Thank you. I have made a deal with myself. Everytime I go shopping, I will get another Mountain House entree or two and add it to my stores, along with a few more cans of corned beef hash, canned ravioli, chili, etc...maybe some of those "pouch meals" that are ready to eat as well. Got a pouch of Mexican style cooked pork for just a couple of bucks. Expiration date is years from now. Many of the shelves in the store were fairly barren, but the Mexican section was not. I have enough rice and beans to last quite a while by now. I'll be looking for those Prego Ready Meal pouches too. Heard decent things about them.

No, not exactly, but would not be surprised if they manage something similar using various landmarks, seasonal weather changes, and celestial events.

Yesterday, I went on a hiking adventure rather than a sasquatching one. I hiked with a buddy and we went up and over three mountains on a peninsula. The interior forest was a bit hazy as we started up the first one. Then, as you proceed from the first mountain to the second one to the third, you walk some of the way along a ridgeline, where you are treated to a view of both sides. The area is well known for its population of timber rattlers and if bitten there is no fast or easy way back to your car. That doesn't bode well. I've been hiking and backpacking many years and this hike was the most difficult one I've ever done. That includes Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Desolation Valley, and the Grand Canyon. Steep climbs, then sliding down nearly-vertical terrain on your backside as you proceed down the mountain. The descents, with their rock ledges and narrow pathways, were more rigorous than the ascents. One missed step, which becomes easier when you begin to get tired, and you're tumbling down nearly vertical cliffs in some areas. All-in-all it was a great day hiking and the continuous views along the way inspired us to continue forward. Edited: To add the last picture. At the summit of the first mountain there was a deer. Didn't expect that. The reason I am including it is to show why "blobsquatches" are prevalent in pictures today. I had to hurry to get a picture of the deer as it began to move away. The camera focused on the vegetation rather than the deer.

Yeah. That if Plan A involves you tying a pheromone chip and a used tampon to your belt, skip directly to Plan B.

Here's the thing. Menstruation usually marks the LEAST fertile point of a human female's cycle; strewing used pads or tampons around in the bush might bring attention because it's human blood* but it's certainly not an invitation, pheromone-wise. *apologies to those who thought women secreted Windex; I'm sorry you had to find out this way

I don't downvote anyone either. At least I don't remember doing so TAs to the quoted above, then whever one takes samples, even if right after a claimed sighting, nothing will show novel primate, Bear maybe, or Human? If the sample shows Human though, then it should be put through a more rigorous process that targets the Human NOTCH2NLA, B and C variations to see if the genetically expressed proteins are present. If the samples are Human then those proteins should be there. If they are not then the source must be a different kind of primate. On the hand, if the assay has been designed to look for the NOTCH2NL gene and it's defective copy (primitive ape brain) then it will, or should be, a different kind of ape. Either result can be run against the GenBank and neither result will match a Human or a Great Ape. That's the point I've been trying to get across. Regardless of all of that, nothing on the internet even comes close to talking about that- or even looking for Sasquatch, real or not, with e-DNA technology. Which is the point of this thread's topic. Plussed you, Huntster, YOU DA MAN!!
