Hi Guys!
I go solo car camping , cook a delicious Salmon dinner over the campfire and tell a truly scary / frightening campfire story over a roaring campfire in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The story takes place in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of northern Minnesota where 4 men had a series of strange encounters that forced them to cut their trip short.
Keep Hiking!

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW or BWCA) is a 1,090,000-acre (4,400 km2) wilderness area within the Superior National Forest in northeastern part of the US state of Minnesota under the administration of the U.S. Forest Service. A mixture of forests, glacial lakes, and streams, the BWCAW's preservation as a primitive wilderness began in the 1900s and culminated in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness Act of 1978. It is a popular destination for canoeing, hiking, and fishing, and is one of the most visited wildernesses in the United States

Spent 2 weeks in the BWCA in the summer of '76 on a college-credit "expedition" involving high schoolers from all over the country. A fabulous, unforgettable trip of a lifetime, canoeing and camping and conducting biological studies of the ecosystems we encountered. I still have hundreds of fondly-remembered moments to call upon. A thousand thanks to the Univ. of IA for hosting it.

I love to hear your stories especially at night time before bed and relax. where I live we have pine trees and can hear the owls hoot up in the trees and there's open land and some brush so some deer and coyotes are around. You have a very unique and refreshing style to your storytelling, that definitely keeps our interest from beginning to end. Keep the good stories coming🌲🦉

Love to sit and listen to stories! My Grandmother was a storyteller and passed it on to me. My son's, nieces and nephews would sit around our camping fire and say "Please tell us a scary story!" They would be all spread out in a circle when I started, by the end of the story there were 5 kids puled onto my triple fold beach chair and my 2 man tent turned into a 6 person tent!!🤣 I so enjoyed those special times with them. That are grown with kids of their own. Still get together at Halloween for hotdogs, marshmallows and scary stories with a new generation! Keep 'em coming!! I so enjoy!!! Thanks for sharing!

Your campfire story gave me the chills! What a scary experience for those 4 guys. And they got a picture of that giant footprint to prove it! I camp in Wisconsin in a camper & sometimes tent, because I enjoy tent camping too. I once heard some really scary sounds when tent camping, at about 2:00 am. Never heard anything like it before or since. It was definitely an animal. There was screaming, then throaty noises, then growling, right outside my tent. I could hear it breathing. This went on for 45 minutes. I just kept very still in my tent. I looked online for answers and the closest possible answer was raccoon fighting. It said they could make over 100 different sounds. Remains a mystery. The salmon hobo dinner looked great. Enjoyed the video.

Hello from Forest Lake Minnesota. There's a number of Bigfoot stories to come out of the B.W.C.A. and the northern region of the state. I've never seen a Bigfoot but I've heard some things I can't explain including a vocalization in my woods that sounded similar to Ron Moorehead's Sierra Sounds Bigfoot recordings. Whatever it was you wouldn't want to meet it alone, in the dark, and unarmed. It was the nastiest, most vicious, guttural, insane, sounding voice I've ever heard, not to mention the heavy thudding footsteps that went along with the vocals. This happened in the Fall of 13. It went on for a half an hour around 1:00 AM. I've lived here all my life and I'm middle aged.

@@basecampchris There's been sightings of things that fit the stereotypical appearance of a werewolf but for obvious reasons aren't sure what they saw, if there wasn't many i'd doubt them but after hours and hours worth of testimonies with slight differences in the appearance & behavior of whatever they saw. I'd even say if in fact these people saw of all things werewolves then what else has the national forestry & U.S. government/military hidden from us, now on the off chance these people are 100% correct on what they encountered we have to realize why there'd be an incentive to hide the existence of reallly more than werewolves. I've even been told the military has engaged in bioengineering weapons using the dna of multiple animals and mixing them with werewolves which makes sense as some witnesses reported the creature they encountered having the features of hyenas, wolves, brown bears and even torso's that resemble a gorillas torso. Some weird stuff for sure but i haven't seen any myself and on the off chance the thousands of stories aren't made up or are nothing than the imaginations of people drugged up or drunk i'd rather not find out. i'll put this way if we assume all accounts are 100% true and accurate than how many more haven't we heard because those encounters turned deadly? I've heard rumors the military for whatever reasons released over 50 subjects into the wilderness in the northeastern united states and it should be noted that sightings during that time which was during thee 1970's increased drastically and have spiked usually during summer and fall seasons globally. point is be careful and stay away from the northwestern portion of yellowstone man i've heard a lot of bad things that have been buried as the public knowing would destroy that parks funding, murders, missing persons, alien sightings (yes seriously), werewolf sightings (aka Dogman) and other paranormal anomalies that i personally haven't experienced but even park rangers have reported these things so i don't know what to believe.

I'm from NC and live now in Oregon, but the foil dinner we called them Hobo Pies. We used to take hamburger patties and french fries on top of the hamburger and green beans with some butter wrap in tin foil and put over camp fire. You got the whole meal and would add some can gravy. No fuss meal and you have time to chill out and camo. I'm now in PNW also live salmon, it allot cheaper than east coast. Enjoy your stories. 🔥⛺

-> This video popped up, & I had to watch it right away, because I had a scary experience in MN, even though I live in So. Cal. I might've already posted a comment about it, but Not in detail.. I was chosen to go on a Church Summer Camp canoe camping trip from near Orr, MN, on up to Canada to the outpost there, back in '76.. First night on an island.. Something circled my tent, & I was awake, but my buddy wasn't (we were on a "buddy system" for safety).. She was fair & had gotten sunburned & fallen asleep.. The counselor was with the other gals telling stories.. Something Large started making Noise by our tent, breaking branches deliberately, & since my teacher & Army Dad had Already told us children about Bigfoot, I figured that's what it was!! Finally, the group was breaking up, everyone to their individual tents, & I yelled for the counselor to shine his huge light all around. He did, but didn't see anything.. Later, some gals came charging back, from the makeshift privy, to the tents, having been scared by something large shaking a tree!! One gal had been yelling, "Wait for me!!" since she got left behind a bit, that's how scared they were!! The rest of the night went without a hitch, Praise God, but, when we left the next morning, I was heartily glad to push off away from that island!! The next night we stayed on an isthmus, & I didn't have any qualms about it. The rest of the canoe trip was great!! Back at the Dorms, one night, my best friend & I stayed behind while everyone else went to a shindig of some sort, her not feeling well.. As we goofed off making faces in front of a mirror in the Dorm center, we both heard a huge, loud growl!! I quickly told her to take one Dorm wing while I took the other, & make sure all the windows were locked!! Then we waited in the center until everyone came back later.. & That's my MN experience!! There's others, not as intense, but, they're in CA.. So, that's why I love the MN accounts Uploads!! 👏🏼 Thank you, Chris!! Be Well, Safe, Joyful, Thankful, & Blessed, ALL!! 😻🖖🏼📖🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🏼🕊️👼🏻🌃🌌🌟

I guess you get used to it. You learn to trust your instincts and keep your ears open. People nowadays have the music blasting, talking loud, drink and get rowdy. Might as well stay in town if you're gonna act like that. We listened to the wind in the trees, crickets, whip-or-wills singing at night, spoke softly because loud was unnecessary, and didn't let our fires get to big. Sometimes no one said a thing. Trust me, if you do it right, you'll know when something is moving around. I always have a blue heeler with me. I can look at her and tell all kinds of things before she's made a sound. Like if someone has turned down the mile long road at my house, there's only 2 farms down here. I've got her trained to give me silent indications unless it's an emergency. Like the night I took some quilts out to the middle of the pasture on a hill, to watch a meteor shower and fell asleep. No one for miles. She whined and dragged her front claws across my arm. I sat up and we were surrounded by coyotes. I'm a tall woman and just stood up and made myself large and growled loudly like a bear. I had a sidearm but I knew these coyotes were only there because my dog was in season. Plus they were nice and fat after eating all my ducks. Lol. I'm more nervous alone in a house than outside sometimes. No guesswork on finding you then. 😊 just kiddin

I like to do some of the things Chris does to keep things simple. Bring dry stuff in you pack. Preparing food is cumbersome and everything in two parishes can smell your food - unless it's about the food. God knows we love our shrimp and crayfish boils. But then you'd have more people. I took my horse up and did a trail ride with some friends in Tennessee. Around Jackson, at Natchez Trace. Not too mountainous. They had cockpots, cast iron cooking with tripods, etc... bathrooms and rv hookups but it was still scary to me. Guess because I'm not used to steep hills. Just depends where you are and what you're used to. Oklahoma or the Texas panhandle would be perfect if not for the tornadoes. You can see things around you for miles and miles.

I went on a 5-day canoe trip in the Boundary Waters and it was badass! We did a lot of portaging, best wilderness experience I've ever had. Last day we left from Gabbro Lake and did a 300+ rod portage through all sorts of mean terrain. I highly recommend going there if you get the chance. I, of course, was packing heat, a 1000 lumen weapon light, and 31 rounds of 115 gr +P's because I fully understand that I am not the most dangerous thing out there!

That footprint does not look like a hoax. Besides, they were alone in a very difficult place to reach. I don't think someone could pull off a prank that deep in the preserve. Too much gear, too much time, and too much money needed. This is one of the first BigFoot prints that I believe are real. Great story! Thank you!

Well here I am again! This Video popped up again, like other older ones do n I'm rewatching it like I always rewatch your other ones. THEY ARE THAT GOOD !!! I end up binge watching your Videos practically every day. My obsession,lol. You are the best story teller. I have a deep down passion for camping, but being an older lady with no one to go camping with, I never get to go. Your videos satisfy the need to be outside camping quite well. Almost as good as actually being there having all the fun that you get to. So exciting n thrilling to be out near the woods sitting by a nice warm fire n cooking up some great camp style food n enjoying the peace n quiet n the sheer beauty of Nature all around you for miles. Thanks for everything you do for us. Be safe n keep on hiking n camping !!!

Super cool story Chris ! Being raised in Wisconsin we had some pretty remote forests but nothing like Minnesota. My brother lived in Bemidji Minnesota and we would go for long hikes , beautiful but scary too, everything is so remote. We did a lot of fishing which was great ! Also did some fishing in Cass Lake. I love the Midwest but prefer northern CA winters so much nicer❄️if I want to see snow I go to Tahoe ❄️❄️❄️❄️love that lantern! Going to get one! Your Best God Bless !

I have a feeling that these situations are more common than most realize. It's just that no one wants to talk about it in fear of sounding crazy. Love the stories and soundtrack. Be safe out there.

There are a lot of stories like this that happened in Minnesota. There is so much Wilderness and water and Marsh areas, that there is no lack of Things That Go Bump in the night. Your recipe that you cooked in foil, is a delicious and great way to prepare a meal all-in-one meat package. Delicious! We call those hobos.

As on as you said the knocking kept getting farther away from them I knew exactly what was happening. I remember hearing stories about these things mimicking a child’s crying or a woman calling for help and it was the same thing, the voice would move farther and farther into the forest in an effort to draw the person away from camp and other people. Scary stuff because you know they are hunting you at that point.
