A lot of those islands are due to the many conflicting theories and personalities in this field. Since so many people have such passionately held beliefs about the nature of this phenomenon, delay groups develope along those lines. Pro-kill, no kill. Flesh and blood vs paranormal. Humanlike vs apelike. David Paulides, Les Stroud, Scott Carpenter, and the howtohunt guy have all kind of aligned due to some shared beliefs. Then, there are groups who are vehemently opposed to them. As far as the noise levels go...one man's noise is another man's music. What I consider to be useless sometimes made up information,others might see as the gospel truth. If you are looking for decent podcasts on the subject, you can add Sasquatch Chronicles (although Arvedis will disagree with me on that one) and Bigfoot Eyewitness Radio. William Jevnings puts out a podcast called Creek Devil, which I don't care for but others enjoy. NAWAC has a podcast called Apes Among Us that is pretty informative. Facebook groups have been more than useless for me at least, with the exception of sometimes finding a regional news piece on the subject that I might otherwise have missed. I am sure that there are tiny little nuggets of gold scattered among the dirt there, but I don't have time to sift for it. The same goes for Reddit groups. Most of those groups from both platforms are filled with Bigfoot memes, pictures of Bigfoot coffee mugs,and barely literate diatribes attacking those who have broken the author's personal code of Bigfooting. Honestly, these forums are probably the best way to get a wide range of theories and connect with other researchers. Like everywhere else, there's a lot of conflicting theories here, but everyone meshes together we'll enough.

BAN THIS MAN!!!

Yes, you got it. I was mainly asking, "Am I missing something?" Since I am relatively new to this research topic, I found it a bit odd that there are so many "islands". It reminded me of how all the law enforcement agencies worked decades ago. Serial killers like Ted Bundy realized that they could roam the U.S. to stay safe. Thank you both for the additional sources! Shall I add Sunny Vator to the list? LOL! The noise level can be quite high until you get experienced with searching and finding true information. By chance, I happened to watch an episode of the original "In Search Of" yesterday. It was from season 3 called, "Monsters". Of course, one of them was Bigfoot. To my surprise, they kind of explained why individual groups had formed to discover the creature instead of scientists or federal agencies. It still rang true today...almost 45 years later! I also got to see a very young John Green. Cheers!

Hi Believer57, I am not sure what you are looking for exactly. Your list contains a mixture of research groups, individual researchers, podcasts, youtubers, and our forum. If you are looking for a comprehensive list of anyone and everyone who is associated with the search for Bigfoot...I wouldn't even begin to tell you how to find it. Podcasts, youtube channels, and Facebook groups come and go constantly. If you are looking for a list of large research groups , then the main ones right now are probably the BFRO, the Olympic Project, and NAWAC. The Bigfoot side of Missing 411 is NABS...I am not sure how active that organization is now. I don't know if there is a list of Bigfoot podcast/youtube programs. There are a million out there, but I find myself listening to the same few every week.

A transmitter inside a toy like a small doll, or some other interesting item, would take advantage of the gifting concept. The Sasquatch has been reported to handle objects and not just something that is edible. I think tracking is a good idea, though not new, so it may come down to teasing out the curiosity factor somehow to be successful. It would probably be beneficial to not use a frequency within a certain range, such as what gets emitted by our usual go-to devices like cams, recorders, and thermals. Just because animals get collared doesn't mean they can't detect the transmission frequencies of those devices. Makes me wonder if collaring keeps certain animals "safe" from predation. Or even steers prey away from predator animals wearing collars. One question along that line might be why didn't the BF, or whatever it was that NAWAC's transmitter stuck to, not avoid getting close enough for it to attach to it. That answer may be helpful for the rest of us to know. Like maybe what frequency NAWAC was using?

In all likelyhood you did not give the file enough time to download before trying to open it. The files are huge. My internet connection is barely fast enough to stream a movie and it takes a very long time to download the LIDAR data files. Arvedis; if you or anyone wants to mount an expediton in the PNR I am all in. I would furnish the airplane and my skills for whatever support the expedition deems necessary. My airplane has a removeable cargo compartment door that lends itself to mounting cameras directed at the ground. Should someone want to develop a camera package for the airplane let me know. You could put your money into camera gear without having to spend any money on a drone. The only thing I will not do is do night mountain flying. That is basically a deathwish. If everyone pays their own way, we could have a hell of an expedition for what one would pay for a baby sitted BFRO expedition. Another use of an airplane is airdropping supplies to someone in the remote backcountry. Should anyone need that kind of support let me know. I would do it without cost just to support the BF research cause. As a side note, I volunteered to provide air support to the Olympic Project and they ingnored the offer. Too many egos in that outfit. I could even use my videographer skills to document the expedtion. Who knows, it something happens it might even be something Animal Planet or Travel network might want to air. As we have seen from Expediton Bigfoot it does not take much happening to get air time. Just don't try to impress me with an angorithm because I have enough math skills to know when I am being fed a line of bull.
