I’m not so sure Bigfoot is concerned about it’s hairdo. But maybe Indians copied the Bigfoot “look”?

I'm always looking for a better pack. Never quite finding what I hope to find. For day packs I like a lot of organization, something with many pockets so I know where each thing is. Also so things like my audio recorders can run without accidentally the off button. Though heavy, some of the tactical packs are pretty decent. I've used 511 Tactical's Rush12 and Rush24 packs. My only beef with them is lack of a waist belt. Add 3L of water and by end of day your shoulders will be talking to you. There are attachment points for a belt, you could cobble something together, but I haven't had a lot of luck so far. Another I've used some is the Eberlestock H3 "Sawed Off". It's a good hydration pack with some extra storage. It has a little bit of very good organization, just doesn't go far enough. It has a waist belt but it rides very high on me so it stabilizes the load but does not carry weight. There are a couple other packs I like ... Kelty Redwing 32 and The North Face Terra 35. The Kelty has fair organization but isn't quite long enough, max torso length is 18.5 inches. The Terra 35 hauls a load of water, etc very well but doesn't have much organization. I've used both when I was doing a lot of trail cam work. One of my favorite packs for just wandering around .. not packing trail cams or the like, just a bit of water, a jacket, and a small camera, is Badlands "Pursuit". No waist band, but in the days I was using it, I was not carrying enough weight to matter. None of these is waterproof. I've either used a pack cover or put the pack contents in small trash bags to keep them dry. The waterproof packs I've looked at seem like they'd make you sweat and not ventilate thus defeating the intended purpose. MIB

The Timber lobby likely wouldn't mind. MK Davis on the other hand mind up massacre nonsense out of his own mental bowels.

A better picture may be that whatever Sasquatch is, or was, it's entirely possible that it came from older and deeper in the line that produced Zana. In other words, the line that led to the Almasty? In reading Zana's preferences for sleeping accomodations as well as other physical abilities and attributes she possessed I could see her "species" surviving the ancient trek. Especially if they were pursued East for decades if not centuries by Homo Sapiens once the line arrived into Northern Asia? They didn't necessarily need to be vegetarian either and may even have started out being a bit smaller in size.

I discount it because of the unlikely odds that a more vegetarian and tropic dwelling primate would up and migrate out of a specialized environment without a catalyst, let along then survive a long trek through much colder terrain without, freezing or starving or being out competed by animals better suited to environment if not preyed upon. Giganto in SE Asia accounting for a North American Mystery Primate is like cutting off a segment of a jigsaw puzzle piece to force to fit rather than having the correct piece in the first place.

My area is in a natural corridor for traveling around in this part of the woods, and as the pools and creeks dry up, it's even more predictable, with only a few places still holding water. I had one very close daylight sighting in this area a few years back, and I wouldn't have ever noticed it if Lulu the wolf hadn't found it crouching down near me. I had seen 3 others over the years starting when I was 5......but what I saw out here totally blew me away. It was 7+ feet, very skinny, lean like a basketball player, light brown hair and not too thick.......totally different from the classic Sasquatch, must be a Southern Race, and are what I now call 'The Locals', they stay year around in this area. The bigger heavier black ones will start showing up in the Fall. Here's an old pic, and looks VERY much like what I saw out here.

Federal law Hunster, the Endangered Species Act....a much different, umm, animal, although it quite possibly could be a felony. While the penalties for a violation under the assorted and various state Bigfoot laws are assumed to vary widely (and I've not looked into that in detail...just a safe prediction) under the classification of the offense these are all, as far as I know, GAME laws. The point being debated here, as I understood it, is whether the killing of a BF is prosecutable as a homicide, predicted to result in a conviction for anything from manslaughter up to murder. "Not a snowball's chance" is where I stand on that point, and have not heard any cogent argument to the contrary. I would include in that prediction of unlikely outcomes all violent crimes in the nature of assault, attempted murder, reckless endangerment....the list is long. I would be glad to reconsider that opinion if such were to be advanced. But, if we give presumptive human status to a Sasquatch it opens the door to ridiculous outcomes. I mean, can we have a guardian ad litem appointed on a showing of incompetency so as to bring a civil action by the Biggie for slander, civil rights violations, access to Section 8 Housing and SNAP benefits? You see where this lead us?

To me, Bigfoot is a hominin species, a member of genus homo, with speech ability. A great ape like us and others but a brute in human form.

Flesh and blood, with a little something else mixed in. I don't know what that something else is, just got the feeling there is more to it than what meets the eye.

Flesh and blood primate. Like us, one of the great apes.

Exactly this /\ The trackway I came across 40 odd years ago was all alone along the old logging road, nothing else had made any tracks there. When I went back with John Green the next day, the only additional tracks were my own, paralleling the large tracks for the first 20 yards into the snow; the rest of the tracks continued up the road for as far as we could see, probably 400 yards till they disappeared around a curve in the slight uphill grade. Who the heck would fake that, not knowing if anyone would see them before all the snow melted?

Pretty dry out here, but still a few moist spots where parts of the creek are still holding water, and creating a little traffic.....nice pick of Lulu, her coat really blends in, easier to see lil Rusty.

Read the news. We've got legions of greenies and liberal politicians wailing about "climate change"..........which is exactly what would cause the Beringia land bridge to appear and disappear. And it doesn't happen overnight. A gigantopithicus doesn't get up from his nest in northern China, start walking, and doesn't stop until he's in Puget Sound, either. It could take centuries or millenia for a species to expand its range intercontinentally.
