I’m from New Hampshire. I’ve lived in Wyoming, Washington State and Oregon. I’ve done a lot of hiking, hunting, mountain biking and fishing in the backcountry of all these places. I’ve logged countless miles hiking in New England, more so than anywhere else. Of all the places I’ve been, and I’ve been way out in many, it was in Vermont on the Long Trail I had the creepiest, most frightening experience of my life. It was in the summer of ‘94 while sleeping in a bivvy sack. What was it? Never saw it. But, it touched my face through the bivvy, woke me up, terrified!! I completely lost control screaming. It took off like a freight train, down through a steep slope of ledge and trees at a speed that was unbelievable. I heard it for a long way. Down to the bottom of a canyon of 6 to 800 feet in elevation drop and up the other side, across from where I was at least a quarter mile away. It went up that mountain as fast as it went down the one I was on and I heard it the whole way. Massive, powerful , and, what’s never left my mind was it was on two feet. It was unforgettable and terrifying, and it happened in Vermont. Your story made me relive it. I’m glad you and your aunt got out with nothing serious happening. Thanks for sharing.

Base camp Chris. I love it when you camp & cook while you tell a story.

Another great video-thank you. I was in a Marine Recon unit back in the 80's-we operated at night and harbored up during the day. My squad, five men, had something similar happen one night on patrol with a large who-knows-what pacing us until about 4:15 am. Never saw it but it must have been big due to the noise it made plowing through the forest. Point and tail end charlie were not enviable positions that night.

My story!!! 💜💜💜 Thank you for sharing it Chris! I was able to hear you well through the rain too 😄. This is just one of my many, MANY creepy/unexplainable adventures. I can't stress how bad it scared me when we heard those footsteps start back up again after she fired the gun. And yeah, Primal: The Night Feeder. Aside from when they're fighting the thing by the end that's how it pretty much was and I still feel creeped out whenever I watch that episode. I've been out there since and nothing like that has ever happened again. Auntie thought Bear, I thought Cougar, but knowing the lore, a ley line running through the lake and native history of that beautiful place, I rather not know what it was to be honest. Spooky fact: there's a legend that somewhere at the bottom of lake willoughby, there's a huge cave with tunnels connecting to other surrounding lakes. I love to swim but have thlassophobia so my thoughts run wild with what and how big the critters might be that could be living in there.

if i am watching and listening to your stories at night i always make sure i have a light on. LOL.

Yay! My Sunday isn’t complete until I watch a video from BCC!! Have a great Sunday everybody 😊

Beautiful tent!

Loved hearing the rain!! Felt like i was in the tent listening to the story. So relaxing! Great video as always. Thank you!

Looove your new tent !! Nice addition to your show Chris ..

I travel solo…camp, hike…everything. I used to not be scared to hike alone…but now…thanks! Lol. Love that tent.

That story was so much scarier with the rainfall sounds!!!

Do you ever worry about attracting bear or other animals when cooking outdoors like that? Love the story, thanks for all you do.

Hey Chris and gang! Cheers from Okanagan valley British Columbia 🇨🇦

Brilliant Chris, stories, camping , cooking and coffee , thoroughly enjoyed your show. It’s always a thumbs up from me 👍

Your videos are so cozy and comforting. It's like hanging out with an old friend telling stories. ❤ And I love the rain sound on the tent. It may not have been planned, but it works!

Something similar happened to me at Toronto Lake, Kansas

Great story. That lemon pepper seasoning is great on veggies too

The tent is really cool. Unfortunately they say its currently out of stock. That rain was something else! That was a great story.

I was just looking to see if you had posted yet,,, ding ding I'm first 😀😇

I think the elderly man saw a Sasquatch and didn't want to sound crazy so he called it a bear 🤎👣🐻

"I'm going back to bed" 😂so many mornings I say the same thing. Especially when it's cold! Love your content!!! Please do t stop!!

Man I love your show. The rain just added an amazing atmosphere.

Hi Chris, Monday in New Zealand. Love the tent, wonderful really scary story and the rain actually sounded amazing! Hiking, tenting, story telling, cooking, a beer, coffee - perfect. Great job! Thank you 😍

I'm not gonna lie, that story frightened me. So glad those ladies got out of there. Always go with your gut instinct...and pack a 9mm! 👍 Thanks for another great tale, Chris!

Thank you for the spooky, creepy story! The tent with the stove inside is awesome - really like a little cabin in the woods!😊

And here I sit alone in the forest next to my small fire listening to Chris and now I hear creepy sounds. 😐

Awesome story, thx Kayla, thx Chris

Great stories today! Love the new tent. Hope you get it heated next time Until next week, happy hiking and camping Chris. Stay safe 😊

The rain on your tent was a soothing sound. Reminded me of times when I've camped out in a tent and it rained. Very peaceful atmosphere. Cheers.

Been waiting on you to post a new video! Yay!

Good Morning Chris from Arizona... Love the ⛺️!! Looks really warm and very sturdy... Boy, it is really raining where you are..Stay warm!! Dinner looks 👌 👍 Really creepy story...Glad they made it to their car and home safely ...

I am sitting quietly in bed listening to you tell this story in the rain and…I am scared stiff 😳 Great job Chris!

Wow that was a creepy experience they had. Thank you Chris for another great story. 👍

Love the rain in the background! 😊

LOVE the sound of the rain.

Terrifying story! Careful out there Chris! Your meal looked wonderful. Like the new tent. I would have slept like a baby in that rain.

You’re a good storyteller.

Great story! The rain made it even creepier! Lol

Nice, thanks Chris!

Love the new tent Chris! Great story, always look forward to your videos on Sunday night!👍 Hi from Prior Lake, Mn

Hi Chris!! Another freaky story!!! Good one!!! These two women must have been terrified! I like your cute little tent but all I could think of was bigfoot coming into say hello! 😅 You are one brave soul. Stay safe out there! ❤

Good morning from Laos. How long do you have to pump the tent? That's a workout. No need to go to the gym this week, Chris.

Yeah! I was missing your new video!!!! 😄

That was absolutely terrifying 😳 Love the new tent! Awesome setup!👏 Love the sound of the rain on the tent ⛺️ Sorry it kept you up tho …

loved being in the tent with you and hearing the rain. great story warm wished keep safe from cold Ontario Canada

Thanks Chris and the person that shared the scary story. Even creepier with the rain in the background.

Love the sound of the rain on the tent ❤

Cool ⛺ tent. Awesome evening, thanks Chris.

I want one of those! Love the tent!! Thx for another awesome time! Enjoy when you include putting the tent up and cooking, and the beer ofcourse. 😊❤😊

I enjoyed that story. It was great, one of my favorites. I love the tent, really cool with big windows in the back. It is really nice to see the cooking at the end of the video! Salmon and asparagus... yummy! Thanks for another awesome video, Chris!

Loving the new tent and your new truck😃

This was a very scary story! WOW! The rain dropping on your tent made me sleepy. Thank you for this awesome story. Have a great time Christ camping.!

That rain is the best sound ever!

Happy to be here. 0:51

Hey Chris! Great video (as always). I love that tent! It's so sweet. 🏕️ I laughed at the end of your video when you first woke up and realized how cold it was then you zipped yourself back up in the bag and said "I'm going back to bed."🤣 Smart man. 👍 The older we get the less we like the cold 🥶 (usually). Anyway stay safe. Got your bear spray handy? 👀 Luv ya. Your friend Liz from Michigan. 🥰

The rain added to the frightening story 😮

Hi Chris. I think they were way over confident in a .9 mm for protection against a Bear. You would be better off with a .44 Mag. The Wet Spot with the Claw marks, sounds like a Dogman. I don’t know if a Bear would do that. I hope you carry something for protection on your outings Chris. You live in a Beautiful area of the Country. I wish I lived there. I would be out in the Woods all the Time.😁👍👍 by the way, I love that Tent.👍👍

Hi Chris I love all your videos can't wait to see your next one I love your new tent to your friend from Pennsylvania Ed

🎉🎉1st to comment! Thanks for the video Chris!!

love the Pallas also my friend.😊

Hey Chris! It's almost a full moon tonight. We dare you to take your aztec whistle with you on one of your overnighters.😂 God Bless!

I'm not sure why but I love it when you say - " that's next". Stay safe look forward to your stories and the different beers. From NC

Looks as though you just needed to spin the stove around 180 degrees then the pipe will line up. Love your stories. Be safe.

Great story! Not knowing what us chasing you is even more frightening. I experienced something similar while night hiking in Germany. The growl was spine tingling.

Great story! Cool tent! Great, Awesome beer Carta Blanca I love it! Keep hiking 🥾 super dinner 😄❤

Thank you so much, Chris. I do really enjoy your stories and your adventures. Even when you're cooking in the rain, I can definitely relate. I love backpacking. I haven't done it in years but I love to get back into it. I hope the very best for you. Looking forward to new stories.

Like to hear more about that tent lol how ling did it take to blow up

Great story with rain made it even better!

Perfect way to wind down on a Sunday night

Your “camp” looked so cozy. The kind of place you could play a good game of cribbage with a camp mate!

I absolutely love hearing the rain on the tent while camping! Nothing like that hot cup of coffee in the morning at camp after a rainy night.. my favorite!

It's one thing to 'feel' like you are being followed but to Hear that Loud bellowing scream sound would be Too Much! ....Your salmon meal looks awesome!...Thanks Chris, Kayla and Aunt💜💚💙

Yes!!!! More content :)

Cheers I'm drinking a Corona beer listening to your story. That story was Awesome!!!!! Looking forward to next one...... Dinner looks Fantastic

Gorgeous tent. And that cute stove. I'd love that setup 👌🏼

Well that story turned out to be really scary ❗Especially when it fist started raining my first thought was oh noooo something is making close brush walking . For a few seconds I thought something was after you Chris ! I'm laughing at me now . 🤺LOL

You live such a cool life Chris! Keep the videos coming, it's the one thingsI always look forward to on Sundays!!

"It's original..there you go"....Lol

Thank you for always telling awesome stories looking forward to the next one

When things go wrong always have a good laugh

Very cool tent

The new tent looks super comfy! Great choice. The story is frightening. KEEP HIKING 😊

I enjoy your vids. The rain noise increased at the height of your story; good effect -ha. My kids and I spent LOTS of time in the woods. If you are there long enough, you see and hear strange things. We carry weapons pretty much 100% of the time. Thanks.

Hi Chris great story.....keep them coming.....cool tent.

Love the story, very cozy looking tent but also would be a little unnerving at night after the story 😮

Awesome tent! I love your stories. I'm now always leery of the woods

What a great tent. It performed really well.

Been checking all day. Perfect timing as it’s nearly dark! 😱

Right on Chris, doing a story in a rainstorm thank you for bringing us along. Glad to hear Kayla and her auntie made out, what the heck was persistently pursuing them?
