Speaker 1: is advice.
Speaker 2: We got some one or something crawling around out your
Speaker 2: see what it was?
Speaker 3: Was it a person or an animal? Or I can't know.
Speaker 2: All I know that my underway came on and I
Speaker 2: did have a glimp and say this thing running across
Speaker 2: the yard a goodbye man or.
Speaker 4: A company looked like the man.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it was.
Speaker 3: Back in two thousand and five, we set out with
Speaker 3: one goal to give voice to the mystery and those
Speaker 3: who pursue it. Sasquatch Experience podcast has been your go
Speaker 3: to source for serious Bigfoot discussion, where we separate fact
Speaker 3: from folklore. Always grounded in research and respect. We've interviewed
Speaker 3: eyewitnesses experts since to like because understanding Bigfoot isn't just
Speaker 3: about belief, It's about the journey. Nearly two decades later,
Speaker 3: we're still chasing shadows and sharing stories. The search never stopped.
Speaker 3: Welcome to the Sasquatch Experience.
Speaker 4: Hello, hit somebody out of here and good evening everyone.
Speaker 4: Welcome to the Sasquatch Experience for Monday, June twenty seventh,
Speaker 4: twenty twenty six. I can't believe that we're already at
Speaker 4: the end of July. Guys. Here we are this year
Speaker 4: almost done. And I don't know about you, guys, but
Speaker 4: I really feel like I've gotten shit done for research
Speaker 4: this year for my own personal repertoire. I guess.
Speaker 2: No shit done or you didn't get shit done.
Speaker 4: No, now, listen, Matt and I are more fall type
Speaker 4: researchers anyhow, Maan, look as we were bigger men and
Speaker 4: enjoy the cooler seasons of fall and winter. But but
Speaker 4: hopefully it hasn't been very active in terms of reports
Speaker 4: coming through either. I mean, we've had some, but not
Speaker 4: as as many as years past. So I think we're
Speaker 4: kind of on the downward slope again, or you know,
Speaker 4: we just have folks that aren't reporting them right now.
Speaker 4: And that's always a possibility. And that's not everywhere, that's
Speaker 4: just here in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Our guest
Speaker 4: tonight Mike Hartman. Good friend. Mike and I met on
Speaker 4: a podcast someone else's hosting a couple of years ago,
Speaker 4: and we got a lot in common. We really approached
Speaker 4: the subject in the same way. And I'll tell you
Speaker 4: he's hilarious and when you get him started, he's hard
Speaker 4: to stop. So Mike comes to us from the Buckeye State.
Speaker 4: He does a lot of research in Ohio. Not limited
Speaker 4: to Ohio, but does a lot of research there predominantly.
Speaker 4: He's also the driving force behind the Bigfoot at right now,
Speaker 4: which is a pretty unique tool, and we'll let Mike
Speaker 4: talk about that here just a little bit.
Speaker 2: Mike, thanks for joining us tonight. My friend didnesuya No,
Speaker 2: I just like moving my lips and not making sound.
Speaker 2: I'll just mess with you. It's cool to be here.
Speaker 2: It's glad to be here. It's I mean, you guys
Speaker 2: got a great show, so I'm glad to be here.
Speaker 4: Oh, we appreciate that. Not everybody agrees. But we've been
Speaker 4: doing it for twenty years this year, Mike, twenty years
Speaker 4: of Sasquatch experience. And you know it's funny. We got
Speaker 4: a comment on our YouTube page that do you have
Speaker 4: to use the same uh nine call the Sasquat chronicles
Speaker 4: for the record. Listen, We've been around longer and I've
Speaker 4: used the nine to one one call longer, so don't
Speaker 4: mistake no one's got a monopoly on it. Hell, we
Speaker 4: don't even know if it's real. I mean, we know
Speaker 4: the call is real, but we don't know if the
Speaker 4: subject is real. So let's just enjoy it for what
Speaker 4: it is, a fun piece of potential bigfoottery, and we're
Speaker 4: using it for entertainment purposes, and it's off if you
Speaker 4: don't like it, that's all I have to say that respect.
Speaker 4: I'm a little fired up tonight, guys, Today has not
Speaker 4: gone as planned. We've dropped two co hosts tonight. As
Speaker 4: you can see. That's all right though, Vance's kitchen blew
Speaker 4: up and Henry that's a trend and Henry is under
Speaker 4: the weather tonight. So above and beyond that, Matt. We
Speaker 4: did have our executive producer down at the Smoking Mountain
Speaker 4: Bigfoot conference this weekend.
Speaker 5: Yes, and Brian gave us a play by play that
Speaker 5: entire time. So lots of pictures, lots of great reviews
Speaker 5: coming from Brian. And then we had so my wife
Speaker 5: watches a lot of these videos about Gatlinburg Pigeon Forge area,
Speaker 5: and there's a YouTuber that we follow. His name is
Speaker 5: Tampa Jay. If anyone's ever heard of Tampa Jay, great
Speaker 5: guy and he loves anything having to do with bigfoot
Speaker 5: and sasquatch. I posted a it was probably about an
Speaker 5: hour long video of Tampa Jay at the conference. Really
Speaker 5: gave another perspective because we're getting Brian's perspective, and we
Speaker 5: know Brian, you know, he's an awesome, awesome bigfoot guy,
Speaker 5: but then hearing from Tampa Jay, who's basically, you know,
Speaker 5: someone who's just learning about this, it really gave a
Speaker 5: great perspective. So we look at things that when we
Speaker 5: do any sort of shows or events that what he
Speaker 5: found to be interesting we could use, uh you know,
Speaker 5: through some of the evidence and some of the uh
Speaker 5: you know, just encounters that that we've had or we've investigated,
Speaker 5: that we could incorporate that better for people again, you
Speaker 5: know that aren't coming in as bigfoot experts, but you know,
Speaker 5: someone coming in off the street with just a general knowledge.
Speaker 5: It's absolutely perfect. And like I said, having those two
Speaker 5: perspectives from both Brian and from from this guy, Tampa
Speaker 5: Jay was outstanding.
Speaker 4: Absolutely and we're going to get Brian's content posted to
Speaker 4: our Patreon soon and then get some sort of way
Speaker 4: to display it to the viewers here on probably on
Speaker 4: next show we'll get a little recap put together. I
Speaker 4: know we're a little bit of distant for time, but
Speaker 4: you know, uh do want to get that because it's
Speaker 4: great to have somebody associated with the show. We had
Speaker 4: a great time when we went a few years ago.
Speaker 4: It did. We enjoyed ourselves in Gatlinburg.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, and now they have a a flavor
Speaker 2: town market, so we got to go back.
Speaker 4: Baker's obsessed with Guy Fierry and uh, well, Paula Dean too,
Speaker 4: I got pictures. Yeah, oh god, and that's well no, yeah, no, okay,
Speaker 4: And we're going to segue from that from uh and
Speaker 4: to tonight's topic. So, Mike, we're glad you're with us. Man,
Speaker 4: you've been going after Bigfoot in Ohio for how long now,
Speaker 4: A pretty decent time.
Speaker 2: In the field thirty years in the book forty.
Speaker 4: So you're not a newbie to this field. And I
Speaker 4: think you know regionally, I think you're well known, Mike.
Speaker 4: And as we get listeners from all over the UK,
Speaker 4: New Zealand, all over, tell them how you got started
Speaker 4: into this, Mike? How did you get bought into Bigfoot
Speaker 4: and what's kept you going for so long?
Speaker 2: So growing up they when I went to elementary school,
Speaker 2: adhd all that stuff didn't exist. You were either learning
Speaker 2: disabled or you were normal. And I got put in
Speaker 2: the learning disabled class. So one day we were going
Speaker 2: to the library and we're down there, were looking around
Speaker 2: here this old car, and I find a book by
Speaker 2: John Green called On the Trail of Bates Foot, and
Speaker 2: I ended up. So I may have not been learning disabled,
Speaker 2: but I was a delinquent because I stole the book.
Speaker 2: I checked it out, it never went back. In the
Speaker 2: middle of that book.
Speaker 4: I got the same thing. I will also admit we're
Speaker 4: both the Linquits together in that respect.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I owe Elmwood Elementary like eighty thousand dollars in
Speaker 2: late we use probably I hope they never tried to collapse.
Speaker 2: But in the middle of that book was that picture,
Speaker 2: you know, the famous picture of Patty. And that picture
Speaker 2: captivated me. It just burned into my memory for some reason,
Speaker 2: like imprinted on me. And it wasn't so much the
Speaker 2: photo with the self. It was everything around the photo.
Speaker 2: What is what what am I looking at?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 5: What is it?
Speaker 2: What does it do? What does it eat, does it eat?
Speaker 4: Does it you know?
Speaker 2: Where does it live?
Speaker 5: What? So?
Speaker 2: Yeah, just the questions at that young age. And and
Speaker 2: then it was later that dad discovered that. Actually he
Speaker 2: went to the school and like almost had my principal
Speaker 2: by the throat and told him he's not learning disabled.
Speaker 2: You guys are teaching disabled because if he wants to
Speaker 2: learn it, he will learn it. You're just not captivating
Speaker 2: him because I could recite every newspaper article. If you
Speaker 2: asked me about that book, I can tell you what
Speaker 2: page the sentence was on and I could complete it
Speaker 2: for you. I just got so absorbed into it. So
Speaker 2: for me, it started in the third grade eighty three,
Speaker 2: eighty four somewhere in there.
Speaker 4: Yeah. And it's something I noticed about you when we
Speaker 4: were doing that podcast together, as you were very like
Speaker 4: on point with the faction. I think we were talking
Speaker 4: about the DNA study from Catch Them or something along
Speaker 4: the line.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and.
Speaker 4: You were just you have an acumen to be able
Speaker 4: to recite that stuff. Man, and funnier than hell, you know,
Speaker 4: which I think is great for this seal needs a
Speaker 4: lot more infotainment personalities, not just entertainment, my folks that
Speaker 4: actually know what the hell they're talking about. And that's
Speaker 4: kind of why I wanted to get you on the
Speaker 4: show because I think, you know, through the work you're
Speaker 4: doing with the Bigfoot app, which you know, people like
Speaker 4: to use the term groundbreaking, I think it's very relevant
Speaker 4: in today, especially when we've got a lot of folks
Speaker 4: that are interested in information at their fingertips as soon
Speaker 4: as possible. I don't know how many folks. Well, let's
Speaker 4: talk about the Bigfoot app a little bit. Well, what
Speaker 4: you know, tell us about it and how's it working out.
Speaker 2: So it started last year as an idea. Probably since
Speaker 2: two thousand, I was making websites and back then you
Speaker 2: had to put the little HDML alligator mouth, alligator mouth
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. Yeah, write the whole damn code. And
Speaker 2: I was computering literate at that time, So my websites
Speaker 2: were horrible because I'm not a code writer. I was
Speaker 2: working at McDonalds at the time. You know, my operations
Speaker 2: weren't that high at that period in my life. So
Speaker 2: but yeah, I was only building websites. I got better
Speaker 2: over the years. The programs got better, made it easier.
Speaker 2: Soon it got to where you didn't have to write code.
Speaker 2: You could just tell it what you wanted off of
Speaker 2: a template, but it was never enough. And then AI
Speaker 2: hit and everyone got, you know, was terrified of AI.
Speaker 2: I love technology. I like to have tools and shit
Speaker 2: at my fingers that I can utilize. So that's where
Speaker 2: last year I got the idea for the Bigfoot Apps,
Speaker 2: started building it, started working on it. It's a pay
Speaker 2: as you go program and it's website me based, but
Speaker 2: it's also a lot of AI around it. So I
Speaker 2: built tools using AI that I would have loved to
Speaker 2: have had thirty years ago, twenty years ago, ten years ago.
Speaker 2: And now I can just tell my computer to build
Speaker 2: it and it'll screw up a few times, sure, but
Speaker 2: you keep at it and it's all in the wording,
Speaker 2: and boom it came to be the bigfootapp dot com.
Speaker 2: So right now I'm fighting with Google. Google loves me.
Speaker 2: They will let my app go to Google Play, but
Speaker 2: it's the other people that it takes fourteen testers and
Speaker 2: each tester has to stay on for fourteen days. And
Speaker 2: I got the four people part down. It's the other
Speaker 2: ten that keep dropping the ball and failing me on Google.
Speaker 2: But eventually it will be on Google Play. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's called the bigfootapp dot com. It's called a login.
Speaker 2: You can it's web based. You can save it to
Speaker 2: yours cell phone just like an app. It works offline
Speaker 2: better than an app. And it just is the biggest
Speaker 2: most comprehensive information base whatever I've ever built in my life.
Speaker 2: And that's what I was driving for. I wanted it
Speaker 2: to be half of the library and the other half
Speaker 2: I wanted to be tools, field, tools, field tutorial. So
Speaker 2: I built things like the I worked with doctor, the
Speaker 2: late doctor Meldrum, and he helped me come up with
Speaker 2: a footprint mass algorithm, and so you can take your
Speaker 2: footprint and you can put stuff in it, and it
Speaker 2: can measure it for you. And after you get that measurement,
Speaker 2: it then converts it to a guestiment of the height
Speaker 2: of the animal based off the length of the print.
Speaker 2: Doctor Meldrim helped me with that one, so I call
Speaker 2: it the Meldrum Heist Calculator. And then it's got an
Speaker 2: actual map, which is my favorite part. It has a
Speaker 2: map of the entire United States and you can get
Speaker 2: on that map and wherever you can build a public map,
Speaker 2: or you can build your own private map, so you
Speaker 2: don't have to share your information if you don't want to,
Speaker 2: your honeyholes, your hotspots, all that, but your basic areas.
Speaker 2: You can go on the public map if you want to.
Speaker 2: But on my map you can add information time, weather.
Speaker 2: You can add a photograph, video, audio recording to it.
Speaker 2: So when you click on the pin on the map
Speaker 2: to view it as a user, if there's an audio
Speaker 2: file associated to it, it shows up blow you can
Speaker 2: play it and you can listen to the woops, the hows.
Speaker 2: You can zoom in and go into the map, look
Speaker 2: at the area, see what it was like. You can
Speaker 2: see what the weather was for that day. You can
Speaker 2: hit the historical layer and see how it lines up
Speaker 2: with historical data. And it's more than I could explain
Speaker 2: in one podcast. I mean, it has the Squatsonian, it
Speaker 2: has uh the library, it has oh got an entire
Speaker 2: page dedicated just the information. And then it has my
Speaker 2: old Bigfoot Ohio app built into it as another button,
Speaker 2: and it just it has so much stuff in it,
Speaker 2: I can't even describe it all. In a little bit.
Speaker 2: I overbuild it. Actually, it's to the point almost being
Speaker 2: too much.
Speaker 5: I think I'd rather have it overbuilt than under built.
Speaker 5: And really everything that you said, Mike, I mean that
Speaker 5: sounds awesome for one in just one general.
Speaker 2: App like that.
Speaker 5: How long did it? How did you say it took
Speaker 5: to put everything together?
Speaker 2: So I've been working on it since last year. I
Speaker 2: really started building it around January, and I released it
Speaker 2: prematurely because I like being able to just go online
Speaker 2: look at it from a user standpoint and say, what
Speaker 2: would I want on here? And I hope the wife
Speaker 2: don't want watch this show because I've got about three
Speaker 2: thousand dollars wrapped up in Yeah, it's been a lot
Speaker 2: of building, a lot of work, but I'd say like
Speaker 2: the big push has probably been from January to two
Speaker 2: weeks ago.
Speaker 4: I'm on it right now, Mike. I just pulled it
Speaker 4: up in the web browser, and folks, you got to
Speaker 4: get on this because as he's talking about, actually know
Speaker 4: what I'll do because we put it up on the
Speaker 4: I'm gonna put it up on the screen, all right,
Speaker 4: tell me when you can see it. We got it.
Speaker 4: You can see it right there. Just make sure it's
Speaker 4: the right screen. It's not any kind of adult videos
Speaker 4: or anything, not that I I would do that, but
Speaker 4: just making sure, you know, but you know, he's got
Speaker 4: it up here at the top the Bigfoot app You
Speaker 4: got the Hopping Hills Bigfoot Festival coming up, a public
Speaker 4: appearance at Squatch and sip report a sighting. But here
Speaker 4: it's where it starts. Getting the good stuff feel weather station, camp,
Speaker 4: wind speed, rain and you know, Mike, this is something
Speaker 4: that years ago when I was working with a small
Speaker 4: group called the Keystone Bigfoot Project, one of the things
Speaker 4: that was incredibly important to us was being able to
Speaker 4: log weather conditions, moon conditions, any kind of atospheric conditions.
Speaker 2: So when you put a pin on the map or
Speaker 2: make a report, if you click on the weather button
Speaker 2: block it. There's like five different places. It automatically loads
Speaker 2: the weather to your sighting report to the information and yeah,
Speaker 2: it automatically opens on your geographical location. As soon as
Speaker 2: you open the map, you see where you're at on
Speaker 2: the map, and so you can log your own GPS.
Speaker 2: But yeah, if you make a report, it logs everything.
Speaker 4: But we could go up here and put save current
Speaker 4: or like when we're at the location right be able
Speaker 4: to yes, you saved, which is pretty awesome. And and
Speaker 4: folks that don't realize all this stuff was incredibly important,
Speaker 4: like Uh, you know time and year, time of day,
Speaker 4: it's it's impressive, like it really speeds. Right.
Speaker 2: The one thing I use I usually even in the
Speaker 2: pen and paper days, I always wrote down what the
Speaker 2: barometer was that day. For some reason in my head,
Speaker 2: I just felt the barometer was important.
Speaker 4: So a buometric pressure is funny. You know, look how
Speaker 4: it affects regular you know, regular animals.
Speaker 2: That yeah, because yeah, my background is wildlife biology, even
Speaker 2: though I went to school for it. But I'm a
Speaker 2: maintenance guy that plug plunges toilets for a living. So yeah,
Speaker 2: but yeah, wildlife biology, that's my background. So and then
Speaker 2: I'm also a bow hunter, so I yeah, the weather
Speaker 2: effects at everything.
Speaker 4: I just love all the resources. Go ahead and mad,
Speaker 4: I'm just kind of still taking folks on an overview here.
Speaker 5: No, and what Mike said is right. I'm I'm a
Speaker 5: bow hunter also. And it's not just it's not just
Speaker 5: looking at the wind, but it's looking at the pressure,
Speaker 5: it's looking at the moon phase. Uh, is looking at
Speaker 5: you know so much and and then you know, being
Speaker 5: able to And I think that's where I've talked to
Speaker 5: a couple of people and uh that are our bow hunters,
Speaker 5: not just you know, your your typical rifle hunters, but
Speaker 5: the bow hunters because we have to read that terrain
Speaker 5: uh differently. And then somebody you know, just going out
Speaker 5: for rifles, setting up on a stand somewhere. We're looking
Speaker 5: at the funnels, we're looking at the uh at the
Speaker 5: food cover and uh in you know, the transition areas.
Speaker 5: So that really really does that kind of coincides with
Speaker 5: what we're doing because it helps us to track, you know,
Speaker 5: any of these you know from these sightings, Hey, where
Speaker 5: is that? Where is that cover at? Where's this? You know? Uh,
Speaker 5: you know where's this at? And again yeah, what was
Speaker 5: the weather?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's go ahead.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Mike. I love how it's got a confidence
Speaker 4: barometer on here. Ye like, yeah, that's pretty important.
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, I think so. I mean cause and
Speaker 2: you're got to put that in yourself, you know, how
Speaker 2: sure are you that? And some of mine are low,
Speaker 2: some of mine are high, some of them are like,
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but it was odd this happened. But
Speaker 2: then there's the ones that like, yeah, I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: that this was you know, so yeah, it's I just
Speaker 2: like having that on there.
Speaker 4: Oh I do too. I think that's phenomenal.
Speaker 5: Mm, we'll have to add some for for our area.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going to have to get busy, like.
Speaker 5: We have a honey hole, but we're we don't keep
Speaker 5: it private.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: It's such a huge expanse of land that we're trying
Speaker 5: to get people out there, you know, and uh but
Speaker 5: it's fairly uh not the best you know environment, it's
Speaker 5: not it's not general rolling hills. It's uh no, it's yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah kind of. That's my theory with Wayne National Forest
Speaker 2: because it's like three different tracks, but the three together
Speaker 2: are almost seven hundred thousand acres and there ain't no
Speaker 2: way five people could cover that in ten years, let alone.
Speaker 2: So the more people that you can get to go
Speaker 2: to that big area and start making those pins, the
Speaker 2: easier the story and the quicker the story.
Speaker 4: I'm full, Yes, oh I was.
Speaker 5: If you don't where what databases are using for the
Speaker 5: for the reports, is it just self reported or are
Speaker 5: you getting using like the be f Republic and some
Speaker 5: other reports.
Speaker 2: No, it's all user reports. Because there's another map out
Speaker 2: there and I won't mention its name, but I hate
Speaker 2: it because it has dots all over their map and
Speaker 2: when you click on them, like sixty percent of them
Speaker 2: are dead empty. It's just to pen on the map.
Speaker 2: It doesn't even say if it was a wood knock,
Speaker 2: a footprint, a citing what. It's literally just a dot
Speaker 2: on a map, and that dry stuff like that wild
Speaker 2: just drive me insane. So it actually forces you to
Speaker 2: put in some information before it'll let you submit your report.
Speaker 2: But it's all user reported.
Speaker 5: Have you seen like a certain amount of reports from
Speaker 5: a specific area that surprised you when you've developed this.
Speaker 2: So it's still in its infancy. There's not a lot
Speaker 2: of people reporting on it yet. I just really haven't
Speaker 2: got the word out about it a whole lot, so,
Speaker 2: but I'm interested to see that as it grows. But
Speaker 2: like right north of me, I don't have any of
Speaker 2: the reports on there. I think I only have the
Speaker 2: general location, like the Man Too, a flap that happened
Speaker 2: back in March twenty twenty five. Everybody's all bigfoot Man too, oh,
Speaker 2: so that you know that it's kind of in that
Speaker 2: same general wheelhouse. But that shocked me a good little
Speaker 2: bit that that happened and was going on.
Speaker 5: Because I'm looking at the Maut and I mean i
Speaker 5: am seeing a good stretch. It's not just Ohio. It
Speaker 5: looks like it looks like you have even down to Tennessee.
Speaker 4: H yeah, you know with the particular shut more people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is growing. It's getting there. It's just not
Speaker 2: in its boom yet, you know, it's not yet found
Speaker 2: its glory days, but it will eventually.
Speaker 5: What kind of what kind of crowd or what kind
Speaker 5: of person are you looking to get to to get
Speaker 5: on this app? Are you looking for the for the
Speaker 5: hard for researcher or are you looking for someone that
Speaker 5: just wants to learn about Bigfoot?
Speaker 2: So it's that and that's kind of what the app is.
Speaker 2: It's split down the middle, like half of it is
Speaker 2: a learning center for the new individuals to say, hey,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe if your nervous to ask this question
Speaker 2: or whatnot, we may hope that you can find it
Speaker 2: one of these articles I put out or some of
Speaker 2: the infrots. So it's built for the newbie, but it's
Speaker 2: also built for the people the seasoned veterans at it.
Speaker 4: So okay. So, and it's just an example here. This
Speaker 4: is a thermal video from the one sighting report that
Speaker 4: was put up, and we can see that looks like
Speaker 4: something right here in the image.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So that video I'm the one that shot it,
Speaker 2: is about three minutes long. And there's two other captures
Speaker 2: that are associated with that video that there was a
Speaker 2: little movement down in front, maybe a juvenile, I don't know.
Speaker 2: And then there's another what part of it where see
Speaker 2: I didn't know I was filming that. Like, I was
Speaker 2: standing fifteen feet away from my thermal. I just happened
Speaker 2: to walk over and I was like, I don't remember
Speaker 2: this black blob being on the and then it like
Speaker 2: moved and I'm like, yeah, that wasn't there earlier. So
Speaker 2: I went out into the swamp to try to get
Speaker 2: to where it was and I ended up over knee
Speaker 2: deep water. It was cold, it was like October. And
Speaker 2: when I got to the grass that it stood up
Speaker 2: out of I've been through it now is about two
Speaker 2: feet over top of my head.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was a crazy night for sure.
Speaker 5: And where was where? Where was that at? In Sean?
Speaker 5: Can you bring that map up again, Yes, sir, So
Speaker 5: that was just a little.
Speaker 2: North of Wooster, Ohio. What is it called Funk Bottoms?
Speaker 5: So how I'm not from Ohio, not super familiar with it.
Speaker 5: But how far is that from Salt Fork.
Speaker 2: So it's about fifteen to twenty minutes north of Machican
Speaker 2: State Park, so it would be about an hour and
Speaker 2: a half north Well, no, almost dead north of Salt Well.
Speaker 2: Northwest of Saltwork about an hour and a half. Because
Speaker 2: Mohican's only fifteen minutes from me, Saltfork's fifty minutes, Woodbury's
Speaker 2: twenty minutes, Cocosing's twenty minute. I'm kind of like right
Speaker 2: in the middle of a bunch of really good areas.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, The Mexican Watershed is five minutes away, and if
Speaker 2: I walk thirty seconds that way or less, I'll be
Speaker 2: standing in the middle of the Cocosing River.
Speaker 4: So oh what, Yeah, you are of Bidfloot Buckeye State.
Speaker 2: So that's kind of the whole reason. Is my house
Speaker 2: a dump? That's the whole reason it was bought though
Speaker 2: it was more location, location, location than U like it
Speaker 2: was available. It was their sale when I said sold
Speaker 2: before I even saw it, because I saw where it was.
Speaker 2: It's like he's literally smack down in the middle of everything.
Speaker 2: That's where I want to be.
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's that's really interesting. So out of those
Speaker 5: areas which ones do you think are more active.
Speaker 2: It seems to be a little more south. It basically
Speaker 2: the foothills of Appalachia. I wrote a book about it. Actually,
Speaker 2: it's called the Ohio Sasquatch Corridor, and it's like just
Speaker 2: the air, the strip of sightings that everything seems to happen.
Speaker 2: If you look at the state of Ohio and you
Speaker 2: start down on the Ohio River and you make a
Speaker 2: fish up and start going up north, that's kind of
Speaker 2: the air. It follows the Appalachian foot.
Speaker 5: Okay, wow, well, definitely gonna have to I have to
Speaker 5: check out that happened. We have a we have an
Speaker 5: event coming up soon, and you know, we'll we'll definitely
Speaker 5: try it out, you know, for the event and let
Speaker 5: people know about it.
Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
Speaker 4: So I've been playing and it's pretty it's pretty pretty awesome.
Speaker 2: So it's extensive.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, So what kind of personal experiences encounters? I mean,
Speaker 5: obviously that that ternal video is pretty impressive, but what
Speaker 5: other encounters have you had that you know are kind
Speaker 5: of key in your research.
Speaker 2: So my first one was Salt Fork State Park and
Speaker 2: that was I didn't get to see it see it.
Speaker 2: It was night time and it was more of a dark,
Speaker 2: shadowy figure, and that's what both of my sightings were,
Speaker 2: so I've never got that detail. That's what I'm chasing.
Speaker 2: But the one that I cited the last, the least
Speaker 2: made the biggest impact to me. And it was down
Speaker 2: at Saltwork and I call it the Super Knox Night
Speaker 2: because we got there. We showed up. I put out
Speaker 2: the fishing rods because back in that day, like bigfooters
Speaker 2: weren't really welcome in state parks. So me and my
Speaker 2: guys all had our fishing licenses or fishing ds something lights,
Speaker 2: so we posed as anglers or hunters. But the rangers
Speaker 2: knew why we were there. They simply appreciated what we
Speaker 2: were doing. Sure, so we set up by this creek
Speaker 2: and we're just standing there. We just showed up. We're
Speaker 2: talk and now let's walk down the road a little bit.
Speaker 2: And we made it about ten steps and there was
Speaker 2: a wood knock on this side of the ridge, and
Speaker 2: then a wood knock on the other side of the ridge,
Speaker 2: and one further down or an echo because it was quieter,
Speaker 2: and we all looked at each other like was that
Speaker 2: for us? And it was no. Sooner did I did
Speaker 2: we say that till an old raggedy f one fifty
Speaker 2: came over the hill. Okay, So was that for us
Speaker 2: or was that a warning that there was a clerk coming?
Speaker 2: Stay away from the road. So we decided that was
Speaker 2: the spot for the night. That's where we were going
Speaker 2: to stay. We had just made dinner, had some brought worth,
Speaker 2: and it just cut loose, pouring rain. It was like, well,
Speaker 2: it's it's late in the night, let's just get in
Speaker 2: our vehicles. Well wait it out. And this started right
Speaker 2: at dark, I mean right at dark, and it was
Speaker 2: still raining at one am. I look over. My buddy
Speaker 2: is dead asleep beside me. The wife is dead asleep,
Speaker 2: and I'm sitting there doing the head bob, you know,
Speaker 2: barely keeping awake. And then there was a series of
Speaker 2: knots and it was seventeen to twenty one would knocks
Speaker 2: well and it called bam bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam,
Speaker 2: bam bam. So now everybody's wide awake. We're looking around.
Speaker 2: We know there's not a soul around us. And this
Speaker 2: was like right when the last raindrop hit the dirt.
Speaker 2: I mean it was like the rain just stopped and
Speaker 2: everyone's wide awake, and I found it laughable. But now
Speaker 2: because I jumped, my wife hit the door locks and
Speaker 2: the automatic log and they click real loud. So when
Speaker 2: I heard that click, I about went out the window,
Speaker 2: and I was like, first of all, do you expect
Speaker 2: them to walk up and open the doors and the
Speaker 2: way that Harry has sat up? No, no one walked
Speaker 2: in on us, because there was a lake here. No
Speaker 2: one came in that way. It's a marsh over here,
Speaker 2: it's a marsh over there. They could have only came
Speaker 2: from one direction, and we were in the only parking
Speaker 2: spot for probably half a mile, so I know no
Speaker 2: one walked down there because they would have had to
Speaker 2: fork around us to get up to where I think
Speaker 2: the knots were. From this tree, I could see the
Speaker 2: silhouette out in the swamp, and right beside it was
Speaker 2: this old, gnarly, raggedy ass dumb And so we sat
Speaker 2: in the vehicles all night, We're all just looking out
Speaker 2: the window. Sun starts to come up, we get brave,
Speaker 2: we all get out, and you know, the first words
Speaker 2: out of everybody's mouth was, what the hell was that?
Speaker 2: Because we had never heard anything like that before in
Speaker 2: our own Yeah, it's like wow, and we're talking, and
Speaker 2: so we walk up the road. We walked down the
Speaker 2: ridge because it was the only way to see the
Speaker 2: tree that we all agree that came from. And you
Speaker 2: can see the back of it, and you can see
Speaker 2: it's chewed up, its snarled up a little bit of
Speaker 2: the binoculars. So we walked back down to the car
Speaker 2: and it's like, let's try to get close to it.
Speaker 2: And we marshed ourselves out on a point to where
Speaker 2: we couldn't get any further. And we turn around. We're
Speaker 2: walking back towards the vehicles and I froze and everyone
Speaker 2: stopped and they're all looking at me, like what what?
Speaker 4: What? What? What?
Speaker 2: And I turned around and I'm looking back and they're
Speaker 2: like what And I said, where'd the fucking stump go?
Speaker 4: And there I'm like what?
Speaker 2: And I was like, the stump that was beside that
Speaker 2: tree is no longer there. So now I'm trumping out
Speaker 2: in water because maybe the storm knocked it down, maybe
Speaker 2: it got weak, maybe the water picked up. And I
Speaker 2: tromp around in the water. I'm looking at this tree.
Speaker 2: I'm in thick mud. I got ticks crawling up me
Speaker 2: from going through the marsh grass. But there was no
Speaker 2: stump that the stump was gone. Wow, and so yeah
Speaker 2: that I didn't even identify it for what it was,
Speaker 2: but that one stands out the most to me. Wow.
Speaker 5: How long ago did that happen?
Speaker 2: That would have been around two thousand and six.
Speaker 5: Okay, and it was early year.
Speaker 2: I know that much. It was early in the year.
Speaker 2: It was like April May. Cat fishing was just getting
Speaker 2: fired up because I had my cat fishing poles with
Speaker 2: me and I loved that that first part of the
Speaker 2: year kitty fishing when they're on that feeding frenzy of
Speaker 2: the water warms up. And yeah, it was. I mean
Speaker 2: to this day when I drive by that area every time,
Speaker 2: the hair still stands up my arm. Oh wow, and
Speaker 2: I hear the knocks in my head. I can see
Speaker 2: that I can bring that back to life as if
Speaker 2: I'm watching it for the first time. And wow. But yeah,
Speaker 2: that damn walking disappearing stump, that's wow means yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: yeah it did.
Speaker 4: It did.
Speaker 2: Now thought, what what kind of bigfoot researcher mistakes a
Speaker 2: bigfoot for a stump and just man't gonna pay attention
Speaker 2: to that. If you know, if I'd have been in
Speaker 2: the right mind, my eyes would have never left it.
Speaker 2: I'd have had cameras on it, you flashlights on it,
Speaker 2: you name it. But the fact that I just look
Speaker 2: over and I was like, well, I think it came
Speaker 2: from that tree, by that big stump.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like some bigfoot researcher I am, in all fairness
Speaker 4: might there have been a lot of reports that are
Speaker 4: kind of like I saw this stump and then it
Speaker 4: stood up, or I saw its stump and then yeah, uh,
Speaker 4: you know, there's one not far from me. Actually, I
Speaker 4: was actually one of the first ones I investigated in
Speaker 4: the ninety nine the early two thousands, when these hikers
Speaker 4: saw what they thought was just a tree stump and
Speaker 4: it got up and uh, kind of like that scene
Speaker 4: from Harry and Henderson's you.
Speaker 2: Know right, yeah, but you don't have one. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: have one just down the road to me like that.
Speaker 2: And it's from two teenage boys and they're just out
Speaker 2: fishing and joined the summer evening. Yeah, if they're in
Speaker 2: an area where kids still ride their bikes down the street,
Speaker 2: people don't lock their doors at night. It's that kind
Speaker 2: of community. And these kids were they were you know, hey, guys,
Speaker 2: I was the fishing going and oh yeah, blah blah blah,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna go walk back to here,
Speaker 2: you know, I just don't want bug guys and whatnot,
Speaker 2: like just make sure you're auty here by dark. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, what the hell are two kids tell me
Speaker 2: to be out of here by dark? Like are these
Speaker 2: little shit's going to try to mug me or something?
Speaker 2: And you know, I turn around, I'm like, why do
Speaker 2: I need to be out of here by dart? Like well,
Speaker 2: that's when the stump walks across.
Speaker 4: The Mars And I was like, huh, but what does what?
Speaker 2: They're like, yeah, the stump, it walks across the Mars
Speaker 2: at night and they're like, wow, he had I'll be
Speaker 2: right here with you guys tonight. I'm watching this march.
Speaker 2: Now the hell with that? Hi?
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 2: But yeah, and they apparently had seen it more than once.
Speaker 2: I didn't get to view it, but there's many nights
Speaker 2: I've sat out there since watching.
Speaker 5: Now, besides Ohio, have you investigated anywhere else in the
Speaker 5: region or you know, outside of the regions O.
Speaker 2: High Mountain, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Michigan, Vermont, New York, Maine, Massachusetts, Virginia,
Speaker 2: West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas.
Speaker 4: It gets around.
Speaker 5: Yeah, wait, wait, what's wait? Where's your favorite place to go?
Speaker 5: Sash watching? That outside of Ohio?
Speaker 2: Outside? So I have a property and it's an unlivable property.
Speaker 2: They claim it in Virginia on the Kentucky border. That's
Speaker 2: real high on the it's kind of a toss up
Speaker 2: between there and around blackwater Falls area. Okay, yep, West Virginia.
Speaker 2: What's the name of that other park right there? It's
Speaker 2: just a little bit real well, I've been there too,
Speaker 2: but that it's right by the new gorgeous State park are.
Speaker 2: It's like twenty minutes down the road. Okay, for the
Speaker 2: life of me, I can't think it.
Speaker 4: I can't.
Speaker 2: Yeah there, but yeah, I love that park. I really
Speaker 2: enjoy that area.
Speaker 5: When you when you've gone out to the other states,
Speaker 5: have you had activity like like you would get in Ohio,
Speaker 5: like some of the things encounters you had there.
Speaker 2: So in Vermont, we had some whoops one night, probably
Speaker 2: the noisiest or the I would say the closest out
Speaker 2: of state I've been was on the North Carolina Virginia
Speaker 2: border at the Great Dismal Swamp Okay. I was in
Speaker 2: there after night, after hours. They're kind of a strict
Speaker 2: park and they're transtricting out for hours, but there's a
Speaker 2: canoe trail and you can camp it for free. You
Speaker 2: just have to reserve it. It's owned by the Army
Speaker 2: Corps of Engineers and you canoe all the way back
Speaker 2: by Lake Drummond and there's like a big gazeba with
Speaker 2: mosquito net around it and you can primitive camp on
Speaker 2: it overnight or for however long you reserve it for
Speaker 2: and it's completely free. You just have to get there.
Speaker 2: But the only way to get to it is canoe kayak.
Speaker 2: And there's water moccas sins. That's like the most northern territory.
Speaker 2: There's black bears, people say there's alligators. Some dick weed
Speaker 2: said there was a bull shark in there one time,
Speaker 2: and just shit that would kill you, scare you of
Speaker 2: his death and make you not want to go. But
Speaker 2: we went. And the worst thing was, I now know
Speaker 2: why that mosquito net was up. Could you had to
Speaker 2: take IV bags with you to keep your own blood
Speaker 2: inside of you. Horrible. They would shoe your they could,
Speaker 2: they could fly away with a small child. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: they were just crazy mosquito. So I now understand why
Speaker 2: that scream house exist and it's for you to put
Speaker 2: your tent in. I wish I had known that, because
Speaker 2: my tent was outside of it and it ended up
Speaker 2: going in it in the middle of the night. But yeah,
Speaker 2: but yeah, that that area of the Great Dismal Swamp
Speaker 2: was just creepy. It hit and there was you know,
Speaker 2: you to hear like it. You'd be sitting there in
Speaker 2: the pitch dark and you're away from all the towns.
Speaker 2: It is black black out there, and then in the
Speaker 2: slump here and it's like some of a gun And
Speaker 2: you know, back then, I didn't have my thermals. I
Speaker 2: didn't even have night beasion. I had flashlights and a
Speaker 2: poloroid basin. But yeah, it was If I'd have had
Speaker 2: today's equipment, it would have been way more awesome, and
Speaker 2: I might have captured something because weird woops, not hoops,
Speaker 2: just all kinds of crazy vocals back there.
Speaker 4: You know, that's awesome. That's why you know, Matt and
Speaker 4: I are very secretive about our research spot, you know,
Speaker 4: because you have to be half crazy to go out
Speaker 4: there without any experience anyhow in terms of navigating just
Speaker 4: the roads, that's not even the hiking's nothing. Terrible parties
Speaker 4: getting to these areas. You could die driving there. It's
Speaker 4: not for the same learn. Yeah.
Speaker 5: And our friend, our friend, our friend, Mike Ann just said,
Speaker 5: and you're gonna drive in at least an hour for gas.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true. You're gonna drive for leading now and
Speaker 4: to get gas.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: But you know, to your point, Mike, these remote places,
Speaker 4: you know, get underserved because of what it takes to
Speaker 4: get there. And not everybody, even bigfoot researchers, not everybody
Speaker 4: wants to put in that physical effort or that amount
Speaker 4: of danger to get out there, because look, there are
Speaker 4: things like poisonous snakes or venomous snakes I'm sorry, not
Speaker 4: poisonous venamous snakes, uh, you know, and insects and and
Speaker 4: things that can cause you more harm. I mean, you
Speaker 4: have more of a chance of getting bitten by a
Speaker 4: mosquito and getting less nile virus and you do seeing
Speaker 4: a big foot. So there are real associated dangers with this,
Speaker 4: and I think you know enough researchers that do this
Speaker 4: hardcore like yourself, don't get enough credit for going to
Speaker 4: those underserved areas because it ain't easy and it takes
Speaker 4: a certain level of commitment and dedication to go there.
Speaker 4: Speaking of flying as.
Speaker 2: Ith in the order I get, I'm still stupid enough
Speaker 2: to think I could do it again. But it's like
Speaker 2: I should know better, but I don't, because yeah, like
Speaker 2: three years yeah, it was three years ago. I fell
Speaker 2: off a cliff and I went about twenty foot.
Speaker 4: He had that video it was on Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Even got the slow mode version and twenty five feet
Speaker 2: I'm managed to drop ninety seven f bombs and yeah,
Speaker 2: it was. It was quite the fall.
Speaker 4: I remember watching that.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it's on the app in the video section.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure. Not that I hope, not that I
Speaker 4: ever laughed at anybody's miserd but you got to check
Speaker 4: that out, folks, because I'm it is. It is again,
Speaker 4: as with Mike, very entertaining. Uh worked the watch well, it.
Speaker 2: Just had to be. It was like made for it
Speaker 2: that the last stupid ass thing I said was famous
Speaker 2: last words. And I got about and I fell off
Speaker 2: the cliff and I just was like I just finished saying,
Speaker 2: you know, this is stupid, this is crazy. I'll probably
Speaker 2: die famous last word down the hill like Nate mileing
Speaker 2: out like yeah you said it now, my ass, Yeah,
Speaker 2: my buddy, I just remember hearing. I'll be right there.
Speaker 2: You stay up there, I'll meet you. I'll walk out.
Speaker 2: I'm fine, I'll be fine.
Speaker 4: You did and you did it out I did.
Speaker 2: I don't have the picture anymore, but I couldn't walk
Speaker 2: straight for a week and my back was black. It
Speaker 2: wasn't purple, it was black. It was just because that's
Speaker 2: what stopped me was a tree. If I wanted to
Speaker 2: hit that tree and just somersaulted, not a thing. It
Speaker 2: was just one of those lucky falls, as if falling
Speaker 2: is unlucky. But I had If I want to hit
Speaker 2: a tree, nothing would have happened. It was like a
Speaker 2: real easy fall, even though it was twenty feet. But no,
Speaker 2: I hit the only tree in the area and that's
Speaker 2: what stopped me at full speed. So you can see
Speaker 2: the tree shake in the video where I hit it,
Speaker 2: and it I mean, it's not a little tree.
Speaker 4: So yeah, just check out the studio. It's working. Monetize
Speaker 4: it that way you make a little money off can
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, another everything on that is one hundred percent free.
Speaker 2: I make zero money off of it. But that's the
Speaker 2: way I because at first everyone was like, well, you
Speaker 2: need to charge this, you need to charge you need
Speaker 2: charge of that, and like the first month I did
Speaker 2: and I was like, that ain't me. That's not who
Speaker 2: I am. So I deleted all that and it screwed
Speaker 2: up the entire app. So then I had to kind
Speaker 2: of rebuild it real quick and dig into the memory.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so there's no charge for that app what soever.
Speaker 2: Nothing on it costs money.
Speaker 4: That's yeah, right, It's a pretty noble gesture because it
Speaker 4: is expensive to run these things, and you know, so
Speaker 4: thanks for providing that to the general public and to
Speaker 4: the rest of us for using it, because I think
Speaker 4: it's a great tool, and I think folks more than
Speaker 4: folks need to contribute to it in terms of information,
Speaker 4: uh and data, so we can all kind of benefit
Speaker 4: through each other's word. My favorite feature of it so
Speaker 4: far is is really the I call it the credibility meter.
Speaker 4: That's what we'll call it, the credibility And I like that.
Speaker 5: I like that a lot.
Speaker 4: It's because I think even if somebody when I'm investigating
Speaker 4: these reports and I go out and just because I
Speaker 4: get it, you know again, I like to tell people
Speaker 4: just because I'm nice and I'm friendly doesn't mean I
Speaker 4: believe it, you know. It means that I'm going to
Speaker 4: listen and be respectful and gather the information that I can.
Speaker 4: Sometimes I don't find a lot of merit in it,
Speaker 4: and I think I don't think there's anything wrong with
Speaker 4: putting a you know what as the investigator is somebody
Speaker 4: who looked at it. This is where I think the
Speaker 4: credibility level is of this. It doesn't mean that people
Speaker 4: are lying or not telling me the truth. Maybe they
Speaker 4: saw something else. Maybe there's something rational that we can
Speaker 4: explain it with that they couldn't at the time they
Speaker 4: reported it, right, And so that credibility meter is pretty cool,
Speaker 4: and I think it's I wish more is I don't
Speaker 4: want someone to seal it from me. Now more people
Speaker 4: had that, you know, the credibility meter own.
Speaker 2: Things, because here's report.
Speaker 4: So I'm gone through.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Mike, I'm sorry, Oh no, no, I'm just
Speaker 2: saying with the credibility meter, I think there's some people
Speaker 2: like need to wear it on a jacket with a
Speaker 2: flight bar or something good.
Speaker 4: Right, you know, I want to believe everybody, but we
Speaker 4: just know that's not realistic and possible, and it doesn't
Speaker 4: mean that there's anything nefarious to it. It's just sometimes
Speaker 4: people are mistaken or there's you know, a lot of
Speaker 4: variables that go into it. And you know that I
Speaker 4: don't that the folks that might be listening that have
Speaker 4: a report, please don't discourage that from reporting it to us.
Speaker 4: You know, just know that as credible researchers, you know,
Speaker 4: we put when we post something like this to talk
Speaker 4: about it and put our names on it. That's our
Speaker 4: credibility attached to it as well, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and Mike, as far as posting your information,
Speaker 2: I have that mill end too, the app that uh
Speaker 2: ghost I think, yeah, have we got a damn light?
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's built into the app that if you
Speaker 2: post a photo or a video, I have a disclaimer
Speaker 2: that I don't own your information. It's your information, but
Speaker 2: the app will put a water mark all the way
Speaker 2: across it that only stays on the app, but that
Speaker 2: so no one can steal your information, you know, steal
Speaker 2: your picture and post it later say look this picture really,
Speaker 2: why does it say the big Foot app all the
Speaker 2: way across it in the watermark?
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, I'm not great.
Speaker 2: Seeing your info. I'm just protecting your info for you.
Speaker 2: And there's a disclaimer right at the top that with
Speaker 2: anything you post that that disclaimer pops up.
Speaker 4: So, Mike, where can folks come listen to you speak
Speaker 4: or find out more about you?
Speaker 2: This year I have the hucking Hills big Foot Festival
Speaker 2: August fourteenth and fifteenth, and I'm the key speaker Bee Mills.
Speaker 2: Give me two hours to play with so and then
Speaker 2: after that I'm up in up By Lake Erie and
Speaker 2: I'll have to find the info. But it's called squatching Sip.
Speaker 2: It's at a winery. It's like something way out of
Speaker 2: my realm with something. I've never been to a winery
Speaker 2: in my life.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: When I was younger, I bought some bottles of wild
Speaker 2: Irish rose, if that count. But yeah, you know, I
Speaker 2: was influenced by Mad Dog and Boone Farm, not actual
Speaker 2: like wineries. So but it'll be up there, and then
Speaker 2: i'll be at the Mohican Festival, and next year I'll
Speaker 2: be at the Fayette County Ordeal there Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5: Okay, very good.
Speaker 4: Matt. You got any final questions or anything for Mike
Speaker 4: before we sign off of the evening?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I think we covered quite a bit.
Speaker 5: It was a it was a great hour. And and uh, Mike,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna jump on that app tomorrow. And uh and
Speaker 5: like I said, Sean and I, you have a couple
Speaker 5: couple decent things we can, uh, we can put on
Speaker 5: there for our part of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4: Yeah, some of the US jumped on already. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So at the top right corner, you can build your
Speaker 2: own profile at your own uh photograph if you want to,
Speaker 2: you know, so people can sometimes a picture with the
Speaker 2: name is great. So and you don't have to. The
Speaker 2: app still works without it. But Sean, you can turn
Speaker 2: off your Wi Fi and the app will still work.
Speaker 4: Every part of that I love.
Speaker 2: That will still work work offline. And but I will
Speaker 2: say this, do not touch the SOS button.
Speaker 5: No, well we know about that one.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. If you go to the big Foot back pack,
Speaker 2: which is your hiking tools, at the bottom, there's an
Speaker 2: SOS button. If you push that, the Coastguard is coming,
Speaker 2: Search and Rescue is coming, This department is coming. I've
Speaker 2: already had one user make that mistake. Do not touch
Speaker 2: the SOS button unless it is an SOS SO because
Speaker 2: they won't find you. It goes by satellite, not white
Speaker 2: up eye.
Speaker 4: Well, listen as somebody as guys that really really preach
Speaker 4: the safety aspect of that. That's pretty phenomenal because sometimes
Speaker 4: we get into some spots where it may be needed,
Speaker 4: you know, so that's pretty awesome. Good job on this
Speaker 4: at Man, Seriously, thanks for spending some time in sharing
Speaker 4: it with us. Definitely have you on again when we'll
Speaker 4: get the rest of the guys here to have some
Speaker 4: laughs and maybe fix us internet tonight where it's not
Speaker 4: so buffering on me yep. But definitely a great show, guys.
Speaker 4: Thanks for tuning in. Folks. I'm Sean Forker, that's Matt Arner,
Speaker 4: He's Mike Cartman. Come back and see us again, folks.
Speaker 4: Sasquatch Experience dot Com. If Henry is here, you know
