ShadowBorn Posted March 27, 2015 Moderator Share Posted March 27, 2015 Just thinking ,I mean really thinking! Jumping from a plane into the middle of the forest. Map, provisions,camera equipment have on hand during jump. Jump with dog- make contact with them and document. You will be on their turf and have to deal with them one on one. Make out alive we would have live documented creatures or beings that are in our forest roaming. Jumping into an area where they are, would be a good way of making contact with them.

Guest Crowlogic Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Why risk your life on something like parachuting into a forest to uncover something that most likely isn't there. A much better solution is to approach some of the "researchers" who find bigfoot where they search and get gifts and all kinds of signs from the bigfoot. Surely something can be arranged with those folks to actually deliver the goods to the world that they are so blessed to encounter. Jumping out of a plane is kinda Todd Standing drama and the same can safely be accomplished by a weeks worth of hiking on the ground. But supposing one is bent on doing the jump, exactly where can you jump to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogluddite Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I'll defer to BobbyO's first hand experience, but I always understood that the object was to avoid the trees in jumping. Of course, that was fairly easy to do where I jumped in my much, much younger days (my uncle's Samuel's school for wayward boys in Georgia and El Paso, Texas). Seriously, though, it takes above-average training and skills to jump into a forested area. Just ask D.B. Cooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Fairly new to this forum, have been lurking a couple of years though. At any rate, it's not very difficult to see just how many people have no clue, and probably have never even been in a truly wild area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigantor Posted March 28, 2015 Admin Share Posted March 28, 2015 You would be a fool to parachute jump into thick canopy, even if you knew there were Bf in the area. You probably would be severely injured during the attempted landing. Most jumpers, and I know many, make sure there is a clearing for the landing.

VAfooter Posted March 28, 2015 Admin Share Posted March 28, 2015 One problem (there are many) with jumping into trees is that your trip could end about 100 feet higher, or more, than what you intended. Good luck with that... There are very good reasons most jumpers avoid trees like the plague. Now if you are talking about jumping into a clearing in a forest, well maybe. But it is my understanding that unless it is pretty large, most jumpers do not have the experience, training, or equipment to target it successfully.

OldMort Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Why on earth would anyone put their life at risk by jumping into a wilderness area? In California for example, even the most remote wilderness areas are at maximum a three or four day trip from the nearest road or trailhead. If you are healthy or brave enough to risk jumping out of a plane, then surely you are fully capable of accessing an area by foot or on horseback.

ShadowBorn Posted March 29, 2015 Moderator Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Ok, ok I get it ! Bad idea about the jumping. There is always repelling from a copter into an area. pack enough and then some and save weight and time on hiking in and out. Shoot specimen recall copter for pick up. Then keep secret that a specimen has been taken so that media does not get involve. Do proper analyst of specimen and make it not about money. Once every thing has been confirmed like, Reports written and DNA analyzed - Then announce the outcome of what the findings are to why they exist- .

Guest JiggyPotamus Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 You could always just hike in.. My first thought too, haha. But then I imagined that the reason for the jumping is to negate the possibility of the bigfoot scattering. I mean think about it like this: if you are going into an area where the bigfoot happen to be, surely they will know you are approaching. But then again, what would stop them from scattering once you hit the ground and started hiking around? That would leave a very small window for documenting them, IF you could even see them. Unlikely, especially considering you would have to find them first. Plus, it is not as if the jumper would crash a huge bigfoot party, where there are hundreds of them sitting around in a circle or anything. I want to clarify that I am not making fun of your idea by the way. I think I get what you were going for. But when you weigh the potential risks with the potential benefits, you're better off just going in on foot, really quietly. Not to mention that you will still have to hike around to find them, AND you would have more opportunities for contact if you hiked in. As you scan a particular piece of ground, you at least know there are not any bigfoot there. Process of elimination!!! lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
