Just a tip to those in areas where rubbing alcohol is hard to find or simply not on store shelves like my local area on the left coast. Alcohol is used for other purposes than medical use. My Fred Meyers drug/dept store was cleaned out on the medical supply shelves but I walked over to hardware and paint, and found both quart cans and gallon cans of nearly pure alcohol used as solvent and stove fuel. The stove fuel gallon cost me about $14 which is way cheaper than 12oz medical bottles and I think it is well over 90%. I would guess that any Ace Hardware still has it until word gets out. Unless you drink it there is no difference other than you should use at least 70% for medical use.

Here is a picture taken two years ago in late Summer. It's the first place I will be going this Spring to retrieve (hopefully) a trail cam left over the winter and to scout around. It's the only place I've ever hiked or backpacked to that gives me the uneasy feeling I'm being watched. That feeling is with me whenever I'm here. There have been several sightings in this very area by friends/colleagues. Last year, on an overnight I was on, there was a tree fall that was loud. It's the fifth time that has happened in this area and it's always at night. For decades, I've hiked and stayed overnight in the woods and have never heard a tree fall other than this area. It's one of my two honey holes where I'll be venturing deeper into this year and focusing my time.

First black bear of the season. Saw a black face peering around a tree. I stopped and backed up the four wheeler. Not an easy spot. We are calving and I was looking for this red cow. They leave the herd to calve. Also found a unknown tree stand on the place...

The upside down tree stuff, ok, weird... but 95% of the rest of it, gravity, wind, snow load, human manipulation, other explanable phenomenon. Waaaaaay too much credit given to stick piles. No.... they do exist and 95% plus are explainable, even the bigger ones. Hunters can make shelters, and team up to dos so. Wood knocks have no undeniable truth and neither do stick piles. Its a bunch of wishful thinking. He went off the deep end with little people and hidden bigfoot cities and beyond. Either a clickbaiter or completely out of his mind.

Years ago, I escorted my daughter on a field trip to 'the farm' and they had Scottish Highlanders there. I was kind of shocked when they said they just turn them loose for the winter and they fend for themselves. I mean, this is near an urban area so the worst predators would be coyotes, but we get plenty of snow and the idea they can forage enough and stay warm enough in our subzero winters was an eye opener.

Howdy......hope everyone is doing well:) Here are a few recent print pics, fresh animal kills with interesting breaks circled, and more evidence of someone carrying fire down a very remote trail.

This COVID 19 thing is a media political event. No one seems to remember and are certainly not being reminded that the H1N1 swine flu infected 60 million Americans. 270,000 + were hospitalized, 12,000 + died. No travel restrictions, no quarantines, no mass event closures, no political finger pointing.

And my fav part was getting out to the Kalama, I've always had a thing about that report for some reason and was incredibly grateful that you took the time to take us out there Gerald, thanks again..;) Stunning part of the world, i'd love to drop a rod there someday.

I like Randles because he is a blue collar guy who owns his own business. I think your right about him and the group.

Saw it on a previous trip actually Norse, that and another monster tree, maybe a Doug Fir ? I done the loop road a couple of times on this trip and just relaxed mainly with a few glasses of Vino and read some books, it was hammering down for 20/24 hours a day minimum. I badly needed some me time and a re-charge. I doubt they ran him off for want of a better term, i'm sure he checks in now and again, who knows. I'd bet you all the tea in China he'd prefer to be active doing stuff with his family or out doing his thing in a forest than being stuck behind a computer answering a million and one questions though..;) Got to say I trust my own judgement where people are concerned impeccably and i've seen enough over the years to think that the Olympic Project are full of good people, good people who try genuine their best in what they're doing. They may not be everybody's cup of tea but I think they're good, honest people and to me that means more than anything, personally. What they chose to share or not to share regarding these nests and anything else they're working on right now is completely their choice. They're not some mega secretive group and i'm sure anyone who wants to know about x or y (just talking in general now Norse, not to you) about anything can touch base with them and they'll be as open as they can be.

Very true. Me however, I stopped worrying about what others think about anything long, long ago..;)

Don't go getting funny with me just because your personal belief is grossly waning Mr Hiflier, because "we" haven't got to the bottom of this all in the years "you" have been interested in it ok ? Keep the faith, become a witness..;) Cowlitz County Conference or something like that it was called. I was due to go in Jan so decided i'd work it around one of the conferences out there, glad I did, I enjoyed it and met some good people that I've been tapping to for years. Then went up and stayed at Shane's, then a little Quinault Lodge for 3 nights R&R..;) I'll be out again soon, for sure.

Yeah, it's that Dr J guy, but the distortion that is filmed is similar to the cloaked figures earlier in this thread. I saw something similar in the North Carolina mountains...or at least I think that I did. We were hiking during a storm and the rain had just stopped. We had taken a moment to stop and adjust our gear when I glanced back down the trail we had just traveled. One sapling (only one) began to sway, as if something brushed against it. When the water droplets that were collected on the leaves fell due to the motion, they didn't just fall directly to the ground. They seemed to hit SOMETHING on the way down. Almost as if a piece of saran wrap was stretched through there and wasn't noticeable until it was hit by the droplets of water. I stood there and stared at it for a minute or so, then walked down to that area. I couldn't find any traces of anything in that spot. I never saw a cloaked figure depart that immediate area. It could have very well been a trick of light...an errant wind that just moved that particular tree...it could have been any number of things. But, it seemed extremely odd and I found it very unsettling. If I had not been looking at that exact spot at that exact second I never would have noticed it. I don't believe that anything would have registered on my peripheral vision. However, at the end of the day, all I am left with is all that I saw. One tree moving in the midst of many stationary ones, and the drops of water that SEEMED to hit some sort of distortion on their way to the ground. Not enough to give me an idea of what may have caused it, or even if I merely misinterpreted a more mundane event into a more mysterious one. For what it is worth, I don't believe that this cloaking (if that's what it is) is Sasquatch. I think that there is something else going on there... something that very well might be the cause of these strange disappearances. An entity that was able to camouflage itself like that either through its natural abilities or through use of technology would be an apex predator, especially in a moderate to heavily wooded area.

Getting back to the stick structure question though... I am of the opinion that SOMETHING with hands, and without mechanical assist is creating these things that would be outside of the range of human abilities to be created in the same manner. There are no other candidates for the creators of these things. (If you have a theory, please post it. We had pages and pages of descriptions and photos of tree structures/manipulations over the better part of a year here on the Forum, and nothing ever was proposed. Just sayin') And here is the point: If somebody plugged a Sasquatch tomorrow and drug it in through the front door of John Hopkins Medical School, we would not know any more than we do right now about how/why these structures were created. Given that point...and I think it is beyond refute...what difference does the existence of a type specimen make on this narrow question? Of course, I would say it would make no difference at all. We know right now to a reasonable degree of certainty what is making these things. The ability to explain that further is completely independent of the existence of a body or not. Tell me why I'm wrong. And if I am right, take note of just how high the walls have been built around the denial of the evidence, and acknowledge that it is not the lack of a type specimen that is fueling this denial., on this point at least.

No, you guys are missing it completely. This is not about a little "pile of sticks" or a kid's lean-to. It is not like tree-knocks, or even purported BF yells. If it was like any of those things I would have no point to make. This>> "...SOMETHING with hands, and without mechanical assist is creating these things that would be outside of the range of human abilities to be created in the same manner." Interesting how we've skipped from, "You can't prove BF made these things" to "These structures don't really exist at all..." They have been documented, and they do exist. Let's just agree on that?

IOYZA....yep, that does about sum it up.
