the opinion of the host, sponsors, or affiliates of the Sasquatch Experience.

00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:20.480
As always, listener discretion is advised. We got someone or something growing around

4
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:29.199
out here? Does a legend walk
among us working in the forests of our

5
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:35.719
world? Did you see what it
was? Well? It a person or

6
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.679
an animal? Or I can't go. Oh, I know that my thunder

7
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:41.840
light came on and I did.
Happened to glen and see the thing running

8
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.640
across the yard A good fight man
or nothing works like a man. I

9
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:54.719
don't know what it was. For
over fifteen years, we've talked with scientists,

10
00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.679
researchers, investigators, and witnesses trying
to gain insight and truth around the

11
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:10.840
existence of this mysterious entity. Jesus
quite big Karl, Hello, get somebody

12
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:14.519
out here. What's going to announce? There's got to invention about six foot

13
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.680
nine? I don't know, easy
announce there. Yeah, I'm working right

14
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:23.040
away. Oh, okay, hand
on her, Yeah, got you're bigger?

15
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:34.560
Okay, what's he doing in your
yard? We're gonna do you join

16
00:01:34.680 --> 00:02:00.959
us as we continue into the investigation
of the Sasquatch Experience and good evening everyone.

17
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:07.560
Welcome to The Sasquatch Experience Monday,
December eighteenth, twenty twenty three and

18
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:13.840
for the first time ever, the
saf first ever Sasquatch Experience. Last Minute

19
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.680
Shopper's Guide for the special Squatch or
in Your Life episode. Yes, that's

20
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:20.639
the title. We were really into
it and decided, you know what,

21
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.280
Porker already has a hard time saying
everybody's names. Let's create a title that

22
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.719
makes it just as difficult as well. But you know, I've been known

23
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:30.319
to be a little senatorial at times, and I could fill a buster like

24
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.599
the best of them. And it's
just great to be here with you guys

25
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.240
tonight. A fun show, something
different. So if you're tuning in to

26
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:43.000
you know, hear about the normal
business of sas squatchry. Probably not what

27
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.159
you're expecting the night, but we
got some pretty cool things to talk about.

28
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.759
I know Matt's been excited for this
episode for a month. Absolutely,

29
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:55.000
we got some great shit. Girl, it gets some great shit to throw.

30
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.639
I love that right there. Though. Homes Clutch Network folks, if

31
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.199
you don't share your name with Streamyard
we can't see who you are, so

32
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:12.120
make sure you do that so we
can recognize you as a functional human being

33
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.439
and not just a random Facebook user. We appreciate you and love you,

34
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.960
and thank you for stopping by and
spending some time with us tonight. Guys,

35
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.879
we're gonna have a fun show tonight, you know, and of course

36
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.080
there's going to be an episode for
folks next week on Christmas. It won't

37
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:29.560
be live, but it will be
there for them as we talk about holiday

38
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.159
encounters. We're gonna have a lot
of fun. So, without further ado,

39
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:38.800
in the quote Kelsey Grammar and down
periscope, let's kick this pig.

40
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:43.759
What we got going on? Guys? How are you be good? I'm

41
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:47.400
doing well? Yeah, right,
wonderful. I haven't seen you guys in

42
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:54.479
forever. Leave it the page.
You're a little bit more hair since the

43
00:03:54.599 --> 00:04:00.319
last time. Tell you, well, that's a lie, that's a lie.

44
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.879
But no, we got some good
stuff talking about tonight. So you

45
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:08.520
know, it's the holiday season and
if you love your significant others or the

46
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.280
folks in your life who are enthusiast
or researchers, then you're really going to

47
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:17.560
enjoy this episode tonight. Matt has
particularly done his homework and dove deep to

48
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.279
get us some info. And when
we post the show notes with the live

49
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:26.279
show tomorrow, we'll have links to
all the products there so we can make

50
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.480
sure you can go get them because
there are some shopping days left, so

51
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.639
don't be alarmed. We're going to
make sure you have the good you need

52
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:35.680
to get this done. But before
we start off, I guess if I

53
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.920
was going to recommend one thing for
Christmas this year, folks, you need

54
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.000
to get some books for the ones
you love. And we've got the phenomenal

55
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:48.199
Sasquatch probably going to be the Bigfoot
Book of the Year maybe or Abominable Snowman

56
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.879
in California probably going to be a
toss up between those two books. And

57
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.759
where's the book man, Henry May
Henry, which one do you think is

58
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.160
gonna end up being the big Foot
Book of the year. Actually, Lord

59
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.439
Culmin's already chosen this Cryptosiology Book of
the Year and it is the Abable Snowman

60
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:09.360
of California by Justin Severs. So
Lauren's already beat us to the punch.

61
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:15.399
So yees, look at that already
an announcement. You know he wasn't wasting.

62
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.879
You know, I'm a little slight. What if my book was happened

63
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:26.560
to pop out yet this year?
Still time a love still got Yeah,

64
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.079
twelve days that you know, you
know what, I'll donate to that museum.

65
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.199
I'm sure i'll get crypto book of
the Year too. Anyway, we'll

66
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:39.879
bring this so a Bominable Snowman in
California, Dustin Severs, that's going to

67
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:41.759
be the book of the year.
Folks, go out and get your copy

68
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.639
on Amazon, Barnes, and Noble, anywhere books are sold. Love that,

69
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.839
Love that, so, Henry,
thanks for dropping that tid. But

70
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:54.000
Henry, since you were the first
one to speak up, what's your recommendations

71
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:57.079
for your Christmas shopping this year?
What are you get in that special someone

72
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:03.600
in your life? Well, my
dad doesn't know this, but I am

73
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:11.759
getting him a signed copy of Where
Bigfoot Walks Crossing the Dark Divide by Robert

74
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.199
Michael Pine, which I just got
through rereading, which is an excellent book,

75
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:20.399
by the way, not just about
Sasquatch, but about ecology and the

76
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:29.800
woods and preserving that ecology. Henry, I think you just build the beans

77
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:31.839
and saying that your father doesn't listen
to the show. So he's actually going

78
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:38.879
to get a ump call from us. But you weren't shy to blow yours

79
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:45.199
Christmas present on the air. No, make sure that I love you,

80
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.519
Henry. That was phenomenal. That's
great, Scott's This phenomenal Sasquatch is great.

81
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:53.160
Looking forward to reading The Abominable Snowman. That's on the bookshelf, Scott,

82
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:57.279
you won't be disappointed. It's another
Volumes book, but you know it's

83
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.199
it's definitely worth it. What else
you got, Henry? What else?

84
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.639
There's got to be something else that
you What do you want for Christmas?

85
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:14.439
Socks? I got socks. I
just let's see what do I want?

86
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.920
The best I can do for you
guys is uh, you know, empty

87
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:24.800
bread bags, wonder bread bags to
put over your socks and then you can

88
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:31.959
go trumps around in the snow the
time old honor. I have done it.

89
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.079
You know, I'm not picky.
I just you know, whatever I

90
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:40.560
get, I'm what he's thankful for. I guess god, Henry, you're

91
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:44.319
such a nice guy. So she
can be five five, but she you

92
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:50.680
know, Henry's looking for a fIF
folks looking for a f keep it clean.

93
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:56.319
It's a family show. Trying to
get Henry hookups. Should have named

94
00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:00.279
the next week's episode that one Holiday
Hookups for Henry Man. Anyway, Oh,

95
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:05.360
I guess not only fans here,
folks. Let's keep it hank Er,

96
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.040
what about you? You know,
you're an interesting fellow, and you're

97
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.560
somebody who enjoys not just sasquatch,
but a wide variety of things. But

98
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.319
since this is about bigfoot and cryptozoological
phenomena, what do you think I do

99
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.920
need socks? I bring that up
because I need some winter ie socks.

100
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:28.040
But I would say some warm clothing, but yet flexible clothing this year.

101
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.240
I mean that's one of the things
that that I really found to need because

102
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.279
I've been doing more outdoors during the
winter, which Forker, you know me

103
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:41.960
for years, outdoors in winter are
not one of my faith. Also,

104
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:48.360
i'd like to have, like,
you know, get get maybe some better,

105
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.960
some better cameras for you know,
my area, you know, my

106
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.600
land, not my area, you
know, because i've actually been, I've

107
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.360
been, I've invested a few other
cameras, and I've noticed that you put

108
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.240
a little extra nickel into it,
you get a lot more better features.

109
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.120
And those features are worth it,
you know. The one camera, I

110
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.279
can actually look at the pictures while
it's on the wall. With the other

111
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.960
ones, I have to almost switch
everything out and then download everything and whatever.

112
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:22.679
So that's nice. Last year I
got my Red Rider BB gun some

113
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:30.360
set for that. You shoot your
eye out, kid, Yeah, yeah,

114
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.840
I'm good, you know, Baker. One thing we haven't tested out

115
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.519
in the land only because we know
it's not great for service out there.

116
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.600
Or these cellular game cams and Matt, I believe you actually have one that's

117
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:48.919
out and about it and how do
you rate those like? And I think

118
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:54.320
they're really important because if you have
an area you're trying to follow and you

119
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:56.840
can't be there all the time,
something triggering that and sending that signal could

120
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:03.000
be very time saving and pretty exciting
when that thing goes off. Oh sure,

121
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:11.000
I have Wild Game Invasions, I
believe it is, and which is

122
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.720
a really good brand. It was
also a lot less expensive than some of

123
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:22.519
the others. I don't get some
of the features that I would get in

124
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.600
a two hundred and three hundred dollars
camera, but for the price I paid

125
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:33.559
for it, I am getting those
pictures. And what happens is you don't

126
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:39.720
get the pictures when they happen,
so they'll hold the pictures and then you

127
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:46.559
set two or three times during the
day for those pictures to be uploaded via

128
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:52.639
the cellular network. And so if
I get something at night, I won't

129
00:10:52.120 --> 00:11:00.320
get anything with it until nine o'clock
in the morning. Yes, but at

130
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.159
least with that, you know,
especially for for where we have it.

131
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.600
If somebody's coming out there at you
know, two o'clock in the morning,

132
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:16.240
three o'clock in the morning, it's
probably something that's not good because it is

133
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.240
it is, you know, pretty
far up there in the mountains. So

134
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:28.240
yeah, but but it really again, if you're gonna pay the extra money,

135
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:31.399
uh, you aren't going to get
more features. The only thing though,

136
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.960
is it's a game camera. And
the one thing I always say about

137
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.759
game cameras is you have to get
a cable lock for them, And depending

138
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.000
on where you're at, you may
even want to get a bear box.

139
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.879
But I know with me, I
I have the cable uh at the cable

140
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:52.879
lock, and I I hide them
pretty well. I try to find a

141
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.279
tree that's going to match it.
I try to find an area where you

142
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:01.000
know it'll get a good view,
and that way, uh, you know,

143
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:05.919
you're not you're not so worried about
people stealing it, and people will

144
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:13.000
steal those those cameras, so uh, it's inevitable. But at least having

145
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.600
that cable lock is insurance. And
uh, there are people that would come

146
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.879
out there with the with you know, bolt cutters, wirecutters and try to

147
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.399
try to get that off. But
you know, again, you're paying for

148
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.840
the subscription. You're gonna get the
pictures. And I've seen actually people that

149
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.759
have had their their game camera sole
and their cellular game camera stolen and a

150
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.960
year later they're getting pictures of a
guy's face. So it does. It

151
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:43.679
does happen. But but if like
an area like uh as we call it

152
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.919
the land, you know on on
James's Facebook, Uh, you know,

153
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:54.559
I think with that you're you're pretty
good with the neighbors. I think once

154
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.039
you have cameras up, yes,
if you have five cameras up, they're

155
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:03.480
probably not gonna mess with it.
So and that reasonably except for the one

156
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:09.080
that's like as you directly drive in. Yes, So yeah, I was

157
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:13.639
gonna say with if you trust your
neighbors enough, you know, I would

158
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.759
still put the cable locks up,
only because of the fact that it may

159
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:18.759
not be your neighbors, but maybe
somebody that's coming through that. You know,

160
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.480
we'll try to take it by at
least having having U that secured on

161
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.960
there would be would be fantastic.
And again it's another insurance for your you

162
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.320
know, to make sure your camera
stays where it's supposed to be. Most

163
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:39.399
of my cameras aren't as much for
the security phase. It's more to some

164
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.240
of it's to document when I'm doing. Some of it's because a lot of

165
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.559
the video that me and Forker get
now and then of us doing things is

166
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.799
actually from one of those cameras.
But it's also to document the animals.

167
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:58.080
Yes, and like a lot of
times the pictures the one camera I had

168
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.159
to I have to move completely and
cut down part of a tree because the

169
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:09.240
swaying brush within like four hours.
A whole memory card and a battery within

170
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:16.200
like six hours because it was swaying
back and forth. But like, now,

171
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.080
does your I had a couple of
questions in your camera it says only

172
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.840
reports what every four to six hours
or something like that. Does it time

173
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.000
stamp? Oh yeah, yeah,
I'll get time stamps. It will actually

174
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:31.960
show me, uh, you know, the time it goes into the moon

175
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:35.799
phase, it'll do temperature, so
it goes through the whole nine yards.

176
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.919
That way, if you're trying to
pattern animals such as deer, you know,

177
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.919
you would be able to to kind
of get an idea then that you

178
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.399
know, when it does get colder, they're going to be going this route,

179
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:50.879
or if if it gets warmer,
they're going to be staying in this

180
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:56.799
particular area. And of course,
obviously if you if you get something else

181
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:00.480
that comes in that camera, you
know you you do, you have that

182
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:05.200
stamp, you know, and which
is important I think for the integrity of

183
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:07.799
the of the photo. You know, one thing, you're going to want

184
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.600
to make sure you pick up plenty
of as batteries as well. Yes,

185
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.279
you get these cameras, some of
them take up to twelve I posted an

186
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:22.159
article from Field and Stream here in
the chat for our listeners the Reconics hyper

187
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:28.360
Fire two twelve double A batteries.
Guys, is that take a dozen batteries.

188
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.759
But now that gives you some pretty
decent time. But understanding, like

189
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:37.120
Matt saying, if it's not a
I'm sure you can set them to whenever

190
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:43.840
they want to deliver your your photographs. But something to consider also when you're

191
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.919
buying these cameras how many battery it
takes. And batteries are also up thirty

192
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:52.360
to forty percent in price over last
year too, So as we talk about

193
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.039
these things, one of the things
you want to know is make sure batteries

194
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.000
are definitely on that list, and
if if you're for worker, I do

195
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:06.120
recommend the Energizer lithium batteries. There
is something to be said for buying a

196
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:10.559
brand. I've done the research,
I've looked at them all, I've done

197
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:12.240
all the reviews, I've tried them
all, and I've had the best luck

198
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:17.399
with the Energizers. Some people live
by the Panasonic. The Energizers have always

199
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.519
been good by me. The Advanced
Lithium they're the silver and blue batteries.

200
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:23.360
They're not the cheapest, but they
do last a while in these cameras.

201
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.639
I use the best by batteries.
You do when we go through them,

202
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:41.440
like can't that's the kind of raio
bat Batteries are important, guys. A

203
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.159
lot of these things we're talking about
requires some power, right, and solar

204
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:51.279
is not always an option for some
of these devices, which you think with

205
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:59.159
the cellular you'd probably want some soore
two of solar charge up, but it's

206
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:02.399
not always practice with every single model
of these. And the other thing you

207
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:06.400
want to make sure you have is
a decent memory card too, not the

208
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.279
ones that are on sale for eight
ninety nine all the time. You want

209
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:12.119
to make sure you've got a decent
one that can keep up with the uh

210
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:17.200
you know, the speeds of the
camera so you don't get that delay in

211
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:22.000
processing. It does make a difference, and sometimes you even need a covering

212
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:23.960
for on top to keep the rain, you know, at least not directly

213
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.160
on it. So aside from the
main product, you want to make sure

214
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:32.519
you assessorize too. And of course
one gift you can always get that Squatch

215
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:36.799
in your life is a subscription to
our Patreon for as little as two dollars

217
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.680
say mostly because we do put them
in the news, so mostly ad free

218
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.880
shows. Patreon dot com forward slash
Sasquatch experience. How is that for a

219
00:17:48.960 --> 00:18:00.319
shameless plug? Guys for tameless So
while we're still in cam is Matt,

220
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.000
what else you have? I know
you have a lot and I don't And

221
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:07.160
I'll let you get started. Then
we'll take a little bit of a break

222
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:08.880
and we'll come back and then we'll
kind of go around the horn again.

223
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:14.799
But go ahead, go ahead,
mad Well. The big thing is is

224
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:21.680
electronics. So one thing that I
really uh, you know, don't go

225
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:26.000
into woods with without is a garment
in reach, you know, which is

226
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.880
my satellite communicator. If I'm in
an area with no cell service, uh,

227
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.839
and I need to reach out to
someone, I could do that.

228
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:42.160
It'll it'll do a satellite communication to
that person, to people from your contacts

229
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:49.240
list. If you happen to get
hurt or you need someone to you need

230
00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:53.960
emergency services, there's an SOS button. They will contact you as soon as

231
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:59.839
possible. Don't they'll know your location. Uh. It's a fantastic tool and

232
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.480
something to keep you safe when you're
out in the woods. Another thing was

233
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:11.759
Onyx Maps. You know, having
the Onyx map app is fantastic And honestly,

234
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.160
you can get the the really kind
of the you know, the in

235
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:23.359
state maps for really decent price for
a subscription to me. You know,

236
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:27.640
it's I think like twenty nine dollars
a year or so. It's it really

237
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:33.960
is a great, great tool to
have. It gives you property lines,

238
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.000
but for us, we're going in
state forest, but it's giving you the

239
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:42.279
you could do satellite image of that
area, you could do the regular contour

240
00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:48.839
lines, you could do everything with
that, So that's always good to have.

241
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:56.440
And then going outside of the electronics
I was looking at, and this

242
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.880
is a company I I I really
have grown to love is everly Stock.

243
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:07.000
They make great backpacks, whether it's
you know, just a day pack that

244
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:11.759
you're going to carry or if you're
going to go out and do a night

245
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.640
or two or three in the woods. They do have some frame packs that

246
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:22.319
are exceptional and I do also use
Mystery Ranch backpacks, but I found the

247
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:27.319
everly Stock really has a good blend
of you know, your everyday day pack

248
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:33.519
which I carry along with with the
frame packs if I'm going to be out

249
00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:42.480
doing it overnight backpacking trip. The
funniest thing that I wanted to talk about

250
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:49.440
was evidence kits. So and I
don't know if we if we I didn't

251
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:52.359
get to put this in, you
know for the links, if maybe we

252
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:59.480
can add it later. Is Searchy
S I R C h I E dot

253
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:07.240
com and they sell evidence kits for
law enforcement. But pretty much anyone could

254
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:14.880
could purchase those kits. We had
a little incident last year which I'm a

255
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:22.119
little I kind of put my head
down about. We were at Monsterfest and

256
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:27.759
so there's something that Searchy sells for
about twenty two dollars. It's called the

257
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:36.519
Shaken Cast Dentilstone Impression Kit. And
what it is. It's basically a bag

258
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:41.519
and it has a water bladder in
there that all you have to do is

259
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:48.400
squeeze it and it gets the water
into mixing with the denialstone and you just

260
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:53.799
mix it up and you place it
into the cast denialstone. By the way,

261
00:21:53.960 --> 00:22:00.480
is besides hydrocl Deentilstone's your next up, you know, with going with

262
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:07.160
with any sort of impressions. So
anyways, I figured when we went to

263
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.240
the Monsterfest, I was gonna make
my own. So I bought ziplac bags.

264
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:17.119
I put white powdery uh plaster or
paris in a bag and a bottle

265
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.240
of water. You know what.
It really doesn't look all that good,

266
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:23.400
especially after after I saw them being
uh in the in the line of work

267
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:26.960
dime in I'm like, oh my
god, this is going to look really

268
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:33.519
really bad. If I'm if I'm
stopped anywhere. But anyways, if you

269
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:38.640
buy the Shaking Cast again it's called
the Shaking Cast Hardcore deal Stone Kit,

270
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:44.720
you can buy a couple of these
bags and just throw them in your backpack,

271
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.160
throw them in your day pack,
you know, keep them in your

272
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:53.359
truck, and that way they're all
set. They're all ready to go if

273
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:59.599
you are to find any sort of
impressions, footprint impressions that you want to

274
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:03.160
get cast. So at least with
that, it's not a zip like bag.

275
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:07.799
It's a much stronger bag. You
can mix everything up, throw it

276
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:12.240
in and get that set. So
and there was a couple other things that

277
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:18.160
that I wanted to kind of push
to as well, what I call consider

278
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:22.039
non tangible gifts. So these aren't
the gifts that, Okay, here's a

279
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:30.680
box you know with some electronics or
an evidence processing uh kit. But these

280
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:34.440
are you know, other things that
I think, you know, really anyone

281
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:40.960
in in this line of research would
love. And that would be uh,

282
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:47.039
you know, getting Ohio Bigfoot Conference
VIP tickets. You know, if you

283
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:49.720
were to get those, gift them, keep them for yourself. You know,

284
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:56.839
that's that's awesome, Getting uh the
STM Monster Fest tickets I really found

285
00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:04.559
the STM Monster Fest to be fantastic. That is my favorite place this year,

286
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:10.680
last year, and coming up for
this year. Uh, definitely an

287
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:14.519
outstanding, outstanding conference. The one
thing is is when you go to these

288
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:18.000
conferences, you're you're you know,
you're meeting all these people you know,

289
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:21.880
uh, face to face. You
can you can sit there, have a

290
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:26.440
good conversation with them. You know, we can talk about research, you

291
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:33.880
know, and you're not gonna get
that from you know, from really any

292
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.000
other experience. I mean I sat
with Cliff Brockman and and showed them maps

293
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:44.559
and and he's sent there after I'm
telling him about these encounters a person had.

294
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:47.799
He went to the map and said, this is the area right here.

295
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:51.839
I want you to just keep walking
that area. You know, do

296
00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:56.519
that all the time. And uh, you know, like I said,

297
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.119
just doing Uh, going to a
conference like that is amazing. And then

298
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:07.920
finally with Cliff Rockman getting a gift
membership for like the NABC Museum, you

299
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:14.480
know that really has some additional benefits, especially with the with the videos that

300
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:22.440
they do and some of the information
that comes out. It's really a great

301
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:26.319
present for you know, the person
that's involved with big Foot in your life.

302
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:30.960
It was a very good recommendations.
Matt just fantastic. I told you

303
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:34.720
he was really excited, folks to
share it was it was and I have

304
00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:37.720
some comments to add to those two. But first and before we go to

305
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:41.680
dvance, I want to take us

321
00:26:52.119 --> 00:27:06.319
Who's team a symbol. See,
you've got the two facts that cannot be

322
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:11.799
in any way. Child. Something
makes huge, somewhat human like footprints,

323
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:18.119
and it should be possible to find
out what that something is. And also,

324
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:26.119
all over the world and throughout history, and very much so at the

325
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:33.480
present time, people have been describing
seeing these very large hair covered by a

326
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:38.599
few hours. Ah. Yes,
the late Great John Green with an E

327
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:45.720
at the end of Green. The
two important points footprints and witness sightings.

328
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:49.480
Well, Happy holiday Monday to you
all. I hope your lights are bright

329
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:55.960
and festive and your balls of holly
are not from a collie well, because

330
00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:02.400
that would be awkward. This is
the big Foot Bullhorn exclusively on the Sasquatch

331
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:10.960
experience. You know, I attended
our annual corporate Christmas Gala this weekend and

332
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:18.599
our corporation has acquired a couple other
companies. So there's new faces that I

333
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:22.240
haven't talked to yet, and it's
really the only time that I get to

334
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:27.000
see new faces over the year because
I'm not in their offices and I don't

335
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:32.559
want to make a long story even
longer. But nonetheless, I was kind

336
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:37.480
of surprised at the amount of people
that are just not familiar with the Patterson

337
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.880
Gimlin film. Now, they are
very aware of the Bigfoot because it's pretty

338
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.160
well spread like peanut butter in our
culture, but they were just not aware

339
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:48.759
of the Patterson Gimlin film. And
I'm looking to get feedback from people and

340
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:53.680
their first opinion of seeing it.
But again, this was a Christmas gala,

341
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:59.039
not really the place for me to
stand in front of everybody and show

342
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:03.240
them a video in front of two
hundred people that might be again awkward,

343
00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:07.720
but I digress. So I guess
we all have a job to do now

344
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:12.480
and share that film with others and
get their feedback at a first time watch

345
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:18.200
see what they think real not real. I would show the stabilized version,

346
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:25.440
but nonetheless, last week I shared
a story with you Moose on the Loose

347
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:32.160
that traveled from Canada into North Dakota
through south Dakota into Iowa and then started

348
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:37.920
heading back north again up into Minnesota. A well, a similar story has

349
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:42.039
happened right down the street from me. If you don't know where me lives,

350
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:48.960
I'm thirty miles due west of the
city of Chicago in northern Illinois and

351
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:56.480
a bull elk was right in our
area here. Unfortunately it was hit and

352
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:00.319
killed by a semi truck. Now, the reason why I bring that up

353
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:07.119
is animals do not know what boundaries
are and state lines, and they don't

354
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:14.200
They just migrate and move around in
areas of their climate and environment. Clearly,

355
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:18.920
this thousand pound bull elk had plenty
to eat. And I'm bringing that

356
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:22.680
up for another reason because the densest
population of elk is in the state of

357
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:30.720
Colorado, but to have one here, it's not as common anymore. But

358
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:37.839
where Chicago O'Hare International Airport is,
the village right on its border is called

359
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:42.640
Elk Grove Village. Yes, elk
used to roam the lands here long before

360
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:47.519
we came in and encroached on it. And I'm not vilifying the humans,

361
00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:52.119
I'm not, but they had moved
on. So here's one thousand pounds elk

362
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.359
bull Elk big rack on it?
Yes, is it roun you talk about

363
00:30:56.400 --> 00:31:03.119
a big rack on the radio?
I think, yeah, I kind of

364
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:07.400
lost my train of thought. But
hey, bison used to roam this area

365
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.519
too, and fortunately again, right
down the street from me, no more

366
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:15.920
than three miles from my house,
there is a bison preserve. Of course,

367
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:19.480
it's a fenced in area, but
they have plenty of land to rome

368
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:26.160
at the Fermi Lab where they do
all their scientific Department of Energy experiments.

369
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.640
I don't know why I said it
that way, but it's interesting, but

370
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:34.279
yes, these creatures used to roam
here and through encroachment, have moved on.

371
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:38.240
Why do I bring this up again, Well, I think it's all

372
00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:42.799
kind of relevant to the bigfoot thing
too, because here you're talking about a

373
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:48.240
creature that's just doing its thing and
its environment and is not really aware of

374
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:55.319
the dangers of the human clearly because
the semi truck get it out and killed

375
00:31:55.359 --> 00:32:00.039
it. I think that a little
bit higher superior and tell Jones, as

376
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:05.680
a bipedal creature knows how to move
away, knows how to stay hidden,

377
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:15.039
knows how not to interact deliberately with
dangerous humans unless there's something enticing to draw

378
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:20.240
them in when we come back.
Well, it looks like Pennsylvania is at

379
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:40.960
it again or they're gonna be.
You're listening to the Sasquatch experience. This

380
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:45.160
portion of the show is being brought
to you by Ed's Almost Good Beer.

381
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:52.279
Remember Ed's Almost Good Beer was brood
in God's Country when God wasn't looking.

382
00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:58.519
We take you back now to the
auditions for Star Trek the Next Generation.

what are we up to their Pennsylvania.

390
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:50.839
Oh, it looks like the Forest
County Bigfoot Festival is coming in twenty twenty

391
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:54.880
four at June seventh, eighth am
ninth. We're not that far out.

392
00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:59.480
You're all gonna get new calendar soon
and you can write it down on the

393
00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:02.720
calendar, and I will be making
announcements again on the big Foot bull Horn

394
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:08.360
of these up and coming events.
But the location of this is in Marionville,

395
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:16.320
Pennsylvania. Guest speakers are going to
be Michael Cook oh Man, Dave

396
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:22.280
Wargo, Gwen Purcell, and Bill
Rigby. Thanks again for listening to this

397
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:30.840
edition the Bigfoot Bullhorn right here on
the Sasquatch experience and as always, what

398
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:34.440
are you going to do till next
time? That's right, keep those toes

399
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:54.559
in the mud. Thank you Vance
for that news break. Appreciate that.

400
00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:59.960
And as folks you see the Small
Town Monsters kickstarter starting for next Februar,

401
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.519
we're more important now than ever that
we make sure that we help small Town

402
00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:08.639
Monsters hit their goals for next year. They got some great titles coming out.

403
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:12.480
We want to make sure we're supporting
our friends. We'll be at small

404
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:15.840
Town Monster Fast representing we're a sponsor
at that event. Are going to be

405
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:20.840
at the Ohio Bigfoot Conference, we're
sponsors for that event. We're going to

406
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:22.880
be at the Big Ones next year
and I'm looking forward to it, spending

407
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:27.159
some time with the team, going
out there rubbing elbows. I love being

408
00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:30.920
out there with our listeners. I
love being out there with the researchers.

409
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:35.599
Like you said, Matt, there's
just something being able to just have a

410
00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:40.559
conversation absolute researchers and pick their brains
and share. It's not always practical for

411
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:45.480
everybody. There is a certain amount
of clout we have in the community for

412
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:51.480
what we do. But I can
tell you I've been I've seen all these

413
00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:55.320
folks be very approachable with individuals that
want to come talk to them. They

414
00:35:55.440 --> 00:36:00.039
take your sightings pretty credibly, and
they're just great people to be around.

415
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:04.039
So if you get an opportunity to
go to these events, get the tickets.

416
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:06.599
They're great gifts. They're just a
good time, And then you can

417
00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:08.320
even come hang out with us.
We don't care. We were pretty chill

418
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:15.559
guys to hang out. We lost
James Baker. He'll be back maybe at

419
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:17.679
some point. He Oh, there
he is. Look, it's like I

420
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:23.360
summoned him. That was creepy af
what's up? What's up? Bake my

421
00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:30.519
head? Sid died? Did it? I don't know how long? Well

422
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:36.239
he's here anyhow. As we were
talking about before the break man, Matt,

423
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:38.400
you really set it up and put
some great products out there. On

424
00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:43.440
X Maps is something I wanted to
touch back on because I think that they're

425
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:49.159
one of the best mapping programs for
what we do. Being able to delineate

426
00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:52.360
between private and public properties, being
able to state parks and so on and

427
00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:55.960
so forth. You have a real
idea of where you're at, and it

428
00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:01.079
kind of eliminates that need for not
that there's ever a need to trespass,

429
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:07.039
but you know that that potential for
trespassing. One thing. One thing that

430
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:12.280
I found too with ONYX maps,
when you're using the hybrid mode where you're

431
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:17.079
using contours with the satellite imagery,
what I'll do is I'll actually zoom in

432
00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:22.599
as much as I can, and
they'll be trails uh that you can see,

433
00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:29.000
whether they're old logging roads or uh
uh you know, maybe a pipeline.

434
00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:32.440
Uh. But you'll see these and
they're not going to be put on

435
00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:36.519
any sort of map. Uh.
You're not going to find that on your

436
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:43.159
on your typical uh you know uh
uh USGS map or or anything like that.

437
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:45.239
You're you're gonna be able to see
these, you know, through Onyx

438
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:51.239
uh from that satellite imagery. And
I'll tell you it's really put us into

439
00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:55.480
some interesting places. Uh. And
you can share waypoints with individuals, not

440
00:37:55.840 --> 00:38:00.320
in the entire groups of people.
So Matt and I have it's set up

441
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:04.840
where we can share our locations.
I have a little bigfoot icon that we

442
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:09.239
share our locations back and forth to
our research spots. So for me,

443
00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:13.719
the hiccups, so we don't you
know, they're not out there for public

444
00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:15.920
consumption, but we can share them
with one another, which is pretty cool

445
00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:20.039
in itself. And of course with
maps, we'd be remiss if we didn't

446
00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:23.519
mention Purple Lizard maps for you know, really the Tennsylvania West Virginia, Ohio.

447
00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:31.000
Right, some great detailed cartography going
on with the Purple Purple Lizard Map

448
00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:37.039
company. They really put pride in
their products. The maps are water resistant,

449
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:40.280
tear resistant, they're just there's some
good stuff, man. Absolutely.

450
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:50.960
And I always besides having your satellite
GPS, I always carry a map in

451
00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:54.719
a small compass and might go to
map. Especially for the areas where we

452
00:38:54.840 --> 00:39:02.159
go, they're already been completed through
Blizard. So having that with me,

453
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:07.199
that that's an insurance policy right there. Having a real compass in that map

454
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:14.199
is outstanding, right, And of
course you know, for me, it's

455
00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:20.599
not just the tools we use,
but the things we wear. I'm a

456
00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:22.920
big fan of Merytal hiking boots,
so get yourself a pair of those.

457
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:25.440
I know there's Danner. There's a
lot of different companies. Matt. You

458
00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:32.719
have a company you prefer for King
boot, I actually prefer Obos, which

459
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:37.760
are actually the companies from Bozeman,
Montana. Now the shoes aren't made there

460
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:45.639
anymore, but the Obos are really
fantastic boots. They have a great toe

461
00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:50.239
guard, so when you're walking in
the middle of the night and you happen

462
00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:53.079
to run up against a rock or
a root, it's not gonna hurt you

463
00:39:53.599 --> 00:40:00.320
as much. They're also a little
stiffer than the Maryls, So the one

464
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:05.679
the one thing with the Marrals.
I love the Marrals for comfort, but

465
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:08.880
with Yobo's like if I'm in an
area where it's a little bit rocky or

466
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:14.760
it's not, uh you know,
as stable, you know, for you

467
00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:16.920
know, which is what we find
a lot in the mountains. Having that

468
00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:27.039
having that more stable uh soul,
having that more stable foot is it just

469
00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:30.000
you know, it keeps you steady, It keeps your whole body steady.

470
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:37.719
You you do lose a little bit
of comfort with those. But it's again,

471
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:42.800
uh, when you're going up and
down rocks and mud and everything.

472
00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:47.760
I I like having that, you
know, that more solid uh firmer uh

473
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:52.000
soul when I'm walking right. And
then the socks. Of course, you

474
00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:55.000
need a good sock if you're out
there in the woods, and I prefer

475
00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:01.400
smart Wool. That's my sock of
choice. I buy them wherever Baker and

476
00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:05.000
I are at and they happen to
be selling a pair of smart Wool socks,

477
00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:07.000
I usually pick up a pack.
I'm a I'm a sock whore.

478
00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:10.400
I keep socks all over it because
foot comfort is important to me, and

479
00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:14.480
we spend a lot of time in
the woods. You need to be comfortable.

480
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:19.920
No, for the love of God, I wish your head would are

481
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:27.599
so much for a family show.
But anyhow, Uh, you know,

482
00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:30.119
it's the things that are out there. Advance. What you got? What

483
00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:40.880
are your holiday gift suggestions? Uh? Mine personally one million? You know,

484
00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:45.360
I would, I would. I
I've looked into half a dozen different

485
00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:52.440
companies on the binocular video night vision, okay, and for whatever reason,

486
00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:59.320
I gotta get myself a pair.
I'm pretty well prepped with a lot of

487
00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:04.800
equipment here about some of the stuff
that man is talking about. But I

488
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:14.199
definitely would like to acquire a decent
night vision video binocular combo set and when

489
00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:16.199
I do go up, even if
I'm just you know, creeping on other

490
00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:22.199
people parked in cars or whatever,
but nonetheless, you know, for that

491
00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:27.639
type of research, I think that
would be really important to have as a

492
00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:32.480
piece of equipment, along with you
know, half a dozen of it other

493
00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:36.639
things that I could talk about here
that I have on a wish, you

494
00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:40.320
know, forty four to seventy lever
action that would be fun. I think

495
00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:45.639
that would probably with me and that
if you need to take down a bear

496
00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:50.880
or a squatch, well yeah,
you may get your head slammed into a

497
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:54.760
tree by another squatch if you did
that. But nonetheless, but yeah,

498
00:42:54.960 --> 00:43:00.000
as far as an essential piece of
equipment, I definitely would like to see

499
00:43:00.599 --> 00:43:07.440
going on in the dark, uh, and able to record it as necessary.

500
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:14.320
That's no, And you know that's
a that's a great suggestion to have.

501
00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:17.360
It ain't going to be cheap,
no, no, but suggestion you

502
00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:23.400
have, yeah, they're not cheap
at all. That you're looking probably brand

503
00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:29.239
for those oh, easily. It
is for good. I mean I've seen

504
00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:32.880
uh some decent stuff and it's you're
you're right, and you're in the ballpark

505
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:39.480
about thirty five to so yeah,
what I mean, I just wishless,

506
00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:44.360
right, we didn't we didn't put
a price limit on this. There's folks

507
00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:45.760
that might want to spend. Maybe
you love your folks a lot more than

508
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:50.519
some of us love ourselves. Sixty
five bucks was the cost of the ones

509
00:43:50.559 --> 00:43:55.000
I just pulled up for the night
vision. That's that's a that's a pricey

510
00:43:55.079 --> 00:43:59.320
piece. But what's the what's the
research worth for you? You know?

511
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:04.360
Oh? Absolutely, And even if
you don't, you know, come across

512
00:44:04.519 --> 00:44:08.119
you know, this undiscovered creature,
you would probably see a lot of really

513
00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:13.400
interesting things That night does pay off
for it. You know, it's an

514
00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:17.480
experience. And part of putting that
kind of financial investment into it for an

515
00:44:17.519 --> 00:44:22.960
experience, whatever it may be,
I think it would be worth it,

516
00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:30.880
right, Baker, what do you
got? You got any suggestions? I

517
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:35.760
would say one of the things I
want to do is like maybe get some

518
00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:38.039
journals and some other stuff to kind
of get an idea what you need,

519
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:45.119
you know, but like make sure
whatever you're going to I miss parts of

520
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:49.400
this because my head set died.
But make sure whatever whatever you're buying for

521
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:55.559
this particular like kit or what you're
buying for researching, they get look into

522
00:44:55.880 --> 00:45:00.599
other people using it before you purchase
it, you know. Like Matt has

523
00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:05.840
a lot of good suggestions because he
uses it. I have some suggestions because

524
00:45:05.840 --> 00:45:08.559
I use those things. But like, don't don't go on one of these

525
00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:14.400
infomercials and buy the magic stick.
There's twenty seven different points of articulation and

526
00:45:14.519 --> 00:45:16.519
has like fifteen gear on it.
If you're never gonna use it, what

527
00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:21.599
good is it You paid forty dollars
for a stick that you could have bought

528
00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:27.079
from somebody for five You know what
I mean? Make sure that whatever you're

529
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:30.360
using also that you know. This
is one thing that Sean can attest to.

530
00:45:31.079 --> 00:45:35.760
I used to sell cameras, was
is make sure the equipment you buy,

531
00:45:36.039 --> 00:45:40.199
you test it, and you use
it outside before you go go bring

532
00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:44.480
it to that one moment because I
don't know how many people have come to

533
00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:50.039
me, well the beautifulest camera go
on vacation and go I missed like twelve

534
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:52.199
shots because I didn't know how it
worked. I was like, yeah,

535
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:54.440
because I told you about it three
months ago. Go take pictures of your

536
00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:59.199
dog. You know, like no, but I mean that is that is

537
00:45:59.239 --> 00:46:01.360
one of the ones things that I've
always learned was is like, if you

538
00:46:01.440 --> 00:46:05.920
have a dog or you have something
or whatever, throw something out in the

539
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:08.079
yard and take pictures of them and
then look at what they did, what

540
00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:14.760
you needed on the light. You
know, I would just make sure that.

541
00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:17.360
You know, also, a comfortable
pair of boots is never a bad

542
00:46:17.480 --> 00:46:25.480
thing. Tick spray as much as
that as you can. You should get

543
00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:30.039
all the carsionagens you can. You
have one particular brand of tick spray we

544
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:36.880
recommend here and what's that, man, That would be Sawyers. Sawyers is

545
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:44.679
the absolute best. And I've I've
actually found ticks on me after I traded

546
00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:47.880
my clothes and they were dead.
You know, they were like crawling up

547
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:52.559
my leg and and you know,
like a lot of times they'll be you

548
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:55.119
know, sitting here trying to you
know, go somewhere else. Now,

549
00:46:55.239 --> 00:47:00.239
these they were like you know,
like get yeah, get me off,

550
00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:08.119
you know, warm blood. Yeah
yeah. So the Sawyers, I absolutely,

551
00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:14.760
I mean, you know, especially
in the springtime, is an amazing,

552
00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:17.239
amazing product to be out in the
woods with. Yeah, you have

553
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:20.840
to be safe, and snake garters
too. If you have to protect your

554
00:47:20.960 --> 00:47:22.519
well, make sure you've got a
good pair of snake foods snake garters,

555
00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:31.159
so folks are so you can keep
yourself safe. Well. Listen, you

556
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:36.239
know, Matt and I spend the
areas of rattlesnake populations are huge, and

557
00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:39.119
we want you folks to be safe
out there. We want you to like

558
00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:45.119
it does You're right, And unfortunately
our spot up north is not far from

559
00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:50.079
where the last fatality from a rattlesnake
bite was in Pennsylvania. So you know,

560
00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:52.679
I'm a little bit of a paranoid. Matt will tell you. I'm

561
00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:54.960
always on the lookout for snakes and
ticks. I don't like them, and

562
00:47:55.639 --> 00:47:59.840
Baker, you know from just being
out there, I don't like snakes.

563
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:01.840
I try to stay away from them
as much as pop I listen, they

564
00:48:02.280 --> 00:48:07.000
have a purpose in the ecosystem.
I get it. If they can kill

565
00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:09.960
me, I like from your space, it's a fair thing, and I

566
00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:14.679
do I do. You know.
One of the things we didn't touch on

567
00:48:14.840 --> 00:48:17.639
or field recorders, and I know
what the you know, intentions of people

568
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:24.079
really getting into the long term recording, Matt vance Bake James. You know,

569
00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:28.840
recommending a good field recorder is really
important, but I think there's a

570
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:34.760
torn between one with all the gizmos
and one that's a little bit more simplistic,

571
00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:37.920
right, like what do what right? You know? And then when

572
00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:47.920
I was watching these latest episodes of
UH the Discovery Road to Discovery from Eli

573
00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:52.840
Watson, UH, they were talking
to the Olympic Project guys about their long

574
00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:59.039
term field recordings, and I really
feel like that's some topics we need to

575
00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:01.159
explore. And we're going to have
the guys from the Olympic Project on next

576
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:06.639
month or in the beginning of February, so pretty close we'll be able to

577
00:49:06.679 --> 00:49:09.920
talk and make some further recommendations on
what equipment to use because they're getting recordings

578
00:49:09.960 --> 00:49:14.440
out there. And Matt, you
have one up now, don't you,

579
00:49:14.559 --> 00:49:20.199
a long term recording device. I
do, And with that particular device,

580
00:49:20.320 --> 00:49:28.039
I do have to go out there
and download the information on a fairly regular

581
00:49:28.119 --> 00:49:30.400
basis or else the memory is gonna
gonna get full. Plus I have to

582
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:34.800
check the batteries as well. There
is a way I can run it on,

583
00:49:35.440 --> 00:49:39.679
you know, one of those larger
batteries but I'm not as technically technologically

584
00:49:39.760 --> 00:49:47.480
savvy as you guys. So,
but I am looking right now at these

585
00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:59.239
bird recorders that a lot of colleges
use and a lot of ornithologists also use

586
00:49:59.360 --> 00:50:06.239
for recording songbirds, And from what
I understand, you can set the times

587
00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:09.159
with those. So if we're able
to get something like that, get my

588
00:50:09.239 --> 00:50:13.960
hands on something like that, that
would be fantastic. Yeah, I think

589
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:16.360
that'd be remarkable. And there are
a plethora of them out there too.

590
00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:21.440
You can choose from some really complicated
ones. Just remember some of them require

591
00:50:21.480 --> 00:50:23.800
you to have additional microphones that you
plug into it. So there's a lot

592
00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:29.320
of different options out there. So
consult with, you know, some peers

593
00:50:29.360 --> 00:50:31.480
out there if you really want to
get involved in the recording aspect of it.

594
00:50:31.559 --> 00:50:36.039
There's some great resources out there to
connect it. Just to see.

595
00:50:37.519 --> 00:50:44.039
Sounded like a trump here for a
second, but we are sorry, Henry.

596
00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:46.400
What else you got You've been quiet
tonight? I know you've got gift

597
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:53.000
give more gift ideas. Come on, buddy, Phillip. Those stockings hmm,

598
00:50:55.599 --> 00:51:02.599
well, I guess let's see.
Well, definitely your book recommendations for

599
00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:10.280
Phenomenal Sasquatch and a bomb mole Snowman
of California. For sure, that would

600
00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:15.239
be great for Christmas as well.
Well. I think there's one book everybody

601
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:19.800
should have their collection, and if
you don't, you need to get it.

602
00:51:20.039 --> 00:51:22.199
And I think you can all know
what book I'm going to say,

603
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:27.800
but that book is Sasquatch Dam's among
us. There's not a somebody has a

604
00:51:27.880 --> 00:51:32.840
great overview and you can still pick
it up available. Hancock House Publishers are

605
00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:37.119
the ones that were putting it out
there available on Amazon. It's a great

606
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:40.400
gift, folks, It's It's one
i'd recommend if someone came to me and

607
00:51:40.480 --> 00:51:44.280
said I want to get a gift
for somebody who wants to get into Bigfoot,

608
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:47.559
I'd recommend that. And then the
newer one that just came out by

609
00:51:47.639 --> 00:51:54.960
Laura Krantz for the younger audience.
I think it's a pretty cool book.

610
00:51:55.000 --> 00:52:00.280
I got that from my son and
I thought it would inspire him. I'm

611
00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:02.840
still sad. I'm the sad father
with no kids to take over my legacy

612
00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:07.639
of research. Maybe one of them
will. I don't just some great gift

613
00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:10.800
ideas. Uh, you know,
you can never go wrong with a book,

614
00:52:10.920 --> 00:52:14.199
and you can hand that book down. This is the book that got

615
00:52:14.320 --> 00:52:17.400
me started in this research. I
want you to have a copy of it.

616
00:52:17.559 --> 00:52:21.559
So that's where I'm at with that. And you can get yourself a

617
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:24.280
kindle or whatever e reader you want
and just load that puppy up with with

618
00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:28.519
as many books as you can.
They're becoming more readily available in e book

619
00:52:28.559 --> 00:52:31.559
format. There's still something, guys, to having a physical book in your

620
00:52:31.559 --> 00:52:44.880
hands, especially have older books.
H And of course, if you're like

621
00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:49.800
Vance, you'd recommend a bottle of
Redneck Riviera with every book purchase you buy.

622
00:52:50.639 --> 00:52:52.239
You get yourself a book, and
you take a shot and get yourself

623
00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:59.280
in the mode for some serious asquatch
dive on the lazy chair and going forward.

624
00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:01.119

different. So when your name is on

it's different. And we appreciate having you
