I'll have a guess. In the year or so that you've been interested in the subject, you've come to the conclusion that they don't exist for a number of reasons that are logical to you and enjoy the feeling of being superior to other members who do "believe/know" because you know best, hence the "knowing wink"emoticon which suggests that something is a joke or a secret ?

It's not plausible to attribute a good knock to a mouth popping sound. The volume is just not there. Most of the interesting knocks may not have been made by a BF, but I'm sure they weren't made by a cheek popping sound. Its just not loud enough.

There's a tonne of human activity that can be attributed to these "knocks" etc that we assume is being done by Sasquatch. Took a friend to the airport the other day and was talking about Madagascar where he sometimes spends time off the boats, he said that the locals had a kind of unwritten language that they use that involves pops and clicks of their mouths that he couldn't believe how much noise was actually generated from it. I'd bet my bottom dollar that these "knocks" we hear aren't just wood on wood, and come from all sorts of actions like clasps and pops done physically by Sasquatches.

I managed to get out yesterday (Sat.) as well. None of my local guys were available to go, but my wife surprised me by saying "yes" when I asked her to come along. It's no easy task for her, as she's currently wheelchair bound by severe arthritis, but she put up with about 5 hours on the rough Chehalis Lake logging road, where we went 35 km (about 22 mi) in to the Skwellipel Creek Forest Service campsite, near the decade old rockslide that created a huge tsunami on the lake. We had a nice lakeshore lunch break before heading back out. One of the branch roads that heads west from the Chehalis main towards the area where I had my sighting nearly 40 years ago, was gated with a very large and sturdy looking steel gate, so I couldn't explore up there, which I had hoped to do on this trip. We saw no interesting tracks, and zero wildlife bigger than squirrels and chipmunks, but it was a great day to be out in the woods.

Here is the SONY PCM-M10 with EM-172 stereo mics. I took a Ziploc medium round plastic container ($3 for 2) and drilled two holes in the lid. Then I camo'd the entire container and affixed a paracord loop to the top and to the side to provide more options for attachment to a tree. Credit for the paracord loop goes to Redbone. Great thinking and thanks Pal. The paracord loop is an infinitely better design as it allows me to use paracord, rather than tape, to attach it to a tree. That means that even in the rain I can setup the voice recorder to the tree. I will tie a tautline hitch to each loop and then be able to cinch the container down to both the tree trunk and branch thus keeping it from swaying in the wind. I've played with clipping the mics to the bottom versus not. Clipping probably makes the most sense and the mics will still be protected from the rain unless it is going sideways. I tried two different camo tape. Get the Gorilla brand tape. It is much stickier and holds better.
