I have the FLIR H-Series 324 Command with a 16gb sd card. I can record at least 2 full nights with the help of a fully charged spare car battery, an inverter, extension cord, wall charger, and turn the FLIR's standby switch to the off position. Then I mount the FLIR on a tripod either in a blind, tent, or in the back of the truck with an open window. I also setup two or three trail cams to cover the other sides the FLIR can't see.

It’s starting to seem to me that the supposed evidence we have is not enough to get the ball rolling any more than it already has. We can scream all day about a finger bone that lead to a discovery but we cannot even produce that in regards to a creature that supposedly inhabits most of North America currently. The biggest claim of evidence we have, sightings, are detrimental to our argument. We expect them to believe that BF is damn near everywhere yet leaves virtually no tangible, verifiable, repeatable evidence. That’s egg on our face as a community. I don’t want to hear about the secret evidence in private collections, the vids or pics that may exist etc. We do not produce the goods.

I carry a handgun HK USP 45 with hard cast +P ammo I also occasion will carry a S&W model 29 44 mag loaded with hard cast ammo.

It's all of the above including yes law suits . I don't know if they have proof or not but if they were to come out and say they have hidden the proof from the public all these years there will be class action law suits from anyone who has lost a loved one unexplained . Lawyers love these kinds of suits and there won't be a shortage of law firms that will participate . I guess what I'm saying is there is no up side for them to admit it , none what so ever

Yep. I just socked away another $60. Getting closer.

Sometimes our forests are incredibly dense and you can't see 10 feet into it. A FLIR would have been awesome when I was hearing steps in the forest behind an impenetrable screen of bushes snd bramble at the Meadow, and then my bigfooting buddy saw something duck into the woods. We could have busted it bigtime. Save up, NorthWind!

Colt 1911 with Hydrashoks or hardball, depending on my mood. Camping, I bring my AR and a Winchester 1300 with a side saddle that holds an extra 6, 000 Buckshot in addition to the 1911. I like my little .357 lever action carbine, too.

Hey JustCurious.....took a close look at the trail block yesterday from above, and that is certainly possible.......one of those 'perfect storms' for it all to line up naturally, but there was still something odd about it too. Much cooler temps and a bit of rain, very few spots holding water, so I visited several of those places yesterday. The series of pics is a track way in a marshy area, and there appeared to be several tracks of 2 individuals.....a few decent Juvie prints, and one nice what appeared to be a very young individual. I've seen a few babyfoot prints over the years, and they always seem to be at or near a water sources edge....like they were carried in and put down, check out the little toes in the baby print, pretty cool find

My approach exactly and I think others take the softer approach as well. And I never do a follow up or bring up a government-hiding-Bigfoot dialogue. It's all about respecting the person one is speaking with and their situation. Thank you for your thoughts and describing your more candid methods of communication. I have a friend who is a 30 yr. fly fishing guide. He has seen many bears and knew I was interested in Sasquatch so he related this story to me. He was towing a small trailer that he stays in when guiding, followed by another friend in a pick up truck. This was only about a month ago. He came over a rise in the road and saw up ahead about 100yds an animal in the road. He described it as dark, on all fours, and no ears. He said it definitely wasn't an ungulate but that it also wasn't a bear as he has seen many. He said it was taller and leaner than a bear and had legs that were longer and lankier than a bear's legs. He said as he approached it walked off into the brush to his left and he pulled over to see if he could see it. He couldn't but asked his friend if he saw it to which his friend said "yes" and agreed that it wasn't a bear of a deer/moose (no elk here). I asked him if he got out to see if there were any footprints between the road shoulder and the woods and he said he didn't think to do so. Being an experienced woodsman and guide he said he thought I should know. It's nice to have such a fairly recent a first person account from someone who I know personally. He still doesn't know what kind of animal it was and guides in that same general area almost exclusively. He still insists that it wasn't a bear and that whatever it was had no visible ears. I hope to be getting up that way sometime this month or the next to have a look around. I told him if something like that ever happens again- even when he's guiding, to call me right away. He said he would as long as his phone has service.

Nice Hiflier. Very clear, with details, and easy to see what you're dealing with. Thanks for sharing. I'm a huge proponent of thermal imagers. Even in daylight, the forest where I go is thick and it seems to be eternal darkness, All the more reason to have a thermal even in day light where a sasquatch, bear, or whatever is out there may be camouflaged behind bushes. The thermal may pickup heat coming from between leaves or branches letting you know something is there.
