You can only get so much out of other people's accounts. The only cure for your current feelings is time in the deep woods. Experience it yourself rather than relying on people sharing their experiences for profit.5 points

This is why I seldom "go bigfooting." Instead, I go fishing, hiking, hunting, exploring, taking pictures, whatever. Make those my first priority. Do it where there seems to be an elevated (comparatively speaking) chance of bigfoot activity, but make bigfoot .. secondary. The odds of success at those other things seems higher, high enough to keep the interest going, and "bigfoot country" is a great place to do them.4 points

Getting started as an adult can be difficult. You need some friends, a mentor. Consider taking some .. I hesitate to call them "classes", maybe seminars is a better word .. from someone like REI to get you roughly familiarized with camping. Then when you are comfortable enough, try going out with a group like BFRO. It is not for everyone but .. y' gotta start somewhere. I know some people who go on such trips who "camp" inside their cars which reduces the amount of gear needed.3 points

What MIB said. "Squatching" is one part of what I do when I head out in the local mountains. I'm out there hunting, prospecting, 4x4ing, and just plain exploring, as I was over 45 years ago when I first had an encounter and trackway find.3 points

I got a text from my buddy Bill (MagniAesir on here) on Friday asking our usual research group (Magni, Thomas, Alohacop, and myself) to meet up for an outing on Sunday morning, so of course I agreed immediately. At 0800 Sunday morning I arrived at the designated spot on Hwy 7, where we all gassed up and headed for the nearby watershed where I had my sighting many years ago. It was raining, but the forecast was for a break in the rain by about 0930. The weatherman LIED!! The rain intensified through the morning, so we continued to the end of the road system near the headwater lake, where there is a rough lean-to shelter where we could sit and talk for a while before calling it a day. By the time we were heading out, what had been small trickles of water down the rocks were now waterfalls, and in places some football size rocks had been washed down the hills onto the roadway. It was definitely time to get out of Dodge! It made for a short day, but we made plans for future trips later in the Spring. The convoy at the shelter. 2 new Rubicons and my 18 year old Hummer This creek is usually a trickle through a boulder field, now a gushing torrent Run off down what is normally a dry rock face3 points

Actually, changes in construction projects have occurred in the UK and Ireland. There is a plethora of special entities over there and they have existed through the ages. Damaging a bush or tree that they hang out in is hazardous. The DeLorean factory construction destroyed a special bush. The Hawthorn tree / bush may have special meaning in the UK and Ireland. I can't recall the roadway, but construction was changed so that the road went around a Hawthorn tree. Hawthorn trees are left alone and avoided. The U.S. does not have the history that the UK has. The U.S. has forms of 'tricksters' and 'little people'. I am not going to touch skinwalkers or dogmen. Animals on the endangered species list stop construction projects.2 points

I'm just going on a wee bit of a rant here. I was looking for some books on the subject and perhaps a new film to watch (after watching a miserable "documentary" about the She-Squatchers) and it became pretty clear that the world of Bigfoot is stagnant and has been for years. I ordered Peter Byrnes book and Ron Morehead's book but nothing else on Amazon seemed to grab me or I have already read it. And really, do any new books contain any new info or is it just more of the same old stuff dressed up? There is just so much dreck and inane stuff on the publishing side you feel badly for the trees that died for them to be printed. The same with documentaries. You get to watch a few re-enactments, hear a few stories and see a guy tromping through the woods in a gorilla suit but solid evidence or any titillating info is lacking. Basically, we watch 90 minutes of people camping and thinking every brush pop is a 8 foot tall hairy giant. And the talking heads just repeat the same stuff they said in the last film they participated in. Just feels like we are spinning our wheels here and isn't that just the most frustrating thing? You'd think somebody would manage to get something "new' to breath life into things. So, has anybody seen anything lately that makes them excited about the subject or have we run the gamut and plumbed as deep as we can until serious folks do a serious study or, better yet, a body is acquired?2 points

Two is one and one is none. Redundancy saves you life when it comes to fire, water, shelter, injury, crisis communication, and navigation. I never go out without two bic lighters, paper map and compass in addition to GPS, a 1mil plastic sheet in addition to my tent, two methods to stop bleeding, an InReach Mini and PLB, and two ways to filter water. All a waste of time, money and additional weight until the circumstance comes when things hit the skids; then you're reminded how preparation pays off. Search for local survival schools and you'll likely find one or two to join. Usually not cheap but a fun time while learning. YouTube has tremendous information about various subject matters related to the outdoors. Dave Canterbury, of Dual Survival fame, runs a school out of Ohio. He also does a ton of how-to videos that are excellent. I've learned quite a bit from them. https://www.youtube.com/@DavidCanterbury/videos You have to start somepplace. Pick an area of interest, say shelter, and learn what you can about how to build a shelter good enough to save your life. Practive in your local woods. It builds confidence. Then move on to the next subject and learn about that. Oftentimes, they build on each other so learning one benefits the other. Here are a few helpful places to look: https://bushcraftusa.com/forum/ --- a variety of outdoor topics in a forum environment https://www.survivalistboards.com/forums/ -- similar ot the one above https://www.adkhighpeaksfoundation.org/adkhpf/navagation.php -- the best source material I've ever come across about map and compass, terrain association, and wilderness navigation.2 points

Well this person seems to be confused. Typically apex predators go first in a eco system. Wolves and bears in Europe. Tigers in India. Tigers in Siberia. Grizzly Bears in the western USA. The eco system lives on without them in a modified state. Typically with humans historically assuming the role. There is certainly a debate within Bigfootdom as to what is best for the species. Many coming down on the side that discovery would be bad for the species. I on the other hand point to many many species that have been saved from public concern and funding. The Mountain Gorilla for example.🤷♂️ If the Mountain Gorilla remained a cryptid? They would be gone by now.2 points

My opinion and observation is that it's only a guess. Can they really? Show us the math. It's as absurd as a guy I once watched in a BF video interview who claimed he could tell the weight and gender of a sasquatch based on their prints, step length, and appearance of the foot print. The person interviewing this guy just ate it all up hook, line and sinker. The bravado of some in the research community is astounding and laughable.2 points

If the cousins won’t help you out and you are truly interested in becoming proficient in the outdoors? There are plenty of survival schools to choose from. Varying skill levels and different courses to choose from. https://www.northwestsurvivalschool.com I have actually thought about putting on a school to learn how to do the stuff that I was raised with. A rifle, a chainsaw and a four wheel drive was like all my friends goal to own by the time we were 16. We just took it for granted. Our greatest time was every fall cutting firewood and hunting deer in the national forest.2 points

I had a chance to get out for a few hours this afternoon, thanks to lengthening daylight hours, and chose to go to a long, high ridge that separates 2 of the larger lakes N. of the Fraser River. I first visited the farthest end of the ridge reachable by 4x4 with @cmknight about 5 years ago. The main FSR leading in was in great shape, thanks to ongoing logging, but the final few km beyond the work were very degraded due to water run off exposing lots of large broken rocks, just waiting to eat tires, so that section was very slow going. At the very end of the trail, I met a Toyota 4Runner with 5 university students who were new to the area, so I stopped and shared their campfire and chatted about the region for an hour or so, until near dusk, when we all decided to make the long run back to pavement before it got really dark. I stopped several places on the way in to check for spoor, but found nothing other than human and canine, and didn't spot any game at all. There is some sighting history in the area, including a well publicized hoax played on a group of Asian tourists a few years ago, that turned out to be a prank by a local ad agency to promote an adventure company.

So my wife and I went to the "Sensing Sasquatch" exhibit today at the High Desert Museum near Bend,Oregon. It wasn't much but it showed the spiritual side of it from several Native views. Featured Native artists had quotes near their work, and this one struck me. Honestly, how foolish am I for never considering that anyone... besides the feds...would actively seek to destroy evidence to protect the species? I guess i was so blinded by my notion that most everyone...besides the feds... actually would like the existence of these creatures proven. Thoughts?1 point

Keep an eye out for Predators. Seriously, the terrain could be a caldera / meteor strike hole. And when Mazama blew up, all kinds of chaos rained down on Oregon. For mineral prospecting I purchased maps for geology, gravity anomalies and magnetic anomalies. There is a magnetic reversal location in the Cascades of Washington. Gravity is not a constant value. No, we are not going to float away.......yet. The easiest gravity anomaly to post here is about sea mounts in the ocean. Satellites that measure sea surface height have determined that sea surface height above sea mounts is lower than surrounding areas. Gravity influences sea surface height close to shore also. My point is that when we assume that we are in a 'normal' constant environment, we can encounter 'high weirdness'. There is no such thing as a routine hike. Analog is good. Trail marking can be laid out with relatively cheap surveyor tape. If you are green, biodegradable surveyor tape is available. Between Washington and Oregon, I am not sure what area has more high weirdness. Mt. Baker has Jurassic era rocks.1 point

I had both GPS and compass fail at the same time one day. Inexplicable to me. Neither would find north, the needle / icon just spun. I was in a new-to-me (then) part of a basin / shallow cirque 5-7 miles across ringed by higher peaks .. and that moment, that day, the peaks were all obscured by a cloud deck that had settled to below rim level which was maybe 1000 feet above me. THAT has not happened there again but I do seem to miss my intended travel route surprisingly often there whether I'm traveling by dead reckoning or gps.1 point

When GPSs first became available, I was using mine on the back side of the mountain near Three Finger Jack in the Oregon Cascades. I was using it to get back to our hike in campsite. I had never been there before or used my GPS in the real world scenario. I was following the arrow of the GPS back to camp and started noticing that something wasn't right. Turns out I was losing satellite connection off and on. The unit didn't have an indicator that this was happening. It was having me go in all sorts of directions and got me thoroughIy lost. Then used my compass and map to get back to the trail and then to the campsite. I never trust gadgets. I use them, but I have a back up plan. Always.1 point

Barring a skilled pal to show you some ropes, a good place to start if inclined to venture out is a book on basic wilderness navigating with map and compass (learn about local declination), spend a bit of time practicing in an open field, park or somewhere known. Then pick up a good topo or DeLorme gazetteer for your area/state and find a suitable locale for investigating. If you can find a "boxed" region between a lake/pond, mountain or woods road to explore, knowing that if you become disoriented you walk to the perimeter-- lake which you know is E or the mountain/hill base you know is W, or woods road looping around from N-S etc. I've often used this strategy bushwhacking up in the N ME woods, 5000 sq miles of desolate working forest, unmapped logging spurs that go nowhwere etc, if I get it wrong, I could be bushwhacking for days through swamps and balsam thicket, war zone of blowdowns. I started with just map and compass but when the woods are so thick, one can only take a bearing out to 50' -- there is a lot of room for error, and I've made them, great fun, 10 minutes of really knowing you're alive-- til re-oriented! I've wised up in my old age, carry a back-up gps and plb now. I don't rely on the former and prefer NEVER to use the latter. But for starting out, that tech is good reassurance, maybe enough to override concerns and get out there, just don't get lazy with learning the basic skills and become reliant on battery powered gizmos. Good luck, have fun, stay out of the news! https://www.exotac.com/products/essential-wilderness-navigation-a-real-world-guide-to-finding-your-way-safely-in-the-woods-with-or-without-a-map-compass-or-gps https://www.mhprofessional.com/the-essential-wilderness-navigator-how-to-find-your-way-in-the-great-outdoors-second-edition-9780071361101-usa1 point

Yeah, it's stagnated a bit. I've been into this subject close around 40 years now... watched and read most of what's available, probably multiple times by now. I don't see much need anymore in watching the ones in it for money like tv shows, books etc since imo, BF is worth more as a mystery. If the mystery is solved after the 1st flurry of attention then it's no big deal and there goes the cash stream/ trickle from viewers/ readers after the "new" wears off. Kind of like when the" gubmint" acknowledged UFOs , the world barely blinked. If that had happened in the 70s or 80s it would've been much bigger news. What does fan the BF flame now , however, is the recurring reports from private individuals with nothing to gain, a reputation to lose yet still come forward because they saw something that left them with more questions than answers. Those are the people ,if they're willing, to talk to or read up on and you wouldn't need big budget outdoor gear to do that.1 point

This thread goes back 6+ years. Some here have shared a lot, also GuyinIndiana has shared some truly wild vocals. A few years ago I shared a short clip of what sounded like a male and female exchange some distance away. I haven't been recording in a long time, but it is easy and fun to see results, although analysis is time-consuming. I like Jim Sherman's work a lot, among others. LordCryptid - YouTube1 point

If you're in it for entertainment, but have an aversion to clickbait and other nonsense, you're at the current end of the road. The only alternatives I see are 1) to become one of those serious folks doing serious study (There's a requirement for serious patience / stubbornness in the face of apparent lack of progress there, too.) -or- 2) volunteer to assist some forum or other (hint hint wink wink) with administrative duties (this doesn't fix the problem, but allows you to continue participating while acknowledging the current lack of motion). IMHO of course. MIB1 point

The quote is simple and straight forward. One does not need to make an epic trek into deep, dark forests. Spending money on books is questionable. None of the Four Horsemen saw a Sasquatch. Peter Byrnes never saw a Yeti or Sasquatch but he wrote a lot of books. I never bought into the Sierra Sounds entertainment noises. Rehashed rehashed and reformatted rehashed material goes on and on. The content creators have little or nothing to work with. A 'she-squatcher' story that has been lost to time occurred at the Skookum Elk lay cast site. There was a gathering of women at the Elk lay site. They hung out all day. No hairy results. They did not pay attention to the calendar. As day light faded, Elk hunters filtered out of the woods. This begs the question: were they watched through high powered scopes executing the buddy system? "Know before you go".1 point

I take it you are up to speed on the Younger Dryas cataclysm event theory? We know very very little about our origins. In the words of Roger Waters: The monkey sat on a pile of stones and he stared at the broken bone in his hand. Then strains of a Viennese quartet rang out across the land and the monkey looked up at the stars and thought to himself - memory is a stranger. History is for fools. And he cleaned his hands in a pool of holy writing, turned his back on the garden and set out for the nearest town. Hold on soldier. When you add it all up, the tears and the marrow bone. There's an ounce of gold and an ounce of pride in each legend. And the Germans kill the Jews and the Jews kill the Arabs and the Arabs kill the hostages and that is the news. Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused? He said Mama, the President's a fool. Why do I have to keep reading these technical manuals? And the joint chiefs of staff and the brokers on wall street said don't make us laugh, you're a smart kid. Time is linear. Memory's a stranger. History is for fools. Man is a tool in the hands of the great God Almighty. And they gave him command of a nuclear submarine and headed out in search of the Garden of Eden. Can't you see? It all makes perfect sense. Expressed in dollars and cents, pounds and shillings and pence. Can't you see? It all makes perfect sense.1 point

I have traveled and camped all over the United States and read a great deal on the subject and witness accounts. Some family from Idaho while I am in Ohio. I have had no encounters but I am however, fairly certain there is something out there that needs to be looked at a bit more closely.1 point

Wasn't asked of me, but answering anyway. Cavities found in their dentition indicates they consumed fruit, in addition to the bamboo in their diet. It's entirely possible the bamboo consumption increased as favored fruits decreased in their surrounding habitat. Changing environments likely led to Giganto's demise. As for the likelihood Giganto is a bigfoot direct ancestor, there is another possible candidate., Paranthropus could fill that role. Bigfoot is presumably physically larger than Paranthropus, but the timeline allows for the differences. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/10/world/largest-ape-gigantopithecus-blacki-extinction-scn/index.html1 point

In terms of competition, I still see no difference between humans and other predators to this very day. If thevrest of society didn't mediate and legally force protections, people would kill off the bears and wolves in order to horde the ungulates and protect their own crops and livestock, and human tribes would just as cheerfully kill off their cousins for the very same reasons. Alaska hunting and fishing politics is as ugly as it gets. Nothing has changed in millions of years except political pressure with conservation.1 point

No, I did not. I am aware that such hunts take place and that is enough. I do not need to see animals suffer, nobody does. Still, what do you think a short-faced bear's IQ (and subsequent cognitive ability to avoid/defend against ancient humans) was compared to a great Ape? Perhaps there was a band of suicidal Homo Erectus that got so hungry that they decided to go into the forest to hunt a Gigantopithicus, I don't know. However, in my opinion, it is unlikely that such hunts caused the extinction of Gigantopithicus. My understanding is that ancient humans hunting large, dangerous animals with spears resulted in more deaths of the hunters than the hunted. But, they were hungry so, I get it did happen. Much more likely though, environmental factors caused their extinction, which was the case with almost every other animal that went extinct before modern humans (which I think are the conquerors to which you refer).1 point

It's going to held on March 9-10 in Stilwell, OK. That's where it's always held. The Symposium is put on by MABRC, the Mid-America Bigfoot Research Council, headed by Darren Lee. There are only two speakers: Ken Gerhard and Steve James, who is a technology consultant. James has studied unexplained reports since 1997. He's been on podcasts before, such as Sasquatch Chronicles and Bigfoot Outlaw Radio.1 point

Hi all. Eric from Willow Creek, Ca. I’ve been interested in Bigfoot since I was young. I grew up on the Coast of Humboldt County and spent years camping in the Klamath Mountains with my family. I’ve lived in Willow Creek for 21 years. I retired from law enforcement 3 years ago. I feel fortunate to have been able to patrol the nooks and crannies of both Humboldt and Trinity Counties for 17 of my 27 year career. I currently volunteer at the China Flat (Bigfoot) Museum and thoroughly enjoy sharing the history of Bigfoot as it pertains to Willow Creek, the Klamath Mountains, and Northwest Ca.1 point

After several weeks of nasty weather, we finally got a nice weekend here in the Fraser Valley of BC, so I got out for a short field trip this afternoon. About 2 weeks ago, we got hit with a record one day snow fall of between 25 an40 cm (10 to 17in), followed by 10 days of rain and higher than normal temps, so I wanted to see how much snow was left in the local mountains. I met Thomas and Magni for lunch, but they had other plans for the rest of the day, so I headed to a nearby mountain for a careful solo run. I needn't have worried, since there were only very small patches of snow left in the shadiest spots. I reached the highest point of the logging road system on Murdo Mt., hitting only one 10 yard stretch of snow in the same spot where I was stranded for hours at this time last year. I scouted the little bit of snow, and every wet patch I came across for tracks, but found nothing at all. It was a nice sunny afternoon, but the wind was strong and cold at the peak, so my forays out of the truck were brief. The daylight is now lasting a little longer, so twilight came at about 5, and I headed home for supper. I finally got my computer to talk to my new phone, so I did get a few pics to show for the day.1 point

I managed 2 more trips into the woods over the last 3 weeks. The first was on Dec.17th, to a sighting location that Thomas, Alohacop, and I had investigated about 3 years ago. At that time, all we found were some track imprints on the softer gravel along the edge of the downhill side of the road, but they were badly weathered due to several days of heavy rains, so not worth casting. There was an old roadbed trail leading downhill from there, but not driveable, so I only walked about a km down it, without finding any sign at all. On my latest visit on the 17th, I found that the old road had been reactivated for some logging on the hillside between the main FSR and the lakeshore, about 4 km below. The new logging show ended about 2km down the hill, and the route reverted to the older, much rougher roadbed, badly rutted by flowing water over the years, which slowed me to a low range crawl in the H3. Another km down, I came to a Toyota 4Runner stuck on a short, slippery climb out of a creek crossing. The young and new to 4 wheeling driver had spun out trying to climb the slick hill, and slid backwards into the left hand bank of the narrow cut through the creek bank. Now he couldn't go forward or backward, and he and his lady were standing in front of the truck trying to figure out how to get out of there. I introduced myself, and then had a good look at his situation. I couldn't get past him to pull him forward, so I suggested that we rig a tow strap to the rear corner of his truck that was jammed into the bank and to the front of my H3 so that I could pull him sideways allowing him to then back down into the solid gravel of the creek, where we could both turn around and drive out He had his own strap, so I let him rig it, then gave a slow low range pull to straighten him up, and they were free. Since it was now dusk, we both decided to call it a day and drive out. I saw nothing of interest on the way in or out. The second outing was today, Boxing Day, Dec 26th. My oldest son had asked to join me for a trip over the holidays, and we asked a mutual friend, Mike, who isn't a 4 wheeler, to come along. We chose to explore a ridge between a river valley and a good size lake. I had only checked out a few of the lower trails in this area in the past, so this time we chose to find one that climbed higher along the ridgeline. We found what we were looking for, and were rewarded with some great views over both the Fraser Valley and the Chilliwack River Valley. we turned around when we got to the snowline, as I wasn't in the mood for mounting chains, which would be needed due to the very narrow trail with near vertical drop off on the downhill side. Once again, no tracks or scat was found, but we all got some great photos of the valleys below, including a section of the Chilliwack River covered in low cloud for several km. Mike was blown away with the views, and is already talking about trading his 2wd F150 for a 4x4. !! I'm having trouble downloading photos to this site right now; I'll try again later. Here's a link to a video that Mike shot: https://fb.watch/pc5tBryXh-/1 point

I have been compiling quite the Sasquatch library lately, and have started writing reviews on the books to share with others! This is my first one👣📄📚 Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science Written By: Dr Jeffrey Meldrum of Idaho State University where he is a professor of both Anatomy and Anthropology, and an expert on foot morphology and evolutionary bipedalism. In his book, which is a companion piece to the documentary of the same name, Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum beautifully lays out the extensive amount of research, studies, encounters, and physical evidence (foot prints, PG film), and more that has been amassed by many people over centuries, worldwide in this (in my opinion) groundbreaking book! The purpose, and importance of this book to me is the fact that Dr. Meldrum isn’t trying to CONVINCE you to believe in Sasquatch, but he is simply presenting the case, from a scientific aspect of why the subject of Bigfoot/Sasquatch needs to be taken seriously by the scientific community, and properly studied and researched no differently than we do any other primate or hominid species (whether discovered OR undiscovered). The footprint evidence is Dr. Meldrum’s main arguement in terms of best evidence currently available, as from studying the morphology of the prints, specifically in regards to the midtarsal break (show movement with hand) can reveal a great deal about the hominid that left the print/prints. Early on in the book, he touches upon the “established formula” of research methods for zoologists, biologists, anthropologists etc. discovering new species. That formula is basically an ears to the ground approach. Typically starting with murmurings, or rumours being discussed amongst a group of people about a creature or animal that doesn’t seem to match anything known to the scientific world. Dr. Meldrum then explains the importance of listening to, and learning from the local indigenous communities, in order to gain knowledge and understanding of the local surroundings, wildlife, terrain and culture, before embarking on HANDS ON research. If this is how so many species have come to be discovered and consequently documented and classified, why are we NOT doing this in respect to the Sasquatch, where we have an absolute abundance of cultural knowledge, physical evidence, thousands of eye witness accounts over centuries that can be linked by ‘trademark’ physical or behavioural tendencies. The book explains that, “During the past century, over two hundred additional species of primate have been discovered. In the Neotropics alone, twenty-four new species have been described since 1990, and at least ten more await formal description”. This right here helps debunk those that claim such a creature would HAVE to have been ‘discovered’ by now, in my opinion! This book is written and laid out in such a manner that anyone who is interested in the topic (scientifically or not) can read this book and they’ll understand it! Dr. Meldrum includes many photos, charts, diagrams etc along the way to help explain what he is speaking about, which is incredibly helpful! Dr. Meldrum to this day encourages the collaboration of the scientific community, and the Bigfoot community (regardless of educational background). I think this is so commendable and important, because right now, from a strictly scientific aspect, it’s those weekend warriors, and field researchers that are out there putting in SO much time and effort into finding hard, physical evidence that will hopefully lead to definitive proof for the scientists to then work with and establish what a Sasquatch is. This book in my opinion is the perfect introduction into the whole subject matter of Sasquatch/Bigfoot, and an excellent reference to frequently return to for those already well into studying or researching this subject! I would consider it a “Bible of Bigfoot,” and should be a part of any Bigfoot enthusiasts library! So does Sasquatch exist?! As the back cover states, “Consider the evidence, and decide for yourself!” A solid 👣👣👣👣👣/10!1 point
