Just a huge Bravo to @gigantor for keeping the Sas in the Squatch over some difficult times and some good times, much respect to your Herculean efforts bro! And you could not have passed the torch to a more deserving Director in @norseman ! I know he has a lot of experience in reining in the mules @Catmandoo

Thank you for your technical expertise and countless hours of work. "taking the reins"............nice intro. Does he have spurs?

It’s the femur analysis in the researcher section.

1) I don’t need your permission to post X, Y or Z. And I don’t give a pile of bull manure if you find it uninteresting or spammy or whatever. My suggestion is to drop the attitude.🫤 2) You may not be aware, but I found a Elk femur bone in the Selkirk mountains in which a hammer and anvil technique was used to extract bone marrow. Other groups have found evidence of stone tool use as well. Chimps also use primitive tools too. It’s well documented. 3) We don’t know what Sasquatch is. Which means YOU don’t know what Sasquatch is. So if other researchers in non Sasquatch circles are finding evidence of archaic hominids in NORTH AMERICA? You better believe I am sitting up and taking notice. As well you should too. I take keen interest in the Cerutti Mastodon find, the Chapala lake skull cap find, the Calico dig site, etc. Anything that debunks the Clovis first scenario. Some of this is obviously Homo Sapien. But some of it IS NOT. What was extracting bone marrow from a Mastodon 130,000 years ago in California…. not Homo Sapiens! What’s harvesting Elk bone marrow in NE Washington in 2020? 🤷‍♂️ Is this relevant to Sasquatch? You better believe it is. We have 12 feet of snow here now at 5000 feet. Sasquatch isn’t eating berries or skunk cabbage right now. Which leaves what? Meat. Fat. Bone marrow. 👍

First off, it's interesting information, second it's a revolution in the understanding of human evolution and as far as it being sasquatch related, It's elementary. If there's evidence that neanderthal and or homoerectus lived in NA, it's evidence that hominids spread world wide far more than previously recorded. And, since we don't actually know what sasquatch is, and some of the leading theories are that sasquatch are relic hominids like these two species, just evolved for bigness by a million years of isolation on this hemisphere, it follows that evidence for these two species being here is evidence for sasquatch more likely being them or their descendants. Personally, and entirely unrelated to how these two being in the WH, I think we are being slow walked into realization that "human" is a very loose term at best and a dozen distinct but related animals are known as mankind today. Like dogs are a hundred different breeds but still cross fertile, so is mankind. But only time will tell.

I modify my Sony ICD PX333 recorders to go two weeks, using 4x AA rechargeable batteries. I also use my own custom microphones with low pass filtering that require 2x 9V batteries, that will also go 2 weeks. The whole package is placed in a plastic tumbler covered with camo tape, leaving it waterproof, portable, and discrete.

Dear BFF Members, I want to take a moment to share some personal news with all of you. As many of you know, managing the forum and ensuring its continued growth and vibrancy has been a true labor of love for me. However, as my schedule and commitments have changed, I find that I no longer have the time and energy that this community truly deserves. It is with both a sense of pride and gratitude that I announce I am stepping aside as director of the Bigfoot Forums. But fear not, as I’m excited to introduce the new director who will be taking the reins – Norseman! Norseman has been an active and thoughtful member of this community for a long time. He brings a wealth of knowledge, a deep passion for Bigfoot, and a strong commitment to maintaining the welcoming and respectful atmosphere that has made this forum a special place for all of us. I am confident that under his leadership, the Bigfoot Forums will continue to thrive and grow, providing a platform for all of us to share our stories, theories, and experiences. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for making this community what it is today. It has been an honor to serve as your director, and I look forward to continuing to be a part of this journey, just in a different capacity. Please join me in welcoming Norseman to his new role. I know you’ll all offer him the same support and camaraderie that you’ve always shown me. Warm regards, Gigantor Outgoing Director, Bigfoot Forums

The high end units cost a lot more because they are typically used in studios for audio / video and audio work. The frequency range covered is an important spec. Headphones worn for hours have to be comfortable. During monitoring at night, I fall asleep with my headphones on so it is important to find some that are not sweat baths for your ears.

Nice, geesh there must be a Newport in every state!

I am in Newport, Wa. Spent a lot of time in Pend Oreille county. And have been exploring around Priest Lake lately.

On the BFRO, Bonner County and Valley County have by far the most number of reports for the state. I have been through Valley County; my dad and I went deer hunting further north around White Bird a number of years ago. I remember stopping in the town of McCall, and McCall is mentioned in about three of the Valley County reports. I do remember the terrain around McCall was more sasquatch looking than it was around White Bird. In the reports for Bonner County, which I think is in the panhandle, Priest Lake and Priest River are mentioned several times. Shoshone County had the third most reports, with 8.

Manufacturers have lists of SD and microSD cards that have been tested. Two lists may appear in the respective support pages: approved / supported and unapproved recording media. Surprise, SanDisk products are not rubber stamped for successful performance. An example from Sound Devices covers SD cards and microSD cards are not approved. https://www.sounddevices.com/mixpre-series-approved-media-list/ TASCAM DR-05 and DR-05X 'supported media' of microSD cards. Searching the brand name list for model numbers is tedious. https://cf.tascam.com/wp-content/uploads/downloads/media_list/tascam/dr-05x_dr-07x_media_list.pdf Way to dilate the rabbit hole. The TASCAM unit DR-05 can be found for under $100. DR-05X is also under $100. Low end frequency response is listed at 20Hz. ( zoom units roll off really bad at about 30Hz ). Going below 20Hz reliably requires a suite of equipment that will cost 4 figures. Infrasound mic, aka measurement mic, field recorder that goes below 20Hz and full surround headphones that handle the low frequencies. Full surround because you don't want any noise 'leaking' out if you are monitoring/recording in a blind and you want all of the noise bouncing around in your head ( Jethro quadraphonic ). No, no and no. Maximum memory capacity of the card will be set by the manufacturer. Recording time is based on the condition of your power supply and sample rate. There are many memory cards available. I have found a source that is endorsed for audio and video. OWC......."Other World Computing". Perfect name for our projects. https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory-cards/atlas-pro-sd-v60 The rabbit hole continues.........

Can you please expand on how you think this is relevant to the Sasquatch topic?
