NatFoot Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I'm currently watching Expedition Unknown with Josh Gates on an episode looking for Mammoth bones and DNA. During his travels to Siberia he asks the researcher what wildlife lives out there and they bring up the Russian Bigfoot and make a joke about one wanting to mate with Josh. However, it begs a good question. The Siberian wilderness is the biggest untouched wilderness in the world making up 10% of Earth's landmass. If they exist, they must exist there and it would make sense our own BF came from there. So...any Americans or Canadians partnering with Russians for Siberian missions to document and/or preferably kill one? I'd think the red tape around a kill there might be less than what we'd have here in the US as well. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the same chase in Russia/Siberia as it is anywhere, very difficult, especially with their vast terrain. The comment about mating with one brought to mind Robert Crumb. I remember reading his comics, including the ones about his female sasquatch fantasies. He was a very deranged man but his art and humor really resonated in the 70s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatFoot Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 True. You could say our chase is easier than theirs in the respect to vastness of the wilderness. ...thanks for the pics, I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldMort Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Crumb was a great artist. Check out Mr. Natural etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson-Gimlin Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I would venture a guess that it is much more difficult. The conditions are atrocious. The difficulty of getting to the so called hot spots has to be quite an undertaking. I would like to participate in an expedition there myself. I am a fan of that show as well.

Arvedis Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Crumb was completely obsessed with big gals. If you can track down the female Sasquatch comics he did, they are hilarious. Edited November 29, 2018 by Arvedis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incorrigible1 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Read up on the conditions and travails of the 1927 investigation of the Tunguska event. Primitive, to say the least. Mosquitoes, mud, weather, and difficulties beyond belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Razumov Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 The Almas were heavily studied by the Soviets: http://alamas.ru/eng/e_publ.htm http://alamas.ru/ "The Struggle for Troglodytes" is Boris Porshnev's half of " L’Homme de Néanderthal est toujours vivant" https://www.isu.edu/media/libraries/rhi/essays/PORSHNEV-FORMATTED.pdf The work of Marie-Jeanne Koffmann:https://www.isu.edu/media/libraries/rhi/research-papers/Koffmann_2.pdfhttps://www.isu.edu/media/libraries/rhi/research-papers/Koffmann_1.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison5716 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I would imagine the logistics of supplying such an expedition would be both complicated and expensive. Thinking about everything that could go wrong on such a remote adventure is daunting. However, I am coming to the belief, based upon my own experiences and (moreso) of researchers in the local area, maybe the bf's are both close in and far out. Maybe Russian almas are similar? I wonder how we could find folks there similar to us here in our interests? Fun to think about. Bet you could explore Alaska or anywhere in the Canadian North easier if you wanted remote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
