Good thoughts 2LLT and hiflier. In terms of a movie, I love the idea of an action/adventure/drama based on the Bigfoot experiences of Roger and Bob G. Since we don't know that we have a 'piece of it', my concern is that people will think that's gross, that the DNA is 'contaminated', or that it might be a deep-fake. Also, I don't think that very many people want one to be killed. To me, that would not be a hit movie, nor would anything that's documentary style (too many of those lately, imo). Absolutely, Bill Munns, Dr. Meldrum, eye-witnesses and others should be consulted! I really just think that it needs to be a well-funded, action/adventure/drama, feature-length movie based on the reality of what happened back then. Perhaps there could an epilogue (if that's the right word) at the end of the movie where they fictitiously capture a Bigfoot and the creature is so 4K and so realistic in the movie that viewers are astounded. Just get DiCaprio to star as Roger Patterson and it's a done deal. I like this topic!

I'm a middle aged female dealing with hormone cessation since 2015. I can stay out in 4-12 degee weather during a hot flash and not feel the cold AT ALL. It's wild! Can be out in those temps for 15-20 minutes until it passes. Definitely made me realize how animals who run warm can manage the winter temps. When I become so hot I immediately remove layers of clothing and if it's cool or cold I run outside until it passes. Cannot feel the cold in any way. Just something for you to consider.

I believe there needs to be a serious, ACCURATE, high-profile A-list movie made about the events leading up to and surrounding the Patterson/Gimlin film. I'm not referring to something left up to the discretion of some latte-sipping unicorn in Hollywood either (who's probably never even been off concrete), because if that were allowed to happen then it would surely be turned into a silly, modern-day horror/comedy like the "Mummy" with Brendan Frasier, which was simply goofy and inaccurate in so many ways that it forever ruined the reputation of many actual figures from history https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK5ott5ery8 (I expected a sweeping, captivating and serious adventure movie when that first came out - imagine my eventual disappointment). Along with Bob Gimlin, there are so many other people who could be tapped for knowledge to make a movie like this happen - people such as Munns, Meldrum, et al. The subject of "Bigfoot" has blown up to heights no one would have ever expected and at this point it has infused itself in our everyday culture that it's became commonplace and expected; most of the time it's an image portraying a loosely-associated profile of Patty stuck on something. Heck, as an example, even my 2016 Jeep Renegade has a hidden PATTY PROFILE in the rear glass striping from the factory!. So, IMO, it all truly started with the P&G film. I think a serious P&G movie is simply begging to be made and would be a major hit. One of the men responsible for bringing the original film to us is still alive and I think this needs to happen while he's still with us.

Until it's filmed walking.

With a bit of research one can run down maps of cave locations, like this one for example. Although it's from 1963, one would think that most of the caves, unless entrances have been barred off, are still around: Washington Caves.pdf Local grottos of the National Spelunker's Society may have info but one needs to become a member and most locations are still fairly guarded. Search the USGS in your respective state or its mining cave locations which should reward one with active and inactive caves and mines to research. My advice? never go in one because any bat colonies present are extremely sensitive intrusion and the cave could be cross contaminated should a visitor be wearing clothes that are contaminated with, say, White Nose Virus which has already killed untold millions of bats. One can see where this idea is going? Everyone claims that the Sasquatch knows its own back yard like the back of its hand so I think it safe to say it knows where ALL the caves, bear dens, rock shelters, rock overhangs, and other such places to hunker down in extreme weather conditions. Add in that larger creatures can withstand cold better than small ones and I see no concerns with the Sasquatch riding out stretches of brutal winter conditions. On the flip side, this same idea works for the sometimes brutally hot stretches of summer weather as well. And then there's avoiding hunters and other Humans in order to have protection for the young. Many national parks do not have caves per say, but around 35 or more do. The total number is in the high 3,000's and they are closely monitored by the NPS for all kinds of science data including paleoarcheology and eDNA. So does the NPS know if Sasquatches use their caves or not? Dunno.......ask 'em.
