I HATE, when people discuss getting a body, to give to science. Like you honestly don't think, that the military hasn't already caught a few of these "Beings" and had their scientists do their damage???? And you wonder why they stay hidden, from horrible humans. Just because WE....know nothing about these beings, doesn't mean some CERTAIN people don't. You have to be of some "big importance ", or have seriously deep pockets. And another thing, if you are NOT, a nature person, if you do not camp, hike, hunt, fish and so on, why concern yourself with these beings period. They AREN'T bothering you, don't bother them!!! I do all the above mentioned, so I listen to keep myself informed on what to look out for. As far as "monsters".....mankind are also monsters, just saying....stop trying to kill what you don't understand. And as far as protection, they seem to do an excellent job at protecting themselves.

So let me get this straight...she is out in the woods looking for Bigfoot, sees a small one up in a tree, thinks it's a chimpanzee, ignores it, and then comes to the realization that chimps don't live in the woods, goes back to look for it and it's gone? Really? And the other time when she sees 2 Bigfoot walking towards her she runs at them? She is either the most inept researcher on the planet or not very bright.

We dont need 1 in a cage to study that's what's wrong with us to think we could just cage something so similar to a human but this much more treat them with respect and leave them alone that's all they want is to be left alone they despise us . ...

Pretty sincere emotions when the first guy said this thing stepped out, I could definitely here it in his voice without a doubt

Wow, as I'm listening to all your podcasts, things I've experienced are making sense. Especially the stone throwing. In 2009, in Las vegas, Red Rock Canyon, my son and I were hiking early in the morning. It was cold, and snow had fallen the night before. As we were finishing our hike, we were on a path with steep canyon walls around us. The walls were covered with desert plants and boulders, so we couldn't see clear up to the top. All of a sudden, rocks were being tossed at us as we were walking. At first, I thought it was a rock slide. But I realized the rocks were being thrown out from about the middle of the incline. When we stopped, it stopped. When we started walking, it happened again. The rocks were coming down one at a time and almost exactly where we were on the path. I yelled up at whatever it was to stop, and it got worse. We started to run at this point because I felt whatever this was hoping to hurt us. As we ran, it kept up with us still throwing rocks. There's no way it was a human because the terrain couldn't have been navigated that fast to keep up with us. I thought Mountain Lion, but Mountain Lions, don't throw rocks.I've been truly perplexed over this over the years. Listening to these stories, It very well could've been a Bigfoot.

They are not a species that we need to protect, it’s not an animal. There have been so many that have been killed over the years, we need to figure out why were lied to and what are they exactly.

Sometimes I feel it’s for the best that Bigfoot remain just supernatural folklore.

Kathy seems a little confused in my opinion

First story, the guy talks about rangers taking a cast of what they called a "bear" print, then destroying the evidence. Second story, the woman sounded like she was scientifically in the dark in regards to a specimen as there are accounts of the military/government providing medical assistance to Sabe when Mount Saint Helen's erupted. It is possible the there are Ageny's who know what is what and perhaps the path of public humiliation was at some point chosen for anyone who speaks up about sightings. It's a fine line between fact and fiction and there are forces who work to keep it as fiction, possibly for the survival of the species.

After probably a dozen "encounters", I consider Sasquatch to be an ally. In many ways they reflect our hearts with their behavior. We cross paths with them more often than realized.

Upside down trees or standing logs is a very old long term survival strategy. By placing rot logs upright you encourage more bugs to eat them which you can eat or use as bait. Eating grubs doesn't sound great but it is good for you and an intelligent creature can use them as bait to catch more substantial prey items like fish, birds and small mammals.

Hey Lady, in case you haven't been paying attention: BIGFOOT DOESN'T NEED YOUR PROTECTION!!!!

That second lady talking, does she truly believe that Government or military have never killed one of these beings? They know all there is to know about them.

This lady is lost 😂😂😂😂 hilarious

They probably needed night watchmen because they heard of some lunatic woman chasing them through the woods! 😂

Is Sasquatch an endangered species? Does Sasquatch need protection? I hope that the aliens don't need a body, it would be a shame if they ended up collecting Kathy or Wes.

It is a shame to see what seems like good people to be so lost on this subject. It is true I too was at the stage where what I thought was fact turned out to be not true, but I listened to people I thought were being intellectually honest about discoveries made were not. I do see why and what they had to lose, but I learned my lesson. First, Sasquatch is not an animal, and this lady should be well aware of this if she is indeed actually speaking with Native American elders. Yes, the different tribes do differ on tidbit things, but they ALL say that Sasquatch is a people to the point many refer to Sasquatch as a brother to mankind and others say a great elder as if they as a people have been around longer than them. The only time I have heard of any Native American tribe that does not call Sasquatch a people was one time and they called Sasquatch a spirit being of the forest that overlooked mother nature basically. Haha, she said they told her that they would steal children as a means of food resource hahaha. They are not cannibals and no more want to eat you then you look at Sasquatch as an appetizer. Furthermore, since their mind is warped and believe Sasquatch is some type of Gigantopithecus then science would benefit from a cadaver proving its existence and then would learn about their biology etc. If you truly know they exist why in the hell do you need to prove it to anyone else? If people do not have the mental capacity to do their own homework and figure it out for themselves then it is not for them to know. Yes, it is each of our duty to tell the next person and let them know, but it is not your job to convince them of the truth. Usually, the ones that laugh and make a stupid joke out of the subject when I try to let them know are the same one that if they did believe it, they would be out in the woods at night drinking beer and trying to spotlight Bigfoot to have mounted on his double wide trailer wall. She claims she is doing this to eventually be able to protect the future of their species. BULLSHIT she admitted that she got nervous witnessing them due to how fast, big, and strong they were. If they wanted to, they could have grabbed her and took off with her and nobody would have been able to do anything about it which she is 100% correct. So, knowing that why does she feel like they need protection? He even asked her why do you think it is nobody has been able to shoot and kill one? She said whatever she said, but the point is if nobody has been able to at this point so far what in the hell would compel you to try and protect them? From WHAT from WHO? Man does not pose any threat to them whatsoever. Do you see the contradiction in what she is saying? It really is laughable. When people act all tough and say they are going to go hunt one I wish them luck because they are going to need way more than luck to be able and even lay eyes on one. That is not to say Sasquatch is invincible or bulletproof. They can be killed, and they have been shot and killed, but the circumstances were not a hunting situation. The naivest thing both of them are saying is that if one were to be killed that they could just take the body to a science lab and then let science take its course. An autopsy will be performed, and science literature will be written, and the history books will be altered. Finally, they will recognize her for her contribution giving her a grant on a new cryptid expedition search. LOL, in their dreams, and what would actually happen is the government would come in shut it all down within an hour or two tops confiscate any and all evidence while detaining all parties involved. Little threats will be made like she was hunting on federal grounds and shot a species on the endangered list that is what the headlines will read. Unless she plays ball by keeping her mouth shut and none of this happened. The scientist's funds will all be frozen, and their grants will shut off and made to look like mad scientists' credibility ruined nobody will hire them with their licenses to practice revoked or whatever you get the picture. This is why a body has never been brought forth and will never be period. The way you prove their existence has been done it is called the Sasquatch Genome Project. The DNA analysis has been done. It was carried out the most professional way possible. Everyone involved did an amazing job and their credibility cannot be tarnished and if you took the time to look into it you would find that out. Honestly, they even went above and beyond in many cases where it was like overkill, but they felt like that was what they had to do in order to make sure nobody could say "ahh well they didn't do this or that and what should have been done is" because they already knew what they were facing and that once they brought their findings forward all the skeptics and debunkers would be coming from all directions. That is exactly what happened, but the only way they could denounce it was to flat out lie, and of course some are willing to do that, but most just won't say anything they pretend like it doesn't exist. So anyone that is searching for truth and are truthful with themselves can go and look at it and break it down themselves and then the truth cannot be denied. She just said we need their body to research their DNA hahaha. Trust me it is being researched still right now. Some scientists have taken what the Genome Project did and have picked up where it left off. I hear some exciting things have been learned and supposedly at the right time going to bring that forward. I was given a hint about what they are finding, but we will just have to see. Look it up folks the truth is out there, but you have to go and find it otherwise it isn't going to just fall in your lap.

Wow my name is Leon clips I am an African American and I listen to all researchers what is UFO Bigfoot JFK MLK Etc I've been listening to the Sasquatch stairs over 2 years I find them very fascinating and exciting never been camping in the woods I stay in Baton Rouge Louisiana but I love you guys stories so keep telling them I only can wish that I could go camping in maybe just hit a knock another sounds what but now I love listening to the podcast so continue to keep doing the good work and everyone have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

The supposed " TEACHER " ,, should have her license Revoked. . Total Disrespectful to First Nations, Native Americans who spent so much time teaching her Hot To RESPECT SABAE,, ( SASQUATCH).. Runs at them. ?? She ruined perhaps the only picture they would have had. Luckily there are Real Teachers, Researchers, etc that we not only have pictures but we have Film, many live films of them. Which someone like her should Never be shown... She'd ruin it somehow..

in my opinion the massive all gray is the Alpha of his family and it his duty to watch over possible threats. Based on the stories I heared when a massive all gray is seen there's must be at least 3 families under his protection with atleast 12 members or more. but you know it's really amazing to know that this kind of intellegent creatures exist.

I saw three of them in kootenai forest in september 2014. i have 6 photos and 50 sec video taken from other side of the stream, maybe 20/ 25m away. I'm not native to america and before that I never heard of bigfoot, I thought I was taking pictures of orangutans

I’m sure the park rangers are told to search for tracks and destroy them!

The story of chasing things is crazy if your a photographer you get caught up in the moment I chased after a mother bear with cubs after she was fifteen ft from me and as I was trying to get ahead of her and catch a good picture it dawned on me .I immediately headed back to camp realizing if I ran into her again she probably would of took me as a threat this time stocking her.

Merry Christmas everyone!! ⛄🎄

Leave them alone

I hope you ( Wes ) are keeping an eye on David P's Bigfoot 101 series.

You don’t need to kill one to prove them 🤦‍♂️ you’d basically be killing a human!! Come on people keep up

The Great Ape will "huff" when showing territorial aggression. And ya said it backed off when you lowered your heads. An ape sees eye contact as a huge threat.

James was wonderful… God bless him.✌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Glad to hear from Victor. God bless him. I look forward to his book . Take care Jeff and God bless you🙏❤️

Yes another upload... perfect timing

Lol, when I was first starting out fishing for trout, I ventured far off into a closed campground and got to a place where there were a bunch of planted trees in a clean line, and I had this immense feeling I was in a precarious location (and nobody else knew I was there), still don't know if I just got scared, which for sure was part of it, but I heard something big behind those trees moving and snapping branches in some fashion (just loud snapping, not sure if it was walking or from coming down from the tree etc) but I saw this dark mass over there and was convinced it was a bear, so I sort of frantically backed out of there while yelling, "hey bear, woah bear" and got out of there pretty quickly, even though that probably wasn't the best course of action. Anywho, a couple years later I find myself reliving it and questioning that it was a bear, I think it could easily have been a bigfoot as I remember it seeming to be standing bipedal, but it was too much of a blur to confirm that...but I just think if it was a bear it would have reacted more, it instead just stayed there as I panicked out of there...I'm probably just being silly, but for some odd reason I feel that it was a bigfoot and not a bear, but naturally, being new to nature at the time, and afraid of running into a black bear, I just assumed that as soon as I saw a mass and heard noises, and noped out of there lol. Later on, I still went to far off and away from people places, as that's always my goal, and one of them was a hiking spot high in the mountains that is mostly mountain bikers, and I found so many clear giant human footprints, your typical bigfoot, and by then I knew about them and it made sense, they were coming from the steep mountains and stepping once or twice on the trail to continue down or up. Saw them the entire way along the trail. It's actually super easy to find their tracks lol.

Such a fascinating topic,i literally listened to hundreds of encounter stories and hoping i hear a encounter story from my home state of NJ..it seems the encounter stories from NJ are north of me.. thank you wes for all your hard work brother..

Nice to hear Kathy insight

The Decent of Woman by Elaine Morgan gives a very good argument for our large brains and no fur on our bodies because our human ancestors when they came down the trees, moved to the oceans. Living along the beach enabled them to explore the use of tools with little fear of predators. The loss of hair because we spent so much time in water, etc I wonder if Big Foot are our ancestors that evolved in the forest and did not go to the ocean?

Lol...the squatch doing samurai gibberish from Sierra sounds in the intro sounds like he either said , "uncle buck", or "what the f*ck".

Just in time for the holidays!

Gripping real life story that captured their ultimate fear factor encounter, still to the core today of not knowing what they were facing or dealing with in the depths of the woods Another truely great podcast with guest speakers in the field of science to this known species correctly and scientifically analysing their habitant and gaining the right evidence, approach in collecting data, for like any species is examined ..I have heard of other workings similar to this in the field of species behaviour analysis , I will look forward in reading, listening to the links provided and following Sasquatch chronicles with great knowledge , experiences I am sure they are working on many plans to capture evidence in an controlled setting .Thank you again, You capture us on details , knowledge and moving forward in Bigfoot research 📿🙏👁

Killing one is killing a family member I think it would be like killing one of your family members

My grandma told me about Bigfoot 1970s missippi cross her yard bouncing on their bollox same year 1970s Spacehoppers invented

Anyone consider that sasquatch could be a projected "alarm system" deterrence to prevent stumbling in to something else?

That was very interesting!

Been waiting for this

A tank coming through a window.... sounds accurate!

I like this Storys. Greetings from Berlin Germany.

Love the music on this one

I've not said this ever, BUT I CALL SEVERE BS WITH THIS LADY. ALL HER DESCRIPTIONS ARE , I SAW IT HEAD TO KNEES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. HONEY, WHEN YOU HAVE A REAL ENCOUNTER, YOU'LL REMEMBER EVERY SQ INCH OF IT, PERIOD. GIVE HER LIE DETECTOR TEST, I'LL PAY FOR IT...

This is very close to my experience I didn’t see it but that grow I’ll never forget didn’t stick around I ran so hard in the pitch black through the woods and never been back .

The naïveté of these folks that think if you kill one it will prove it is hilarious to me. These things have been killed MANY times and they are suppressed each time. This will be no different.

Wait a second..... this lady said "if they have a hunter with them who may shoot a Sabe', the person must have a hunting license or they are removed from the group"? Uhhh where do you apply for a Sasquatch hunting license????

It’s people like this that has caused so many things in California and across America, to be shut down. Save this creature, protect that. None of it needs our intervention or protection

Who runs toward a Creature with a young one with it? Lady maybe re think your actions. Lucky to be here.

She said they had a tracking device on one for months, but cannot find one to shoot. That doesn't make sense.

Thats how one gets s sighting or encounter. Wild and unknown locations. Bowl type settings just below ridges, keeping others down-wind /undectable.

“It was really gray. Just like a gray person would be.” ...wut?

They are not animals they are people

The DNR knew what youve seen and was there to cover it up.

this lady has to be the craziest encounterer ive heard. runs toward them. n

It amazes me that in a moment of shock at seeing one of these beings, just how much detail they take in !! Why don't they just take a selfie?? 😅

Real scientists keep an open mind. I wish her the best in her work.

Why are academics always such pickle sticks lol

57:15 yeah right 😅 we take it so no one else steals it then we put it back 😂😂😂😂yeah riiight

Love the coldplay intro song

I understand someone going into the woods for whatever reason and encountering one of these creatures and sharing their finds with whoever wants to hear. I enjoy hearing about the experiences, however, what I do not enjoy is people taking it upon themselves to track down these beings just for the fun of it or to prove they have the capabilities to do so. Dont we ever learn? Must we always try to disrupt or destroy every and anything that does not line up with our understanding of it? They live in the forest, and while for the life of me I do not understand why they seem to be moving closer to civilization, unless they enter your domain leave them alone. As humans we are still trying to figure out how to effectively co exist with one another and therefore is not qualified to disrupt the flow of the unknown.

Great stuff

The amount of embellishment given in the telling of this story is insane.

Keep calling them animals, calling humans animals, and she steals artifacts? Shame on the so-called scientist. Get some respect.

Bigfoot is the only reason I’ve got my rifle permits. I don’t plan on “hunting” but I don’t like the idea of needing a rifle and not having one.

She needs to be careful.. running out these creatures I don't think that's the best idea cuz all I have to do is turn around and grab her and that's it

I must say one of my favorite episodes. The song at the end is so catchy, I can’t get enough.

Sasquach does not need saving. Lol.

Gary Busey had a hell of an experience!!

Tranquilizer darts Why haven't people thought if you're going to shoot, shoot with a tranquilizer dart. If they can take down elephants. They can take down 1 of the creatures. Even her theory of killing one is flawed. How many is she willing to wound and harm for the unlikely chance of kill one ??

Les, Love your work man, There seems to be a renewed interest an effort in Port Chatham, AK... I know you have been to AK before but did you go to that area? In my opinion, there would be a youtoob breaking episode if you went to port Chatham and did the Surviverman Level Effort to answer some questions...... Maybe even with your choice of a small security crew just in case... If you can, use tethered surveillance blimps properly positioned so anything with a heat signature that moves gets filmed... and located immediately so you know exactly where to go with your cameras.. in real time... The first person to get undisputed evidence on film will be a billionaire quick.... It would just be good to see YOU get the undisputed evidence that finally answers the questions..... None of the other TV people seem to want to do what it's going to take to get it done... Merry Christmas Les... GODSPEED..

Wow, I love Big Foot stories. Why do I love them so much??

Utterly stupid idea to kill one. Why does anybody need to prove they exist.

I'd be so pissed at that woman for "running at" the alleged Sasquatches.... Everyone else is lugging cameras and whatnot, but you're going to run at them out of nowhere and screw up the most important photo maybe EVER.... Plus, she goes from being so courageous and stupid that she's going to ruin everything by running at them, to being so afraid and fragile and meek and wanting to leave.... I believe in these creatures, but none of her BS....

Where's my rifle ? lmao. Cheers!

What I find unbelievable abt squantch “sightings” is why are they always “evil beings”? Anyone tries being like hey!? What’s up buddy? And got a selfie together, made friends, ended up best man at lil squantch’s wedding etc…. It’s just weird that they always wanna eat you is what I’m sayin. If they were vicious man eaters we would probably have way more encounters, that were probable, with evidence and stuff. Someone woulda shot one while getting eaten or something by now. If I ever see squantchymandog I’m gonna try the ol “I come in peace” and try to befriend it. Jus sayin. I’ll have a gun tho too, you know, for Justin. Justin Case.

Wow, weird to hear my miniscule hometown by name. Shes talking about the Tuolumne Mi-Wuk tribe most likely. When the rim fire happened I had a handful of possessions loaded in our decrepit motorhome fearing the fire wouldn't be suppressed and we would be evacuated. Luckily we made it through but that entire area around Yosemite will never look the same in my lifetime, all because of irresponsible tourists and hunters driving up from the flatland and being irresponsible.

This Blood sample l come on here and this podcast is 3 months old . And l want to know where do we find out about this blood sample?

I seen a big butt in 1975 Cisco Grove California. I was sitting on a fallen tree stumped it was a hot hot day my friend went to go take a wiz he left about 1 minute and if fear of anxiety came over me it was overwhelmingly noticeable I started looking left and right wondering what the hell then I looked straight ahead about 70 feet in front of me was a big foot looking at me from behind a tree I didn't know what time it was a Bigfoot but when we saw each other I got a weird feeling my friend came back I didn't say anything more about it

Your idea of "for science" is not better than the hunters btw...lmao.

oh wow

I think the governments should take measures to protect sasquatches, close off territories of their habitat from curious onlookers. Seems these are very rare species that need to be defended. A lot of crazy people are out to hunt them, disturb them and that's not right. The environmentalists should do something about it too, maybe ban hunting them. There is a guy in Texas who shot one and boasts about it, he put the corpse out for display. Now thanks to him, it's gonna inspire other hunters. Awful.

Who is the female artist singing this song at the end of the program

My gut reaction was, "STOP IT!! Shut up!". But, after consideration, I have to ageee. They are right, we need one.Thanks Cathy!

These videos never pop in my feed I have to go to the channel to find them. It's weird the others do all the time just not these.

Les needs to come do a Yowie episode here in Australia.

The title reads"...by Les Stroud', yet this is really hosted by Wes Germer and directed by Wes Germer. Can someone draw a line for me from one guy to the next? I read the 'Please Note' line meant as a disclosure, but that doesn't help from thinking it's just click bait because if you read through the comments, people are writing to Les, commenting to Les, not Wes.

Kathy sprinted TOWARDS the Squatch... I can't imagine

I would interested in Jane Goodall's point of view in regards to shooting one in order to prove its real... Who are you to decide "without any proof one way or the other" whether they are something more than other animals or perhaps some form of human.

Hadih 🤔I enjoyed Jame's story. This white lady who is archeologist. NATIVE AMERICANS should have the artifacts. My goodness leave these beings/ mystical creatures/ big foot/ saskwatch ALONE. Some of our Indigenous people in communities believe are they are beings that are protector of the forests. And killing these beings for science is so wrong. Let them be. We have some big foots in our Wetsuwet'en territory. Listen to Bill or Tom Seeweid(spelling) from the Kwakwaka"wakw territory. A few UKposts videos of him. I was told that these mystical beings chooses people who can see them. I believe that. However; there ones who accidentally run into big foot. Let them be. I really enjoyed James ' story 🤲. Too bad about the developments. The destruction of the lands.😔. Otherwise, other stories that were shared were intriguing. Sne kalyegh 🤲

Can somebody please tell me what song it is at 1:59

Seasoned NYS PSC INSPECTOR MEETS WITH HUNDREDS OF SASQUATCH WHILE INSPECTING TELEPHONE CONSTRUCTION IN OUTSIDE PLANTS. LATER as a taxi driver communicates with his friends flying Saucers, Trianles, Cone Shaped Interplanetary vehicles.

I've got pics of prints and 5 encounters in potter NY

I was all into it till the end when you guys where talking about shooting it, killing it. As far as those artifacts that is some serious moving spiritual items. Please Be Careful 👀 👻

Why not try and communicate with sasquatch instead of killing them? As soon as they are identified and announced to the public - these creatures will be hunted forever. Does she really think that they will be protected? If she is a good anthropologist she would know that humans will not leave them alone. She just wants to be the big discoverer - it's ego and this is a shame because we all know this will be out of control.

They are in Santa Cruz CA.

you going to tackle them. Funny
