Where do you suppose sasquatches find shelter?

[AlaskaDreamer]

Serious inquiry, serious answers only please.  I've thought about this for awhile.  What are the working theories on where a creature the size of sasquatch would find shelter in the forests from heavy rains, snow, storms etc?  Caves? Not all areas where there have been sightings have caves.  Any thoughts?

They shelter as best they can, by hunkering down as much out of the wind as possible. Similar to other large mammals in the woods.

Nests suspected to be made by a sasquatch have burn found at the base of spruce tree such that the branches and boughs form a roof over the nest.

Albert Ostman described their "beds" woven from brush (like the nests mentioned above) and under rock overcrops similar to Anasazi cliff houses.

Interesting. Thanks!

I actually just visited the NABC last week. I saw this. I was just thinking nests might not hold up well in strong winds.

I am sure if it’s brutally cold they would seek a cave or an old mine. The nests were found out on the Olympic peninsula. Cold but not that cold.

They seem to walk through snow like it’s a field of clover, obviously it doesn’t bother them. All wildlife is perfectly home in their environment, which includes rain.

My daughter's boyfriend lives outside of Coquille, Oregon, that is densely forested and has many gravel roads that led to logging sites. One day he and his friend were exploring some of these roadways, and he came to an isolated area where there was a large pile of brush with a door opening so they decided to explore this discovery. He crawled through the doorway of this pile of brush, and he noticed a tunnel going down in the ground. He decided that he would not go down there and explore it. They came out of nestlike structure and an animal was looking at them from about 50 feet away. It was peeking around a tree. They decided that they had better leave the area, and they had about a two mile walk to go back to their car. They hiked along this creek canyon and up along a narrow trail to get back to their car. They headed back up the mountain and this creature began to follow them. Iit was a 100 feet behind them on the trail. It kept following them and they began to hike a little faster so they could get up the hill where their car was parked along the road. Well, this went on for probably a hour, and they finally made it back up the hill to their car. They were terrified and vowed never to go back to that place.

Wow, very interesting! I do realize from the denseness in the forests around Mt St Helens this would be very possible.

The Olympic Project has reams of information on the nest sites they discovered and several of their members have appeared on Bigfoot and Beyond.  The link to their website has been updated in the Recommended Websites on the Forums' homepage.
