Has Technology Helped or Hindered Our Quest in Finding Bigfoot?

Has technology helped or hindered? It's done both.

 

I'm a huge believer in using a thermal imager. It's better than seeing during the day because at night a sasquatch may let down its guard a bit. It feels safe because the little hairless ones have never been able to see in the dark before. It is transformative.

 

Technology can be a hindrance especially when you're humping power banks, smart phones, audio, and video equipment on your back. Uh oh, I forgot to recharge the batteries and the power bank is only at 25%!  Did I bring the USB to USB connector? They can be an enormous distraction.

 

Hopefully, we can stay focused on what's important by controlling it rather than the oppsite. In the end, we're not going to get that glimpse or hear that distant howl if we're fiddling with electronics.

 

 

I know your pain!

 

How many times have you been on the side of a mountain... at night... fumbling with chargers and cords... trying to check your battery status on a recorder without laying your thermal down into the mud...and in the middle of it all realize that you need a piece of gear that is currently buried deep within your pack?  Oh, and it looks like an unexpected storm is now moving in.

 

Ghost hunters don't know how easy they have it.

I'm loving my new FLIR. Definitely gives me a sense of security in the dark. Audio recorders are good, and my phone takes nice video. I need to figure out my small drone. Tech can give us an advantage and I'm all for that in the woods, where they have all the advantages!
