True, but that might be primarily because of the military role they expected the apes to play. Dogs have been weaponized since before recorded human history and they remain in use for multiple roles. We’ve used chimps as human-like guinea pigs in the space race and other scientific experiments. Dolphins are in use currently in several naval roles. Frankly, I don’t see a role for apes or sasquatches that humans can’t do better primarily due to reliability. Dogs and dolphins want to please. Even humans are iffy on that account. Mature apes and sasquatches would as soon blow you off as a bear would, especially males. Even R&R time with the local women doesn’t seem to improve their attitudes and cooperation. They’re like our own Incorrigible1: completely incorrigible..........especially with the local women..........

I didn’t google up Reel #2, and am just going off memory, so I could also be mistaken. But if it was that straight line pattern with the ridiculously long stride, that strengthens both the Patterson event itself as well as other trackways like it, because the Patterson trackway is supported by both video of the creature putting it there as well as multiple independent people confirming that it was there including the very (and conspicuously quiet) Lyle Laverty, who photographed a print (which famously made it into the public sphere without so much as a single public peep by the photographer, the only government official involved).

After further review, I could be mistaken. I was thinking about short, very precise straight steps like walking a gymnastic balance beam where you have to really bring one foot around the other. The BF strides are so far apart that you really do not have to do much with your steps to get a trackway that is approximately straight.

I would love to do that ride, but not at night. That vertical drop at ape canyon is positively ridiculous. I would love to know how exactly the miners got to the cabin. I know they had to use ropes to descend but I have a hard time believing they descended from the top. BTW, the narrator was a little off when he said something like, : I don't understand how a BF could not figure out how to break in to a cabin full of drunk miners". I guess he did not know they were a bunch of ARMED, very hard men.

I found this video.

Documentaries usually include reenactments which are subject to the whims of the director. More for entertainment than actual fact.

Common misconception.

Hello my dear friends at the BFF.......I am back after my hiatus, been doing plenty of BF research, and a lot of hopefully cool stuff to share.......stay tuned, I need to go through the thread, and try to pick up where I left off:) Hope to hear from all my buddies here, drop me an email or post, let me know how you are, and what you have been up to.

I’d buy a premium membership here at the BFF and hope to at least double the amount of time I spend drinking beer in the woods.
