Hello from Texas. I've been fascinated by the bigfoot phenomenon since childhood. I've been an avid follower since and am interested in learning more from a community that is actively researching it objectively.

Here is an interview of the film director (Joshua Rofe). He provides some background on how the documentary evolved and developed. He provides some clues at the end of the interview on where it leads. I will like to learn more about the emerald triangle sub-culture and the dangers within the national forests in that 3 county area (Humboldt, Trinity, and Mendocino). I fear more running into dangerous humans doing illegal things than sasquatch in northern CA.

Welcome to the forums! I would like to give my opinion on your questions. 1) Fear. Fear makes humans do illogical things. I remember the story of the skier on Mt. Hood. Your alone or lagging in a group you turn around and a Pleistocene monster has stepped out onto the trail. You try to scream for help and your voice fails you. And instead of running uphill to your friends you bail over the side running through the brush and head long off a cliff. Or fall into whitewater. Or maybe the monster pursues you and you lose the foot race. I’ve seen people with that kind of fear packing mules in the mountains. Horses have that kind of fear too. Fight or flight? They choose flight. Often right off a cliff and breaking a leg. Humans frozen on their horses or screaming bloody murder. Some humans have that trait. And you won’t know until the chips are down. It’s also possible that humans could have some ancient fear of giant apes imbedded in them. That could also be a two way street. Which leads too.... 2) I have a sneaking suspicion that no one would want a pack of hungry Homo Erectus on their trail. Our ancestors WERE cannibals. Heck even some primitive tribes STILL ARE! I also think that Bigfoot would have a healthy respect for pack hunting ancient humans that could track like their life depended on it. Because it DID! Loose the trail? Go hungry. Repeat that too many times and your a Dodo bird. So big tough Bigfoot may also have a ancestral fear of groups of men with fire and sharp objects. And steer wide unless they can safely pick off a straggler. But kick the hornets nest? Heck no. 3) There is actually other cryptids that we know existed in North America that may explain some of that. They are still looking for Dire Wolves, Short faced bears and saber tooth cats globally. I try to stay away from woo because it simply muddies the waters. I really think we should exhaust every tangible Avenue before becoming ghost hunters. And I don’t think we are there yet. I’m not trading my rifle in just yet for a proton pack just yet.😉

I have some very sad news to share......truly one of the great loves of my life, my sweet wolf Lulu, passed away suddenly yesterday, she was 10 years old, and a tremendous lose for the whole family. It's always sad when a dog passes, but a wolf is something entirely different, it's spiritual. We had a great hike last Sunday, the pic a few posts back was the last I took of her, hiking will never be the same.....RIP my dear Lulu!
