WSA Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 One of these days, you know they gotta get goin'...out of the door and down to the street all alone. Only so much you can accomplish at a keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguefooter Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 ^I'll wait for technology to get a bit cheaper before I go out specifically to find one. I want it well documented and a high end thermal seems the best way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DWA Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 ^^There's a lot of "windshield surveying" you can do in the meantime; a high-end thermal won't get the quarry if you're not in the right place. Go low-tech first and stake out likely spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I would like to buy a FLIR if the price is ever right. I have no use for trail camera's as I am not trying to keep them away. I think LCB is spot on with his Tascam recorder because I think that is a great 1st piece of equipment. I am pretty low tech in the woods, no fancy camera, no camo, just eyes and ears. A parabolic would be nice though. Can anyone tell me how to post a picture to this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darrell Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 ^Maybe the first piece of equipment should be a $1000 camera. Get rid of the blobsquatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmaker Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 One of these days, you know they gotta get goin'...out of the door and down to the street all alone. Only so much you can accomplish at a keyboard. I do as much as I can and where I can. I have spent two weeks since May on vacation. Vacation for me is visiting a location and hiking some days from sun up until dinner time. May was the Sierras and a few weeks ago was the upper bruce peninsula in ontario. In between outdoor vacations, I hike weekly in a 1 - 2 hour radius from my home. I live in Ontario, some people have this notion that Ontario is Squatchy. I disagree. But I enjoy being in the outdoors. I'd wager I'm outdoors quite a bit more than some of the proponents here. I'm just not seeing anything when I'm out there. But to be fair, I don't really consider the areas terribly remote. But as we all know, claims to semi-urban Bigfoots are common and believed by many...so.....

Guest SDBigfooter Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Darrell, Because everyone has a $1000 camera? I got a GoPro over 6 months ago and have gotten some really good videos. I missed the best opportunity while in mexico reeling in a giant Corvina during a Grunion run during the day. I got lots of good shots but my big video was missed (I blame my cousin but Oh well). Also, charging betteries is a real pain. Being ready isn't as easy as it sounds. And this is something that has never been publicly well shot before....for a good reason I am guessing???? Also, you are right, we landed on the moon over 40 years ago. 40 years ago??? What else since then? I'm sorry but I am not impressed by what we have accomplished since then. Maybe you are just joking trying to get a rise out of people. You say: To land on the moon means we should be able to get bigfoot proven. I say: To prove bigfoot is to prove massive coverup.

Guest DWA Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I'm not sure landing on the moon and bigfoot have anything to do with each other. 40 years after, we still think some of the silliest things...and don't pursue some of the most obvious. Technology doesn't seem to change people much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darrell Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Why does it have to go to a massive cover up? This is why some of us skeptics get a little fed up. You are trying to validate your position with theories why you cant find a bigfoot. It always comes down to a govt cover up. World wide in scope.

Here is the minimum you should have if you want to call yourself a serious researcher: Thats maybe $10K if you are carefull and dont buy everything new at MSRP. Thats too much you say? Dont go to a couple of bigfoot conferences this year and skip a vacation. Maybe this is what Meldrum should have and not be spending $100K on a hot air balloon.

Many people don't have a 10K car parked in their driveway. Add to this: Camping gear Fuel GPS/Maps Food Dental resin It adds up quick. The reality of the situation is that people are not going to buy Zeiss or Steiner bino's, but 99 dollar Walmart specials. And use their Iphone to take pictures. Besides I'm not calling anyone serious about solving the mystery, if they do not pack a rifle or offensive firearm (not a defensive pistol.......doesn't count) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
