I finally established contact with Carpenter via Youtube. I told him all I know about how to see infrasound on a recording. Will see if he wants to cooperate. His recording was on a digital movie camera so depending on its microphones it may or may not have recorded it. He says there is a crackling on the sound track so that sound hopeful. The only thing I can hear on my H2 recorder was the contents of my pack buzzing like a cell phone buzzer. But the graphics trace with Sonic Visualizer shows the infrasound pressure waves if you expand the trace. It would not take much to make a low tech mechanical device that would convert infrasound into a audible sound we can hear. Something as simple as a can with a few BB's in it might work like whatever in my pack was vibrating. I decided some time ago to share everything I know. I nearly died two years ago in January of pneumonia. I spent one night awake because if I fell asleep I would stop breathing. Would be a shame to lose what I do know. Too bad some others are not doing the same thing. Progress in bigfoot research would go a lot faster.

My theory on why my H2 recorded it is that it detects pressure waves like a wind gust. It comes with a foam filter that fits over the microphones to reduce wind noise. So while it would not detect a sinusoidal infrasound it detects and records the pressure wave fronts. The low frequencies also have long wave lengths in comparison to audible sound. So each passing pressure wave drives the recorder circuitry just like a gust of wind or a distant gunshot would. . As long as the the pressure wave form is recognizable as that, the recorder does its thing recording it. People here have argued with me about the specs of the recorder but my answer to that is that my recorder will record a gunshot. A gunshot is a single pressure wave. If I shoot a gun off once a second my recorder will record that. That is 1 HZ. So if it is capable of that, it is capable of 5 HZ or 15 HZ which are infrasound frequencies. I recognize that what a BF can produce is not as strong as a gunshot, and the wave graphic wave forms I recorded are representative of that. They are barely above the background noise level in the recording. That is an excellent example. I will run my recorder and record that and I can measure that with Sonic Visualizer. It does produce a sound you can feel in your body. The movie theatre sound systems can produce that too. Vibrate your gut. Sonic Visualizer is a shareware product of St Maries College in London England. Go to sonicvisualizer.org and you can download it for free. I just updated mine to a new version a few minutes ago.

Hiflier is correct in that I was talking about modern humans. The presence of any humans (modern or ancestral) in North America prior to 26,000 years ago is remarkable. I attended a University of Oregon professor lecturer about a cave in South Central Oregon. He has dated human presence in the cave back to 14,500 years ago and some evidence exists of habitation in the cave over 20,000 years ago. That puts any migration into a time frame where a Bering crossing would not be thought possible. His theory is that early humans had to arrive by boat because of the ice age glaciation. You can see the reason for this if you take an Alaskan cruise, and see how the glaciers running into the Pacific are a formidable barrier to North to South land travel. That is even more plausible because there is considerable hard evidence that the Japanese traveled to Aleutian Islands to get obsidian to make arrowheads. Each volcano produces obsidian with unique chemical properties only found in that volcano. So testing of Japanese obsidian point, found arrow points dated back to 26,000 years ago were found to have been collected in the Aleutian Islands and transported back to Japan. Island hopping makes the trip to mainland North America very doable. The Kennewick man find in Washington State was someone who seemed to have originated in NE Asia in that he had Japanese morphology. . That find started the backward slide of the timeline of human arrival into North America. Who knows how far back that slide in time will go.

It's clearly Gollum from "The Lord of the Rings"! Also, my opinion, but if there's been more sasquatch talk lately with several shows and whatnot, the best way to continue to discredit the whole idea is to focus in on the woo factor. Most folks laugh at the oddities. I suppose that's a bit of conspiracy theory, but so be it. If you follow the money, the money doesn't benefit from acknowledgement of the species.

I like Les Stroud, but I hope we don't see too much coming of an organization lead by a big draw like him with Melba Ketchum types working behind the curtains. They have money and are committed enough to the search to become publicly prevalent, but in my opinion, they're just asking to hit dead ends and hurt the community if they're going to operate around a more funky view of Bigfoot. If you have those views, fine, whatever, but at least use your talents within the BFRO realm where you have to at least try to follow scientific methodology. Even someone like Ketchum, whose conclusions and principles I disagree with, is admittedly more skilled geneticist than most anyone in the community and could be used productively in a context divorced from her baggage. If these folks are making their own rules and calling their own shots, their talents are going to complete waste. That's not even getting into how adjacent these people are to hoaxes by Standing and Erickson and the trouble that brings. I don't like where this is going.

I do not have a TV. I don't waste time with podcasts. I have not missed anything.

Much as I hate to disagree, I must. The public isn't in any way demanding to know about Bigfoot. Few here on the BFF are even demanding to know and we, of all people, know what most everyone else doesn't. Over two years ago Todd Standing went to court in Canada....essentially demanding the truth. It got tossed. Nearly two years ago Claudia Ackley was almost in court in San Bernardino, California for the same reason- to try and force California to admit existence. She pulled the case and hasn't been heard from since unless facebook and a couple a podcasts count. Beyond that I don't think the public is demanding much of anything. But they watch the TV shows and go to the movies, conferences...etc....etc....and get ridiculed Why the general public, even a fraction of it, doesn't demand the truth is beyond me.

But we already know why. It's been stated numerous times. We are a fractured group/community. There is no group effort. NAWAC is okay but they need MORE people. The Olympic Project is okay but they nee more people. And I'm talking about more people at one time in one place. But even that probably will end up short because of being on foot with the sheer amount of physical ground to cover. Terrain that has numerous avenues for escape. How does one or a group hope to get more than a glimpse at best? Not going to happen. The problem is we're on foot trying to find something that is much better on foot. Go to the source of the howl, go to the place where the wood knock occurred. There won't be anything there. Find the nest, there won't be anything in it. So then, how does one beat such a quarry? Historically? Obviously we haven't. Mainly for the reasons I give. We are the creature's ONLY predator. It doesn't need a skill set beyond simply staying away from us. It's why I harp on e-DNA. I cannot get away from that. We finally have a method for proof. The sooner we act on it, the better. I'm meeting with someone next week. Just got the confirmation email today. If I can do it, believe me, anyone can.

So you haven’t had any encounters is what your saying? And why are they obvious fakes? The point isn’t that our family tree is a Bush. The point is that something was cracking bones with rocks and eating Mastadon marrow 130,000 years ago in California. That rewrites history. And since Homo Sapiens had not left Africa yet? What was it? This isn’t pseudo science or cryptozoology. These scientists in California or not making any argument for Bigfoot. But just like the Ebu Gogo/Hobbit connection? Legends and bones line up. Science can prove you wrong. https://www.livescience.com/38182-tyrannosaur-tooth-in-hadrosaur-tail.html
