I don't know the date, and you must understand my mindset when this occurred. I was NOT happy to realize there was something I never accounted for sharing the same mountain, as I was going to be there for several weeks longer. I was already aware of black bears - not much of a concern - and there were big cats - something I was always aware of. But this threw the entire equation out of kilter. It wasn't a matter of being followed - we were just a few short switchbacks lower - living there. Suddenly, some of the previous odd sounds and movements right outside my tent all hours of the night started to make sense - and not for the better. Oh, on occasion, they'd throw pebbles at the tent, but previously, I thought it was one of the other guys pulling pranks, although they swore it was too cold to be screwing around all hours of the night, and they though I was pulling pranks on them. That first meeting was what in the military we'd call a "meeting engagement," but without the shooting. I was bent down behind some equipment looking at samples, and when I started back to the opposite end of the switchback - I started getting aggressively growled at by what I assumed was a big cat - but one that was sick, injured, or rabid. I just concentrated on carefully working my way past this small, tight cluster of trees on the edge of the cut it was coming from. Only by checking behind me did I see one running at me. Now I spun to meet this threat - and adapted the same tactic I already decided to use against the cat if he came at me - rely on one, single shot in the mouth as we merged. Already decided that would be my one and only chance with just a 1911 on me. He veered and missed me be twenty to thirty feet and disappeared into that small cluster of trees. Then it went quiet - no more growling. That was my signal to back up even faster and fog it out of there. Only when it went quiet did I realize it was another one of these critters growling at me from the cluster, and not a cat. Maybe I didn't get jammed into a five gallon bucket as I faced him and gave him more or less, my full attention, as I still had to keep the corner of my eye on the cluster where the growling was still coming from. I didn't run, I stood my ground, and I shifted my position at the waist as he approached and then ran past me. I didn't start shooting out of fear, forcing the matter. Who knows? If I hadn't turned around and seen him - ???? Now had I started shooting - for a fact I would have hit him - without effect - and I'm confident the outcome would have been much different. I firmly believe that if you drop one, or seriously wound one, you just declared war - especially at twilight, when they'll have the advantage for the rest of the night - and they know it. Most think these things are animals. Not me. Not human, but not dumb animals, and I'd guess, based on scores of narratives and hundreds of site examinations, that they definitely have the capacity for revenge - and do in fact engage in the practice.

Bigfoot mythos 1) no matter what, BF does not exist 2) all evidence isn't 3) a lack of photos over any arbitrary length of time is proof of non-existence. 4) the PGF is an elaborate hoax and Patty is a bloke inna suit. 5) humans see everything everywhere. I'm probably missing a few but this is a good start.

I'd like for Incorrigible to agree to the proposal. He could be famous. A real opportunity to be the first man to be recorded on video being taken apart by an unidentified species that doesn't exist, accompanied by a horrifying sound track of quality digital audio. Because when we drop one, and likely another, their bloodlust for revenge will be epic, and every scream will be money in the bank. Since I'm just lying about these things - he'd have nothing to worry about.

Over time there have been many more clips accumulated by some people involved but those aren't necessarily a part of the "Erickson Project" at all, it is still very much so alive and there is talk of just pushing it all out to the public out of frustration. They are running into the hard fact that video is worthless, the better it is the better the supposed hoax is the conclusion people jump to. Add onto that the problems that alot of the Bigfoot just look like a overgrown chewbacca in the first place and that people suck at analyzing things in general and you realize the whole thing isn't really going to amount to much at all even if it does get dumped out. I have realized a odd point in the Bigfoot phenomena, there are tons of video of the Bigfoot floating around or being held in private, tons of evidence that just doesn't "go viral". God only knows how much of it is just floating around within the billions of videos on the net already. Skeptics ask why the Sasquatch are so rarely seen, why they aren't shot more often, why there aren't videos or pictures, and why there aren't hardly ever any other sorts of evidence popping up and the real answer is that it is all there actually, tons of it even. They get shot, evidence gets collected very regularly, they pop up on videos, and they get seen and heard all the time, people just aren't looking in the right places/recognizing what they see or even looking hard enough for the info.
