Che Guevara – the man whose name became a global symbol of rebellion and justice. Born in Argentina, Ernesto “Che” Guevara transformed from a curious medical student into a fearless revolutionary who challenged empires. His deep compassion for the poor and oppressed pushed him to fight alongside Fidel Castro in Cuba's liberation, where his courage, strategy, and leadership changed history. From the jungles of Cuba to the mountains of Congo and Bolivia, Che's relentless spirit inspired millions to dream of freedom. He was not just a guerilla commander but also a thinker, writer, and a voice for the voiceless. Even after his death, his words and image ignite revolutions of thought across continents. Che's life is a story of ideals, sacrifice, and the belief that one determined soul can change the fate of nations. KiranPrabha narrates the interesting life journey of Che Guevara in this multi part series. This is Part - 5. Che Guevara's journey from Escambray mountains to Santa Clara and from there to Havana in the last phase of Cuba Revolution - is covered in this episode.

In this episode of Redefining Energy Tech Michael Barnard sat down with Lyle Trytten, who many in the industry know as the nickel nerd. He has spent decades working in mining and mineral processing and has become a trusted voice for organizations like Natural Resources Canada and the International Energy Agency. Our conversation turned to the techno-economic realities of seabed mining, a topic made timely by American executive orders on resource leasing and the ongoing debates around the Clarion Clipperton Zone in the Pacific.Lyle laid out the three categories of undersea mineralization that matter: manganese-rich crusts closer to shore, sulfide deposits around black smokers, and the polymetallic nodules that dominate the abyssal plains. It is those nodules that attract the most attention, given their mix of manganese, nickel, copper, cobalt and iron. The percentages matter here. Manganese makes up 20 to 30% of nodules, feeding a steel market of about 20 million tons annually. Copper mirrors manganese in demand at similar volumes. Nickel sits above copper in value, with nodules carrying over 1% grades. Cobalt is the prize, worth two and a half times nickel and largely controlled today by the Democratic Republic of Congo with annual output of 250,000 to 300,000 tons. Compared to terrestrial deposits, those grades are very competitive, often better than what current copper and nickel mines deliver onshore.Of course, the challenge is not what lies within the nodules but where they are. Four kilometers down is a different game than an open pit in Chile. Lyle framed it with a simple multiplier: one times for onshore, ten times for offshore, a hundred times underwater, and a thousand times when you hit the seabed. The Clarion Clipperton Zone lies thousands of kilometers from shore, making costs and logistics daunting. Even compared to offshore oil, with rigs like Deepwater Horizon working at 1.5 kilometers depth, this is an order of magnitude harder. That reality explains why seabed mining remains more a promise than a practice.We also dug into the credibility problem the sector faces. The history of mining is littered with scams, from Bre-X to pump-and-dump juniors, which is why Canada now requires transparent disclosures under NI 43-101. Without strict governance and independent validation, seabed mining risks repeating those mistakes. The resource base is not the issue. Just as with oil, the minerals are there. The question is whether reserves—economically viable, technically accessible deposits—will come online in time to meet surging demand, especially for copper, which looks tight in the next 15 years.Substitutability plays a role too. Aluminum can stand in for copper in transmission lines. Stainless steel has shifted chemistries in response to nickel price spikes. Battery makers tweak their chemistries—NMC ratios change with market conditions, and lithium iron phosphate has taken half the electric vehicle market without using nickel, manganese, or cobalt at all. Recycling will matter increasingly, but with service lives of decades for stainless and 20 years for batteries, secondary supply will not relieve near-term shortages. Companies like Redwood Materials and Moment Energy are building the bridge to a circular system, but the lag time is real.The conversation left me with a clear takeaway. Seabed mining is not an easy fix. The minerals are there in attractive grades, but the depth, cost, and governance challenges are immense. At the same time, demand for copper, nickel, and cobalt will keep rising, and prices will eventually force new sources to market. The industry has opportunities in recycling, substitution, and responsible development, but the old habits of hype and over-promising will have to be broken if it is to have a role in the critical minerals future.

Jesse Cope explores what it means to prioritize our relationship with God and our spouses through our daily actions and time investments. The episode challenges listeners to examine whether their professed values align with how they actually spend their time, while offering encouragement that though none of us is perfect, we should continually strive toward Christ-like character.• Comparing our spiritual growth only to our past selves rather than to others• The persecution of Christians in the Democratic Republic of Congo and what we take for granted• Biblical teaching on marriage and mutual responsibilities in physical intimacy from 1 Corinthians 7• Reflections on 2 Thessalonians and the hope of eternal rest that awaits believers• The importance of clergy addressing contemporary issues from a biblical perspective• Historical wisdom from John Adams on the role of pastors in speaking to cultural challengesIf you're looking for clean, wholesome, family-friendly fantasy, check out my book series "Countryside" - two books available now with a third one in the works.

Lacroix amesema “Katika jimbo la Ituri pekee kuna makambi kadhaa ya wakimbizi wa ndani, ambayo yanalindwa na MONUSCO, ambapo makumi ya maelfu kwa hakika mamia ya maelfu ya watu wanalindwa na wenzetu wa MONUSCO na wanapatiwa msaada.”Mkuu huyo wa operesheni za ulinzi wa amani ameohitimisha kwa kusema ziara hii ni muhimu sana kwani “Nipo hapa kuonyesha kile ambacho MONUSCO hufanya kila siku, tofauti ambayo MONUSCO inaleta katika kuwalinda raia hawa, tofauti kati ya kuwa salama au kuwa katika hatari kubwa, na nilitaka pia kutoa shukrani zangu kwa wenzetu wa MONUSCO. Aidha, nilitaka kuwasikiliza wananchi, hawa wakimbizi wa ndani, pamoja na jamii, na kuona namna ambavyo tunaweza kushirikiana nao zaidi ili kuboresha hali na kupiga hatua katika kukabiliana na ghasia ambazo bado zinaendelea katika eneo hilo.”Baada ya zira yake jimboni Itari Lacrix ameelekea katika mji Mkuu Kinshasa ambako amekutana na na kuzungumza na maafisa wa serikali.

Environmental politics has traditionally been a peripheral concern for international relations theory, but increasing alarm over global environmental challenges has elevated international society's relationship with the natural world into the theoretical limelight. IR theory's engagement with environmental politics, however, has largely focused on interstate cooperation in the late twentieth century, with less attention paid to how the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century quest to tame nature came to shape the modern international order. The Ideal River: How Control of Nature Shaped the International Order (Manchester UP, 2022) examines nineteenth-century efforts to establish international commissions on three transboundary rivers - the Rhine, the Danube, and the Congo. It charts how the Enlightenment ambition to tame the natural world, and human nature itself, became an international standard for rational and civilized authority and informed our geographical imagination of the international. This relationship of domination over nature shaped three core IR concepts central to the emergence of early international order: the territorial sovereign state; imperial hierarchies; and international organizations. The book contributes to environmental politics and international relations by highlighting how the relationship between society and nature is not a peripheral concern, but one at the heart of international politics.

Ghost takes listeners on a sweeping journey from Africa's mineral wars to China's bold calls for a new global system. He breaks down Trump's quiet role in negotiating peace in the Congo through Tiffany Trump's father-in-law, Massad Boulos, exposing how decades of corruption, Israeli diamond cartels, and corporate exploitation left $24 trillion in minerals at the center of global conflict. Ghost explains how Rwanda-backed militias, black-market smuggling, and coups tie directly to deep state networks, while Qatar positions itself as the world's new mediator. Shifting to China, he unpacks the SCO summit where Putin, Xi, Kim Jong Un, and Iran's president pledged multipolar cooperation against Western hegemony, with Trump's tongue-in-cheek Truth Social posts adding another layer of intrigue. From Ebola outbreaks in the Congo to Putin's Arctic deals and Kim's pledge to Russia, Ghost connects the dots between cartels, coups, and competing world orders. A dense, fiery episode that blends history, geopolitics, and narrative warfare into one.

Pamela Michaux was born in Congo, raised between two cultures, two continents, and too many silences.

She transformed her trials and tribulations to a meaningful powerful purpose.

Join Spencer "Dick Butkiss" Crittenden, Jeff "Teen Wolf Creator" Davis, and Kevin "Spartan Shelf Life" Day as they somehow transform a simple podcast about oysters and clams into a sprawling discussion of Belgian colonialism, psychic dogs, and Spencer's complete life meltdown. Jeff returns from his European adventure armed with Dutch philosophy ("Eat the apple pie, my friend. It is not going to get any better"), disturbing knowledge about King Leopold II's Congo shenanigans, and an unhealthy obsession with Liège waffles. Meanwhile, the hosts debate the finer points of carbonating Jägermeister, Kevin's mysterious 15-year-old SodaStream with questionable geopolitical connections, and whether Pokemon would be too caloric to consume (gotta eat them all!).

Che Guevara – the man whose name became a global symbol of rebellion and justice. Born in Argentina, Ernesto “Che” Guevara transformed from a curious medical student into a fearless revolutionary who challenged empires. His deep compassion for the poor and oppressed pushed him to fight alongside Fidel Castro in Cuba's liberation, where his courage, strategy, and leadership changed history. From the jungles of Cuba to the mountains of Congo and Bolivia, Che's relentless spirit inspired millions to dream of freedom. He was not just a guerilla commander but also a thinker, writer, and a voice for the voiceless. Even after his death, his words and image ignite revolutions of thought across continents. Che's life is a story of ideals, sacrifice, and the belief that one determined soul can change the fate of nations. KiranPrabha narrates the interesting life journey of Che Guevara in this multi part series. This is Part - 4. Guerilla encounters in Sierra Maestra mountains, Che's leadership , long march from mountains to central cuba - topics are covered in this episode.

Kila siku ahakikisha watu wanapata maji safi na huduma za usafi salama.Akiwa pamoja na wakimbizi wenzake, Ahunga anapita nyumba kwa nyumba kufundisha familia jinsi ya kuzuia magonjwa kupitia usafi kwani anaamini elimu ni ufunguo(AHUNGA CLIP 2)“Tunasaidia kuelimisha jamii yetu ili wawe wasafi. Wawe na vyoo, wawe na mabafu, wawe na vichanja na wawe na mashimo ya takataka.”Watu wakielewa, wanaweza kujilinda.Anasema watu wakieelewa ni rahisi kujilinda na juhudi zake zinaokoa maisha na kuhamasisha wengine, zikionyesha kwamba hata katika mazingira magumu, wakimbizi wanaweza kuongoza mabadiliko katika jamii zao na anasema hilo ni la muhimu sana kwani(AHUNGA CLIP 3)“Tunasaidia jamii yetu ili wajilinde na magonjwa ya milipuko”Kwa msaada wa UNHCR na Baraza la Wakimbizi la Norway, maelfu ya wakimbizi katika kambi za wakimbizi za Kigoma sasa wana maji salama, usafi wa mazingira ni bora, na wana matumaini mapya ya maisha.

L'information fait les gros titres de la presse congolaise. « La Cour de cassation a condamné hier, relate le site Actualités CD, l'ancien ministre de la Justice Constant Mutamba à trois ans de travaux forcés pour détournement de fonds publics. Le dossier portait sur 19 millions de dollars destinés à la construction d'une prison à Kisangani. Outre la peine principale, la haute juridiction a prononcé à son encontre une interdiction de cinq ans d'accéder à toute fonction publique ». « Un verdict qui secoue Kinshasa », s'exclame Le Journal de Kinshasa. Dans la nuit de lundi à mardi, « la police est intervenue pour disperser des dizaines de partisans de l'ancien Garde des sceaux qui veillaient devant sa résidence à Ngaliema, manifestant leur soutien. Au petit matin, le périmètre autour de sa maison était quadrillé par les forces de l'ordre, prêtes à toute éventualité ». Un choc dans l'opinion Alors, sur le fond, certes, pointe Le Journal de Kinshasa, cette peine de 3 ans de travaux forcés est « bien en deçà des dix ans requis par le ministère public, mais elle crée un choc dans l'opinion entre ceux qui y voient une clémence calculée et d'autres, une justice qui passe. (…) Pour les partisans de Mutamba, qui dénonçaient un "procès politique", ce verdict pourrait être perçu comme une demi-victoire. Pour les observateurs, il marque peut-être la fin d'un long feuilleton judiciaire, mais ouvre un nouveau chapitre, celui de l'exécution de la peine et de la restitution des fonds. (…) Alors que Constant Mutamba a été immédiatement placé sous mandat de dépôt, une question persiste : cette sentence, ferme dans son principe mais clémente dans sa durée, apaisera-t-elle la rue ou attisera-t-elle davantage la colère ? » Instrumentalisation ? Scoop CD, autre site congolais, rappelle que l'ancien ministre de la Justice s'était fait le chantre de la lutte anti-corruption. Et que pour certains, le doute plane sur la véracité des accusations qui sont portées contre lui. « L'éviction politique de Mutamba lance un signal ambigu, écrit Scoop CD. Les réseaux mafieux qu'il dénonçait restent actifs ; les institutions judiciaires sont fragilisées ; l'impunité va s'accroitre davantage et l'État congolais est incapable de garantir la continuité de cette lutte. Le procès de Constant Mutamba dépasse largement le cadre d'un simple détournement de fonds, poursuit Scoop CD. Il cristallise les tensions profondes qui traversent la RDC : une justice en quête de crédibilité, un pouvoir politique miné par les soupçons d'impunité ».  Il est vrai, analyse Afrik.com, que « ce procès, très médiatisé, revêt une portée symbolique forte dans un pays régulièrement secoué par des scandales de corruption. Ancien ministre de la Justice, Constant Mutamba incarnait, aux yeux de nombreux Congolais, une contradiction flagrante : celui qui devait garantir l'intégrité du système judiciaire est désormais condamné pour l'avoir trahi. Pour ses partisans, il s'agit toutefois d'une justice instrumentalisée à des fins politiques. Le camp présidentiel, lui, présente ce verdict comme une preuve de la détermination de l'État à lutter contre l'impunité et à assainir la gestion publique ». Quel avenir ? La presse ouest-africaine met son grain de sel… Ledjely en Guinée, s'interroge : « si Mutamba est bien coupable des faits reprochés, certains de ses ennemis n'ont-ils pas profité de ses faux pas pour précipiter sa chute ? En tout cas, en RDC, ce n'est pas tous les jours qu'une sentence aussi sévère est prononcée pour une tentative de détournement qui n'a finalement pas abouti ». Et puis ce commentaire d'Aujourd'hui à Ouagadougou : « c'est la chute d'un jeune loup aux dents longues, qu'on promettait à un avenir enviable. Déjà, il était un candidat malheureux à la dernière présidentielle avec 0,2% des voix. A-t- il été victime de ses rapports difficiles avec la Première ministre Judith Suminwa Tuluka ? Quel avenir pour lui à 37 ans ? Il a encore le temps de voir venir, à condition de savoir nager dans les eaux troubles du fleuve Congo ». Kabila sort de son silence Enfin, toujours à propos de la RDC, cette déclaration de Joseph Kabila, la première depuis mai dernier. Déclaration à lire dans Jeune Afrique. Rappelons que l'ancien président congolais est jugé par contumace pour haute trahison. La peine de mort a été requise à son encontre. Kabila dénonce « des accusations mensongères » et un pouvoir « incapable d'assumer la responsabilité de ses échecs. (…) Aucun élément de preuve n'a été apporté pour soutenir ces accusations », affirme-t-il. Selon lui, ce procès s'inscrit dans une « stratégie pour faire taire l'opposition dans son ensemble ».

It's Monday, September 1st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Muslims dress up as Christian cleric and choir members before killing In a chilling new tactic, Muslim rebels from the Allied Democratic Forces in Congo, Africa, disguised themselves as church officials and choristers before launching a recent fatal attack on Mayi Moya village in Beni Territory,  reports International Christian Concern. The Muslims killed three civilians and kidnapped eight. The attackers reportedly began their August 13 mission in Ngite village earlier in the morning, where they raided a church, stole clerical robes and choir garments, and posed as members of a religious delegation. One church official said, “They came into our church and stole the robes of our priests and choir; they then put them on, posing as a delegation from another church. It was a devilish plan. To use the very symbols of worship to deceive and destroy is beyond evil. My heart breaks for those who trusted them, thinking they came in peace.” When the group arrived in the village around 7:05 p.m., villagers welcomed them warmly, believing they were part of a church mission. Survivor Jean-Philip Mboosa recalled, “I thought initially that they genuinely were from a church. They greeted us with smiles and songs, and it looked so real. But when I went closer, I noticed guns hidden beneath the robes. That's when my heart sank. I knew we had been tricked. I walked quietly back and then ran into the bush, praying God would protect me.” In light of this story, Matthew 7:17 takes on a new connotation. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” President Trump fired Fed Reserve Board member Lisa Cook President Donald Trump fired Lisa Cook, a member of the board of governors for the U.S. Federal Reserve. In a post on Truth Social a week ago Monday, Trump cited a criminal referral presented to Attorney General Pam Bondi on August 15, alleging that Cook made “false statements on one or more mortgage agreements.” The president went on to say, “The American people must be able to have full confidence in the honesty of the members entrusted with setting policy and overseeing the Federal Reserve. In light of your deceitful and potentially criminal conduct in a financial matter, they cannot and I do not have such confidence in your integrity.”  Should Trump prevail in the legal case, his nominees would have the power to deliver Trump the rate cuts he has demanded.  Right now, the range is 4.2%-4.5%. The president would like to see the rate cut to 1%. CDC staff who Kennedy fired were promoting abortion After President Trump fired CDC Director Susan Monarez when she refused to resign, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. defended the leadership overhaul at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in an August 29th interview on “Fox & Friends,” reports LifeNews.com. KENNEDY: “The CDC has problems. We saw the misinformation coming out of COVID. They got the testing wrong. They got the social distancing [wrong], the masks [wrong], the school closures that did so much harm to the American people. “Today, on CDC's website right now, they list the 10 greatest advances in medical science, and one of them is abortion, another is fluoridation, another is vaccines. “So, we need to look at the priorities of the agency. There's really a deeply, deeply embedded, I would say, malaise at the agency.  We need strong leadership that will go in there, and that will be able to execute on President Trump's broad ambitions.” While the CDC euphemistically references “family planning,” under its “Ten Great Public Health Achievements” of the 20th century, everyone knows that includes abortion as a morally acceptable decision for a pregnant mother. Christian baker who refused to make ‘wedding' cake for lesbians appeals to U.S. Supreme Court A devout Christian baker in California filed a request with the U.S. Supreme Court to protect her right to create custom-designed wedding cakes that reflect her faith, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Cathy Miller, owner of Cathy's Creations and Tastries in Bakersfield, California, has endured almost a decade of the state targeting her for her 2017 decision not to bake a cake for a lesbian faux “wedding” because of her Christian faith. MILLER: “In our standards, it says that I ‘cannot participate in a wedding that would be between a man and a man or a woman and a woman.' But I'll do their birthday cakes. I'll do their cookies, you know. And there's so many other bakeries that are happy to. I'm the only one in Bakersfield that said I can't participate in that union.” Genesis 2:24 says, “A man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” Shockingly, within an hour of her polite refusal to make a wedding cake for a homosexual ceremony, the liberals tried to exact a pound of flesh. MILLER” “I said, you know, ‘I can't do your wedding cake. I can't create it for you, but I have someone who's a really good decorator, and I can refer you to her.' They got really upset. They grabbed the order form and they stormed out, and within an hour, there was a barrage of phone calls and threats. Social media just went nuts. “We received death threats, rape threats. I couldn't go anywhere except for the house, the bakery, and my church for three months. It was devastating to our family. It was devastating to the business.” One of Miller's employees also addressed the fallout. EMPLOYEE: “We had to shut down our emails. We had to shut down the phone calls. Only I or Kathy would answer them because they were very vulgar and threatening. They did break into Cathy's car and steal her computer and tried to damage the vehicle because it had a Tastries logo on it.” Miller added, “All I want is to serve my neighbors as the Gospel of Jesus Christ calls me to without being forced to create messages that violate my beliefs.” Texas House: If you send abortion kill pill, you'll be fined $100,000 And finally, the Texas House of Representatives passed a major pro-life bill last Thursday aimed at stopping mail-order abortion kill pills, reports LifeNews.com. The Woman and Child Protection Act  -- HB 7 sponsored by Sen. Bryan Hughes -- will head to the Senate for final approval this week. While abortion businesses are closing brick-and-mortar facilities, they are  shifting their tactics online. Activists send deadly pills into Texas illegally from other states and countries—to the tune of at least 19,000 orders of abortion drugs each year. Rep. Jeff Leach authored the measure. LEACH: “I am proud of this compassionate piece of legislation in front of you. This is going to save lives of baby boys and baby girls.” Democrat Texas Rep. Chris Turner, a pro-abort, asked Rep. Leach a question. TURNER: “Is your bill, House Bill 7, likely to increase or decrease women's fear of pregnancy in the state of Texas?” LEACH: “I am interested, by way of this bill, in protecting Texas babies and protecting their moms, and in building a culture of life here in the state of Texas. “Representative Turner, we should do everything we can to promote and elevate motherhood.” The Woman and Child Protection Act would do three things: First, allow Texans to shut down companies that sell abortion kill pills; Second, let women sue abortion kill pill traffickers; and And third, enable Texas to fine businesses which supply abortion drugs with a $100,000 fine.

Ian writes "The story I'm sitting down to tell, is a true one. One experienced by a faithful friend of mine, Sam, and I. I'm often reluctant to tell this story at length to most people, as the subject matter is unexplainable and rather strange. I don't want to be viewed as the superstitious nut. But having guided all across the country, and having extensive experience in many environments around the united states, I feel I have the authority to tell this story. Essentially what I'm saying is I've been around, in the deep dark hollows all across North America, and never experienced something so strange as I did that night. I don't fancify my experiences in the woods, nor do I hopefully imagine there's something more to a twig breaking. As anyone who has spent a good deal of time in the woods knows, there's no reason to. Eventually you'll experience something daring or fantastic. I am a hunter first and foremost, and to a hunter there's always an explanation, a reason to the wilderness and her inhabitants. Its how we identify patterns and exploit an animals rhythm to make a successful hunt. As a hunter you're a sort of woodsman detective, piecing together clues to set yourself up for success. Lets just say this tale is a cold-case. Let's get into it. It was early summer and I was itching to go camping. I had recently received a new tent and was eager to use it. I called up my good buddy, Sam, and we planned out our camping adventure. We considered going up to the Grayson highlands, or even south into North Carolina. After debating it, we decided it would be more fun to camp somewhere we wouldn't run into any other people. Deep in the woods, far from anyone else, where we could bushcraft, hoot and holler, and bring a gun without fear of scaring the yuppies camping next to us. While we both lived in the woods, I definitely had access to the most remote stretch of woods between us. So we loaded up our stuff and began hiking, deep into the valley below my childhood home. The hike was almost completely straight down a steep hillside, deep into a a hollow that held a small patch of flat land, a flood plane area and creek. The small creek that ran gave the area a beautiful ambiance. Early signs of summer were visible all around and the weather was great. We hiked until we felt the need to start gathering firewood before nightfall. Behind us a was a steep hillside that rose into the west for miles. In front of us was the creek, and to the left the start of another ridge and hillside that rose high into the east and north. To our right, the valley we were in, continued to go down cutting a deep valley. and on the other side of the creek another ridge, separated by a small stream from the ridge to the left, rose into the west and to the south. These two ridges in front of us ran for miles and the little valley formed by the small creek split these ridges for a long ways up until it hit the spring head. This is important for later in the story. Off to the right, further down the valley, more splits in the ridges are made by little tributaries. We started building camp by clearing the brush and leaves away and constructing a small firepit. I placed a tarp on the ground to separate my tent from the damp earth. Remember this, the tarp extended out roughly a foot on each side of my tent. Sam had a hammock that he planned to sleep in, I've only ever camped in a hammock once, and it didn't go great. But I didn't say anything to him, thinking that maybe he would enjoy it. We gathered a hefty load of firewood, consisting of some reasonably dry stuff. It was shaping up to be a really nice camping trip. I've spoken about the joy of being “out there” on this blog before, so I won't beat a dead horse, but it was really nice to be away from people. Sam and I sat around the fire and shot the shit until the sun went down. Now one of the things Sam and I have always bonded on, has been Bigfoot shows. We're both skeptics, and I would say we hold a similar or the same opinion on the subject. Our interest is less about believing in bigfoot, but rather we just find the subject matter to be nostalgic, silly, and a fun thing to joke about. So, I brought up the idea to Sam, that we begin to “Hunt” Bigfoot. He laughed and thought it was a great idea. So we began doing the antics they do in the “Finding Bigfoot” TV show. We started with the classic, Tree knocks. A “Tree Knock” for those unaware, is when you use a stick to beat on a tree, making a loud knocking sound that echoes through the forest. Supposedly sasquatch communicate this way. We didn't think anything of it at all, as I said before, we didn't really believe, we were just joking around. So we began by knocking on the trees and then stopping and listening for a response. After a few times of doing this we paused, and hearing nothing I began to think of a joke to crack and something else to do. Before I could open my mouth, we heard clear as day, a tree nock far off somewhere on the ridge to the left. I looked at Sam and said, “Dude.” Sam just looked back at me in surprise. I then did some more knocks, and we listened again. Then off in the distance, we heard more knocks in response. Then the other ridge to the right we began hearing knocks. Sam at this point was beginning to get freaked out a little and was perplexed as to what it could be. I at the time, was such a hard skeptic I carried on and insisted that it was a person or a woodpecker. “but who in the world would be out there? deeper in the woods than we are, on private land? What woodpecker makes three loud booming knocks on the tree, that sound exactly like the knocks we make?” Sam voiced his rebuttal. I ignored these arguments and held strong to the fact that there is no Bigfoot. I then insisted that we push the envelope by doing woops and howls, just like they do on TV. Sam was not very enthused by this idea, being the humbler and smarter one of us that night, knowing sometimes there's certain things you don't mess with. But at that time I was full of piss and vinegar, and stubborn as a mule about the fact that Bigfoot, is not real. I also had brought a gun with me, and was certain I could fight off anything we would need to fight off. So we started howling into the woods. It was dark that night, being a new moon, and beyond the firelight you couldn't see a damn thing. We would howl and wait listening for a reply. After a few howls, the excitement of “What was that?” started to fade and my logical, rational, science based, theory of the woodpecker began to appear true. Then, out of the dark distance came one of the strangest sounds I've ever heard. A howl. Not a canine howl, not an owls hoot, but a fucking ape howl. Sam's eyes were as big as back hoe tires, and even I was finding it hard to reason that one. Despite this, I continued my ignorant stubbornness, and threw out another howl. Off to the left ridge it replied to us again, the clearest ape whoop I've ever heard. As if it were recorded by researchers in the Congo. I looked at Sam, myself feeling more curious and excited than anything else, I reiterated, “Duuuude.” Then something truly unexplainable and spooky happened, more whoops and howls began on the ridge to the right and further down the valley. And they weren't random, they had etiquette, as if they were chatting back and forth with each other. The one to the left would howl, the one to the right would whoop and howl, the first would respond, and then the one way down the valley would chime in. Sam was really freaked out now, and began considering if we should leave. I, being a stubborn idiot, claimed it was owls. “Owls?? We were both raised in these hollers, I've heard owls, you're gonna tell me that was an owl? Have you ever in your life heard an owl that sounded like a fucking ape?” Sam argued against my claim. “Well, no, but there's no way bigfoot is real. It has to be a bunch of owls speaking to each other. There's nothing else it could be.” I replied, half laughing in astonishment and disbelief of what was unfolding that night. Sam and I kind of bickered for a minute over it, and then decided the wisest decision was to stop antagonizing whatever it was in the woods miles around us whooping and knocking. It wasn't too long after that, we decided to go to bed. I crawled into my tent, and Sam into his hammock. We left the fire going, and every time the fire died down, the woods came to life. Whether it was paranoia, or paranormal, something was stirring. All around camp we could hear what sounded like things being thrown and footsteps. From time to time we would hear another knock or another howl coming from a new position. Sam would leap out of his hammock and chuck loads of wood onto the fire and make it as big as possible. He would then lay back down to sleep. This repeated about three more times. Each time the fire died, things got spookier and spookier. A few times Sam would say, “Did you hear that?” and every time I would just blame it on possums nearing camp, hoping to find food scraps. Well, about the third time, Sam ran out of firewood. Meaning that this time when the fire died, it died for good, leaving us to the dark void of the Appalachian holler. I vividly remember I had fallen asleep before the fire died, and after it died, there was so much stirring around camp, I began to wake up. I was slowly waking up, thinking I was having some sort of nightmare, when I finally fully sobered, and realized that my dream was pleasant. It was reality that was full of frightening sounds and things that go bump in the night. The woods around us had become loud with unexplainable movement, the movement of multiple large things. The whooping and knocking had stopped, which did not comfort me, with all the new sounds right outside my door. There was maybe a 30 yard perimeter around camp that the sounds did not cross. Then suddenly, an extremely loud crashing began through the twigs, leaves, and branches. It was something large, running full sprint through the woods. Starting maybe 50 yards away, and running straight towards our camp. It grew louder and louder, until the sound of crushing leaves, turned to crinkling tarp. The creature, was standing on the tarp my tent was situated on. I was frozen. Like a child, Frozen in fear, eyes wide open. My heart was pounding out of my chest so hard I thought it would explode. I Then heard high above my tent, not near the ground, not four feet up, but high above my tent, the most terrifying sound I've ever heard. it was the sound of a huff and blow, exactly the way you hear a gorilla do it on TV. Or how the apes in planet of the apes do it. Three forceful huff and blows, then the creature turned around and ran back the way it came, back into the darkness of the night. Sam practically leaped out of his hammock and said, “You had to have heard that!” I replied with, “Yeah lets get the fuck out of here.” I slid a round into the chamber of my 30-30 and crawled out of the tent. We both got busy grabbing only our essentials, and started out of the woods. Using shitty dim flashlights, we made our way up the hill. Frantically looking behind us into the terrible night, and trying to move fast without running. We hiked a long ways and by the time we made it back to the house it was far past midnight. We never did see what it was that charged us, and we never did hear anything else after that. But whatever it was, scared us enough to make us hike out in the dead of night and leave all of our gear there. We returned the next morning in full daylight to gather our things. Looking back, I wish we had surveyed the area for tracks or some clue as to what it was, but at the time we did not want to be down there for any longer than we had to. Having been some years since this happened, I would go down there in a heart beat and not think a thing of it. When I come home, I usually feel a sense of ease in the woods. It feels like a weight is lifted off of your shoulders knowing there are no cougars or grizzly bears to worry about. For my western outdoorsy folk, familiar with cougar country, reading this and thinking, “I don't feel a weight in the woods.” my reply, would be the question, have you noticed you've been stalked before? Cougars are some of the sneakiest creatures in the animal kingdom, and just because you've never noticed it, doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I myself have been stalked, I've written about it here previously. It's a feeling that will stick with you, and definitely put you on edge in cougar country for a long time after. I have a colleague who guides western big game in New Mexico, who told me a story once that during a hunt he had a fellow guide spotting for him, and that guide watched a cougar stalk my friend through a grove of trees before giving up. My friend never had the slightest idea he was being stalked. I believe for an avid outdoorsman in cougar country, it is inevitable. And as far as grizzly country, it's a similar feeling but a little different. Most ill bear encounters happen because you surprise the bear in thick woods. I have many friends from my time in Alaska who would share stories of being charged by monster grizzlies from out of no-where. They're just hiking along, and then BOOM! 800 pounds of death is blasting straight towards them. And the consensus is the same amongst them, if you spend enough time out there, it will happen eventually. I luckily was never charged during my time in Alaska, I avoided known bear hang-outs. But the few times I spent time in bear country, I always had this jack in the box anxiety, just waiting for it to happen. What is funny though, is despite that weight being lifted initially, an old feeling always returns. I know it's not some sort of psychological thing having to do with that patch of woods specifically, because I feel it in most places in Appalachia. It's a feeling of being watched, a feeling that something is there, and a feeling of dread. And it amplifies every time you hear some strange crashing in the woods or a sound you cannot explain. Most of the times I've experienced this, I've had a gun. And I think to myself, “Come on man! You're the most badass thing out here.” Yet I can never shake that anxiety. My brother, without having ever heard this story, reluctantly asked me over the phone one day, “don't think I'm crazy but, have you ever felt creeped out in the woods below the house? I don't know what it is, but every time I go down there I feel like I'm being watched, and I get filled with dread.” Hearing him say that sent shivers down my back. Simply because I always dismissed this feeling, I've swept this story under the rug for years, telling myself it was just a bear etc. To hear my brother, who is a marine, tell me that, certified to me that I was not simply being a pussy. I've only ever felt this in two regions of the country. Appalachia, and the Redwood Forests of Northern California. Now some of you may be reading this thinking that I am a nut-job Bigfoot believer. I've been reluctant to share this story for that reason. But I want to end this, saying, I have no idea what it was that made those calls that night. I also have no idea what it was that busted into our camp. We never did lay our eyes on anything. But I want to re-iterate that the story, is true. Verbatim to how it happened as I can recall it, without any embellishment. I have no idea what it was, and you can make your own decision as to what you think it was. But being an experienced woodsman, never have I ever experienced something like that since, and I have no worldly explanation for it. Those were the events that transpired that night, and I'll let you make of that what you will.”   Here is a link to Ian's blog
