Sandra Bullock and Meghan Markle, please !

And I'd work like a dog. It would be a great trip.

No reason to over pack consumables. She could enlighten you on the '3 sea shell' technique.

@norseman on a mule trip. I'd want @Huntster there for the stories, cussing, etc. TV personality wise? Les Stroud.

Your camera served you well hiflier. Beautiful pictures and settings. I could enjoy each spot.

Beautiful places, Norseman. Good to see you so active and on the road. The techies that be decided my flip phone was ancient history and last winter "they" thought an Android would be better. The thing about that is I would never remember that it takes fairly good pictures. Welp, this last trip I finally remembered to use the danged thing.

I will stand there with a beer in my hand and point! Put that there, this goes there, dont do that, weigh that!

Logistics of hauling building are one issue, another may be the bigger and more obtrusive it is could lead to detection by BF. Small and unassuming I think would be the best approach.

If you have some time, watch / listen to the Bigfoot Odyssey interview with Mark Barton. What if he's right? He might be delusional, so he might be wrong, but I do not read intentional or knowing deception from him. So the possibility he's right, no matter how far out his account is, shouldn't be discarded merely because the content is uncomfortable. What if we are messin' with something other than what we think we're messin' with and we are completely over our heads, outclassed. Human arrogance doesn't like to consider that .. but we should. The quickest way to lose is to underestimate your opponent. We always lose, but we refuse to consider that this "opponent" might have an advantage over us ... again, human arrogance. Not rational, reasonable approach to the "problem." In the back of my mind, I have to ponder "what if ... ?" ... then I have to look for ways to prove or disprove it 'cause I"m too dang foolish to walk away. What has been seen can't become unseen. ... or, put another way, I've taken the bait. MIB

Up around Cloudcroft NM. Saw lots of Mule deer and Elk! About 1/2 hour from my daughters house in the desert. Kinda crazy! Some of the most beautiful park like country I have seen. IMG_3528.MOV IMG_3529.MOV

Beautiful areas, @norseman and @PNWexplorer! Interesting twists, @PNWexplorer.

Hey SWWASAS....good to hear from you, interesting stuff for sure:) Had a good gully-washer rain the other morning, and finally able to see various animal tracks out there. Here's a 3-day old Sotol chew, and 3 sizes of prints....the 3 individuals appeared to be traveling together down one particular trail that I share with them, a juviefoot, teenfoot, and daddiofoot.

What I've heard is you can tell the difference between bear scat and sasquatch scat by the smell. Bear scat will smell fruity or grainy while sasquatch scat stinks like ours does. On the etiquette question, I read one account where a person said after the squatch took a dump it wiped with its fingers and licked its fingers.

One could certainly use a little camo to help hide the structure. And if done correctly, the structure might even cause BF to become curious about it and move closer to inspect it.

Right, my idea is more of a fixed asset, think small treehouse or something similar. You really want to get fancy, put up walls and a roof for all weather surveilling. Of cource this would be difficult to build anyplace except your own property. I cannot see the Forest Service taking too kindly to a fixed structure in one of the National Parks (not to mention hauling the materials in to build it). But for long term occupancy and observation, it does make sense, at least to me.
