Hugh shares his firsthand encounter with Sasquatch in the dense forests near the Oregon-Washington border. As an amateur rock hound, Hugh's day took a thrilling turn from mining for geodes and crystals to spotting the elusive Sasquatch during a solo trip. Detailed accounts follow of his multiple encounters and evidence collection, including nightmarish hikes, unnerving vocalizations, and stunning discoveries of upside-down trees and bizarre tree bends. Hugh also discusses his plans to set up a YouTube channel dedicated to sharing his compelling footage and further research. Join this extraordinary journey into the heart of Sasquatch territory as Hugh reveals some of the most convincing evidence yet. Stay tuned for updates as he continues his investigation.

on with the show. Yeah, Hugh, Hugh, feel free to

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

15
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:47.439
don't mind.

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

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

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

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

20
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:07.200
opened my mind to.

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

22
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:13.000
some I've seen.

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

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

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

26
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:24.560
game cameras and.

27
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:25.640
Blah blah blah.

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

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

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

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

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

33
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.280
photographs of their faces.

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

35
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.000
this legit, you know.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

60
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:13.919
to see if I can find.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

80
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.040
see mountains and rivers and you can see.

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

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

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

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

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

86
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:42.240
that's funny.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

111
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:10.920
my cell phone nothing but rocks.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

126
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:51.839
trying to get.

127
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:52.800
That rock out.

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

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

130
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:58.240
a camera on.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

155
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:15.800
But then I found it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

168
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.279
but it's footage.

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

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

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

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

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

174
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:18.320
It's just they.

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

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

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

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

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

180
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:30.919
it'll be.

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

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

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

184
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:40.639
there like that.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

207
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:50.399
knew I was filming.

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

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

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

211
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.120
knew I knew it knew that.

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

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

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

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

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

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

218
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:24.240
where I was at.

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

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

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

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

223
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:37.720
had to go.

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

225
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.200
that's the story.

226
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:46.559
So are you still there? Yeah?

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

228
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:51.960
I got questions for you.

229
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:53.840
So sure.

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

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

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

233
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:05.960
Is it possible to see it?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

255
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:33.440
So that's the problem.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

266
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:09.080
you can access, you can log into, you can go

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

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

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

270
00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:20.840
I just bought a laptop.

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

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

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

274
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:34.440
So I just bought this laptop.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

282
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:01.080
SaaS squatch hunting.

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

284
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:21.240
And all.

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

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

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

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

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

290
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:41.320
down tree?

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

292
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:46.399
this happened.

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

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

295
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:54.360
roughly where it is.

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

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

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

299
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.679
that that could be that would be absolutely incredible that

300
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:08.320
just I know.

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

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

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

304
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:23.159
was blown.

305
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:24.720
Away by the amount of berries.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

332
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:53.160
River where you can just.

333
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:55.480
Dig and dig and dig, and you can.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

358
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:20.119
source right there.

359
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:21.960
And then they got the clams.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

376
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:19.839
out there.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

388
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.960
Because I am confident that I.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

407
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:13.240
The woods and a tent and doing a.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

428
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:25.119
I'm finding them.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

438
00:23:58.440 --> 00:23:58.920
Cool guy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

447
00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:21.960
agreed to take him out.

448
00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:22.440
On a journey.

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

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

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

452
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:37.119
it was probably.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

461
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:09.839
And get cut down.

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

463
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:15.119
subject as really anybody could.

464
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:15.839
Ever claim to be.

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

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

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

468
00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:29.640
because hunting.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

482
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:10.079
by hunters.

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

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

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

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

487
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:26.960
Was just starting to pop off.

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

489
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:32.559
of freaking out, and the.

490
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:33.640
Geologist is with me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

500
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:00.920
are cameras.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

524
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:17.599
this big old pine cone. Right.

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

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

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

528
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:28.400
this is this is not a tree that is native

529
00:28:28.440 --> 00:28:29.039
to this area.

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

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

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

533
00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:39.640
structure right above.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

544
00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:10.039
mouth just.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

561
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:19.480
have been in a bad way.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

575
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:08.839
Acre of forest.

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

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

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

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

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

581
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:31.960
And I'm finding.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

591
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:04.839
right now?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

601
00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:39.799
I would look into that.

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

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

604
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:48.079
recorded in like video format?

605
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:48.839
Uh?

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

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

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

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

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

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

612
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:07.319
I need to learn how to do.

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

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

615
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:14.119
in the.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

648
00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:18.800
I cleared it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

658
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:44.199
beaten path.

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

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

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

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

663
00:35:56.320 --> 00:35:57.599
And so anyway, I cut.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

684
00:36:58.639 --> 00:36:59.599
of a sudden my son.

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

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

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

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

689
00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:14.920
intentionally stuck in the mud.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

705
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:03.400
and stuck it in the mud.

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

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

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

709
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:14.960
It was perfectly placed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

754
00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:46.440
more stuff about experiences?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

763
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:15.880
just just the day.

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

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

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

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

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

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

770
00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:37.480
coolest nine.

771
00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:38.239
Year old on Earth.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

780
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:02.320
He just like whatever.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

792
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:45.320
You know.

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

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

795
00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:52.719
the day.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

809
00:43:38.639 --> 00:43:40.039
recent little thing that happened.

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

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

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

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

814
00:43:55.599 --> 00:43:58.760
totally different area because I studied some maps and I

815
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:00.119
saw that this might be.

816
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:02.639
A potential way to get in there, and it was.

817
00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:05.639
I had to go under a few gates and I

818
00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:08.639
had to ride my bike a good eight miles or

819
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:09.400
whatever it was.

820
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:16.000
But it's an e bike, says not. And I have cameras.

821
00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:18.480
Set up on my handlebar, and I have cameras on

822
00:44:18.559 --> 00:44:21.880
like my helmet and cameras all over the place, and

823
00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:26.079
so I forget what camera for sure captured this what happened,

824
00:44:26.119 --> 00:44:28.760
but it might be on two cameras actually.

825
00:44:28.960 --> 00:44:32.840
So I'm getting into the valley and I'm super super

826
00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:33.760
excited because.

827
00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:35.840
I'm like, Okay, I'm actually in the valley. I don't

828
00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:40.360
know exactly where. I hadn't triangulated, you know, precisely where

829
00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:42.719
I was, but I knew I was in the valley,

830
00:44:43.320 --> 00:44:46.519
and I'm coming down this road and I'm just getting

831
00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:49.679
this really like like I'm excited, but I'm also kind

832
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:52.039
of like nervous at the same time, and I'm like

833
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:57.119
really starting to feel like I'm invading onto somebody's private

834
00:44:57.159 --> 00:45:01.039
property or something. And so I'm going flow and I'm

835
00:45:01.920 --> 00:45:05.199
just uneasy. I feel like eyeballs are on me, and

836
00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:08.039
all of a sudden, boom, it's like I just ran

837
00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:11.119
into a brick wall on my bike. I'm on the ground,

838
00:45:11.880 --> 00:45:16.639
laying there like what just happened? Like it made no sense.

839
00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:20.360
You know, I wasn't going very fast, so I wasn't

840
00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:23.280
liking too much pain. I mean, my leg was bleeding

841
00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:27.039
from the gravel. But it was just so crazy.

842
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:29.960
Big for society. Who will be right back after these messages?

843
00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:49.840
And I do have the footage of that which shoes

844
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:54.119
me just gradually, calmly riding a bike and all of

845
00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:55.360
a sudden, boom, I wreck.

846
00:45:55.800 --> 00:46:00.719
I mean, it made no sense. And uh at this point,

847
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:02.159
you know, I wasn't.

848
00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:04.960
Aware of how much stuff is out there that talk

849
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:09.239
about how they can cloak and make themselves invisible.

850
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:11.039
I really don't know. I don't know what to make

851
00:46:11.079 --> 00:46:13.079
of it. It was just really weird.

852
00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:13.719
And then.

853
00:46:16.119 --> 00:46:17.800
I get up get on my bike.

854
00:46:18.079 --> 00:46:21.960
You know, I'm confused over what just happened, Like how

855
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:23.639
did I just wreck? You know?

856
00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:28.039
But I couldn't make any sense of it. But bikes crash,

857
00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:30.519
you know, who knows? And so I get on my

858
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:32.360
bike and I'm riding up and I get up into

859
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:33.119
an area and I.

860
00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:38.280
Do some investigating up in this area, and I what

861
00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:42.559
I believe is the lookout point. Are you familiar with

862
00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:44.159
like God standings work at all?

863
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:46.639
Yes? Okay?

864
00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:49.280
So are you familiar with the term he uses of

865
00:46:49.360 --> 00:46:53.280
a day watcher? Yeah? I am, yep, Okay, So I'm

866
00:46:53.360 --> 00:46:57.079
pretty sure I find a day watcher.

867
00:46:57.039 --> 00:47:00.880
Spot, sorry, can you define it? Are people that might

868
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:01.719
not be though.

869
00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:05.960
God Standing talks about what he's discovered a lot is

870
00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:09.039
what he calls gay watchers, and those are sort of

871
00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:13.440
like a lookout point for the tribe of Sasquatches that

872
00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:18.039
finds a good, I don't know, viewpoint, good vantage point,

873
00:47:18.119 --> 00:47:21.960
and they it's watched all day long for threats or

874
00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:25.800
people or predators that might be moving in.

875
00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:25.920
To their area.

876
00:47:26.920 --> 00:47:31.760
And uh this, So after I got into the valley

877
00:47:32.599 --> 00:47:35.599
and I parked my bike, I put my kickstand up

878
00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:37.559
and I parked my bike, and I left the camera

879
00:47:37.639 --> 00:47:40.320
rolling the whole time while I was gone, just to

880
00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:43.599
film whatever might come sneaking up the road behind me

881
00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:47.599
or whatever. And I climb up, and I'm I'm always

882
00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:49.800
doing a lot of climbing. I go deep, deep into

883
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:54.280
the woods, and I'm I climb through stuff that hunters

884
00:47:54.320 --> 00:47:58.079
don't go through, you know, the pretty miserable brush and

885
00:47:58.280 --> 00:48:02.800
some really steep, nasty crap is basically what I'm always in.

886
00:48:04.039 --> 00:48:05.960
But I get up to this little viewpoint and I

887
00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:10.519
could see where I mean, spot after spot had been

888
00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:13.559
betted down and betted down, and betted down and betted.

889
00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:19.760
Like all over that place, and there were specs, you know.

890
00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:26.599
Big old, big old herds, and this type of dum

891
00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:31.639
didn't match the bear dung because I'd been finding lots

892
00:48:31.639 --> 00:48:33.719
and lots of bear dung in the.

893
00:48:33.960 --> 00:48:35.039
All over that area.

894
00:48:35.079 --> 00:48:37.599
Everywhere I go up in there that time of year,

895
00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:40.280
you're finding mounds and mounds of bears all.

896
00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:40.800
Over the area.

897
00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:46.679
I'm very familiarized with bear dung, and it's super easy

898
00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:50.760
to spot that time of year because it's just it

899
00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:51.679
looks like berries.

900
00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:53.880
All you see is berry seeds and the bear dum.

901
00:48:54.800 --> 00:48:58.440
And for some reason, this dung up on this weird

902
00:48:58.519 --> 00:49:02.199
lookout place where all the these grass beds.

903
00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:02.920
Have been made from.

904
00:49:03.159 --> 00:49:04.920
I mean, I don't know if people are familiar with

905
00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:09.199
how animals will bed down and make you know, like

906
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:12.079
beds in the grass, and then you can spot them

907
00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:15.199
all the time where an animal has slept or just

908
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:17.840
relaxed for hours upon hours.

909
00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:23.920
And this weird little shelf, this slope that it wasn't

910
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:26.199
like at the very top of the mountain, but it

911
00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:28.639
was a really good vantage.

912
00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:31.400
Point in that valley that you could look down and

913
00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:34.079
you could see in every direction, and you know, just

914
00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:37.360
a really good lookout point and it had you know,

915
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:40.840
eight nine, ten different spots where something had laid in

916
00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:42.199
the grass and bedded it down.

917
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:46.159
And this dung that was all over the hillside just

918
00:49:46.599 --> 00:49:48.000
was so weird to me.

919
00:49:48.159 --> 00:49:53.679
It was almost like a cross between like big dog

920
00:49:54.119 --> 00:49:59.719
birds and human turds, Like, I mean, it wasn't anything

921
00:49:59.800 --> 00:50:05.039
like that there. And I've since found this same done elsewhere,

922
00:50:06.239 --> 00:50:09.920
and so I mean, I don't know. I'm not a scientist,

923
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:13.960
but I believe that it is sasquatch done and so

924
00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:18.199
I look for that when I'm out and about and

925
00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:22.719
so okay, so I find this lookout going in and

926
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:25.159
then I go back to my bike. Well by the

927
00:50:25.199 --> 00:50:27.320
time I get back to my bike, it had been

928
00:50:27.360 --> 00:50:32.159
knocked over. It had fallen over. And I've reviewed the

929
00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:35.000
footage and it did just fall over.

930
00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:37.559
You know which bikes do you know? They do just

931
00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:38.159
fall over.

932
00:50:38.280 --> 00:50:42.239
So I don't know if that was necessarily I crashed

933
00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:45.559
into a cloak sasquatch or not.

934
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:50.119
I don't know if cloak sasquats came over and pushed

935
00:50:50.159 --> 00:50:52.320
my bike over, but it was weird.

936
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:56.840
And then as I'm picking up my bike, and I

937
00:50:57.159 --> 00:50:58.880
wasn't doing any overnight or anything.

938
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:00.320
This was all a one day thing.

939
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:02.440
I had to get back to my truck, so I

940
00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:05.760
was pressed for time, and I noticed that I was

941
00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:09.239
missing a bottle of power aid that should have been

942
00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:11.400
in this little pack on the back of my bike,

943
00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:13.159
you know, And I'm.

944
00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:15.159
Like, well, that's weird. Where'd that go?

945
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:18.039
You know, Like, Okay, it fell out when I crashed.

946
00:51:18.119 --> 00:51:20.599
So I'm going back that way, so I'll pick it

947
00:51:20.679 --> 00:51:23.840
up on the way out. And so I cruised through

948
00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:26.480
and I can't find that power ade anywhere, just gone.

949
00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:30.599
And bear in mind, like there's nobody driving around on

950
00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:33.960
these roads at this time period. These are all gated off.

951
00:51:34.199 --> 00:51:37.280
You can't get out there without a key, and nobody

952
00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:40.400
was up working doing any logging. Nobody was driving in

953
00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:44.519
this area, and so the power aid was nowhere to

954
00:51:44.519 --> 00:51:46.960
be found, which is really weird because any piece of

955
00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:50.079
garbage on that gravel road would have stood out, you know,

956
00:51:50.199 --> 00:51:51.079
like a sort thumb.

957
00:51:52.280 --> 00:51:56.119
And then I drive down back. I'm heading back to

958
00:51:56.239 --> 00:51:56.800
my truck.

959
00:51:56.840 --> 00:51:58.599
But there was a bunch of places I planned on

960
00:51:58.679 --> 00:52:01.960
stopping at on the way out and investigating, and so

961
00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:04.920
I pull into one of them and I go down

962
00:52:04.920 --> 00:52:09.119
this trail and I find this beautiful women hole just

963
00:52:09.119 --> 00:52:17.199
this really amazing, amazing campsite, and uh, like Sasquati say,

964
00:52:18.239 --> 00:52:22.559
just a beautiful spot, and uh, I probe around, do

965
00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:25.840
what I can, And I actually found a big old agate.

966
00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:29.559
That was actually the first time I believe that was

967
00:52:29.599 --> 00:52:33.440
the first time I found one of those agates, giant

968
00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:35.960
agots back in there. That's where the whole aggt hunting

969
00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:38.679
back in there kind of became a thing. And so

970
00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:41.400
I'm going out to leave, and I get back to

971
00:52:41.440 --> 00:52:45.320
my bike and I realized that my bear mash had gone,

972
00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:46.800
and I'm like, what the.

973
00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:50.159
Like, how did my bear get? Where is it? You know?

974
00:52:50.280 --> 00:52:53.880
And so I'm thinking, okay, somehow it came off this

975
00:52:53.920 --> 00:52:57.119
thing and fill off. So I ride my bike back

976
00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:01.880
all through the area where I cried. I read all

977
00:53:01.880 --> 00:53:05.280
the way back up to where I'm below that what

978
00:53:05.400 --> 00:53:10.159
I believe is a gay Watcher point and it's just nowhere.

979
00:53:10.199 --> 00:53:12.239
I can't find the bear mats and I can't find

980
00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:12.840
the power.

981
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:16.159
You know. I still to this.

982
00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:18.519
Day don't know where they went, you know, I mean,

983
00:53:18.559 --> 00:53:21.199
it was really weird. I don't know what the Sasquatch

984
00:53:21.239 --> 00:53:23.119
would do with my bear mace, but.

985
00:53:25.079 --> 00:53:25.519
I don't know.

986
00:53:26.119 --> 00:53:30.559
And so I get out of there, no problems, nothing

987
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:35.280
bad happens. And that was my first experience with entering

988
00:53:36.039 --> 00:53:39.280
the valley. The valley, it's what I call Sasquatch Valley.

989
00:53:41.320 --> 00:53:44.840
You know, it depends on who you talk to. You

990
00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:47.840
There's some people say, oh, guaranteed that sasquatch. Someone else

991
00:53:47.880 --> 00:53:50.679
is gonna say, oh, you know, it slipped off your

992
00:53:50.679 --> 00:53:52.920
bike and fell into the ditch and you just didn't

993
00:53:52.920 --> 00:53:54.119
find it in hun though I.

994
00:53:54.159 --> 00:53:57.360
Can't prove either way, but it was really weird. I

995
00:53:57.400 --> 00:53:59.320
will say that it's.

996
00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:02.639
Very weird, especially how much time I spent looking for

997
00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:04.960
these things to not find either of them.

998
00:54:05.199 --> 00:54:06.519
You know, that's pretty weird.

999
00:54:08.760 --> 00:54:13.960
I don't think it's even possible that they fill off

1000
00:54:14.920 --> 00:54:18.159
and landed in like the ditchline and wouldn't have been visible.

1001
00:54:18.519 --> 00:54:20.559
I did just I would have spotted them.

1002
00:54:21.480 --> 00:54:24.880
It's really weird, and I I do think they were

1003
00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:29.039
picked up by by something. I mean, something with fingers

1004
00:54:29.039 --> 00:54:32.199
and hands that can carry a bottle and carry a

1005
00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:32.880
little canister.

1006
00:54:33.159 --> 00:54:34.679
You know, it's just really weird.

1007
00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:38.800
So the next time I come out into this research area,

1008
00:54:39.480 --> 00:54:42.440
it's uh, I don't know. A couple of weeks later

1009
00:54:43.719 --> 00:54:48.159
and I go back to that beautiful camp site that

1010
00:54:48.280 --> 00:54:53.599
I mentioned earlier, and I go hiking across the river

1011
00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:57.039
and I take this little creek, not little, it's a good.

1012
00:54:56.960 --> 00:54:59.400
Sized creek, I guess small river.

1013
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:05.079
And I start chomping up this river and I'm walking

1014
00:55:05.159 --> 00:55:09.760
right in the middle of the river. Pretty nervous going

1015
00:55:09.760 --> 00:55:12.159
into this area. I know there's a lot of bear

1016
00:55:12.280 --> 00:55:15.400
up there, and so I decided to walk in the

1017
00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:17.039
middle of the river because I've spent a lot of

1018
00:55:17.079 --> 00:55:21.519
time walking in rivers. It's kind of a scale that

1019
00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:24.000
some people have and don't have, Like I'm just really

1020
00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:28.239
good walking over slippery rocks and walking through rivers, and

1021
00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:31.960
so I'm totally comfortable just walking right through the rapids.

1022
00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:35.199
I just have some rivers us on and jump right

1023
00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:36.199
up the middle of the river.

1024
00:55:36.960 --> 00:55:39.360
That way, I feel if a bear or something where

1025
00:55:39.400 --> 00:55:43.719
to rush me, I'm gonna see it, rather than if

1026
00:55:43.760 --> 00:55:46.199
I'm walking on the shoreline of the river, where I'm

1027
00:55:46.599 --> 00:55:49.480
right in the brush, where a bear could easily just

1028
00:55:49.599 --> 00:55:52.480
lunge out of the bushes and I wouldn't have much warning.

1029
00:55:52.920 --> 00:55:55.440
So by walking in the middle of the river, it

1030
00:55:55.559 --> 00:55:58.039
just gives me a little bit more warning of predators

1031
00:55:58.119 --> 00:56:01.280
or anything kind of coming at me, but you do

1032
00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:07.400
sacrifice any skeelthiness. It's hard to be really quiet. You know,

1033
00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:09.960
it's chomping up the middle of a river. But it's

1034
00:56:09.960 --> 00:56:12.440
hard to be quiet period. No matter what you're doing

1035
00:56:12.440 --> 00:56:15.000
in the woods, you're always making noise. It's so hard

1036
00:56:15.039 --> 00:56:19.079
to be quiet in the Pacific Northwest woods. So I'm

1037
00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:22.400
working my way up this river and I'm finding it's

1038
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:26.920
mind blowing aggots all along the way. And then I

1039
00:56:26.920 --> 00:56:29.639
don't know, I'm probably about an hour into walking up

1040
00:56:29.639 --> 00:56:35.480
this river, and I see off to the left an

1041
00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:40.320
upside down tree root, you know, way up.

1042
00:56:40.239 --> 00:56:40.719
In the air.

1043
00:56:40.960 --> 00:56:44.360
And this is a big old log that's probably fifteen

1044
00:56:44.440 --> 00:56:47.679
inches wide, easily fifteen inches.

1045
00:56:47.400 --> 00:56:49.920
Wide, and you know, the root ball up in the air.

1046
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:55.519
And I was just dumbfounded, you know, like, Okay, I

1047
00:56:55.559 --> 00:56:59.760
came out here hoping to find a sasquatch tree break

1048
00:56:59.880 --> 00:57:04.480
or you know, find something, and find an upside down tree.

1049
00:57:04.800 --> 00:57:07.920
You know, it just blew my mind, you know. And

1050
00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:09.920
then I'm staring at it from the river and I

1051
00:57:10.320 --> 00:57:12.639
know exactly what it is, and I'm filming it from

1052
00:57:12.679 --> 00:57:15.559
the river, and so I go over there. I climb

1053
00:57:15.679 --> 00:57:18.079
up this little embankment and I get up into this

1054
00:57:18.360 --> 00:57:21.440
field and there's a bunch of them.

1055
00:57:21.679 --> 00:57:23.719
I mean, I'm filming, and but a lot of.

1056
00:57:23.639 --> 00:57:25.880
Them didn't have roots on them, and a lot of

1057
00:57:25.920 --> 00:57:29.480
them actually had been cut by chainsaws, which you know,

1058
00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:32.639
it's it's to be expected up there, because it's you're talking,

1059
00:57:33.480 --> 00:57:35.960
this whole area has just been logged over and over

1060
00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:36.639
and over again.

1061
00:57:37.280 --> 00:57:39.079
And so I mean, if it's Sathquad it's.

1062
00:57:38.960 --> 00:57:42.599
Walking around picking up logs, more than likely they're going

1063
00:57:42.639 --> 00:57:45.519
to pick one up that has been cut by a

1064
00:57:45.599 --> 00:57:48.639
chainsaw at some point. And so some of these are

1065
00:57:48.679 --> 00:57:53.159
actually pretty tall. I mean, some of these trees sticking

1066
00:57:53.199 --> 00:57:55.880
out of the ground are logs sticking out of the

1067
00:57:55.880 --> 00:57:58.880
ground were I don't know, thirty feet.

1068
00:57:58.639 --> 00:57:59.239
Up in the air.

1069
00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:03.280
Some of them have roots, some of them don't. You know,

1070
00:58:03.400 --> 00:58:07.440
some of them are only eight foot in the air.

1071
00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:08.679
You know, some of.

1072
00:58:08.679 --> 00:58:11.840
Them all different sizes, and some of them aren't sticking

1073
00:58:11.880 --> 00:58:14.920
perfectly straight up. Some of them are kind of angled,

1074
00:58:15.119 --> 00:58:21.360
sticking out different ways. But you know, it was just amazing,

1075
00:58:21.480 --> 00:58:23.960
Like I never thought that I'd be able to go

1076
00:58:24.039 --> 00:58:26.920
back and show some of the naysayers in my life,

1077
00:58:27.320 --> 00:58:31.239
you know, pictures of upside down trees. And so as

1078
00:58:31.239 --> 00:58:34.719
I'm walking through this field and I'm filming all this

1079
00:58:34.840 --> 00:58:39.239
is being filmed, I find this area in the grass

1080
00:58:39.239 --> 00:58:43.079
where something had been bedded down and it seemed recent,

1081
00:58:43.320 --> 00:58:45.920
you know, like it seemed like something could have possibly

1082
00:58:45.960 --> 00:58:49.119
been actually laying there as I came into the field.

1083
00:58:49.159 --> 00:58:51.800
So it made me kind of uneasy.

1084
00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:55.000
And then I'm walking through the field and I'm you know,

1085
00:58:55.159 --> 00:58:59.840
narrating as I'm filing trees, and I walk right in

1086
00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:04.639
to a pile of elk bones. There was an elk skull,

1087
00:59:05.119 --> 00:59:09.320
and you know, elk bones. It could be dear, but

1088
00:59:09.360 --> 00:59:11.880
it just seemed like a bigger skull. If it was

1089
00:59:11.920 --> 00:59:14.320
a deer, it was a pretty good sized deer, but

1090
00:59:14.440 --> 00:59:17.639
there wasn't any antlers, so it was probably you know,

1091
00:59:17.679 --> 00:59:22.199
a female deer or elk. But I do believe it

1092
00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:24.400
was an elk by the size of it. And so

1093
00:59:24.519 --> 00:59:27.079
that was kind of scary, you know, kind of you know,

1094
00:59:28.320 --> 00:59:29.880
so I didn't spend a lot of time there. I

1095
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:33.400
made the videos. I saw what I saw, and I

1096
00:59:33.440 --> 00:59:36.880
got out of there and went back to the river.

1097
00:59:37.000 --> 00:59:39.880
I just, I don't know, I felt more safe walking

1098
00:59:39.960 --> 00:59:42.960
up the river than being off in the bush in

1099
00:59:43.000 --> 00:59:44.280
that weird little field.

1100
00:59:45.480 --> 00:59:47.920
And so I went up and down the river.

1101
00:59:47.800 --> 00:59:51.079
That day and got a big old backpack of rocks

1102
00:59:51.119 --> 00:59:51.800
out of there.

1103
00:59:52.280 --> 00:59:55.119
Big for society. Who would be right back after these messages.

1104
01:00:11.079 --> 01:00:17.199
And I've been back to that river many times then, oh,

1105
01:00:17.400 --> 01:00:20.159
a couple of weeks ago, a couple of months ago.

1106
01:00:20.239 --> 01:00:25.039
Now I went back to that same river, and I'm

1107
01:00:25.079 --> 01:00:28.239
pretty sure I was by myself on this trip.

1108
01:00:28.280 --> 01:00:31.239
I'm usually by myself, but I've brought people out. Yeah, no,

1109
01:00:31.320 --> 01:00:33.000
I was. I was by myself for sure.

1110
01:00:33.920 --> 01:00:38.239
And I was hiking up the river, you know, retracing

1111
01:00:38.320 --> 01:00:42.239
a lot of the same footsteps of I've already been across,

1112
01:00:42.800 --> 01:00:46.400
kind of rock hunting, kind of sasquatch hunting, just just

1113
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:50.360
trying to be proactive in this weird endeavor that i've

1114
01:00:51.639 --> 01:00:56.360
you know, taken up. And I passed my area where

1115
01:00:56.360 --> 01:00:59.719
the upside down trees are, and I was planning on

1116
01:01:00.679 --> 01:01:02.719
come because I go up the river then I walk

1117
01:01:02.800 --> 01:01:05.639
back down the river, so I see everything twice the

1118
01:01:05.639 --> 01:01:07.719
way I do this. Now, I was gonna stop at

1119
01:01:07.760 --> 01:01:11.639
the upside on trees and video them on the way back,

1120
01:01:11.719 --> 01:01:14.760
so I just skipped right past them, and then I

1121
01:01:14.800 --> 01:01:17.880
get to this area where there's the beginning phases of

1122
01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:21.880
a beaver dam being built, you know, and I thought, well,

1123
01:01:21.880 --> 01:01:23.880
how cool is this. I could actually get some game

1124
01:01:23.920 --> 01:01:28.119
camera set up here and actually get you know, piece

1125
01:01:28.199 --> 01:01:30.960
by piece by pieces, because beaver dams get huge.

1126
01:01:31.079 --> 01:01:34.840
I found beaver dams in the woods that were you know.

1127
01:01:34.960 --> 01:01:38.920
Eight feet tall, you know, huge, huge, damn Sometimes they

1128
01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:40.159
don't always get that big.

1129
01:01:40.159 --> 01:01:43.880
But I was looking at the topography, you know.

1130
01:01:43.880 --> 01:01:46.079
The way the river and the way the valleys shaped,

1131
01:01:46.119 --> 01:01:50.320
and this beaver dam could potentially become one of those monsters.

1132
01:01:51.239 --> 01:01:53.079
And so I thought, well, that'd be really cool.

1133
01:01:53.079 --> 01:01:56.320
I'm going to get some game camera set up and.

1134
01:01:55.599 --> 01:01:57.719
Get a record of how they build these things, and

1135
01:01:58.079 --> 01:01:59.559
you know, make a video about it.

1136
01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:04.320
Because everything I'm doing is supposed to become tough for

1137
01:02:04.440 --> 01:02:07.840
my channel that doesn't exist that I hope to get

1138
01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:12.119
built someday. And so I continue upstream and I'm seeing

1139
01:02:12.400 --> 01:02:15.519
all these areas that used to be just covered with

1140
01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:18.559
foliage in the beaver has eaten all the trees, chewed

1141
01:02:18.559 --> 01:02:21.360
them all down, removed them, and he's building the dam

1142
01:02:21.440 --> 01:02:24.920
with them. And then all of a sudden, off to

1143
01:02:24.960 --> 01:02:29.639
my left again more upside down trees. Because I'd walked

1144
01:02:29.719 --> 01:02:32.400
right past these things several times. You couldn't see them

1145
01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:36.559
because they were all blocked by the green foliage off

1146
01:02:36.559 --> 01:02:37.119
the shoreline.

1147
01:02:37.159 --> 01:02:38.639
The beaver had cleared it all away.

1148
01:02:39.280 --> 01:02:43.079
And so here's another sight of upside down trees, you know,

1149
01:02:43.159 --> 01:02:47.199
and it's just it's it was awesome. But these these

1150
01:02:47.280 --> 01:02:52.559
ones actually were smaller. There wasn't any like big, big,

1151
01:02:52.679 --> 01:02:56.960
huge ones. But I mean they're still pretty impressive there.

1152
01:02:57.159 --> 01:03:01.639
I don't know, fifteen feet in the air, I would say, uh,

1153
01:03:04.039 --> 01:03:06.239
eight to ten inch logs.

1154
01:03:06.320 --> 01:03:09.599
With roots on it, you know, stabbed into this ground.

1155
01:03:09.639 --> 01:03:13.039
I mean, to dig in this dirt would be so

1156
01:03:13.239 --> 01:03:17.760
hard because it's it's just river rock, like compressed river

1157
01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:22.000
rock is all it is. It's so digging or you know,

1158
01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:26.599
stabbing a log into that that ground. I mean, it

1159
01:03:26.719 --> 01:03:30.199
just doesn't even seem possible, even like because.

1160
01:03:29.960 --> 01:03:32.519
I have post hole diggers for the work I do.

1161
01:03:32.760 --> 01:03:35.960
You know, when people hire me to build a fence

1162
01:03:36.119 --> 01:03:39.519
or something like that, you break out a posthole digger,

1163
01:03:40.199 --> 01:03:44.320
and if there's rocks, it's so hard to dig into.

1164
01:03:44.440 --> 01:03:46.880
I mean, your your bit just bounces off of them,

1165
01:03:46.880 --> 01:03:50.719
and it just it's a nightmare. Your wrists just get

1166
01:03:51.320 --> 01:03:53.559
hammered trying to control it. You know.

1167
01:03:54.079 --> 01:03:55.840
Postal diggers are a nightmare. Period.

1168
01:03:55.920 --> 01:03:59.199
I've always hated running postal diggers, but I just don't

1169
01:03:59.239 --> 01:04:03.719
even understand how anything could do this, could drive these

1170
01:04:03.800 --> 01:04:07.360
logs into this river rock like they do. But I

1171
01:04:07.440 --> 01:04:10.920
went over into this grassy area and there was some

1172
01:04:10.960 --> 01:04:12.960
more upside down trees over there. I think there was

1173
01:04:13.039 --> 01:04:17.199
like maybe five or six in this area. They all

1174
01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:21.360
seemed a little bit older than the first the main

1175
01:04:21.480 --> 01:04:25.079
upside down tree area. In fact, there was one that

1176
01:04:25.159 --> 01:04:28.039
I went up to and it was old and it

1177
01:04:28.159 --> 01:04:29.800
was a small upside down tree.

1178
01:04:29.800 --> 01:04:32.719
I mean, it was like maybe up to my chest,

1179
01:04:33.079 --> 01:04:35.880
but it was a rootball up to my chest.

1180
01:04:36.119 --> 01:04:39.239
And it wasn't a big fat log or anything, you know,

1181
01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:43.639
it was five inches or whatever. And I went up

1182
01:04:43.679 --> 01:04:46.320
and just barely kind of touched this thing, and it

1183
01:04:46.400 --> 01:04:48.840
broke and fell over, and it was just.

1184
01:04:48.920 --> 01:04:50.519
Old, old decayds.

1185
01:04:50.679 --> 01:04:54.760
I mean that one possibly's been there for twenty years.

1186
01:04:54.800 --> 01:04:57.119
I don't know, I have no clue, but old.

1187
01:04:57.559 --> 01:04:59.599
And then I got down on my knees and dug

1188
01:04:59.639 --> 01:05:04.679
in and looked at the like where the log is

1189
01:05:04.760 --> 01:05:08.840
actually in the earth, and it was all very old.

1190
01:05:08.960 --> 01:05:13.519
You could see dry rot had set in, and.

1191
01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:13.000
It'd been there.

1192
01:05:13.039 --> 01:05:14.880
They've been there a long time, some of them look

1193
01:05:15.039 --> 01:05:18.559
obviously they've been there longer than others. But what I think,

1194
01:05:19.519 --> 01:05:23.079
you know, and totally just speculate on this, I think

1195
01:05:23.119 --> 01:05:26.000
that they they have some kind of meaning, like maybe

1196
01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:30.519
every now and then the new I don't know, alpha

1197
01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:36.000
that's in charge, or something goes down there and drives

1198
01:05:36.079 --> 01:05:38.920
something into the ground to signify.

1199
01:05:39.119 --> 01:05:42.440
I don't know they have meaning. I don't know for sure.

1200
01:05:43.199 --> 01:05:46.880
It can't just be I'm bored, so I'm gonna just

1201
01:05:47.679 --> 01:05:50.639
pick a log in the ground like that doesn't.

1202
01:05:50.480 --> 01:05:51.320
Really make sense.

1203
01:05:51.360 --> 01:05:54.920
I do think there's there's some kind of message that

1204
01:05:55.519 --> 01:05:57.480
has to do with why they do this.

1205
01:05:58.400 --> 01:06:01.440
Oh, I would agree definitely, yeah, that it has to be.

1206
01:06:01.519 --> 01:06:05.199
It's not just you know whatever. But man, you have

1207
01:06:05.360 --> 01:06:08.760
got some wild, wild stuff going on in your area.

1208
01:06:08.920 --> 01:06:11.559
It is just crazy.

1209
01:06:11.679 --> 01:06:16.760
Hugh, Yeah, man, it's it's been pretty exciting. I mean

1210
01:06:16.840 --> 01:06:24.679
it's and what's crazy is this actual sasquatch investigation. It

1211
01:06:24.719 --> 01:06:27.760
was a day before Father's Day that I had my sighting.

1212
01:06:28.920 --> 01:06:32.079
So I'm not a math expert. How many months ago

1213
01:06:32.119 --> 01:06:34.599
had that been. Do you know of the top of

1214
01:06:34.599 --> 01:06:36.199
your head, I can't even think what the.

1215
01:06:36.639 --> 01:06:40.679
Fathers Day June. Let's see, I think it was June

1216
01:06:44.559 --> 01:06:47.119
June sixteenth, So yeah, that's not long dude.

1217
01:06:47.880 --> 01:06:50.840
Yeah, wow, that was this Father's Day is when I

1218
01:06:50.880 --> 01:06:52.960
had it was a day before. It was a Saturday.

1219
01:06:53.760 --> 01:06:56.119
And so, I mean, I haven't been out this very long,

1220
01:06:56.360 --> 01:06:59.920
and and I look at what I've already compiled my

1221
01:07:00.119 --> 01:07:03.199
evidence wise, and then I go and I watch people's

1222
01:07:03.280 --> 01:07:05.880
janneals that have been around for years and years and years,

1223
01:07:05.880 --> 01:07:08.960
and like, I mean, I'm not trying to to my

1224
01:07:09.000 --> 01:07:11.440
own horn or whatever, but it's like, dude, in a

1225
01:07:11.480 --> 01:07:14.880
few months, I've I've uncovered better evidence than what people

1226
01:07:14.960 --> 01:07:17.960
have been finding, you know, many many.

1227
01:07:17.800 --> 01:07:23.440
Years of doing the research, and its area like everywhere

1228
01:07:23.480 --> 01:07:27.480
I go, everywhere I go, I find da squat stuff.

1229
01:07:28.400 --> 01:07:32.000
Like about a month ago, I can't remember, I was

1230
01:07:32.079 --> 01:07:36.920
visiting my parents and talking about the stuff I do

1231
01:07:37.159 --> 01:07:40.719
because my parents live in the area of where I researched.

1232
01:07:41.239 --> 01:07:43.719
I mean there, I wouldn't say in the area, but

1233
01:07:43.840 --> 01:07:46.639
it's it's not that far away, you know, from where

1234
01:07:46.679 --> 01:07:51.880
they live. So when I had the sighting, when I

1235
01:07:51.960 --> 01:07:54.559
you know, my very first sighting about the day before

1236
01:07:54.559 --> 01:07:58.599
Father's Day, I went right to my parents' house after

1237
01:07:58.639 --> 01:08:00.960
the sighting to have dinner. That's where my wife and

1238
01:08:01.039 --> 01:08:03.440
kids were at, and that was what I was scheduled

1239
01:08:03.440 --> 01:08:07.519
to do, and I'm telling them.

1240
01:08:07.599 --> 01:08:08.920
You know, at first, I wasn't even going.

1241
01:08:08.920 --> 01:08:14.800
To tell anybody, because I've had some weird stuff happening.

1242
01:08:15.039 --> 01:08:20.039
I've had UFOs, I've had paranormal things happened to me

1243
01:08:20.119 --> 01:08:24.079
throughout my life, and nobody believes you, you know, nobody

1244
01:08:24.119 --> 01:08:26.479
believes you when you tell them about these things. And

1245
01:08:26.560 --> 01:08:28.920
so I was really debating whether or not I was

1246
01:08:28.960 --> 01:08:31.920
even going to tell them about the Sasquatch, you know.

1247
01:08:32.399 --> 01:08:35.039
Didn't want to have people roll their eyes.

1248
01:08:35.119 --> 01:08:38.239
And then I really hate it when people pretend to

1249
01:08:38.279 --> 01:08:42.279
believe you just to talk about you behind your back,

1250
01:08:42.600 --> 01:08:44.199
you know, like, oh.

1251
01:08:44.039 --> 01:08:45.000
He's crazy, you know.

1252
01:08:45.279 --> 01:08:48.840
And so the whole drive home, I was debating whether

1253
01:08:48.880 --> 01:08:50.119
I was going to tell anybody or not.

1254
01:08:50.800 --> 01:08:52.520
And then I get to my parents' house and.

1255
01:08:54.479 --> 01:08:57.760
You know, my wife probably saw a weird look on

1256
01:08:57.840 --> 01:08:59.600
my face or something, you know, and she's like, what's

1257
01:08:59.640 --> 01:09:03.159
going on and washing my hands, and I'm all filthy

1258
01:09:03.199 --> 01:09:07.039
dirty because I've been breaking rocks all day, and so

1259
01:09:07.079 --> 01:09:10.199
I just tell it, like, and what's crazy about me

1260
01:09:10.279 --> 01:09:13.920
seeing the sasquatches. The night before I was talking to

1261
01:09:13.960 --> 01:09:18.640
my parents about some of the videos, you know, of

1262
01:09:19.039 --> 01:09:23.399
the close ups that Todd's Standing provided from the faces

1263
01:09:23.439 --> 01:09:25.520
of the sasquatches, because a lot of people don't know

1264
01:09:25.560 --> 01:09:27.800
that those exist, whether you want to believe they're real

1265
01:09:27.920 --> 01:09:30.159
or not. But a lot of people have never even

1266
01:09:30.239 --> 01:09:35.920
seen Todd's videos. He's not really very well known when

1267
01:09:36.000 --> 01:09:40.239
you compare his footage to like the Patterson Gimblet you know,

1268
01:09:40.640 --> 01:09:44.880
like everybody's seen those Patterson Gimblet footage, but not a

1269
01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:46.119
lot of people have seen.

1270
01:09:45.920 --> 01:09:47.680
Todd Standing footage.

1271
01:09:48.039 --> 01:09:50.479
And so it's just crazy because the night before I

1272
01:09:50.520 --> 01:09:53.279
went up to do the rock hounting, I was talking

1273
01:09:53.319 --> 01:09:57.920
about Todd's videos in about the sasquatch faces. And then

1274
01:09:58.000 --> 01:10:00.119
I go up the next day and I'm rock hounting

1275
01:10:00.119 --> 01:10:02.319
and I see a sasquat. So then when I come

1276
01:10:02.359 --> 01:10:05.520
back home, you know, it was just really weird to

1277
01:10:05.560 --> 01:10:08.159
be coming back and being like, yeah, I saw a

1278
01:10:08.239 --> 01:10:11.359
sasquatch today, you know, after just the night before talking

1279
01:10:11.399 --> 01:10:11.680
about it.

1280
01:10:12.199 --> 01:10:13.720
The whole thing is just really weird.

1281
01:10:14.239 --> 01:10:18.479
And so as I'm telling everybody about the Sasquatch that

1282
01:10:18.560 --> 01:10:22.760
I saw my dad, who's never had anything paranormal happen

1283
01:10:22.840 --> 01:10:25.840
to him in his life. He doesn't believe in anything.

1284
01:10:26.079 --> 01:10:29.319
You know, everybody's lying, everybody's a fraud or whatever.

1285
01:10:29.359 --> 01:10:32.119
And he goes, oh, yeah, come to think.

1286
01:10:31.960 --> 01:10:35.000
Of it, Oh, a couple of years ago, I was

1287
01:10:35.119 --> 01:10:38.199
up on such and such road up in the mountains,

1288
01:10:39.000 --> 01:10:42.479
and I saw human footprints in the snow.

1289
01:10:43.960 --> 01:10:44.560
Oh wow, you know.

1290
01:10:44.600 --> 01:10:47.479
And I'm yeah, and I'm like, Dad, how have you

1291
01:10:47.600 --> 01:10:51.000
never mentioned this to any of us? Oh? Well, I

1292
01:10:51.119 --> 01:10:54.760
just I just figured it was uh, just a hunter

1293
01:10:55.680 --> 01:10:59.640
and my dad a hunter walking around in the middle

1294
01:10:59.640 --> 01:11:01.159
of the wind there in bare.

1295
01:11:00.960 --> 01:11:03.720
Feet in the snow. Yeah wow. I don't know.

1296
01:11:03.800 --> 01:11:07.199
I thought maybe he was just camping and maybe just

1297
01:11:07.319 --> 01:11:08.319
left his camp to.

1298
01:11:08.279 --> 01:11:13.000
Go take a piss or something like that. He goes,

1299
01:11:13.079 --> 01:11:14.199
but they weren't huge.

1300
01:11:14.279 --> 01:11:18.319
They weren't, you know, size eighteen's, you know. He said

1301
01:11:18.359 --> 01:11:21.960
that the footprints were comparable to his size, you know.

1302
01:11:22.000 --> 01:11:23.800
And I'm and that's why I'm like, well, Dad, there

1303
01:11:23.800 --> 01:11:28.520
are different size you know, footprints for creatures.

1304
01:11:28.520 --> 01:11:31.159
They got to grow, you know, in order to get big.

1305
01:11:31.279 --> 01:11:34.680
So anyway, so that was just kind of crazy, you

1306
01:11:34.680 --> 01:11:37.560
know that my dad mentioned the you know, finding human

1307
01:11:37.600 --> 01:11:41.479
footprints in the snow, and uh, that was on a

1308
01:11:41.520 --> 01:11:45.439
different mountain than my research area. But it's is I

1309
01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:48.119
know how to get to the area that he where

1310
01:11:48.119 --> 01:11:51.239
he found the footprints, and I actually have gone through

1311
01:11:51.319 --> 01:11:54.479
that area. I spent the day up there and I

1312
01:11:54.600 --> 01:11:59.760
found phenomenal tree breaks, and then I went into the forest.

1313
01:11:59.359 --> 01:12:02.640
Where those three breaks we're at with my dog.

1314
01:12:03.000 --> 01:12:07.319
I have a three legged dogs. She lost her rear

1315
01:12:07.399 --> 01:12:10.159
leg when she got ran over. And he goes out

1316
01:12:10.159 --> 01:12:12.520
a lot with me and does a lot of researching

1317
01:12:12.600 --> 01:12:14.920
with me. But I'm limited on what I can do

1318
01:12:14.960 --> 01:12:17.640
with her because if he hurts one of her.

1319
01:12:17.600 --> 01:12:20.359
Legs, it's a big problem. I'd have to carry her.

1320
01:12:20.800 --> 01:12:23.319
But anyway, me and in her we go into the

1321
01:12:23.359 --> 01:12:27.840
woods underneath these tree breaks, and I find a pile

1322
01:12:27.880 --> 01:12:30.399
of bones in there, just like the pile of bones

1323
01:12:30.439 --> 01:12:34.319
that I found it the upside down tree place, you know,

1324
01:12:34.640 --> 01:12:39.800
and it's it's just kind of creepy because typically bones

1325
01:12:39.880 --> 01:12:43.359
kind of get scattered around, you know, just by animals,

1326
01:12:43.359 --> 01:12:47.960
by nature, you know, when you find them piled in

1327
01:12:48.039 --> 01:12:48.800
the woods.

1328
01:12:48.680 --> 01:12:50.079
It's just kind of creepy.

1329
01:12:50.199 --> 01:12:53.479
It almost seems like they're put there intentionally, and they're

1330
01:12:53.800 --> 01:12:56.000
they're not always, I mean, they just kind of end

1331
01:12:56.119 --> 01:12:59.880
up together when the animal decomposes. But it was just,

1332
01:13:00.520 --> 01:13:04.079
you know, I'm following some tree breaks, you know, into

1333
01:13:04.119 --> 01:13:07.880
the woods in the area nearby where my dad found

1334
01:13:07.880 --> 01:13:11.439
the footprints and just find a pile of bones, you know.

1335
01:13:12.319 --> 01:13:15.439
And so that's really all I know about that area

1336
01:13:15.479 --> 01:13:19.239
where my dad found the footprints. That's a whole nother

1337
01:13:20.039 --> 01:13:22.720
wilderness that I would love to spend more time in

1338
01:13:23.079 --> 01:13:24.199
and do more research in.

1339
01:13:24.279 --> 01:13:25.479
I just haven't.

1340
01:13:26.239 --> 01:13:28.640
But so anyway, and I want to be talking about

1341
01:13:28.640 --> 01:13:32.159
my dad. So I'm at my parents' house and I'm

1342
01:13:32.199 --> 01:13:36.760
talking about my findings and what I'm doing, and my

1343
01:13:36.880 --> 01:13:42.079
dad mentions this area that you can drive into, because.

1344
01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:42.600
That's a big deal.

1345
01:13:42.680 --> 01:13:45.880
Like a lot of these areas that I'm researching, you

1346
01:13:45.960 --> 01:13:48.920
can't drive into them. You have to have keys for

1347
01:13:49.000 --> 01:13:52.520
these gates. And so it's kind of cool when you

1348
01:13:52.520 --> 01:13:55.319
can go to these spots and actually drive through them

1349
01:13:55.359 --> 01:13:58.279
in your vehicle. And so my dad, you know, used

1350
01:13:58.319 --> 01:14:00.600
to work for a logging come and he's up in

1351
01:14:00.600 --> 01:14:02.319
that area and.

1352
01:14:02.760 --> 01:14:03.760
Driving logging truck.

1353
01:14:04.399 --> 01:14:07.079
He was a truck driver and so he knows a

1354
01:14:07.079 --> 01:14:09.520
lot of cool spots up there, and he wanted to

1355
01:14:09.560 --> 01:14:10.479
show me this area.

1356
01:14:11.239 --> 01:14:12.399
So we drive out there.

1357
01:14:12.439 --> 01:14:17.439
It was my dad, my wife, and me. I think, yeah,

1358
01:14:17.479 --> 01:14:19.399
it was just the three of us that day. And

1359
01:14:19.760 --> 01:14:22.800
he takes me up through this wilderness and we're driving

1360
01:14:22.880 --> 01:14:27.159
around all day and going down random roads, and we

1361
01:14:27.319 --> 01:14:30.239
go to this really amazing area that puts you right

1362
01:14:30.319 --> 01:14:33.800
on this beach at the Clumbia River. Real private area

1363
01:14:33.920 --> 01:14:38.359
right right on the beach, big huge like palisade cliffs

1364
01:14:38.359 --> 01:14:38.960
are right there.

1365
01:14:39.119 --> 01:14:40.359
Just an awesome area.

1366
01:14:41.159 --> 01:14:44.560
And I'm checking the sand like crazy for footprints because

1367
01:14:44.560 --> 01:14:47.319
it was really good sand for footprints.

1368
01:14:46.720 --> 01:14:48.119
And I'm not finding anything.

1369
01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:52.000
And I've been all over this wilderness all day looking

1370
01:14:52.039 --> 01:14:55.680
for a tree break, looking for something, couldn't find anything,

1371
01:14:55.880 --> 01:14:57.600
I mean, and I kept saying that it's like God,

1372
01:14:57.640 --> 01:15:02.399
it's so weird, like this area just has no sasquatch

1373
01:15:02.439 --> 01:15:07.359
sign whatsoever anywhere. And then we're driving out and we're

1374
01:15:08.000 --> 01:15:10.199
I don't know, we're pretty far from where we were

1375
01:15:10.199 --> 01:15:12.479
out at the river. We're almost getting back to where

1376
01:15:13.000 --> 01:15:16.600
you know, people live, and I just off to the

1377
01:15:16.680 --> 01:15:19.840
left there's this little side road and there was a

1378
01:15:19.880 --> 01:15:22.159
tree that was kind of arched in a weird way.

1379
01:15:22.720 --> 01:15:25.600
It just kind of caught my eye, and I'm like,

1380
01:15:25.640 --> 01:15:27.760
you know what, I just want to check this road out.

1381
01:15:27.840 --> 01:15:29.000
I'm just curious about.

1382
01:15:28.800 --> 01:15:31.880
Something big for society. Who will be right back?

1383
01:15:31.960 --> 01:15:52.359
After these messages, I turned down this road and instantly,

1384
01:15:53.119 --> 01:15:54.079
like all of.

1385
01:15:54.039 --> 01:15:56.000
Them, even my dad, who I don't know.

1386
01:15:55.960 --> 01:15:59.439
If he's even a believer, you know, despite everything that's happened,

1387
01:16:00.159 --> 01:16:03.520
still probably a doubter, but he pretends to be a

1388
01:16:03.560 --> 01:16:06.319
believer around me. I don't know that he is a believer.

1389
01:16:07.319 --> 01:16:10.159
But my wife, you know, and she I think she's

1390
01:16:10.159 --> 01:16:14.439
a believer now, but she's been a skeptic of a

1391
01:16:14.479 --> 01:16:17.800
lot of stuff I've experienced. Like she pretends to believe it,

1392
01:16:17.880 --> 01:16:20.640
but I think she just doesn't really know what to

1393
01:16:20.720 --> 01:16:23.479
think because people that have never had experiences like this,

1394
01:16:24.960 --> 01:16:28.239
they just don't really even know how to I don't

1395
01:16:28.239 --> 01:16:32.119
know how to even think that this stuff could possibly

1396
01:16:32.199 --> 01:16:37.000
be real. But so we're pulling down the road, I

1397
01:16:37.039 --> 01:16:41.720
got two skeptics really with me, and uh, instantly this

1398
01:16:42.159 --> 01:16:47.800
entire road was arch trees after arch tree after arch

1399
01:16:47.840 --> 01:16:53.399
tree arches across the road. So we're driving underneath these trees.

1400
01:16:53.439 --> 01:16:57.800
And these trees are all about oh about as big

1401
01:16:57.840 --> 01:17:02.560
around as like my forearm, maybe a little thicker, some

1402
01:17:02.680 --> 01:17:06.880
a little smaller. But something had taken every single one

1403
01:17:06.920 --> 01:17:11.239
of these trees, and these are maples and bent them into.

1404
01:17:11.239 --> 01:17:12.920
Arches across the road.

1405
01:17:13.039 --> 01:17:16.159
So as you're driving through, you're going under all these arches,

1406
01:17:16.800 --> 01:17:18.880
and then you look to the right and there would

1407
01:17:18.880 --> 01:17:20.439
be a tree break that had.

1408
01:17:20.279 --> 01:17:23.600
Been bent over and broke this whole road. And this

1409
01:17:23.720 --> 01:17:27.520
road goes for about I don't know, roughly a mile

1410
01:17:27.800 --> 01:17:28.600
in the.

1411
01:17:28.640 --> 01:17:34.039
Entire road was just tree breaks and bends and arches.

1412
01:17:34.199 --> 01:17:37.359
I mean, it's just so weird that there was nothing

1413
01:17:37.399 --> 01:17:39.880
in this area. And then all of a sudden I

1414
01:17:39.920 --> 01:17:42.439
turned down this one road and it's just like a

1415
01:17:42.600 --> 01:17:43.800
Sasquatch playground.

1416
01:17:44.439 --> 01:17:46.560
And a lot of the tree breaks.

1417
01:17:46.359 --> 01:17:51.239
Were old, dried up, old, like multiple years old, and

1418
01:17:51.279 --> 01:17:53.279
then some of them looked like they were so fresh

1419
01:17:53.319 --> 01:17:57.479
they could have happened that day. And then before the

1420
01:17:57.560 --> 01:17:59.680
road ends, I look off to the left and there

1421
01:17:59.760 --> 01:18:02.319
was like a creek probably that comes in you look

1422
01:18:02.399 --> 01:18:06.560
like a canyon. And I get out and I go look,

1423
01:18:06.640 --> 01:18:09.560
and something had taken these trees, and these trees are

1424
01:18:09.640 --> 01:18:15.680
like eighty feet tall, but they're just really skinny, really skinny,

1425
01:18:15.720 --> 01:18:17.319
like beanpole like trees.

1426
01:18:18.119 --> 01:18:20.479
I don't know that they're they're fighting.

1427
01:18:20.159 --> 01:18:22.920
To get light or whatever, so they just stretch out

1428
01:18:22.960 --> 01:18:26.680
like crazy. But something had actually taken three of these

1429
01:18:26.760 --> 01:18:30.760
trees and bent them into each other and made an

1430
01:18:30.960 --> 01:18:34.960
arch where the roots were on each side, and then

1431
01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:39.640
they had been twisted and almost braided into each other

1432
01:18:39.960 --> 01:18:42.520
like and I videoed all this. I have video of

1433
01:18:42.560 --> 01:18:46.000
all this, and it's just this impossible arch where the

1434
01:18:46.079 --> 01:18:50.199
trees are just going up under under I mean, there's

1435
01:18:50.439 --> 01:18:56.439
no way a windstorm, a tornado, or a hurricane. We

1436
01:18:56.520 --> 01:18:58.760
don't get any of those in this area that I'm

1437
01:18:58.800 --> 01:19:01.840
in anyway, but they do get heavy wind, really get

1438
01:19:01.840 --> 01:19:04.119
heavy wind from time to time out there. But there's

1439
01:19:04.159 --> 01:19:09.760
just no way anything could have done this without coordinated,

1440
01:19:10.239 --> 01:19:11.680
intentional fingers.

1441
01:19:11.760 --> 01:19:12.039
You know.

1442
01:19:12.359 --> 01:19:16.359
It's and so that anyway, that was just a really

1443
01:19:16.399 --> 01:19:19.880
interesting thing because it's it's almost like anywhere I go

1444
01:19:20.000 --> 01:19:26.159
up there, I'm gonna find super significant sasquatch evidence. I mean,

1445
01:19:26.359 --> 01:19:30.439
it's just everywhere I go there, it is like some

1446
01:19:30.520 --> 01:19:34.600
of it's more vague than others, but this whole entire area,

1447
01:19:35.039 --> 01:19:39.560
it I don't know if it's one big tribe of

1448
01:19:39.560 --> 01:19:43.680
them or if it's you know, multiple tribes.

1449
01:19:44.079 --> 01:19:46.079
It's it's it's.

1450
01:19:45.880 --> 01:19:50.359
A big area, but it's uh, it's just inundated with it.

1451
01:19:50.680 --> 01:19:53.520
And when I found this, this particular road that I'm

1452
01:19:53.560 --> 01:19:58.800
talking about with all the arches, it seemed like we

1453
01:19:58.800 --> 01:20:03.760
were a good third plus miles away from my main

1454
01:20:04.000 --> 01:20:08.319
research area. And so at that moment, I thought, well,

1455
01:20:08.359 --> 01:20:12.199
this has to be a different tribe of them, because

1456
01:20:12.359 --> 01:20:14.960
these tree breaks are a little different than the ones

1457
01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:18.039
that I'm I'm finding in my area. They just kind

1458
01:20:18.079 --> 01:20:20.079
of had a different style to them.

1459
01:20:20.119 --> 01:20:20.600
In a way.

1460
01:20:22.399 --> 01:20:24.840
But then when I actually pulled up the maps and

1461
01:20:24.960 --> 01:20:30.039
really looked at you know, the layout, the topography and everything,

1462
01:20:31.560 --> 01:20:35.399
it was only about it about ten miles away, you

1463
01:20:35.399 --> 01:20:38.680
know as the crow flies, which would be probably like

1464
01:20:39.239 --> 01:20:42.920
fourteen miles if you were to actually hike it, going

1465
01:20:43.039 --> 01:20:44.960
up and down the canyon walls and.

1466
01:20:45.319 --> 01:20:46.079
Stuff like that.

1467
01:20:46.720 --> 01:20:50.279
So it's not impossible that the same sasquatches are covering

1468
01:20:50.319 --> 01:20:52.359
the same ground.

1469
01:20:52.720 --> 01:20:56.239
But yeah, I don't know how far they.

1470
01:20:57.840 --> 01:21:00.920
You know, would migrate or what they can consider a

1471
01:21:01.680 --> 01:21:03.840
just a stroll through the woods would be.

1472
01:21:04.000 --> 01:21:07.159
Is that twenty miles or two miles? You know, I

1473
01:21:07.159 --> 01:21:07.720
have no idea.

1474
01:21:07.880 --> 01:21:10.119
No, I mean it's it's got to be. I would

1475
01:21:10.119 --> 01:21:13.840
think a ton of miles. But man, Hugh, this, I

1476
01:21:13.840 --> 01:21:18.840
feel like we're probably gonna talk. I would love it

1477
01:21:18.880 --> 01:21:21.600
if you would keep me up to date with what's

1478
01:21:21.680 --> 01:21:22.119
going on.

1479
01:21:22.600 --> 01:21:25.279
Follow up episode might be a really good idea, because

1480
01:21:25.319 --> 01:21:33.319
I currently have I think fifteen game cameras in this area. Yeah,

1481
01:21:33.560 --> 01:21:37.359
and uh, I actually no, it's like eleven I forgot.

1482
01:21:37.359 --> 01:21:38.159
I got a couple of.

1483
01:21:38.119 --> 01:21:39.920
My that's still pretty awesome.

1484
01:21:41.119 --> 01:21:41.920
Yeah, and.

1485
01:21:43.640 --> 01:21:46.520
Yeah, I got some some big plans actually, because it

1486
01:21:46.760 --> 01:21:51.079
seemed to work last time on enticing them into my camp,

1487
01:21:51.720 --> 01:21:55.800
and I'm going to really pursue that. No, I probably

1488
01:21:55.800 --> 01:21:57.720
will have some pretty cool follow up stuff.

1489
01:21:57.760 --> 01:21:58.720
Pretty that's awesome.

1490
01:21:58.760 --> 01:21:58.840
You.

1491
01:21:58.920 --> 01:22:01.800
Yeah, definitely keep me, keep me in the loop with

1492
01:22:01.840 --> 01:22:04.600
what goes on in in your area up there. For sure.

1493
01:22:05.840 --> 01:22:08.159
I do have footage of what I believe is a

1494
01:22:09.199 --> 01:22:14.479
face of a sasquat looking at me, but I couldn't

1495
01:22:14.479 --> 01:22:18.319
get the camera to focus on it, and uh, I

1496
01:22:18.359 --> 01:22:20.680
was in a canyon on the slope. It was super

1497
01:22:20.720 --> 01:22:24.520
sketchy and then I also have another footage that was

1498
01:22:24.800 --> 01:22:28.359
right at sundown and I couldn't get the camera to focus,

1499
01:22:28.399 --> 01:22:30.880
and so I tost that camera side and pulled out

1500
01:22:30.920 --> 01:22:33.560
another camera and uh by.

1501
01:22:33.479 --> 01:22:35.800
The time I got it up, but there was nothing there.

1502
01:22:36.840 --> 01:22:41.239
And another piece of footage I got blobs black blobs

1503
01:22:41.279 --> 01:22:44.399
in a shrub that seemed to be moving.

1504
01:22:44.960 --> 01:22:45.920
But I could, you know what I mean.

1505
01:22:45.960 --> 01:22:49.119
So I have a lot of like maybe squatch footage,

1506
01:22:49.119 --> 01:22:51.960
but it's just I want I want that million dollars shot.

1507
01:22:52.079 --> 01:22:53.439
It'll blow up, you know.

1508
01:22:53.800 --> 01:22:57.560
I would recommend to just put it all up. Seriously,

1509
01:22:59.319 --> 01:23:03.880
put it up. Yeah, people can. I mean, you'd be surprised.

1510
01:23:03.920 --> 01:23:06.239
There's a lot of like really technical people that can

1511
01:23:06.399 --> 01:23:10.039
even they might be even able to help clear up stuff.

1512
01:23:10.600 --> 01:23:13.439
But I would not. I would just put it all

1513
01:23:13.520 --> 01:23:16.720
up because people love watching your journey as well. That's

1514
01:23:16.760 --> 01:23:19.760
a huge deal. Absolutely, Hugh, Thanks again for coming on
