https://www.thewrap.com/finding-bigfoot-the-search-continues-discovery-plus-video/ Well, the guys from Finding Bigfoot are back to make BF TV great again lol. I know a lot of people have their issues with BF TV but this was one of the best times ive had in years. Getting to go out on the overnight, in my research area, with the crew was amazing. I dont know about the other 2 locations they visit on the show but i know mine was red hot that night. I never go in guns blazing, im a passive observer in this area, but having the crew doing their quick and dirty methods to initiate responses paid off that night. Go check it out on Discovery+ FEB 8th.

I was a professional aviator for nearly 40 years. Part of that is reading aircraft accident investigations. As with the missing humans there is often a common thread that seems to connect aircraft accidents with contributing factors. Most of flying is long hours of boredom punctuated with brief and rare minutes of terror. Things go wrong, and sometimes when things go wrong it is more than one thing at a time. Often the accident victums had poor rest, missed meals, and bad weather all compounding what starts as a simple mechanical problem that gets out of control. Other unknown factors that never make accident reportss are home life, fights with the spouse, and troublesome kids. With the right combination of factors, a pilot can get overwhelmed and die. There have been times when I have thought that things going on were playing out like an accident report. When I felt that, I forced myself to take stock of the situation, simplify things, and be extra careful that I did nothing to make things worse. All of that can have parallels with missing and dead humans in the woods. Like flying, the woods can be a very dangerous place if things swing out of control. When our situation in the woods is starting to read like an accident or missing person report, proceed with great care to improve things rather than do anything to make things worse. .

Don't know the current status but he was sick. Congrats skinwalker. Remember your BFF friends when your spinoff gets in motion. I'll be your paranormal expert. "DID YOU HEAR THAT? IT'S FREAKIN ALIENS. RUN!" And then everyone can thank me for bringing extra time foil hats along.

Okay, but I believe that it's government scientists who are clearly the most responsible; biologists dictating wildlife policy and regulation for everybody else, including academic scientists and other government agencies. These are the very people who, for example, in the Oklahoma "open season" bill, who oppose hunting proposals. They say that there are no sasquatches. THOUSANDS of people have produced countless exhibits of evidence of the type that is regularly accepted in courts of law to convict people of crimes: footprint casts, dermal prints, photographs, motion films, witness testimonies, historical tradition, and even scientific proof like fossils (albeit old and not in the New World). The evidence is overwhelming enough for the appropriate and clearly responsible officials to at least exhibit a reasonable attempt to prove something one way or the other. Their lame excuses for doing absolutely nothing have gone beyond irresponsibility: they are suspicious.

"Responsible": In order to answer this question with some basis of accuracy, one must ask, "who is responsible for the well being, management, and protection of a discovered sasquatch? Like everything else, that answer includes everybody, but is clearly ranked. For example, you and I as individuals are responsible for deer to recognized limits. Landowners have responsibilities to deer. Resource extraction industries have responsibilities to them. Science as an industry has responsibilities to them. Academia has certain responsibilities to them. Government has responsibilities to them. Motorists have responsibilities to them. Hunters have responsibilities to them. Of everybody who has responsibilities to sasquatches as a species, mist entities have lived up to them.........with the notable exception of those entities who have the greatest responsibilities to the species: government, science, academia, wildlife management, and aboriginal affairs agencies. These are also the entities who have the greatest responsibility to discover the species, or at the very least, attempt to do so.

Stomp test. I'm 6 foot 5, about 290 and size 13 shoe. Flip flop measures 12 inches. I really want to get back there soon with more and better gear.

I was at Lake Mead on January 27 right after it rained and i was riding shotgun so i could keep my eyes peeled. I saw what looked like an out of place rock stack. I made a mental note and came back to it on the 30th. It's on a peninsula jutting out from the mountain behind it and surrounded by flood channels varying from 20 to 30 feet deep. I was hoping it would be more accessible. Being alone and without decent footwear I stayed within a few feet of the road. Here is a non zoom pic followed by a zoom pic from the same spot. I apologize for the low quality phone pics.

This is awesome! Looking forward to watching the episode, SW13, your presence will make watching this very enjoyable.

The government really does not want the hassle of finding bigfoot. Is it human? Does it have rights? Can bigfoot sue for damages? Will its home (habitat) be protected? Can bigfoot go to school? Can bigfoot play in the NFL? Can bigfoot get food stamps?

@Arvedis Do you agree that a business owner who can recognize and hire talent that makes the Company grow and be profitable should be commended for his/her efforts and vision to identify such talent?

Actually, that credit is due to Bobo. Nobody cares about moneymaker or was influenced by anything he has said or done. He was aimless enough in life to wander into making a bigfoot web site and become an assumed authority because he was first in line to did something with his life that no one with a valid career would consider. That is that is the only reason anyone would acknowledge the BFRO. Who cares about a citizen organization? A reality show cable television producer made it into a household name - not moneymaker. The show would have failed without Bobo. Not known for being a super Bigfooter, he related to and appealed to the sensibilities of the majority of lower intellect viewers who were inspired by an additional reason to say something on social media. Though Cliff's motormouth can occupy a conversation, it was Bobo who attracted viewers. The other person on the team is so forgettable, he or maybe she's a she, did absolutely nothing.

Out of those entities listed above, science is the best option. Because no matter what the other players do or accomplish- which will be nothing- science will have the ultimate responsibility for doing any testing or evaluation in as far as having the credibility for creating a precise record of their efforts in verifying the discovery. So why not cut to the chase and go after science. Even as citizen scientists go about their work, science will, in the end, be the one to put on their stamp of approval. So, yeah, drag one in. But until science officially and publicly says it's a Sasquatch? Then it won't be. Scientists are the nut to crack. They are the end game.

"But some of these notions about what Bigfoot can and cannot do is getting a tad ridiculous." A TAD ridiculous? It's gone beyond that... People are are experts on every single aspect of these creatures. Every single aspect. People will just throw out statements about Bigfoot as fact all of the time. These things would have to be extremely physically gifted to stay hidden and move the way that many reports depict them. However, if they were invincible then they would move around at will with no attempt at stealth. Why hide from something that you don't fear? Not to mention that they would have predated their main competition for resources off the continent long before the first Europeans arrived. The settlers would have found mounds of Indian bones and fat Sasquatch everywhere. I can't remember who it was, but there was a Bigfoot researcher who put forth that Sasquatch became more reclusive and less openly violent when Europeans arrived with their firearms. Like Natfoot said, the only way that this would appear to be true would be a supernatural explanation. I respect Cliff's work, but I do not agree with this idea.

No BF crossings yet.

Hey all. I used to be a member of the original and was one of the original members here but my account seems to have been deleted. Anyway, just thought I'd pop in. Are the old folks still here? moose

What is it supposed to sound like...a charity? Do you expect they should donate their time to show the public how to go sasquatching? If the notion of charging a fee is distasteful, then let those folks make arrangements for an upcoming expedition of their own. Don't charge a penny and do all the work necessary to pull it all together. Nobody is discouraging you from doing that. An expedition is either a group of friends getting together to enjoy a similarly-minded activity or its an endeavor where one person, or a group, makes all the arrangements, conducts it, and gets paid to do so. If it is the latter, that person or group may have to register with the state as a business, possibly file and pay monthly state or local sales tax, carry an insurance policy, file a tax year-end Federal and state income tax return and pay professionals to do all of that. If you build in the layer of costs as well as adding on a fee for your time, there is a fair amount of money to properly organize and conduct an expedition.

I don't do paracord. I use flat straps of polyester / nylon webbing / seatbelt material. I made sleeves of ASAT camo to cover the mounting strap with ratchet buckle and python cable. I also use ASAT 3D leafy camo to hide the mounting and security cable. The 3D leafy camo reacts to wind. 'Scrunching' up the camo fabric can give a 'textured look'. I cover the straps because many materials have dyes to protect against degradation from sunlight as in ultraviolet light. Humans can't see the UV reflection. You may not know that you and your gear look like a neon sign to the animal kingdom. Atsko has info on their site https://www.atsko.com/ And of course, many things to buy. Many adhesives will glow. Fabric and thread can glow. Testing at home can be done with a $10 'dollar bill checker' that emits 'black light'. The UV flashlights cost more and are dangerous. You can burn your retinas in 2 seconds if you are careless. Safety glasses / goggles should be used. I put together some sample images to show how bad it can get. The zebra pattern webbing is just a sample. Your fabric can be OK but the thread at the seams can be a problem. The ratchet strap buckle has epoxy glue under the head of a screw. Glows very nice but that is against the tree and covered. The little black light runs on 4 AA batteries.

ran a search and this came up. which will I choose... animal planet or steamy Bigfoot fiction....

Lost Kingdom of the Yeti? On Amazon. One of my favs.

After taking pics of the rock stack I walked back to the pullover area and past the car. I was looking at the smooth, sandy flood wash bottoms for anything unusual. Nothing too interesting, but on the edge of the pullover area I found this ---

I think Australopithecus, Paranthropus, left Africa 3 million years ago. It is a forest animal. It was warmer then and when it got to Siberia, it found a vast home. Slowly, it adapted to the cold and here we are. Siberia must be bigfoot's home country.

I parked at my cousins up in Seattle and I rode down with him. Just got back to his place. When I have more time I will look you guys up! Promise! I was gonna go out to Forks, but my back is toast from yesterday. Looking forward to a hot bath and my own bed. I will be heading back to the frozen wasteland tommorow.

Before Finding Bigfoot, I think quite a few people got resistance from family or friends as the subject matter was treated as taboo. I think Finding Bigfoot, more than any other source, lifted the dark cloud and made the subject of bigfooting acceptable in today's discourse. I believe the entertainment value to non-bigfooters helped to lighten the subject matter making it much easier for them to scratch beneath the surface and consider things. I see far more tee-shirts, signs, bric-a-brac, and the referencing of bigfoot after FB than before. I think that's progress.
