Deep in the forest, people have been vanishing for years. Children. Hikers. Families. With no evidence and no answers; the disappearances became nothing more than another forgotten cold case. Determined to uncover the truth, investigative journalists Theo and Michael follow their only lead, an outcast named Earl, who claims there are monsters that live in the woods. But as the three went deeper the more they feared The forest is watching. Somethings watching Something is hunting them.

I personally believe that step downs are one of the best strength exercises for hikers. And I use them, in one shape or form, for almost all my clients.  And in today's episode, I explore a few deeper reasons why I am such a fan (beyond them just being 'useful' or 'specific' for hikers).

In this episode we chat with Paul Gadola about the event that turns Damascus, Virginia into one of the most beloved gathering places in trail culture: Trail Days. Paul shares how his own Appalachian Trail journey shaped his life, eventually led him to Damascus, and gave him a front-row seat to the community that keeps hikers coming back year after year. They talk about the reunion-like feel of Trail Days, the trail magic that defines thru-hiker culture, and why this festival has become so much more than a weekend event. If you've ever wondered what makes the Appalachian Trail community so special, this conversation gives you a look inside the stories, people, and spirit behind it.Life in Motion is brought to you by Actual Outdoors.

  John & Mildred Cooper Nature Preserve (Part 1) Don’t Over-Think It: Dragging Your Feet To Retirement Let’s take a hike through a portion of the John & Mildred Cooper Nature Preserve. The John & Mildred Cooper Nature Preserve is a scenic, 440-acre wilderness area tucked away off Rocoso Drive in Hot Springs Village. Named after the Village's founders and owned by The Nature Conservancy, the preserve offers a more rugged, “back-to-nature” experience compared to the community’s paved paths, featuring over 3 miles of natural-surfaced trails. Hikers can explore three distinct interconnected routes—the Saline River Trail, Cooper Trail, and the popular Piney Woods Loop—which meander through lush forests and offer peaceful views of the Middle Fork of the Saline River. It is a favored destination for birdwatchers and those seeking a quiet, moderately challenging trek through the Ouachita Mountain foothills, though visitors should come prepared for unpaved terrain and seasonal mud after heavy rains. Today’s conversation was sparked by the umpteenth time a couple told me, “We should have done this much sooner!”    • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________

In this episode, we explore the idea of rucking for hikers (e.g loaded-pack walking). And we give a bit of a nuanced take on this subject (to try and balance out a lot of the exaggeration that is seen online with this subject). Inside, we answer the questions: Is rucking an effective way to build muscle strength? Is rucking useful for improving or maintaining bone density? Can rucking help with weight loss? Is rucking beneficial for the immune system? Can rucking help with longevity? == Want to get fit, strong and resilient for your hiking adventures?

In this episode, Brian shares an email from a military veteran who served multiple combat tours in Afghanistan and wants the world to hear a story that's been buried for three decades. Matt, as he asks to be called, writes in about a confession made to him by a fellow soldier he calls Joe during a night of drinking while the two were stateside between deployments. Joe revealed that in the mid nineteen nineties, long before the war on terror, he was part of a small specialized team dispatched into an unnamed national park after two hikers went missing.The male hiker's body was found twenty five feet up in a tree with his neck broken. The female hiker was never found. What search teams did find were massive humanoid footprints ranging from sixteen inches to nearly twenty three inches long pressed deep into the soil along a remote creek drainage. Joe's team was briefed by an unnamed civilian and given a single objective: locate and eliminate the creatures responsible.What followed was a harrowing two day hunt through old growth forest that culminated in the killing of four creatures, including a female, a juvenile estimated at around five feet tall, and a massive adult male standing over eight feet tall that charged the team and injured two soldiers before being brought down. Within hours of the kills, an unmarked black helicopter arrived carrying a civilian recovery team that bagged the bodies and flew them out to an unknown location. The soldiers were debriefed, told the mission never happened, and ordered to never speak of it again.

Sasquatch Terror for HikersIn 2016, while driving from Los Angeles to Portland with his girlfriend and detouring for off-roading in his new Jeep, the narrator and his partner heard repeated blood-curdling screams echoing through remote mountain roads, sounding like a woman in distress. They dismissed it at the time, but later at a tourist spot they discovered a guest book filled with locals' Bigfoot sightings, planting the first seed of curiosity in his mind. Four years later, now a committed Bigfoot believer with a new Jeep Rubicon, a massive Mastiff, and a new girlfriend, he set out on what seemed like a routine hike in the mountains near central LA County. As they descended into a bowl-shaped valley, they encountered a series of increasingly large piles of freshly uprooted shrubs and bushes deliberately blocking the narrow trail—plants too tough for any human to pull bare-handed—followed by twisted and braided tree branches high overhead. The climax came at a massive 9-foot-wide, 6-foot-tall wall of freshly torn trees and debris that completely sealed the path; after pushing through, they felt intensely watched, heard sprinting footsteps, and glimpsed a large figure scrambling up a steep cliff and hiding behind bushes, rocks tumbling in its wake. Years afterward, while camping with a friend in a Sequoia grove in Yosemite's Sierra National Forest, the narrator heard slow, deliberate knocking sounds coming from the tree line across a clearing—sounds that ceased whenever anyone approached within 25 feet and resumed once they retreated, as if something were playfully interacting with them. Though his life has since changed dramatically—his beloved dog passed away in 2020, he sold his Jeep, moved away from Southern California, and hikes far less—these encounters left him forever drawn to the outdoors and convinced of what lurks unseen in the wild.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support

What if one of the strangest mountains in Europe wasn't just a mountain?This week, we head to the border of Germany and Austria to explore the mystery of Untersberg - a massive limestone mountain looming over the city of Salzburg that has been surrounded by strange stories for centuries.At first glance, Untersberg looks like any other peak in the Alps. But beneath the cliffs and forests lies a vast underground labyrinth. More than 400 caves have been discovered inside the mountain, some plunging over a kilometer into the earth, and even today large portions of the cave system remain unexplored.And that's where the stories begin.Local folklore claims a powerful emperor sleeps somewhere inside the mountain - waiting for the day he will awaken and lead one final battle. Other legends speak of mysterious beings that live in the tunnels beneath the rock, guarding hidden chambers and ancient secrets.Then the twentieth century added an entirely new layer to the mystery.Just miles away from Untersberg, "A Famously Evil Austrian Painter" built his infamous mountain retreat, the Kehlsteinhaus (Eagle's Nest), surrounded by a network of wartime bunkers and tunnels carved into the mountainside.But the strange stories didn't end with World War II.Hikers have long reported strange experiences on the mountain... losing track of time, encountering unexplained phenomena in the caves, and sometimes disappearing entirely.And in the early 2000s, an engineer published a book claiming he had encountered something impossible beneath the mountain: a hidden world deep inside the rock.So what exactly is Untersberg?A beautiful but dangerous alpine landscape filled with caves and folklore?Or something stranger?This episode is about:A mountain filled with tunnels that stretch deep beneath the Alps. Legends of sleeping emperors and the beings said to guard them. The dark history of wartime bunkers carved into the mountainside. And the stories that continue to make people wonder what might still be hidden inside.Because for centuries, locals have had another name for this place.They call it “the mountain that eats men.”If you've ever looked at a place on a map and wondered what secrets might be hiding beneath it… this one's for you.Stay curious.Stay weird.Be Forever Rad.CONNECT WITH US

On a snowy Black Friday in November 2024, a 22-year-old experienced hiker from Quebec set out alone to climb one of the most remote peaks in New York's Adirondack Mountains—a challenging 18-mile journey he expected to complete in a single day. When he didn't return as planned, what followed was one of the most extensive search operations in Adirondack history, involving dozens of elite forest rangers battling brutal winter conditions for over a week. This is the story of Leo Dufour, a university student studying to become a teacher who had already conquered 32 of the legendary 46 High Peaks, and the extraordinary efforts to find him in a wilderness that doesn't always give up its secrets. It's a reminder that even the most prepared among us are never more than one wrong turn away from the unforgiving power of the mountains. 00:00 Introduction to Disaster Strikes 00:42 Leo Dufour's Quest in the Adirondacks 03:00 The Challenge of Allen Mountain 07:09 The Search and Rescue Efforts 12:47 The Aftermath and Lessons Learned 24:37 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ References: "New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Statement on Recovery of Missing Canadian Hiker Leo DuFour."

https://slasrpodcast.com/      SLASRPodcast@gmail.com   Welcome to Episode 222 of the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue Podcast, where this week we've got a packed show — we're talking winter conditions in the White Mountains, some SAR news,  big news out of Lincoln Woods with trail closures coming for several weeks.  Also - Stomp is back and has stories from snowmobile guiding  a near-death moment, moose encounters, and some rumors floating around about a possible shoulder-season live show. Plus we've got news out of England involving people behaving badly, a winter gear check-in with Nick's new Black Diamond Mercury Mitts, favorite cold-weather trail foods, and a reminder that if your wool isn't as warm as it used to be… We'll do some pop-culture talk, including A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and a rundown of some early Oscar buzz movies, we'll talk about beer, recent hikes, future plans, and we've got another great batch of listener hikes of the week. And for a  history segment, we're going way back — we're digging into early Appalachian Mountain Club field meetings and what hiking looked like in the late 1800s when it was very much a group sport, with large organized excursions, committee oversight, and post-hike reporting that sounds nothing like modern hiking culture. All that plus sponsors, donations, stickers, swag, and everything else you've come to expect.

A true crime / survival mystery from the Siberian wilds: in August 1993, seven hikers entered the Hamar-Daban Mountains of Buryatia (near Lake Baikal)—and only one walked back out. What happened on that windswept ridge has been called the “Buryat Dyatlov Pass”: a sudden storm, a frantic descent, and then a cascade of bizarre symptoms—foaming at the mouth, blood, panic, and collapse—leaving six bodies scattered on an exposed ledge while a terrified teen survivor staggered to a river and found help.  Officials ruled hypothermia and closed the case. But the details refused to stay buried: claims of missing eyes later attributed to scavengers, questions about food and exhaustion, and theories ranging from toxic exposure to military testing to the possibility of cold/altitude-related pulmonary edema.  Inside this episode:The trek: Lyudmila Korovina leads six young hikers into the Hamar-Daban rangeThe turn: August 4–5 — a brutal storm hits at roughly 2,300 metersThe collapse: eyewitness survivor account of sudden convulsions and rapid deathsThe recovery: why the scene looked “impossible,” and what time + wildlife can doThe official file: why authorities said hypothermia—and what they dismissedTheories vs. evidence: separating folklore from what the record can actually supportThis is a case where nature, fear, and unanswered questions collide—and the only person who knows the final minutes had to live with them forever. We're telling that story tonight.

When a hiker goes missing, the public often pictures helicopters and grid searches. Former National Park Service protection ranger and author Andrea Lankford says the reality is more complicated and more human: one-person patrols hours from backup, perishable rope and medical skills, families living in limbo, and a growing ecosystem of online sleuths and volunteer searchers who sometimes find what agencies miss. In this episode of Policing Matters, host Jim Dudley speaks with Lankford about what “the thin green line” looks like in practice and what her investigation into three Pacific Crest Trail disappearances taught her about technology, teamwork and trust.

High on Maine's Mt. Katahdin, the Appalachian Trail ends in a place wrapped in mystery—and haunted by a storm spirit. Hikers whisper about sudden fog, eerie moans in the wind, and the sense of eyes watching from the Knife's Edge ridge. The Wabanaki people know who it is: Pamola, the ancient birdlike guardian said to punish anyone who dares disrespect the mountain. Is he a cryptid, a god, or something else? Spectral moose sightings, violent storms, and eerie winds all carry his name. And when skies turn from clear to chaos in a heartbeat, locals say it's Pamola reminding you this isn't just a climb—it's sacred ground.
