Fred from Alaska shares a chilling collection of Alaskan Sasquatch encounters that stretch across decades of tundra silence and deep wilderness unease. In this episode, the host returns to Vincent Wesley's 2011 moose-hunting trip, when what should have been a routine outing took a terrifying turn after Vincent crossed paths with what locals call the “hairy man.” After new conversations with Vincent's sister Grace and villagers from the surrounding region, the story widens into something far more unsettling, as fresh details surface about strange vocalizations, unexplained movement in the brush, and a long pattern of sightings that locals have kept quiet for years.As the episode unfolds, listeners hear additional accounts from villagers who describe the same kind of presence moving through their homeland. A group of women and children recount a 2021 encounter with an immense, unfamiliar figure that appeared briefly but left a lasting psychological mark, reinforcing the sense that these beings are not legends in Alaska, but a reality quietly woven into daily life.He also shares a haunting story from the 1970s, told by Lorraine, a volcanologist working in remote Alaskan terrain who experienced something eerie and intelligent watching her from the edge of isolation—an encounter that still rattles her decades later. Another disturbing account comes from Corey and Bob, who describe a tense run-in near Snake River with a mysterious figure that seemed to track them with deliberate intent, leaving them convinced they were being studied, not hunted.Out there in the tundra, in the places where the land feels endless and human voices fade, something else may be living alongside us—watching, moving, and occasionally stepping into view just long enough to remind people they are not alone.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In this powerful and haunting episode, we share the life-changing testimony of Mary, a ninety-two-year-old Yup'ik woman who survived one of the most frightening Sasquatch encounters ever recorded. This isn't a tale of footprints or shadows in the trees—this is the story of what happened when an Alaskan village along the Copper River faced something ancient, intelligent, and deadly during the summer of 1962. Mary was only eight when her peaceful village became a hunting ground.What began with one trapper disappearing quickly turned into a terrifying ordeal that claimed several lives, including two of Mary's closest childhood friends. Through her memories, we experience the fear that grew as massive footprints appeared around homes, red eyes watched from the twilight, and the villagers realized this was no bear.Her account connects deeply to Yup'ik traditions and the old stories of the kushta'ka—the hairymen who walked the land long before outsiders arrived.Mary's grandmother recognized the danger immediately, explaining that sometimes one of these beings “goes bad,” much like a rabid wolf, and develops a deadly hunger for humans. As children vanished and attacks intensified, twelve villages came together in a desperate attempt to fight back. Forty-three hunters formed a war party armed with everything from WWII rifles to a centuries-old Russian bear spear blessed by a shaman. Their battle in the deep forest was brutal, courageous, and left lasting scars on everyone involved.But Mary's story goes far beyond violence. Sixty years later, she revealed a secret second encounter—this time with a female Sasquatch who returned something precious to Mary. Whether it was grief, remorse, or understanding, the moment changed how Mary saw these beings forever. Throughout her life, Mary witnessed other encounters that suggested a fragile, uneasy coexistence.The female that fought so fiercely was defending her mate, just as the villagers were defending their families. As Mary reached ninety-three, she shared her final thoughts about the visits she believed she still received from the surviving creature—now old, quiet, and watchful. She spoke of dreams where she saw the story through the creature's eyes and understood that what happened wasn't evil—it was two worlds colliding in a place both called home.Her final message is a warning: as the wilderness shrinks, the fragile peace between humans and these ancient beings may not hold. She shares this story not to encourage people to seek Sasquatch, but to remind us of the respect and boundaries forged at such a terrible cost.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Yesterday I had the privilege of attending the Assistive Technology Conference of New England, put on by TechACCESS of Rhode Island. It was a great event that brought together professionals and companies that are trying to improve accessibility through technology for those with ranges of physical and intellectual challenges. Walking around, looking at the exhibits, and talking with people, I was continuously impressed by the innovation and dedication around me. I would say it was “inspiring” but not in the way that one might usually think. The word “inspiring” can have a negative connotation in this world because it puts people with such challenges on a pedestal, as if their job is to be inspiring, or all they are is their disability, or makes people with these challenges a spectacle. Having a child who is intellectually and developmentally disabled, I totally get that argument.When I say “inspiring”, I am referring to the people who are working and creating products in this space. It is inspiring for me to see professionals dedicate their work to improve and enhance the lives of others, no matter who that population is. That is very cool, and inspirational. No matter what job we are doing, we should be thinking of ways that we can improve the lives and experiences of others. That is what experience design and this podcast is all about: showcasing the work of those who are trying to apply their time, knowledge, and creativity to improving experiences and lives in ways large and small.One of the things I need to do more of is highlight people who are working in the world of accessible technology. So stay tuned for that!And my guest today on Experience by Design is doing the work to improve people's lives as well in his own way. Like many guests on ExD, Chad Hufford of Veritas Wealth Management in Anchorage, Alaska is a behavioral scientist at heart, fascinated with what makes people act the way they do and what can be done to get them to make changes. He has applied this interest in the work he does as a financial planner. He does this up in Alaska, focusing his efforts on those who are working in those uniquely blue-collar Alaskan jobs where high risk can come with good pay. His goal is to help them make the best decisions possible with what they earn, but also help to create cultural and behavioral change in his clients. Part of this is to get people to not just think, but to act. His new book “Forging Financial Freedom: Constructing Blue-Collar Millionaires with Seven Wealth Building Lessons Extracted from the Alaska Oilfield”, lays out his experiences and lessons from doing this work. We talk about Chad's fascination with fitness, and how that led him to be interested in medical school. Biochemistry taught him a lot about problem solving and complex interactions within systems. The same can be said for the financial world, where a lot is beyond your control. Despite that, you can control how you act and what your vision of your future is. We also talk about unique aspects of Alaskan culture, overcoming complexity in financial decision making, how to build trust in financial planning, and making for better financial literacy and experiences. He emphasizes the importance of emotional connection and empathy in financial advising, and why friction is required to allow for thoughtful consideration. We explore how AI and technology can reduce friction in financial transactions but should not replace human empathy. Chad Hufford: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-hufford-066208100/Forging Financial Freedom: https://www.forgingfinancialfreedom.com/singleVeritas Wealth Management: https://www.veritasalaska.com/

Host Seth Swerczek and Preston Lentfer sit down with special guest Mike "Whitey" Jensen to relive his unforgettable Alaskan adventure—taking a grizzly bear with not one, but two of his custom handguns. From handgun setup to the raw, wild moments in the field, this story is one that won't soon be forgotten.

In 1992, a seismic scan triggered by a Chinese nuclear test allegedly revealed a massive pyramid hidden beneath the Alaskan wilderness, larger than Giza's Great Pyramid. What followed were vanished news reports, military denials, whistle blowers, and claims of a forbidden underground structure the government refuses to acknowledge.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITESources:https://www.ghosttheory.com/2012/07/31/the-lost-pyramid-of-alaskahttps://theilluminerdy.com/dark-pyramids-under-alaska/https://www.strangeoutdoors.com/mysterious-world/2021/11/23/the-alaska-trianglehttps://medium.com/the-mystery-box/beyond-the-black-pyramid-d101025b6b3ahttps://www.earthfiles.com/2012/07/26/part-1-mysterious-underground-pyramid-structure-near-mount-mckinley/https://www.gi.alaska.edu/news/it-lurks-beneath-barrowhttps://www.iflscience.com/inside-the-alaska-triangle-29843Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/;;;SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Leslie welcomes back Scott Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, for a preview of the newly released 2025 'Made in America Holiday Gift Guide.' (link: https://www.americanmanufacturing.org/blog/the-2025-made-in-america-holiday-gift-guide/)   This year's guide makes it easier than ever for shoppers to find U.S.-made products and support American workers this holiday season. New polling released with the Gift Guide shows overwhelming demand for locally made goods, with 81% of Americans saying they're as likely or more likely to buy American-made products this year. The vast majority (83%) of shoppers say they would buy more Made in USA goods if these products were more widely available. The Gift Guide bridges that gap, connecting consumers with the craftsmanship, quality and well-paid jobs that come from buying Made in America. In its 12th year, the 2025 Guide features 148 manufacturers and makers from across all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. There's an American-made gift for everyone, with finds ranging from model airplane kits and stocking stuffers to jewelry and grills. Shoppers can browse the guide by state or product category, and a new segment this year highlights brick-and-mortar stores specializing in state-made goods for in-person shopping. Additionally, AAM's Made in America Directory spotlights 873 companies and their products that are not featured in this year's Guide. Leslie and Scott highlight five of the companies and their gift offerings for just a taste of the guide.  Here they are: 1 - WicR Have you always wanted to be a plant parent but were too scared you'd forget to water them every day? Fear no more: WicR is a self-watering product that makes it a lot easier. All you have to do is place the WicR at the bottom of your pot, cover it with soil, and place your plant in. Then, after an initial watering, the WicR will self-water your plant for seven to ten days. A game-changer for plant care! 2 -  Alaska Glacial Essentials Skincare Alaska Glacial Essentials Skincare draws from its surrounding beauty in Cordova, Alaska, to enhance the quality of the products they make there. This company sources glacial minerals and botanicals for gentle but effective formulas, and all its products are vegan and cruelty-free. Its energy-efficient facility operates on 60-80% community hydropower, and the Certified B Corps company prides itself on a commitment to sustainability. Alaska Glacial Essentials Skincare donates 2% of its revenues to organizations that protect the Alaskan environment, such as the Copper River Watershed Project.  3 - Made-Plus Footwear The vast majority of footwear today is imported. But Alan Guyan, an alum of Under Armour's shoe division, saw an opportunity to do things differently. That's why he started Made+, a luxury athletic shoe brand based in Annapolis. All the shoes are made with 100% recycled yarn — and that yarn is made from repurposed plastic water bottles. These shoes come in all sorts of designs; they even sell shoes specially designed for pickleball. If you're looking to replace those athletic shoes, Made+ is an incredible choice. (And check out their in-person storefront if you're near Annapolis!) Lastly, be sure to check out AAM's blog post featuring Made+ from last month, where you can find on their website at AmericanManufacturing.org/blog 4 - High Strung Studios For the music lover on your list, High Strung Studios hits all the right notes. This woman-owned business transforms real guitar strings into beautiful, handcrafted jewelry made right here in the USA. Each bracelet, necklace, and pair of earrings carries a touch of rhythm and a whole lot of heart, making them perfect for anyone who finds joy in a good song. Thoughtful, unique, and full of holiday cheer, these gifts truly strike a chord. 5 - Cycle Dog Bring some wag-worthy joy to the holidays with Cycle Dog, a woman-owned company in Portland, making eco-friendly gear for dogs who love to play. Every collar, leash, toy and bed is crafted in the USA using recycled materials, keeping millions of inner tubes and bottles out of landfills. Durable, sustainable and made by a team of passionate makers (and their pups), these gifts are perfect for anyone who wants to spoil their dog, spread a little holiday cheer, and do good for the planet all at once. Lastly, Leslie and Scott talk about Project MFG. What's Project MFG?  Think Top Chef — but for welders, machinists and engineers. Ray Dick, founder of Project MFG and creator of the YouTube reality show 'Clash of Trades,' is inspiring the next generation of manufacturers through hands-on competition and community engagement. AAM's website is AmericanManufacturing.org and their YouTube channel is youtube.com/@AmericanMfg (where you can watch episode's of AAM's podcast, "The Manufacturing Report") If you want to listen to episodes of "The Manufacturing Report," visit AmericanManufacturing.org/Podcast.

John sits down with Cole and Lynn as they tell their changed lives stories of how they came to Christ, how they met one another, and about the life they are building now. They share a powerful lesson on 'recreational companionship' and how that has resulted in epic Alaskan trips, chasing moose and grizzly bears, and how they've seen God bless them as a result.To learn more about the Tabernacle visit us online at: https://thetabchurch.com

A town in Alaska won't see the sun again until January 23. When it finally rises, they celebrate. It reminded me of Isaiah 9:2 — the Light always returns, and with it, joy.

The culinary expedition wraps up its American journey as hosts Marcos and Josue venture into the diverse and delectable Pacific Coast and Western time zones, exploring unique Thanksgiving traditions stretching from the cool Pacific Northwest all the way down to sunny California and out to exotic Hawaii.

This conversation celebrates the ultimate food fusion, proving that the Thanksgiving table is a true reflection of American diversity, and concludes with a look ahead to the next episode's journey to the East Coast heritage. #westcoastfood #thanksgivingfeast #regionalrecipesGot a Thanksgiving recipe or a meal so good it deserves a holiday?

In this powerful and haunting episode, we share the life-changing testimony of Mary, a ninety-two-year-old Yup'ik woman who survived one of the most frightening Sasquatch encounters ever recorded. This isn't a tale of footprints or shadows in the trees—this is the story of what happened when an Alaskan village along the Copper River faced something ancient, intelligent, and deadly during the summer of 1962.Mary was only eight when her peaceful village became a hunting ground.What began with one trapper disappearing quickly turned into a terrifying ordeal that claimed several lives, including two of Mary's closest childhood friends.

Sixty years later, she revealed a secret second encounter—this time with a female Sasquatch who returned something precious to Mary. Whether it was grief, remorse, or understanding, the moment changed how Mary saw these beings forever. Throughout her life, Mary witnessed other encounters that suggested a fragile, uneasy coexistence.Children returned unharmed, travelers rescued from storms, strange shelters appearing when needed, and tracks that came and went without harm. It painted a picture of two species living side by side, connected by an ancient boundary neither fully understood. Mary never called this a victory. She saw it as a tragedy where both sides lost something irreplaceable. The creature that attacked may have been sick—poisoned near a mining camp and driven mad. The female that fought so fiercely was defending her mate, just as the villagers were defending their families. As Mary reached ninety-three, she shared her final thoughts about the visits she believed she still received from the surviving creature—now old, quiet, and watchful. She spoke of dreams where she saw the story through the creature's eyes and understood that what happened wasn't evil—it was two worlds colliding in a place both called home.Her final message is a warning: as the wilderness shrinks, the fragile peace between humans and these ancient beings may not hold. She shares this story not to encourage people to seek Sasquatch, but to remind us of the respect and boundaries forged at such a terrible cost.

Join us for an intriguing discussion with Doug Fifer, a former Alaskan police officer and expert negotiator, as we explore the complexities of Alaska's unique environment and its impact on crime. With breathtaking landscapes that mask a darker reality, Doug shares his insights into the high rates of domestic violence and serial killings that plague the state. Discover how isolation, harsh weather, and substance abuse contribute to these issues and learn about the peculiar gender ratio in Alaska and its implications for relationships. Doug also recounts his journey from growing up in the small town of Homer to a 25-year career with the Anchorage Police Department.Listen in as Doug, a seasoned law enforcement officer, shares his invaluable experience in negotiating with difficult individuals. Negotiation skills, Doug explains, are essential not only in law enforcement but also in everyday life, such as mediating custody battles. He reveals key strategies like building rapport and identifying common interests, while emphasizing the importance of honesty to maintain trust and safety in high-stakes scenarios. This conversation sheds light on the mental and physical demands of hostage negotiations, highlighting techniques that can be universally applied to daily interactions.Our conversation takes a closer look at managing emotions during domestic violence cases, particularly in Alaska, where such incidents are prevalent. Doug discusses the challenges officers face and strategies for victims to protect themselves, including the potential role of AI in verifying evidence. He emphasizes the importance of de-escalating situations to prevent further violence and shares a humorous story from his time as a hostage negotiator. As we wrap up, Doug talks about the significance of trusting your instincts for personal safety, particularly in dangerous situations, and introduces his book "Fifty Shades of True Crime," which offers an engaging look into criminal cases from his perspective as a law enforcement officer.

Deep in the shadowed heart of Alaska's Copper River Valley, the wilderness holds more than silence—it remembers. In this chilling episode of Sasquatch Odyssey, the haunting folklore of Alaska comes alive through vivid accounts passed down by those who've lived closest to its mysteries.From the whispered warnings of elders to the trembling voices of witnesses, Killers in the Valley explores the eerie boundary between legend and lived experience. We journey through tales of monstrous “killer monkeys” stalking the riverbanks, and the Harrimen—dark, elusive figures said to roam the fog-laden forests where few dare to tread.But the most unnerving of all are the shape-shifters: sea otters that rise from the depths, transforming into towering, humanlike beings cloaked in shadow and dripping river water.Agatha, whose quiet day of berry picking turned into a nightmare of strange sounds and unseen watchers; of Ms. Carroll, whose property became a beacon for ghostly lights and inexplicable disturbances; and of William Williams, who faced a creature so horrifying it blurred the line between man, beast, and spirit.Each account carries the pulse of Alaska's untamed wilds—a reminder that isolation, fear, and ancient belief intertwine in the frozen frontier. These stories are more than folklore; they are fragments of memory, fear, and reverence for a land that is beautiful, merciless, and deeply haunted.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Brad and Abbey Zerbo are back for a cozy, thought-provoking Brad & Abbey Live, blending life on their rugged Alaska property with lessons in freedom and self-reliance. Between stories of rain-soaked shed building, power-tool adventures, and karaoke FOMO from GART, the couple dives deep into capitalism, competence, and what it truly means to live free. They share insights from Jordan Peterson on hierarchies of skill, play a Hillsdale College lecture on the moral foundations of capitalism, and connect it all to daily life, from private property to resisting government overreach. The conversation flows into education, socialism's cultural creep, climate change as a globalist control tool, and how capitalism remains the only system that lets people flourish through honest work. Lighthearted banter meets serious truth bombs as the Zerbros mix humor, faith, and philosophy with tales from their Alaskan homestead.

Alaska cruising is unlike any other cruise experience—and the shore excursions truly make the trip. In this exciting episode, travel advisors Ryan and Julie guide you through their favorite excursions at Alaska's most popular ports, sharing the experiences that will create lifetime memories.Start in Juneau with the ultimate triple-threat: whale watching, visiting the stunning Mendenhall Glacier, and enjoying wild Alaskan salmon grilled over a wood fire—all in one incredible day.

Today we examine the unusual phenomena associated with the Alaska Triangle, a remote region known for a disproportionately high number of unsolved disappearances and paranormal sightings. The NaturalNews.com article focuses on the staggering count of over 20,000 missing persons in the past 50 years, connecting the area to UFO sightings and alleged cryptid creatures like Bigfoot and the Wendigo, while also mentioning theories involving military testing and magnetic anomalies. The HISTORY video transcript echoes these facts, noting that over 16,000 people have vanished since 1988 and discussing both the challenging Alaskan terrain and supernatural explanations, such as local monster folklore like the Montiak and theories about geological anomalies creating inter-dimensional portals. Ultimately, both sources suggest that while the environment is rugged, the sheer scale of the disappearances leads many to believe something extraordinary or mysterious is occurring. Join us as we discuss The Alaska Triangle, 20,000 Vanished!

On July 22nd 2010, Dave Akers and Gary Nall decided to take a sight seeing trip in Gary's small plane. What should have been a short flight before sunset turned into a fight for their lives after the plane got caught in a powerful down draft that caused them to crash almost 4,000 feet up a remote mountain side in the Alaskan wilderness. Despite their injuries, the men quickly discovered their only option was to attempt to hike off the mountain.

Steve Shannon is a former teacher turned strength coach in Fairbanks. In this episode we discuss why everyone should be an athlete with the goal of improving their quality of their lives, not just pursuing athletic achievements. He gives practical advice on training youth athletes, fueling performance with protein and sleep, and using simple habits—like "exercise snacks," and rucking to stay fit for hunting and life.

In this chilling episode, Fred Alaska shares a series of unsettling experiences passed down from his First Nations friend, David, whose family cabin near Bristol Bay, Alaska became the site of strange and unexplainable events throughout the 1990s. Late-night disturbances in the snow, mysterious animal tracks that began and ended abruptly, and the haunting sensation of being watched deep in the Alaskan wilderness—all point toward something far beyond the ordinary.But David's encounters are only part of the mystery. Fred also explores the enduring legends of Alaska's “Little People”—elusive, otherworldly beings said to dwell in remote regions like the Johnson River and the Aleutian Mountains. Blending Native oral history, local folklore, and firsthand accounts, these stories reveal a hidden side of Alaska where myth and reality blur, and where ancient spirits may still roam among the mountains and tundra.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Send us a textThe jokes land early, but this one gets real fast. We sit down with Chief Master Sergeant Scott Roy to trace a winding path from a PJ washout to a proud Security Forces career shaped by cold Alaskan nights, club-door policing, and a stubborn love for the craft. He doesn't romanticize the work. He names the tradeoffs, the grey areas of law enforcement on base, and the small standards that signal big discipline—from boots and blousing to the way a patch can shape identity.We dig into training that actually builds readiness. Roy argues for fewer scattered requirements and sharper fundamentals, led by credible instructors who live the standard, not just brief it. He explains why putting weapons and tactics minds in training roles yields better results, and why the new mission-aligned blocks beat bloated, generic hours. His line you don't rise to the occasion, you fall to your lowest level of training frames everything—from active shooter drills to the everyday patrol decisions that set culture.Then we wade into the murk of promotions, boards, and stratifications. Roy favors ownership in the early tiers and honest scrutiny in the senior ones, while calling out the damage done by mixed messages and secrecy. The answer isn't coddling or cruelty; it's clear criteria, tailored delivery, and leaders willing to be supervisors before friends. He also lays down a wishlist: make PT matter for promotion, reinforce dress and appearance to restore pride, and bring back duty identifiers with restraint so they honor mission over vanity.If you've ever felt stuck between standards and reality, this conversation is a field guide to moving forward with integrity. Tap play for hard-won lessons on motivation, mentorship, and the patience to pick the right hills to charge. If this hit home, follow the show, share it with a teammate, and leave a review with your best leadership lesson—what should we tackle next?

Voted #1 as the best private school on many different levels, Holy Rosary Academy in Anchorage is a beacon of hope, excellence and virtue.I'm thrilled to get to visit today with Principal Marie-Louise Schirda about the role of classical education and why it is needed more today than ever before. From the HRA website, Marie-Louise is "rooted in Alaskan soil, not only by virtue of her family's work as the state's largest producer of farm-to-table produce, but also in her long-term commitment to delivering a classical K-12 curriculum in the Catholic tradition to Holy Rosary Academy students.Mrs. Schirda adventured around the globe to achieve her distinctly Catholic education. She attended high school at Trivium School in Massachusetts and then graduated from Thomas More College of Liberal Arts in New Hampshire. While at Thomas More, she spent one semester in Rome, steeped in the art and architecture of many magnificent Catholic churches, backdropped by the grandeur and beauty of the ancient ruins.She earned her master's degree in Anglo-Irish Literature and Drama from University College Dublin, Ireland, and came back to the States to attend Gonzaga University, where she completed her state licensure to teach.

Joe Kelly is the co-founder and CEO of Unchained. In this latest episode, Joe shares his story and Alaskan roots that shaped a deep respect for self-sufficiency—an experience he now applies to the digital frontier. In this episode, Joe joins The Bitcoin Frontier to share why Unchained is launching a new miniseries, The Last Free Americans, how self-custody became his life's work, and why the conservation movement offers a powerful analogy for protecting financial freedom. We dig into the frontier phases of new assets and ideas, the role of ETFs as a bridge (not the destination), and how policies like developer protections and “keep your coins” language can ring-fence essential rights.SUPPORT THE PODCAST: → Subscribe → Leave a review → Share the show with your friends and family → Send us an email: podcast@unchained.com → Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast → Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcastTIMESTAMPS:0:00 – Intro: The Last Free Americans and what's at stake with self-custody1:06 – Alaska, boats, and learning self-sufficiency2:54 – Conservation mindset: preserving wilderness and preserving peer-to-peer money4:03 – From accounts to keys: the “aha” of sending bitcoin yourself5:39 – Seeing the water we swim in: intermediaries, fees, and privacy tradeoffs8:03 – Frontiers and phases: from prospectors to politics—how new assets mature10:57 – Gold rush parallels: excess, scams, and integration into the mainstream12:55 – National parks as a model: ring-fencing what matters for future generations15:00 – “The last free Americans”: a proud warning about peer-to-peer rights17:02 – Building Unchained on bitcoin's assumptions, not fiat rails19:16 – ETFs as a useful bridge vs. living the peer-to-peer experience21:03 – Who are today's “John Muirs”?

In this chilling episode Fred from Alaska, who brings two haunting accounts from the frozen north—true stories of isolation, terror, and survival in one of the world's most unforgiving landscapes.The first story follows Bernie, a woman living alone on a remote Alaskan homestead after the tragic loss of her husband. What begins as unsettling noises and strange disturbances around her cabin soon escalates into a harrowing confrontation with hairy, caveman-like beings that emerge from the forest.Alone and armed only with her courage, Bernie faces the unthinkable as she fights to survive against something not entirely human—and not entirely animal. Fred also shares a second account from Joseph, set in 1987 in Bristol Bay, where a dense fog hides something terrifying in the mist. The encounter that follows defies explanation and adds another chapter to Alaska's long history of cryptid encounters and wilderness mysteries. These are stories of fear, endurance, and the strange, untamed forces that still roam the edges of civilization.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
