  • As per popular request - I put together another directors commentary for you but this time from the series Survivorman Bigfoot. The experience in Klemtu certainly changed my perspective in a big way and brought to life certain aspects of the phenomenon I was still learning about.
    Directed By Les Stroud
    Starring Les Stroud, John Bindernagle, the people of Klemtu BC

    "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.

      That's really The crux of everything experience until somebody truly has an experience they really don't know what it truly means to believe That's how it is with my faith and it's the same with the people who have had these experiences no amount of skepticism Will convince them otherwise 🙂

      @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.

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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

I to believe that it has to be more human than ape. It's footprints look more human than apes. Apes have hand-like feet, and humans don't. Keep up the great work.

    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

I took the safety off on my gun and slowly walked out of there, continously looking behind myself. That area at the end of the road was very wooded and I couldn't see much into it. This area was the Stono River delta swamp of South Carolina. I remembered this when you mentioned looking behind yourself as you are leaving an area.

    Growing up in the mojave desert just an hour from big bear california we would hear stories of bigfoots in that area. We were also told stories of the yucca man. They say its the desert version of bigfoot. Has anyone else ever heard of the yucca man or is it just a local story?

    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 remember walkin to the top of our mountain back home at night when I was young. I wouldn't tell my mum where I was goin so she wouldn't worry. I'd watch the moon rise and head down to my bike that I stashed in the bush, then ride home an hour bike ride. So many times I forced myself out there in the bush alone. I call finding people like you, is what it means to find a kindred spirit. take care. If yer ever out around kehiwen alberta you will have a bed and a good meal with a buncha nehiyos.

    I've found their tracks around 1:30am while hiking thru the forest on the worm flows route while climbing Mt St Helens. About one hour later. We saw one in the bright moonlight on the next ridge to the west. We were trying to reach the summit to watch the sun rise. No matter what others say. I know for a FACT that they are real.
    For some reason. I am not fearful of them in the Mt St Helens and Mt Adams WA. Region. I feel a more of a calming peacefulness about them in that region. I had a close and very loud tree knock that vibrated through my pack and thru my body. It seemed like it was writhin maybe 50' behind me. When I turned to look through the burned out forest on trail #183.
    There was nothing in sight. Just the burned out tree trunks. I do feel like they may be interdimensional or able to make themselves invisible to our eyes. I tried to recreate the tree knock. I could not for the life of me even come close to replicating the loud knock.
    It was located near where I had left an offering of apples & bananas while ascending the trail earlier.
    As I turned to face the direction of the knock. Thank You came to my mind. So I'm convinced that they may very well be telepathic as well.
    While on each and every visit to this region. I could hear their howls etc. Some within a mile or so. And some very distant. I don't and won't go out to look for them.
    But I'm always hopeful to see one again. I try to make yearly trips out there. I'm from Wisconsin.
    This is only the tip of the iceberg with what I had encountered while on these two mountains.
    Anyways, I truly hope that you'll be able to unlock the truth behind these beings. I refer to them as forest people.
    Good luck with your endeavour Les,... God Bless,.... Ken,...

      @Brisdad53 we saw the prints with our own eyes. And later saw the one on the ridge line. My shoe size is 12. It's 13" in length. The print was roughly 4" longer than mine. And we're about 8" wide at its widest. Inside each of the prints had a humpnof snow in each print. It was as if it were hinged. I paced tgecstrides off. From the toe of one print. To the heel of the next print was 7 if my shoe lengths. That's almost 8' strides. If you are familiar with the work flows route. The prints were approx 500' down hill from chocolate falls where also the loowitvtrail crossed. About an hour after taking a Break on a ridge. We turned out our headlamps. A few minutes later after our eyes adjusted. Is when my nephew had gotten my attention and pointed out the being over on the next ridge a few hundred feet away. I swear to God that we had encountered all of this. I've been scoffed and laughed at by so many over this.
      None the less. I know for a fact that they are real. And I'm ok with that. Up until that encounter. I was a skeptic but kept an open mind about it. From that moment forward,... I'm a very firm believer , Actually knower of them.
      I'm going to keep sharing my story of my/our experience.
      Knowing what I now know, I truly hope that the truth will finally come out with evidence about them. I'm against them being hunted / killed for proof.
      I truly hope that Les will be fortunate enough to prove it as fact with them being real.
      I can't blame those who don't believe me. As I was once in their shoes,... June 14th 2017 changed all of that for me.
      Also, With all due respect, FYI, Ape Canyon does exist. It was spared from the destructive forces unlike the north face. It Did receive some damage from the eruption. But not much. I've seen before and after photos of Ape Canyon
      One thing that I do for each mountain/region that I hike and climb on.
      I will do very extensive studying of maps, charts , satellite imagery. And ground views that were produced of those regions.
      Someone had done a full camera ground view of the trail from Climbers Bivouac to the summit.
      God willing, I will be back out there to do another solo hike and climb in 2021 in May/June.

      One more thing about the prints. They were more of a squared off sort of row of toe prints. Meaning from the big toe down to the pinky toe. They were more squared off type of print. Vs the cast print that Les shared.

      @@ExploringAmerica (posted 10/11/22) First off, brisdad53 was hacked and compromised, and has gone off to YouPuke heaven. Second, whereas I don't remember exactly what I wrote, it sounds like I may have been questioning the very existence of a "Bigfoot", which was not my intention. I was likely questioning you claiming that you have "factual" proof of their existence. I personally "believe" there may be something there, but I have ZERO proof or evidence, and am basing it on empirical or circumstantial evidence, or trusting the observations of people like Les Stroud. I appreciate your detailed explanation, especially regarding the existence of Ape Canyon... I had been told that "geologically speaking", it ceased to exist as anything more than a footnote on old geographical maps. It's late, I'm tired, but I would love to hear the results of any further hikes you may do.

If you ever hear "waashiewoowoo" in the forest but can't quite tell where or what it is, have a mirror or camera handy recording behind you. A bigfoot may be messing with you. Keep up the good work, I've been a fan since the first season of survivorman 🤘🙂

    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.
