For as long as human beings have braved the mountain passes and rugged trails of the Canadian Rockies, stories have been told of a huge, elusive, man-like creature that haunts the slopes. Though scarcer and more obscure than its famous West Coast counterpart, this mysterious alpine monster has nonetheless found its way into foundational ethnological treatises on Canada’s First Nations, and into seminal works on the Sasquatch phenomenon. In this piece, we will delve into classic legends of and encounters with the wildman of the Canadian Rockies.

This is one of your best ever, Hammerson! Ironically you make your own face as rare as a Sasquatch's in your videos. I sometimes ponder what this great voice of deft expression and extensive research looks like.
Anything could be living in these vast wildernesses, but what if things are not exactly as they seem? A ‘Bigfoot’ would need to hunt, build or find shelter, eat, reproduce, etc, but one man who saw a Bigfoot only feet away from him said that the being vanished in a flash of light. Just gone. What if these things come into our world from a ‘different’ place, and can immediately go back at will to their own world? They would have no need to do all those things in our world, and it would also explain how no dead bodies have ever been found.
Anyone unaware,please see these 3 men’s channels for the best knowledge possible.

How to hunt channel.
Love this channel. Thanks hammerson. I appreciate hearing tales that come from the same place i do. We dont get alot of that in western canada. Been almost everywhere you talk about
I did a bunch of survey work around Lundbrek, one forester had a interesting story of a family of squatch playing drums
There are so many reports from the long past, and present , that these creatures must exist.
This made me so happy to see in my feed! Thankyou Hammerson
Amazing, video and amazing channel. Keep up the great work.
When a violent sasquatch attacks humans regularly historical reports show that military units can soon track and find them and neutralise them. With by capture or ending the life of the individual they have tracked.
For anyone looking to capture or get 100 percent proof for the non believing brain dead mass population, I suggest you take tips from how the military do it.
Get a squad of men together, ex military would be preferable, get funding from anyone possible or crowd fund to purchase equipment like very high end thermal imaging scopes/binoculars and night vision.
A professional tranquilliser gun with smart capability tracking darts and also high powered rifles and small arms with suppressors on all.
Also drones with thermal capability.
Have another team of men in a base of operations monitoring the team out in the field recording all video and audio coming in.
Have a helicopter on standby with a crate and lift facility and then ladies and gentlemen you will most likely capture a sasquatch.
What you do with it after that is anyone's guess but I'm guessing the gangsters in uniform aka government agents probably department of interior will be wanting to seize the said captured bounty to prevent the book of lies they live by being exposed.
Thank you for the wonderful stories and gorgeous scenery. They are always a pleasure. I live in the Colorado Rockies in the USA and never saw sasquatch but I sincerely hope it's a real creature.
10.5” footprints aren’t huge ….
Good job dude 🤙
That is some freaky deaky accent you have…..are you from Bolivia?
i knew a couple that seen one dart across a road somewhere in Alberta as they were driving
I'm from the Stoney nakoda tribe. We do have traditions and still speak our native tongue which many other tribe don't speak there language anymore. Our traditions are still strong to this day
The introduction is wrong natives did not nmhave horses in Canada till about 1880

I THANK you for your time.
Good job kid.
your work is very important for all of us.
We the people .
I love your narration and your stories, thank you!
Canadians are fortunate to have such a wonderful country. Second largest country in the world by land area and unbeknownst too many 75% of the population live within 75 MI of the US border, so the overwhelming bulk of Canadia is uninhabited, at least by normal homo sapiens… and unlike the first largest country in the world Canada actually works.
Bonjour à toutes et à tous. Même si je n'ai pas compris la totalité (je suis française) j'ai beaucoup apprécié. Les paysages sont grandioses. Les histoires aux sujets de ces rencontres restent exceptionnelles et incroyables. Merci beaucoup.
These are worse than the crap howtohunt reads.
Stick to hammering on peters, @Hammerson Peters.
I like this form of celebrating Canadian history/cultures. It's not about what American things Canada is not and how the US compares to Canada, it's about what is unique to Canada and its cultures.
Another grand slam by Hammerson. Merci beaucoup!
It's too bad you didnt get a shot of the ridge above the North Saskatchewan at Bighorn Dam, you were right there. I've camped in that area many times. Never had a sighting, but many many strange experiences. Pretty sure I found a structure out there too.
Great video, and very informative. Thank you for your continuing hard work!
Fun stories, but there's NO big foot.
That was terrifying thank you very enjoyable
i own land in fremont county colorado. i know where a family of them live. one of them was 3 feet away from me my son and another. i was about belly button height. scarey as F
Sir, the first-hand report would have sufficed far better than the second or third-hand report. It is like you telling a forked tail. I am a believer o Big foot due to my personal experience as well as the skunk ape, your tail without first hands telling their personal experience, I am not convinced
The story you told of the man who turned to cannibalism is more inline with Wendigo tales than Sasquatch.
As usual, great program. I needed this distraction today.
What Proof Does Anyone Have That They're A Dangerous Creature?
I live in Edmonton Alberta and I have seen one in the city river valley where it was standing and looking at the high rise apartments in total awe its eyes were wide open and its mouth was wide open i was so close to it that if I were to whisper it would have heard me. I was so scared I took off up the hill I didn't care if it heard me or not.
Kooteney area goes all the way down to the bitterroot valley way past Kalispell lol fact check
"alarmingly proximal" had me laughing for a full minute.
Bro, at first glance, you looked just like Waylon Jennings.
I had to subscribe just for that.
I'm glad I did, and I hope that you upload videos of you playing the fiddle.
Notice how drugs play a big part in these sightings, California and Washington, big drug problem states that have the most sightings. Now Canadian chugs, high on something, hallucinating, seeing things that aren’t there.there is no such thing as Sasquatch. I grew up in northern BC, hunting,trapping, hiking, there is nothing out there, nothing.
