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

Kyle's been on the show before, but as you know, he was with me on my trip to Radium up in BC, Canada last October, and he had a couple of experiences the year before that when he was out there alone that I brought Kyle back to tell you about. I think you're really going to enjoy this. But we'll get into all of that in just a second. I am fresh off the Ohio Bigfoot Conference. I just got

back a couple of days ago. Had an amazing time out there, hanging out with Cliff Bergman, Matt Pruitt, doctor Jeff Meldrum, Darby Orcutt, Adam Davies, Doug Hicheck, the legendary Don Keating was there, all kinds of amazing people that I met. Mark Derwerth is the one who puts on that conference. He does a fantastic job. So if you've never been to

the Ohio Bigfoot Conference, I highly recommend it. I got to hang out with Cliff on Saturday and we sold a ton of books there, but I did have him sign a limited number of those books and I brought those back, so we have those available on the website.

They're not going to last very long. But enough of that, I know you guys are ready to get into it. Kyle's on the line, He's ready to go. All this love for you to do is sit back, relax, end, enjoy the show. I want to welcome our guest of the show. It is Kyle from Florida. Welcome to

the show, Man O Company. Good to see you. I'm hanging in like a hair in a biscuit, you know, me, always doing something, always busy, always talking bigfoot. I had a phenomenal conversation with your dad earlier today. We had him on at five for his interview and got through his encounter. I've of course shared it. I took the video when we were up in radium, but that's the first time I actually got to sit down face to face with him and let him share it on the show.

I was really excited to get to talk to Richard again and relive some of the things that you and I are going to relive because we were up in radium together in October of last year. You were an integral part. If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have been up there, honestly, and you were the one that twisted the knife and really got me to commit to the trip. So I have you to thank for that. I had a blast, man, it was an awesome trip. So let's talk

a little bit about that. We're going to get into. You had an experience there the prior you You and I haven't had a chance to talk about that. You've told me a little bit about that, But why don't you set the scene and paint the picture for us. Take us back to obviously you were in the radium area, but tell us about your experience that you had. I guess at this point it had been what twenty twenty two? Yeah, yep, one twenty two. Man, doesn't seem like it's up

far away. But at those same time, Yeah, So I was out there by myself. I had one of our other expeditioners out there with me for a couple of days of that feat Darren, super awesome guy. I miss him. If you're watching this, shoot me a call. Love to talk to you. So he came out and we did just like you and I did, Brian, just hiked around and biked around and just got to

know each other because I didn't really know them all that well. So it was really good to put a face to the voice because it was mostly phone calls. Or through Todds YouTube channel or something like that, came out, had a good time. He decided to leave my last day, so I think it was like a Wednesday or Thursday. He left that morning. I stayed behind because I had another day out there. Now how absolutely ridiculously out there and how remote it is, I would buy myself nobody else, like

nobody. So he left I think nine or ten in the morning. I just started packing up camp and stuff like that, and then I'm pretty sure I don't remember quite what I did that day. I'm pretty sure I went and got some firewood because I was like almost out and I needed one more night to get through, and then I was leaving that following morning, so I just rounded up the stuff that had been left out, got everything packed up a little bit. I think I went for a bike ride in the

bar alley. I'm pretty sure I went down to Nippeca and just did some ice bath stuff. That last day of like freedom to go do whatever I wanted and not have to worry about the credit card bills coming up or anything like that step final reset type thing. So yeah, later I made dinner. Obviously got dark. It was about ten o'clock. At night. I

was already fixing to go to bed. I was out of firewood. I was tired ten o'clock from kneeling by the end of the by the fire because and I was actually getting a little bit chilly because the stars were out, so kneeling there by the fire because it's only crackling and poppling. There's really not much going on with it, maybe like a little flame. And I had one pine branch left with the pine needles and stuff on it. With that, like you throw some pine needles on it and sparkles and whatever,

and then it like lighted up and blows everything up. So I'm leave that branch last in case I hear something and I'd like, I need to see what's going on around me. I'll throw that on there. It'll lay up the woods so like a safety net, not that it was going to do me any good anyway, if anything was deciding to come after me. But it was like ten o'clock, ten thirty, I'm kneeling down by the fire,

out of firewood. I'm just watching the fire. As soon as I get up, I got to pack up, and I gotta get out of here, and I got to drink back, and I'm just thinking about what I'm doing the next day, like it's been quiet and that's been happening whatever. It's just happy I got to come out here. And another the check mark on the list. So another two weeks I've been out here, and I heard in front of me a little bit to my right, just like a snap, like a twig break or something like that, and I was

like it was weird, like pretty laid out. I don't really hear a squirrels running around that late at night, maybe like an owl or something like that. On't o mouse. So I just glanced up, and I wasn't wearing my hat, but I just looked up. And whenever I look up, I'm looking at the stars and stuff, and I just see this big kind of glowing or I guess you could say. And it was actually like reacting to the fire. So I could see the fire reflecting off of this

thing. And it's eight and a half nine maybe nine and a half fet up there. I'm kneeling down, so it looks way higher, but it's like behind this tree. So I'm like, the hell is that? So just lean over because it's behind a tree. And then I saw the other one, and I realized it with the eyes and blinked, and the fire was reflecting off of the eyes, and he blinked together, and I was like, oh, that's the savage pull the crafty's close because he's only fifty

feet away from me. Like I knew, I know this area. It's right by base camp. It's right there. You saw it yourself, actually, so I knew that tree was there, and I know that an owl first off, an't come to a fire. Secondly, there's no branches on that tree big enough to hold an owl with an eight inch wide icepan. It ain't gonna be a moose or a bear or anything like that, and moose don't have four fixing eyes. Anyway. I just looked back down at the fire and I was like, whoa, okay, I started talked to

I was like, oh, it's up, dude. Oh my god, you snuck up on me. You got me there, didn't hear you coming? Thank you so much for doing it, Like this is awesome. So like a glance back up at him and he's still looking at it, look at the fire, still looking at me. I'm like I can partially see like the outline of his head because you know, the I could see this s guy in the background, So I'm just gonna keep talking to him, just like, okay, yeah, I don't really know what to say.

I don't dare move because I don't want to get smacked with a rock or something like that, because I know there's probably one like over there, and there's another one watching me over there. And I had put apples up that night too, because I wanted to swan to see if any think it was gonna take him. The last night ended up nobody took anything. So I looked down at the branch, the last pine branch that I had left, and I was like, you know what, I'm right here. I have

to try it. He's still there. So I reached over and I snapped like a couple things off, and I just talked at the fire, and I just put my hands back in my pockets and I looked up and I see like his eyes shifting back and forth and looking towards me and then back to just I'm just looking at him split second because I don't want to make too much eye contact with him. I don't know what's going to happen, but I can tell that he's looking around, and what's he doing? See

if head moving. So the fire starts catching the pine needles and it starts to popple and stuff. Oh my god, it was time so perfect. Just before the fire like actually started to lighten up and illuminate the surrounding area, I just heard and then two thugs and I looked up. Nothing there, and then the fire lit up and I saw everything around me, and

I was like, oh my god. He sounded so disappointed that I did then, but yeah, so I played up for a little bit later after that, But to me, it was just like that was like the finale. I'm cool with that. I'm going to bed now. And I slept like a baby. But I always get that question too, is what'd you feel? You must have been scared. Yeah, but I've also been around him enough that I didn't feel that I felt completely at peace. It was just I was more so shocked than anything else. Oh my god, they

liked me enough to come in this close. Holy crap. That was more so a compliment to me than anything else. One of the things that your dad and I didn't really get into earlier was we talked a lot about the experiences that we had together up in October last year, and one of the things that we didn't really talk about that we probably should have. I've talked about it a little bit and relaying my experiences on the show and talking to

other people on other podcasts. Is the rock throwing or the what we thought at the time. Todd thought it was pot and cones being thrown. We didn't really find anything, but I distinctly know there was something throwing rocks, is what my impression when we were sitting around the fire that night. Is that something that people have experienced up there before or was that something new to base camp. No, they've done that. I've had a rock thrown at

me when I was with Todd that year. I think it was twenty twenty two. Yeah, it was just early, like early on the expedition, and I think we talked about that story with you. I don't know, you want to get into it or off, but yeah, we had a rock thrown at us. But it wasn't like a pebble, It wasn't like a pinecone size. It was like a legit rock. And obviously nothing out there throws rocks except something with proposable thumbs. In that area too, there's

no trees hanging over the campers. That was stuffed straight hitting the campers. The only time I've ever seen that on TV would be like Monster Quest when Jeff Meldrom was up there at I forget the name, think you with that cabin up in the wood up in snow Grove either, Yeah, snow Grove. That was the last time I've ever seen anything like that happen. So have it happened? There? Was like? Yes, Yeah, it was definitely one of the weirdest experiences that I had when I was there. There

was other things that stuck out. Obviously, your dad and I talked about the night that we watched. I told him, I think it was the first night we were there by ourselves. Todd and Ashley were coming up the next day, Me and you and him are around the fire. We look up at the sky and we see all these frickin' lights. Man, that was one of the weirdest nights I've ever had. What was it, I think two shooting stars that happened that night. There was a meteorite that went

by. Yeah, you were looking at all these lights. How did you feel about that? Is that something you had had seen up there before or experienced. No, that's actually the first time I've ever had anything like that happen in the sky. And at this point i've been there, I think in eight weeks was your expedition? Was how much time I've spent out there, And man, that's the first time I've ever seen anything crazy like that. But those orbs, man, those were crazy. I've never seen that

before. And I've seen the titletes. I know what Tatlee tho. We were looking at them through binoculars. What the Yeah. When I got back and I did the breakdown over on that Bigfoot podcast with an episode I did with Wayne, I think it was a week or two after I got back and I talked about that, and I was getting emails and I was getting all kinds of messages. Oh, it was just satellites. Due, That's

all it was. You were seeing satellites. I'm like, no, satellites, they're not going two thousand miles an hour in a certain direction and they don't stop. I watched this thing stop and do a ninety degree turn and shoot off in the opposite direction. That's not a satellite, dude. There's so much weird stuff that cumulatively happened there were so many nights we'd set around the fire and it felt like nothing's really happening. But almost every night we

would hear a whoop, we would hear a wood knock. We were hearing the strange vocalizations that I did catch some on the audio. Unfortunately, Todd was talking over like that samurai chatter that we heard. That's when they do it. They know better. Maybe they don't know better, but I feel like they do it just to catch you off guard. And oh they're talking. Okay, let's make a noise and see how they react. Yeah, it was just weird stuff, man. And then obviously your dad's sighting that

he had. I caught a lot of shit about that too. When I posted his video, people were like, oh, dude, saw bear, it was a bear. Why would you walk near a bear? I'm thinking, again, you have to see this area. You have to see where we're talking about to know it wasn't a bear. Also, like, if you go down into that spot and put your feet where I found those tracks that next morning, and then those four steps that track way beating out, and you're not gonna tell me it was a bear. There's no way.

Yeah, that's what did it for me man, when you guys brought me out when I came out that morning for breakfast, and we went over and we were starting to look at the area, and I stood there and I put my feet in those two spots, and I looked directly at camp, directly at where your dad was standing when he saw this thing, and I thought, this is the perfect vantage point for these things to just stand and watch when we're sitting around the fire shooting the shit or whatever we're doing,

just out of sight too. That fire only reaches people are understand. When you walk out of that fire light, you feel so exposed. You're just like it's a whole different atmosphere everything. As soon as you just get out of the world as a fire, you don't feel stafe anymore. It's a weird baby, Bally. And the one thing that I really took away is one of the most I don't know what the word is. I guess it just stood out to me more than anything was the activity we were having that

night. We ended up pretty late that night doing our night walk. Oh yeah, that was definitely one of the most interesting experiences of my life. Talk a little bit about that. What led up to that and how are you feeling? Dear in that moment. Not really a fan of night walks, I never really was, but that was this past I guess season out there was more so for me to just push the envelope. I know as much as anybody else that if you do the same thing expect the different results,

You're stuck me. So you have to push the envelope. You have to do crazy things, you have to try new stuff in order to get to the results. So for me, it was like, yeah, I'm gonna pass on the night walk and then I'm like, you know what, I can't pass on the night walk and I have to go on the night walk because I'm gonna look back and be like, wow, you should have gone on the night because something's gonna happen. So I was like, all right, I'm just gonna say yes, I'm going, and I'm just gonna

go. And it did help me get over that little bit of beer. Of doing that. It's like I've still fifty feet away from his savage Jmi Laer. If you want to whatever, I've done it, I've got in that ice water, I've climbed that mountain, I've done that stuff. I'm not scared of much when it comes to that kind of stuff out there. That was a little bit next level for me. So I had to push it. I had to do it. Whether I was scared or not didn't matter, because I was I'm guiding. I need to be, you know,

in that right mindset. So I just shut that off and I took a walk down that trail with you guys. What really got me It was the weirdest timing too, because I couldn't see a damn thing front, like maybe Todd in front of me. That did frigging branch off the trail hit me in the chest just as Todd stopped and was like, oh right there, I've not had a heart attack. That really made my heart fulp there

for a couple of minutes. So then he started doing The more that you're around Todd, the more that you're out there with him, and the more encounters you guys have together, and he starts doing that, Hi, buddy, you really realized that it's real. Like he doesn't talk like that. He's always just a matter of fact and this and that, and like you know, you know of that. When he starts talking like that, that

day just not gave anymore. This is you messed this up. Either we're not going to have an encounter ever again, or you might get hit with something from the woods. So you have to have to reset your mind, like, okay, all right, this is happening. And I've learned to take his lead when it comes to stuff like that. But I've also learned from him how to take lead in case of a scenario like that happened kind of mind going out there and doing that stuff. I have to do that

stuff. Being a guide now, I have to push that envelope more so that I can go and do these things. Say, if you come out or somebody else comes out with me, I need to know that I can do it and stay tuned for more Sasquatch out to sy, We'll be right back after these messages. So I'm happy that I did it. I'm happy that we had some cool stuff happen, and I'm happy to push my comfort level. And for you, I know it was a huge comfort level for

you too, because I can't imagine you were any comfortable whatsoever. No, I'm not gonna lie, man, I was scared shitless in the beginning, and it wasn't even so much a fright that I was feeling. I think it was just more of the adrenaline. I was shaking uncontrollably at certain points, and it was cold to shit out there, but it wasn't that cold. I've had enough adrenaline dumps in the past to know that it was my adrenaline. Because, like you said, we really couldn't see your hand in

front of your face. It was so dark, and we're not out there. We're not shining flashlights. None of us had a flashlight on us. We're just out there completely exposed. And I tell you, the thing that got me the most about the situation was we were hearing these noises. That's why we went out there. We were hearing woodknocks. We were hearing these

things going on in that area. So we went to where it was, walking down the Porky Pine trail, and I'm thinking, there's a possibility there's a sasquatch twenty yards away from us, and we're walking towards it in the middle of the night, in the dark. I had a knife on me, that's it. I know Todd had the forty five seventy, but that's a bad situation to be in for most people. But that's why I was

there. I was not going to miss it. I'm certainly not going to sit back at camp and wait on you guys to come back and fill me in. And then we got out there, and the thing that probably sent me, honestly the most at disease for a moment, was when Ashley said she wasn't gonna sit down. I don't know why. It was just she just had this feeling and she said, no, I feel like I need

to stand up. I feel like I'm being called to stand up. And I was like, okay, but it made me a little I thought, what does she know something I don't know at that point, But of course I know Ashley is not the kind of person. If there was something that she felt that was wrong, she would have definitely told us and we would have all been safe. Don't get me wrong, But I don't know why.

It just set me off. But I tell you, sitting there for I don't know, ten twelve minutes, fifteen minutes, however long we sat there, it was a very surreal experience to be sitting in the middle of the woods and possibly have a sasquatch twenty twenty five yards away from you and not know what's going to happen. That's hard to explain to people, but

I felt like we were interacting with something at that point. And then of course we heard that one knock that was in the distance, and I think everybody just collectively was just it was almost like one mind, one body. We were all like, I think that's them saying goodbye. Yeah, it just felt like time to get up and move. So made our way back to the fire and it was pretty uneventful for the rest of the night. But that was one of those experiences that I will never forget, and I

will never as long as I live. I'll probably never experience anything else like that again, because it's just not something you get to do. Your dad and I talked about it about how remote this place is, and that's one of the things that people. I got a lot of shit when I got

back from just going on the trip. We both hear you were gonna yeah, that's one of the things people, everything you heard Todd paid people to be out there, and I'm like, you can't say that because you haven't seen it, right, and Jason being there as soon as I said,

there was somebody else there. Oh, how convenient. There was somebody else up there that was climbing the Radium Mountain hike, and he was the one doing all this, And I'm like, you know what, I would have been the person saying that a year ago, right, I'm not saying we're the first that a year ago exactly. And now I've been up there, I've experienced it, I see what it's like. There was absolutely no way that Jason or anybody else for that matter, was doing some samurai chatter making

whoops and or hitting trees while we were there and doing tree knocks. People don't understand. We drove him like an hour away from camp, deeper, even deeper than we were. And how much higher in elevation was he when he was up on Radium when he at the top, I don't know. I think it's ten or twelve thousand, And just in case you were wondering, eight the man was up there filming because he has his own Instagram. He took a camera. He was filming from the top of this area when

we were experiencing the stuff that we were experiencing. There's absolutely no way that it was he'son or anybody else for that matter. J the beast that he is. Yes, We've had him scheduled to come on the show twice and something really shit happened both times, and I haven't been able to get him on, so we're I'm hoping to reschedule him. So that is coming, folks. We want to get Jason on to talk about because he had experiences, He's had experiences in that area. So he's just the coolest, most

zen in person you'll ever meet. And oh my god, yeah, I like, I don't have words. He's like a shaman. It's amazing. I want to be more like him. Yeah, you definitely feel it when you're He's a big, imposing guy, a big figure, but you just feel completely at ease when you're in his presence. He's just one of those people. Man, he's one of the coolest people I've ever met. For

sure. Let's talk a little bit. Also, go ahead, he's got three black belts and who knows what anymore, So she's the wrong guy to messwish for sure. He'll have you on the ground before you even realize that. Yeah, he would break shit without even touching you. I have a fear fresh foot, laate. Let's talk about some of the other things that

stuck out to you on that expedition. Well, let me ask the question, was there anything that stuck out to you on that expedition that was out of the ordinary or things that you experienced that you hadn't experienced before or you didn't expect to experience when we were there, and talk a little bit about the pinn Or playground. We didn't talk about that when I had Richard on.

I haven't really talked a whole lot about that. I've shared some photos and I've shared some videos of that area, but again, that's a very difficult place to explain if you haven't seen it yourself. So do your best, if you will, to paint the picture of this place, why it's called that, and what we saw when you took me and Richard out there

to see that area. Gotcha. Firstly, a lot of the things that happened this past year that was a little bit I wish moro happened, But I feel like it was a good putting your foot in the door, at least for you in that aspect, because it's a lot to take in just being out there in its own and then having dasquatching counters is a whole nother level. So I'm happy that you got to see what it's like, and I'm happy that you got to dip your toes in the water basically, and

nothing too crazy happened that. Oh yeah, of course when Brian from Stapsquatch Odyssey goes out, you get a sighting and this and that. Like, I'm happy that didn't happen, because I didn't want it to be like that. But I'm also happy that, like absolutely nothing happened, because then it doesn't prove it either way. The things being thrown at the camper was totally

new for me. Never had that happen. That tree break with that big, like twenty or thirty foot tall other tree that was like weaved underneath of it, never seen that before. That was super new. I wasn't expecting to find two other structures that wasn't expecting. I always find tracks on them out there, always do. It's my favorite thing to do is go scout for tracks. I have the picture of the one by that big tree break when you and I and Dad were who knows where. I don't even remember

what trail that was offul because Dad just went that way. Speaking about that, let me cut off for a second. Where are those videos of us walking around? Is that on the back of your book, like on a QR code. I heard that's where you put those videos at The majority of those are going to be in the book. That's the only place they're going to be. Yes, okay, gotcha, because I want to look back and watch them because I thought that was I don't even know you were recording

havelf that that's why it was so fun. But yeah, anyway, I always find tracks. I always expected buying tree brakes, so that all that stuff's stuff of the thing. But definitely the rock throwing that the UFOs which I can call them upo is because we don't know what they were. Yeah, no, that's really good. The new structures was the Pinder playground. That was not something I was expecting. Also, that giant structure that we found over on the other side of the boundary, that was not something I

was expecting. Although what can you expect? That's a good question. Yeah, just so at this point, what can you expect besides fight? It's the bootprints and stuff from tree breaks. But yeah, no, so the Pender playground that was the new development. I think springtime of twenty twenty two is when Todd told me about it, and he was telling me, you got to do this place. This is absolutely we don't go up there. We've never gone up there. It's probably twenty years old since I started coming

into this research area. I've never seen anything like this. It's just one after the other. This doesn't make sense. That doesn't make sense. Why is that like that? There's another tree break? What is all this?

You can only picture it. Even pictures don't do justice. So someone can only tell you about it so much until you actually have to go there and see it for yourself, and you stand underneath that structure, go oh yeah, okay, and then you see the clockwise pattern that it's laid out in, just like in Nordy, just like in the other side of where we

stayed a couple hours, like our last day there. There's definitely some crazy stuff going on in the penor playgrounds, and I hope that more things end up happening there so we can keep going back there and keep adding that to our expeditions, because that our expeditions are usually pretty packed gm packed with stuff to do. That's another cool thing we can do when it's on the way

to the radiumhikes. We can do that in a day or two. It's just another cool thing that we can show people, especially for someone like you to come out there just a little bit skeptical but yet open minded about it and go, Okay, clearly that's not something that happened in nature, you know, just the fact that I think I found a trackway I don't know

what was eight or ten. It looked like eight or ten footprints or tracks that I was finding, and I had a hard time with the distance between the tracks when I was walking in an area that was heading towards one of these structures. It was one of the craziest things I've ever seen, for sure. And I got to show you how the track basically, like how they're laid out, what to look for, what not to look for, look at the length of them or they like all that stuff. And then

over terrain is a lot harder because it's stagged. The must like it just pops back up, so all the little weird Okay, that branch has moved and this and that, like you can you can look at it like that. You can it like lights up for you. You can see the track by it I'm happy that you saw it. You found eight that like never happens. I'm sure there's researchers out there that have been doing it for twenty years that haven't found two in a line, So that's super, super amazing.

Yeah. I couldn't believe it. Man. I thought I was questioning myself, is this really what I think it is? And the more I looked, and the more I walked and I got down and looked, I'm like, that is definitely a trackway and it's leading right where we were going to another one. I think your dad was making a b line for another structure, Like, yeah, it's heading right there. Man, there's a

lot there. Again, tons of it is subjective, but I left there, and I've said it so many times, I left there knowing at least I felt like at least a couple of times during that trip, I interacted with what I believed to be a Sasquatch on a couple of different occasions. When we were heading off on the e bikes. Your dad and I talked about it that first YE had it out on and we heard the tree knocks. I do a whoop. We get another knock, and I'm like,

holy shit, that's a response. This thing is responding to me. But I also put it out there too, like I was right there with it have happened. And then you like you looked at me with the biggest I'll never forget your face when you heard you have that response back. I was like, whistle again, and if we get a response like we're ditching today, we're going over there. I put that out there and then you did

a whistle back me and hearing back. So that to me, that was like, Okay, that was a boundary, and I figured out that they don't want us over there right now, so we're gonna leave it. We're gonna go do our thing. But yeah, it was crazy, man. So what's next for you and Radium? Are you going back this year? Are you going to continue to do expeditions? Anything new going on up there?

What's happening? We were pretty much the last expedition, one of the last expeditions out there, so I'm unaware of any other developments that we may have had. But the plan is I'm going to spend I think it least a month or two months out there this coming season, probably September October, same time that you came out, and I'm going to be doing expeditions in

Todd's footsteps. So I'll be like I did with you. I'll be you know, doing all the food, grab all that stuff and taking people out, showing them everything that we have, all the developments, you know, whatever happens this coming year, and just being a guide. I'm stepping up to that plate now where I've spent enough time there where I know where everything is, I know about everything, I know the animals to expect, not to expect all that kinds of stuff. I'm being mentored by Todd. I've

been mentored by Todd. I can't thank him enough for giving me the opportunity. I'm just a kid from New York. It's super, super huge to have a mentor of mine give me an opportunity like this. So that's the goal is take it and run and get as many people as I can out there, show them everything I can, have them do tree breaks like I made you do, and just get them to fall back in love with nature and enjoy the wilderness and be mad at the logging company you cite like Guya.

But yeah, so I got hopefully two months out there this year and then probably within the next two or three years. I'd like to open up a Discovering Bigco research center in Montana, so my friends who don't want to get their passports can come to a great, amazing state of Montana. Is there sasqutch there in the Rockies and I'll show them sasqutch out there. I have my own thing going on out awesome. I tell you, folks, if you're into it at all and you have the ability to take the trip

to Radium, it is definitely worth it. Again, if nothing happened while I was there, I would have left perfectly happy because of the area itself. Just being in nature and being in that beautiful place seeing the amazing things that we saw with good people, eating good food and breathing good air and drinking some of the best water on earth. It is the absolute best thing

that you could possibly do for yourself, in my opinion. So whether you have an interaction with a sasquatch while you're there or not, it is definitely worth a trip. Anybody who's on the fence about it, you heard it from me. That's my recommendation. Go up there, enjoy the time, get out into nature, do it with somebody like you who does a great job and knows what they're doing. We'll keep you safe, take care of you. Man. So I appreciate the time that we spent together, and

I appreciate you coming on and talking about it tonight. Man. Yeah, problem yeah. I'm always about trying to get people out and nature, man, And it's bad nowadays with technology. Now we got AI and stuff, and we got to turn that around. We got to get back out of the wood. Go bright, goally out in the field and look at the stars. Just do something. Get out there, put the phone down, and get off the couch and get out there. Put the phone up.

You know what I find amazing is that, like if I'm on Instagram or something like that, Like I'll scroll on a reel and I'll see this amazing drone footage or something like that of this beautiful serene like Switzerland or something like that, and like, just go there now. I just see it myself. They say shot, gotta go home, but you can't stay. I don't know. To be a world up its try this chart. That chart. Everything came right back, right back from the joy for me. Joy

stay right there, come it right away. Stas still storms, s s s s s s, STEA, games and gamest States, States, things, US
