I've done solo camping in tent and car all over the US, and in so-called BF hot spots. Mt Shasta, Provo canyon Utah, Great Smokey Mountains, etc. Most of the high strangeness I've experienced was in Maryland and PA. Seen orbs, heard vocals, wood knocks, rock clacking, and have even had a couple possible sightings, one more recently of a cinnamon colored subject peeking at me from behind a large woodpile while I played Native American flute. This was in a heavily wooded area not that far up the Potomac river from D.C.
Also with tripwire and bells all around my camp, so I can be alerted to something in the area, before it gets to my tent, giving me time to prepare. Also, a big bottle of bear spray + a knife or two. Never know when a mountain lion might jump on your back and bite you from behind. Multiple layers of defense is good, not just one tool. Different situations call for different tools.
I would be more concerned about mountain lions. They aren’t officially recognized as being in New York, but I’ve heard so many stories from friends who hike and hunt or otherwise spend time in the Adirondacks that I believe they’re here. And unlike Sasquatches, which I also have no trouble believing are here, mountain lions are definitely a danger to humans.
Great point. I've never seen any myself, nor any signs of any, but compared to anything else they're by far the most dangerous. I've run into dozens of black bears, too, but never met any that meant to threaten me.
@@dellingerderek - You don't even want to know what it feels like to awaken to a living waking nightmare, like I did twice in very dark woods on a farm in southwestern Ohio. Do you think that you could handle being close enough to touch a sasquatch? I didn't have a choice. Being very closely surrounded by it's good sized clan on three sides was probably the worst (best) part.
You had better watch out for Mr Clause. Lives alone in the N. Pole with his wife and a bunch of elves. This time of year, little to do, nagging wife, bothersome elves...dude gets his drink on. He is a mean drunk if ya know what I mean.
I love the way this is filmed. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. I’ve learned through reading the comments that you grew up in my area - I’m from Lebanon, PA. I venture into the regional woods quite often to do small landscape paintings in oil. So far I have only encountered black bears. I enjoy your work - subscribed!
@Buffenmeyer Crazy, we're from the same town! Always nice to run into someone else from the world's bologna capital, haha. Thank you for the kind words, would definitely be curious to check out your landscape paintings if you put them online! Central PA is a such a curious and interesting place.
Loved this! Subbed. The footage and narration is wonderful. I am a believer and what better place to find a sasquatch than in those beautiful mountains!
So glad you noticed the important thing (to me, anyway): the beautiful mountains. Absolutely love it out there. Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words. Happy trails!
I was born and currently live in New England, but never had a bigfoot experience. However, I lived in the northern Sierra Nevada's where I camped every weekend from May to late Oct. for 5 years. It was in the Tahoe National forest that I had a one-time experience. Deep in the forest, miles from anything, I was hiking around and heard the screaming of a woman (like bloody murder). This went on and off for twenty minutes until we left the area. A very creepy, scary experience indeed. This, is one of their many warning signs. I am most definitely a believer. I also believe they are an ancient being with telepathic abilities, can disappear at will, and are somehow involved with UFO's. They also can detect the EMF of game cameras, etc. Ontario Sasquatch is an amazing channel. Mike has made contact with them and has befriended them. Thank you for sharing this video.
Ah! I was born and raised within a stone's throw of Whitehall, NY. Sad to see how it has declined from its old grandeur. I have hiked and camped right where you were many times, though I prefer the lean-tos around Fishbrook Pond, near Sleeping Beauty. A trail very close to where you were is a the Buck Mt. trail, from the back or east side. A lot of people have seen things on that trail over the years. Subscribed!
Yeah, that whole area feels rich with vibes. Love exploring there every chance I get. And agree about Whitehall, but I'm hoping it's on the upswing these days. I haven't actually done Buck Mt. yet -- gonna have to prioritize that now, I think. Thanks for sharing!
Id probably have to solo camp in a big foot hot spot, if the people i currently know found out where we were planning to camp was one. Wouldnt be the first time ive had one pacing the roof over my head all night
I live in Montana and do allot of back country camping. Places nobody goes too. I do not take any human trails that hunters have used or anyone else. I do follow animal trails. And the only thing I have ever heard was something taking a big branch and hitting a tree. But it hits the tree once. Then waits a few minutes. Then it keeps doing it. Just a big thump. I have been lucky with animals. Having seen mountain lions 3 times. And black bears of many different colors. Cinnamon and all black. Black with a white spot on the chest. And dark brown ones. But no howels but from coyotes. And a yelp from a fox. And a little Martin which is a little weasel looking animal that ran over my sleeping back as I was laying down. I do not use a tent. And do not light camp fires. Because I prefer things not to know I am there smelling the smoke. I do not carry a gun but have many. But do carry a Bowie knife. I travel lite. But carry a gallon of water. I have found were something has broken off pine branches and made itself a big soft spot to lay on. And have found dead animal skulls and bone. And a dead deer and two dead elk. But could not tell what killed them. More then like either died from being sick. Or killed by a grizzle. But grizzle usually bury their kill. So who knows. I enjoy camping in the wild. You hear all kinds of noises at night. Things walking around where I lay down. It's great. No sounds but what lives in the wild. No cars or trucks in the distance. Just nature. I have been doing this for over 26 years and have never had a problem with anything. And going alone. There is no talking going on to scare things away. No footsteps but my own. And I wear moccasins so I am not making allot of noise walking. I avoid stepping on any small branches so the sound of it snapping does not happen.
My experience in the woods has been very similar to yours. Lots and lots of bears. So many bears. But rarely more than that. It's amazing out there. Quietness is the theme. Thank you taking the time to share your experiences!
@@dellingerderek I live off the grid on a mountain. And bears have left claw marks on the outside of my cabin. And nothing can be left outside or it will be chewed up. Paint cans or gas cans. One bear flattened two of my tires biting threw the side wall. I had some garbage in the house to bring to the dump. A bear with their sensitive smell. I was sleeping heard a bear clawing at my door. But it's common so I think nothing of it. But this bear gots it's claws on the bottom corner of my insulated door. They are just sheet metal on both sides and foam in the middle. The bear bent the corner and pushed it in. Enough to get it's head in. I heard the door bending. Got out of bed. With both hands pushed the bears head out while bending the corner of the door down with my knee. Then had a 2x4 and some 16 penny nails in the house. And nailed it on both sides of the walls of my log cabin. So the bear could not keep pushing the corner of the door up. Then when it got light. I climbed out my back window. Drove to town and bought a solid door. The bear was not trying to get in to attack me. It just smelled the trash and was trying to get in to get it. I do not blame the bear. If I was starving. And had no money or food. I would be in a dumpster looking for anything to eat too. I moved to the wilderness to be with the wildlife. Not to be against it. My life has been a adventure living the way I do. And having grown up in a city. Where life was easy. Just flip a switch. Or take a shower in the house. Or turn on a facet for water. Just plow the driveway with a snow blower. I gave those things up. And it's a much more physical life. And your on your own. And you got to be careful and lucky enough not to get hurt. Or your going to die. But living in fear and dread is not a life I would want to live. So I do not worry about it. You can die just as easy in hundreds of ways living in a city. I do not live thinking everything is out to get me. Oh no a bear or mountain lion. They could care less about me. 🙂
@@WayneMacLean-lj8lb Good for you for living this way. It's admirable. I dream of it sometimes. Bears and trees usually make for much better company than other humans these days. I spend every moment I can in the woods, but it's true dedication to live like that. Wish you the best of luck -- stay safe out there, and enjoy every moment of it.
@@dellingerderek Thanks enjoy your life too. I was married living in the city. But divorced her. If I was married when I moved to the life I enjoy now. It would not have been a life for a women. Or if I had kids. Because it would not be safe for them. And I would be worried about them getting hurt. And they would have no friends and be very unhappy. So I am very lucky to live how I want to with no worries. Peace to you and yours always.
True true. Honestly, I ended up getting to the campsite right before sunset, so I was feeling rushed and it felt like scrambling to get a fire going wasn't a top priority by that point. I had plenty of light and didn't need to cook the food I'd brought. But that's a great point for future scenarios. Fire building is a valuable skill!
I live in a little town named Vernon Ontario about 100 miles north where you are maybe a little more. I had two Bigfoot encounters between 77 and 79 and they weren’t that friendly.
I "camp" w Sasquatch every night in the App Mtns of NC. The Sabe are just outside the front door here. One has to learn how to look for their signs in the trees. They are shamanic race of People,and not merely flesh and blood. Some of the best friends I have ever known/had,too.
I took your advice and listened on a pair of high end audiophile earphones. What in the heck did you record in between the howls right at the time stamp of 18:00? If you listen really close you can hear it not so far off.
Honestly, I would have to guess that's probably just me moving around / adjusting my position? I don't think it's a wildlife sound. But it's hard to say. Could be a squirrel too. I don't remember hearing anything there in the moment, but it's crazy how nuanced audio gets when you're really focused on it. That's why I love making ambient films with no soundtrack whatsoever -- forces you to pay attention to the world in a very particular way. Especially in a quiet setting like this, you REALLY notice everything, especially when you're there, haha.
@@dellingerderek It sounds like when people describe hearing very faint talking off in the distance. I listened to it like 15 times with noise canceling headphones turned almost all the way up and it was uncanny.
We struggle with anything that can't be put in a box, labeled, weighed and measured. Humans hate feeling uncertain. Unfortunately, uncertainty seems to be the bedrock of reality itself.
Exactly! All those footprints, hundreds, if not thousands of sightings, gotta think at least ONE out of the lot has to be genuine. I get a kick out of people who complain the modern pictures are too shaky and blurry, like they don't know that unless you have a zoom lens with you, you're gonna have to get up close because these cell phones might have good cameras on them, they aren't good for distance. Not to mention, of course the pics are gonna be shaky, you see something walking toward you that's between 8 and 12 feet tall and built like a brick sh*thouse, you're gonna be shaking. Nobody's going to be able to keep their composure under those circumstances
Im in central Pa.,in the Summer of 2012,my sibling and I had a road crossing in broad daylight .It must have been a juvenile? It was on all fours and looked like an ape.We fishtailed the car to keep from hitting it.
We both said " that looked like a monkey or gorilla!" This was in Fulton County ,Pa.a few miles before Cowan's Gap State Park.It was a brown color, like a rabbit.5'3,120-140 lbs?
That's very fascinating. I grew up in eastern-central PA. Near Hershey. Never saw anything, but the part of the state you're talking about is a different world entirely. That's a crazy, thanks for sharing it!
Encountering Bigfoot while solo camping would be the lesser of evils that could befall you. With so many psychos lurking around in remote areas for just such a hapless victim, just crazy to be out alone in the woods these days. Probably the reason there are so many missing person cases.
Nikon Z 6II with a 24 - 70 lens! Though I've since upgraded to the new Tamron 35-150, and man, that lens is incredible. Still need a 24 prime for certain situations, but otherwise it's so versatile and looks so good.
Yeah, honestly at the end of the day, they all make some great cameras. Each have pros and cons. I've heard great things about the recent Sonys and would love to try them at some point. Especially for low light photography like this, the 6II seems to struggle a bit, and I've heard the Sony a7siii performs well under such conditions.
This latest generation is pretty darn good! I’m lucky enough to have the FX3 and FX6. I am using some Sony F4 lenses, and have gotten by pretty well with those. Of course they still do need light, the dual native ISO isn’t the cheat code some tend to bill it as. It does let you use your lights on a lower power setting for sure though, which is awesome for interviews and what not.
Would I stay there now @ 58, after 7 surgeries on each foot, 3 lower back surgeries, 21 total? HECK NO! I have been into the subject of Sasquatch since way before the internet and my beliefs agree with the 1000+ years stories of indigenous peoples all over this planet, that know they are the people of the forest, a real undocumented hominid that needs to be respected and left alone. Would I have stayed there 30 years ago?.....HECK NO!!...hahahaha
Research... melba ketchums....and you will get your answer to your sabe/ sasquatch...your questions you need to do more research...to your puzzle...i personally have them to my puzzle...thankyou..😊❤
I do it all the time in Washington. Unsurprisingly, I have never encountered any because they don’t exist. Neither do ghosts, goblins, vampires, werewolves, or aliens.
Wouldn't bother me i always have one of my trusty hot lead slingers with me when I go out camping especially if I'm by myself worst case scenario I'd have to fill big foot full of lead I wouldn't want to but if it comes down to me or big foot or a bear cougar they breath and bleed so i can kill it if necessary been hunting for over 30 years, the only thing that makes me nervous is being in the Forrest the mountain and all of a sudden the Forrest go silent that makes nervous especially if happen at night make thr hair on the back of your neck stand up , Bigfoot ain't bullet proof so i not worried about it i would not want to kill one but if I don't have a choice i pick me my safety at least we would finally have undoubtble proof and scientists can learn more about them
I think I Wouk sone there has never been any proof that such a creature exists. Lots of evidence and lots of sketchy photos and videos but never any proof. No body. No remains. No k nothing. Its amazing.
Would we go camping in Sasquatch county? Brother-man we live in the Adarondek mountains. If ya come camping here, bring a high powered rifle with you just in case, mount Marcy can get crazy at night.
I also live in the Adirondack's....I'll tell you this the comment where he lives in the the Adirondack's and spelled it wrong is a 100 percent Adirondack wood chuck!!! Native, born and raised. They are scarier than bigfoot.
Ive seen them in southern Indiana. Its changed the way i hunt, the way i spend time in the outdoors and i do not let children in my family get more than a few steps away from me while in the woods. Theyve never harmed me, but they have messed with me and damaged my hunting stands. I dont want to spend the night with them. I dont like them and i dont trust them.
those handmade crosses are the scariest things I’ve ever seen in a video of the woods at night.. I have a saying, “lord-please protect me from your followers” I think you might need some protection from the lords followers in those woods.. what would a person be doing in the woods at night? You mean someone besides you?
Would I do it??? I have done it. Countless times. Sober. High. Drunk. Never saw anything on the ground out of the ordinary. Saw many unexplained things in the day and night sky, though.
Hi Derek awesome content! I never really knew New York has so much wilderness.It's crazy to think this creature could exist there. But then again I live in Southern California and while taking a short cut on a dirt road out near nowhere at all I saw a good set of track in which I casted the following day. I've been an avid hiker well over 35 years and although I've never had a visual sighting, the tracks, screams and presence of this creature has helped me build a case for myself to believe this is a real biologically breathing heavy in think mode animal. I very much enjoyed this video. You have a new subscriber. Thank You
Thank you so much for the kind words and sharing your thoughts! I feel similarly to you, I think. It's always healthy to be open to things that might seem bizarre at first, given enough evidence and experience. If you ever visit the area, you really can't go wrong hiking up in the Adirondacks! It's a special place, for sure.
I tend to fall on the side of "there's more to it than we understand." Which I think is the case with a lot of what we think we know, anyway! The universe has a tricky way of never being quite what we expect it to be.
@@dellingerderek was just listening to Sasquatch Chronicles, and the host… Wes Germer… posed the question/soeculation… isn’t it interesting how we haven’t caught up with them with all the efforts out there? It’s really something to think about. By the way… to answer the question in your thumbnail… yes

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I grew up in central PA. There's absolutely some strange energy in that part of the world.
Just west of there, east of Pittsburgh, shows lots of reports, though Pennsylvania has reports all over
I wouldn't camp anywhere alone without Mr. Smith and Wesson along with me.
Also with tripwire and bells all around my camp, so I can be alerted to something in the area, before it gets to my tent, giving me time to prepare. Also, a big bottle of bear spray + a knife or two. Never know when a mountain lion might jump on your back and bite you from behind. Multiple layers of defense is good, not just one tool. Different situations call for different tools.

I've seen tracks in the snow once. Up by Hunter Mountain. Too big to be Bobcat
@@donolinger6904 Sounds legitimately terrifying. Honestly, I have no idea how I would react in that situation.
This whole area is truly amazing! Such vibrant colors! Very enjoyable share bud!
It really is a special place. So lucky to have it nearby. Thank you very much!
I sure would because i have as much of a chance as getting assaulted by Santa Claus😂

Those owl hoots make me wonder if you were visited. Could be a Barred Owl… though many say they make owl calls.
I seem to have a lot of owl encounters with interesting timing. Of course, lots of folk myths about that, too. But who knows.

Really appreciate that, thank you!
Good video, was curious -- what trail is this?
Thanks! This is Black Mountain, on Lake George. South side of the mountain, by the ponds, there are several lean-tos. Lake George is just to the west.
New sub here
Thank you so much!
I don't know why individuals still refer to Sasquatch as "undiscovered ". It's clearly been discovered over and over again by many all over the world.
We struggle with anything that can't be put in a box, labeled, weighed and measured. Humans hate feeling uncertain. Unfortunately, uncertainty seems to be the bedrock of reality itself.
Exactly! All those footprints, hundreds, if not thousands of sightings, gotta think at least ONE out of the lot has to be genuine.
I get a kick out of people who complain the modern pictures are too shaky and blurry, like they don't know that unless you have a zoom lens with you, you're gonna have to get up close because these cell phones might have good cameras on them, they aren't good for distance. Not to mention, of course the pics are gonna be shaky, you see something walking toward you that's between 8 and 12 feet tall and built like a brick sh*thouse, you're gonna be shaking. Nobody's going to be able to keep their composure under those circumstances
I would love to camp there
why not, i did at a dog man hot spot in LBL Ky.
Im in central Pa.,in the Summer of 2012,my sibling and I had a road crossing in broad daylight .It must have been a juvenile? It was on all fours and looked like an ape.We fishtailed the car to keep from hitting it.
We both said " that looked like a monkey or gorilla!" This was in Fulton County ,Pa.a few miles before Cowan's Gap State Park.It was a brown color, like a rabbit.5'3,120-140 lbs?
That's very fascinating. I grew up in eastern-central PA. Near Hershey. Never saw anything, but the part of the state you're talking about is a different world entirely. That's a crazy, thanks for sharing it!
Yes i would, id love it
Encountering Bigfoot while solo camping would be the lesser of evils that could befall you. With so many psychos lurking around in remote areas for just such a hapless victim, just crazy to be out alone in the woods these days. Probably the reason there are so many missing person cases.
Yes and i will keep doing it! Not scared of Sasquatch.
Was that a machine gun sounding woodpecker?
Sure was
I havent see one but yes ive her one way to close to my house and i seen a foot print in my yeard just one time
Enjoyed it! Curious what cameras you filmed this adventurer with?
Nikon Z 6II with a 24 - 70 lens! Though I've since upgraded to the new Tamron 35-150, and man, that lens is incredible. Still need a 24 prime for certain situations, but otherwise it's so versatile and looks so good.
Very cool! I’m in the Sony system now, coming from Canon. Nikon has always done pretty well though, looked great!
Yeah, honestly at the end of the day, they all make some great cameras. Each have pros and cons. I've heard great things about the recent Sonys and would love to try them at some point. Especially for low light photography like this, the 6II seems to struggle a bit, and I've heard the Sony a7siii performs well under such conditions.
This latest generation is pretty darn good! I’m lucky enough to have the FX3 and FX6. I am using some Sony F4 lenses, and have gotten by pretty well with those. Of course they still do need light, the dual native ISO isn’t the cheat code some tend to bill it as. It does let you use your lights on a lower power setting for sure though, which is awesome for interviews and what not.
I would . :)
Would I stay there now @ 58, after 7 surgeries on each foot, 3 lower back surgeries, 21 total? HECK NO! I have been into the subject of Sasquatch since way before the internet and my beliefs agree with the 1000+ years stories of indigenous peoples all over this planet, that know they are the people of the forest, a real undocumented hominid that needs to be respected and left alone.
Would I have stayed there 30 years ago?.....HECK NO!!...hahahaha
Its right after the owl hoot at 17:53 ... at exactly 18:02 is when the second and a half (mumbling) happens.
Oh my goodness when it’s running towards them I scared by proxy
I know, terrifying right?
Would it be trespassing, an invasion of privacy?
Yes I would. And I have.
I would definitely
If I have a small trailer and a solid truck to sleep in ya I would. A tent is so stupid. No protection from anything.
Research... melba ketchums....and you will get your answer to your sabe/ sasquatch...your questions you need to do more research...to your puzzle...i personally have them to my puzzle...thankyou..😊❤
I fish and hunt in known Skunk Ape hot spot areas in Florida... so far , nothing... 🤔
Maybe one day. If they're out there, they certainly are elusive
Then leave out a few nice juicy apples. Oh, they will be along in no time flat. Put a few up on tree branches, they will be gone in no time.
Yes I will
Just look at the upper horn of NY state, and that's basically the Adirondacks
That newt was a Sasquatch envoy
"Sasquatch wants you to know that ----"
Only CHUCK NORRIS does that ...
Hahah
I would, easily.
I do it all the time in Washington. Unsurprisingly, I have never encountered any because they don’t exist. Neither do ghosts, goblins, vampires, werewolves, or aliens.
Wrong
I am native american and yes bigfoot do exist and so do spirit's
@@pamelabrown234 Sure they do. And they work in your casinos with their really trashy lounge act and gorge themselves at the buffet.
I see you have not only scoped-out the entire Earth....you've also scoped-out the entire Universe. Good work, C.O. ; )
@@kevinburesh4135 Yes, I am indeed amazing. It’s good you realize this. You may carry on with your life, now, such as it is.
Why not? I might miss the chance to get a grainy video of something behind a tree that proves nothing?
Wouldn't bother me i always have one of my trusty hot lead slingers with me when I go out camping especially if I'm by myself worst case scenario I'd have to fill big foot full of lead I wouldn't want to but if it comes down to me or big foot or a bear cougar they breath and bleed so i can kill it if necessary been hunting for over 30 years, the only thing that makes me nervous is being in the Forrest the mountain and all of a sudden the Forrest go silent that makes nervous especially if happen at night make thr hair on the back of your neck stand up , Bigfoot ain't bullet proof so i not worried about it i would not want to kill one but if I don't have a choice i pick me my safety at least we would finally have undoubtble proof and scientists can learn more about them
Im near sacandaga lake
I don't drink, but I'd bring a 12 pack and a bottle of mad dog, leave it about 30 feet away from camp, I doubt I'd have any problem.
Sounds like a good camping experience either haha
I think I Wouk sone there has never been any proof that such a creature exists. Lots of evidence and lots of sketchy photos and videos but never any proof. No body. No remains. No k nothing.
Its amazing.
Would we go camping in Sasquatch county? Brother-man we live in the Adarondek mountains. If ya come camping here, bring a high powered rifle with you just in case, mount Marcy can get crazy at night.
Haha sounds about right
I also live in the Adirondack's....I'll tell you this the comment where he lives in the the Adirondack's and spelled it wrong is a 100 percent Adirondack wood chuck!!! Native, born and raised. They are scarier than bigfoot.
Are going to see actual footage of your camping or is this just a narrated story,??
A little of both. Camping starts around 12 minutes in. If that's something you'd like to see more focus on, good to know. Appreciate feedback!
@@dellingerderek tyvm. I love videos if things happening in real time.
Had bigfoot steak last night . No need to panic
Hahahah. How was it?
A1 made it awesome.
A1 on bigfoot
The true danger in the woods? it’s our own species . Far less concerned about any wildlife.
You're exactly right
Whitehall and Adirondacks not a hotspot just a passing ground. Thousands of people camp and many campgrounds in that area with no sightings
ALONE? ...
with an m1 carbine.
Ive seen them in southern Indiana.
Its changed the way i hunt, the way i spend time in the outdoors and i do not let children in my family get more than a few steps away from me while in the woods. Theyve never harmed me, but they have messed with me and damaged my hunting stands. I dont want to spend the night with them.
I dont like them and i dont trust them.
This how they draw tourists
those handmade crosses are the scariest things I’ve ever seen in a video of the woods at night..
I have a saying, “lord-please protect me from your followers”
I think you might need some protection from the lords followers in those woods..
what would a person be doing in the woods at night? You mean someone besides you?
Would I do it???
I have done it. Countless times. Sober. High. Drunk. Never saw anything on the ground out of the ordinary. Saw many unexplained things in the day and night sky, though.
The weirdness definitely seems to be up in the sky these days...
Who classified it as a Bigfoot spot!
Hi Derek awesome content! I never really knew New York has so much wilderness.It's crazy to think this creature could exist there. But then again I live in Southern California and while taking a short cut on a dirt road out near nowhere at all I saw a good set of track in which I casted the following day. I've been an avid hiker well over 35 years and although I've never had a visual sighting, the tracks, screams and presence of this creature has helped me build a case for myself to believe this is a real biologically breathing heavy in think mode animal. I very much enjoyed this video. You have a new subscriber.
Thank You
Thank you so much for the kind words and sharing your thoughts! I feel similarly to you, I think. It's always healthy to be open to things that might seem bizarre at first, given enough evidence and experience.
If you ever visit the area, you really can't go wrong hiking up in the Adirondacks! It's a special place, for sure.
The lack of established evidence either indicates they don’t exist, or that there’s more to it than we understand… such as intelligence etc. IMO
I tend to fall on the side of "there's more to it than we understand." Which I think is the case with a lot of what we think we know, anyway! The universe has a tricky way of never being quite what we expect it to be.
@@dellingerderek was just listening to Sasquatch Chronicles, and the host… Wes Germer… posed the question/soeculation… isn’t it interesting how we haven’t caught up with them with all the efforts out there? It’s really something to think about.
By the way… to answer the question in your thumbnail… yes
Considering there has never been an encounter with one where factual evidence was presented to prove it. I think you will be fine.
Sure just keep a camera on all night as Bigfoot seems to be camera shy.
The real problem is other people
Sadly this is often the case, yeah
No not camping anywhere
Would I camp in a noted big foot hot spot. No, respect big foots property!
No I wouldn't
Can't blame you!
Just another story teller
If ur out there to hunt for Sasquatch u better stay home 😅😅
If he’s real and all the people that have looked for him that has witnessed him someone would’ve caught him on video by now.n
Patterson Gimlin.
i would cause i know there is no bigfoot lol

I would never enter the woods without a firearm weapon. .357 mag 44 mag
Yes I would go!! I'm 72 nothing to lose. Come and get me and give me a camera, food and water. You pay , I'll Play. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🪖🪖👮👮🚓🚓
