Today... Classified Entry #6000 is done. In honor of this milestone, I have decide to add my own encounter from May of this year into the database. I gave it SSR ID #6000. The sighting that WAS #6000 was moved to another SSR #. My report was submitted and investigated by BFRO in July, but is not published by them. I decided I do not need to wait for them any longer. IF BFRO publishes, then this report will get it's own thread. I briefly discussed it in the paranormal section of this forum, not because it was paranormal, but because that's where I was asked about it. That is the link I used for the SSR entry. An 11 foot stick was used to determine height during the investigation, but I have found a flaw with what we did. I still question the height and have plans when weather allows to get back in there with a pole that will tell me exactly how tall it was. I only saw an arm swinging away. The NA guy who was with me saw it's whole upper body and face, but BFRO did not talk to him. Some day I will get and share his 'official' version of the encounter. I also caught possible vocalization audio from very near this spot the following morning. Here is a link to my first descriptions on the forum: https://bigfootforums.com/topic/59746 Here is the post where I explain why I think it's over 9 feet tall: https://bigfootforums.com/topic/59746 SSRID: 6000 Report Score: 7 Sighting Date: 05/25/2018 Sighting Time: 13:30 Moonphase: Duration (mm:ss): 00:01 Season: 1 - Spring (Mar 20 - Jun 19) State: NE County: Thurston Latitude: 42.158357 Longitude: -96.344494 Altitude: 1060.00 ft BFRO Class: A - Class A Sighting Type: S - Single Creature Witness: 2 - Multiple, no evidence Witness Activity: B - BFing Witness Gender: Male Witness Age: Witness Feeling: 1 - Excited Witness Occupation: Electronics Engineer Terrain: F - Forest Zoning: P - Park Land / Refuge Photo Evidence: N - None Footprint Evidence: N - None Footprint Length: 0 - 0" Stride Length: 0 ft 0 in Height (ft): 9 Height (in): 6 Hair/fur Color: N - Brown Skin: U - Unknown Organization: Rez Squatching Research Researcher: TK Bell Confidence: Complete Report URL: https://bigfootforums.com/topic/59746-a-question-for-those-who-have-had-telepathic-interactions-with-sasquatch-3/?do=findComment&comment=1013597 Biological Evidence Animal Activity Animal Disposition Animal Locomotion W - Walking Weather S - Sunny / Clear C - Clear Skies Other

I also do most of my work solo although I prefer having another person to share the experience with. Being alone in the backcountry, particularly at night, is something many people are not comfortable with. If you are not, you need to trust your instincts, and bring someone else, or learn to develop the confidence being alone one step at a time. Are there risks? Of course there are but with experience you can begin to manage those risks. Have a firearm, learn survival skills, have an exit plan, have backup resources for fire, water, and shelter, study normal night sounds in your geographic region so you know what to expect, take advantage of technology, bring something (PLB, satellite messenger) that can be used to call in the cavalry in the event of an emergency, etc. I've always believed that being out there alone will provide the greatest opportunity for an encounter as a sasquatch will feel the most at ease. I'll settle for catching a glimpse but I want that sighting, or encounter, and will gladly put myself out on a high wire to get it. If that means an interaction with an aggressive sasquatch, so be it.

Then I also disagree with him on that . Having hunted and tracked plenty of whitetail through snow , it's impossible to fake a long track way through snow without leaving your own tracks next to it. If there is a way I would like to hear how? I guess if trees were close by to each other and a person was determined then I could see a way but even then you would see all the disturbed snow that had fallen off the branches .

I personally stay out of California State Parks as your not allowed to protect yourself unless you're a ranger who is allowed to have a gun, but you are not. Seems hikers who stick to the main trails such as the PCT don't seem to have much issues with Bigfoot's. Going off trail where the Bigfoot's aren't used to seeing people coming into their area may bring about some night time and daytime agressive behavior. I've read so many reports from the Sierra's where the Bigfoot's seem to be pissed off at hikers, trail crews, campers and hunters. The Bigfoot's have a strange mindset which make them unpredictable, and it doesn't seem to matter if you're by yourself or with others. I remember a report from the Western Sierra's just north of Yosemite where a father and son went deer hunting together some years ago. The son went up a mountain side as the father stayed in camp watching his son make his way up and noticed a Bigfoot stalking his son following him from the side (the trees were short due to pass logging). His son had no idea he was being followed. Not sure what came of it as I can't seem to find that report anywhere. Not sure if the father fired a shot into the air or what. But that can't be good if a Bigfoot is stalking you when out by yourself. But the odds of something happening is low, but there's always that chance. You'll feel better if you have a couple of people with you deep in the spooky mountains camping at night.

This question comes close to home to me. Here in Alaska, the standard advice is not to go out in the wilderness alone for any purpose. Highly experienced outdoorsmen often ignore that advice, but they also regularly have close calls or die, too. Mrs. Huntster used to be adamant that I had companions with me when hunting, fishing, and exploring, but starting in 2001, things started happening, and it was always me getting hurt, and always my partners doing the stupid stuff that got me hurt. I got shot in the head. I got set on fire. They shot the first game animal that showed up, and suddenly needed to go home. Their rigs broke down, and I had to drag their shit out. I was always the cook and dishwasher. Finally, my last 800 mile riverboat moose hunt was the final straw. It was one disasterous cluster-bang after the next for two weeks. Ever since then I go alone. If I’m going to die out there, so be it; it won’t be my “buddy” killing me, using me, getting me to buy their fuel because they “forgot their money”, etc. And, suddenly, I started enjoying myself again!
