Don't get too excited. Roads are bad on the reservation, and I'm not sure we can get to the spot where we want to take Igor (again). We need to get in there with chainsaws to clear the way. It's up this road. Looks like at least one person has made it, so that's encouraging. I didn't try this week. If no rain, we may give it a go next week. Anyway, all you can get from me is audio, no videos, except maybe from a dash cam. Howls have been reported by hunters and we're trying to record one if we can.

My girlfriend said she loved camping when we first started dating. What I later learned is that her idea of camping was a luxury RV or in a campground with shower facilities. We compromised and I brought along a port-a-potty when we tent camp.

I’d be hard pressed to believe BF has bioluminescence eyes. We just do not see this trait in other large mammals. This would just add to other supernatural abilities BF has been “gifted”.

IIRC from her story, it was dark outside. I think her sister was reading or playing, so I imagine there was light inside. But I don't know, just trying to deduce. The teeth were not red, the eyes were. Sorry if my bad typing may have indicated otherwise. It was a pre-coffee moment.

As a boy in the 70’s I had a wool army blanket of my fathers, a case knife and a Ruger 10/22. Where ever I hiked I just made a lean to out of fir boughs. I remember a couple of wet nights out there! I shot a lot of ruffed grouse and would sometimes pack a can of beans along. I wanted to be a mountain man as a kid. Fun, fun! It toughened me up for mule skinning in the Rockies later on in life!

Doing well, really appreciate you guys! Went hiking a few times alone this last week, guess that's the new plan, my other 'dogs' are just getting a bit too old and not looking to get any more....getting too old myself, lol. Found a nice fresh print & trackway, a Collared lizard catching the spring rays. and had to laugh at this one.......one of the peanut butter containers from a few years ago, ha.

They are slick as owl crap, yeah. Dead-level is the only way to make them work. Pretty much you do end up doing a burrito, no matter what method you use. Speaking of Spring weather....April of '75 I was pinned down in a surprise ice storm above the Delaware Water Gap on the AT after having hiked all day in jeans and cheap windbreakers in a driving rain. Back then, you looked at the weather forecast before you went to sleep the night before leaving. After that, you were pretty much in God's hands, LOL. Had a cheap cotton sleeping bag (which got wet) and a do-it-yourself tube tent. No such things as ensolite or Thermarests back in those days, and if there were we probably could not have afforded them. I'm surprised I wasn't stuck to the ground the next morning. Good time, good times....

I have to ask, in a kind way of course was there any light in the room where the creature could see the sister on the floor/lower bunk? If not, and the room was completely dark, then what kind of light was outside that made the creature visible to anyone who was inside? Some light of some kind must have been around in order for the woman to have seen the teeth? If it was eyeglow reflecting back to the creature from the glass then would the teeth perhaps look reddish?

My guess is that any bioluminescent compounds ingested orally would be destroyed early on in the digestive process. I have heard at least one first hand report of glowing eyes that changed from yellowish orange to red when the creature got angry and showed it's teeth. This was witnessed by a woman I know while she was less than six feet from the creature's face, who was peering into a window. The woman was in an upper bunk of a bed right next to the window. The creature was watching her sister on the floor or lower bunk and The creature did not see my friend at first. I don't remember which, then when she saw my friend so close intently staring at her in amazement, it growled and showed it's teeth. That's when the eyes went red. She said it was definitely not a reflection. She is certain that the eyes were glowing from the inside.

Tobe Johnson is a friend that @Madison5716introduced me to and the three of us have gone out into the field. He's quite the character! He is a magnet for strange things happening in his life, to put it mildly. He was the person who called Cliff Barackman about the London trackway.

Here's another method, one I used decades ago in the Ramsey's Draft Wilderness in VA...I was going to spend the night out in the mountains but all my gear was elsewhere. Went into my Granny's closet and found the heavy mil plastic that a mattress had come in. (She was always salvaging and saving stuff like that). She cut it open on only one end and slipped it off. Voila! Vapor barrier sleep sack! Can't says it was luxurious sleeping, but it weighed next to nothing and kept the dew off me. Then again...I think my elevated discomfort threshold as younger man helped a lot.

Right! I love camping. I've camped as a reenactor with my clothes, knapsack, haversack, rifle, knife and bedroll. Sleeping on the cold cold ground, so to speak. And up to tent camping in canvas or modern stuff. She didn't pick me, and I didn't pick her because of camping. But I did ask, and she said, if the Russian wife likes to cook and clean, she's welcome to join the team. LOL Can't get anything past this woman.

TV shows are in the business of creating perceived drama and tension that generates advertising revenue, not explaining whether Bigfoot exists or not. I got myself in a high hover over an episode of Finding Bigfoot that was filmed in New York and thoroughly raked it over the coals for factual inaccuracies (their "local" scientist was at an aquarium/zoo 80 miles and two (small northeastern) states away. Or maybe only one little bitty northeastern state away, but it still was in now way was the scientist "local" to the location. About two years later I re-watched the episode and realized that all of the encounter reports were individually very accurate. And I realized that while the TV producer might not be too worried about not getting stuff right, that doesn't reflect on the researchers.
