  1. Call me 'virtually nobody', VN for short. At least you knew how to use a 35mm camera. Film has been coming back. Let us fast forward. Taking a measurement microphone into the forest would yield anecdotal results. We are bombarded by infrasound in our environment. It is all around us, 24 /7 365. We can't shield for it / attenuate infrasound. Sound pressure waves with very long wavelengths are what we use to communicate with submarines. Goes through air, us, rock and water. The rabbit hole is getting wider and deeper. The answer to the question of whether or not Sasquatch can generate and focus sound pressure waves is elusive at this time. Comments / claims are anecdotal. Many animals have evolved to be able to generate and focus sound pressure waves and interpret the return signal. Elephants, Giraffes are the popular choices. Marine mammals have the best sonars. Better than man made sonars. Flying mammals as in bats echo range / locate. Not just mammals, the Oil Bird in South America can echo locate in total darkness with a resolution of about a 25 cent piece. The old worn out saying is 'nature finds a way'.

  2. Actually no. China has had government funded Yeren hunts. The Soviets did too but in secret (of course). And the Nepal government actually sold a permit to search for the Yeti. So not all governments have given it such a cold shoulder as the US….. https://sino-platonic.org/complete/spp309_chinese_wildman.pdf https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjk3jm/bigfoot-believers-uncovered-a-lost-manuscript-about-the-soviet-sasquatch https://www.historyextra.com/period/general-history/yeti-real-history-legend-abominable-snowman/

  3. I've said it before and will say it again--the advent of smartphones have caused a giant step backward in the search for a clear picture or video of a sasquatch. Virtually nobody carries a "real" camera in their endeavors in the woods. Auto-focus doesn't know what to focus on with layers of branches between you and the object you wish to photograph. In the old days, I could quickly manually focus using my Minolta 35mm camera. The simple truth is I took much clearer pictures of objects in nature with the ancient 35mm camera than with any of my smartphones of today. YMMV
