BTW the Disautel pass Sasquatch survived the fire!   https://okanogancountry.com/poi/sasquatch-disautel-pass

If Sasquatch can pack a full grown man and his gear up and down the Cascade brambles at 15 mph? I guess that would explain a lot. Because we can never catch up to the hide and seek champion!   My mules fully loaded averaged 3 mph in the mountains on a trail. Average load with pack saddle was 250-350 lbs depending on what was taking place. We often were heavier on the way out if we had scored an Elk. To avoid making several trips. 30 miles was a very very long day.    15 mph with a 300 lbs ”pack” off trail is absolutely smoking fast….   And Bigfoot is allegedly 800 lbs and my mules were between 1200 and 1400 lbs. So very fast and very very strong for its size. 800 lbs is the size of a large Pony. Or a Bull Elk.   But if your whole life is about killing something and packing it back to a cave or hidden canyon? They gotta get it done somehow. And Grizzly are gonna come sniffing around. The best defense would be distance. 

How have I villainized Sasquatch? Pushing morality onto animals is silly IMHO.   How am I attempting to justify an idea? Science isn’t an idea. I am simply telling you how it works. Go talk to the Smithsonian about type specimens!   https://collections.nmnh.si.edu/search/   How am I telling you that 2 type specimens is the best way to prove them to science? Again…. Type specimens ARE taken in the scientific classification process. Full stop! You said you were scared of black widows, not me. I never introduced spiders into this conversation. You did.🤷‍♂️ As a boy I used to collect spiders in jars. I liked the jumping ones the best.   I do know what they eat. Because the land dictates what they can and cannot eat. Plus there are mounds of anecdotal evidence that they hunt and eat meat. Plants do not grow in winter in the Rocky Mountains. And primates don’t hibernate like Bears. Hence Bigfoot while an omnivore will absolutely kill and eat meat if given the chance. A 800 lbs body is expensive. Especially during winter.   Yes. Now show me a group of animals that take revenge hours later on a human cabin by throwing giant stones in a coordinated attack? And there are plenty of other accounts of rocks being thrown at people. We are obviously not dealing with just another animal here.    

'I personally think the Guy got his locations mixed up, but if he says he made his way up the Toba then we'd have to assume he did.. Assuming this is true however,, i don't believe that he could be sure of being taken 25 Miles North/North East of the Toba by a Sasquatch ( he actually said 10 Miles in what i read ), especially with, as you pointed out, him coming out down by the Sechelt Inlet. That would say to me that he got taken South/South East instead, it would also mean that Mt Baker would have been more likely with regards to visibility. Anyway's, he believed that he had made 10 Miles or so from the head of the Toba Inlet in a North/North East direction when he first noticed disturbances.. He said he was awake for around about 3 hours inside the Sleeping Bag until they reached their destination & was asleep when he was picked up, speed would be unknown but was " going at a trot for a long time ".. He actually said he was awakened when he was picked up but half aseep, then said he had " no idea when it started as i was asleep when he picked me up ".. On his " escape " he made 3 miles in " record time " & then headed West emerging 2 days later on the Salmon Arm of Sechelt Inlet.. He simply must have headed South/South East whilst in the Sleeping Bag, towards the Sechelt Inlet but on the East side of the Jervis Inlet.. The distance from Ostman's alleged Camp which is inclusive of the 10 Miles North East he thought he made from landing at the head of the Toba, to the middle of the Salmon Arm is around 60 Miles.. If we are to assume that Ostman was taken South by the Sasquatch, then in 3 hours the Sasquatch would need to have been going at a pace of around 15 Miles per hour on average for those 3 hours or so that he was aware he was being transported, to be there or thereabouts & within the time & distances..'

Villainizing Sasquatch promotes and attempts to justify the idea that killing a Male and a Female is the best way to prove them to Science.  As I'm sure you know, there are many dangerous animals and many laws against poaching.  I'm not terrified of Spiders as you say, I actually admire and study them.  I am just cautious and respective of many animals, those that kill humans and those that don't.    I don't know what they eat and neither do you.  And, in Ape Canyon, I'm assuming that you would be armed to the hilt and preferably not alone (I would be.)  There are actually numerous animals and plants that 'throw' projectiles.  Do the math yourself.  You are generalizing the term 'Science' a bit randomly.        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_use_by_non-human_organisms
