knowing was better, as you will find out if you ever encounter 1 or 2. The image is burned into my head of the one I looked directly into the eyes of from roughly 60 feet away. Evil is what I saw and the whole experience changed me in some ways. Definitely takes away the peace of mind
  • My husband sent me this video. I was born and raised in OR/WA. I've had several encounters with them in Gifford Pinchot. You shouldn't go alone. Watching your video made me realize how stupid I was to be alone and I'd never go alone again. I kinda got anxiety watching your video. Theyre definitely real and definitely there. I think they're non-human primates, but I really don't know for sure. Whatever they are, once you see one, it will change your life forever, and give you PTSD. I love them and usually talk fondly of them because they tolerated me and let me be around them, but they are terrifying. I've been shot at, stabbed, kidnapped and held hostage and tortured and all sorts of crazy crap in my life but nothing has scared me more than they do when I've seen them or when they're mad and growl or bluff charge. I've had an encounter with a few that I thought for sure were going to murder me in the most vicious way, but they didn't. That feeling you got on that trail at night when you said "I think I need to turn around and go back" is what they do whencyou get too cloelse for comfort. Every time that's happened to me and I didn't listen, they'd make their presence known and throw stuff at me, break branches, pound the ground or bluff charge or growl and escort me out of the area. I never get that feeling with bears or cougars and I've encountered those too. In my experience, the whoops I've heard were from females telling their kids to shut up or be on alert, and from the males to tell eachother where they are and be on alert. They only whoop one time usually, not multiple times in a row. I will likely never encounter them ever again. It was a miracle I experienced what I have. It's a blessing and a curse. The most amazing thing but also the scariest. I really liked your video minus the ptsd anxiety part 😅
  • former logger here. the rock on the stump is most likely from a dozer pushing it out of the way for a tree and that would explain the log below it. most likely a smaller tree or a cut off limb got under the rock as the dozer pushed the rock up onto the stump. or a excavator with grapples on it picked the rock up and set it on the stump so it could move around better
  • Next time place a go Pro video camera on the back of your pack to film whats behind you. You never know what you might get.
  • I grew up in this area. It is crazy how much we didn't know about our backyard growing up! Those lava tubes blew my mind. I knew they were there but didn't realize they went back for miles! Very cool, bro! I backpack alone all the time; indeed, the best way to find out an area of interest! I can tell you without hesitation that they exist and would tread lightly when you enter their space!!! I believe many of the missing without a trace individuals are victims of this creature! They are, for the most part, very peaceful, nonviolent beings, but if you invade their space in a threatening way, you will become another statistic!
  • @bienbueno4032
    A breath of fresh air! A very nice film with NO nonsense goings on like SO MANY others. Being a Biological Anthropologist and avid Bigfoot researcher I watch many videos only to turn most off because of immediate nonsense and too much "I know that was a Sasquatch!" Keep up your great work and keep following those dreams no matter where they lead you. Enjoy the outdoors!
  • @AudioFreqx
    We were up there on May 18, 1980 and left at 6 AM. Just rolling into PDX when we heard about the eruption on the radio.
  • @Jocky9
    Dude you must have platinum plums camping at Mt St Helens on your own. Respect brother 🙏🏻
  • I’m legit terrified but it seems like when you did that whoop, that those birds responded with like a high-pitched chirping. And may not have been the Sasquatch that responded or maybe it was disguising his voice, but I think that was a response. Dude you just making me nervous out here by yourself. I can’t help it. Oh my God.❤
  • There's n o way I'd go alone in this forest, to many things happen and many people come up missing and yes listen to what your intuition is telling you at all times
  • After watching David Palides 411 series l feel l would never venture into these places knowing how many people vanish per year ! His stories for those that haven't seen them are apparently factual and some are just plain bizarre! Good luck out there champ !!
  • Ha ha. That bolder was placed there on that stump with a loader/backhoe by loggers when they clearcut that stand….funny! Gotcha! Also, I live here, grew up on these slopes from the early 1950’s to present. I spent many days and nights alone on St Helens; climbed on it; hunted on its slopes, skied Spirit Lake, etc. before the eruption. This is home to a lot of us. My sister and I had a Squachee incident back in the winter of 1975…we know they’re there….still.
  • @UDTGHOST420
    Yo bro, I'm a 2nd battalion ranger, and I wouldn't walk in the dark there without every weapon I could carry .you are a true badass .
  • @NoName-ov8wr
    I live in cougar and there’s been stories about this that’s still happening today. They are out there so tread carefully and respect their home. It’s been there’s before loggers started making a business here. They are huge as hell but they can be nice as long as you leave them alone. Always carry a bag of apples, that’s your saving Grace IF you stumble upon them. Trust me I know.

    We went down into Ape Cave as far as we could fit around 50 years ago in the mid 70s. It gets to a point where it has an upper level that I went in to. I squeezed and crawled as far as I could move. One of my friends had to pull me out by my feet. Looking back I think that was when I began to get claustrophobic anytime I went into tight spaces.
  • I was 11 years old when it blew up. I remember it well!! I was in southern California at the time. Everyone was stunned!! We heard stories of Forestry Rangers helping some Bigfoots that were injured in the explosion.
  • You wouldn't catch me down in those lava tubes, thats creepy as heck. Thx
  • I have trouble envisioning the tree landing upside down and going into the ground. One reason is because they’re bottom heavy. Also… if it somehow torpedoed down and landed on the top… you’d think the top would not only serve as a cushion… but it’s too frayed out to go into the ground. Nicely done video… looks like an amazing area
