Cannot explain wiiawb (any hint on what this handle means) experience but a twisted tree broken off 6 feet off the ground can be explained. Imagine a big wind tearing through the canopy creating a pushing force on the top of the tree. You would think at some point it would just push it over but what if the tree had deep well anchored roots in a dry ground. If he force is strong enough something will eventually give. If it is not the ground then it will be the trees flex point which would explain the break 5-10 ft off the ground. Now imagine if the flex point, which is getting the brunt of the force, has an uneven density or perhaps an old limb so it is not evenly strong. The weaker side would break first and the tree would twist in to the break creating a twisted tree broken 6-10 ft off the ground.

I am a member of the Taxidermy.net forum and there is a film company that is doing a documentary on Ken Walker, who is a world famous taxidermist, bigfoot enthusiast and one time member on here. It is about him, sasquatch and the sasquatch reproduction he made for the World Taxidermy Show a year or two ago. It looks interesting. It's called Big Fur and will be offered in many forms on it's website. Just thought it might interest some over here.

In my case, the branch was twisted that night while I, and two friends, were there. It was not a windy night.

The spider-like description is sometimes used to describe the crawl, but sometimes there no mention of crawling...just spider-like movements. People seem to have difficulty explaining it. Whether that's because it's just so strange to see a bipedal mammal move like this or because they are just latching on to an interesting description that they previously heard and don't know what else to say, I don't know. Certain tropes seem to get popular and are then commonly adopted in witnesses' accounts. The first time that I ever heard about spider-like movements was Wes Germers encounter. Then, it seemed to start popping up periodically. You just keep hearing that same description.."it moved like a large spider", but no one seems to go into any greater detail. I imagine that it looks something like this.

The advantage of being hairless, of course, is to stay cooler at long distances. Big hairy creatures move fast but not for long due to overheating. In winter though who's to say.

These are neat options. Thank you all for the links and information. The only concern I have, is that this is like getting a little pregnant with going the RV route. The features these campers provide have so many gadgets, electronics, kitchen sink and even toilet that they are like a mini RV. Too complex and too much maintenance for just going out camping (for now, maybe later I will bite). I recall that one of the BFRO trip leaders in CA bought one of these (I think from the company that MIB posted) and put it on a Tacoma. He told me that he will never camp in a tent again after he was touched by a BF through the tent wall. That really freaked him out and he felt safer inside a hard shell camper at night. Everybody has their own personal rationale to make this investment.
