Some years back the Anchorage Daiky News outdoor writer and editor published a story on what kills people in the outdoors in Alaska, which has been known as the Land of the Lost (which is another incredible story). By far, the #1 killer was drowning. Then come exposure, falls, and ATVs wrecks. Airplane crashes come in high here in Alaska. Even the airplane itself disappears. Animal attack is actually way down on the list, but one of the reasons I love Alaska is that we have no snakes. And the number of ways one can drown is pretty impressive, too. I remember a close brush with death in November if 2012, and when I realized in my mind that I wasn’t going to make it, my mind shifted into a state of wonder and surprise that I was going to die by drowning, which as such a lifelong strong swimmer, I’d never strongly considered. And, of course once dead and washed up, nature’s cleanup crew goes to work; the scavengers. It is incredibly easy to die in the wilderness. http://articles.latimes.com/2005/feb/15/nation/na-vanished15 https://curiosity.com/topics/thousands-of-people-have-mysteriously-disappeared-in-alaskas-bermuda-triangle-curiosity/ https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/04/in-the-land-of-missing-persons/471477/ https://www.adn.com/outdoors-adventure/2018/06/04/afraid-of-bears-there-are-far-more-dangerous-things-in-the-alaska-outdoors/ When I was young, I didn’t much fear being lost forever. Being swallowed up by God’s Creation seemed natural. But after nearly disappearing off the face of the Earth myself, I’ve come very much to want to be present in physical form for my own funeral. I guess it’s all part of being face to face with reality before truly realizing its fullness.

Bob Gymlan does do an excellent job at connecting the dots by compare and contrast with the gorilla and it’s subsequent discovery in 1847. he does act like it’s just some giant bipedal ape that has yet to be verified and he does compare and contrast with Elkanah Walker mentioning how the local natives would talk about an unhinged Sasquatch type creature in 1841 and gymlan compares it to the gorillas discovery six years later on the other side of the planet. My only problem is that he overlooks the possible .gov cover up aspect. nothing I say is new but I personally believe there’s a cover up for a few reasons with the primary reason being that a disclosure of Sasquatch to the general public would up Pandora’s box for .gov secondary reasons for a cover up could be economic reasons involving the timber and lumber industry as well tourism. Another secondary could be a sizable amount of them do abduct people as a good source when some of them are emaciated or they could abduct people for unknown reasons. Another secondary reason is that if they were publicly acknowledged a lot of hunters would converge on the forests and the woods to kill them and the Sasquatches could associate all human activity as a threat. none of those reasons or opinions are my own. Just saying though. Our population density and modern technology would suggest that if it is a real flesh and blood creature it would have been discovered by now. I know the conspiracies sound circular btw. the majority of knowers claim it’s a flesh and blood creature. (their hair is matted and dirty/muddy, they throw rocks and branch’s, make vocalizations, dig through trash cans etc.) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9RCTmgcD5mg

What next? Dogs and cats living together? Have immensely enjoyed the last several submissions from posters I respect.

Merry Christmas to you and you loved ones, I enjoy our conversations. I really appreciate you educating me on all things Bigfoot. This uninformed lowly Phd chemist really appreciates it.

P-G .. absolutely! There is much evidence I wish I could have been present when it was collected to learn what was missed. There are many experience I've had I wish I could truly review by going through them again to see what I missed. Maybe I'd have different explanations entirely, or maybe more detailed. I can't, though, it just is what it is and all I can do is make the best of it. Merry Christmas. I've enjoyed our discussions immensely! MIB
