Forward slash the Big for Society and now let's get on with the show. All right, Bigfoot Society, You've got the privilege of talking to mister Jonathan Brown from Washington State.

0:46 You may know him from his channel with of course Sarah Brown, but we've got Jonathan here today. Salish Sasquatch and welcome to the show, Jonathan. Heny, thanks for having me. Jeremiah dude, let me talk. I'm going to talk about your channel for a little bit. When I see one come out, it is an emergency, drop everything and then nothing else. It's it's like I saw the Highway twelve one the other day. Oh my goodness, it was so I love it because like I've never seen places like Packwood before, so it's very cool for me to see that. And you guys just do a great job. So I mean, I'm going to have it in the show notes. People.

1:27 I know most of my listeners have are already watching Salors Sasquatch because it's it's really good. But if you're not, you need to check it out, guys, So. That thanks for saying it. Did they take down one of your videos the other day? I think it was just like a YouTube glitch because we put it up initially and then it said that it was removed by user, and in order to remove it by the user, like you got to go in the edit, you got to go to delete, and you got to confirm delete. Neither of us did that, and so it just it was there and then it was gone. But it's it's up. It's running funny. Nice. Yeah, everyone needs to check that out. Also, you may have heard about Jonathan and Sarah, but you just maybe didn't realize it. They used to be they would be referred on the Sasquatch Chronicles podcast as the Brown Property.

2:21 Correct. Yeah, So, Jonathan, do you mind share You've been going through a lot on your property over the years. Do you mind sharing what you've experienced in that it's a Shahalis reservation? Correct? Yes, So it was in twenty twelve. It must have been about like eight thirty nine o'clock. I know it was in the fall, maybe October so of twenty twelve. And I'm going out to the car to get something. And when I come outside, like it smells funny outside. It smells kind of like a skunk mixed with something very foul. And you know, with it being that long, I don't really remember what that foul smell in combination with the skunkish smell was, but it was bad. And so I go out to the car, and then from one side of the property, I hear this, and then I'm like, Okay.

3:21 That wasn't a bird that whistled right there? And then from the opposing side of the property, I hear a response that's another. And I'm like, oh, man, Like. I've lived on this reservation most of my life and I've heard all kinds of stories. I've always believed in Bigfoot, but at that point in time, I thought, like, you know, having a bigfoot encounter, you got to go like freaking deep in the mountains to have something happen, even though I've heard like local stories all my life. But it was after that point that my brother Ben and I we started spending some time outside and just listening and sitting in by the fire, and that's kind of when everything started unfolding.

4:10 That's wild. How far out are you guys from other people, or do you have neighbors pretty close or what's kind of the area. Like closest neighbors are probably about like a quarter a mile away, and we're by we're right by the Chihalis River as well, and there's you know, creaking a creek behind our property, and so there's there's it's kind of a point like where we live. There's it's kind of like where wilderness meets like you know, agriculture area, because you can go up in the nearby areas where you know, it's dense forest for a long ways all the way to like you. Know, will of Pall Bay. But like where we are, like it's.

4:54 Not it's not necessarily a place that you know, somebody would think that sasquatches. Freak Quinn. I just talked to a guy from your area. We were talking about it before the show started, and listeners have already heard this. It's Rick. He's saying that that Capital State Forest has a ton of stuff in there. Is that? Is that correct? Or I mean the nineteen eighty two grays Harbor tracks, they were taken about ten miles away from here as the crow flies, And I've heard people say that. I've heard people that like bigfooters talk about Capitol State Forest as if it's a dead zone. But the only reason that I think that they say that is because like there's only two or three different campgrounds in Capitol State Forest, and so there's there's also no dispersed camping allowed. So I think that that's one of the reasons is you know, people that want to go looking for sasquatch, they go to areas where they can like do disperse camping and get kind of deep, but that's not really available in Capital Forest. But I don't see any reason why the sasquatches wouldn't be in Capital Forest. Gotcha, they've been there or some of the best tracks were cast right outside of there.

6:03 So I don't see why not, you know. Definitely, So then after you experience this sound back and forth, you guys start to get into it pretty hardcore after that or is it kind of like a slow burn type deal. No, we started immediately getting into it. And my brother, my brother Ben and I we had spend a lot of time outside just listening, heard a lot of stuff. But it was in April of twenty thirteen that my wife's Sarah and I we started, you know, trying to trying to take things to the next level. I mean, we're just freaking nubs when it came to bigfoot, but we would for I don't know, it must have been several days we were here and stuff, and we started trying to like leave food on the edge of this tree line. And for all I know, we're feet raccoons and coyotes, whatever. But it was an attempt to like it was an attempt to like try to feed sasquatch, not knowing anything about them. And in April of twenty thirteen, when we were approaching that tree line one evening, I remember it was the first week of April.

7:19 I don't know which day it was, but we hear all this. We hear all this commotion, there's multiple vocalizations going off. I don't remember if it was rock clacking or if there was knocks, but there was multiple individuals back there. And as we start getting into the tree line, there's a commotion off to my left and I look over and I see a sasquatch moving towards a tree, and you know, it's still light out of this time. It's like, you know, close to close to where the sun's coming down, and it's shaded enough to where like I couldn't make out any like facial features. I could tell that the sasquatch's face was dark.

8:01 But I could there was enough sunlight that was coming through through the trees where I could see like coloration to where it was like a reddish brown. But those were the those were the details that I was noticing. And in my mid twenties, in my early to mid twenties, I worked construction, so I know that a doorframe is six foot eight And when it was crouching, like moving back and forth behind a tree, it looked to me. Like I was about close to one. Hundred feet away from it, maybe a little bit more, and it looked to me like even crouched down that it was about the size of a doorframe, so if it was standing and erect, I don't know, maybe seven and a half eight feet tall, I don't know, but it seemed like that kind of happened for a long time.

8:50 But realistically, like that siding probably was about a minute. And when I was looking at it, I was telling Sarah, I was like, it's right there. But I wasn't looking at it square on, feeling cocky or anything like that. Like I was very intimidated. Like I would look at it in the corner of my eye and then I would look at it and then I just kind of have to It was kind of like like a little kid that is scared that's being bullied, even though it wasn't bullying me. It was I was just that intimidated by it. When I would look at it, and finally Sarah and I'm telling Sarah to look at it, she won't look at it. And then I'm like, I don't want to be here. We're leaving right now, and we were flustered, and then that was that. But when I was looking at it, it started the last that I remember.

9:45 When I was looking at it, it started like crouching to the side of the tree, like crouching lower and lower and lower, and the last time that I looked at it, it was it had to have. Been laying on the ground at that point. So it really affected you, guys. I mean, this is on your home property. Yeah, just right outside of it. And after that April, it seemed like nothing happened. After that sighting, it seemed like nothing happened until it was.

10:25 The very tail end of August or the beginning of September of twenty thirteen that stuff started picking up again. Sarah and I had our bedroom window open one night and Sarah woke me up. It must have been like five or four or five o'clock in the morning. She's like that howling out there, and I'm half asleep, and I'm like, okay, but I'm not. At that point, I wasn't hearing what she was hearing. And my brother Ben and I would go out and make fires, and stuff started happening again, and then we had it wasn't we Sarah had reached out to the Olympic Project, which was at the time Derek Randalls and David Ellison.

11:10 I don't remember who the members were back then, but. Derek and David were the main guys, and Derek had talked to Sarah over the phone and came out and met with us, and. He left us with a He left us with a. Thermal device that didn't have internal recording capability. And I know that Sarah's going to be coming on here, so I am going to step on the story. She could tell her again when she's on your podcast. But this kind of let's see paints the picture for like the beginning of it. And we were outside one night after he had left that device that didn't record, and we were just standing in the back of the yard just I don't know fifteen to twenty minutes, and then there's this banging and it's like this metallic sound that is behind us, and we're like, oh man.

12:04 We run to the back porch the house, just scared, and then finally I. Muster up the courage to go get a flashlight, and then I grabbed my pistol. It's not like I was intending to like shoot anything, but just for security. And so I'm walking back over to where that metallic banging came from because it was very close to us. And then this wasn't the only thing that I saw, but I shined my light right in its eyes, but it was just for a fraction of a second. I bolted back to the house right after that, like that was too much. I wasn't ready for that.

12:45 And then Sarah grabbed the thermal camera that didn't have the recording capability and she was looking at it. She was like, Joan is swaying back and forth right now. And I didn't look at it through the thermal camera. I saw the eyes and then I was like, all right, well take a picture with your cell phone, and she put her cell phone up to the up to the device, took a picture. If you look at the picture, and she'll go for more detail with you on that when she's on your podcast, but it's not. It only makes sense like in proper context if you're explaining what was happening. But it was at that point it was behind some BlackBerry bushes and you could see it standing up and David Ellis later went there with a scale pool and you know, it was much larger than he was.

13:33 So that was the That was one one thing that happened. After we had told Derek and David about that, Derek brought another thermal camera out that did have like on board recording and it seemed like it was coming from where coming from somewhere where might have been coming from California or something like that, and we we had had that, So that was in September, and we had the next device in oct Over. We had played around if it, like thinking it was cool and stuff like that, but. Not not that many times. And it was on It was on October thirtieth of twenty thirteen. There was this rancher he had like that's that's at the point where the field behind us there was a rancher that was leasing it. And that's the point where he was moving his cows to another field.

14:25 Because it floods down there. And so a lot of the cows were making quite a bit of commotion. And they were just like you know, making crying cow sounds, just whining and stuff like that. It was really loud, so we didn't even put out audio that night, and it was just before midnight. I believe that there was even though the cows were right behind us, they were being loud. There was this tapping on a tree, like this light tapping that I heard, and so I grabbed the thermal canra that my brother Ben and I had back there, and at first I'm at first I'm looking back there. I see the cows through thermal and everything, but I see something laying on the ground and it looks like a humanoid head and I'm like, okay, hold on, and I'm trying to figure out which button is record.

15:20 I've changed, I've changed positions. That wasn't putting on the ground anymore. It was behind this berm that drops down about twelve thirteen feet, but it's a gentle burm, and so at this point you're looking at it from the chest up, getting caught off by the getting cut off by the berm, and I'm thinking that I'm recording at this point and I'm not recording. Bigs A society who will be right back after these messages.

16:01 I'm taking snapshots and I hand the camera over to my brother Ben, and that's when we got a thermal video of it. You have on your YouTube channel Saless Sasquatch as well. Correct. Yes, and if you look, if you look at the uploads, it's the very first upload at the bottom of the page. On videos. About the same time frame, you started to capture some some interesting audio in like octobery. Actually that actually happened. That actually happened at the exact same time after Derek came out, because David came out afterwards and had had to set up some audio recorders and he introduced Sarah to how to record and everything like that, so she would set out the audio and make sure.

16:50 Everything was running every night. And yeah, that during that time span that I just talked about, from September to beyond October, like, we had good recordings. I think it was even in May of twenty fourteen where audio was captured. But David had set Sarah up with audio. He had an audio tent, he had a parabolic dish, and he even taught her how to review audio on the spectrogram through I don't know which program it was, but she got pretty good at it. That's awesome. Let's try to place some of these. These are looped five times, most of them correct, a few of them.

17:36 Are possibly whatever it says on that. Okay, gotcha, all right, I'm going to play the one the creepy singing, and then if you have any any commentary on that, we'll let you do that. Here we go.

18:20 So there were so many like things that we heard in span of twenty thirteen to fourteen, because my brother Ben and I would stay out late until like twelve o'clock, sometimes one o'clock, even on workdays. But I don't particularly remember that one specifically. It's possible that I had heard it live, but I don't remember hearing that one live. There was just a lot that had happened. But on some of the other clips that I sent you, I just like that one that you just played because it's one of my favorites. But on the other ones that I sent you, I was. There, gotcha? And why is the one that we just played one of your favorites?

19:01 Would you say? I just like the singing ones. I mean, they're not that common, I've heard them before, but I really like the unique audio clips. Absolutely. Let's this one, says the branch break display. So we'll play this one here. Huh man, I don't get like, I'm well hoop around the side.

20:00 So on that one, David Ellis he always reviewed the audio that we had to, you know, make sure it wasn't like anything that was a known animal or things like that, and you would send us back to the clips that were interesting. He calls that one a branch break display. That wasn't branches breaking when Ben and I heard that, it was rocks that were being clacked together on the other side of the road. Really so, and so that's why you hear at the end of the audio clip and Benn are kind of flustered at that point and trying to get our lights and everything like that. And then that's when you hear us say, like the loop around the side on the side of the house. We go loop around to the side of the house, and we're looking around because we were familiar with rock clacking by that we had heard it quite a few times.

20:48 And we go to the as soon as we get into the field that's next to the house, and we're shining our lights across the road. There's these there's. These light greenish yellowish greenish yellow eyes that our lights are reflecting off of. And I mean this is six feet up on the other side of the road at least, but there's another berm that drops down over there as well. And I don't know how long we were kind of having a little bit of a sandof for, but I would guess that it was, you know, between thirty and forty seconds or so, and then it just dropped down and moved out. But that was that clip right there.

21:29 I remember talking to Shane Corson about the Olympic nesteria and how he had found actual like rocks that were clacked together. Is that Have you found anything like that on your property ever? I haven't found that. But one thing I will say about the rocks being clacked together is, I mean we heard rock clacking way more often than we'd here any wood knocks. And what was kind of convenient about that is like, with rocks being clacked together, like you, it's easier to the times that we have attempted like making woodknocks to see if we could get like a response. We never had any luck with that, but with rock clacking we did because you know, we could hear the cadence that they would be clacking together and stuff, and we would try to do it the same way. But yeah, there was far more rock clacking than wood knocks that we've experienced.

22:30 Have you noticed that there are different patterns that will arise different times of the year or do they kind of sound similar all the way through? I mean I've heard them spread out a little bit, but the most common than I've ever heard, is big, big, big, big, like that fast, not like what was on the recording. Oh wow, do you think that's down by the river or hard? Hard to say? Oh, that rock clacking that we had heard on the clip was right across the road from us. Okay, directly across from our property. You've got another one in October here, and this one says unintelligible voice. So I'm going to go ahead and play that.

23:20 Yeah, so I remember cool. Okay, So on that one, I was walking outside, the audio was rolling. I walk outside and I hear that. And immediately when I heard that, like right by the gazebo where we make a fire and everything like that in the back of the property. I hear that from over there as soon as I'm walking out of the door, and I'm just like nope.

24:09 It sounded like. Little girls that were singing, And to me, that was like scarier than like a sasquatch or anything like that, because if there was, like, there'd be no reason for any little girls to be back in the woods at that time of night like singing. But that was like freaking creepy to me. So I heard that and I was just like nope, I'm going in. That would be very creepy. Is the activity that's on your property? Does it seem like it is just sasquatcher? Sometimes you hear stories where like stuff will happen inside the house and it's just a whole different ball of wax.

24:51 Or do you not have to deal with that stuff? Oh, we haven't had like any like we haven't had like any hauntings or anything like that. Like, I mean, there's there's weird stuff that has happened, just like other. People have had it happen. But I don't really want to. I don't want to really want to get into like the paranormal, but it's not anything that's ever been prevalent, you know. Oh yeah, no problem, No problem, Yeah, no problem. I mean, I guess what I'm gonna I'm gonna clarify, Like there has been times that twice that I've woken up and I thought that I saw a ghost, but I don't know that I was in a dream state because I had just woken up. And you know, you could be partly awake partly asleep and you think you see something, but that in no way do I like.

25:44 Know for sure that that was what I saw. Gotcha yeah, it's there can be some you know, a lot of people report like shadow shadows out of the corner of their eyes, stuff like that. You also have an another one here where it's screams from November. I'm gonna play that one here, all right, Okay, So on that one, I don't know whether I heard that live or not. It's just one of my favorite audio clips that we have, so I can't say either way if I heard that one in person or not.

27:12 Is that something that is heard a lot on that property, those screams. Or I mean, it's not very common like there was during twenty thirteen and fourteen. There was there was a period where it seemed like that kind of activity was It just seemed like the Sasquatch were a lot more active than like we didn't have anything happened that was that obvious beforehand, and you know, being aware of them afterwards. Yeah, we've heard stuff. We've we've gotten recordings afterwards, but it not not as condensed as it was from you know, two thousand, from like September two, I would say May of twenty fourteen.

27:57 September of twenty thirteen to May fourteen was a super hot time and I don't know what was going on. I don't know if that's some type of pattern with sasquatch. I don't know what they were up to. I can't pretend to know. All that I know is there was more that happened during that period than I've ever experienced before. And during that time I thought like I thought, like, man. It's easy to see a sasquatch, but no, I haven't seen one since. Okay, so you have that initial sighting and then after that not not really many sightings on the property. Sounds like, well, there was, there's the initial setting. There was a time that I flashed my light and it's eyes when it was close by a banging on the pop.

28:49 There was a time that Ben and I had heard the that you just played the audio clip of the rock clacking across the road and we shine our light and it's. In its eyes. And then there's the thermal video that happened on October thirtieth. So as far as like, as far as like sightings, that would be, that would be all that I have. During that time. God, and I haven't. I have not. I have not seen this asquatch since. Is this something where you do you ever talk to your neighbors at all, Do they have similar things going on on their property as well? Or oh yeah, like the people that the people that live up the road from us, there's one guy that spends more time than anybody, like fishing and hunting right where we are, down by the river, not on our property, but like close by.

29:41 And I was thinking, like after after things first. Started, I was like, man, and I'm not going to say his name, but I'm going to talk to this guy because if anybody has experienced anything bigfoot related on the reservation, it's him. And I asked him. I called him up and asked him about it. He was kind of hesitant to really talk about it at first. Then he was like, yeah, I've seen him, and he tells me when the last time was. I think it was like five years before that or something like that. But he had seen them several times, like throughout his life, and.

30:23 He had he had some good stories. I'm not going to share those because they're. Just not mine to share, and I don't know if you would be comfortable me sharing them, but that really, that really, it just made me feel better knowing that, like, Okay, it's not just us, like obviously you live close to us. You're spending a lot of time by the way, where you spend a lot of time hunting. You spend more time than anybody else outside. And you've never told me your stories before, but you were hesitant to tell me at first, and then you finally. Did big for a society who will be right back after these messages, You've had multiple years to think about this and to look into this and study audio. Remember what you saw. How do you view the sasquatch? Is it a thing? Where do you view it more as like an ape type creature or maybe some sort of human creature or is it just hard to explain for you?

31:44 Well, I mean initially I just kind of thought of it as a sasquatch like kind of ape, kind of human, you know. And then it must have been about twenty fifteen or sixteen. I think it had to do with a little bit of burnout and frustration, thinking like, man, there's got to be something more to this, Like these things have got to be paranormal, because if anybody would have seen them again, it would be me. And that's just frustration because it wasn't happening like it was in twenty thirteen and fourteen. But after taking a little cooling off period, like after about twenty fifteen to twenty twenty, I wasn't doing anything Bigfoot related, but over that time, over that cooling off period, it was like, Okay, well, I've never experienced sasquatch do anything paranormal.

32:34 I've seen a sasquatch. It looked like a live creature, a living creature that would do things that you would think it would. But I'm back to square one where I just think that a sasquatch is a sasquatch. Whether that's a little bit ape a little bit human, I don't know, but they're real. You took about a five year five years off, which is a pretty substantial time time frame, and what what made you go back into it in twenty twenty. I just kind of missed the adventure. You started to go out again or just kind of sticking to your property and seeing what you could find.

33:17 Well, going outside and you know, making fires, like trying to you know, hear stuff. And we would not not as often as in twenty thirteen fourteen, but we would hear stuff. But then also you know, camping out with friends that we had in the past, that were into bigfoot and going to different areas, and you know, it hasn't stopped since then. So then, so ever, since you got back into it in twenty twenty, you start to experience things again. Yeah, But during that like five year like cool and Offberard, it wasn't like I was spending any time outside, like I wasn't like I wasn't trying to I wasn't I was spending time outside.

33:59 I wasn't spending time outside at night. But after twenty twenty, yeah, started going on camping trips and going to different places, and you know, for if you're in a really good spot, like there's there's a ten chance that something's going to happen if it's a really really good spot. But more often than not, like you just got to like go and camping and hanging out with folks that are like minded and the trip will be enjoyable. But every once in a while stuff happens, you know. Oh yeah, absolutely, that's I mean, I feel very similar.

34:39 I have not been to Washington yet, I've been to Oregon, and it is at at the end of the day, it's just it's a fun time hanging out with friends. But also you get to throw bigfoot in there. That's that's even that's even better. But do you have any really cool trips that that stick out that you were able to go on when you started going out after twenty twenty. Well, actually, in twenty twenty, there was a big camp out that Bart Katino had attended and a bunch of a bunch of people were there, and that was when Shane Corson and myself along with some other people.

35:19 Todd Hale was there. We were we were at this place in the Cascade Range where it was my second night there, and Shane was like, oh, come over to my camp over here. I mean, yeah, we heard himself last night, and so I go there. Shane and I are just like catching up around the fire and talking and then we just who probably about a hundred fet away from us, and then we just look at each other like neither of us are talking, and then we do talk about it afterwards, But that probably came from about one hundred feet away. And then then twenty minutes later, this tree gets pushed over.

36:00 And this is in late August, and so it's not like it's not like it was windy out or anything. Is it possible that a dead tree just fell down. Yes, but in that in a twenty minute timeframe of hearing a whoop, that's that's quite the coincidence if that happened as well, you know. Yeah, And you can actually hear this audio if you go over to the Salish Sasquatch channel and it's in the Highway twelve documentary video that just came out, and it is I mean, that tree being pushed over is intense. Yeah, yeah, it was. That was a that was a crazy night. And you know that being close to the time that I started getting back into everything. When it's when it's that intense, a lot of people would interpret that it's like, oh, the Sasquatch were getting really aggressive with you guys. Was it a nerving when it happened yet a little bit, But it wasn't. It wasn't like terrifying or anything, because that tree that came down was at a little bit of a distance, you know, outside of camp. So in my opinion, I just think that the Sasquatch we're trying to flex.

37:11 Like, man, you guys need to get out of here, please exactly. Yeah, if anyone was by that tree, they would have been just absolutely demolished. It sounded massive. The other I like that that video too because it goes over one of my favorite places to get reports from, which is the Packwood area. Oh man, oh my goodness. I've heard some of the wildest things I've ever heard come out of that area. Why do you think it's such a crazy Sasquatch area in Packwood. Well, I think it is in the winter time. I mean, there's a Packwood has activity as far as I know your own based on reports. But I think the reason that, like there's so many roadside crossing and stuff like that, and the winter time is because you take areas like a Bumping Lake, rim Rock Lake that you know, get a lot of snow, goat rocks wilderness, and you know up the mountains above above Packwood as well, like over by like where Wallup Lake is, areas where a sasquatch are you know seen and heard. There's so much snow at the time, so they kind of they kind of funnel down. And this is just a theory because Packwood's a much lower elevation and at that time of the year, all the elk are in the town of Packwood at that time. So I just think that

38:42 like in the wintertime. I think you're dealing with multiple groups that are in the vicinity, so it's easier to have an encounter. Yeah, that makes sense. I think there's definitely something to the elk theory. I heard that get thrown around down in the Cascades in Oregon where I was by a few hunters at Sasquatch Summer Fest. It's like, you know where the elk are at a certain time of the year, you probably know where the sasquatch are, you know. I want to talk a little bit more about your channel. Do you have any what are maybe some some of the favorite videos that you guys have done so far on Salish Sasquad.

39:31 So the one that we recently did from Packwood, it's called the Highway twelve corridor and the tree getting pushed down, that was the That was the first one that I did, and Sarah had like I help Sarah film you know, all of the videos, except she's been doing all the editing since. But the very first I did was the. Cascades encounter, and that's the full detail of what happened with that whoop and that tree came down, because it was just us that we're experiencing stuff. Like there was other people that were experiencing stuff on the perimeter as well that were away from us, and they got different recordings. So it was it was kind of a it was kind of.

40:13 Where just a lot of stories were lined up and recorded them and put something together. But that one's called the Cascades Encounter. It's you guys are super smart because you from what I've noticed as a content creator, I mean you are you have a lot of well you're in the area, so you have access to you know, your friends from that area of people like you know, Shane Courson, and you just get a lot of really good people sharing encounters, which I'm a super fan of. And I mean the growth on the channel has really been impressive. I mean, what do you got you I think your uptake was it forty k maybe around there right now?

40:59 Yeah, I think we just went over forty five today. Nice. And it's it's because like the quality is really good. I can't think I'm gonna so I can't think of anyone that even comes close right now, because like you are in the state, You're able to have all these connections and like you can, well, how what's the furthest you probably travel for one of your videos, maybe like four or five hours or how much travel you're putting in for these. I think the longest one was about five hours, okay, but that was that was when we went to go record John Andrews and had never met him before or anything like that. But I've always heard a lot about him, and you know, he's one of the He's one of the old timers that just has stories that have to be heard.

41:50 You know, I feel the same way. It is. It is constantly weighing on me. If you think about how old the guys that had stuff happened in the seventies are, they are they are headed out really quick. And it's like, that's why I talk to so many people as much as I can, because these guys, like their stories are going away with them, right. Even the guys that were like doing stuff in the nineties, those guys are getting old too. Whenever you get to talk to someone who has never talked before, there's just something something special about that.

42:34 Can you share, Like what kind of setup tech wise do you guys usually use when you're out doing interviews. Well, we use the mobile mics for when we do wireless recording some but other than that, like we shoot everything on our iPhones. Sarah has a Dji I think it's called the Ozmo. I think it's the osmo too, as like a built in gimbal on it so that like you can follow like face and stuff like that. But other than that, just just a dji drone. What is your I have favorite places myself. Do you when you hear someone they reach out to you and they're like, I have stories from a certain area. Is there a certain area in the state of Washington where if they say this area, you're like, oh man, this is going.

43:27 To be great. Yeah, you're acting like my favorite areas that it comes from. Yeah, I mean, and if it's given anything away, you don't have to. But no, I mean like part of like when people when people do videos with us on our channel, and they want their location, you know, to remain unknown, Like we honor that and we don't want to. Expose it exactly. But part of part of what we do in our channel is share bigfoot areas because it's like all these sasquatch researchers, they're like, this. Is my area, this is my area. It's like it's not your freaking area. Like, if there's more people that were aware of where. To go, then there would be more evidence that was gathered by people that were in the into the hobby of it, you know. And we just feel like by sharing different areas on our channel that it enhances the probability of some of the next best evidence to you know, come through. Not that it's going to come through us, but we're trying to let people know where to have the calendars.

44:36 That's awesome. Do you have a place that is kind of on your bucket list that maybe, you know, maybe someday you guys get to go there and and do something. Outside of Washington. I would say there's some pockets in Oklahoma. That would be cool if I could put in I'm going to put in a request, but I don't. I don't think you guys have done it yet, but it would be really interesting. Have you done like the Lake Cushman area yet? Yeah, we we have a video called big for Airbnb. Oh right now? Yeah, well, I mean it's right outside Yeah, totally.

45:17 I forgot about that. It's right it's right on it's right on dal Mountain and the owners there. I've had all kinds of. Experiences and as well as people in the surrounding area. But man, the Lake Cushman area I think is one of the hottest areas in the state. Oh yeah, I mean, and I forgot dow is right next to it. So I mean I've talked to this dude. His name is Lynn Gasper. Oh my goodness. Actually had you know Lynn? We we met him in Tacoma and recorded with him. We had a complete audio failure. Yeah, oh no, he is wild dude. The stuff that he told me about. Did he tell you his late Cushman account?

46:06 Oh, I wasn't. I wasn't listening at the time. I was just trying to film. Like so, I'm not familiar with any of his I'm not familiar with any of physic encounters, but I've heard he has really good stories. Some that Lake Cushman areas just is just absolutely bonkers. And I mean, yeah, that dow Man. When I saw that, and I was like, I bet that Airbnb well, which is probably the idea. I mean, I'm sure that would be a crazy place to stay at. Hopefully those airbnba owners have have gotten some some sweet connections through your videos. But yeah, that was just that's a really good video. That's that's one of my favorites.

46:49 But and especially when you're getting out in the wintertime, you know, when that's not necessarily the most convenient to go camping. You can find Airbnb's a lot of Sasquatch hot zones and. Still sleep comfortably that night, but stay outside as much as you want as well. You know. Yeah, that's a good point because I mean you could go out and you could try to, you know, do the crazy camping. I'm just not a fan of like wet and cold camping when it's snowing and it's raining. No thanks. Yeah, I mean it's something you got to take seriously. I Mean, the weather up there can change really quickly, so that's you know, you want to make sure you have your your safety in order for sure. But Jonathan, it has been a a fun chat with you.

47:43 I'm glad. I'm glad we're able to get you on the show. We'll talk to Sarah hopefully a little bit, you know, maybe in a little bit later we'll have her set up a time. But I just love what you guys are doing. It's it's important that you guys are capturing the accounts, capturing the areas and you guys do such a good job on it, and definitely keep up the keep up the great work.
