This summer a buddy and I (maybe plus one more if we can convince his wife lol) are going to Ape Canon out near Mt St Helens to look for big foot for 5-7 days. We are experienced hikers and have been out in the "bush" for trail hikes and what-not on a yearly bases. I have been doing as much research as I can on the subject usually with youtube videos up while working or reading websites, indian legends are my favorite. and so has my buddy. (side note: Native American names for sasquatch are crazy translation http://www.sasquatchresearch.net/sassynames.html The Cannibal Demon!?!) We are normal guys that like to goof around and were thinking about making a documentary maybe a kickstarter to try and get some funds to get better camera equipment. We want to do a bunch of interviews of people with sitings in the area and make the documentary about the journey of the "hunt" and of the people that have experienced something on our way out there. Of course we goof around on each other all the time so most likely it will be on the lighter side of bigfoot documentaries... ok here is a dumb video we put together. I know prbly bad idea to share on first post... but what the hell. http://youtu.be/pmyYAJKBJNc Its funny to me. and no its not how the documentary will be haha.. We are taking it serously but were not serious people so we will be having fun with things. and yes this is a bad video haha but we couldnt stop laughing at each other. Anyway I am terrified from doing more and more research on the area. Like the only known deaths from bigfoot are in this area(from what I have found) or have you seen the video outside that guys tent? If i saw that I dont know if I would ever go back in the woods! I am still a slight skeptic, maybe because I havent experienced anything for myself, but we are going to spend 5 days deep in the woods looking for a smart monster that has a ton of sitings. Thats Terrifying! haha ah well. Any pointers would be awesome. We have started a list of things we want to try while were out there to get some sightings. We could use help with: Is there a place to rent good equipment like trail cams or other cameras and mics? We want to make the money stretch for best possible chance of sitings. Ideas on how to get sitings (besides the simple things like tree knocking, leaving food out, or playing recordings. we already have plans for that ) People in the area that we can interview (Near Denver, Salt Lake City, Ape Canon, Bend,or Portland) Finding a full version copy of this https://openlibrary.org/books/OL14650749M/Washington_environmental_atlas Excited to post in the forums and for the trip this July. I will click around and probably find what I am looking for but just wanted to share my story with the forum and couldnt wait. Cheers, Kyle

Saying it is an assumption over and over again is not an argument. There is my logic, above. I'll number it. 1. There are 144 times fewer Bigfoots than bears (not my claim, the OPS) 2. We have hundred of thousands of bear bodies (not in dispute) 3. Statistically we should expect thousands of Bigfoot bodies. 4. Therefore if we do not have thousands of Bigfoots, then the numerical distribution cannot be the reason. What you think is the OPs claim of 3. Therefore we should have no Bigfoot bodies ...follows logically while my number 3 is an assumption. Explain why, please.

How do you guys live in a world where you perceive everyone else's sense of perception as completely fallible? How do you get in a car and drive? How do you trust your own ability to determine if a woman is attractive or not? How do you manage to actually urinate in the toilet instead of on the floor? Do you even perceive your own flatulence to be obnoxious? The very fact that you can make it through the day without a sequence of perceptional disasters is because you, and all of the people around you are, in fact, able to accurately perceive the world the majority of the time and avoid catastrophe. It flies in the face of the thesis that all people are terrible witnesses all of the time. Get real!

It is not an assumption. I can't tell if you can genuinely not understand this or are just pretending. The OP was based purely on numbers. Based purely on numbers, it showed we ought to have a carcass. (Have one. Not have reports of one. Have one.) This is not an assumption. it is statistically correct. The post was making a statistical argument. Therefore there must be some other factors at play. Which the OP did not address. And which we knew all along. You actually SAY in your post there are other reasons we do not have one. Then take me to task for saying that there must be other reasons we do not have one. Seriously. It's not hard. And why do you keep going on about it being confirmed by science? This is nothing to do with whether it's confirmed by science or whether it exists. it's about the logic, or lack thereof, of the argument put forward. Do you actually read my posts of just look at them and spout your standard answer?

Standing it is what it is, but I did notice him mention a curious thing that could be tried. He claims bigfoot actually tracks humans, if true considering the source this could be an easy way to ambush Grendel. Find a suitable ambush point like a ledge, button hook back and watch your own back trail while using concealment. The only animal I have ever had do this to me was a cougar.
