^^^ This is a great example of how to violate enough rules in one post to get you banned. Goodbye FarArcher.

^ That’s a great way to get shot.^

FarArcher has a long rapsheet of rule violations, this one was the last straw.

Sorry, but that's just another unsubstantiated story. You're dismissin' legitimate questions that even you don't KNOW. Belief is not BS. Belief is a powerful thing...belief has been the catalyst for a great many things. Without evidence...you've nothin' to suggest you're claimed sightin' wasn't in your heads...a mental condition perhaps. Uh "..questions that can't be answered." in your opinion. Like them...unlike them...can't mentally accept things for what they actually are...you don't know either. An as for comparison with humans etc bein' crap...you don't know crap about what your talkin' about. These are legitimate questions based on a known primates. That's science, like it or not. Hate ta burst your bubble, but many of us don't consider them human, but more apelike. Even a apes needs out in the wild are similar to humans, but you don't seem to get that. Wrong, a mammal of know size in a known climate requires a certain amount of calories, it may be speculation, but it is based on known science. You do not make it work, you merely endure. An you know for a fact, if you did as you claimed, you don't adapt, you don't get by, you don't make it work...because what you describe is temporary, try it for much longer an your body an organs will begin to shut down. You will not survive. Your use of "we" suggestin' you should have corroboration to support you claimed sightin', would that be correct. Or are we left to believe...cause we know how ya feel about belief. You've dismissed folks questions while providin' absolutely squat...I'm goin' ta leave it at that.

Hey Pat, something has happened a couple of time recently with your posts. There is an enormous amount of white space at the end. Are you aware of that? I don't know why or how it is being generated but thought you should know? Don't if maybe it is something that's going on in the Forum's program or not. No one else's posts seem to have the issue.

^^ I'd agree, he had some interesting point for sure but his delivery and 1% of the 1% mantra grew tiresome a while back.

It was only a matter of time and sufficient rope.

Fantastic country to hike in, MindSquatch. My region is coastal rainforest, and the brush is so thick that a few hundred yards off-trail can take an hour or two. That's why I drive several hours to the eastern slopes to get in the rainshadow, and country more like yours, whenever I get the chance. Oddly enough, though, there are far more sightings on the wet western slopes than on the eastern side of the local mountain ranges.

Wow. I am amazed at such angry ramblings. I really hope he gets the help and support he obviously needs. Great job Pat at pointing out the flaws in his obviously misguided ramblings. Gigantor you are doing a fabulous job in your new role. Although I feel bad for him. Your decision is the right call.

James33, I noticed you somehow forgot to include this part of my post in your reply. You have good ideas for 'others' but what about yourself? You do seem to have enough interest to at least stay with this but is there any action that you yourself might think about taking? There are people here who are in the field. They manage trail cameras, they go out and look for sign, and some have been at it for some time. There are hunters here scouring Mount Saint Helens, Mount Hood, flying over remote areas, doing follow ups on suspected nesting sights, enduring insects, snakes and other pests in Oklahoma. Some have bushwhacked in Maine (me) along with a few others. I mean folks get out there. Sure luck would play a roll as it has in the past but one doesn't have a chance to get lucky if one isn't out there. You know, the ol' if-a-tree-falls-in-the-woods thing. I encourage people to be a part of the solution and take action. I push myself in directions that I hope will pan out as a means to certain goals in order to continue the search and the research. I have always though that the early Spring was a perfect time to look for a dead Sasquatch or skeleton of one that didn't make it through the winter for whatever reason- injury, old age or some other cause. After Springtime nature will do what it does and the body will disappear into scavengers, maggots, the weather, the acid soils, get hidden in foliage, waste away in the heat and humidity, get covered with leaves and debris in the fall, and all manner of other natural processes. And there is a lot more that goes on besides that. Forest fires, drought, flooding, hunting seasons, snowmobiles, ATV's, resource harvestings and a few dozen other activities that keep animals on the move. Reading the room of Nature so to speak can help a researcher formulate a plan if they keep aware of what is going on locally and know the terrain they do their research in. There's a bit more to this than meets the eye. That all takes quit a bit of funding as well as time to coordinate. Do you have any of either one to spare? I sure don't but I am doing what I can to move things ahead the best I know how. I think other members here are doing the same. Just look at the photos of places that people have gone and go to. You could do that too, and come back and let us know how you made out

It's about 5.5 feet......there were some probable Raccoons that were knocking the PB jars out of the basket occasionally, so added the enclosed box with a latch on the door......the BF's seemed to have no issues with the latch. 1st pic was set up on 4/7/18, and how I found it the next day, this same thing has happened 6 times total, until I hid the audio recorder & they became angry, along with several more PB jars when it was just the basket. Yeah the Coyote skull in the basket was twisted humor, but they took it.

If it's going to be in February they may need to publish the date soon. I was there in 2018 and it was a good time. Chairs got uncomfortable...
