14
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.960
<v Speaker 1>to share. Is starting right at the beginning if you

15
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:47.439
<v Speaker 1>don't mind.

16
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well where this all started. So I wasn't really

17
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.399
<v Speaker 2>ever into Sasquatch, you know, I was. I was always

18
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 2>open minded to the existence of Saska because I've had

19
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.120
<v Speaker 2>some really strange experiences in my life that kind of

20
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>opened my mind to.

21
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.120
<v Speaker 3>Just about anything as possible. I guess after you've seen

22
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:13.000
<v Speaker 3>some I've seen.

23
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>But I had all the same doubts with sasquatch. You

24
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>know that everybody has like, oh, nobody's ever killed one,

25
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:23.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, all the people in the woods now with

26
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:24.560
<v Speaker 2>game cameras and.

27
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:25.640
<v Speaker 3>Blah blah blah.

28
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.040
<v Speaker 2>But I was open minded sasquatch, and I've always been

29
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:34.480
<v Speaker 2>entertained by the cryptic, cryptid stuff on YouTube and what

30
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 2>have you. So I was watching the sasquatch stuff on YouTube,

31
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.239
<v Speaker 2>and so started getting fed more and more sasquatch stuff,

32
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:47.120
<v Speaker 2>and then I came across Todd's Standing's work of the

33
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.280
<v Speaker 2>photographs of their faces.

34
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:51.959
<v Speaker 3>You know, and I had to wonder, you know, it's

35
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.000
<v Speaker 3>this legit, you know.

36
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 2>And the more I dug into Todd Standing, the more

37
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I started to think, maybe these are the real deal man,

38
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Maybe this guy did capture actual face as a sasquatch.

39
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 2>So that was kind of where my head was as

40
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 2>I was planning this trip to the mountains to do

41
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:13.479
<v Speaker 2>mining for geodes and you know, crystals and agates.

42
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 3>There's a spot deep deep in the mountains.

43
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 2>Right by the Oregon Washington border, near the coast, and

44
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>it's just a place friends and I go and dig

45
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 2>for rocks. We're just kind of rock hounts, just hobby

46
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:32.719
<v Speaker 2>amateur rock Hounts, and so I was up there, and

47
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 2>I was all alone this day. My dad and my

48
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.439
<v Speaker 2>son had been up there earlier, but they left because

49
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 2>they didn't want to sit there and watch me run power.

50
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 3>Tools and break rocks for hours, you know.

51
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.199
<v Speaker 2>So I was up there alone and just got kind

52
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 2>of burned out on what I was doing, struggling to

53
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.120
<v Speaker 2>get this rock out. Spent hours trying to get this

54
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.199
<v Speaker 2>rock out, and that rock is still there, and the

55
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.560
<v Speaker 2>thought of sasquatch was in the back of my mind,

56
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:03.960
<v Speaker 2>like kept coming up, you know, just thinking about sasquatch

57
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.439
<v Speaker 2>from all this stuff I'd been watching prior to coming up.

58
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.479
<v Speaker 3>And so I said, screw this, I'm going to.

59
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>Climb up to that viewpoint up there, and I'm going

60
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 2>to see if I can find.

61
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:18.000
<v Speaker 3>A sasquatch, you know, just just to take a break.

62
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Just curiosity, just bored them whatever, you know, but just

63
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 2>this weird thought like I'm going to go up there

64
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.120
<v Speaker 2>and just see if I can find one. Never expected

65
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 2>actually find one, you know, it was just this weird

66
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:35.439
<v Speaker 2>whim And so I knew, you know, on the way up,

67
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.759
<v Speaker 2>climbing up there, I would stop and look for rocks

68
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.639
<v Speaker 2>and dig around and so I had a tool in

69
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.120
<v Speaker 2>my hand, and you know, I was climbing the hill,

70
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:47.000
<v Speaker 2>flipping rocks over, digging through the gravel, digging through the dirt.

71
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>And it's kind of a steep embankment that goes up

72
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>out of this sort of rock quarry crater.

73
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.879
<v Speaker 3>In the side of the mountain, and so climbed up there.

74
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's about, oh, I don't know, forty feet elevation,

75
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:09.360
<v Speaker 2>game spaced out over you know, thirty forty fifty yards

76
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 2>or something. Not some crazy climb by any means, but

77
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.600
<v Speaker 2>kind of steep and kind of treacherous. And then at

78
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.360
<v Speaker 2>the very top, you're on this cliff that looks down

79
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 2>into this valley. So it's a cool viewpoint. You could

80
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 2>see mountains and rivers and you can see.

81
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.519
<v Speaker 3>A lot from up there. And so I climb up.

82
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:29.480
<v Speaker 2>There, and I get to the very top and I'm

83
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 2>scanning the valley for I'm talking a matter of seconds,

84
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:37.600
<v Speaker 2>like I hadn't spent any time up there, and I'm

85
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:41.600
<v Speaker 2>looking at something and I'm laughing in my head, like, oh,

86
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:42.240
<v Speaker 2>that's funny.

87
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 3>There's a sasquat right there.

88
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Thinking it was a shadow of stump, thinking it was,

89
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, something that just resembled the sasquad and I'm

90
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:55.480
<v Speaker 2>staring at it, and I mean it was just like

91
00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:01.439
<v Speaker 2>I was dumbfounded as I start seeing this walk, and

92
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm just like, what am I looking at? And you know,

93
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 2>and I've seen bears more times than I can count

94
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 2>in the woods, and I have.

95
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.720
<v Speaker 3>Really good eye sight, you know, I've as.

96
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Good as anybody can have ice sight, and I just

97
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.680
<v Speaker 2>immediately knew what I was looking at wasn't a bear.

98
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 3>It definitely wasn't a person.

99
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:25.600
<v Speaker 2>This valley is really rural, really inaccessible, and I later

100
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.759
<v Speaker 2>learned firsthand just how hard it is to get into

101
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:32.920
<v Speaker 2>this valley. And so I'm watching this scene walk just

102
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:37.160
<v Speaker 2>like taking a casual stroll through these little trees, like

103
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Christmas tree size trees that have been replanted from logging,

104
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.639
<v Speaker 2>and I'm just shocked, you know, staring at this thing,

105
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 2>just questioning my sanity, Like, I mean, who says I'm

106
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.720
<v Speaker 2>going to climb up to a viewpoint and see if

107
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>I can spot a sasquatch And then they go and

108
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.079
<v Speaker 2>then within seconds there staring at one. I mean, it

109
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 2>was just so bizarre, so freaking bizarre. And so I'm

110
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:08.759
<v Speaker 2>watching the single walk and I immediately, I'm digging from

111
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:10.920
<v Speaker 2>my cell phone nothing but rocks.

112
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.759
<v Speaker 3>All my pockets are full of rocks from climbing up there.

113
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.800
<v Speaker 2>You tend to just pick up anything that might be

114
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:18.519
<v Speaker 2>something cool when you're a rockounder.

115
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:19.759
<v Speaker 3>At least that's the way I do it.

116
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 2>I wash them later and decide if this is worth keeping.

117
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:26.079
<v Speaker 2>But as you're hunting, you just kind of grab them.

118
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.680
<v Speaker 2>If they look like they have possibilities of being something cool,

119
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.519
<v Speaker 2>you grab them. And so my pockets were stuffed with rocks,

120
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.240
<v Speaker 2>and you know, no phone. Realized my phone's in my truck,

121
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 2>and I could see my truck from where I was at,

122
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:40.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, it was back down at the bottom of

123
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.720
<v Speaker 2>this cliff. I just climbed and then it was about,

124
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, fifty yards across this gravel lot, parked

125
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>over at the spot where I was initially drilling and

126
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:51.839
<v Speaker 2>trying to get.

127
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:52.800
<v Speaker 3>That rock out.

128
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:54.600
<v Speaker 2>And so I didn't know what to do because I'm

129
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:57.519
<v Speaker 2>staring at a sasquatch, don't have my phone, don't have

130
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:58.240
<v Speaker 2>a camera on.

131
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.639
<v Speaker 3>Me, and I didn't know.

132
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.879
<v Speaker 2>So I'm just completely like unsure what I should do here,

133
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:06.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, Should I run and fetch the phone, should

134
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:10.279
<v Speaker 2>I just stay here and watch this thing. And I

135
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.519
<v Speaker 2>have I've had some incidents in the past that I

136
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 2>wasn't able to capture on film that have just haunted

137
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.639
<v Speaker 2>me for years that I screwed those up and didn't capture.

138
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>And so I was like, no way, at what's the

139
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:26.360
<v Speaker 2>point of even staring at this scene If I can't

140
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:27.600
<v Speaker 2>prove it, nobody's gonna blieve me.

141
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:29.879
<v Speaker 3>So I just bomb down this hill.

142
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:36.319
<v Speaker 2>Jumping, skipping, falling, tripping, hit the asphalt or the gravel,

143
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:40.439
<v Speaker 2>and just beline in a sprint straight to my truck,

144
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.319
<v Speaker 2>open the door, get the phone. I turned to start running,

145
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.560
<v Speaker 2>but then I realized I got all these freaking rocks

146
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.800
<v Speaker 2>in my buckets in there just slow me down, and

147
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:52.360
<v Speaker 2>so I empty all the rocks out pocket, then sprint

148
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:55.759
<v Speaker 2>back across this thing, climb up the cliff, you know,

149
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:58.600
<v Speaker 2>as fast as I could get back to my position,

150
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.000
<v Speaker 2>and immediately I'm looking looking, I can't find it, can't

151
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.279
<v Speaker 2>find it, you know, and I'm just.

152
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:08.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh, no, it's gone. And that was pretty uh.

153
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, my heart sank when I realized I might

154
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:14.079
<v Speaker 2>have screwed up by taking my eyes off of this scene.

155
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:15.800
<v Speaker 3>But then I found it.

156
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Then I saw this little black speck down there, and

157
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.240
<v Speaker 2>it had changed because it wasn't walking anymore.

158
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 3>It was I couldn't tell.

159
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:27.160
<v Speaker 2>If it was sitting, kneeling or what, but it was

160
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:30.879
<v Speaker 2>definitely it because I could see the movement and got

161
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.279
<v Speaker 2>my phone out and started filming it. And you can

162
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.519
<v Speaker 2>even see on that video click film, like you can

163
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.919
<v Speaker 2>hear me just just dying out of breath from the

164
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.679
<v Speaker 2>run and the climb that I just did. And I'm

165
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I film it for a while, but it's at a

166
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:53.600
<v Speaker 2>distance where this phone just didn't doom in very well.

167
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's not great footage, it's not even good footage,

168
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.279
<v Speaker 2>but it's footage.

169
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:00.440
<v Speaker 3>And so I just sat there it.

170
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.919
<v Speaker 2>I moved around a little bit, you know, felt it

171
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.360
<v Speaker 2>from different perspectives. But what kept happening because I was

172
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.600
<v Speaker 2>so high up that these clouds are constantly coming in

173
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.320
<v Speaker 2>this area is a constant struggle with clouds and fog.

174
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:18.320
<v Speaker 3>It's just they.

175
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Come and they go, They come and they go. It'll

176
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.679
<v Speaker 2>be super foggy, and then ten minutes later it's not foggy.

177
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Then you know, the clouds will go up and you'll

178
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.279
<v Speaker 2>be underneath them, and then the clouds.

179
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Will drop below you, and you'll be above them. You know,

180
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:30.919
<v Speaker 3>it'll be.

181
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.799
<v Speaker 2>Blue skies and sunny, but you'll look across the mountains

182
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:36.039
<v Speaker 2>and all you can see is clouds, like you're in

183
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:40.120
<v Speaker 2>an airplane. It's just this constant fluctuation of weather up

184
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:40.639
<v Speaker 2>there like that.

185
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.039
<v Speaker 3>And so that's kind of what kept happening.

186
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.600
<v Speaker 2>The clouds would come in to steal my view, and

187
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.840
<v Speaker 2>so I'd shut the phone off and kind of wait there.

188
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:51.159
<v Speaker 2>Then the cloud would lift, and then I'd keep filming.

189
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:56.080
<v Speaker 2>But I probably have, oh, I don't know, forty five

190
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.320
<v Speaker 2>minutes of footage of this thing spaced out across I

191
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.159
<v Speaker 2>don't know, ten different videos.

192
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:04.480
<v Speaker 3>They're all kind of short videos, just.

193
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Because there was no point to film if all I

194
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.840
<v Speaker 2>could see was fog, you know. But I was up

195
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 2>there for a while watching this thing, and once it

196
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.679
<v Speaker 2>hunkered down, I couldn't tell what it was doing, but

197
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.080
<v Speaker 2>I would see what looked like an arm raise up

198
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.960
<v Speaker 2>every now and then, and so I just kept filming.

199
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.679
<v Speaker 2>I even actually was doing like whoops and making noise,

200
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.519
<v Speaker 2>trying to like spook it because I wanted it to

201
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.320
<v Speaker 2>get up and walk, because I wanted footage of it walking.

202
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.279
<v Speaker 2>But it didn't seem to give a rat about any

203
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.120
<v Speaker 2>of the noise I was making or anything, and I

204
00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:41.960
<v Speaker 2>know it could hear me, really does echo in that canyon.

205
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.039
<v Speaker 3>And I did have this weird I don't know, like.

206
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:49.399
<v Speaker 2>Since this thing knew I was watching it, that it

207
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:50.399
<v Speaker 2>knew I was filming.

208
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why, you know, I mean I did.

209
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.080
<v Speaker 2>I had this just it was almost like not that

210
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.919
<v Speaker 2>I could sense that I belie it was like I

211
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.120
<v Speaker 2>knew I knew it knew that.

212
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.440
<v Speaker 3>I can't explain it. It's really weird.

213
00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:08.120
<v Speaker 2>And then you know, like that went on for a

214
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:12.559
<v Speaker 2>while until eventually the clouds came in and just completely

215
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:16.480
<v Speaker 2>blocked the view till there was nothing I could see,

216
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:20.679
<v Speaker 2>and my wife, who was at my parents' house, my

217
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:23.559
<v Speaker 2>parents are about an hour away, forty minutes away from

218
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:24.240
<v Speaker 2>where I was at.

219
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.759
<v Speaker 3>Everybody was waiting on me to get back for dinner.

220
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:29.960
<v Speaker 2>And I've been out there way longer than I'd promised

221
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:32.799
<v Speaker 2>already at that point, and so you know, once.

222
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:37.240
<v Speaker 3>The clouds completely blocked out my view and I just

223
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:37.720
<v Speaker 3>had to go.

224
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.919
<v Speaker 2>So that's kind of where that first encounter happened. And

225
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.200
<v Speaker 2>that's the story.

226
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:46.559
<v Speaker 3>So are you still there? Yeah?

227
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's I just let you go. So

228
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I got questions for you.

229
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:53.840
<v Speaker 3>So sure.

230
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:56.159
<v Speaker 1>The main question I think most people are thinking is

231
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:00.480
<v Speaker 1>where can we see this forty to fifty minutes?

232
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:04.679
<v Speaker 3>Oh, how can you see it?

233
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Is it possible to see it?

234
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:08.879
<v Speaker 2>I guess, well, yeah, I have the footage. Yeah, I

235
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:15.360
<v Speaker 2>haven't posted anything yet. I've been accumulating massive amounts of video.

236
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.639
<v Speaker 2>I got a pile of micro is SD cards, and

237
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.840
<v Speaker 2>I have tons of video from the research.

238
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:25.799
<v Speaker 3>I've been doing. And I've been kind of waiting.

239
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:31.039
<v Speaker 2>To release everything at once because my hope was to

240
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:35.600
<v Speaker 2>get like a phenomenal piece of footage that we've kind

241
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.759
<v Speaker 2>of like propelled my work, you know, like go viral

242
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.360
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, you know, and then through that piece of footage,

243
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I was hoping to steer anybody wanting to see more

244
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:51.799
<v Speaker 2>to my what will be a YouTube channel where I

245
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:56.679
<v Speaker 2>would have all this stuff. I'm horribly, horribly inept when

246
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.799
<v Speaker 2>it comes to tech. I've never even said up a Facebook,

247
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:05.200
<v Speaker 2>I you know, never was into any of that stuff

248
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:10.200
<v Speaker 2>back you know, MySpace or you know, any of that stuff.

249
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:14.559
<v Speaker 2>I just didn't care about it. And so I'm so

250
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.679
<v Speaker 2>behind and out of touch with how you do all

251
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:22.200
<v Speaker 2>that how you post things, you know, Like I recently

252
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:27.120
<v Speaker 2>downloaded Twitter x or whatever for the first time of

253
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.600
<v Speaker 2>my life, and I barely even got on it, but

254
00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:31.639
<v Speaker 2>maybe just a few minutes here and there.

255
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:33.440
<v Speaker 3>So that's the problem.

256
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Like I don't want to just give my footage away

257
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:38.320
<v Speaker 2>and just let the world have it, you know, So

258
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:39.879
<v Speaker 2>I've kind of been holding onto it.

259
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:44.360
<v Speaker 3>But uh, yeah, I do plan on making it public.

260
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:48.879
<v Speaker 1>I think it's smart that you you put the work

261
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:51.919
<v Speaker 1>in the setup a channel so that all your stuff

262
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:54.440
<v Speaker 1>can be in one area and you don't just put

263
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:57.360
<v Speaker 1>it up on Facebook and then everyone posts it everywhere. Right,

264
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:00.840
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it's a good thing about YouTube now is

265
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:04.399
<v Speaker 1>as long as you have like a email address that

266
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:09.080
<v Speaker 1>you can access, you can log into, you can go

267
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.720
<v Speaker 1>to YouTube, and you can set up a channel relatively easy.

268
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>It's just having that email address that you use to

269
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:19.039
<v Speaker 1>set it up with. Yeah much it the time.

270
00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:20.840
<v Speaker 3>I just bought a laptop.

271
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.480
<v Speaker 2>It like two three days ago, and I had one already,

272
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:28.360
<v Speaker 2>but it was an older one that had been collecting

273
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.840
<v Speaker 2>desk for so long that the batteries went bad on it, and.

274
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:34.440
<v Speaker 3>So I just bought this laptop.

275
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Now I need to get somebody to help me, you know,

276
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.799
<v Speaker 2>get everything set up and really with the footage I've

277
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:46.200
<v Speaker 2>accumulated so far, as far as the research that I've

278
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.879
<v Speaker 2>done following this sighting, I have some pretty amazing, like

279
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:52.919
<v Speaker 2>compared to what I'm seeing, a lot of these other

280
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:56.440
<v Speaker 2>documentaries have really you know, these guys that are out

281
00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:59.279
<v Speaker 2>in the woods, you know, making documentaries about their their

282
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:01.080
<v Speaker 2>SaaS squatch hunting.

283
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:04.679
<v Speaker 1>Big for society, who will be right back after these messages,

284
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:21.240
<v Speaker 1>And all.

285
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:23.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm really seeing is some people sitting around a campfire,

286
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:28.519
<v Speaker 2>walking around the woods talking about stuff. It's like really like,

287
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.240
<v Speaker 2>I was researching for like three weeks and I had

288
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:38.480
<v Speaker 2>found two insanely awesome sites. Are a bunch of upside

289
00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:40.919
<v Speaker 2>down trees? Are You're probably familiar with what an upside

290
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:41.320
<v Speaker 2>down tree?

291
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, absolutely. You said this Oregon Washington border that

292
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:46.399
<v Speaker 1>this happened.

293
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't like to say exactly where it happened,

294
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:53.440
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, yeah, that just gives people an idea of

295
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:54.360
<v Speaker 2>roughly where it is.

296
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:57.639
<v Speaker 3>It's close to the coast and it's close to.

297
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:00.600
<v Speaker 2>The border, which is the Columbia River, you know.

298
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:04.159
<v Speaker 1>So that's awesome. Yeah, there's so many places over there

299
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.679
<v Speaker 1>that that could be that would be absolutely incredible that

300
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:08.320
<v Speaker 1>just I know.

301
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh dude, this area is so just mind blowingly meant

302
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:18.559
<v Speaker 2>for something like a sasquatch. As soon as I started

303
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:21.879
<v Speaker 2>doing the research, like looking into this area, I just

304
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:23.159
<v Speaker 2>was blown.

305
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:24.720
<v Speaker 3>Away by the amount of berries.

306
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:26.799
<v Speaker 2>That was like one of the first things I noticed,

307
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.639
<v Speaker 2>So many species of berries, like every different kind of

308
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:35.440
<v Speaker 2>salmon berry, every different kind of BlackBerry. It just and

309
00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:40.399
<v Speaker 2>then wild grapes and wild strawberries. And what was interesting

310
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:44.559
<v Speaker 2>this fall, because I was really paying attention to it,

311
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:47.320
<v Speaker 2>was as the berries are coming to an end, and

312
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:49.559
<v Speaker 2>still I was just up there recently and I was

313
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:53.720
<v Speaker 2>still finding berries that had just ripened perfectly edible. But

314
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:58.840
<v Speaker 2>the explosion of wild mushrooms that I've been documenting, so

315
00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:02.440
<v Speaker 2>it's almost like these creatures, you know, they yeah, they

316
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:05.480
<v Speaker 2>lose their berries, but then immediately they just have this

317
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.759
<v Speaker 2>massive abundant of mushrooms. And I don't know that they

318
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:11.559
<v Speaker 2>eat mushrooms, but I don't know why they wouldn't. But

319
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.920
<v Speaker 2>and then also like a few months ago, I was

320
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 2>up in that area and I came across this river

321
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:21.240
<v Speaker 2>area with this deep pool, and a fish jumped and

322
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:24.880
<v Speaker 2>I caught this picture on my body cam. I actually

323
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:27.160
<v Speaker 2>didn't even see the fish. It was later when I

324
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:29.519
<v Speaker 2>was looking at the footage I caught this fish fully

325
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:32.200
<v Speaker 2>jumping out of the water on my body cam. But

326
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:34.319
<v Speaker 2>the fish jump, so I went to go see and

327
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't even count how many big steelhead were bedded

328
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.640
<v Speaker 2>down in this small creek, you know, just just this

329
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.400
<v Speaker 2>area is just abundant with food. And they also have

330
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.400
<v Speaker 2>the option of going on a short walk, short walk

331
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:51.960
<v Speaker 2>to them, and they're at the shores of the Clumbia

332
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:53.160
<v Speaker 2>River where you can just.

333
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Dig and dig and dig, and you can.

334
00:17:55.319 --> 00:18:01.279
<v Speaker 2>Fill buckets with clams, freshwater clams. They're they're horrible. I've

335
00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.119
<v Speaker 2>tried to eat them. They're they're they're not good. But

336
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know that the sasquatch wouldn't enjoy them,

337
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, but it's food sources like that are everywhere,

338
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, in the UH. Something we didn't get into

339
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.559
<v Speaker 2>about the when I saw the sasquatch. I came back

340
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:22.039
<v Speaker 2>the next day because we had better weather, and UH,

341
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:25.680
<v Speaker 2>I drove up climb back up to the viewpoint, and

342
00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:29.640
<v Speaker 2>immediately I had binoculars this time, and I immediately spot

343
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.240
<v Speaker 2>exactly where the sasquatch was, and there was a stump there,

344
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:35.680
<v Speaker 2>a big old stump. I couldn't even tell there was

345
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:37.680
<v Speaker 2>a stump there the day before. I could just see

346
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.160
<v Speaker 2>the sasquatch, which tells me its body is pretty big,

347
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.079
<v Speaker 2>because it was completely blocking out the existence of this stump.

348
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:48.599
<v Speaker 2>And so then I started looking around at all these

349
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:53.240
<v Speaker 2>other stumps in this valley, and every stump in this

350
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:57.160
<v Speaker 2>valley has been tore apart, has been dug through, because

351
00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.440
<v Speaker 2>there's particles and pieces of the.

352
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:02.039
<v Speaker 3>Stump strewn about all around these stumps.

353
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Because you can see this red duff of the the

354
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:10.039
<v Speaker 2>innerds of the stump, and so that's, you know, to me, Okay,

355
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:13.200
<v Speaker 2>So they're eating grubs out of the stumps, you know,

356
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:15.880
<v Speaker 2>that's always available that time of year when the bugs

357
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:19.279
<v Speaker 2>are hatching, and that's you know, a pretty good protein

358
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:20.119
<v Speaker 2>source right there.

359
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:21.960
<v Speaker 3>And then they got the clams.

360
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:26.799
<v Speaker 2>Which is a guaranteed no effort meal right there, you know.

361
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:29.240
<v Speaker 2>And so they just things like that, and then there

362
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:32.240
<v Speaker 2>you obviously there's deer, and there's elk, and there's you know,

363
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:36.000
<v Speaker 2>I got a video one evening of a porcupine walking

364
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:39.839
<v Speaker 2>right by me, you know, which is all of that

365
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:44.079
<v Speaker 2>is edible. You know, and uh, I don't know that

366
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:47.119
<v Speaker 2>they would eat a porcupine, but they're probably smart enough

367
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.200
<v Speaker 2>to figure out a way to get past those quills,

368
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:53.000
<v Speaker 2>you know. I mean, there's just so much just food,

369
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:57.880
<v Speaker 2>food galore. I mean, it's really just a sasquatch utopia

370
00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:01.839
<v Speaker 2>up there, and there's a lot of there and bear

371
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:05.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, I hear a lot of stuff that you know,

372
00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:09.160
<v Speaker 2>sasquatch habitats are going to be, you know, really favorable

373
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:12.240
<v Speaker 2>to bears and vice versa, and so that kind of

374
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:17.079
<v Speaker 2>makes sense, you know that they would both be omnivores,

375
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:19.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, and they'd eat some of the same stuff

376
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:19.839
<v Speaker 2>out there.

377
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:21.839
<v Speaker 3>Do you want me to get into some of my

378
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:26.319
<v Speaker 3>discoveries or do you have questions for me?

379
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:31.319
<v Speaker 1>I was actually just gonna kinda put us towards that direction. Yeah,

380
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:34.440
<v Speaker 1>if you don't mind sharing other things you may have

381
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:38.160
<v Speaker 1>captured on video, or you said you have some discoveries

382
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:39.720
<v Speaker 1>as well, that would be fantastic.

383
00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, dude, Actually, this is something that I guess that

384
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:48.680
<v Speaker 2>we can talk about. Coincidentally, this morning, when I went

385
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.799
<v Speaker 2>to check my emails, you had responded, and I also

386
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:58.400
<v Speaker 2>got a response from this DNA company that I never

387
00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:00.119
<v Speaker 2>in a million years, thought was gonna get.

388
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Because I am confident that I.

389
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:09.119
<v Speaker 2>Have two different pieces of evidence that are just going

390
00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:13.880
<v Speaker 2>to be covered in Sasquats DNA, and I guess I

391
00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:21.519
<v Speaker 2>could explain that story. So when I found the Sasquatch,

392
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:27.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, I was hunting rocks, digging agots out of

393
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:32.200
<v Speaker 2>the mountain, and I see the Sasquatch, so I didn't

394
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:35.359
<v Speaker 2>care about rocks anymore. I just wanted to investigate sasquats.

395
00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:38.559
<v Speaker 2>You know about a lot of gear, a lot of equipment,

396
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:41.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot of everything, And started trying to figure out

397
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:44.200
<v Speaker 2>how to get in and out of this valley, and

398
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:47.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, trying to investigate some of these rivers up

399
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:49.640
<v Speaker 2>there that are really hard to get to. This is

400
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:53.079
<v Speaker 2>all real rural areas. I started investigating sasquatchs and I

401
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:55.799
<v Speaker 2>start finding my way into the bottom of these canyons,

402
00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:59.920
<v Speaker 2>in the bottom of these valleys, and I'm alone nine

403
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.759
<v Speaker 2>percent of the time. I'm alone out there, which is

404
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:05.400
<v Speaker 2>a little nerve wracking. Especially when I first started doing it,

405
00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:08.039
<v Speaker 2>it was more nerve racking. I've gotten a little more

406
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:11.480
<v Speaker 2>used to it after sleeping alone out there in.

407
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:13.240
<v Speaker 3>The woods and a tent and doing a.

408
00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Bunch of stuff alone kind of if it's something you've

409
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:20.440
<v Speaker 2>never done before. You know, at first it's a little intimidating,

410
00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:24.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, especially when you know that there's sasquatches out there,

411
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:28.000
<v Speaker 2>because that you know, it wasn't that long ago that

412
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:31.519
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't have even had that fear really going out

413
00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:34.759
<v Speaker 2>in the woods by myself of a sasquatch. But now

414
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:36.799
<v Speaker 2>that I know that they're actually out there, you know,

415
00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:39.440
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of a you're looking over your shoulder a

416
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:41.599
<v Speaker 2>bit more, you know, when you're all alone out there,

417
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:44.559
<v Speaker 2>you got bears and cougar's, you know, And now I

418
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:49.559
<v Speaker 2>know that there are sasquatches. So anyway, as I'm getting

419
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:52.680
<v Speaker 2>into these valleys, getting into these canyons, I start finding

420
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:57.599
<v Speaker 2>rocks like I just never in a million years thought

421
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:01.400
<v Speaker 2>I would ever find. I'm talking AGTs bigger than my head.

422
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:04.839
<v Speaker 2>I just hiked out a seventy seven pound blue agate

423
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:09.519
<v Speaker 2>the other day, just this huge, just beautiful agate, and

424
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:13.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm finding all these different kinds of rocks like opals

425
00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:18.960
<v Speaker 2>and crazy crystals and just I mean it's like insane,

426
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:21.880
<v Speaker 2>like I just couldn't even believe what I was finding.

427
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:24.359
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not out there looking for rocks, but then

428
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:25.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm finding them.

429
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:27.640
<v Speaker 3>So I'm getting these backpack loads of.

430
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:31.359
<v Speaker 2>Rocks, you know, and hiking freaking rocks out of canyons

431
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:33.640
<v Speaker 2>is a nightmare, and I've been doing a lot of it.

432
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:38.240
<v Speaker 2>And so I started showing these rocks to other friends

433
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:42.279
<v Speaker 2>of mine and talking about them, you know. And my

434
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:49.400
<v Speaker 2>older brother's friends husband is a geologist. You know, it's

435
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:53.799
<v Speaker 2>a weird connection to this geologists. Actually his girlfriend's best

436
00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:56.640
<v Speaker 2>friend's husband, and I've met him at some parties at

437
00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:58.400
<v Speaker 2>their house a couple times and stuff like that.

438
00:23:58.440 --> 00:23:58.920
<v Speaker 3>Cool guy.

439
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:02.559
<v Speaker 2>He's a geol just and I sent him some pictures

440
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:05.279
<v Speaker 2>of some of the rocks, just to identify what some

441
00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:08.160
<v Speaker 2>of these rocks were. And you know, he told me

442
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:11.200
<v Speaker 2>what he could you know by looking at the pictures.

443
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:12.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's probably this, probably that, you know.

444
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:14.799
<v Speaker 2>And he got excited and wanted to come out and

445
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:17.680
<v Speaker 2>wanted to see where I'm getting these rocks. He's not

446
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:20.599
<v Speaker 2>a sasquatch guy, He's a rock guy. And so I

447
00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:21.960
<v Speaker 2>agreed to take him out.

448
00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:22.440
<v Speaker 3>On a journey.

449
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:28.200
<v Speaker 2>And I warned him this pretty brutal, you know, And

450
00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:31.039
<v Speaker 2>I took him through a twelve and a half hour

451
00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:35.839
<v Speaker 2>hike but on the way to the to do the hike,

452
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:37.119
<v Speaker 2>it was probably.

453
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:41.039
<v Speaker 3>Like six am. This is, you know, months ago as daylight.

454
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:45.240
<v Speaker 2>At six am, and we're entering my area and I

455
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:51.680
<v Speaker 2>see three new huge arch trees, giant tree bends, and

456
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:57.920
<v Speaker 2>these are impossible to ever blame on mother nature. Yeah,

457
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure people would try to blame them on mother nature,

458
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:03.039
<v Speaker 2>but I will just laugh at him. I do a

459
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:05.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of tree removal. One thing I know is trees

460
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:09.319
<v Speaker 2>in how they behave when they break and fall.

461
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:09.839
<v Speaker 3>And get cut down.

462
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm as close to an expert on the

463
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:15.119
<v Speaker 2>subject as really anybody could.

464
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:15.839
<v Speaker 3>Ever claim to be.

465
00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:21.880
<v Speaker 2>And so these tree bends are just monstrously, just insanely

466
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:25.559
<v Speaker 2>awesome for me because I was wondering at this time

467
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:28.519
<v Speaker 2>period if the sasquatch had moved out of that area

468
00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:29.640
<v Speaker 2>because hunting.

469
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:33.920
<v Speaker 3>Season was coming in, and I had just kind of.

470
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:36.599
<v Speaker 2>Thought, yeah, they probably they probably take off from here

471
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:38.839
<v Speaker 2>and go somewhere else because of all the hunters that

472
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:43.319
<v Speaker 2>come up in here. And this particular area where these

473
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:46.799
<v Speaker 2>tree bends is one of the first places I started investigating,

474
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:49.920
<v Speaker 2>and I called it tree break Alley.

475
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:51.519
<v Speaker 3>That was just a nickname I gave it.

476
00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Because it was the first place I just started finding

477
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:56.960
<v Speaker 2>tree breaks all over the place, and so it was

478
00:25:57.079 --> 00:25:59.880
<v Speaker 2>just kind of ironic that that's the area where they

479
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:04.599
<v Speaker 2>put these huge bends, giant bends, and like, I almost

480
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:06.720
<v Speaker 2>took it as it was a message to me directly,

481
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:09.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, like you think we're gonna get chased off

482
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:10.079
<v Speaker 2>by hunters.

483
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:11.359
<v Speaker 3>You know, look what we're doing.

484
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Right in the opening week of bo and you know,

485
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:20.799
<v Speaker 2>black Powder season, these creatures came in and just do

486
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:25.880
<v Speaker 2>this insanely impossible feat, you know, right then when hunting season.

487
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:26.960
<v Speaker 3>Was just starting to pop off.

488
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:31.680
<v Speaker 2>And so I see these tree bends and I'm kind

489
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:32.559
<v Speaker 2>of freaking out, and the.

490
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:33.640
<v Speaker 3>Geologist is with me.

491
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:37.559
<v Speaker 2>He's aware of the whole sasquatch thing, but he wasn't,

492
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:40.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, a big believer or whatever. He's He's like,

493
00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:43.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm open minded to it, dude, but I don't. I

494
00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:45.519
<v Speaker 2>don't think that they're sasquatch out here. You know, that

495
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:49.079
<v Speaker 2>was kind of his attitude. And we're up there for rocks.

496
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:51.079
<v Speaker 2>But I see these tree bends. So I pull over

497
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:53.039
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, dude, you can sit in the car.

498
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:55.880
<v Speaker 2>I gotta go look at these tree bends. And so

499
00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:00.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm filming the whole time. I might have stunglasses that

500
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:00.920
<v Speaker 2>are cameras.

501
00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:04.079
<v Speaker 3>I have a body cam, I have a helmet cam, and.

502
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Those are just cameras just to record sort of the

503
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:10.000
<v Speaker 2>backdrop of everything. Because then I have, you know, other

504
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:13.039
<v Speaker 2>cameras I got on my phone. Obviously I do use

505
00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:15.680
<v Speaker 2>my phone quite a bit, but I have like my

506
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:18.720
<v Speaker 2>long distance cameras for shooting. I can get footage a

507
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:22.039
<v Speaker 2>mile away with them, and all. I have way too

508
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:26.799
<v Speaker 2>many cameras anyway. So We're going down to the tree bend,

509
00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:30.960
<v Speaker 2>one of these tree bends, and I'm videoing it and

510
00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm documenting because you could see this tree was bent

511
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:38.839
<v Speaker 2>down and wedged up against another tree, and you could

512
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:42.480
<v Speaker 2>see these crazy scrapes going up and down, up and

513
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:46.640
<v Speaker 2>down where they bent this tree and bent it into

514
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:49.599
<v Speaker 2>this way and wedged it up into this tree. I mean,

515
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:52.079
<v Speaker 2>it just doesn't make any sense. The tree should have

516
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:54.319
<v Speaker 2>broke or the roots should have popped up out of

517
00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:57.440
<v Speaker 2>the ground, but they didn't in these big old scars

518
00:27:57.480 --> 00:28:00.480
<v Speaker 2>in this other tree, you know. And I'm document this

519
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:03.839
<v Speaker 2>and I'm talking about all of this. And while this

520
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:06.359
<v Speaker 2>is going on, the geologist catches up to me, and

521
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:09.079
<v Speaker 2>he's looking at everything, you know, and kind of scratching

522
00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:13.440
<v Speaker 2>his head. And then he's he goes, hey, hey, look

523
00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:15.599
<v Speaker 2>at this, you know, And I turn and he's holding

524
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:17.599
<v Speaker 2>this big old pine cone. Right.

525
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:20.519
<v Speaker 3>He's a scientist, you know, he's a smart guy. And

526
00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:22.119
<v Speaker 3>Andy he goes, he's like, dude.

527
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Don't you understand, like this isn't from these trees, like

528
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:28.400
<v Speaker 2>this is this is not a tree that is native

529
00:28:28.440 --> 00:28:29.039
<v Speaker 2>to this area.

530
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:32.279
<v Speaker 3>This is this is kind of weird. And I'm thinking,

531
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:35.079
<v Speaker 3>you're looking at a pinecone thing, and a pine.

532
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:38.359
<v Speaker 2>Cone's weird, like when you got this giant, impossible tree

533
00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:39.640
<v Speaker 2>structure right above.

534
00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:42.200
<v Speaker 3>You, you know. But but then I understand what he's saying.

535
00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:46.079
<v Speaker 2>He's like, dude, this was directly under this bent tree

536
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:48.880
<v Speaker 2>and it had to have been brought here.

537
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:52.480
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, okay, I get what you're saying. So

538
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:54.279
<v Speaker 3>so he's holding it, but he's being careful.

539
00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:57.720
<v Speaker 2>He's just barely holding it with his like fingertips, and

540
00:28:57.720 --> 00:28:59.680
<v Speaker 2>and he hands it to me, and I'm looking at

541
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:01.720
<v Speaker 2>it and I'm like, yeah, dude, and it looked like

542
00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:04.920
<v Speaker 2>it had teeth mark in it, like I'm assuming that

543
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:09.359
<v Speaker 2>the sasquatch may have actually stuck this thing in its

544
00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:10.039
<v Speaker 2>mouth just.

545
00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:11.359
<v Speaker 3>To hang on to it or something.

546
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:14.160
<v Speaker 2>While it was using its hands to do something else,

547
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:19.119
<v Speaker 2>it was holding this pine cone in its teeth. And

548
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:22.200
<v Speaker 2>so all that was documented on camera, the whole finding

549
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:24.440
<v Speaker 2>of this pine cone. And I put it in a

550
00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:27.920
<v Speaker 2>plastic baggie and I kept this pine cone.

551
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:33.400
<v Speaker 3>And that day he and I went on that hike.

552
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:36.319
<v Speaker 3>You know, we went on a crazy journey.

553
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:39.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we started hiking at seven something in the

554
00:29:39.079 --> 00:29:42.039
<v Speaker 2>morning and we went down to the bottom of this canyon,

555
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:48.359
<v Speaker 2>hiked this beautiful, insane river, found a bunch of rocks.

556
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Big for SOCIETYHO will be right back after these messages.

557
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:10.200
<v Speaker 2>I set up some game cameras and then we had

558
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:12.559
<v Speaker 2>to climb out, and we didn't make it back to

559
00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:15.279
<v Speaker 2>my trip till eight thirty at night. It was just

560
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:18.480
<v Speaker 2>getting dark. I mean, if we would have, we could

561
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:19.480
<v Speaker 2>have been in a bad way.

562
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:21.200
<v Speaker 3>We luckily got out just in time.

563
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:25.559
<v Speaker 2>But it was in that hike I found so many

564
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:29.759
<v Speaker 2>different tree breaks, Like I've found so so many different

565
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:34.440
<v Speaker 2>things that are not natural in this area. It's gotten

566
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:37.440
<v Speaker 2>to the point where it's not even we're talking about

567
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:41.200
<v Speaker 2>them anymore, you know, like making another video of trees

568
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.119
<v Speaker 2>that have been topped. When tree tops don't break very easily.

569
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's a whole nother discussion that I'm I'm

570
00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:51.359
<v Speaker 2>actually making a video about right now, a series of

571
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:54.799
<v Speaker 2>videos about how rare it is for trees to lose

572
00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:58.720
<v Speaker 2>their tops. Healthy green trees tops don't break. Yet I'm

573
00:30:58.759 --> 00:31:03.559
<v Speaker 2>finding areas where there'll be fifteen to twenty trees that

574
00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:06.200
<v Speaker 2>have all lost their tops in one.

575
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:08.839
<v Speaker 3>Acre of forest.

576
00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:13.599
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's just it's really it's almost impossible for

577
00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:17.880
<v Speaker 2>a healthy green tree to have its top break. Wind

578
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:22.359
<v Speaker 2>can't do it, snow won't do it. Lightning's the only

579
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:25.599
<v Speaker 2>thing that can do it. And yet I'm finding areas

580
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:30.319
<v Speaker 2>where something has gone through and just topped so many trees.

581
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:31.960
<v Speaker 3>And I'm finding.

582
00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:35.359
<v Speaker 2>These really crazy trail systems, and I've got footprint I've

583
00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:39.119
<v Speaker 2>found so many footprints here. I haven't cast any footprints

584
00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:44.200
<v Speaker 2>because the forest floors out there, everything's so steep so

585
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:48.079
<v Speaker 2>and everything's pine needles and moths and so the footprints

586
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:51.799
<v Speaker 2>you get out there they're not like good castable footprints.

587
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:55.079
<v Speaker 2>But I have one in particular that's just amazing. You

588
00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:59.039
<v Speaker 2>can see the big toe and the next toe where

589
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:01.759
<v Speaker 2>it cut through the moss and made this footprint.

590
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:04.359
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a three D scanner on your phone

591
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:04.839
<v Speaker 1>right now?

592
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:07.799
<v Speaker 3>Not that I'm aware of.

593
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:09.319
<v Speaker 1>No, what kind of phone do you have?

594
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:15.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh it's an Android? What is this thing? I think

595
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:18.160
<v Speaker 3>it's a Galaxy something I don't know.

596
00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:24.119
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So you can get apps. For example, Android has

597
00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:27.759
<v Speaker 1>one called polycam where you can use your phone to

598
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:32.319
<v Speaker 1>scan the actual footprint and then you can see how

599
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:34.799
<v Speaker 1>deep down it goes and you can just get like

600
00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a whole viewpoint of it. And it's really cool. So

601
00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:39.799
<v Speaker 1>I would look into that.

602
00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:42.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yep, that would be cool.

603
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:45.359
<v Speaker 2>And then when I do that scan, can it become

604
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:48.079
<v Speaker 2>recorded in like video format?

605
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:48.839
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

606
00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:51.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? So I know guys that they will do that

607
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:54.759
<v Speaker 1>and then they'll put like their little videos from it

608
00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:58.200
<v Speaker 1>inside their other videos and they can share the videos

609
00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:01.720
<v Speaker 1>with other people. And yeah, so I'm okay. I don't

610
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:03.599
<v Speaker 1>know about PINETI, but I'd love.

611
00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:06.119
<v Speaker 3>To learn how to do that. There's so much stuff

612
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:07.319
<v Speaker 3>I need to learn how to do.

613
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:11.240
<v Speaker 2>It's it's so frustrating not having the tech skills I need.

614
00:33:11.799 --> 00:33:13.880
<v Speaker 3>So when I got home, I put the pine cone

615
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:14.119
<v Speaker 3>in the.

616
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Freezer and I I started looking at comparisons to what

617
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:26.119
<v Speaker 2>this pine cone is, and it's I'm I'm not you know,

618
00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:29.720
<v Speaker 2>I guess, I'm I'm I could be wrong, but I

619
00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:32.920
<v Speaker 2>looked at a lot of comparisons, and I'm pretty confident

620
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:37.039
<v Speaker 2>it's called the celllpine, you know, pine tree, and those

621
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:41.640
<v Speaker 2>are a really high elevation tree. And I looked into

622
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:44.359
<v Speaker 2>the maps of where they should be and where they grow,

623
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:48.400
<v Speaker 2>and there's none that should be in this area. And

624
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.079
<v Speaker 2>all of the trees in this area have all been

625
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:56.440
<v Speaker 2>planted by logging companies and they're not going to plant

626
00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:58.960
<v Speaker 2>cell valpine there because it's not going to do well.

627
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:03.119
<v Speaker 2>It's probably not going to grow at all. Uh. And

628
00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:06.839
<v Speaker 2>then I looked in further about the subalpine trees and

629
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:11.880
<v Speaker 2>found all this literature about all these uses that the

630
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Native Americans used to use those trees for for medicines,

631
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:20.880
<v Speaker 2>for treating different ailments, like, I mean, so much stuff.

632
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.760
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't believe how much there was about this tree,

633
00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:26.519
<v Speaker 2>about how it was, you know, a major part.

634
00:34:26.280 --> 00:34:28.360
<v Speaker 3>Of their medicines and stuff, the.

635
00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Native Americans, and so that was all pretty compelling and interesting,

636
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:35.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, and I it was just strange, you know,

637
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:41.320
<v Speaker 2>that it appeared right there underneath the bent tree, but

638
00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:44.519
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get to see how it was laying on

639
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:47.119
<v Speaker 2>the ground when the geologists found it. He found it

640
00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:48.760
<v Speaker 2>and showed it to me, so the first time I

641
00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:51.360
<v Speaker 2>saw it, it was in his hand. But then I

642
00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:55.440
<v Speaker 2>want to jump jump ahead to my most recent trip

643
00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:58.719
<v Speaker 2>up there. I took my son with me. He's nine

644
00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:03.280
<v Speaker 2>years old, and I've been up there by myself enough,

645
00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I've kind of concluded, you know, that it's it's safe.

646
00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:13.400
<v Speaker 2>And he and I were camping. I cut this road

647
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:17.519
<v Speaker 2>that had been overgrown for like a decade, and.

648
00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:18.800
<v Speaker 3>I cleared it.

649
00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:21.119
<v Speaker 2>And I cleared about a quarter mile of this road

650
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:24.239
<v Speaker 2>with my chainsaws so I could drive in there and camp.

651
00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:26.559
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to camp in a section of the forest

652
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:30.039
<v Speaker 2>that nobody's camped in in a long time. But having

653
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:32.400
<v Speaker 2>my son there, I needed to have my truck nearby,

654
00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:35.559
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I wanted to bring enough supplies so

655
00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:38.840
<v Speaker 2>it was comfortable for him. And if I had been

656
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:41.000
<v Speaker 2>by myself, I could have just hiked into the woods

657
00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:43.599
<v Speaker 2>and camped, you know, in some area way off the

658
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:44.199
<v Speaker 2>beaten path.

659
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:47.280
<v Speaker 3>But having my son with me, I had.

660
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:49.800
<v Speaker 2>My generator, and I had our big fancy tent, and

661
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:52.960
<v Speaker 2>I had all kinds of crap just to create more

662
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:56.039
<v Speaker 2>of like a glamping type campsite for him.

663
00:35:56.320 --> 00:35:57.599
<v Speaker 3>And so anyway, I cut.

664
00:35:57.400 --> 00:36:02.079
<v Speaker 2>The road out made this really cool camp and he

665
00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and I set out one day just to go do

666
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:11.119
<v Speaker 2>some sasquatch hunting investigating, and I took him to when

667
00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:15.360
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned the tree bends with the geologist, I mentioned

668
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:18.320
<v Speaker 2>that there was three of them, and the geologists and

669
00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:20.079
<v Speaker 2>I only went and looked at one of them, and

670
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:21.920
<v Speaker 2>the other one I just saw from the road.

671
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:23.559
<v Speaker 3>It was a ways down in the forest.

672
00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:26.440
<v Speaker 2>And you know, we had another mission that day that

673
00:36:26.599 --> 00:36:28.599
<v Speaker 2>was more important. We were trying to get into that canyon,

674
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:31.199
<v Speaker 2>so I didn't investigate the other one. So my son

675
00:36:31.239 --> 00:36:34.920
<v Speaker 2>and I went to this tree bend and we're checking

676
00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:36.679
<v Speaker 2>it out, and it's the same scenario.

677
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:40.079
<v Speaker 3>The tree is bent over in a very weird way.

678
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:43.880
<v Speaker 2>It's wedged up against another tree, and there's these big

679
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:46.920
<v Speaker 2>old scars going up and down that other tree where

680
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:50.079
<v Speaker 2>you can tell that it had to be like rubbed

681
00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:52.440
<v Speaker 2>up and down and wedged, you know, as it was

682
00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:55.800
<v Speaker 2>bent or formed into the way of which it looked.

683
00:36:56.320 --> 00:36:58.639
<v Speaker 2>And so I'm filming this and filming that, and all

684
00:36:58.639 --> 00:36:59.599
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden my son.

685
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:01.800
<v Speaker 3>He goes, hey, Dad, what's that?

686
00:37:03.079 --> 00:37:05.519
<v Speaker 2>And I turn around and I'm filming, and I'm looking,

687
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:08.280
<v Speaker 2>and my son is pointing at the ground to one

688
00:37:08.280 --> 00:37:12.199
<v Speaker 2>of those sub alpine pine cones that was carefully and

689
00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:14.920
<v Speaker 2>intentionally stuck in the mud.

690
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:17.400
<v Speaker 3>So it was pointing straight up to the sky.

691
00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was like and luckily I caught all

692
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:24.519
<v Speaker 2>this on camera, like it was all being filmed, and

693
00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:27.760
<v Speaker 2>it was placed in this way that is just completely unnatural,

694
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:31.119
<v Speaker 2>like a pine cone. Well, for one thing, pine cone's

695
00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:33.679
<v Speaker 2>this big. This type of pinecone just don't exist in

696
00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:37.400
<v Speaker 2>this forest. I've never seen any like it. And I've spent.

697
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:39.440
<v Speaker 3>A lot of time in our mountains and forests.

698
00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:43.480
<v Speaker 2>I grew up in the mountains and forests around Packward, Washington.

699
00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:45.599
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'm a mountain kid like.

700
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:47.599
<v Speaker 2>I spent a lot of time in the forest, and

701
00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:51.239
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen pinegunes like this in our forest. In

702
00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:53.480
<v Speaker 2>the way this pine cone was stuck in the mud,

703
00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:57.000
<v Speaker 2>there's no doubt in my mind it had to have

704
00:37:57.039 --> 00:38:01.760
<v Speaker 2>been done by hands, by coordinating hands that pressed it

705
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:03.400
<v Speaker 2>and stuck it in the mud.

706
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:06.039
<v Speaker 3>It just there's no way it dropped.

707
00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Phil got stepped on by a deer or something and

708
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:12.960
<v Speaker 2>got shoved into the like it just there's no way.

709
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:14.960
<v Speaker 3>It was perfectly placed.

710
00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:19.559
<v Speaker 2>Pointing, perfectly straight up, intentionally put there directly underneath this

711
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:22.880
<v Speaker 2>tree bend, you know. And so I'm just like shocked,

712
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:25.599
<v Speaker 2>like with another pine gone, you know, and this one,

713
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:30.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, didn't get touched by the geologist. Nobody's touched it.

714
00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:32.280
<v Speaker 2>So I went up to my truck and got a

715
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:35.039
<v Speaker 2>plastic baggy and came down, and I even had my

716
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:38.599
<v Speaker 2>son video as I pulled it from the mud, just

717
00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:40.760
<v Speaker 2>to show, like, and you could tell by when I

718
00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:43.079
<v Speaker 2>pulled it out of the mud that it had been

719
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:44.800
<v Speaker 2>in the mud a little while. I had a little

720
00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:47.599
<v Speaker 2>bit of like mold that was growing around the edges

721
00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:49.519
<v Speaker 2>of it. As it pulled out of the mud. It

722
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:52.320
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of mud like stuck to it, you know,

723
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:55.639
<v Speaker 2>was all clumped to it. It isn't like anybody that

724
00:38:55.760 --> 00:39:00.280
<v Speaker 2>watches me remove that thing will will no immediately that

725
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:03.039
<v Speaker 2>it isn't something I could have just done that day.

726
00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Like you can clearly tell it had been there for

727
00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:08.519
<v Speaker 2>a few weeks at least, just by the way it

728
00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:12.440
<v Speaker 2>was when I removed it. And so I have these

729
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:16.920
<v Speaker 2>two pine cones you know that. I know we're put

730
00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:21.000
<v Speaker 2>there by Sasquatch. Of course, people could debate that or whatever.

731
00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:25.800
<v Speaker 2>And I've been wanting to figure out how I can

732
00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:29.440
<v Speaker 2>move forward with getting these things tested or investigated or something.

733
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:33.719
<v Speaker 2>And I had sent a lot of emails out to

734
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:38.519
<v Speaker 2>different Sasquatch stuff people. I've talked on the phone to

735
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:41.760
<v Speaker 2>a few people, you know, I most people are just

736
00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:46.119
<v Speaker 2>gonna try this person or you know, blah blah blah.

737
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:48.519
<v Speaker 2>And so I sent some emails out to some actual

738
00:39:48.760 --> 00:39:52.119
<v Speaker 2>DNA labs. You know, I figured most of them would

739
00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:55.400
<v Speaker 2>just laugh. Well, this morning I got a response from

740
00:39:55.400 --> 00:40:00.840
<v Speaker 2>one of them and call themselves doctor something something from

741
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:03.800
<v Speaker 2>some lab somewhere, and he said he wants to set

742
00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:08.719
<v Speaker 2>up a video call this sometime this week to talk

743
00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:11.320
<v Speaker 2>to me about, you know, what I have. And so

744
00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:14.199
<v Speaker 2>I was pretty blown away by that, like, wow, you know,

745
00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:17.360
<v Speaker 2>maybe this guy's a believer or who knows, you know,

746
00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:20.519
<v Speaker 2>So it'd be interesting to see what comes of that.

747
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:25.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty paranoid and distrusting with people in general, so

748
00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:27.480
<v Speaker 2>it'd be kind of hard for me to mail them

749
00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:31.239
<v Speaker 2>off to some lab and just hope that they don't

750
00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:33.079
<v Speaker 2>just get burnt, you know, what I mean, like, I

751
00:40:33.119 --> 00:40:36.760
<v Speaker 2>don't know, but we'll cross that bridge women get there.

752
00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:40.079
<v Speaker 2>I guess I was just pretty excited that somebody even

753
00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:43.719
<v Speaker 2>gives a care. You know, do you want to hear

754
00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:46.440
<v Speaker 2>more stuff about experiences?

755
00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:49.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I mean, yeah, anything you'd like to share.

756
00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is some of the more. I mean,

757
00:40:53.920 --> 00:40:57.239
<v Speaker 1>this is pretty I think it's pretty exciting stuff. And

758
00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:01.559
<v Speaker 1>you're not saying the area, but any of the area

759
00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:06.920
<v Speaker 1>that you're alluding to. I mean, yeah, this, it's it's awesome.

760
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:09.280
<v Speaker 1>So I would love if you have more to share.

761
00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:10.039
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to hear it.

762
00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:14.079
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I mean I got plenty sure. I mean,

763
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:15.880
<v Speaker 3>just just the day.

764
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:18.920
<v Speaker 2>My son and I were up there camping for four days,

765
00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:23.840
<v Speaker 2>three nights, and it was crazy. As we're leaving, he's

766
00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:27.800
<v Speaker 2>getting pretty burned out on dad's obsession with turning down

767
00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:31.119
<v Speaker 2>every road and seeing something and running up into the

768
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:33.639
<v Speaker 2>woods with my camera and just seeing like I could find.

769
00:41:33.719 --> 00:41:36.360
<v Speaker 2>And you know, he's only nine years old. He's the

770
00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:37.480
<v Speaker 2>coolest nine.

771
00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:38.239
<v Speaker 3>Year old on Earth.

772
00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:41.639
<v Speaker 2>And he's been the Trooper of all troopers the whole time,

773
00:41:41.719 --> 00:41:45.719
<v Speaker 2>no complaining. I'm taking him through some miserable stuff. Been

774
00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:47.840
<v Speaker 2>a great kid, but he's definitely getting tired. He just

775
00:41:47.880 --> 00:41:52.000
<v Speaker 2>wants to go home, you know. And as we're driving out,

776
00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:54.960
<v Speaker 2>we're almost off the mountain, and I'm like, you know what, dude,

777
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I've never checked this road out and he just gives

778
00:41:57.039 --> 00:41:59.119
<v Speaker 2>him his look like he already knows I'm doing it,

779
00:41:59.199 --> 00:42:01.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, so he's not giving me permission.

780
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:02.320
<v Speaker 3>He just like whatever.

781
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:05.679
<v Speaker 2>And so I turned down this road and I see

782
00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:08.400
<v Speaker 2>three break I see stuff. This area is, like I've said,

783
00:42:08.519 --> 00:42:12.760
<v Speaker 2>just inundated with sasquatch stuff. Like it's it's just mind

784
00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:18.480
<v Speaker 2>blowing that this area Isn't it just like completely taped

785
00:42:18.519 --> 00:42:22.000
<v Speaker 2>off and have scientists all over it, like it's it's

786
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:27.840
<v Speaker 2>so abundant with sasquatch evidence. And uh. I turn down

787
00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:29.840
<v Speaker 2>this little side road and I get out, and I

788
00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:32.000
<v Speaker 2>and my son gets out and he follows me, and

789
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:35.199
<v Speaker 2>we're walking down to this tree line and I pull

790
00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:39.719
<v Speaker 2>out my phone and I start filming, and right then

791
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:44.400
<v Speaker 2>there's a sound and a sasquatch type noise.

792
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:45.320
<v Speaker 1>You know.

793
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:48.639
<v Speaker 2>That's somebody would probably say, oh, that's just an owl,

794
00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:52.239
<v Speaker 2>but owls don't typically make noise in the middle of

795
00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:52.719
<v Speaker 2>the day.

796
00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:55.599
<v Speaker 3>This is like three o'clock in.

797
00:42:55.559 --> 00:42:59.440
<v Speaker 2>The afternoon, you know, and I just right when I

798
00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:03.400
<v Speaker 2>turn on the there's a noise coming down from the trees,

799
00:43:03.800 --> 00:43:07.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, a weird whoop type hoop noise, and then

800
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:10.440
<v Speaker 2>another one responds off to the left, you know, And

801
00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:14.360
<v Speaker 2>it was awesome because I just turned on Actually haven't

802
00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:17.960
<v Speaker 2>reviewed the footage, but that was just kind of cool.

803
00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:20.719
<v Speaker 3>Like on our way out, something happened, you know.

804
00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:25.000
<v Speaker 2>That obviously could be debated whether it's sasquatch or not.

805
00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:26.840
<v Speaker 3>But I like to think it was.

806
00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:30.519
<v Speaker 2>I like to think those creatures are actually watching me

807
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:34.000
<v Speaker 2>and messing with me quite a bit, to be honest

808
00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:38.559
<v Speaker 2>with you. So that was just the super recent, most

809
00:43:38.639 --> 00:43:40.039
<v Speaker 2>recent little thing that happened.

810
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:44.199
<v Speaker 3>But the very first time you're out.

811
00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:46.760
<v Speaker 2>How to get into this valley, the valley where I

812
00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:52.079
<v Speaker 2>was looking when I had that views point, I used

813
00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:55.480
<v Speaker 2>an e bike and I parked way over in a

814
00:43:55.599 --> 00:43:58.760
<v Speaker 2>totally different area because I studied some maps and I

815
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:00.119
<v Speaker 2>saw that this might be.

816
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:02.639
<v Speaker 3>A potential way to get in there, and it was.

817
00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:05.639
<v Speaker 2>I had to go under a few gates and I

818
00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:08.639
<v Speaker 2>had to ride my bike a good eight miles or

819
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:09.400
<v Speaker 2>whatever it was.

820
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:16.000
<v Speaker 3>But it's an e bike, says not. And I have cameras.

821
00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Set up on my handlebar, and I have cameras on

822
00:44:18.559 --> 00:44:21.880
<v Speaker 2>like my helmet and cameras all over the place, and

823
00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:26.079
<v Speaker 2>so I forget what camera for sure captured this what happened,

824
00:44:26.119 --> 00:44:28.760
<v Speaker 2>but it might be on two cameras actually.

825
00:44:28.960 --> 00:44:32.840
<v Speaker 3>So I'm getting into the valley and I'm super super

826
00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:33.760
<v Speaker 3>excited because.

827
00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:35.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, Okay, I'm actually in the valley. I don't

828
00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:40.360
<v Speaker 2>know exactly where. I hadn't triangulated, you know, precisely where

829
00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:42.719
<v Speaker 2>I was, but I knew I was in the valley,

830
00:44:43.320 --> 00:44:46.519
<v Speaker 2>and I'm coming down this road and I'm just getting

831
00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:49.679
<v Speaker 2>this really like like I'm excited, but I'm also kind

832
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:52.039
<v Speaker 2>of like nervous at the same time, and I'm like

833
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:57.119
<v Speaker 2>really starting to feel like I'm invading onto somebody's private

834
00:44:57.159 --> 00:45:01.039
<v Speaker 2>property or something. And so I'm going flow and I'm

835
00:45:01.920 --> 00:45:05.199
<v Speaker 2>just uneasy. I feel like eyeballs are on me, and

836
00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:08.039
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, boom, it's like I just ran

837
00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:11.119
<v Speaker 2>into a brick wall on my bike. I'm on the ground,

838
00:45:11.880 --> 00:45:16.639
<v Speaker 2>laying there like what just happened? Like it made no sense.

839
00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:20.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, I wasn't going very fast, so I wasn't

840
00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:23.280
<v Speaker 2>liking too much pain. I mean, my leg was bleeding

841
00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:27.039
<v Speaker 2>from the gravel. But it was just so crazy.

842
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Big for society. Who will be right back after these messages?

843
00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:49.840
<v Speaker 2>And I do have the footage of that which shoes

844
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:54.119
<v Speaker 2>me just gradually, calmly riding a bike and all of

845
00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:55.360
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, boom, I wreck.

846
00:45:55.800 --> 00:46:00.719
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it made no sense. And uh at this point,

847
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:02.159
<v Speaker 3>you know, I wasn't.

848
00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Aware of how much stuff is out there that talk

849
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:09.239
<v Speaker 2>about how they can cloak and make themselves invisible.

850
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:11.039
<v Speaker 3>I really don't know. I don't know what to make

851
00:46:11.079 --> 00:46:13.079
<v Speaker 3>of it. It was just really weird.

852
00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:13.719
<v Speaker 2>And then.

853
00:46:16.119 --> 00:46:17.800
<v Speaker 3>I get up get on my bike.

854
00:46:18.079 --> 00:46:21.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm confused over what just happened, Like how

855
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:23.639
<v Speaker 2>did I just wreck? You know?

856
00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:28.039
<v Speaker 3>But I couldn't make any sense of it. But bikes crash,

857
00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:30.519
<v Speaker 3>you know, who knows? And so I get on my

858
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:32.360
<v Speaker 3>bike and I'm riding up and I get up into

859
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:33.119
<v Speaker 3>an area and I.

860
00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Do some investigating up in this area, and I what

861
00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:42.559
<v Speaker 2>I believe is the lookout point. Are you familiar with

862
00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:44.159
<v Speaker 2>like God standings work at all?

863
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:46.639
<v Speaker 3>Yes? Okay?

864
00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:49.280
<v Speaker 2>So are you familiar with the term he uses of

865
00:46:49.360 --> 00:46:53.280
<v Speaker 2>a day watcher? Yeah? I am, yep, Okay, So I'm

866
00:46:53.360 --> 00:46:57.079
<v Speaker 2>pretty sure I find a day watcher.

867
00:46:57.039 --> 00:47:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Spot, sorry, can you define it? Are people that might

868
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:01.719
<v Speaker 1>not be though.

869
00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:05.960
<v Speaker 2>God Standing talks about what he's discovered a lot is

870
00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:09.039
<v Speaker 2>what he calls gay watchers, and those are sort of

871
00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:13.440
<v Speaker 2>like a lookout point for the tribe of Sasquatches that

872
00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:18.039
<v Speaker 2>finds a good, I don't know, viewpoint, good vantage point,

873
00:47:18.119 --> 00:47:21.960
<v Speaker 2>and they it's watched all day long for threats or

874
00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:25.800
<v Speaker 2>people or predators that might be moving in.

875
00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:25.920
<v Speaker 3>To their area.

876
00:47:26.920 --> 00:47:31.760
<v Speaker 2>And uh this, So after I got into the valley

877
00:47:32.599 --> 00:47:35.599
<v Speaker 2>and I parked my bike, I put my kickstand up

878
00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:37.559
<v Speaker 2>and I parked my bike, and I left the camera

879
00:47:37.639 --> 00:47:40.320
<v Speaker 2>rolling the whole time while I was gone, just to

880
00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:43.599
<v Speaker 2>film whatever might come sneaking up the road behind me

881
00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:47.599
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. And I climb up, and I'm I'm always

882
00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:49.800
<v Speaker 2>doing a lot of climbing. I go deep, deep into

883
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:54.280
<v Speaker 2>the woods, and I'm I climb through stuff that hunters

884
00:47:54.320 --> 00:47:58.079
<v Speaker 2>don't go through, you know, the pretty miserable brush and

885
00:47:58.280 --> 00:48:02.800
<v Speaker 2>some really steep, nasty crap is basically what I'm always in.

886
00:48:04.039 --> 00:48:05.960
<v Speaker 2>But I get up to this little viewpoint and I

887
00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:10.519
<v Speaker 2>could see where I mean, spot after spot had been

888
00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:13.559
<v Speaker 2>betted down and betted down, and betted down and betted.

889
00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:19.760
<v Speaker 3>Like all over that place, and there were specs, you know.

890
00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:26.599
<v Speaker 2>Big old, big old herds, and this type of dum

891
00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:31.639
<v Speaker 2>didn't match the bear dung because I'd been finding lots

892
00:48:31.639 --> 00:48:33.719
<v Speaker 2>and lots of bear dung in the.

893
00:48:33.960 --> 00:48:35.039
<v Speaker 3>All over that area.

894
00:48:35.079 --> 00:48:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Everywhere I go up in there that time of year,

895
00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:40.280
<v Speaker 2>you're finding mounds and mounds of bears all.

896
00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:40.800
<v Speaker 3>Over the area.

897
00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:46.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm very familiarized with bear dung, and it's super easy

898
00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:50.760
<v Speaker 2>to spot that time of year because it's just it

899
00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:51.679
<v Speaker 2>looks like berries.

900
00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:53.880
<v Speaker 3>All you see is berry seeds and the bear dum.

901
00:48:54.800 --> 00:48:58.440
<v Speaker 2>And for some reason, this dung up on this weird

902
00:48:58.519 --> 00:49:02.199
<v Speaker 2>lookout place where all the these grass beds.

903
00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:02.920
<v Speaker 3>Have been made from.

904
00:49:03.159 --> 00:49:04.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know if people are familiar with

905
00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:09.199
<v Speaker 2>how animals will bed down and make you know, like

906
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:12.079
<v Speaker 2>beds in the grass, and then you can spot them

907
00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:15.199
<v Speaker 2>all the time where an animal has slept or just

908
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:17.840
<v Speaker 2>relaxed for hours upon hours.

909
00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:23.920
<v Speaker 3>And this weird little shelf, this slope that it wasn't

910
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:26.199
<v Speaker 3>like at the very top of the mountain, but it

911
00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:28.639
<v Speaker 3>was a really good vantage.

912
00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Point in that valley that you could look down and

913
00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:34.079
<v Speaker 2>you could see in every direction, and you know, just

914
00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:37.360
<v Speaker 2>a really good lookout point and it had you know,

915
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:40.840
<v Speaker 2>eight nine, ten different spots where something had laid in

916
00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:42.199
<v Speaker 2>the grass and bedded it down.

917
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:46.159
<v Speaker 3>And this dung that was all over the hillside just

918
00:49:46.599 --> 00:49:48.000
<v Speaker 3>was so weird to me.

919
00:49:48.159 --> 00:49:53.679
<v Speaker 2>It was almost like a cross between like big dog

920
00:49:54.119 --> 00:49:59.719
<v Speaker 2>birds and human turds, Like, I mean, it wasn't anything

921
00:49:59.800 --> 00:50:05.039
<v Speaker 2>like that there. And I've since found this same done elsewhere,

922
00:50:06.239 --> 00:50:09.920
<v Speaker 2>and so I mean, I don't know. I'm not a scientist,

923
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:13.960
<v Speaker 2>but I believe that it is sasquatch done and so

924
00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:18.199
<v Speaker 2>I look for that when I'm out and about and

925
00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:22.719
<v Speaker 2>so okay, so I find this lookout going in and

926
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:25.159
<v Speaker 2>then I go back to my bike. Well by the

927
00:50:25.199 --> 00:50:27.320
<v Speaker 2>time I get back to my bike, it had been

928
00:50:27.360 --> 00:50:32.159
<v Speaker 2>knocked over. It had fallen over. And I've reviewed the

929
00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:35.000
<v Speaker 2>footage and it did just fall over.

930
00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:37.559
<v Speaker 3>You know which bikes do you know? They do just

931
00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:38.159
<v Speaker 3>fall over.

932
00:50:38.280 --> 00:50:42.239
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know if that was necessarily I crashed

933
00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:45.559
<v Speaker 2>into a cloak sasquatch or not.

934
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:50.119
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if cloak sasquats came over and pushed

935
00:50:50.159 --> 00:50:52.320
<v Speaker 3>my bike over, but it was weird.

936
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:56.840
<v Speaker 2>And then as I'm picking up my bike, and I

937
00:50:57.159 --> 00:50:58.880
<v Speaker 2>wasn't doing any overnight or anything.

938
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:00.320
<v Speaker 3>This was all a one day thing.

939
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:02.440
<v Speaker 2>I had to get back to my truck, so I

940
00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:05.760
<v Speaker 2>was pressed for time, and I noticed that I was

941
00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:09.239
<v Speaker 2>missing a bottle of power aid that should have been

942
00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:11.400
<v Speaker 2>in this little pack on the back of my bike,

943
00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:13.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, And I'm.

944
00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:15.159
<v Speaker 3>Like, well, that's weird. Where'd that go?

945
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:18.039
<v Speaker 2>You know, Like, Okay, it fell out when I crashed.

946
00:51:18.119 --> 00:51:20.599
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going back that way, so I'll pick it

947
00:51:20.679 --> 00:51:23.840
<v Speaker 2>up on the way out. And so I cruised through

948
00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:26.480
<v Speaker 2>and I can't find that power ade anywhere, just gone.

949
00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:30.599
<v Speaker 2>And bear in mind, like there's nobody driving around on

950
00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:33.960
<v Speaker 2>these roads at this time period. These are all gated off.

951
00:51:34.199 --> 00:51:37.280
<v Speaker 2>You can't get out there without a key, and nobody

952
00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:40.400
<v Speaker 2>was up working doing any logging. Nobody was driving in

953
00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:44.519
<v Speaker 2>this area, and so the power aid was nowhere to

954
00:51:44.519 --> 00:51:46.960
<v Speaker 2>be found, which is really weird because any piece of

955
00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:50.079
<v Speaker 2>garbage on that gravel road would have stood out, you know,

956
00:51:50.199 --> 00:51:51.079
<v Speaker 2>like a sort thumb.

957
00:51:52.280 --> 00:51:56.119
<v Speaker 3>And then I drive down back. I'm heading back to

958
00:51:56.239 --> 00:51:56.800
<v Speaker 3>my truck.

959
00:51:56.840 --> 00:51:58.599
<v Speaker 2>But there was a bunch of places I planned on

960
00:51:58.679 --> 00:52:01.960
<v Speaker 2>stopping at on the way out and investigating, and so

961
00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:04.920
<v Speaker 2>I pull into one of them and I go down

962
00:52:04.920 --> 00:52:09.119
<v Speaker 2>this trail and I find this beautiful women hole just

963
00:52:09.119 --> 00:52:17.199
<v Speaker 2>this really amazing, amazing campsite, and uh, like Sasquati say,

964
00:52:18.239 --> 00:52:22.559
<v Speaker 2>just a beautiful spot, and uh, I probe around, do

965
00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:25.840
<v Speaker 2>what I can, And I actually found a big old agate.

966
00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:29.559
<v Speaker 2>That was actually the first time I believe that was

967
00:52:29.599 --> 00:52:33.440
<v Speaker 2>the first time I found one of those agates, giant

968
00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:35.960
<v Speaker 2>agots back in there. That's where the whole aggt hunting

969
00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:38.679
<v Speaker 2>back in there kind of became a thing. And so

970
00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm going out to leave, and I get back to

971
00:52:41.440 --> 00:52:45.320
<v Speaker 2>my bike and I realized that my bear mash had gone,

972
00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:46.800
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, what the.

973
00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:50.159
<v Speaker 3>Like, how did my bear get? Where is it? You know?

974
00:52:50.280 --> 00:52:53.880
<v Speaker 2>And so I'm thinking, okay, somehow it came off this

975
00:52:53.920 --> 00:52:57.119
<v Speaker 2>thing and fill off. So I ride my bike back

976
00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:01.880
<v Speaker 2>all through the area where I cried. I read all

977
00:53:01.880 --> 00:53:05.280
<v Speaker 2>the way back up to where I'm below that what

978
00:53:05.400 --> 00:53:10.159
<v Speaker 2>I believe is a gay Watcher point and it's just nowhere.

979
00:53:10.199 --> 00:53:12.239
<v Speaker 2>I can't find the bear mats and I can't find

980
00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:12.840
<v Speaker 2>the power.

981
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:16.159
<v Speaker 3>You know. I still to this.

982
00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:18.519
<v Speaker 2>Day don't know where they went, you know, I mean,

983
00:53:18.559 --> 00:53:21.199
<v Speaker 2>it was really weird. I don't know what the Sasquatch

984
00:53:21.239 --> 00:53:23.119
<v Speaker 2>would do with my bear mace, but.

985
00:53:25.079 --> 00:53:25.519
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

986
00:53:26.119 --> 00:53:30.559
<v Speaker 2>And so I get out of there, no problems, nothing

987
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:35.280
<v Speaker 2>bad happens. And that was my first experience with entering

988
00:53:36.039 --> 00:53:39.280
<v Speaker 2>the valley. The valley, it's what I call Sasquatch Valley.

989
00:53:41.320 --> 00:53:44.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, it depends on who you talk to. You

990
00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:47.840
<v Speaker 2>There's some people say, oh, guaranteed that sasquatch. Someone else

991
00:53:47.880 --> 00:53:50.679
<v Speaker 2>is gonna say, oh, you know, it slipped off your

992
00:53:50.679 --> 00:53:52.920
<v Speaker 2>bike and fell into the ditch and you just didn't

993
00:53:52.920 --> 00:53:54.119
<v Speaker 2>find it in hun though I.

994
00:53:54.159 --> 00:53:57.360
<v Speaker 3>Can't prove either way, but it was really weird. I

995
00:53:57.400 --> 00:53:59.320
<v Speaker 3>will say that it's.

996
00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:02.639
<v Speaker 2>Very weird, especially how much time I spent looking for

997
00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:04.960
<v Speaker 2>these things to not find either of them.

998
00:54:05.199 --> 00:54:06.519
<v Speaker 3>You know, that's pretty weird.

999
00:54:08.760 --> 00:54:13.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's even possible that they fill off

1000
00:54:14.920 --> 00:54:18.159
<v Speaker 2>and landed in like the ditchline and wouldn't have been visible.

1001
00:54:18.519 --> 00:54:20.559
<v Speaker 3>I did just I would have spotted them.

1002
00:54:21.480 --> 00:54:24.880
<v Speaker 2>It's really weird, and I I do think they were

1003
00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:29.039
<v Speaker 2>picked up by by something. I mean, something with fingers

1004
00:54:29.039 --> 00:54:32.199
<v Speaker 2>and hands that can carry a bottle and carry a

1005
00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:32.880
<v Speaker 2>little canister.

1006
00:54:33.159 --> 00:54:34.679
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's just really weird.

1007
00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:38.800
<v Speaker 2>So the next time I come out into this research area,

1008
00:54:39.480 --> 00:54:42.440
<v Speaker 2>it's uh, I don't know. A couple of weeks later

1009
00:54:43.719 --> 00:54:48.159
<v Speaker 2>and I go back to that beautiful camp site that

1010
00:54:48.280 --> 00:54:53.599
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned earlier, and I go hiking across the river

1011
00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:57.039
<v Speaker 2>and I take this little creek, not little, it's a good.

1012
00:54:56.960 --> 00:54:59.400
<v Speaker 3>Sized creek, I guess small river.

1013
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:05.079
<v Speaker 2>And I start chomping up this river and I'm walking

1014
00:55:05.159 --> 00:55:09.760
<v Speaker 2>right in the middle of the river. Pretty nervous going

1015
00:55:09.760 --> 00:55:12.159
<v Speaker 2>into this area. I know there's a lot of bear

1016
00:55:12.280 --> 00:55:15.400
<v Speaker 2>up there, and so I decided to walk in the

1017
00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:17.039
<v Speaker 2>middle of the river because I've spent a lot of

1018
00:55:17.079 --> 00:55:21.519
<v Speaker 2>time walking in rivers. It's kind of a scale that

1019
00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:24.000
<v Speaker 2>some people have and don't have, Like I'm just really

1020
00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:28.239
<v Speaker 2>good walking over slippery rocks and walking through rivers, and

1021
00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:31.960
<v Speaker 2>so I'm totally comfortable just walking right through the rapids.

1022
00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:35.199
<v Speaker 3>I just have some rivers us on and jump right

1023
00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:36.199
<v Speaker 3>up the middle of the river.

1024
00:55:36.960 --> 00:55:39.360
<v Speaker 2>That way, I feel if a bear or something where

1025
00:55:39.400 --> 00:55:43.719
<v Speaker 2>to rush me, I'm gonna see it, rather than if

1026
00:55:43.760 --> 00:55:46.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm walking on the shoreline of the river, where I'm

1027
00:55:46.599 --> 00:55:49.480
<v Speaker 2>right in the brush, where a bear could easily just

1028
00:55:49.599 --> 00:55:52.480
<v Speaker 2>lunge out of the bushes and I wouldn't have much warning.

1029
00:55:52.920 --> 00:55:55.440
<v Speaker 2>So by walking in the middle of the river, it

1030
00:55:55.559 --> 00:55:58.039
<v Speaker 2>just gives me a little bit more warning of predators

1031
00:55:58.119 --> 00:56:01.280
<v Speaker 2>or anything kind of coming at me, but you do

1032
00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:07.400
<v Speaker 2>sacrifice any skeelthiness. It's hard to be really quiet. You know,

1033
00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:09.960
<v Speaker 2>it's chomping up the middle of a river. But it's

1034
00:56:09.960 --> 00:56:12.440
<v Speaker 2>hard to be quiet period. No matter what you're doing

1035
00:56:12.440 --> 00:56:15.000
<v Speaker 2>in the woods, you're always making noise. It's so hard

1036
00:56:15.039 --> 00:56:19.079
<v Speaker 2>to be quiet in the Pacific Northwest woods. So I'm

1037
00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:22.400
<v Speaker 2>working my way up this river and I'm finding it's

1038
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:26.920
<v Speaker 2>mind blowing aggots all along the way. And then I

1039
00:56:26.920 --> 00:56:29.639
<v Speaker 2>don't know, I'm probably about an hour into walking up

1040
00:56:29.639 --> 00:56:35.480
<v Speaker 2>this river, and I see off to the left an

1041
00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:40.320
<v Speaker 2>upside down tree root, you know, way up.

1042
00:56:40.239 --> 00:56:40.719
<v Speaker 3>In the air.

1043
00:56:40.960 --> 00:56:44.360
<v Speaker 2>And this is a big old log that's probably fifteen

1044
00:56:44.440 --> 00:56:47.679
<v Speaker 2>inches wide, easily fifteen inches.

1045
00:56:47.400 --> 00:56:49.920
<v Speaker 3>Wide, and you know, the root ball up in the air.

1046
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:55.519
<v Speaker 2>And I was just dumbfounded, you know, like, Okay, I

1047
00:56:55.559 --> 00:56:59.760
<v Speaker 2>came out here hoping to find a sasquatch tree break

1048
00:56:59.880 --> 00:57:04.480
<v Speaker 2>or you know, find something, and find an upside down tree.

1049
00:57:04.800 --> 00:57:07.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, it just blew my mind, you know. And

1050
00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:09.920
<v Speaker 2>then I'm staring at it from the river and I

1051
00:57:10.320 --> 00:57:12.639
<v Speaker 2>know exactly what it is, and I'm filming it from

1052
00:57:12.679 --> 00:57:15.559
<v Speaker 2>the river, and so I go over there. I climb

1053
00:57:15.679 --> 00:57:18.079
<v Speaker 2>up this little embankment and I get up into this

1054
00:57:18.360 --> 00:57:21.440
<v Speaker 2>field and there's a bunch of them.

1055
00:57:21.679 --> 00:57:23.719
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'm filming, and but a lot of.

1056
00:57:23.639 --> 00:57:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Them didn't have roots on them, and a lot of

1057
00:57:25.920 --> 00:57:29.480
<v Speaker 2>them actually had been cut by chainsaws, which you know,

1058
00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:32.639
<v Speaker 2>it's it's to be expected up there, because it's you're talking,

1059
00:57:33.480 --> 00:57:35.960
<v Speaker 2>this whole area has just been logged over and over

1060
00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:36.639
<v Speaker 2>and over again.

1061
00:57:37.280 --> 00:57:39.079
<v Speaker 3>And so I mean, if it's Sathquad it's.

1062
00:57:38.960 --> 00:57:42.599
<v Speaker 2>Walking around picking up logs, more than likely they're going

1063
00:57:42.639 --> 00:57:45.519
<v Speaker 2>to pick one up that has been cut by a

1064
00:57:45.599 --> 00:57:48.639
<v Speaker 2>chainsaw at some point. And so some of these are

1065
00:57:48.679 --> 00:57:53.159
<v Speaker 2>actually pretty tall. I mean, some of these trees sticking

1066
00:57:53.199 --> 00:57:55.880
<v Speaker 2>out of the ground are logs sticking out of the

1067
00:57:55.880 --> 00:57:58.880
<v Speaker 2>ground were I don't know, thirty feet.

1068
00:57:58.639 --> 00:57:59.239
<v Speaker 3>Up in the air.

1069
00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Some of them have roots, some of them don't. You know,

1070
00:58:03.400 --> 00:58:07.440
<v Speaker 2>some of them are only eight foot in the air.

1071
00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:08.679
<v Speaker 3>You know, some of.

1072
00:58:08.679 --> 00:58:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Them all different sizes, and some of them aren't sticking

1073
00:58:11.880 --> 00:58:14.920
<v Speaker 2>perfectly straight up. Some of them are kind of angled,

1074
00:58:15.119 --> 00:58:21.360
<v Speaker 2>sticking out different ways. But you know, it was just amazing,

1075
00:58:21.480 --> 00:58:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Like I never thought that I'd be able to go

1076
00:58:24.039 --> 00:58:26.920
<v Speaker 2>back and show some of the naysayers in my life,

1077
00:58:27.320 --> 00:58:31.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, pictures of upside down trees. And so as

1078
00:58:31.239 --> 00:58:34.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm walking through this field and I'm filming all this

1079
00:58:34.840 --> 00:58:39.239
<v Speaker 2>is being filmed, I find this area in the grass

1080
00:58:39.239 --> 00:58:43.079
<v Speaker 2>where something had been bedded down and it seemed recent,

1081
00:58:43.320 --> 00:58:45.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, like it seemed like something could have possibly

1082
00:58:45.960 --> 00:58:49.119
<v Speaker 2>been actually laying there as I came into the field.

1083
00:58:49.159 --> 00:58:51.800
<v Speaker 3>So it made me kind of uneasy.

1084
00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:55.000
<v Speaker 2>And then I'm walking through the field and I'm you know,

1085
00:58:55.159 --> 00:58:59.840
<v Speaker 2>narrating as I'm filing trees, and I walk right in

1086
00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:04.639
<v Speaker 2>to a pile of elk bones. There was an elk skull,

1087
00:59:05.119 --> 00:59:09.320
<v Speaker 2>and you know, elk bones. It could be dear, but

1088
00:59:09.360 --> 00:59:11.880
<v Speaker 2>it just seemed like a bigger skull. If it was

1089
00:59:11.920 --> 00:59:14.320
<v Speaker 2>a deer, it was a pretty good sized deer, but

1090
00:59:14.440 --> 00:59:17.639
<v Speaker 2>there wasn't any antlers, so it was probably you know,

1091
00:59:17.679 --> 00:59:22.199
<v Speaker 2>a female deer or elk. But I do believe it

1092
00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:24.400
<v Speaker 2>was an elk by the size of it. And so

1093
00:59:24.519 --> 00:59:27.079
<v Speaker 2>that was kind of scary, you know, kind of you know,

1094
00:59:28.320 --> 00:59:29.880
<v Speaker 2>so I didn't spend a lot of time there. I

1095
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:33.400
<v Speaker 2>made the videos. I saw what I saw, and I

1096
00:59:33.440 --> 00:59:36.880
<v Speaker 2>got out of there and went back to the river.

1097
00:59:37.000 --> 00:59:39.880
<v Speaker 2>I just, I don't know, I felt more safe walking

1098
00:59:39.960 --> 00:59:42.960
<v Speaker 2>up the river than being off in the bush in

1099
00:59:43.000 --> 00:59:44.280
<v Speaker 2>that weird little field.

1100
00:59:45.480 --> 00:59:47.920
<v Speaker 3>And so I went up and down the river.

1101
00:59:47.800 --> 00:59:51.079
<v Speaker 2>That day and got a big old backpack of rocks

1102
00:59:51.119 --> 00:59:51.800
<v Speaker 2>out of there.

1103
00:59:52.280 --> 00:59:55.119
<v Speaker 1>Big for society. Who would be right back after these messages.

1104
01:00:11.079 --> 01:00:17.199
<v Speaker 2>And I've been back to that river many times then, oh,

1105
01:00:17.400 --> 01:00:20.159
<v Speaker 2>a couple of weeks ago, a couple of months ago.

1106
01:00:20.239 --> 01:00:25.039
<v Speaker 2>Now I went back to that same river, and I'm

1107
01:00:25.079 --> 01:00:28.239
<v Speaker 2>pretty sure I was by myself on this trip.

1108
01:00:28.280 --> 01:00:31.239
<v Speaker 3>I'm usually by myself, but I've brought people out. Yeah, no,

1109
01:00:31.320 --> 01:00:33.000
<v Speaker 3>I was. I was by myself for sure.

1110
01:00:33.920 --> 01:00:38.239
<v Speaker 2>And I was hiking up the river, you know, retracing

1111
01:00:38.320 --> 01:00:42.239
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the same footsteps of I've already been across,

1112
01:00:42.800 --> 01:00:46.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of rock hunting, kind of sasquatch hunting, just just

1113
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:50.360
<v Speaker 2>trying to be proactive in this weird endeavor that i've

1114
01:00:51.639 --> 01:00:56.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, taken up. And I passed my area where

1115
01:00:56.360 --> 01:00:59.719
<v Speaker 2>the upside down trees are, and I was planning on

1116
01:01:00.679 --> 01:01:02.719
<v Speaker 2>come because I go up the river then I walk

1117
01:01:02.800 --> 01:01:05.639
<v Speaker 2>back down the river, so I see everything twice the

1118
01:01:05.639 --> 01:01:07.719
<v Speaker 2>way I do this. Now, I was gonna stop at

1119
01:01:07.760 --> 01:01:11.639
<v Speaker 2>the upside on trees and video them on the way back,

1120
01:01:11.719 --> 01:01:14.760
<v Speaker 2>so I just skipped right past them, and then I

1121
01:01:14.800 --> 01:01:17.880
<v Speaker 2>get to this area where there's the beginning phases of

1122
01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:21.880
<v Speaker 2>a beaver dam being built, you know, and I thought, well,

1123
01:01:21.880 --> 01:01:23.880
<v Speaker 2>how cool is this. I could actually get some game

1124
01:01:23.920 --> 01:01:28.119
<v Speaker 2>camera set up here and actually get you know, piece

1125
01:01:28.199 --> 01:01:30.960
<v Speaker 2>by piece by pieces, because beaver dams get huge.

1126
01:01:31.079 --> 01:01:34.840
<v Speaker 3>I found beaver dams in the woods that were you know.

1127
01:01:34.960 --> 01:01:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Eight feet tall, you know, huge, huge, damn Sometimes they

1128
01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:40.159
<v Speaker 2>don't always get that big.

1129
01:01:40.159 --> 01:01:43.880
<v Speaker 3>But I was looking at the topography, you know.

1130
01:01:43.880 --> 01:01:46.079
<v Speaker 2>The way the river and the way the valleys shaped,

1131
01:01:46.119 --> 01:01:50.320
<v Speaker 2>and this beaver dam could potentially become one of those monsters.

1132
01:01:51.239 --> 01:01:53.079
<v Speaker 3>And so I thought, well, that'd be really cool.

1133
01:01:53.079 --> 01:01:56.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to get some game camera set up and.

1134
01:01:55.599 --> 01:01:57.719
<v Speaker 3>Get a record of how they build these things, and

1135
01:01:58.079 --> 01:01:59.559
<v Speaker 3>you know, make a video about it.

1136
01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Because everything I'm doing is supposed to become tough for

1137
01:02:04.440 --> 01:02:07.840
<v Speaker 2>my channel that doesn't exist that I hope to get

1138
01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:12.119
<v Speaker 2>built someday. And so I continue upstream and I'm seeing

1139
01:02:12.400 --> 01:02:15.519
<v Speaker 2>all these areas that used to be just covered with

1140
01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:18.559
<v Speaker 2>foliage in the beaver has eaten all the trees, chewed

1141
01:02:18.559 --> 01:02:21.360
<v Speaker 2>them all down, removed them, and he's building the dam

1142
01:02:21.440 --> 01:02:24.920
<v Speaker 2>with them. And then all of a sudden, off to

1143
01:02:24.960 --> 01:02:29.639
<v Speaker 2>my left again more upside down trees. Because I'd walked

1144
01:02:29.719 --> 01:02:32.400
<v Speaker 2>right past these things several times. You couldn't see them

1145
01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:36.559
<v Speaker 2>because they were all blocked by the green foliage off

1146
01:02:36.559 --> 01:02:37.119
<v Speaker 2>the shoreline.

1147
01:02:37.159 --> 01:02:38.639
<v Speaker 3>The beaver had cleared it all away.

1148
01:02:39.280 --> 01:02:43.079
<v Speaker 2>And so here's another sight of upside down trees, you know,

1149
01:02:43.159 --> 01:02:47.199
<v Speaker 2>and it's just it's it was awesome. But these these

1150
01:02:47.280 --> 01:02:52.559
<v Speaker 2>ones actually were smaller. There wasn't any like big, big,

1151
01:02:52.679 --> 01:02:56.960
<v Speaker 2>huge ones. But I mean they're still pretty impressive there.

1152
01:02:57.159 --> 01:03:01.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, fifteen feet in the air, I would say, uh,

1153
01:03:04.039 --> 01:03:06.239
<v Speaker 2>eight to ten inch logs.

1154
01:03:06.320 --> 01:03:09.599
<v Speaker 3>With roots on it, you know, stabbed into this ground.

1155
01:03:09.639 --> 01:03:13.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, to dig in this dirt would be so

1156
01:03:13.239 --> 01:03:17.760
<v Speaker 2>hard because it's it's just river rock, like compressed river

1157
01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:22.000
<v Speaker 2>rock is all it is. It's so digging or you know,

1158
01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:26.599
<v Speaker 2>stabbing a log into that that ground. I mean, it

1159
01:03:26.719 --> 01:03:30.199
<v Speaker 2>just doesn't even seem possible, even like because.

1160
01:03:29.960 --> 01:03:32.519
<v Speaker 3>I have post hole diggers for the work I do.

1161
01:03:32.760 --> 01:03:35.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, when people hire me to build a fence

1162
01:03:36.119 --> 01:03:39.519
<v Speaker 2>or something like that, you break out a posthole digger,

1163
01:03:40.199 --> 01:03:44.320
<v Speaker 2>and if there's rocks, it's so hard to dig into.

1164
01:03:44.440 --> 01:03:46.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, your your bit just bounces off of them,

1165
01:03:46.880 --> 01:03:50.719
<v Speaker 2>and it just it's a nightmare. Your wrists just get

1166
01:03:51.320 --> 01:03:53.559
<v Speaker 2>hammered trying to control it. You know.

1167
01:03:54.079 --> 01:03:55.840
<v Speaker 3>Postal diggers are a nightmare. Period.

1168
01:03:55.920 --> 01:03:59.199
<v Speaker 2>I've always hated running postal diggers, but I just don't

1169
01:03:59.239 --> 01:04:03.719
<v Speaker 2>even understand how anything could do this, could drive these

1170
01:04:03.800 --> 01:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>logs into this river rock like they do. But I

1171
01:04:07.440 --> 01:04:10.920
<v Speaker 2>went over into this grassy area and there was some

1172
01:04:10.960 --> 01:04:12.960
<v Speaker 2>more upside down trees over there. I think there was

1173
01:04:13.039 --> 01:04:17.199
<v Speaker 2>like maybe five or six in this area. They all

1174
01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:21.360
<v Speaker 2>seemed a little bit older than the first the main

1175
01:04:21.480 --> 01:04:25.079
<v Speaker 2>upside down tree area. In fact, there was one that

1176
01:04:25.159 --> 01:04:28.039
<v Speaker 2>I went up to and it was old and it

1177
01:04:28.159 --> 01:04:29.800
<v Speaker 2>was a small upside down tree.

1178
01:04:29.800 --> 01:04:32.719
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it was like maybe up to my chest,

1179
01:04:33.079 --> 01:04:35.880
<v Speaker 3>but it was a rootball up to my chest.

1180
01:04:36.119 --> 01:04:39.239
<v Speaker 2>And it wasn't a big fat log or anything, you know,

1181
01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:43.639
<v Speaker 2>it was five inches or whatever. And I went up

1182
01:04:43.679 --> 01:04:46.320
<v Speaker 2>and just barely kind of touched this thing, and it

1183
01:04:46.400 --> 01:04:48.840
<v Speaker 2>broke and fell over, and it was just.

1184
01:04:48.920 --> 01:04:50.519
<v Speaker 3>Old, old decayds.

1185
01:04:50.679 --> 01:04:54.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean that one possibly's been there for twenty years.

1186
01:04:54.800 --> 01:04:57.119
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, I have no clue, but old.

1187
01:04:57.559 --> 01:04:59.599
<v Speaker 2>And then I got down on my knees and dug

1188
01:04:59.639 --> 01:05:04.679
<v Speaker 2>in and looked at the like where the log is

1189
01:05:04.760 --> 01:05:08.840
<v Speaker 2>actually in the earth, and it was all very old.

1190
01:05:08.960 --> 01:05:13.519
<v Speaker 2>You could see dry rot had set in, and.

1191
01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:13.000
<v Speaker 3>It'd been there.

1192
01:05:13.039 --> 01:05:14.880
<v Speaker 2>They've been there a long time, some of them look

1193
01:05:15.039 --> 01:05:18.559
<v Speaker 2>obviously they've been there longer than others. But what I think,

1194
01:05:19.519 --> 01:05:23.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, and totally just speculate on this, I think

1195
01:05:23.119 --> 01:05:26.000
<v Speaker 2>that they they have some kind of meaning, like maybe

1196
01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:30.519
<v Speaker 2>every now and then the new I don't know, alpha

1197
01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:36.000
<v Speaker 2>that's in charge, or something goes down there and drives

1198
01:05:36.079 --> 01:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>something into the ground to signify.

1199
01:05:39.119 --> 01:05:42.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know they have meaning. I don't know for sure.

1200
01:05:43.199 --> 01:05:46.880
<v Speaker 2>It can't just be I'm bored, so I'm gonna just

1201
01:05:47.679 --> 01:05:50.639
<v Speaker 2>pick a log in the ground like that doesn't.

1202
01:05:50.480 --> 01:05:51.320
<v Speaker 3>Really make sense.

1203
01:05:51.360 --> 01:05:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I do think there's there's some kind of message that

1204
01:05:55.519 --> 01:05:57.480
<v Speaker 2>has to do with why they do this.

1205
01:05:58.400 --> 01:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I would agree definitely, yeah, that it has to be.

1206
01:06:01.519 --> 01:06:05.199
<v Speaker 1>It's not just you know whatever. But man, you have

1207
01:06:05.360 --> 01:06:08.760
<v Speaker 1>got some wild, wild stuff going on in your area.

1208
01:06:08.920 --> 01:06:11.559
<v Speaker 1>It is just crazy.

1209
01:06:11.679 --> 01:06:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Hugh, Yeah, man, it's it's been pretty exciting. I mean

1210
01:06:16.840 --> 01:06:24.679
<v Speaker 2>it's and what's crazy is this actual sasquatch investigation. It

1211
01:06:24.719 --> 01:06:27.760
<v Speaker 2>was a day before Father's Day that I had my sighting.

1212
01:06:28.920 --> 01:06:32.079
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not a math expert. How many months ago

1213
01:06:32.119 --> 01:06:34.599
<v Speaker 2>had that been. Do you know of the top of

1214
01:06:34.599 --> 01:06:36.199
<v Speaker 2>your head, I can't even think what the.

1215
01:06:36.639 --> 01:06:40.679
<v Speaker 1>Fathers Day June. Let's see, I think it was June

1216
01:06:44.559 --> 01:06:47.119
<v Speaker 1>June sixteenth, So yeah, that's not long dude.

1217
01:06:47.880 --> 01:06:50.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, wow, that was this Father's Day is when I

1218
01:06:50.880 --> 01:06:52.960
<v Speaker 3>had it was a day before. It was a Saturday.

1219
01:06:53.760 --> 01:06:56.119
<v Speaker 2>And so, I mean, I haven't been out this very long,

1220
01:06:56.360 --> 01:06:59.920
<v Speaker 2>and and I look at what I've already compiled my

1221
01:07:00.119 --> 01:07:03.199
<v Speaker 2>evidence wise, and then I go and I watch people's

1222
01:07:03.280 --> 01:07:05.880
<v Speaker 2>janneals that have been around for years and years and years,

1223
01:07:05.880 --> 01:07:08.960
<v Speaker 2>and like, I mean, I'm not trying to to my

1224
01:07:09.000 --> 01:07:11.440
<v Speaker 2>own horn or whatever, but it's like, dude, in a

1225
01:07:11.480 --> 01:07:14.880
<v Speaker 2>few months, I've I've uncovered better evidence than what people

1226
01:07:14.960 --> 01:07:17.960
<v Speaker 2>have been finding, you know, many many.

1227
01:07:17.800 --> 01:07:23.440
<v Speaker 3>Years of doing the research, and its area like everywhere

1228
01:07:23.480 --> 01:07:27.480
<v Speaker 3>I go, everywhere I go, I find da squat stuff.

1229
01:07:28.400 --> 01:07:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Like about a month ago, I can't remember, I was

1230
01:07:32.079 --> 01:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>visiting my parents and talking about the stuff I do

1231
01:07:37.159 --> 01:07:40.719
<v Speaker 2>because my parents live in the area of where I researched.

1232
01:07:41.239 --> 01:07:43.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean there, I wouldn't say in the area, but

1233
01:07:43.840 --> 01:07:46.639
<v Speaker 2>it's it's not that far away, you know, from where

1234
01:07:46.679 --> 01:07:51.880
<v Speaker 2>they live. So when I had the sighting, when I

1235
01:07:51.960 --> 01:07:54.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, my very first sighting about the day before

1236
01:07:54.559 --> 01:07:58.599
<v Speaker 2>Father's Day, I went right to my parents' house after

1237
01:07:58.639 --> 01:08:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the sighting to have dinner. That's where my wife and

1238
01:08:01.039 --> 01:08:03.440
<v Speaker 2>kids were at, and that was what I was scheduled

1239
01:08:03.440 --> 01:08:07.519
<v Speaker 2>to do, and I'm telling them.

1240
01:08:07.599 --> 01:08:08.920
<v Speaker 3>You know, at first, I wasn't even going.

1241
01:08:08.920 --> 01:08:14.800
<v Speaker 2>To tell anybody, because I've had some weird stuff happening.

1242
01:08:15.039 --> 01:08:20.039
<v Speaker 2>I've had UFOs, I've had paranormal things happened to me

1243
01:08:20.119 --> 01:08:24.079
<v Speaker 2>throughout my life, and nobody believes you, you know, nobody

1244
01:08:24.119 --> 01:08:26.479
<v Speaker 2>believes you when you tell them about these things. And

1245
01:08:26.560 --> 01:08:28.920
<v Speaker 2>so I was really debating whether or not I was

1246
01:08:28.960 --> 01:08:31.920
<v Speaker 2>even going to tell them about the Sasquatch, you know.

1247
01:08:32.399 --> 01:08:35.039
<v Speaker 3>Didn't want to have people roll their eyes.

1248
01:08:35.119 --> 01:08:38.239
<v Speaker 2>And then I really hate it when people pretend to

1249
01:08:38.279 --> 01:08:42.279
<v Speaker 2>believe you just to talk about you behind your back,

1250
01:08:42.600 --> 01:08:44.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, like, oh.

1251
01:08:44.039 --> 01:08:45.000
<v Speaker 3>He's crazy, you know.

1252
01:08:45.279 --> 01:08:48.840
<v Speaker 2>And so the whole drive home, I was debating whether

1253
01:08:48.880 --> 01:08:50.119
<v Speaker 2>I was going to tell anybody or not.

1254
01:08:50.800 --> 01:08:52.520
<v Speaker 3>And then I get to my parents' house and.

1255
01:08:54.479 --> 01:08:57.760
<v Speaker 2>You know, my wife probably saw a weird look on

1256
01:08:57.840 --> 01:08:59.600
<v Speaker 2>my face or something, you know, and she's like, what's

1257
01:08:59.640 --> 01:09:03.159
<v Speaker 2>going on and washing my hands, and I'm all filthy

1258
01:09:03.199 --> 01:09:07.039
<v Speaker 2>dirty because I've been breaking rocks all day, and so

1259
01:09:07.079 --> 01:09:10.199
<v Speaker 2>I just tell it, like, and what's crazy about me

1260
01:09:10.279 --> 01:09:13.920
<v Speaker 2>seeing the sasquatches. The night before I was talking to

1261
01:09:13.960 --> 01:09:18.640
<v Speaker 2>my parents about some of the videos, you know, of

1262
01:09:19.039 --> 01:09:23.399
<v Speaker 2>the close ups that Todd's Standing provided from the faces

1263
01:09:23.439 --> 01:09:25.520
<v Speaker 2>of the sasquatches, because a lot of people don't know

1264
01:09:25.560 --> 01:09:27.800
<v Speaker 2>that those exist, whether you want to believe they're real

1265
01:09:27.920 --> 01:09:30.159
<v Speaker 2>or not. But a lot of people have never even

1266
01:09:30.239 --> 01:09:35.920
<v Speaker 2>seen Todd's videos. He's not really very well known when

1267
01:09:36.000 --> 01:09:40.239
<v Speaker 2>you compare his footage to like the Patterson Gimblet you know,

1268
01:09:40.640 --> 01:09:44.880
<v Speaker 2>like everybody's seen those Patterson Gimblet footage, but not a

1269
01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:46.119
<v Speaker 2>lot of people have seen.

1270
01:09:45.920 --> 01:09:47.680
<v Speaker 3>Todd Standing footage.

1271
01:09:48.039 --> 01:09:50.479
<v Speaker 2>And so it's just crazy because the night before I

1272
01:09:50.520 --> 01:09:53.279
<v Speaker 2>went up to do the rock hounting, I was talking

1273
01:09:53.319 --> 01:09:57.920
<v Speaker 2>about Todd's videos in about the sasquatch faces. And then

1274
01:09:58.000 --> 01:10:00.119
<v Speaker 2>I go up the next day and I'm rock hounting

1275
01:10:00.119 --> 01:10:02.319
<v Speaker 2>and I see a sasquat. So then when I come

1276
01:10:02.359 --> 01:10:05.520
<v Speaker 2>back home, you know, it was just really weird to

1277
01:10:05.560 --> 01:10:08.159
<v Speaker 2>be coming back and being like, yeah, I saw a

1278
01:10:08.239 --> 01:10:11.359
<v Speaker 2>sasquatch today, you know, after just the night before talking

1279
01:10:11.399 --> 01:10:11.680
<v Speaker 2>about it.

1280
01:10:12.199 --> 01:10:13.720
<v Speaker 3>The whole thing is just really weird.

1281
01:10:14.239 --> 01:10:18.479
<v Speaker 2>And so as I'm telling everybody about the Sasquatch that

1282
01:10:18.560 --> 01:10:22.760
<v Speaker 2>I saw my dad, who's never had anything paranormal happen

1283
01:10:22.840 --> 01:10:25.840
<v Speaker 2>to him in his life. He doesn't believe in anything.

1284
01:10:26.079 --> 01:10:29.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, everybody's lying, everybody's a fraud or whatever.

1285
01:10:29.359 --> 01:10:32.119
<v Speaker 3>And he goes, oh, yeah, come to think.

1286
01:10:31.960 --> 01:10:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Of it, Oh, a couple of years ago, I was

1287
01:10:35.119 --> 01:10:38.199
<v Speaker 2>up on such and such road up in the mountains,

1288
01:10:39.000 --> 01:10:42.479
<v Speaker 2>and I saw human footprints in the snow.

1289
01:10:43.960 --> 01:10:44.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, you know.

1290
01:10:44.600 --> 01:10:47.479
<v Speaker 2>And I'm yeah, and I'm like, Dad, how have you

1291
01:10:47.600 --> 01:10:51.000
<v Speaker 2>never mentioned this to any of us? Oh? Well, I

1292
01:10:51.119 --> 01:10:54.760
<v Speaker 2>just I just figured it was uh, just a hunter

1293
01:10:55.680 --> 01:10:59.640
<v Speaker 2>and my dad a hunter walking around in the middle

1294
01:10:59.640 --> 01:11:01.159
<v Speaker 2>of the wind there in bare.

1295
01:11:00.960 --> 01:11:03.720
<v Speaker 3>Feet in the snow. Yeah wow. I don't know.

1296
01:11:03.800 --> 01:11:07.199
<v Speaker 2>I thought maybe he was just camping and maybe just

1297
01:11:07.319 --> 01:11:08.319
<v Speaker 2>left his camp to.

1298
01:11:08.279 --> 01:11:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Go take a piss or something like that. He goes,

1299
01:11:13.079 --> 01:11:14.199
<v Speaker 3>but they weren't huge.

1300
01:11:14.279 --> 01:11:18.319
<v Speaker 2>They weren't, you know, size eighteen's, you know. He said

1301
01:11:18.359 --> 01:11:21.960
<v Speaker 2>that the footprints were comparable to his size, you know.

1302
01:11:22.000 --> 01:11:23.800
<v Speaker 2>And I'm and that's why I'm like, well, Dad, there

1303
01:11:23.800 --> 01:11:28.520
<v Speaker 2>are different size you know, footprints for creatures.

1304
01:11:28.520 --> 01:11:31.159
<v Speaker 3>They got to grow, you know, in order to get big.

1305
01:11:31.279 --> 01:11:34.680
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, so that was just kind of crazy, you

1306
01:11:34.680 --> 01:11:37.560
<v Speaker 2>know that my dad mentioned the you know, finding human

1307
01:11:37.600 --> 01:11:41.479
<v Speaker 2>footprints in the snow, and uh, that was on a

1308
01:11:41.520 --> 01:11:45.439
<v Speaker 2>different mountain than my research area. But it's is I

1309
01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:48.119
<v Speaker 2>know how to get to the area that he where

1310
01:11:48.119 --> 01:11:51.239
<v Speaker 2>he found the footprints, and I actually have gone through

1311
01:11:51.319 --> 01:11:54.479
<v Speaker 2>that area. I spent the day up there and I

1312
01:11:54.600 --> 01:11:59.760
<v Speaker 2>found phenomenal tree breaks, and then I went into the forest.

1313
01:11:59.359 --> 01:12:02.640
<v Speaker 3>Where those three breaks we're at with my dog.

1314
01:12:03.000 --> 01:12:07.319
<v Speaker 2>I have a three legged dogs. She lost her rear

1315
01:12:07.399 --> 01:12:10.159
<v Speaker 2>leg when she got ran over. And he goes out

1316
01:12:10.159 --> 01:12:12.520
<v Speaker 2>a lot with me and does a lot of researching

1317
01:12:12.600 --> 01:12:14.920
<v Speaker 2>with me. But I'm limited on what I can do

1318
01:12:14.960 --> 01:12:17.640
<v Speaker 2>with her because if he hurts one of her.

1319
01:12:17.600 --> 01:12:20.359
<v Speaker 3>Legs, it's a big problem. I'd have to carry her.

1320
01:12:20.800 --> 01:12:23.319
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, me and in her we go into the

1321
01:12:23.359 --> 01:12:27.840
<v Speaker 2>woods underneath these tree breaks, and I find a pile

1322
01:12:27.880 --> 01:12:30.399
<v Speaker 2>of bones in there, just like the pile of bones

1323
01:12:30.439 --> 01:12:34.319
<v Speaker 2>that I found it the upside down tree place, you know,

1324
01:12:34.640 --> 01:12:39.800
<v Speaker 2>and it's it's just kind of creepy because typically bones

1325
01:12:39.880 --> 01:12:43.359
<v Speaker 2>kind of get scattered around, you know, just by animals,

1326
01:12:43.359 --> 01:12:47.960
<v Speaker 2>by nature, you know, when you find them piled in

1327
01:12:48.039 --> 01:12:48.800
<v Speaker 2>the woods.

1328
01:12:48.680 --> 01:12:50.079
<v Speaker 3>It's just kind of creepy.

1329
01:12:50.199 --> 01:12:53.479
<v Speaker 2>It almost seems like they're put there intentionally, and they're

1330
01:12:53.800 --> 01:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>they're not always, I mean, they just kind of end

1331
01:12:56.119 --> 01:12:59.880
<v Speaker 2>up together when the animal decomposes. But it was just,

1332
01:13:00.520 --> 01:13:04.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm following some tree breaks, you know, into

1333
01:13:04.119 --> 01:13:07.880
<v Speaker 2>the woods in the area nearby where my dad found

1334
01:13:07.880 --> 01:13:11.439
<v Speaker 2>the footprints and just find a pile of bones, you know.

1335
01:13:12.319 --> 01:13:15.439
<v Speaker 2>And so that's really all I know about that area

1336
01:13:15.479 --> 01:13:19.239
<v Speaker 2>where my dad found the footprints. That's a whole nother

1337
01:13:20.039 --> 01:13:22.720
<v Speaker 2>wilderness that I would love to spend more time in

1338
01:13:23.079 --> 01:13:24.199
<v Speaker 2>and do more research in.

1339
01:13:24.279 --> 01:13:25.479
<v Speaker 3>I just haven't.

1340
01:13:26.239 --> 01:13:28.640
<v Speaker 2>But so anyway, and I want to be talking about

1341
01:13:28.640 --> 01:13:32.159
<v Speaker 2>my dad. So I'm at my parents' house and I'm

1342
01:13:32.199 --> 01:13:36.760
<v Speaker 2>talking about my findings and what I'm doing, and my

1343
01:13:36.880 --> 01:13:42.079
<v Speaker 2>dad mentions this area that you can drive into, because.

1344
01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:42.600
<v Speaker 3>That's a big deal.

1345
01:13:42.680 --> 01:13:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Like a lot of these areas that I'm researching, you

1346
01:13:45.960 --> 01:13:48.920
<v Speaker 2>can't drive into them. You have to have keys for

1347
01:13:49.000 --> 01:13:52.520
<v Speaker 2>these gates. And so it's kind of cool when you

1348
01:13:52.520 --> 01:13:55.319
<v Speaker 2>can go to these spots and actually drive through them

1349
01:13:55.359 --> 01:13:58.279
<v Speaker 2>in your vehicle. And so my dad, you know, used

1350
01:13:58.319 --> 01:14:00.600
<v Speaker 2>to work for a logging come and he's up in

1351
01:14:00.600 --> 01:14:02.319
<v Speaker 2>that area and.

1352
01:14:02.760 --> 01:14:03.760
<v Speaker 3>Driving logging truck.

1353
01:14:04.399 --> 01:14:07.079
<v Speaker 2>He was a truck driver and so he knows a

1354
01:14:07.079 --> 01:14:09.520
<v Speaker 2>lot of cool spots up there, and he wanted to

1355
01:14:09.560 --> 01:14:10.479
<v Speaker 2>show me this area.

1356
01:14:11.239 --> 01:14:12.399
<v Speaker 3>So we drive out there.

1357
01:14:12.439 --> 01:14:17.439
<v Speaker 2>It was my dad, my wife, and me. I think, yeah,

1358
01:14:17.479 --> 01:14:19.399
<v Speaker 2>it was just the three of us that day. And

1359
01:14:19.760 --> 01:14:22.800
<v Speaker 2>he takes me up through this wilderness and we're driving

1360
01:14:22.880 --> 01:14:27.159
<v Speaker 2>around all day and going down random roads, and we

1361
01:14:27.319 --> 01:14:30.239
<v Speaker 2>go to this really amazing area that puts you right

1362
01:14:30.319 --> 01:14:33.800
<v Speaker 2>on this beach at the Clumbia River. Real private area

1363
01:14:33.920 --> 01:14:38.359
<v Speaker 2>right right on the beach, big huge like palisade cliffs

1364
01:14:38.359 --> 01:14:38.960
<v Speaker 2>are right there.

1365
01:14:39.119 --> 01:14:40.359
<v Speaker 3>Just an awesome area.

1366
01:14:41.159 --> 01:14:44.560
<v Speaker 2>And I'm checking the sand like crazy for footprints because

1367
01:14:44.560 --> 01:14:47.319
<v Speaker 2>it was really good sand for footprints.

1368
01:14:46.720 --> 01:14:48.119
<v Speaker 3>And I'm not finding anything.

1369
01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:52.000
<v Speaker 2>And I've been all over this wilderness all day looking

1370
01:14:52.039 --> 01:14:55.680
<v Speaker 2>for a tree break, looking for something, couldn't find anything,

1371
01:14:55.880 --> 01:14:57.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and I kept saying that it's like God,

1372
01:14:57.640 --> 01:15:02.399
<v Speaker 2>it's so weird, like this area just has no sasquatch

1373
01:15:02.439 --> 01:15:07.359
<v Speaker 2>sign whatsoever anywhere. And then we're driving out and we're

1374
01:15:08.000 --> 01:15:10.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, we're pretty far from where we were

1375
01:15:10.199 --> 01:15:12.479
<v Speaker 2>out at the river. We're almost getting back to where

1376
01:15:13.000 --> 01:15:16.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, people live, and I just off to the

1377
01:15:16.680 --> 01:15:19.840
<v Speaker 2>left there's this little side road and there was a

1378
01:15:19.880 --> 01:15:22.159
<v Speaker 2>tree that was kind of arched in a weird way.

1379
01:15:22.720 --> 01:15:25.600
<v Speaker 2>It just kind of caught my eye, and I'm like,

1380
01:15:25.640 --> 01:15:27.760
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I just want to check this road out.

1381
01:15:27.840 --> 01:15:29.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm just curious about.

1382
01:15:28.800 --> 01:15:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Something big for society. Who will be right back?

1383
01:15:31.960 --> 01:15:52.359
<v Speaker 2>After these messages, I turned down this road and instantly,

1384
01:15:53.119 --> 01:15:54.079
<v Speaker 2>like all of.

1385
01:15:54.039 --> 01:15:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Them, even my dad, who I don't know.

1386
01:15:55.960 --> 01:15:59.439
<v Speaker 2>If he's even a believer, you know, despite everything that's happened,

1387
01:16:00.159 --> 01:16:03.520
<v Speaker 2>still probably a doubter, but he pretends to be a

1388
01:16:03.560 --> 01:16:06.319
<v Speaker 2>believer around me. I don't know that he is a believer.

1389
01:16:07.319 --> 01:16:10.159
<v Speaker 2>But my wife, you know, and she I think she's

1390
01:16:10.159 --> 01:16:14.439
<v Speaker 2>a believer now, but she's been a skeptic of a

1391
01:16:14.479 --> 01:16:17.800
<v Speaker 2>lot of stuff I've experienced. Like she pretends to believe it,

1392
01:16:17.880 --> 01:16:20.640
<v Speaker 2>but I think she just doesn't really know what to

1393
01:16:20.720 --> 01:16:23.479
<v Speaker 2>think because people that have never had experiences like this,

1394
01:16:24.960 --> 01:16:28.239
<v Speaker 2>they just don't really even know how to I don't

1395
01:16:28.239 --> 01:16:32.119
<v Speaker 2>know how to even think that this stuff could possibly

1396
01:16:32.199 --> 01:16:37.000
<v Speaker 2>be real. But so we're pulling down the road, I

1397
01:16:37.039 --> 01:16:41.720
<v Speaker 2>got two skeptics really with me, and uh, instantly this

1398
01:16:42.159 --> 01:16:47.800
<v Speaker 2>entire road was arch trees after arch tree after arch

1399
01:16:47.840 --> 01:16:53.399
<v Speaker 2>tree arches across the road. So we're driving underneath these trees.

1400
01:16:53.439 --> 01:16:57.800
<v Speaker 2>And these trees are all about oh about as big

1401
01:16:57.840 --> 01:17:02.560
<v Speaker 2>around as like my forearm, maybe a little thicker, some

1402
01:17:02.680 --> 01:17:06.880
<v Speaker 2>a little smaller. But something had taken every single one

1403
01:17:06.920 --> 01:17:11.239
<v Speaker 2>of these trees, and these are maples and bent them into.

1404
01:17:11.239 --> 01:17:12.920
<v Speaker 3>Arches across the road.

1405
01:17:13.039 --> 01:17:16.159
<v Speaker 2>So as you're driving through, you're going under all these arches,

1406
01:17:16.800 --> 01:17:18.880
<v Speaker 2>and then you look to the right and there would

1407
01:17:18.880 --> 01:17:20.439
<v Speaker 2>be a tree break that had.

1408
01:17:20.279 --> 01:17:23.600
<v Speaker 3>Been bent over and broke this whole road. And this

1409
01:17:23.720 --> 01:17:27.520
<v Speaker 3>road goes for about I don't know, roughly a mile

1410
01:17:27.800 --> 01:17:28.600
<v Speaker 3>in the.

1411
01:17:28.640 --> 01:17:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Entire road was just tree breaks and bends and arches.

1412
01:17:34.199 --> 01:17:37.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's just so weird that there was nothing

1413
01:17:37.399 --> 01:17:39.880
<v Speaker 2>in this area. And then all of a sudden I

1414
01:17:39.920 --> 01:17:42.439
<v Speaker 2>turned down this one road and it's just like a

1415
01:17:42.600 --> 01:17:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Sasquatch playground.

1416
01:17:44.439 --> 01:17:46.560
<v Speaker 3>And a lot of the tree breaks.

1417
01:17:46.359 --> 01:17:51.239
<v Speaker 2>Were old, dried up, old, like multiple years old, and

1418
01:17:51.279 --> 01:17:53.279
<v Speaker 2>then some of them looked like they were so fresh

1419
01:17:53.319 --> 01:17:57.479
<v Speaker 2>they could have happened that day. And then before the

1420
01:17:57.560 --> 01:17:59.680
<v Speaker 2>road ends, I look off to the left and there

1421
01:17:59.760 --> 01:18:02.319
<v Speaker 2>was like a creek probably that comes in you look

1422
01:18:02.399 --> 01:18:06.560
<v Speaker 2>like a canyon. And I get out and I go look,

1423
01:18:06.640 --> 01:18:09.560
<v Speaker 2>and something had taken these trees, and these trees are

1424
01:18:09.640 --> 01:18:15.680
<v Speaker 2>like eighty feet tall, but they're just really skinny, really skinny,

1425
01:18:15.720 --> 01:18:17.319
<v Speaker 2>like beanpole like trees.

1426
01:18:18.119 --> 01:18:20.479
<v Speaker 3>I don't know that they're they're fighting.

1427
01:18:20.159 --> 01:18:22.920
<v Speaker 2>To get light or whatever, so they just stretch out

1428
01:18:22.960 --> 01:18:26.680
<v Speaker 2>like crazy. But something had actually taken three of these

1429
01:18:26.760 --> 01:18:30.760
<v Speaker 2>trees and bent them into each other and made an

1430
01:18:30.960 --> 01:18:34.960
<v Speaker 2>arch where the roots were on each side, and then

1431
01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:39.640
<v Speaker 2>they had been twisted and almost braided into each other

1432
01:18:39.960 --> 01:18:42.520
<v Speaker 2>like and I videoed all this. I have video of

1433
01:18:42.560 --> 01:18:46.000
<v Speaker 2>all this, and it's just this impossible arch where the

1434
01:18:46.079 --> 01:18:50.199
<v Speaker 2>trees are just going up under under I mean, there's

1435
01:18:50.439 --> 01:18:56.439
<v Speaker 2>no way a windstorm, a tornado, or a hurricane. We

1436
01:18:56.520 --> 01:18:58.760
<v Speaker 2>don't get any of those in this area that I'm

1437
01:18:58.800 --> 01:19:01.840
<v Speaker 2>in anyway, but they do get heavy wind, really get

1438
01:19:01.840 --> 01:19:04.119
<v Speaker 2>heavy wind from time to time out there. But there's

1439
01:19:04.159 --> 01:19:09.760
<v Speaker 2>just no way anything could have done this without coordinated,

1440
01:19:10.239 --> 01:19:11.680
<v Speaker 2>intentional fingers.

1441
01:19:11.760 --> 01:19:12.039
<v Speaker 3>You know.

1442
01:19:12.359 --> 01:19:16.359
<v Speaker 2>It's and so that anyway, that was just a really

1443
01:19:16.399 --> 01:19:19.880
<v Speaker 2>interesting thing because it's it's almost like anywhere I go

1444
01:19:20.000 --> 01:19:26.159
<v Speaker 2>up there, I'm gonna find super significant sasquatch evidence. I mean,

1445
01:19:26.359 --> 01:19:30.439
<v Speaker 2>it's just everywhere I go there, it is like some

1446
01:19:30.520 --> 01:19:34.600
<v Speaker 2>of it's more vague than others, but this whole entire area,

1447
01:19:35.039 --> 01:19:39.560
<v Speaker 2>it I don't know if it's one big tribe of

1448
01:19:39.560 --> 01:19:43.680
<v Speaker 2>them or if it's you know, multiple tribes.

1449
01:19:44.079 --> 01:19:46.079
<v Speaker 3>It's it's it's.

1450
01:19:45.880 --> 01:19:50.359
<v Speaker 2>A big area, but it's uh, it's just inundated with it.

1451
01:19:50.680 --> 01:19:53.520
<v Speaker 2>And when I found this, this particular road that I'm

1452
01:19:53.560 --> 01:19:58.800
<v Speaker 2>talking about with all the arches, it seemed like we

1453
01:19:58.800 --> 01:20:03.760
<v Speaker 2>were a good third plus miles away from my main

1454
01:20:04.000 --> 01:20:08.319
<v Speaker 2>research area. And so at that moment, I thought, well,

1455
01:20:08.359 --> 01:20:12.199
<v Speaker 2>this has to be a different tribe of them, because

1456
01:20:12.359 --> 01:20:14.960
<v Speaker 2>these tree breaks are a little different than the ones

1457
01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:18.039
<v Speaker 2>that I'm I'm finding in my area. They just kind

1458
01:20:18.079 --> 01:20:20.079
<v Speaker 2>of had a different style to them.

1459
01:20:20.119 --> 01:20:20.600
<v Speaker 3>In a way.

1460
01:20:22.399 --> 01:20:24.840
<v Speaker 2>But then when I actually pulled up the maps and

1461
01:20:24.960 --> 01:20:30.039
<v Speaker 2>really looked at you know, the layout, the topography and everything,

1462
01:20:31.560 --> 01:20:35.399
<v Speaker 2>it was only about it about ten miles away, you

1463
01:20:35.399 --> 01:20:38.680
<v Speaker 2>know as the crow flies, which would be probably like

1464
01:20:39.239 --> 01:20:42.920
<v Speaker 2>fourteen miles if you were to actually hike it, going

1465
01:20:43.039 --> 01:20:44.960
<v Speaker 2>up and down the canyon walls and.

1466
01:20:45.319 --> 01:20:46.079
<v Speaker 3>Stuff like that.

1467
01:20:46.720 --> 01:20:50.279
<v Speaker 2>So it's not impossible that the same sasquatches are covering

1468
01:20:50.319 --> 01:20:52.359
<v Speaker 2>the same ground.

1469
01:20:52.720 --> 01:20:56.239
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I don't know how far they.

1470
01:20:57.840 --> 01:21:00.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, would migrate or what they can consider a

1471
01:21:01.680 --> 01:21:03.840
<v Speaker 2>just a stroll through the woods would be.

1472
01:21:04.000 --> 01:21:07.159
<v Speaker 3>Is that twenty miles or two miles? You know, I

1473
01:21:07.159 --> 01:21:07.720
<v Speaker 3>have no idea.

1474
01:21:07.880 --> 01:21:10.119
<v Speaker 1>No, I mean it's it's got to be. I would

1475
01:21:10.119 --> 01:21:13.840
<v Speaker 1>think a ton of miles. But man, Hugh, this, I

1476
01:21:13.840 --> 01:21:18.840
<v Speaker 1>feel like we're probably gonna talk. I would love it

1477
01:21:18.880 --> 01:21:21.600
<v Speaker 1>if you would keep me up to date with what's

1478
01:21:21.680 --> 01:21:22.119
<v Speaker 1>going on.

1479
01:21:22.600 --> 01:21:25.279
<v Speaker 2>Follow up episode might be a really good idea, because

1480
01:21:25.319 --> 01:21:33.319
<v Speaker 2>I currently have I think fifteen game cameras in this area. Yeah,

1481
01:21:33.560 --> 01:21:37.359
<v Speaker 2>and uh, I actually no, it's like eleven I forgot.

1482
01:21:37.359 --> 01:21:38.159
<v Speaker 2>I got a couple of.

1483
01:21:38.119 --> 01:21:39.920
<v Speaker 1>My that's still pretty awesome.

1484
01:21:41.119 --> 01:21:41.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and.

1485
01:21:43.640 --> 01:21:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I got some some big plans actually, because it

1486
01:21:46.760 --> 01:21:51.079
<v Speaker 2>seemed to work last time on enticing them into my camp,

1487
01:21:51.720 --> 01:21:55.800
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going to really pursue that. No, I probably

1488
01:21:55.800 --> 01:21:57.720
<v Speaker 2>will have some pretty cool follow up stuff.

1489
01:21:57.760 --> 01:21:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Pretty that's awesome.

1490
01:21:58.760 --> 01:21:58.840
<v Speaker 2>You.

1491
01:21:58.920 --> 01:22:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, definitely keep me, keep me in the loop with

1492
01:22:01.840 --> 01:22:04.600
<v Speaker 1>what goes on in in your area up there. For sure.

1493
01:22:05.840 --> 01:22:08.159
<v Speaker 2>I do have footage of what I believe is a

1494
01:22:09.199 --> 01:22:14.479
<v Speaker 2>face of a sasquat looking at me, but I couldn't

1495
01:22:14.479 --> 01:22:18.319
<v Speaker 2>get the camera to focus on it, and uh, I

1496
01:22:18.359 --> 01:22:20.680
<v Speaker 2>was in a canyon on the slope. It was super

1497
01:22:20.720 --> 01:22:24.520
<v Speaker 2>sketchy and then I also have another footage that was

1498
01:22:24.800 --> 01:22:28.359
<v Speaker 2>right at sundown and I couldn't get the camera to focus,

1499
01:22:28.399 --> 01:22:30.880
<v Speaker 2>and so I tost that camera side and pulled out

1500
01:22:30.920 --> 01:22:33.560
<v Speaker 2>another camera and uh by.

1501
01:22:33.479 --> 01:22:35.800
<v Speaker 3>The time I got it up, but there was nothing there.

1502
01:22:36.840 --> 01:22:41.239
<v Speaker 2>And another piece of footage I got blobs black blobs

1503
01:22:41.279 --> 01:22:44.399
<v Speaker 2>in a shrub that seemed to be moving.

1504
01:22:44.960 --> 01:22:45.920
<v Speaker 3>But I could, you know what I mean.

1505
01:22:45.960 --> 01:22:49.119
<v Speaker 2>So I have a lot of like maybe squatch footage,

1506
01:22:49.119 --> 01:22:51.960
<v Speaker 2>but it's just I want I want that million dollars shot.

1507
01:22:52.079 --> 01:22:53.439
<v Speaker 3>It'll blow up, you know.

1508
01:22:53.800 --> 01:22:57.560
<v Speaker 1>I would recommend to just put it all up. Seriously,

1509
01:22:59.319 --> 01:23:03.880
<v Speaker 1>put it up. Yeah, people can. I mean, you'd be surprised.

1510
01:23:03.920 --> 01:23:06.239
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of like really technical people that can

1511
01:23:06.399 --> 01:23:10.039
<v Speaker 1>even they might be even able to help clear up stuff.

1512
01:23:10.600 --> 01:23:13.439
<v Speaker 1>But I would not. I would just put it all

1513
01:23:13.520 --> 01:23:16.720
<v Speaker 1>up because people love watching your journey as well. That's

1514
