Seems like an assumption about Joe. Looks like he stated the facts of the situation. Unless there's more mentioned in his book. The government withholds information from us all the time. Whether I would consider it a conspiracy or not, who knows. Seems like business as usual to me.

Sounds like a fun cruise if you're in Portland Oregon... http://bigfootcruise.com/

So I am not sure if one would consider this "low end", but it was fairly inexpensive (around $275 for all) the pieces sure seem to work well together for me. I may want to get another microphone for the recorder (if you have suggestions, let me know). Here's what I just picked up. Yi 4k action cam Nice clear video, similar in size and functions (that I need) to the GoPro, only costing much less at around $99. The iSteady Pro motorized gimbal Really smooth, simple interface, and can even charge the above camera on the fly. Cost around $99. The Tascam DR-05 digital audio recorder Pretty easy to use, lightweight, and records for a long time from 2 AA batteries onto a micro SD card. Cost around $77. Great not just for vocalizations, but recording little spoken field notes such as temperature, humidity, other animals seen or not seen, terrain type, moon phase, what have you. Looking forward to this spring / summer. These little expeditions are going to be fun! Hopefully I can get some more evidence.

PM me if you want to know about the USGS, I am 20 years in.
