5
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:20.559
We got someone or something crawling around out here?

6
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:27.160
Does a legend walk among us working in the forests

7
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:27.839
of our world?

8
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.240
Did you see what it was?

9
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:34.560
Was it a person or an animal?

10
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:36.600
Or I can't go? Oh, I know that if my

11
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:38.840
thunder light came on and I get happened to gwent

12
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:41.479
and see this thing running across the yard, a good

13
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.159
sight man or something works like a man. I don't

14
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:44.719
know what it was.

15
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.799
For over fifteen years, we've talked with scientists, researchers, investigators,

16
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:58.960
and witnesses trying to gain insight and truth around the

17
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.679
existence this mysterious entity.

18
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:09.599
Jesus quite ar Hello, get somebody out here.

19
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:10.719
What's going to announce?

20
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.239
There's got to a mention about sixty four nine?

21
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:14.920
I don't know is he announced there?

22
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:21.280
Yes, I'm working right out. Oh, okay, hand on her, Yeah,

24
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:24.159
Okay, what's he doing in your yard?

25
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:25.560
We're gonna move you.

26
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:37.359
Join us as we continue into the investigation of the

27
00:01:37.400 --> 00:02:03.239
Sasquatch Experience. Well, here we are our Sasquatch Experience for Monday,

28
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:09.159
December twenty third, twenty twenty four. It's Christmas Eve Eve

29
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:15.439
if you can believe that. There he is the efferfescent

30
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.439
James Baker joining us. How are we doing, JB.

31
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:26.240
We're doing good, solid day, very good.

32
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.280
And guys, new platform tonight we're trying out here. We

33
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:35.360
are on stream Labs, testing out something different. So folks,

34
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:36.919
if you're in the chat, let us know how it's

35
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:38.800
working out for you, let us know how you hear

36
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:43.960
and varying different levels of frustration from some of us

37
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.120
tonight as we're trying to go through and do this,

38
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:51.560
but it's new and this is things that happen from

39
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:55.439
time to time. But again, we're broadcasting on YouTube, broadcasting

40
00:02:55.479 --> 00:03:00.159
on x broadcasting on Facebook, still getting it out there,

41
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.240
having a great old time. We still see the chat.

42
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.919
So if you have questions, comments, concerned, send them to us.

43
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:12.719
Really ready to try something new. Henry Matt Bake, thanks

44
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.840
for coming on tonight and trying this out with us.

45
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.879
No problem, guys.

46
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:25.479
It's uh, it's been a hell of a couple of

47
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.000
weeks had some citing reports come through. I know, Matt,

48
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:32.080
we sent you out on one last week, which we

49
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.360
really appreciate. I don't know what we can talk about,

50
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.039
but if you want to just give a little synopsis

51
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.439
of what happened and joined and I mean, I'm sure

52
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.120
we could work around any any of that, right.

53
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:47.199
Sure, yeah, and I have you know, the the witness

54
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:54.159
was really open about it and we ended up, you know,

55
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:57.000
coming to a good conclusion for her. So what what

56
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:01.680
happened was just over the last and this came in

57
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:06.240
last week, so a couple of days prior, she started

58
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:11.080
seeing what she believed was, you know, a nest or

59
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:16.040
some sort of tree structures in her backyard. Her backyard

60
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.959
backs up to a mountain and probably about two thousand

61
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.680
acres of it goes straight up the mountain and then

62
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.560
at the top of the mountain it's all coal mines,

63
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:33.240
all abandoned coal mines. So if they're not active anymore,

64
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:42.160
they're fairly inaccessible. So you know, there's not a lot

65
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.879
of people that come out there. There was one historical

66
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:49.560
sighting from that particular area. So I told her, I said, hey,

67
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.480
you know, I have a day off, I'll come on

68
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:56.639
over there, So I'm on my way over there. She

69
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:02.800
gives me a call and says, guess what I found out?

70
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:08.439
Who made the structure? And apparently the only people that

71
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.319
go back there are grandkids. The grandkids came by and said, Grandma,

72
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:14.639
and hey, we made a little tree for it. So

73
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.839
very easy explanation as to what happened. But she does

74
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:25.319
live in a pretty decent area. She sees deer, bear, turkey,

75
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.360
all sorts of while if coyotes through there all the time.

76
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:33.120
And again back in I think it was nineteen ninety nine,

77
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:37.519
there was a historical sighting just about three four miles

78
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:43.480
away from where her residence was. The mountain itself, it

79
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.639
kind of goes out to towards the south and then

80
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:52.639
it goes to the west, and on the western slope

81
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.439
of this mountain is where a young girl was washing

82
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:01.439
dishes one night look out the window saw a gorilla

83
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.360
face looking at her. She screamed. Her parents were in

84
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:07.879
the living room. She tells her parents. They said, no,

85
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.000
you didn't see anything until next morning when they found

86
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.920
two impressions in the uh in the flower bed about

87
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.600
you know, seven feet uh from where the window was.

88
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:21.360
So that was that was something that hey, you know what,

89
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:26.040
that was pretty decent. But but for this one here,

90
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:30.639
uh and again the the h this lady, her enthusiasm

91
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:37.079
was there. She understood, you know, after the explanation, you know,

92
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:40.879
from her grandkids. Hey, this is what what we have.

93
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:46.600
But she's still interested in the in the subject. And

94
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:48.800
she's definitely going to come out to us and come

95
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:50.600
out and see us when we're at the Central PA

96
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.519
Bigfoot Festival. So uh. And she said, if there's anything else,

97
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:57.439
she's more than willing to have us come out there

98
00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:58.879
and checked out her property.

99
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.680
That'd be great. All right, you know, we'll look forward

100
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:05.959
to that as she sends any more you know, information

101
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:09.319
our way. I mean, I'm just very happy, Matt, that

102
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:14.439
we've been getting reports coming in. This one was reported

103
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.000
right through our phone, you know, our phone line. The

104
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.240
other ones reported through the website. So it's great. And

105
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:27.040
of course, folks, you can go to Sasquatch Experience dot

106
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:32.839
com and hit reply or reply report it and it'll

107
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.000
send us an email. Pull up the form, it'll send

108
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.879
us an email of when you submit the sighting. Pretty

109
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.399
great stuff. Again, you know, one of the things that

110
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.240
makes us very unique is the fact that we are

111
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:53.720
active investigators and we need you to report your sightings

112
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.000
or your encounters so we can get them into the

113
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.519
hands of the right people and follow up on investigation.

114
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:02.079
This is a very much organic growth business. We need

115
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:06.160
people to report their sightings and encounters for us to

116
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.639
continue going on or that, or we're just gonna sit

117
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:12.040
there talking about the same sixty year old film footages

118
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:18.040
you know, or so exactly, we definitely need need you,

119
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.920
the listeners to report so before before we go on, Matt,

120
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:24.199
go ahead, I'll let you finish that thought.

121
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.480
Yeah. So I had a conversation with Alex Pettakoff a

122
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.120
few weeks ago. You're talking about the great Guy, and

123
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:36.039
we were talking about the same thing that. First off,

124
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:40.519
if we don't have the data that there's a signing

125
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:45.519
or there's some sort of encounter that somebody has. Again,

126
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:50.759
we're trying to formulate that to see if there's any similarities.

127
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:54.519
Are we seeing certain areas or hotspots in the spring,

128
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:57.039
certain areas are hot spots in the summer and the

129
00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:01.080
in the fall the winter. Uh, And basically that allows

130
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.039
us to put the boots on the ground in those

131
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:10.240
particular areas where there may be some activity. But what

132
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:14.679
we need to really put everything together. We have a

133
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:18.279
lot of reports that have been either sent to us

134
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:23.639
or or shared from other researchers. But it's those people

135
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.639
that are on the fence. They they may have seen

136
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.720
something they don't know or you know, they don't want

137
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.480
to get ridiculed. Please you know, send an email or

138
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:37.799
do the report to us. Well, keep it confidential. We're

139
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:43.960
not going to give names, locations unless it's permitted. And

140
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:49.879
we you know, we do share the information, the data

141
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.960
with other researchers. We're not keeping it secret. We're not,

142
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:57.799
you know, like I said, unless you have somebody that

143
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:02.159
has a property that they don't one you know, a

144
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.279
thousand people coming through, you know. But with that we

145
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.080
let other researchers know. Hey, you know, this is something

146
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:12.120
that the people do want to keep secret. But we

147
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:16.399
do share our information, We share our data. We have

148
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.279
connections with the BFRO, we have connections with Cliff Brockman,

149
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:25.720
all these other researchers. So again we're trying to you know,

150
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.639
try to get all this dated together so that we

151
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:34.200
can you know, form some sort of plan from when

152
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:35.440
we do our outings.

153
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:40.639
Yeah, well, said Matt Well said, thank you. Bay Henry,

154
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:42.879
you guys got anything new before we dive into the

155
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:43.759
night's topics.

156
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:49.039
Well, I do have something new. Daniel Perez. His new

157
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:52.480
book is coming up, big Foot at Bluff Creek. It

158
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:55.279
was supposed to be released next month, but he has

159
00:10:55.320 --> 00:11:00.440
some delays, so it's gonna be February first. Now for

160
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:05.639
those who are members of the newsletter, I need to

161
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:08.799
re up my subscription, by the way. But for those

162
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:14.240
who are who are members, they will get in on

163
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:17.799
the ground floor in February first, after two oh one

164
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.320
a m. Central time will be twelve oh one Pacific

165
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:27.879
time February first. And he hasn't set a price for

166
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.960
it yet because the publishers haven't set a price for it.

167
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:34.360
But he says it's not gonna be a cheap book.

168
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:41.559
Yeah, from what I saw or from what he was

169
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.759
putting out, it's gonna be very image heavy. Uh, there's

170
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.480
gonna be a lot of a lot of photos in there,

171
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:51.600
and coming from from Daniel Perez, Uh, you know that

172
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.720
is going to be fantastic. So I'm definitely looking forward

173
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:55.919
to it, right.

174
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:57.679
And of course, you know, as we tonight is the

175
00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:00.960
second annual Last Minute Shoppers Guide for the special Squatch

176
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:04.720
in Your Life episode. One of the suggestions on the

177
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:07.559
list was, of course, a subscription to The Bigfoot Times

178
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.200
with our past guest Daniel Perez. Daniel been writing The

179
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.879
Bigfoot Times for how many years now, Henry.

180
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:17.399
Well, he had his lether way back. I think it

181
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:22.840
was the late seventies and it went through I can't

182
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:27.399
remember what year it was, and then the new The

183
00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:31.320
Bigfoot Times he has now started in nineteen ninety eight,

184
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.559
so we're talking almost twenty seven years.

185
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:40.039
And that's why we call him the Bigfoot Encyclopedia, right there,

186
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.799
Henry back, folks, go ahead, bac.

187
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:45.679
At one time, I think I was getting a cop

188
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.240
It was a physical copy, and he was mailing them out.

189
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:49.039
Yeah.

190
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:52.200
Yeah, he was doing it pretty much on his dime.

191
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.919
Yeah, I mean we uh, you subscribe to it. You

192
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.759
pay an annual subscription. It's not very much, I mean.

193
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:02.519
And I had a little bit of an issue and

194
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:04.200
he fixed it for me and sent me the back

195
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.200
copies I missed, just do a little snaffoo. So I

196
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:08.480
have them at the house. I got to bring them

197
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:12.360
over to the office. It's an informative newsletter. I like that.

198
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:16.120
Sometimes there's contributions from other folks across the country adding

199
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:19.600
things to it, putting some commentary in. It's worth it,

200
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.519
and of course here at Sasquatch Experience we always like

201
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:27.240
to support great research. And speaking of support, you can

202

a lot of fun. And of course, starting next month,

as too dollars a month, but you know, there's some

219
00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:35.679
other things that have popped up. I was on Bigfoot

220
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.039
Crossroads with Matt Napp a couple weeks ago. We were

221
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.879
talking about Bigfoot evidence, which was a great It was

222
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:43.399
a lot of fun for me to be a part of.

223
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.639
Really enjoy anytime I get to spend with Matt Napp

224
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.679
and having conversation. And there's Scott, one of our Patreon

225
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.879
supporters saying the hangout was a good time. It was

226
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.879
my friend, glad to have you there joining us. It

227
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:00.519
was a lot of fun, kind of inform you know,

228
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:04.279
we keep them informal. We were also on one of

229
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:07.840
the latest episodes of Small Town Monsters. It was beyond

230
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.480
the trailer Bigfoot, Oh, Appalachian Bigfoot Files. Yes, the first

231
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:15.600
episode is what we were on, Matt and I and

232
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:20.559
our friend Brian and Chewy Alex Pettikov. It was a

233
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:23.120
great time there we did. We shot that earlier this year.

234
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:25.960
Had a great time doing that. It was a little

235
00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:27.960
cold up there, not as cold as it was today,

236
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:29.320
been pretty cold.

237
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:35.840
It was cold too, wow out here where I'm at.

238
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:40.600
Yeah, And so I guess now that we're done with

239
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.080
the shameless plugs, we can go ahead, guys who wants

240
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:46.519
to start off with what's on their Christmas list? What

241
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:49.759
if we were recommending gifts for the last minute shoppers,

242
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:51.480
what do we got?

243
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:57.399
Well, I got someone actually gave this to me. I'm

244
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.399
hoping I got a new phone and I can't get access.

245
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:00.720
To my laptop.

246
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:10.399
There's the JACKLINKX hair. The beast acts upside down. You

247
00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:14.399
get a shot glass, you get a flask, and you

248
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:20.320
get some beef turkey. My friend gave me this. I'm

249
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:26.200
assuming they think I'm an alcoholic that also like sweaty meat.

250
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:32.200
By this year, thinking about people that are out actively

251
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:38.799
discovering the outdoors, it's the best word I can think

252
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:42.120
of in the moment. Was I got my friends some

253
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:45.720
gloves or semi heated. They got the wool. They always

254
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:47.480
want to go with the wool, not as much the

255
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:51.200
cotton because cotton absorbs water where wool kinds of shakes

256
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:54.679
it loose. And I got them some of those little

257
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:57.159
heat things. Now, I wanted to get him the good ones,

258
00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:59.720
but I couldn't find them. The good ones you want

259
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.639
to buy are the kind that you snap them and

260
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:04.519
then when you're done with them, if you put them

261
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:07.640
in a bowl. You put them in a either a

262
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.519
cup or bowl or something of hot water, they'll reform

263
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:14.359
so you can use them again. Those are actually a

264
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:16.839
little more expensive, but if you see the math in

265
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:19.359
your head, if you're out there, a lot actually a

266
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:24.039
better deal the ones I think I got Porker, I

267
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:26.640
got you. I think they were like ninety nine cents

268
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:28.759
for two of them. But the thing is like the

269
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:30.640
other side was like twelve.

270
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:31.119
Bucks a piece.

271
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:34.799
But like I said, if you're using them multiple times,

272
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:41.039
you make up the difference in volume. I also, what happened?

273
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:47.599
Oh sorry, oh no, here we go. Sorry, hey, mad

274
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:49.240
it popped up? Got it the worst?

275
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:51.519
Yeah?

276
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:54.359
Yeah, yeah.

277
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:56.519
What you want to think about is when you're out

278
00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:59.240
in the woods, like what is more compact needs and use?

279
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.480
Like I thought, you know, my friend could use some monoculars.

280
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:04.559
But then I thought to myself, is then you're carrying

281
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.759
them around, there's weight and whatever. So I got a monocular.

282
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.319
You know, you just put it up to the one eye,

283
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:13.680
you know, and you look through the hole kind of

284
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:19.359
like Porky's, you know. And so then the nice thing

285
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:21.559
with that is is it's small. It can go around

286
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:23.519
your neck or you can shove in the pocket or

287
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:25.599
you know, if you have pants with more than one pocketing,

288
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:27.960
put them in there. But you know, you always want

289
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:31.960
to look at weight because one thing is dow things

290
00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:34.319
about weight. One, you don't carry a lot of weight around.

291
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:35.759
And you always look at the people next to you

292
00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:37.839
when the bear starts coming, because the father guys are

293
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:39.000
going to run slower.

294
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:44.960
Fair enough, James Baker and the practical gifts, that's for sure.

295
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:50.519
But you know, practicality is important, especially if you do

296
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:54.079
have somebody that's an outdoorsman, and you know, those gifts

297
00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:55.400
do come in handy.

298
00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:01.960
If you don't mind me interacting with the monocary. Yeah,

299
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:04.880
with the monoculars and in binoculars, you can get them

300
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:10.880
through Amazon that they do recording and having that around.

301
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:16.400
If you're able to do a telescopic zoom on something

302
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:21.359
that you may think is you know, something you haven't

303
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:24.720
seen before and you want to try and identify, that's

304
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:27.720
a great way to capture the image. Some of the

305
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:34.920
monoculars may not have the best pixel pixel space or

306
00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:39.960
you know, but I'd rather have that video image, even

307
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:44.559
if it's at a lower resolution than you know, if

308
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:46.880
we didn't have any image at all, Right.

309
00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:50.400
So, Matt, you make a good point. Now, I used

310
00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:52.799
to sell those when I worked at radio Shack.

311
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:55.400
Well, you need to be careful is when you buy

312
00:19:55.440 --> 00:20:01.240
those units, make sure how they record, Yes, because most

313
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:05.519
of them don't actually record, like you condense the lens

314
00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:06.920
to see half a mile.

315
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:11.200
Away, They're still only recording within so many feet of you. Yes,

316
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:13.880
so you have to be aware of that. You also

317
00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:16.920
have to look at storage. Some of them only record

318
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:21.960
like twenty images and have no memory card spot. Sure,

319
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:24.119
So like when you go to do your research, do

320
00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:26.160
a little research. Yes, you're gonna pay a little more

321
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.079
for some of these, but if you're looking you always

322
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:33.000
remember that if you bought a certain items, even though

323
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:35.960
you see the bear close, you know, like it's like here,

324
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:38.200
the recordings.

325
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:39.480
Still going to be that far away.

326
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:40.720
Sure, you know.

327
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:44.119
So just it's a little things you learn from working

328
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:45.160
in an electronic shot.

329
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.039
Yeah, and I mean you can get them now in

330
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:52.119
thermal you can get them in like night shot. I mean,

331
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.079
the monoculars are pretty they can get pretty intense. I'm

332
00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.960
looking at one right now from Flear, the Thermal Monocular

333
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.000
Scout three twenty five hundred bucks. Yeah, you know, and

334
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.160
that's going to do an awful lot for you. And

335
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:09.480
I mean, and that's you know, everybody's varying degree of

336
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:11.599
what they're comfortable with and what they want to use.

337
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:15.759
You know, for years we've had people out there using Fleir,

338
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.039
but let's be honest, what most people are using is

339
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:22.200
kind of like that plumbing grade, you know, not made

340
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:25.880
for the work that we do out in the field.

341
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:27.680
And you start getting into a unit like that, you're

342
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:29.400
going to pay some money. That's you're going to be

343
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:34.279
dropping some coin on one of those flour cameras.

344
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:39.200
So, like, I sorry to interject again, but so one

345
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.200
thing I would recommend is, I'm.

346
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:42.079
A harbor freight guy.

347
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:44.880
I have a project needs a certain tool, and I

348
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:46.599
don't know if I'm going to use it two hundred

349
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:49.079
times to make it worth it. I buy the cheaper

350
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:51.160
version to get the feel in the sense of it,

351
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:53.359
and if I see that it's part of my toolkit

352
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:55.920
on a regular basis, then I go buy the better.

353
00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:00.000
So remember that, you know, like, yeah, they're twenty five

354
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.160
one hundred dollar units out there, but there's also ten

355
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:05.720
dollars units out there, just you know, right, I mean,

356
00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:07.559
they's going to work for you in the moment and

357
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:09.960
then see if you like it, because I don't know, Sean,

358
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.599
you could get out there and go you use it

359
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:13.359
once and go I don't want to ever use this

360
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:13.880
damn thing.

361
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:17.720
Yes, right, no, But I mean, and that's a great

362
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:20.000
thing to think about when you're talking about dropping some

363
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:23.759
serious coin on equipment. You can go broke buy an

364
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:26.920
equipment in this field. And and to your point, there's

365
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:30.160
varying degrees of equipment for everybody. Just because it's also

366
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:32.599
the most expensive doesn't mean it's the best suited for

367
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:35.759
what you're using it for. Yeah, you know, you really

368
00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:38.039
have to watch out for that because sometimes this is

369
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:40.279
a little predatory and you're out there thinking, oh, I

370
00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:43.440
just spent ten thousand dollars on the blah blah blah blah,

371
00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:46.160
but that may not do anything for you, may not

372
00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:49.119
be the right application for it. We talk about all

373
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:52.200
the time, how come we never get every picture we

374
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:54.480
get a bigfoots blurry. Well, it's because we don't take

375
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:56.640
the time to learn how to use it. We go

376
00:22:56.759 --> 00:22:58.400
out there, we pick it up, we're going out there,

377
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.440
we're just snapping pictures. Most the people using those didn't

378
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:02.799
take the time to learn how.

379
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:03.200
To use it.

380
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:06.599
So take the time when you get this equipment, play

381
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:10.160
around with it. Practice, watch some YouTube tutorials. Go find

382
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:15.160
an expert that can show you how club Yeah there

383
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:18.079
are clubs. The more resource you can use, the better

384
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:18.960
off you are. Go ahead.

385
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:24.279
Met vocal point, aperture, and camera speed. Those are like

386
00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:29.559
the big three for photography. So I mean fortunately for us,

387
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:31.640
like you know, when we're just sitting there taking a picture,

388
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:36.079
you know, on Christmas Day with our iPhones or Samsung's,

389
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:41.559
it's already built in, but it takes great pictures, you know,

390
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:45.960
anywhere from you know, up close to you know, ten

391
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:49.440
to fifteen feet. But once you start getting out that range,

392
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:52.000
you know, then the AI in your phone is kind

393
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:55.400
of you know, struggling to keep up with it, even

394
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:58.720
on the zoom. So if you do have a good camera,

395
00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:02.599
I'll tell you in I don't want to go too far,

396
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:05.279
you know, into what I would have for my list,

397
00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:08.480
But talking about the cameras, you know, learning how to

398
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:15.119
use your camera, if you can manually do some settings

399
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:17.680
on your phones, you know, that would be a big help.

400
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:21.119
Or if you have a like a digital sl R

401
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:24.720
or or even one of these little cameras, that the

402
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:30.240
little carry cameras that you can do either manual or

403
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:38.000
it sets it to certain parameters landscape or yes, yep.

404
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:40.559
And especially I mean if you're out in the woods,

405
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:43.200
there is an outdoor setting, but there's also a sports

406
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:46.559
setting too, And the sports setting is gonna is going

407
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:50.279
to come in with a faster camera speed is so

408
00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:53.319
that you're not going to get that blurry picture.

409
00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:57.400
And make sure that you learn how those speeds work,

410
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:00.359
how to do speed model. Here's the best to things

411
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.640
that I'll say. I sorry to break your thing there,

412
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.039
but two things I'll say is, for many years of

413
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:10.279
selling cameras, before you go out in the woods, before

414
00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:13.000
you go on a trip to watch the whales, before

415
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:15.559
you do anything, go back in your backyard, throw a

416
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:17.799
stick at your dog and take as many pictures as

417
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:20.680
you can. See what worked, see what didn't work. You

418
00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:23.599
don't have a dog, throw a stick at a kid. I mean,

419
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:26.440
tick one, all right, But I'll tell you you'll learn.

420
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:30.279
Like the other thing is is don't go cheap on accessories.

421
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:33.000
If you went expensive on a camera, right because if

422
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:35.599
you buy the wrong memory card, you could take a

423
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:38.759
thousand pictures in four seconds. But guess what you only

424
00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:42.000
got a hundred of those because the memory card couldn't

425
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:43.960
keep up with as many times as you press the button.

426
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:46.440
The dog biting my foot, I'm gonna cue.

427
00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:52.960
Yeah, well said. That's one thing that that I get.

428
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:54.880
JB and I had talked about a long time ago

429
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:57.799
as we were selling cameras, is that, you know, the

430
00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:02.279
accessories matter. It's not. It's a package. So I guess

431
00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:04.039
we'll throw that on the list too. A good camera,

432
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:08.480
good assassories. Hey, some photography lessons that never heard anybody

433
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:12.240
did it right, So some good lists. Guys. It's that time.

434
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:14.359
We're at the middle of the hour. We gotta take

435
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:17.519
a break quick. We'll be back, folks, sasquatch experienced. Sean Palker,

436
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:21.920
Matt Arner, Henry May and James Baker will catch you

437
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:27.319
right after. This news team.

438
00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:29.599
A symbol.

439
00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:37.440
Mopdays of Christmas. That's just a song about somebody who's

440
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:42.000
true love gave them an unseemly amount of birds. It

441
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:45.240
is calling birds, turtle doves, partridges. I don't know if

442
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:46.920
those are even real birds, to be honest with you,

443
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.519
I don't why's that last one coming his own treat?

444
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:54.039
That feels like a hanifisient packaging for birds. French hend

445
00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:56.119
what is that chicken? The smokes? I don't know any

446
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:01.119
of these birds. It's not five. You get a break

447
00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:03.920
from the birds like rings. Thank thank goodness. We're done

448
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:07.680
with the birds right, No, not even close day six

449
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:12.400
more birds not just more birds, geese alay and that's

450
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:16.519
more birds giving birth to more birds.

451
00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:22.559
Ah, yes, birds. Well, Happy Christmas, adam to you. And

452
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:27.920
tomorrow being Christmas Eve, we would the five squatch tards

453
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:30.559
here would love to wish all of you a very

454
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:35.920
happy and safe holiday. And speaking of squatch tards, day

455
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:40.319
before yesterday, which was Saturday the twenty first, at approximately

456
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:45.599
three thirty pm, in the Gunnison National Forest in Colorado,

457
00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:48.839
is quoted as saying, my girlfriend and I were driving

458
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:52.759
south on north State Highway one thirty five. We were

459
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.200
on our way back from Crested Butte Ski Resort, and

460
00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:01.079
we had just passed the entrance to Roaring Judy Fish Hatchery.

461
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:04.519
That's a great name. As I was looking out the window,

462
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:06.240
which is a good thing to do if you're in

463
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:10.039
a vehicle, at the east Gunnison River and wooded area

464
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:13.960
that runs alongside the road, I noticed a figure standing

465
00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:16.599
next to a tree in the marsh or water. I

466
00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:20.160
couldn't tell which was which. The figure was what I

467
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:22.839
estimated to be about seven to seven and a half

468
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:26.160
feet tall, and it was about seventy five meters from

469
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.640
the road. Wait, who uses meters as their methodology of measurement. Oh,

470
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:32.839
they must have come down from Canada eight to go

471
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:37.519
skiing in Colorado. Oh YAKRAI we don't make fun of

472
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:43.400
our Canadian friends. We love Canada. Canada is America's hat. Anyway,

473
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:46.319
it goes on, I could clearly see a head and

474
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:49.559
two shoulders and arms hanging down to below the waist

475
00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:53.279
below what I believe was in the water or marsh.

476
00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:57.160
The figure was entirely black, with no variation in color,

477
00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:01.240
and it didn't appear that it was wearing clothing. Well, okay,

478
00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:04.640
I also believe it was facing away from me, looking

479
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:08.119
towards the opposite direction. Well, that's what looking away from

480
00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:11.599
me would be the opposite direction. It was not moving

481
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.400
and was standing entirely straight up from what I could see.

482
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:18.640
He goes on to say that there was one small

483
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:21.279
house about a minute down the road from where I

484
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:24.839
saw it quote, and it appeared to be abandoned, and

485
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:28.319
there were no cars parked or people walking in that area.

486
00:29:28.440 --> 00:29:31.519
From what we could see, there was also about a

487
00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:36.640
foot of snow in at least twenty degrees outside. On

488
00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:41.160
our way back, I then googled Gunnison National Forest Bigfoot,

489
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:44.200
and the very first thing that popped up was a

490
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:47.480
sighting in almost the same area with the exact same

491
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:51.960
description as I had seen. In my opinion, I believe

492
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:56.880
I saw Bigfoot and ironically standing in the water right

493
00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:00.720
next to a fish hatchery looking for a dinner. I

494
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:03.319
can't think of a reason that someone would be standing

495
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:05.519
out there in the water, and I didn't see a

496
00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:10.079
fishing pole. I couldn't make out any features, only the height,

497
00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:14.759
stature and the long arms and solid black and cold.

498
00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:19.440
When we come back, let's go visit some friends in

499
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:25.359

kid and your teacher called your parents and said, yeah,

00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:47.400
we have to have a conference about your kid. Yeah,

525
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:50.240

00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:54.319

We have some great listeners, some great friends, some great fans.

544
00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:15.599
We don't really call them fans. We call them friends.

545
00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:21.679
We're not famous, We're just that's.

546
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:22.039
Our good friend John Cartwright, by the way, is it

547
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:24.320
gotta love Jse our buddy JC.

World's greatest bigfoot Hunter. That's right, that's right, the og

549
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:34.320
world's greatest bigfoot hunter. Don't let anybody tell you any different. Matt,

550
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:37.880
We've gone through Baker's list. Henry, do you or Matt,

551
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:40.320
which one of you guys want to go next?

552
00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:41.960
Henry? Why do you?

553
00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:47.800
Yeah? Well, one thing that I want to point out,

554
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:51.119
and we discussed this and several months ago when it

555
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:55.639
was released, was on the Trail of Bigfoot the Ancients.

556
00:34:56.039 --> 00:34:57.239
Okay.

557
00:34:57.320 --> 00:34:59.880
It is now on YouTube, by the way, if anybody

558
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:04.920
wants to see it in its entirety, but it's also

559
00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:09.079
available for on small Townmosters dot com, Blu ray or

560
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:16.280
DVD if anybody wants to make a purchase. So no,

561
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:17.320
I recommend it.

562
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:19.679
I think that's great, Henry, you know, and I think

563
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:21.719
you just kind of push us into the next stop

564
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:23.800
is you know a lot of our friends that have

565
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:30.320
some of these, you know, digital streaming systems and subscriptions.

566
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:32.360
Small Town Monsters has there as you become a squad

567
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:35.920
member over on YouTube and get access to just about

568
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:38.079
everything that they have in their catalog in four k

569
00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:42.599
to become a squad member over there on the Small

570
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:45.639
Town Monsters YouTube. For anybody that's so inclined to do so,

571
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:50.039
it's worth it. It's worth it. Henry's Henry's laughing at

572
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:58.039
Baker's cheekiness going on behind the scenes. Uh huh, what

573
00:35:58.079 --> 00:35:59.800
else you got, Henry? What else on that list? On

574
00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:02.519
the trail Bigfoot the Ancients?

575
00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:03.400
Yes?

576
00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:09.639
And also also uh, The Secret History of Bigfoot by

577
00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:14.880
John O'Connor. It's more of a skeptical book, but it's

578
00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:18.960
a really good book, although I didn't really like all

579
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:20.920
the political stuff that was in it.

580
00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:24.159
Oh give us a little primer.

581
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:27.119
Well, a lot of Trump bashing.

582
00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:30.760
Let's just say, oh, well, I mean, I guess, to

583
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:32.880
each their own in a book. I don't understand what

584
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:38.840
that's do with Bigfoot, but you know, to each their own, right.

585
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:41.119
I mean, And that's regardless of how you feel about

586
00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:43.559
Trump and whether you love him or hate him, right,

587
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:46.840
you should still stick to what you know that's talking

588
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:48.280
about Bigfoot.

589
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:50.679
I just don't know how it correlates.

590
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:54.599
I don't either, Oh, well, I would.

591
00:36:54.519 --> 00:37:00.920
Say that Bigfoot would be more of a libertarian, right.

592
00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:05.039
I mean, think about the only sovereign citizen, right.

593
00:37:11.320 --> 00:37:16.039
I see him having those conservative values because he hides

594
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:17.559
from the liberal media.

595
00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:22.480
Fake news I got.

596
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:25.599
You know, I was watching Men in Black the other

597
00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:28.280
day and I thought to myself, you know, that is

598
00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:34.239
probably the most accurate dog. That is probably the accuratest

599
00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:38.159
thing that Tommy Lee Jones ever says that. My god,

600
00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:40.159
you know, the only ones who get it right are

601
00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:41.320
the tabloid.

602
00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:47.119
Mm hmmmm, well right, Henry got anything else on that list?

603
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:52.079
Hmm? I can't really think of anything off the top

604
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:52.639
of my head.

605
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:55.760
Well, you had to have asked for something for Christmas?

606
00:37:56.840 --> 00:37:57.800
What did you ask for?

607
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:01.199
Pulled Wolverine?

608
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:03.679
Oh okay, well that was okay, so that really wasn't

609
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:06.719
Bigfoot related, but you know what, good movie. Nonetheless, we'll

610
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:09.880
give you that one. All right, all right, Matt, we

611
00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:12.840
go to you. Let's talk about Matt Arner's list of

612
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:14.360
Christmas e goodness.

613
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:19.159
So it kind of came up earlier in the show.

614
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:22.280
If you want to. I don't know if you're able

615
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:23.440
to post that picture again.

616
00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:29.880
I am hold on one moment here when I find boom,

617
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:30.519
there we go.

618
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:35.079
That was actually a Christmas gift from a coworker, one

619
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:40.159
of our younger guys. His name is Justice, a great officer,

620
00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:45.119
and in every every event he always gets me something

621
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:49.599
Bigfoot related. So we ended up getting a Bigfoot ornament,

622
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:53.679
which I thought was very nice of him. Cool and

623
00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:55.519
as you can see, the Bigfoot has a smile.

624
00:38:56.800 --> 00:38:59.400
Well that's a smiley, happy bigfoot.

625
00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:02.960
Right it is. Now, if Cliff Rockman was looking at that,

626
00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:06.480
he'd say, well, that's a little off because the fingers,

627
00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:09.880
you know, the thumb is gonna be want to be

628
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:17.639
a little different. Yeah. So anyways, one thing that Henry

629
00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:21.320
kind of brought up earlier that I was gonna put

630
00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:23.920
on my list, and of course you can't buy it

631
00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:28.079
right now, but actually, you know, to put a a

632
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:30.440
you know, hey, this is why he went in the

633
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:35.480
spring is The Bigfoot of Left Creek by Daniel Perez Uh.

634
00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:39.320
That is that looks to be like an awesome, awesome book.

635
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:46.480
So every Daniel puts out some wonderful and wonderful material

636
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:49.880
out there along with the big Foot time. So both

637
00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:55.440
of those highly endorsed. So there was a couple of

638
00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:57.280
things that I was thinking during the break there was

639
00:39:57.320 --> 00:40:02.920
one or two pieces of equipment. One is from Wildlife

640
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:10.639
Acoustics and it's called the song Meaner many too. I

641
00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:13.960
actually have that. I have not been able to set

642
00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:17.239
it up yet because it does require a little bit

643
00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:20.039
of technical knowledge that I'm not, you know, so inclined with.

644
00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:24.800
But what that does is it basically takes the place

645
00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:30.880
of the of your audio recorder and being able to

646
00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:34.880
set it at different times. So this is particularly used

647
00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:41.599
for bird researchers. But one thing that just from talking

648
00:40:41.639 --> 00:40:44.840
to other users, they use it at night for owls,

649
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:49.039
so you can set it for a certain hour. And

650
00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:52.519
one thing I would probably do is, you know, like

651
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:56.079
especially in the spring or the fall, I probably put

652
00:40:56.119 --> 00:41:01.519
it around maybe midnight to four am, uh to record

653
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:06.360
and if it picks up anything, it will. Uh. It

654
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:09.079
supposedly does a great job with the with the recording.

655
00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:12.280
So this spring I'm gonna try and get that out

656
00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:15.039
in the woods and uh see how we do with that.

657
00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:19.880
So one thing that I was thinking that's kind of

658
00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:26.199
outside the box with uh yes, uh with the gift

659
00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:31.719
is plan a vacation. And when I say plan a vacation,

660
00:41:33.159 --> 00:41:35.360
try to try to find one of these you know

661
00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:39.159
kind of decent locations that are you know within uh

662
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:43.320
you know, maybe a day's drive, Uh, book an Airbnb,

663
00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:48.639
find a campground, uh, do something and go hiking through there.

664
00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:51.440
Spend some time out in the out in the woods

665
00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:53.519
at night. You know, if you could, you know, drive

666
00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:55.920
down the back roads. That's a lot of stuff that

667
00:41:56.800 --> 00:41:59.440
uh that I'll do. Uh Sean and I have done,

668
00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:03.239
you know, going through the back roads of north central PA. Uh.

669
00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:06.920
Try to find, you know, go to a place where

670
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:11.199
I'd like to go that's within the you know, relatively

671
00:42:11.199 --> 00:42:15.559
short drive of US is Whitehall, New York, up in

672
00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:19.440
the Anarondicks. I think that would be a fantastic uh,

673
00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:22.039
you know, even if you're just going up there for

674
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:24.920
for a couple of days. Try to find There's places

675
00:42:25.039 --> 00:42:29.440
all around the United States that seem to have a

676
00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:33.440
cluster of sightings and counters that seemed to be hotspots,

677
00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:38.079
uh for us. In Pennsylvania, maybe the Allan King National Forest, Uh,

678
00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:43.079
because that that really seems to be a hotspot lately. Uh.

679
00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:51.320
New York, Uh, the Anarondicks, you know, Vermont where Alex

680
00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:55.719
Pattakov is in through that area. Uh. There's so many

681
00:42:55.800 --> 00:43:00.519
different areas in our area, like in our region. But

682
00:43:00.599 --> 00:43:04.679
then look at the south, you know, uh the Smoking

683
00:43:04.760 --> 00:43:09.599
National Park. Uh, maybe down in uh Okeechobee or or

684
00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:14.079
one of those places down in Florida. You know, all

685
00:43:14.119 --> 00:43:20.400
throughout the southeast, uh, Midwest. Uh there's some some great

686
00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:25.559
areas to explore up there, especially in Minnesota. I'm not

687
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:29.679
so familiar about the Great Plains, but uh, but definitely

688
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:33.400
for you know, and then when you're out west, you know,

689
00:43:33.480 --> 00:43:36.639
you got your you know, your pick of choices up there.

690
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:39.760
So what I would say is, if you're looking to

691
00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:43.039
have a big Foot gift, you know, maybe not so

692
00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:45.719
much under the tree, but but have a gift for you,

693
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:50.760
plan a plan a day trip or or plan a

694
00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:53.559
a weekend trip, you know, to one of these places,

695
00:43:53.679 --> 00:43:59.239
and you know, check it out. Uh, speak to some locals. Uh.

696
00:43:59.559 --> 00:43:59.880
You know.

697
00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:05.800
Some of these places now have museums around. Uh check

698
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:09.280
those out, and you know, go out for a night hike,

699
00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:11.480
go out for a d hike. You never know what

700
00:44:11.559 --> 00:44:12.199
you're gonna find.

701
00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:16.639
Well, and a Mettico point there too. Some of these museums,

702
00:44:16.639 --> 00:44:21.519
North American Bigfoot Center, the International crypt Zoology Museum. Uh,

703
00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:25.079
they're always looking for donations, and they're always looking for support.

704
00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:28.599
You can either join their patreons or join their you know,

705
00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:33.599
charitable giving. You can't go wrong supporting those two great institutions.

706
00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:36.760
Let's see what else could you do? You know, we'll

707
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:39.719
go over into some of my lists though, Matt, that

708
00:44:39.760 --> 00:44:42.840
you touched on, you know, as we talk about last

709
00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:46.280
minute gifts, and you and I pontificate on this product

710
00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:50.679
a lot on X maps, on X hunting. It is

711
00:44:51.000 --> 00:44:54.360
a well, I don't want to be dramatic, a life saver,

712
00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:57.880
but I will tell you it does a pretty decent

713
00:44:58.119 --> 00:45:02.719
job in delinear between public and private lands. So when

714
00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:05.679
you're out there, look what you know. You and I

715
00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:08.800
when we were out the last time, we discovered that

716
00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:11.760
road we were on really wasn't a road at all

717
00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:16.159
thanks to onyx match right, Yeah, which was a big

718
00:45:17.039 --> 00:45:19.800
That was a really big deal to discover that because

719
00:45:19.800 --> 00:45:24.079
it really put us into some UH into the place

720
00:45:24.119 --> 00:45:26.440
where we were told we should have been and didn't

721
00:45:26.440 --> 00:45:28.159
even realize we were there.

722
00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:32.519
So the one the one good point about onyx is

723
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:35.280
if we get enough of us that are using onyx

724
00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:42.440
UH in the field that you can drop pins and say, hey,

725
00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:45.840
you know, we had something happen here or this is

726
00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:50.239
where on ex right, Yes, this is where. This is

727
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:53.239
where we were. We we didn't get any activity, but

728
00:45:53.360 --> 00:45:56.440
it seems like a like a pretty decent area. You

729
00:45:56.480 --> 00:46:00.280
can set those pins and it'll take you right there. Uh.

730
00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:04.440
I put up game cameras and I except for one

731
00:46:05.400 --> 00:46:09.679
which was my which was my cell camera, I marked

732
00:46:09.679 --> 00:46:14.599
their location and I've been out like completely lost, thinking,

733
00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:17.239
oh my god, I'm never gonna find find this camera.

734
00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:20.280
And there it is, within like you know, generally about

735
00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:23.519
three to four feet of where I set the pin.

736
00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:28.079
I did have a cell camera that I did not mark,

737
00:46:29.079 --> 00:46:32.880
and we kind of know where it's at, but I'm

738
00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:35.760
gonna have to wait till the snowfall melts a little

739
00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:38.840
bit before I go back there. But but being able

740
00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:44.079
to share those pins with other researchers, We've had witnesses.

741
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:48.760
I had a witness he had some encounters in north

742
00:46:48.800 --> 00:46:52.519
central PA. He sent me the Onyx pins from where

743
00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:58.679
his signings were. So definitely a huge, huge, you know gift.

744
00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:02.960
Right now, I'm an elite member, which does have a

745
00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:05.800
little bit of a cost associated with it, but if

746
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:10.079
you go to Onyx hunt and discover it, it's on

747
00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:15.840
x try dot onyxmaps dot com. There's an Elite membership.

748
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:17.760
You can get a free trial to start it off too.

749
00:47:18.079 --> 00:47:21.320
I use the Elite because of some of the features.

750
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:24.519
Matt and I talk about being able to do that.

751
00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:26.519
And it's one hundred dollars a year, which is not

752
00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:28.760
going to break the bank. You know, you could do

753
00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:31.920
a fourteen ninety nine a monthly subscription, or you could

754
00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:34.719
do the year for one hundred dollars. I jumped into

755
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:36.239
the air. It was well worth it. And you can

756
00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:37.960
use it on your laptop, you could use it on

757
00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:40.840
a tablet, use it on your phone. It uses that

758
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:44.519
one accounts very versatile. And again it's a product Matt

759
00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:46.079
and I really believe in, yep.

760
00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:49.320
And there are substantial discounts if you're a first responder

761
00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:49.880
or a veteran.

762
00:47:50.559 --> 00:47:52.920
Now there you go. That's our little cheap plug, not

763
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:58.119
cheap plug, a plug for on ex hunting maps. And

764
00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:01.199
I guess another one. I talk about a good pair

765
00:48:01.239 --> 00:48:03.719
of boots. We talk about this all the time, Matt,

766
00:48:03.920 --> 00:48:07.559
but we're starting to become a member of a certain brigade. Yes,

767
00:48:08.679 --> 00:48:09.800
the Obas brigade.

768
00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:14.519
Yes, yep, absolutely, I got them up in my closet

769
00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:14.920
right there.

770
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:18.400
Matt turned me on to them, and they're moderately priced

771
00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:20.320
pair of boots, but you won't go wrong with them.

772
00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:24.280
They're very comfortable. Alex Pettakov has a pair. You have

773
00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:27.880
a pair. I have a pair. They wear pretty well

774
00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:33.800
and they fit good on the feet, super comfortable, And

775
00:48:33.880 --> 00:48:38.480
I think Matt's probably gonna grab him. Hold still, folks.

776
00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:42.760
He's a tall guy, folks, look at him. He's a

777
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:51.760
sasquatch himself. There, mister Matt big Fella, joining the live

778
00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:53.440
stream once again. Welcome back.

779
00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:57.079
Oh so, what I'm going to show you, guys, is

780
00:48:57.800 --> 00:49:02.320
the difference between Meryl Hikers h Merrill mo app three,

781
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:06.199
which is a decent shoe, a decent boot, but the

782
00:49:06.239 --> 00:49:08.559
difference between that and the Obo. So you see this

783
00:49:09.800 --> 00:49:12.400
and what happens is you get this flexibility. I mean,

784
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:15.119
this shoe can go like this, you know, it go

785
00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:17.719
all the way up to the tongue. That's good if

786
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:22.199
you're walking like on the street, on a paved you know,

787
00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:26.960
on a paved road something like that. This is the

788
00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:31.000
Ebos and it does not go. It's a lot more

789
00:49:32.559 --> 00:49:35.400
firm in its support, so it doesn't go all the

790
00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:39.440
way back. The reason why that's important is when you're

791
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:44.559
on when you're off trail, you want to have a

792
00:49:44.599 --> 00:49:49.519
boot that's more supportive, more firm like this, that's not

793
00:49:49.559 --> 00:49:53.840
going to be, you know, going like this every you know,

794
00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:57.199
over every rock. You you really can't can't have that

795
00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:01.880
because that is going to not just hurt your feet,

796
00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:04.159
but it's also going to hurt your ankles, hurt your legs.

797
00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:07.880
So you want to have something that's a little more

798
00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:15.559
uh you know, sturdy, sturdy, correct, yes, and.

799
00:50:17.960 --> 00:50:21.039
When it does that because I've learned with my boots.

800
00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:23.639
My boots are quite old, but their work boots. I

801
00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:26.159
wear a pair I wear that I wear a pair

802
00:50:26.280 --> 00:50:29.559
of thick socks on them, and I've noticed that when

803
00:50:29.639 --> 00:50:34.159
my my boot bends, it scruffs the top of my shoe,

804
00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:37.320
it scruffs the top of my foot, and I get

805
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:39.760
a blister on the top of my foot.

806
00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:42.320
It's because of the way it does when it when.

807
00:50:42.119 --> 00:50:44.599
It pops your foot up, it scrapes it across the top.

808
00:50:44.679 --> 00:50:46.800
So if you get boots that have more of a

809
00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:50.159
rugged sole, they'll actually And the other thing is is

810
00:50:50.199 --> 00:50:53.000
they make it when you grip the ground, there's less

811
00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:54.679
chances you being on your ass.

812
00:50:54.920 --> 00:50:57.039
Yeah, well you don't want to roll your ankles importantly.

813
00:50:57.119 --> 00:51:04.360
I mean that's you'd be pulling me out. You really

814
00:51:04.440 --> 00:51:06.760
want it to be supportive, and that's why, you know,

815
00:51:06.760 --> 00:51:10.119
we kind of do little episodes like this. You know,

816
00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:13.000
they'll set you back about what maybe two fifty for

817
00:51:13.079 --> 00:51:15.039
a good pair, if that you can get them on

818
00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:19.559
sale from time to time. Yeah, it depends on your

819
00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:22.079
size and which version you go with, because they do

820
00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:24.639
have a higher one and then you know, to give

821
00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:28.159
you some more ankle support. But again, when I have

822
00:51:28.199 --> 00:51:30.239
a pair of Marbles, I have a pair of h

823
00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:33.320
oh bohs. I like those better. They feel better on

824
00:51:33.400 --> 00:51:36.079
my feet. The first weekend I bought them, I wore them.

825
00:51:36.079 --> 00:51:38.079
And normally you don't want to break a pair of

826
00:51:38.119 --> 00:51:41.679
shoes in like that, and I did and they didn't

827
00:51:41.679 --> 00:51:44.480
bother me at all. No blisters, know, nothing, very comfortable.

828
00:51:44.920 --> 00:51:48.000
And again I always think Matt because it was his recommendation,

829
00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:52.320
I have no regrets. So put that on your list, folks,

830
00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:54.039
And you know, in the show notes, we'll try to

831
00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:57.159
get some links to the products we're talking about in

832
00:51:57.199 --> 00:52:02.480
there when they get posted. This week above and beyond

833
00:52:02.519 --> 00:52:05.559
that is, as you know, we can start talking about maps.

834
00:52:07.800 --> 00:52:13.440
Garmin's really up the ante with their GPS mapping watches,

835
00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:18.119
the smart watches. Matt's got one. I'm still on an

836
00:52:18.119 --> 00:52:24.760
Apple Ultra, but aside from their sixteen day battery, it's

837
00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:29.760
actually forty seven days. I believe in GPS mode, and

838
00:52:29.800 --> 00:52:32.119
the sizings on them are pretty decent, anywhere from forty

839
00:52:32.119 --> 00:52:34.639
three to fifty one millimeter. They got a good screen

840
00:52:34.679 --> 00:52:37.320
on them, and the mapping software in them is, you know,

841
00:52:37.400 --> 00:52:40.840
second to none. It's got that good Garment brand and

842
00:52:40.880 --> 00:52:44.159
the smart features work fantastica and if you're into fitness,

843
00:52:44.159 --> 00:52:47.199
some of the features you have for fitness are you know,

844
00:52:47.840 --> 00:52:51.039
up to par with the with the Apple Watch. But

845
00:52:51.159 --> 00:52:54.599
it gives you that rugged, ruggedness. You're not gonna be

846
00:52:54.679 --> 00:52:57.199
really worried, afraid to wear it outdoors and break it.

847
00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:00.800
And that'll set you back about eleven or bucks for

848
00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:04.679
the Phoenix eight the Amalid screen, but I'll tell you guys,

849
00:53:05.280 --> 00:53:07.119
it's slick and it's worth that. You can pick that

850
00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:09.960
right up on Amazon or even from Garman's website.

851
00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:14.519
I have I have the instinct too, and I don't

852
00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:17.159
have the Solar one. I just have the regular instinct too,

853
00:53:17.920 --> 00:53:19.840
and I think that was about three hundred bucks.

854
00:53:20.159 --> 00:53:22.159
Yeah, I mean, and there's a there's a watch out

855
00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:25.480
there for every price point. Of course, you know me,

856
00:53:25.559 --> 00:53:27.960
I picked the fancy one. Forkers a little bougie when

857
00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:31.760
it comes to that stuff. But uh no, I mean,

858
00:53:31.800 --> 00:53:33.719
and there's just a whole slew of things we talked about.

859
00:53:33.760 --> 00:53:35.239
We try to keep it to a few of us.

860
00:53:35.320 --> 00:53:40.119
Vance had put in uh polarized yellow polarized glasses for

861
00:53:40.480 --> 00:53:46.679
by night Sight in a vintage audio cassette recorder that

862
00:53:46.760 --> 00:53:49.119
are out there. And you know, as we've talked about

863
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:54.280
some of the luck that's happened with you know, we

864
00:53:54.320 --> 00:53:56.320
go back to the Sierra Sounds and how they use

865
00:53:56.440 --> 00:53:59.400
kind of like real to real and you know, analog equipment.

866
00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:02.800
Is there something to be said for analog versus digital?

867
00:54:03.159 --> 00:54:08.079
And our Vance is you know, trying to get more

868
00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:10.400
folks to try that out. So going back to those

869
00:54:10.480 --> 00:54:14.199
vintage recorders with the cassette tapes never hurts to try.

870
00:54:14.679 --> 00:54:17.000
And they're very economical. You can pit them up just

871
00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:20.000
about anywhere, starting at about thirty dollars and probably more if

872
00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:23.000
you could find them at a thrift store or a

873
00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:25.840
you know pawn shop or you know second hand store.

874
00:54:25.880 --> 00:54:27.960
I'm sure there's a bunch of them still hanging around

875
00:54:28.440 --> 00:54:30.920
that you could pick up. And of course he said, ah,

876
00:54:31.440 --> 00:54:33.480
what did he put a He put a rifle.

877
00:54:33.119 --> 00:54:34.039
In their matt.

878
00:54:37.239 --> 00:54:39.599
That may be more your expertise to talk about.

879
00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:41.559
Well what rifle did he put in?

880
00:54:42.199 --> 00:54:44.440
Lever action rifle forty five seventy?

881
00:54:45.519 --> 00:54:48.840
Yeah, yeah, you shoot your eye out, kid, You'll shoot

882
00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:50.320
your eye out, yeah, exactly.

883
00:54:50.880 --> 00:54:52.239
And of course money.

884
00:54:52.360 --> 00:54:54.599
Vans put money on there, because you know, all these

885
00:54:54.639 --> 00:54:57.480
things take money. So if you're looking for that, really

886
00:54:57.519 --> 00:55:00.719
that last minute gift, what better is there thing? Cash?

887
00:55:01.119 --> 00:55:03.679
Yes, well yeah than cash.

888
00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:05.519
That you can go and spend on your own bigfoot stuff.

889
00:55:05.559 --> 00:55:07.280
But hopefully we gave you a little teas and a

890
00:55:07.280 --> 00:55:10.760
little primer of some great gifts you can get. And

891
00:55:10.840 --> 00:55:13.480
like I said, we'll put links in the show notes

892
00:55:13.559 --> 00:55:16.000
so folks know. I wrote them all down here, so

893
00:55:16.119 --> 00:55:19.199
folks know. Guys, thank you so much tonight for popping.

894
00:55:19.280 --> 00:55:20.960
Can you believe this hour is almost done already?

895
00:55:21.239 --> 00:55:21.519
Yep.

896
00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:24.880
Yeah, it's the last show for twenty twenty five and

897
00:55:25.199 --> 00:55:27.639
our twenty twenty four. When we come back, it'll be

898
00:55:27.679 --> 00:55:32.320
twenty twenty five, going into a whole new slewid adventures

899
00:55:32.360 --> 00:55:34.159
next year. But I guess you know, I'll leave us

900
00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:36.079
with that thought. You know, we should all try to

901
00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:38.760
spend more time in the woods next year. All get

902
00:55:38.800 --> 00:55:42.239
out there, live a little better, get disconnect, get our

903
00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:44.679
minds fresh, and it just takes some time to smell

904
00:55:44.719 --> 00:55:47.920
the roses. Literally, go out and smell the roses. Get

905
00:55:47.920 --> 00:55:50.679
ourselves some mental refreshers so we can have a great year.

906
00:55:51.280 --> 00:55:53.840
And you know, respect and love one another just a

907
00:55:53.840 --> 00:55:55.760
little more. Henry, why don't you take us out with

908
00:55:55.800 --> 00:55:57.000
those dulcet tones.

909
00:55:58.280 --> 00:55:59.519
You all be good, be good.

910
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:04.440
Merry Christmas, Mary, christ Marry Christmas.
