No. Your BF Wikipedia would be overrun by trolls and all different types of BF folks claiming and editing things as fact. A central BF website that takes a stance on what they believe (F&B, paranormal, whatever) that covers what you said? Sure. But by definition, it can't be crowd/publically (or at least heavily moderated) generated/editable.

No no.... you hear banjos at the ones over here. Although the lack of soap may still be a problem.... instead of patchouli oil you will probably smell a combination of sweat, manure, smoke and beer. 😜

We are planning on going out to Smokey Mountain National Forrest and Nantahala National Forest.... Any goods spots to hunt the Big Guy?

Very interesting. May be a stupid question, but are you guys detailing these finds elsewhere? Would love to read more!

That's a good point. Everything that's public and editable gets overrun by trolling. It would still be good to have some consistent guidance in an accessible place, maybe not editable except by a few people.

Welcome , oregonfieldresearcher1987 !

That Capitol State Forest has been absolutely hammered for bike tracks etc now i think you'll find, it's MotoX heaven in there. There does appear to be a thing with these west facing ridges though H no doubt, the new finds earlier this year were also positioned on them. Let me add too regarding the huckleberry element that i found last month, especially the Evergreen Huckleberry (otherwise known as Florist Huckleberry, Californian Huckleberry, Shot Huckleberry and Florist's Huckleberry) which is the Huckleberry found within the areas of the nest finds. Check this out, i think it's very cool..;) "The leaves are antiseptic, astringent, carminative and hypoglycaemic. An infusion of the leaves and sugar have been given to a mother after childbirth to help her regain her strength." Shane talks more about the nests and the Huckleberry angle here - http://strangeharbor.net/speaker/shane-corson/ It should be noted that not all Huckleberry is/was used where childbirth is concerned. Evergreen Huckleberry, Bog Bilberry and the Black Huckleberry are the only Vaccinium to have "birthing aid" confirmed within their medicinal purposes. I have also read that Rubus Spectabilis (Salmonberry) was used by the Quinault women a long time back for medicinal purposes including after childbirth. Also bear in mind the huge piles of leaves found directly at these nest areas, huge piles just sitting there. This is the only thing that has got me excited about this subject in a long, long time..;)

It's a good theory that should be looked at. BF research needs a Wikipedia where researchers can refer to. What do I look for if I find a possible BF nest? Identify the materials used. Catalog the types of materials so other researchers can cross reference. If such a reference exists now, it's not widely known.
