I like watching the show as well. But it's Hollywood, and so much of it pushes the bigfoot falsehoods of the past.
A shy and elusive bigfoot doesn't sell movie tickets, but a dangerous predator, or a rogue character, sells plenty
of movie tickets. Also, after interacting with these intelligences for over 10 years, I realize that you don't have to
go off on distant hikes with big camera crews.
All they have to do is to go camping, have a campfire, sit around and talk to each other, ignore the forest, and the
forest beings will come to them. They will usually start tossing stones by them, or break sticks at opportune times.
No need to repel down a cliff, or walk around blindly at night. or forge a river, or climb a mountain. Just find a secluded
area with access to water, and set up a camp. But that is boring, and doesn't make for good television.
Also, bigfoot are empathic, and they prefer to be around happy, good natured people, just my opinion.
Fear is not a good attractant for the forest beings, in fact it is a repellent, because fear it what gives rise to
hate, jealousy, violence and other bad things.
