"Believe in yourself even if no one else does" Bigfoot

I binge watched survivor man in prison and it helped me survive and get on my feet. Find work, a place to live and it worked!

I absolutely love the Sasquatch Series. Lifelong fan here, I grew up learning from the content that you have produced and your books were like my bible as a teen. You inspire me over and over to pack my gear and get outside searching for adventure. Much love Les, you are a true teacher. Thank you.

"i'm a sceptic", hears a sound. "Thats a bigfoot" 😃

Les, many years ago I was in hospital having had mental health issues. I have been a fan from day one! When I came out of hospital I had a tattoo done of Ur logo to remind me to fight on no matter the odds, as u teach!! Thank you for being so honest and real.

I wonder how many times other Bigfoot hunters woop at each other without knowing it. I'm homeless and disabled. I'm trying to raise money to get a RV for me and my kitty to have some where to live. My video has links to my fundraiser.

I love how Les approaches everything with an open mind and uses facts. Not letting his emotions influence his decisions. Awesome!

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...

“I would like Bigfoot to exist. I’ve met people who swear they’ve seen Bigfoot. I think the interesting thing is every single continent there is an equivalent of Bigfoot or Sasquatch. There’s the Yeti, the Yowie in Australia, the Chinese Wildman, and on and on and on. I’ve heard stories from people who, you have to believe them. So there’s something. I don’t know what it is.” - Jane Goodall

Less Stroud is the perfect person to prove or disprove bigfoot. One of the few people who could survive in the areas required for the amount of time required to have a bigfoot sighting.

A bird flies off her nest. Todd Standing “That was a bigfoot!” A rabbit runs across the trail. Todd Standing “That was a bigfoot!” Finally bigfoot comes out of hiding and he is 10 feet away and Todd has the 4K camera ready to record and damn wouldn’t you know batteries ran out of juice.🤣🤣

One of my favorite TV series ever (Survivorman too). Too bad it was short-lived. I hope you are doing well Les!

*thunder rolls in the distance* Todd: "That. Was. A bigfoot." Les: *side eyes

7:51 I have personally seen.....trees snapped like that due to weather conditions. it wasn't heavy snow, like you'd think, and it didnt happen all at once or even with a season. we had an ice storm one year and while thay alone cause a lot of trees to fall, it also killed a lot of thinner, younger trees. those trees stood up but were clearly dead....no new growth. then, late the next summer, we get a storm that spawns many tiny funnel clouds, some of which touched down (a EF0, would be the size, though one really cool thing was a scar one funnel left on the field by our place....it left an area about three feet wide and six feet long of sand....fine, beach type sand. no field top soil but sand and only there. stayed like that for years). When that storm came through, that is exactly what the trees looked like. they wouldnt all face the same direction either. I noticed while on the school bus one day that the broken trees almost seemed to make a spinning pattern as we drove down the street (not, to me anyway, indicating a funnel but, instead strong gusts of wind in various directions). odd thing was that they were all snapped at lower heights than you'd think but often above where a human could reach. they would make a semi-clean break, but be still resting on the tree trunk and attached. it seemed the ice froze all the water in those smaller trees and while they were clearly dead, it wasn't until they were snapped over that you could see that there was decay on the inside. they were all spaced out as well. they weren't a close lump of trees.

One of my issues with the "I was in the middle of nowhere, why would someone be there?" You're there, so it's not the middle of nowhere. If you can get there someone else can and there are a lot of humans with a lot of time on their hands lol

You are such a straight arrow on this subject, I really hope you continue to look at this in more detail.

I love how he's skeptical, but respectful to the idea.

You know why he is the best? No ads, he’s purely a simple man with extraordinary skills Les is a baddasss

I live in a pine forest. I have watched single trees snap when no others around them did. Especially when they have snow and or ice on them. The wind blows and they start swinging back and fourth, its always the smaller trees that it happens to as the wind gets forced between the bigger ones increasing the forces on the smaller trees. They always seem to break at the point above a 3-4 branch junction 10-15’ from the top. If you look at how they grow. You’d notice the diameter reduces by about 1/2. And they always break into a road if they’re along side one. Also. Those structures always have a young tree in the center and much older trees around them. It’s pretty simple. That tree grew after the other fell. It picked them up and took them with them as it grew. I’ve also watched this happen. Les might have the advantage of being in many different forests all over the world. But ive lived in the same one for a long time and watched these things happen over and over again with no footprints or Bigfoot legends in the area.

I love this. I just found all of the survivorman episodes on UKposts and became obsessed. Now I find the Bigfoot eps. My summer break just came. Guess who’s watching all these.

I imagine that every “test” whoop they do some camper about 500 yards away leaves everything and runs all crazy off into the woods.

Nothing better then watching Les sitting around a fire at night, listening to his thoughts & the wind thru the trees. Wishing we were out there with him. Mystery just inside the tree line. We need more videos please!!! Great stuff.

Les, please bring this program back... more episodes!

Les your work is absolutely class. Started watching this series a 3rd time. Absolutely brilliant work. 👏 Love your work and what you have done for this genre of entertainment. You definitely are it's father.

I must say until I started watching Les Stroud and the way he goes alone into the wilds I was never a believer in Bigfoot. Then I moved to North Carolina, and I had something happen to me late one night that freaked me out beyond belief. Now, don't get me wrong, Les is the MAN! not sure I could do what he does and has done and keep my sanity. About two month ago in November of 2020 I was driving home with my wife in the Jeep JK on a section of I-85 outside of Kannapolis. The road goes for a down hill section then up again in a mile section with an overpass at 1 mile. The traffic was light just some cars ahead of me a good distance (about 1/4 mile), my brain went nuts and told my right foot to let up on the gas and to say in the second to right lane, then I saw a large bipedal like a person crossing the road in the taillights of the cars ahead. I just did not know what was going on and the distance passed fast at 65 mph, and when I got to the spot a LARGE, tan and harry shape passed by the Jeep in the right lane. I was taller than the Jeep ( I have a 3.5 in lift on 35 inch tires so it isn't small). I freaked me out so much I started shaking and asked my wife if she saw it and she didn't. But, I did and it was terrifying. Now every time I come to that section of highway I look, there are lots of woods and deer get hit quite often, but this was no deer. it was tall and tan and I can see it today as if it happened yesterday. I just thank God I listened to my inner voice, and did not hit whatever it was.

Les, if you ever make more videos focusing on bigfoot or the supernatural, I have but one request: please spend more time interviewing, speaking to, and sharing the stories of indigenous peoples. I don't believe in bigfoot, but I've consistently found natives' accounts fascinating. I love how you share their stories without dilution or interruption. This is anthropologically worthwhile, and something you should do more of. It shows how people experience and interpret the wilderness, regardless of whether there's something unknown inside of it.

Mr Stroud, you are one of the best in living Surviving-- Respect 100%

I have watch the Survivorman Bigfoot series countless times. I love that Lea takes the devils advocate approach. Rules out the obvious until you’re left with the only plausible answer !

Les... I love how you treat Tod with manners but still at arms length so your ideas and investigations are not soured. Brilliant video brother....👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks for uploading these, Mr. Stroud. Enjoying them immensely! ✌

Acquired alot from you over past few months. Brought me back from childhood. Thanks for what you do it's all about passing down knowledge and helping your neighbor. God bless Les!!

I have been so happy to see you cover bigfoot. Going in a small group and not have a spotlight on all night for cameras, is something I have been dieing to see. If more people investigated this way I think we would have tones more credible footage. Running around at night with a bunch of loud people and bright lights tends to drive wild life away. If I stumbled into the woods and saw a bright light and loud noise, I would stay away from it but keep my eye on it for distance.

That structure looks like an old hunting/trapping camp. You can see the makeshift rectangular horse corrals that fell down. Would be easy for some woodsman/outfitters to make that structure with multiple horses. Those broken trees are trail markers for when the ground is covered in snow and you can’t see the trail.

We want new episodes please love watching your show you keep it real thank you for that!!!❤

Watching these episodes back in the day made me go get two things for when I’m in the backwoods. A camera and a chest holster. Absolutely enjoy watching these

Anyone else get the feels when that crunchy bassline kicks in in the intro?

Oh yeah!! Binge watching me some Bigfoot and Les vids before a 7 day winter hike in the Olympic mountains. Thanks Les! Merry Christmas

I have been watching a lot of Sasquatch Bigfoot videos and I have to say survivorman you put out the best videos out there! you need to do more of these videos on the subject I have watched them over and over and over! so good!!!

After finding this channel because of these videos, I must say, great show, really interesting videos and I like the way you're looking for them.

*MORE BIGFOOT SHOWS* *THANK YOU LES*

Thank you les. Your series is 👍. Am a new viewer but am very interested in your finding Sasquatch!!!

Thank you so much for high quality closed captioning! Another little thing that shows your high quality!

NO DAMN WAY. Les finally put this up here. Awesome. I loved it when it came on TV, so that's why I was hoping he'd put it on YT where I could rewatch it. It is not on TV anymore.

Would love another season of this

After hear those noises into the night go after investigate deep don't let them smell your fear Todd is a legend and a bigfoot expert Great program !!

Les is the greatest thing to happen to TV in history ❤️❤️❤️

Subscribed and liked to this video... Man, i remember watching les as a young man. Now I'm older, but still wanting to watch les + bigfoot✌

Who else is is happy for Les that GoPros and small power banks make it able for him to move even more remotely while filming it all! Too cool. Thanks for sharing these with us for free, I don’t skip the ads so you make as much $ as possible. You deserve it thanks again.

Hello. I'm not sure who from Les Stroud's crew will see this, but I hope they will. In this video, Les actually filmed a Bigfoot or something Bi-pedal moving across the trail behind where he and Todd Standing just left. I first saw it when the Episode first aired years ago, but found it again on UKposts. The Title is: "Survivorman Bigfoot | Episode 1 | Alberta | Les Stroud | Todd Standing" The context: Les and Todd had just heard and reacted to a whoop sound to their left. After a brief pause and acknowledgement they moved on down the trail. While Les is narrating the camera picks up an image moving from right to left behind him over his right shoulder. Time in the video is 24:10 thur 24: 26. The exact moment is 24:21. Hopefully some viewers will look this up as well.

Hi Les. I'm in New Mexico..I'm a former police officer and amateur outdoor and wildlife expert, and last year I went through months of experiences which could have been bigfoot, like wood knocks, large tracks, and something charging me at night in the forest, sounding like a truck driving through, and breaking trees, while doing "wood knocks" in the process, which I actually think may be a chest knock, or some kind of vocalization, since I only got replies to my own knocks when I was able to copy a knock that sounded exactly the same way I've heard many times before. I would like to talk to you, if you find the time.

I would love to see more of these Bigfoot episodes especially the one while you're alone. Thanks for the uploads.

that is honestly the best and scariest footage of bigfoot I've ever seen

Les is the best, great series.

Yes yes yes ! I’ve been waiting patiently for ages for these Bigfoot series. I didn’t get the chance to see them on the website so I’m so grateful for Les putting them up for us all to see and enjoy. Thanx Les your a excellent teacher and are true to your word. Have a very merry merry merry -🍺🥃 😉 - Christmas and all the best for 2020 !.

I listened to/watched this show all day at work today lol.

I thought I saw Bigfoot once, but it was only my mother's husband with his shirt off.

Have watched before and the commentary ones but love how in his if nothing happens nothing happens watching again!!!!

Cool! my favorite topic lol;) thanks Les and Todd!

In my opinion, the forest can play tricks on the mind. As well animals of all sorts can make sounds we didn't know were possible. That being said I still have a small place in my mind remaining open to the possibility that there are things on our planet we have yet to classify and discover.

Les get more Bigfoot action in one episode then the world got in years.

Under the topic of Bigfoot, my experience was back in 2001 during late winter up in Catskills, New York. Since was a kid I enjoyed watching survivor man shows and wanted to try several of his own survival skills to learn how to survive in the wild or worse case scenario. So when I lived in Catskills, I went camping solo and pitched my tent and gathered several edible plants around the campsite before night fall. It must have been around 2am mother nature woke me up and I went out of my tent and walked straightly from the door of the tent to cross the little river to do what I needed to do, turn around and cross over the little river and no tent… I returned to where I went and turned around again and crossed again over the little river, no tent. Crossed two small rivers, no tent. I returned to the two small rivers and cleared the island between the two little rivers, even if it was muddy I prayed for protection from the elements around me and laid down to sleep… temperature was about 58°F but dropped down to 34°F, that’s when I felt something 3 times my height lay against my body and hairy. I felt fear at first but then felt safe, warm and didn’t even dare look or check what was laying against my body, so I fell asleep. When I woke up I could see sunlight through the leaves and cold. I got up and checked for paw prints or something like that to know what type of animal was keeping me warm during the night… nothing was found, and the ground was muddy enough to preserve whatever prints but the only prints were from my hiking boots. When I searched for my tent from the island that I slept on I spotted my tent approximately 20ft away. I went back to my campsite and packed up everything and left the woods. I am only 5ft tall and look younger than my age, sometimes people think am a teenager during that time when I experienced Bigfoot, now that am older I still thank G-D for sending me that creature to keep me alive.

Come on man, you put out apples but you don't put out cameras???

Been following you Les from day one on TV. Love the stuff you produce alone and with your son. I was wondering with apples...why wouldn't you use a game camera pointed at the apples?

I could watch these episodes non-stop, Les. Keep em' coming! Can't wait to wrap my head around the rest of this series. "Amazing" is the only word that comes to mind. Thank you!

That tree structure at 16:00 can absolutely happen naturally. I've been outdoors person all my life and i've worked as a lumberjack for 5 years now (i'm 21 btw), and i see all kinds of strange tree trunk structures in the woods. When the guy asked if les has ever seen a tree trunk upside down like that, it can absolutely happen if there's a lot of trees leaning against each other just like you see in the video. All you need is another tree falling down on top of that structure with a lot of weight and force to lift its butt of the ground. Those kinds of structures are cool and all but dangerous as hell for me as a lumberjack Btw you can clearly see a cut tree stump at 16:32 so when the guy said that the structure is probably 30 years old, it might as well be man made. The tree that is "bent in to the structure", that happens when a bigger/heavier tree falls and starts to lean on another tree. So that is also natural

So relaxing I come here to watch you when I have anxiety ext 😂 👍😎

yall are Gs fr for posting full ep

I remember watching this episode back in 2015. I'm not a Bigfoot researcher but when they were sitting around the campfire at night and they heard the two wood knocks within several seconds of each other and Todd stood up and popped his mouth.... I don't think I would have done that because all that did was let whatever was out there know that Les and Todd were aware of them. I think maybe if they would have sat there and been quiet that whatever was out there might have come in close enough that they could have got a visual on it

Love the series hope there's more

The tree break thing seems to be Todd’s go to and it’s really not proof of anything so it’s annoying there’s so much focus on it

4:16 You forgot Samsquanch lol

This Todd guy is a fanatic and brings down the legitimacy of Les' skeptisism and realism.

While staying the night in Yosemite National Park with my father back in 2011, I was actually awakened in my tent by what I can only explain was a bigfoot howling and yelling. It was unlike anything I'd ever heard before or heard since, and I know it didn't belong to any known animal in that region or even the world. It was so surreal and unsettling to hear not only something I'd never heard before, but such a haunting sound as well. It lasted for about a minute, but it felt like an eternity. After that night I definitely became a believer. That being said, I am and will always be a skeptic and entertain the possibility that it was either the park or bigfoot hunters playing a recording (either man-made or authentic) to perhaps attract tourism or attract a bigfoot, depending on who was playing it. However, it sounded and felt real, and the experience has both haunted and excited me ever since. It is a night and a sound that I will never forget, and I want to know the truth behind it.

Love your approach Les. Always a huge fan of your shows, but one question. Why didnt you set up camera traps at the spot where you dropped apples?

What if the ravens just whoop now because they hear it so often from humans? And then the humans are just whooping back and forth with ravens lol

And amazing work on getting the content you have so far. God Bless

I love the Bigfoot series when I was watching these as a kid I originally thought that Les was going through a mid life crisis moment here but after looking back on it with the shows that were out at the time like Finding Bigfoot the phenomenon was really starting to escalate everywhere. This was also the first series of this to air on the science channel after he left the discovery channel I do believe.

I had very much the same experience in Washington Pa. It is quite a high pucker factor.

I found a new favorite series. So heck yea I'll watch these. Thanx!🌲👣🦧

Thanks for uploading mate! But come on! The ending is leaving me in suspense.

Man I remember watching this a lot on Tv. It’s nice to watch it again

"I'm not interested in flirting with conspiracy theories": Launches a 9 episode long series about bigfoot for the Discovery Channel

Looking for bigfoot in an ATV on a heavily used road surrounded by logging debris is like searching for it in a shopping mall.

The picture of the sasquatch with his nose covered by a leaf looks like your companion to me.

Les I'm a big fan of yours ❤period have watched your shows like my life depends on it and I appreciate that you chose this as your career..entertaining..great footage...you're brave and I shall keep watching thanks Les keep them comming❤

A few years ago, in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey near Batona campground, I was walking the sand roads in the area at night with a friend. We were actually there to film a documentary about the Jersey Devil and try to find evidence. While coming back to the camp, we heard the loudest scream, it scared us. We froze to look around and couldn't see anything. It sounded like a bobcat, at least that's what we thought. We shouted loudly to scare it. That's when we heard extremely loud crashing through the forest, like something very large was running away and breaking large trees/logs. Whatever it was moved quickly and covered several hundred yards in just about 10-15 seconds. We heard it run into the nearby swamp. While we didnt follow it at night, we went back next day and that's when we realized how far it actually went in that short amount of time. We never found any tracks. One of the creepiest moments I've ever experienced.

Yay!! So happy you have posted more big foot video!!! It’s my favorite!!! Thanks!!! 👏

Can we all agree that the "bigfoot" in that dude's "evidence" was embarrassing? Les, I love you. How you not laugh when you see that garbage video?

Thank you for sharing ,it's a really interesting subject 👍

YEs!!!! Keep these episodes coming plz there my fav LES 🤙 I will be waiting for the next 1

David Attenbourogh on the jonathan ross tv show said they exist,,good enough for me.

Of all the people that put their name in the hat of “Bigfoot”- I guess Les is definitely the one that lends the most credibility to me. Incredibly gutsy to risk putting your name on this. Then to approach it from the way he does is like one should. Makes you think….

Thank you for teaching.

Hey Less ! Love all your stuff this one made me think of something that happened to me Back in 2003 me and my wife were traveling on rural route between VT and New Hampshire. It was mid morning early afternoon when I had pulled off the road to relieve myself where some high power lines crossed the road being that there was a slight clearing where an access road to the power lines started. now just to paint a picture of the desolation of this area there was no dwellings for at least five miles or so of this spot. Anyway as I walked a few dozen feet into the woods so as to not be spotted by a possible passing car I proceeded to go about my nature’s call. when all of a sudden I heard this huge crashing sound like a tree falling A BIG TREE ! Freaked out I turn to look in the direction of this sound fearing being hit when I see that the top of the trees to the right of me are all bending and waving around about 80 feet up as if something had disturbed the tops of a bunch of them. At this I am perplexed ! but continue to finish my business as nothing seems to be falling in my direction I figure at the time that maybe a rotted branch just let go or something not making much more of it till I hear it again ! This time as I see the same sort of thing happening I notice that an object is actually hurtling through these tree tops it thumps to the ground about 12 to 15 feet near me and my blood runs cold as I see it is a fricken Boulder about the size a small beach ball I instantly start yelling HEY there’s Someone in here knock it off ! Just as I hear another big commotion coming through those tree tops again and THUMP ! another Boulder bout the same size ! At this I yell out a bluff out of being scared shitless .....HEY ASSHOLE I’M PACKING A HANDGUN ! CUT THE SHIT ! as I hastily made my way back out of the woods and to my car where my wife is saying what the hell was all that crashing noise who you yelling at ....I jump in my car and peel,out of there quickly saying some jack ass hillbilly throwing rocks at me BIG rocks ! in the heat of the moment I guess I hadn’t been completely able to mentally digest what had really happened till I calmed down and thought it over .....it was scary and just plain weird ! Who the or better yet what the hell Could throw a Boulder though the trees at 80 feet up though a hundred feet of space ? I couldn’t make rational sense of any of it I originally wanted to go with I was maybe trespassing and some backwoods freak was pissed off I was on his land but as I said I hadn’t seen a house in miles and miles not to mention the size and height these rocks were being hurled from it just didn’t fit and it bothered me for years running it through in my mind as to what exactly that was ! ........wasn’t till about 2018 when I was sick with a flu and having much couch time just watching program after program of UKposts on every and any subject I came across ufo ghost things like that that I’d always found interesting but like yourself skeptical as well however I’d. never put much stock in big foot stuff period ..That was when I saw this video about some campers who were up in the alligash in a row bout and something was growing at the from the shoreline woods and throwing huge rocks at them from a long distance away that I reflected back to my odd experience ...and I must say after looking at the area where this happened on areal google earth and realizing those power lines eventually just keep traveling through woods and mountains till the vast forests of Canada I more and more believe I may have had my own big foot experience ...I never saw a creature or heard any growling or whatever but them boulders WOW ! also the google earth areal view also confirmed there was no home for miles of this location thus destroying my theory of an angry hillbilly ...there was no internet you tube and such in 2003 so it took all these years for tech to catch up with my weird experience and story HOWEVER it still is a huge mystery and may always be but least my optimism in a possible big foot existing and that I may had a personal encounter is just a little more fortified..P.s. I again love all your vids peace !

I recall Todd stating unequivocally that if people wanted to definitely see a Sasquatch they could pay him for a camping trip and you would experience an interaction with them. Still waiting for some evidence to come forth from Todd.

Me and my friends built tree structures like that as kids deep in the forest all the time and yes you would be amazed at what kids can move and do

les we need more content like this can you do another bigfoot series keep recording you never know

I still enjoy all your older shows I have learned a lot thank you

Next time you go out there, utilize a bone flute. If our ancestors came in contact with them, maybe we should try to imitate our ancestors and retrace their steps

I really enjoyed that Les, thanks for sharing it!
