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

Hey everybody, this is Last Drive. Yes, yes, I know aka
Survivor Man and you're listening to Brian on Sasquatch Honesty. Hey there, welcome
back to Sasquatch Odds. Thank you so much for clicking play. It is
Wednesday. I hope you're having your bride. We have an amazing show lined
up for you. But as always, I want to start by fighting.
If you've had an encounter and you'd like to pick on the show, shoot
me an email. You can get me a Brian Appairworldproductions dot com and head
over to the website. Check it out, can remember there and help support
the show. I got to sit down recently and talk to Kyle to Shane.
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. If you guys are interested
in those, head over to Paranormal World Production check out the store button at
the top of the page there and you can get in on the limited edition
autographed copies of Sasquatch Unleashed the Truth Behind the Legend Mind new book. Cliff
and I both signed those books, so if you want one, get them
before they're gone. 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
