I was looking for some books on the subject and perhaps a new film to watch (after watching a miserable "documentary" about the She-Squatchers) and it became pretty clear that the world of Bigfoot is stagnant and has been for years. I ordered Peter Byrnes book and Ron Morehead's book but nothing else on Amazon seemed to grab me or I have already read it. And really, do any new books contain any new info or is it just more of the same old stuff dressed up? There is just so much dreck and inane stuff on the publishing side you feel badly for the trees that died for them to be printed. The same with documentaries. You get to watch a few re-enactments, hear a few stories and see a guy tromping through the woods in a gorilla suit but solid evidence or any titillating info is lacking. Basically, we watch 90 minutes of people camping and thinking every brush pop is a 8 foot tall hairy giant. And the talking heads just repeat the same stuff they said in the last film they participated in. Just feels like we are spinning our wheels here and isn't that just the most frustrating thing? You'd think somebody would manage to get something "new' to breath life into things. So, has anybody seen anything lately that makes them excited about the subject or have we run the gamut and plumbed as deep as we can until serious folks do a serious study or, better yet, a body is acquired? Can't help you with books or movies, and can't tell you when i'll be finished, but i'm working on the long term Olympic Project Nest Area Recording Project which now has over 1,000 combined vocalization and percussive recordings from around 3 years now, that don't appear to belong to any known animal. I'm/We're also collecting localized actual visual sightings from that general area of which many aren't via the normal public ways that we gets reports for the SSR, and i truly believe that the general area there will soon enough provide something decent in way of a pic/video hopefully. Life and bills are right now slowing me down more than i want and that can't be helped, but imo and i appreciate i'm being a little vague here, this project and what it's appearing to yield, is keeping my head in the game, no doubt. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got an EDC knife on me almost always but I guess I never thought this would be one of the uses to put it to. Just read this thread a couple of hours ago and I'm still cracking up over the above sentence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go #1 or #2 ?. You never know when you might encounter the potential ill effects of camp food that is borderline too old or meet up with our cousin(s) at close range. Have several changes on hand.

Late to the game here, but here's my take on it all. Yeah, searching for sasquatch still has my interest. HOWEVER. There are so many other things that I love to do in the woods. I love camping and day hiking. I love fishing and fly fishing. I love mushroom hunting. I would like to take up hunting - grouse specifically - in the near future. I'm beginning to take up backpacking and looking into multi-day trips. I want to try horse-packing trips somewhere pretty. I'd like to campfire cook better, and learn to dehydrate and create backpacking food. That said, there are MANY other reasons to be out in the woods than pure bigfoot or cryptid hunting. Our trips are always dual or multi-purpose adventures. I'll never get bored of it. As far as books or movies or even videos - well, there's some people I really enjoy watching (Joe and Jessi @ Hellbent Holler for one, but most I can pass by. I'd rather be out there doing it myself (and doing it better tbh) than watching other nerds in the woods @BobbyO, I completely respect what you're doing and wish you all the best!

The subject hasn't gotten stagnant to me personally, however I am bored of a lot of the "production" efforts. There's only one group (small town monsters) currently turning out good content on bigfoot and it's because there's little to no fluff for viewers. You get the story then make up your own mind. As for research I kinda stopped watching every one else except the OP, Darby Orcutt, and the kid from the UK with the old world primate DNA showing up. Kinda got me out of the mindset of keeping up with the Joneses on hardware and technology and just sticking to doing what I do best, and that's tracking and ecology studies. I just go out, enjoy the wilderness, take pics, and conduct the occasional survey or official study. If your close to WV I'm open for any of y'all to come out with me anytime. I've got some updating to do over on the southern WV/ Wineberry thread. Good topic @Skinwalker13 Thank you for your interest! I know I haven't made it easy to "follow" what I'm doing, as I've been so focused on actually *doing* research that I haven't guested on a podcast in about a year, nor been publicly posting much - and only spoke at the Ohio Bigfoot Conference this year. Since you find what I'm doing interesting, I'm wondering what sort of updates you might be looking for? I'm trying to develop a new web page and social media strategy to keep in touch with folks. Since I'm interested in doing the research rather than becoming a celebrity or selling things, I'm trying to find manageable ways of keeping in touch with folks like yourself who want to hear what I'm up to. (I'm open to ideas!) Best, Darby Orcutt NC State University Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawk454 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 The curse of BiGFo0T is a real thing. It primarily affects men. You don’t find Sasquatch, ,most sightings/knowings happen by pure luck or coming across a Sasquatch that’s preoccupied with something else.
