Transcript

Today, I want to tell you about a journey that I've been on for most of my life. Ever since I was a kid, I've heard tales of bigfoot and wild men while spending time with my friends and family. As I grew older and read more about the paranormal, my interest in encryptids and other things strange only deepened. That's why I'm so excited to share with you

what I've personally become involved with the Untold Radio Network. The Untold Radio Network is a live streaming podcast network that airs a new show every day across all podcast platforms, YouTube, and more. They have eight different shows on all sorts of exciting topics such as bigfoot, cryptids, UFOs, aliens, and much more. I even have my own show called Weird Encounters, where I talk about all things strange. This is more than just a podcast network.

It's a community that allows me to meet so many amazing people who share their stories and experiences with strange. If you're interested in hearing more of these stories and learning more about the paranormal and encryptids, make sure you check out the Untold Radio Network for all kinds of exciting shows. It's free to subscribe. So what are you waiting for visit www dot untold radionetwork dot com. Today, everybody, this is Less Strive. Yes, yes I know aka Survivor

Man. And you're listening to Brian on sasquatch Otisen. Hey then, and welcome back to Sasquatchis. Thank you so much for being with us for the show. It is Friday. I hope you've had a great week. We have an amazing show lined up for you. But as always, I want to start by inviting you. If you've had an encounter and you'd like to be on shoot me an email. You can get me at Brian at Parentimoworldproductions dot com. Get head over there, check out the website, become a

member and help support the show as promised. This is round two of the Bigfoot round table that we had last week over on the Sasquatch out of see YouTube channel. If you guys would like to see the video, it is up over there for you to view. Now. This is part two, the conclusion of our amazing conversation with all of our esteemed guests over there. I hope you guys have enjoyed it as much as I did. So, without further ado let's get right into it. All you have to do is

sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. I definitely agree with that great question RPG no pressure, Tim, But it is now time for your question. How are you going to top RPG Subterranean Sasquatch? Wait a minute, I think Joe's got something to say here. Okay, guys, We're so sorry, but we're actually in Mothman territory right now up here in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. We're doing some work and the men in black are getting ready to yank us out of this room, so we've got to jet.

I'm so sorry that we got to go. It's that will never be seen again. We love you guys, See you, guys. I had one more quick thought about sub training sasquest before we move on really quickly. It is something I forgot to mention, and this is just goes anecdotally to the idea of using underground or hidden places. So a couple of years ago, Seth and some of the rest of the STM crew they interviewed a guy in Pennsylvania who had an experience that he believed the sasquatch inside of an abandoned

a turnpike tunnel. So throughout Pennsylvania there's a bunch of these abandoned highway tunnels that are literally in the middle of nowhere. I might be going to some of them soon. You may see a video on that, just putting that out there. One of these ones which is now actually used for some kind of race car testing. At the time when the guy had the siding in the early two thousands, so he was a backpacker and he was hiking in

this area and we have the interview with him on YouTube. He was inside one of thesennels because the trail happen across. Oh, let's check it out. And they were using it for salt storage at the time for winter. And they're in the middle of this tunnel and they say they heard what found like wood falling, and then they got roared at by something that was just unbelievable. They felt it vibrating their chest. The stereotypical kind of experience somebody

has, which I've heard a dozen times. Basically, even my buddy Brian in the chat hadn't encounter roared at. You feel it vibrating the chest. So that was an interesting one. And now, of course that tunnel is being it's privately owned and it's being used for race car testing. But I think if that indeed was a sasquatch, which we don't know if it was, but the guy seemed to believe it was, maybe that just goes to the opportunistic thing, maybe moving through a tunnel and somebody happens to go in

there by accident. So just something I forgot to add. And during my initial point about subtraining sasquatch. So RPG, you got us rolling on this topic. Can I drop in real quick? But first of all, this is wonderful. I hang with kids all day, so to be around you,

gentlemen, I wish we all would cloth he'd be really rad. So in down low frequency sound, if anyone can answer it is, I think that would be optimal down there because if you have this gap and then there's a large cave on the other side that's been blocked or whatever, you'd be able to use that sound. So if we're in the cave system, because they have tech now that it's down a five hundred bucks, you can get

a mobile unit that you can attach to your computer and actually record. I'm right on the fence of getting one, right But using that in the tunnels, you pick that up, or even just pick that up in the woods in a place where there's no gators, there's no hippos, there's you know what I mean, you're in the sitting or whatever. Boom, you just found another angle for proving the existence of an unknown animal. So I'm really

fascinated about bringing infrastuand down there. I think in terms of consumer reach, that's the closest we're going to get the big pack at this point. But yeah, infrasound is where I would like the experiment and dabble with, so any advice from any of you gentlemen would be much appreciated. Joe and Jesse from All That Holler have one of those portable units. It's a nice size little unit. It's not too big. It's really easy to move around.

Also, there was recently this scientist life and husband team in Africa. They wrote a paper this was like end of last year, which I read having a little back and forth with them about it. But they basically nonchalantly said that they believe that gorillas have produced infrasonic vocalizations that they called the berry White effect, which I came across this paper, and I think I probably shared it to Mike and Shane at some point in the group chat. I don't

remember. I know it's been a while since I shared it, but yeah, it was very It was nonchalant. They basically said they believe that male gorillas create a Barry White effect which affects the female gorillas with infersonic vocalizations, which kind of interesting because the only other primates to my knowledge, were the lesser, really small ones that might have used infrasound. It wasn't really known. But yeah, that was I can link that article. I think I

have it somewhere if somebody's curious or wants to read about it. They just nonchalant they messaged it. I'm like, hey, slow down, can we talk about thistle more. You can't just throw Barry White out and mic drop and leave the room. Man, you gotta go in that detail question, what are you was searching for Barry White or for the this infrasound stuff? That's the best thing said, Yeah, I love that, Thank you. I can't wait to read that. Some of the very briefly, and I

noticed a comment in chart that was very intriguing to me. What do you guys think of this? Oh? Do you think that the underground is where they take the ones that die. That's an interesting question. They have to go a long way and why we don't find the bodies. But in actuality, if they were taking him into caves, it would be a lot easier for us to find the bones because they would probably fossilize in a cave and be there for us to get later on down the line. But I don't

know. Do we want to go around the horn and answer that really quickly? Yeah, let's start with OURPG. Let him go there. I think they give the body to the porcupine gods, and the porcupines devour and eat that thing damn quick. Combined with the rest of the forest and the way basically rain becomes acid and melts it down. I think it's a very quick turnaround for the most part, and they would know that. But is anything

possible? Do they have a giant burial elephant slash bigbook graveyard down there? And sure? And I hope Alec finds it and he calls us all immediately and goes get your ass here because it's gone. I'm definitely flying in for that, What say you, Shane? Yeah, I don't think they haven't need the barrier. The porcupine guyz that was awesome. Yeah. I do a lot of shed hunting, and I recently was out looking for sheds,

and then it's amazing how quickly animals will tear apart a shed. I've already noticed a shed that could be a four pointer and it's been nibbled on its slowly, and before long it'll be gone. Bones are the same way as RPG said. The acidity and the soil and the rain and the deep dark places where I think these things go and pass away with like a dog or a cat, any animal that knows the wrong our way out that's injured, they're gonna find a spot where they're not gonna be tested with. They're not

gonna be eaten alive. They want to die peacefully. I kind of think Sashquat's are the same way. And then nature takes over. I've seen elk carcases disappear in the span of a couple of days, just completely gone off. The animals are dragging them away and eating. But where the bones go. Yeah, so everything, especially with the forests and stuff, they just nature takes care of it real quick. It's just natural. Anybody else have anything on that before we move on to Tim's question, Go ahead, Alex,

Yeah, just got I would agree with Shane. I think a good example of this is the largest supposed ape in history, right, which is the Gigantopithecus, which Grover Krantz believed might be a likely candidate for sasquatch. Obviously, that's a classic theory. It's not a new one by any beans, but that ape gigantic supposedly right, very closely related to rank tanks, at least from what we think now, in the pongid kind of line.

The only fossil evidence we have that it even existed were some teeth and some bone fragments, and that was because they were in caves, and porcupines ate the rest of the bones. But these apes lived in those kind of the bamboo forests and that very kind of tropical area in southern China and into what's now Indo China Vietnam allows those kinds of areas. Those are environments where fossilization doesn't really happen unless you're in a specific circumstance like a cave, which would

preserve fossils. And in this case, the only reason those bones were even in there is because occupines dragged some of them in there and we're eating the rest, and I guess that's all that was left, at least from my knowledge of it. So I think if that were going on, we probably would have found some kind of evidence of that. In North America. Maybe the thing to look at is you can get online. You can find the information out on the forensic science body farms where they actually go out and state

different types of bodies out in the field and how they decompose. There's plenty of studies on that, and even our ancestors that they are finding in the caves. You're finding actually three and four different sections of the lineage stacked on top of each other in some of these cave systems. That's a big thing

there is really take a look again, getting outside the box. It's not always the big foot subject that we're going to find our answer, and when you really need to take a look at some of that forensic science stuff that's out there for the data collection. If you're not too weak a heart or stomach, check some of the body farm stuff out because some of those videos are out there and they use those things for a lot of forensic science stuff. Very good point. Tim Howard off the hook, My friend, what

is your question for the great so convinced? Are you that something exists? Bigfoot sasquatch, whatever you want to call it, And if it's not one, what makes you doubt on those days? Because I know, Brian, you know I've talked about those days. Five out of seven days you think exist and the other two days you question it. So that's my question for the group questions two part. Let's go straight to Mike. We'll just go

around the horn here. Mike, I'm about four days out of the week that it's not real, and three days of the week I am on the real side of things. What keeps me going is the friends that I've met and talked to about their experiences and some of the stuff that's come to me through some folks, folks like Joe that I've sat there listened to him, my buddy Ray and talking to the guys that were with him when he had his sighting. They had a full team of military guys that had their sighting.

And those guys have come to me individually telling me they're going to, you know, let me know about the story about what happened. Swearing on their families, their jobs, their careers and putting that on the line. Those sightings, those reports keep me going. Then when I'm about ready to walk away, something in the universe gets slapped in my face. And I won't call it the WU stuff, but the things are there. Alex and I were just down in Florida and had some friends come across stuff. But

it's the hunt. And then you have gentlemen like Daniel working on the DNA thing, you know, the science experiments that are coming out there, or Shane and his crew up there up north and what they keep coming across. Shane and I have talks about what they have with their nests, and we've seen duplicate things like that on the East coast. So when the data points hit, it keeps me going. But then there's days you're out in the

woods and you're like nothing's happened. And I spend quite a few weeks a year in the woods, either up here in the northeast or down to the southeast, and it just, I don't know, it just keeps me going. But like I said, there's three out of the four days a week. But again, it's some witnesses that I've seen that you can tell have had some sort of traumatic experience that I'm on the hunt to see if maybe

who can help prove them. And I got a background in archaeology and apology as well law enforcement, so investigations and that data points are so important to me. Excellent, sir, what say you, Shane? One hundred percent the real living, breathing entity out in the woods are in parts of North America. Absolutely, Even if I didn't have my two nighty experience, which actually I saw this thing, I probably ninety percent that they were real.

But now it's not in the question. The question for me is how many are there out there? Where are they going, what are they doing, what are they eating? How do they survive? Did they cross the barren strait the land bridge? Those are the questions I have Now I've spoken as like I said, hundreds of witnesses over the years, from all walks of

life. They described the same thing that I experienced, and in which as I've had over the years, I don't have them all the time, very rarely, but you come across pristine trapped impression out there near middle of nowhere, and it's not just one. There's you have the hair that's been identified as primate hair that lacks in the duel, it's primate hair is and it's got those red pingmentations aren't even microscope as we're talking about earlier about red the

sineming color till there's no doubt if they're vibe. I think the problem with a lot of skip anybody to speak to, mic, I just don't think there's that many of them out there. I really don't. I don't think there needs to be. You look into a lot of primate non human primates, great age, so they don't need huge number. They really don't. The tap of newly orangutang, discovered in Indonesia in twenty seventeen, blew Western

sciences mind. They had no idea you, over two hundred years of studying great apes, that there was this five hundred orangutang in this one area that the Aborigines, that the people that lived there knew about. They've been talking about it. Yeah they're there in Western science and Nope, there's no way. Then a skull comes forward, and then you an expedition. I've funded expedition to this area and lo and behold, there is a whole new species

on the rangutang. What is the Native Americans been saying here in North America? The First Nations and the yeah, the Sasquats are there. Yeah, what is Western find say? No, it's impossible. They will be proven wrong one day, and people like your Jeff Meldrem's and your John Benner Nagles and you're John Manzinski and all these times will be vindicated. But I think it's just it's a number of thing. I just don't think there's that many

out there. They generally avoid people like the play, and so when you have an experience or an encounter, it's an amazing thing. But as an investigator and researcher, mind bikes to people is I don't do so much like

ambulance chasing. If there's a report somewhere, unless it's got some directly involved with what the Olyn project is doing, or it's an area of interest that's awesome, or unless it's really fresh, I'll take notes of that, But I think it's more important to stay in one area where something has occurred,

whether you've had a signing or there've been a lot of reports. If they've been there once, chancells I'll to come back at some point in time, and you just need to learn that environment, figure out the travel corridors, figure out the food, figure out the weather pattern, and maybe you'll try gold one day. I love these answers. This is why you guys are absolutely the best panel, because everybody comes at this from a little bit of

a different perspective. I absolutely love it. Alex, Yeah, this is a complex question. I think a lot of people grapple with. I think a lot of it's personal base that you talk to somebody like Shane who's had an experience. I've been to his sighting location, He's taken me there, we've camped there. I don't see why something like this wouldn't exist in an area like that. It's the mount Hood Wilderness. It's beautiful, right.

I know plenty of other people I've talked to. I've had the luck now to travel basically all across North America to look into this phenomena and see all the different types of environments, whether the swamps down south, the Appalachians, the rocky mountains of Canada, Alaska, whatever. Do I think they're in all these environments? Maybe not. I think some are probably more conducive than

others. Drive from the east coast to Alaska, like I did last summer, and you'll just be it's frightening how much land is still up in, especially in northern Canada and into Alaska, that nobody's there. Everyone in Canada's up by the border. And over the years, I've never had a sighting,

so I can't say one hundred percent. I lean very highly to that there is something, whatever it is, there is something going on that causes people for hundreds of years, from different walks of life, from the highest education levels to the lowest education levels to no education levels, that are describing almost the same exact types of encounters that to me speak to some kind of

consistency of behavior that would indicate a species. If you go anywhere in the world and run into people, they have the same types of behaviors generally,

right. There may be cultural or ethnic differences, but we're still a uniform species, right, So you have these things over Recently, I spent a bunch of time looking at reports from British Columbia from the twenties and the thirties and going back earlier when I was doing a British Columbia film after I traveled there and I was running into these stories that you could put these up on Bigfoot Society, on Jeremiah's podcast, or on your podcast today, Brian.

And they sound like so many of the encounters I've heard today. Yet this was way before the Internet, way before there was ever a bigfoot or Sasquatch topics. Yeah, I think again. I haven't had a sighting myself. I've had a couple of experiences, a handful that I would describe as potential behavior. I couldn't say one way or another that there are one hundred percent

sasquatch. But when you have what sounds like rocks being thrown at you and wood knocking type noises in the middle of a remote location in Alaska, that you know there's nobody else there, it becomes difficult to square that away. Not to say it could be wrong, but there's something going on. I couldn't tell you what it is. I'm just here to speculate, as I think all of us are. We don't know the answers. But to those that have had an experience, and I know many people like Shane that have,

I believe they had an experience. Mike talked about Joe. He had a very interesting experience as well, yeah, I guess to wrap it up, I do think there is something out there. There's something that's causing these experiences people across the continent that are having eerily similar encounters. That just defies logic. Why would they make up the same Why isn't there somebody seeing a bigfoot dressed as a clown or something. If they're already making up these weird

details, why are these so consistent in a way. So, yeah, that's my take on it all. Very well said last but not least RPG. You guys basically said it, uh finding Bigfoot. One of my favorite jobs is when I would just sit there at the door and every single person coming to the town hall would come through me, and not everyone will be brave enough to get up and tell their story. You better damn believe they

tell me the story. And so I just sat there unknowingly at first, being like, holy coow, this is the greatest collection of stories like ever. They're coming to me and I'm getting paid for this, Holy crap. So I would agree with everyone saying, you're telling me thousands of people are all just desperate for attention. Thousands of people got drunk enough to come lie to me. Thousands of people are classically trained Juliart actors and actresses waiting to

bs me. That should at least make you go. And then I'd yet to meet a Native American tribe that doesn't have them in their oral history. I know we're meant to not see them and they meant to be invisible, but guess what they're not. And their foundation of wisdom is much older than mine. So once again, why wouldn't you believe that? And on top of that, yeah, just do a deep dive tonight on federal tracks of

land and tell me that is not a game preserved for whatever. There could be dinosaurs out there, and occasionally Petrick Dacko flies out and one of us is lucky enough to take our head out of our butt a gere phone, look up and record it. Because I don't know about you, guys. I've had real experiences where I saw UFO in LA and I love UFOs. I love all this stuff. It's the coolest, most exciting thing ever. And I denied it three times in a row to my buddy. Now it's

just a plane because I was sucked into my phone like an idiot. And that's me. Ever since that day you say something weird, I'm on it. But even I was like no, So I got used to lifeguard and that one time I had to make the big save everything when it was like your journalin kicks and everything's different. I don't know, man, It's very hard to have a coherent moment when a miracle happens in front of you, but it's also completely memorable and something you can never shake. And when these

people tell me those stories, I don't know. I don't know. I just I lean to it. And I've seen some stuff. I've had class A sightings that were brief. I'm not going to say one hundred percent because I haven't had the frame it where it just walks in front of me and I just I just want to call my mom and tell her I love her

and she did a good job raising her son. But I've also deep dove on all of the greatest footage, and I firmly believe that if we are brilliant enough to think of it, then we are brilliant enough to fake it. And so that kind of that will always give me that one percent until I have my Patty. That's it, Mike Drop. Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see We'll be right back. After these messages, I think I'm definitely right there with you. As Tim said, he and I have

had these conversations in the past, I've shifted a little bit. I used to be about five days out of seven. Now I'm about six and a half days out of seven certain that something's there. And I tell you it was because of some of the experiences that I've had Kierro on Ireland, and then when I went up to Radium. I don't know what was throwing rocks at me eighteen miles deep in the woods when nobody else was around. I don't know what was making the wood knox. I don't know what was making

those vocalizations unless it was a sasquatch. But again, I think I'll have to hold out just a little bit. My brain just will not allow me to one hundred percent commit until I see it for myself. So I don't know what about you, Dan, I think half days a week, I'm yeah, absolutely real, half days a week. I have no idea. Possibly not. I haven't had a experience myself, but I was in the library yesterday and I was sat for probably about two hours reading through history books

looking for any kinds of history of these eight feet tall wild man. Let's say, and we found a few things that kind of increased me a bit more. And I think going to the States, I think there's more of a chance in some of the states over in America. In the UK, I'm probably five percent that there's some I don't think so, but there is some weird stuff going on here. I think it again depends on where you

are in the world, can define where these creatures are. Say, if you're in Washington, I think, yeah, absolutely so, Yeah, I'm right there with you, my friend, Mike, you get the honor of the last question of the day for the panel man. What say you? What's your question for us? What gets you guys to pick your location outside of the report? What draws you to a location? Very good, simple

question. Let's start at the top. I think I know Shane's answer, but let me go ahead and go to Shane first and letting him start, and we'll go around the horn on this one. Yeah, Ryan, you're probably right. With the Inlymic project. For example, this nest study are we've been working in was an area that we had picked out. We were led there and then subsequently, having come across some stuff, we decided to set up base. This is spot. We've been at it since twenty fifteen,

in this one location. It's a very vast area and getting brilliant further out. Obviously, like we said, beside sightings and stuff. I like remote areas, but it's got to be also within reason, because we'd all love to be out there in the middle of nowhere doing this stuff all the time. But it takes time travel and so you got to live within your means. I'm up in western Washington to get up in the Olympics, it takes me to a half hour that go as much as I can, But

I have spots closer to home that are very valuable. But what I look for is just usually try to find a fairly remote area, and on top of that real quick. It doesn't have to be a remote area their sasquatch reports right upside talents even backsim Seattle, Washington. But I just like those areas where I get away from humans and less contamination, less chance of being

fulled or hoped. Those are big things for me. I like to find those areas where you always hear people go oh no, one's ever been here. If you're there, someone might have been there. But I like to get down to an area where the chance of someone been there is unlikely, or it's unlikely they've been there in a while, and it's unlikely they'll go there. There's we don't opt to walk, wood, food, water sources. I like elevation changes, mountains. I really do believe Sasquatch is utilizing

a lot of these mountains. I've taken too many reports where it's going up a hill and they're watching this thing, and it gets up there so quick, and then when you try to follow it, you're stumbling over stuff, you're tripp in. You can't. It's just a quick escape. Even the necessary wherein there's quick escape routes, very sharp drops that it'll take me twenty minutes to get down and pry these things mere seconds. So it's areas where

there's a lot of cover, food sources, obviouste elevation changes. I mean I look for no animals. Can a bears arrive here? You know, a mountain line, a deer and elk? Sometimes you know the best areas are where there are no reports because it obviously takes a human and a sashquatch. Right, just because there's no reports from one area doesn't mean there's no

sashquatch. Just means maybe nobody's going there and no one's seen one yet, you know, So it's really getting down and find you know, like these burgon areas. I think that those are important. More people that instead of going Ferrea where there's been a day report, start looking outside the box. Thinging outside the box, listening how to come from somewhere, and let me look at the map. There's no campgrounds here, Oh, it's just or

if it's there's a creek, there's a river, there's a lake. Yeah, that's what I do, and a lot of the Link Project members do. But a lot of cases were led to a location. Not so much now we have pre areas. I mean, we don't really get out of those areas. We love them too much and they seem to produce periodically, so sometimes it is led there. But yeah, well I hope that worked for you, Mike, thank you. Yep. What about you, Alex?

Yeah, that's a great question. So I think I've got like a multi tiered approach to this because if I'm home here in the state of New Hampshire and clip Berrickman likes to say the best place is to go bigfooting or to do your research. Are the ones that are easy to get to, right it's accessible. You're trying to do in and out all the time twice a week, especially during COVID during the initial kind of lockdowns, I was going out to an area that I had had some experiences in almost every day

and it was something that I could drive to after work. I'm here in a sure it's the second most forested state in the US after neighboring Maine. We've just got a lot of connected to Canada, millions of acres of woods. But when I'm around here, I look at, Okay, can this

habitat support moose? As there are thousands of moose running around largest animal in North America basically, and I see a lot of other places that have moose, And that's a biological metric I like to look at just because you're if it's supporting a seven to seven hundred to one thousand pound animal and there's hundreds of them running around, I think it might be able to support the other ones, the smaller ones, anything from sasquatch size to bears and then down

from there. Of course, you need to have somewhat of a health ecosystem, so I guess locally, that's my approach. I look for those sorts of biological metrics. Obviously, water sources up here. You don't have to go very far without finding a creek or a pond or a river. There's a lot of water sources. It'd be different in a place, say out west, where it's a little dryer, maybe in the Rocky mountains or something.

But when it's like my beyond the Trail approach that I've been doing now since twenty twenty one, that's dependent a lot of times I only have three or four days to go to a place. That's not a lot of time. So you've got to work with local researchers. I work with people who have had experience as they take me where it's happened, you know, maybe like I was in the Honey Island Swamp in Louisiana last month. I was there last year as well, around the same time of year, and so

water levels are high, animals are moving in certain corridors. Speaking of corridors, I'll get to that a second. But in the Honey Island Swamp. I went to an area where there's multiple experiences that have happened to people that I had been in contact with, and hey, let's try this out. Let's see if we go in here and find the evidence of anything. And

again, three four days, it's really not a lot of time. I think, typically, like what the Olympic Project does, what other groups have done, setting up more for a long term time period, I think is probably more ideal. But a lot of times when I'm out there filming, I just don't have the time to do that. So I try to take

as much of an approach. But like Mike had mentioned recently, and we were in a corridor area in Florida where buddy of ours, Matt Larson, has been hitting that area for three plus years, and it says this is a choke point where you need to get from point The animals they all move from point A to point B to a larger habit. They have to go through this two mile wide corridor. They have to. So why not focus

on an area like that catch something trying to come through? Yeah? I think again when it comes to what when I select an area, the some multitude of factors, whether if it's something more local, or if I'm being directed there, or if I just sometimes I'll just look on Google Earth and be like, this looks like a great spot and maybe there's no history at all. Shane said, there might not even need to be in new reports. Go check it out, see if it might be viable, and you

never know. Some of the most random potential encounters I've had was backpacking in the high you Wintas of Utah. We're just up in the mountains and suddenly we're getting knocks and stuff happening and weird stuff. We're just trying to get to this lake we're hike in the middle of the night. That's all we're trying to do. So sometimes it can be random like that. But yeah, I don't think there's a set kind of messa, just different. I

think it depends on the locations too. What about you, RPG What drives you to an area for research? In my opinion, they use the river like a water slide and they come cruising down because they can be no humans out there. We're scared to death. They're catching food. I don't know, to them, I think we need to look at them like they are us, like just really not try to put them in any other category and just go what would you do. I'll tell you what I would do if

all of us were hanging in the woods. We're going to have some fun. Son, We're going to have some fun. And I'm going to go, oh yeah, Shane, I bet you can't climb that tree in five seconds, And Shane would be like your mom and then you would go climb that tree in four seconds. I just think if we look at them, because we learn through play, right, they must learn through play. So in my opinion, the younger ones, which I think we're seeing much more

of, especially daytime sighting. When did you sneak out when you were growing up when your parents were asleep? If they predominantly are awake at night sleep during the day, that's when the teens are outrunning. I got this awesome start to a film that I want to share with you guys at some point that you'll appreciate. Coabitations bet because what is it? Okay, let's just

talk about nature for a second. Minimalizing risks, right, because if you get hurt as an apex predator, you're done or you're in severe trouble. So they want to minimalize risk by cohabitating and showing that there is this standard like I always do the same things. I feed the crows, peck my chicken from the hawks. They see that I'm not a threat. I believe I then have a better chance of them slipping up. And we'll call it slipping up. Because we had a gator living on our property for a year

and a half, which is an amazing story. I'd love to get interview. And nobody know what was here, not even the superstar Redneck of the Year two thousand and one, twenty twenty four. He had no idea and it was literally in this tiny little hole rat in his yard, a dinosaur and we didn't know. There's stories of lions in the Serengetti living right with Masai tribes all around them that hunt and kill them for rights of passage.

They don't know they're there because they adapted. Yes, you get lucky here. But now with that said, anybody that is ballsy enough to go real remote, real remote, I want in on that, because I think that's you list into Bobo's first interaction. He just drove on that logging road to the middle of nowhere and just started howling and it didn't take very long for them to show up and be like, now you don't run this town.

Sign, you don't run this town. So I like both. I like finding a really beautiful spot and I wish that for everybody that's into this, and then a group of friends that are balls enough for us to go far and where it's a little scary for us. That's why twos, I'm ready to go on that trip with you. I want to be respectful of everybody's time. Daniel and I had some questions. We're going to table those. We've been going almost an hour and a half. Run did we do tim

I'll make it quick again for the interest of time. I think number one being realistic with yourself. You've got to be able to get to you an area and access it as much as you can. If it's six hours away, how often are you going to be really able to get there. So it's got to be within your time frame where you can get there often, and when you're there, it takes time. You got to become normal in that environment because you've got to be non threatful, threatening, and you've got

to become just like everything else out there. So when you're there the more time it takes time, the more time you're in an area, and that area it's going to be you're just going to be like any other thing in the woods, so you're going to be less threatening. And again it could become to how you prepare yourself or whether they know what firearms are or not. I'm not sure, but I think the reports are interesting because, like Shane said, it takes you got to have a bigfoot, you got to

have a witness. But then you've got that witness has to actually have to report it too. So sometimes reports are great, but then some people aren't even reporting them to hold them in their back pocket. And like any other animal, you would think the food, shelter and one and cover though, so cover again for escape measures and water so that they've got to be around. They've got to if they've got to have things to eat, and they need water, and then they've got to have areas to hide and sleep.

That's where I wouldn't say be the best spots for me. We've closed out the questions. Everybody had excellent answers, obviously excellent questions. It was an amazing discussion, but I want to give everybody a quick opportunity to talk about

what they've got going on, what you guys got coming up. I know you guys have got irons in the fire and appearances, and we want to be respectful and let everybody know where they can catch up with you, where they can see you, where they can go, and let's start at the top there and work our way around with Shane. Go ahead, sir, Yeah, I knew some speaking again, Agent throughout the year. I'm trying to keep it to a minimal because then you're speaking more than you're being in

the woods. I've been trying to really recurvetale some of that. I get the squats best down in January, down in Kelso, Washington. I'll be in Tennessee July, Gatlinburg Junior July. I forget July twenty seventh, the Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Conference. Correct, Yeah, it should be a good one. And then I got a few more Sashquatch, some of the in the

Ocean Shores Washington coming up in November, and a few smaller ones. But mainly it's this time of the year right now, one of my favorite times beyond the woods, this Nestary. I don't want to keep talking about all the time, but it's just fascinating to me. They were discovered in twenty fifteen, the month of May. We think they're being made in February March

every four to five years. We're on that cycle now where we've literally just started getting out in the woods end up showering area for large ground nest or any sign Broklyn Huckleberry that leads to impressions. We've been running a long term audio project down in these areas for a couple of years now, recording every night, cut along every animal, every Chris Bentry's been leading that up and

David Ellis and a few of us. We're just continuing to plug weight in two specific areas in hopes of not just get up on audio and not just buying physical piece of evidence. Right now, we're running a really cool thermal project where we're trying to be able to them nightly for days and if not weeks on end, NonStop. I just said up a therm out there yesterday as an experiment to see how much I'll get out of it with battery life and storage. So after a neat little product we're working on, Yeah,

just plugging away like everybody else awesome, sir. We appreciate that. Alex. I know you've always got a lot of irons in the fire. What can you tell us you got coming up? Man? Yeah, I've got a lot. It's sometimes hard to keep tract of it myself, but yeah, I guess like in events, like Shaane was saying, I don't do

too many. I prefer being out in the woods and doing stuff. But I do have a few this year, doing the International Cryptosology Conference in Maine, which is in April, doing one that him is actually helping them put together down in New Jersey. I think that's in June, tim, but yeah, sometime in June, and then I'm doing the Smoky Mountain one. Also, we've got the small Town Monsters Monsterfest end of June, which Mike is gonna be at as well as a speaker. He's going to do a

cool workshop. I'm doing the Alaska big Foot Crews with RPG, which is really fun. I wouldn't want to do that kind of thing. I love going to Alaska as in September. But aside from the events, and I have some of that on my website if you're curious, petacovmedia dot com. I've got, of course, might be on the Trail series that I've been doing for a few years. I'm gonna be stepping away from that a little

bit, doing it to a little lesser capacity. As I was talking about the minds and the stuff earlier, I'm really on board with this Strange Places series that I'm doing, which is beyond Bigfoot. It's all kinds of other maybe some other paranormal topics a little bit, but mostly weird and interesting locations. So a lot of stuff you can find on the Small Town Monsters website or YouTube channel what I'm up to. But yeah, I've got probably more going on than I can handle. But that's how I like it, so

I wouldn't want it any other way. Love it? Man? What about you? RPG the busiest man in Bigfoot? What you get coming up? Me? Busy? I'm not as busy as Alex. Are you kidding me? I can't even believe he's sitting down. You should be like on location fridging towards Vlast City of Gold. Come on now, which I'm sure he's already dug deep and he's about to do a documentary on we know this.

We know this. You look up, gather up events from the Great floorda Bigfoot conference in June where they were smart enough to bring in a couple of wonderful gentlemen on this panel, and then obviously July Smoky Mountains, Alaska. I'm stoked to get back. Last time I filmed there, it was for a series which was really cool. It's about the plane that went down with a politician and what really happened. That's not the whole story, but the

weather was just changing. And for those of you that been to Alaska, if you're there at the wrong time, you better be a man's man or a woman's woman because it'll kick your butt. But besides that, I'm really excited now that prices on infant isund have come down to really go in that direction because I know I bring it back to academia. But really what we're

talking about is everybody respect everyone because we're all in the pickfoot right. But then there are avenues mine Shafts will call him, that were stated on for the moment, and that's where our guts toll us explore that figure that out. For me. I like in for Son and I'm into the underground now too, So I think if we can all kind of respect that we're all

into the same thing, but we have a different approach. Then it's awesome because it's going to be something somebody says that's like a ghost hunter and you're like, wait, what, I had that experience, and then you start combining things. I just think an open mind is a terrible thing to waste. I just hope to surround myself this year with as many open minded people as possible. And I really hope I can work with Daniel sometime in the

future, because I hear he's a hot shit and a good kid. You've also missed a conference in April. Oh yes, all right, there's more good things coming into the UK. I've signed an NDA, so I'm not allowed to talk about anything. You know that I don't want to get sued

by the Brits. But yeah, we have this awesome little get together and it will be the first time where Ronnie and I really get to sit side by side and talk, which I think is great for public because as you replace me, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be best buds and you shouldn't

lift each other up and learn from each other. Yeah, lots of cool stuff and if anybody, like I said, is going remote remote, whether you're in this chat or any of you guys, and you need a badass dude to join you top of the morning til you here's your paperwork far like the NDA, what about you and Tim Howard? What have you got coming up with? My friend? Oh man, I guess for person, and Foremot says someone here. Now, I'm feverishly trying to get the second volume

of the book complete. I don't even want to put a date on it yet because if I do, I'm gonna I know I'm going to miss the date. So trying to get volume two the big Foot Influencers done. Obviously, our weekly podcast goes out every single Sunday, a part of the Untold Radio Network, which is amazing. A lot of you folks have been on there already and more to come. And then I guess the next event. Alex mentioned one in June that I don't know if I'm really helping, but

I'm just supporting it in North Jersey. And then the next one though, Ohio big Foot Conference. I know mister Brian will be there and I'll look forward Senior there and yeah, just keeping busy. It's a lot of work, but we love it. That's why we're all doing this absolutely. Mike, what about you, sir? I I will be heading Ohio in June for Monsterfest, as Alex said, September, I will be in Whitehall, so those are my two bigfoot events. Alex will be there for white All

as well in June with my co host Christy London. There we'll be doing the Rochester Parafests, a big fundraiser for our local veterans outreach. Then I have my podcast for as my sage, so we're always out doing some paranormal stuff. On the side, I'm going to be pushing a lot more on using panatones and colors. When you guys are talking about what colors did you

see? It's a nice official color. Shane and Alex have seen that, and and Daniel firsthand on how we really can get that information going, and trying to do a deep dive more on UV light and hopefully some of that's going to come out from our experiments last weekend and the swamps of Florida, pumbre u of V stuff, and then of course trying to help our friend Derby there at NC State University. Of course, that hair study time for

folks to put up, shut up, get your samples out. If they're paying for the samples to be tested, we want to know about that DNA. Send that stuff to Derby because he's got all that information going. I just sent a whole bunch of known animal samples to him. So got with some taxi ermists and said stuff out to them. So folks should say, can't pay for it. They're paying the bill. So trying to help network our friends. That's my big thing right now, collect as much data.

That's where I'm at. So we had Ohio and then Whitehall are my two big ones in the Rochester Veri Fest. So awesome Darby Orcutt right here in my home state of North Carolina doing some fantastic stuff. Daniel, what about you, sir? What have you got coming up? As I mentioned with RFG in April, we've got the VIP Bigfoot Bash with RPG there, Ronnie LeBlanc and Runner Holland hit here in the UK. Can't wait for that. And then I will be at the Great Florida Bigfoot Conference in O'calla in June.

Can't wait. And then we have the big conference coming up here in July Brian you as our guest headliner that quipped the conference UK. So my kind of three big conferences this year and a few others coming up, and then i have obviously my Mythical Legends podcast, and then I've got my new book out, My Bigfoot Life. Yes, I'm everywhere excellent. I will be at the Ohio Bigfoot Conference. I'll be hanging out with Cliff Berrickman there.

Cliff actually wrote the forward to my new book, Sasquatch Unleashed the truth behind the legend. It is everywhere. You can get it anywhere you get books. You can get it directly from us if you get a Paranormal Wardproductions dot com. We're selling some autograph copies there and we got some cool book bundles. I will be there. I'll be in Okala at the break Florida Bigfoot Conference. I will be up in the Smoky Mountain Conference as well.

I'll be all over the place. I think we've got like ten or twelve events through the rest of the year. You guys can go check all of that out at Paranormal World Productions dot com. I appreciate everybody here. I thank you guys so much for taking time out of your busy schedules to be with us. This was one of the most awesome Bigfoot round tables I have ever been a part of. You got something before we get out of here,

Daniel are on. Thank you to everyone in the chat, and thank you for everyone here on the panel for making this happen and it's been amazing. Something that I will mention is every month this will be happening with loads of different people. Hope that it's both me and Brian hosting together. So every month this will be happening.
