Speaker 2 (00:15):
We got someone or something crawling around out here?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Does a legend walk among us working in the forests
of our world?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Did you see what it was?
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Was it a person or an animal?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Or I can't go? Oh, I know that if my
thunder light came on and I get happened to gwent
and see this thing running across the yard, a good
sight man or something works like a man. I don't
know what it was.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
For over fifteen years, we've talked with scientists, researchers, investigators,
and witnesses trying to gain insight and truth around the
existence this mysterious entity.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Jesus quite ar Hello, get somebody out here.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
What's going to announce?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
There's got to a mention about sixty four nine?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I don't know is he announced there?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yes, I'm working right out. Oh, okay, hand on her, Yeah,
got you're big?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Okay, what's he doing in your yard?
Speaker 5 (01:24):
We're gonna move you.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Join us as we continue into the investigation of the
Sasquatch Experience. Well, here we are our Sasquatch Experience for Monday,
(02:03):
December twenty third, twenty twenty four. It's Christmas Eve Eve
if you can believe that. There he is the efferfescent
James Baker joining us. How are we doing, JB.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
We're doing good, solid day, very good.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
And guys, new platform tonight we're trying out here. We
are on stream Labs, testing out something different. So folks,
if you're in the chat, let us know how it's
working out for you, let us know how you hear
and varying different levels of frustration from some of us
tonight as we're trying to go through and do this,
(02:46):
but it's new and this is things that happen from
time to time. But again, we're broadcasting on YouTube, broadcasting
on x broadcasting on Facebook, still getting it out there,
having a great old time. We still see the chat.
So if you have questions, comments, concerned, send them to us.
Really ready to try something new. Henry Matt Bake, thanks
(03:12):
for coming on tonight and trying this out with us.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
No problem, guys.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It's uh, it's been a hell of a couple of
weeks had some citing reports come through. I know, Matt,
we sent you out on one last week, which we
really appreciate. I don't know what we can talk about,
but if you want to just give a little synopsis
of what happened and joined and I mean, I'm sure
we could work around any any of that, right.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Sure, yeah, and I have you know, the the witness
was really open about it and we ended up, you know,
coming to a good conclusion for her. So what what
happened was just over the last and this came in
(04:01):
last week, so a couple of days prior, she started
seeing what she believed was, you know, a nest or
some sort of tree structures in her backyard. Her backyard
backs up to a mountain and probably about two thousand
acres of it goes straight up the mountain and then
(04:26):
at the top of the mountain it's all coal mines,
all abandoned coal mines. So if they're not active anymore,
they're fairly inaccessible. So you know, there's not a lot
of people that come out there. There was one historical
sighting from that particular area. So I told her, I said, hey,
(04:50):
you know, I have a day off, I'll come on
over there, So I'm on my way over there. She
gives me a call and says, guess what I found out?
Who made the structure? And apparently the only people that
go back there are grandkids. The grandkids came by and said, Grandma,
(05:12):
and hey, we made a little tree for it. So
very easy explanation as to what happened. But she does
live in a pretty decent area. She sees deer, bear, turkey,
all sorts of while if coyotes through there all the time.
And again back in I think it was nineteen ninety nine,
(05:33):
there was a historical sighting just about three four miles
away from where her residence was. The mountain itself, it
kind of goes out to towards the south and then
it goes to the west, and on the western slope
of this mountain is where a young girl was washing
(05:57):
dishes one night look out the window saw a gorilla
face looking at her. She screamed. Her parents were in
the living room. She tells her parents. They said, no,
you didn't see anything until next morning when they found
two impressions in the uh in the flower bed about
you know, seven feet uh from where the window was.
So that was that was something that hey, you know what,
(06:21):
that was pretty decent. But but for this one here,
uh and again the the h this lady, her enthusiasm
was there. She understood, you know, after the explanation, you know,
from her grandkids. Hey, this is what what we have.
But she's still interested in the in the subject. And
(06:46):
she's definitely going to come out to us and come
out and see us when we're at the Central PA
Bigfoot Festival. So uh. And she said, if there's anything else,
she's more than willing to have us come out there
and checked out her property.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
That'd be great. All right, you know, we'll look forward
to that as she sends any more you know, information
our way. I mean, I'm just very happy, Matt, that
we've been getting reports coming in. This one was reported
right through our phone, you know, our phone line. The
other ones reported through the website. So it's great. And
(07:21):
of course, folks, you can go to Sasquatch Experience dot
com and hit reply or reply report it and it'll
send us an email. Pull up the form, it'll send
us an email of when you submit the sighting. Pretty
great stuff. Again, you know, one of the things that
(07:42):
makes us very unique is the fact that we are
active investigators and we need you to report your sightings
or your encounters so we can get them into the
hands of the right people and follow up on investigation.
This is a very much organic growth business. We need
people to report their sightings and encounters for us to
(08:06):
continue going on or that, or we're just gonna sit
there talking about the same sixty year old film footages
you know, or so exactly, we definitely need need you,
the listeners to report so before before we go on, Matt,
go ahead, I'll let you finish that thought.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Yeah. So I had a conversation with Alex Pettakoff a
few weeks ago. You're talking about the great Guy, and
we were talking about the same thing that. First off,
if we don't have the data that there's a signing
or there's some sort of encounter that somebody has. Again,
(08:45):
we're trying to formulate that to see if there's any similarities.
Are we seeing certain areas or hotspots in the spring,
certain areas are hot spots in the summer and the
in the fall the winter. Uh, And basically that allows
us to put the boots on the ground in those
particular areas where there may be some activity. But what
(09:10):
we need to really put everything together. We have a
lot of reports that have been either sent to us
or or shared from other researchers. But it's those people
that are on the fence. They they may have seen
something they don't know or you know, they don't want
to get ridiculed. Please you know, send an email or
(09:32):
do the report to us. Well, keep it confidential. We're
not going to give names, locations unless it's permitted. And
we you know, we do share the information, the data
with other researchers. We're not keeping it secret. We're not,
(09:55):
you know, like I said, unless you have somebody that
has a property that they don't one you know, a
thousand people coming through, you know. But with that we
let other researchers know. Hey, you know, this is something
that the people do want to keep secret. But we
do share our information, We share our data. We have
(10:16):
connections with the BFRO, we have connections with Cliff Brockman,
all these other researchers. So again we're trying to you know,
try to get all this dated together so that we
can you know, form some sort of plan from when
we do our outings.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Yeah, well, said Matt Well said, thank you. Bay Henry,
you guys got anything new before we dive into the
night's topics.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Well, I do have something new. Daniel Perez. His new
book is coming up, big Foot at Bluff Creek. It
was supposed to be released next month, but he has
some delays, so it's gonna be February first. Now for
those who are members of the newsletter, I need to
re up my subscription, by the way. But for those
(11:08):
who are who are members, they will get in on
the ground floor in February first, after two oh one
a m. Central time will be twelve oh one Pacific
time February first. And he hasn't set a price for
it yet because the publishers haven't set a price for it.
(11:32):
But he says it's not gonna be a cheap book.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Yeah, from what I saw or from what he was
putting out, it's gonna be very image heavy. Uh, there's
gonna be a lot of a lot of photos in there,
and coming from from Daniel Perez, Uh, you know that
is going to be fantastic. So I'm definitely looking forward
to it, right.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
And of course, you know, as we tonight is the
second annual Last Minute Shoppers Guide for the special Squatch
in Your Life episode. One of the suggestions on the
list was, of course, a subscription to The Bigfoot Times
with our past guest Daniel Perez. Daniel been writing The
Bigfoot Times for how many years now, Henry.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Well, he had his lether way back. I think it
was the late seventies and it went through I can't
remember what year it was, and then the new The
Bigfoot Times he has now started in nineteen ninety eight,
so we're talking almost twenty seven years.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
And that's why we call him the Bigfoot Encyclopedia, right there,
Henry back, folks, go ahead, bac.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
At one time, I think I was getting a cop
It was a physical copy, and he was mailing them out.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Yeah, he was doing it pretty much on his dime.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yeah, I mean we uh, you subscribe to it. You
pay an annual subscription. It's not very much, I mean.
And I had a little bit of an issue and
he fixed it for me and sent me the back
copies I missed, just do a little snaffoo. So I
have them at the house. I got to bring them
over to the office. It's an informative newsletter. I like that.
Sometimes there's contributions from other folks across the country adding
(13:16):
things to it, putting some commentary in. It's worth it,
and of course here at Sasquatch Experience we always like
to support great research. And speaking of support, you can
always support us here at the Sasquatch Experience for as
little as two dollars a month and that's a great
(13:36):
gift for that special Squatch in your life. AD free
episodes and more. We've been posting stuff pretty regularly. We
just had our December hangout on Saturday night, which was
really cool. That was a good time for the handful
of us that showed up. If you're a Patreon you're
missing out if you're not joining, because we have a
(13:59):
good time sitting there just shooting the breeze. They had
a lot of fun. And of course, starting next month,
I think we're gonna start incorporating the quarterly watch along
where we'll pick a Bigfoot movie every so often and
watch one with our listeners. But we're not responsible for
any offense that may take place. It's all about comedy
(14:21):
and having a good time, So check it out Patreon
dot com. Forward slash Sasquatch Experience again for as little
as too dollars a month, but you know, there's some
other things that have popped up. I was on Bigfoot
Crossroads with Matt Napp a couple weeks ago. We were
talking about Bigfoot evidence, which was a great It was
(14:41):
a lot of fun for me to be a part of.
Really enjoy anytime I get to spend with Matt Napp
and having conversation. And there's Scott, one of our Patreon
supporters saying the hangout was a good time. It was
my friend, glad to have you there joining us. It
was a lot of fun, kind of inform you know,
we keep them informal. We were also on one of
(15:04):
the latest episodes of Small Town Monsters. It was beyond
the trailer Bigfoot, Oh, Appalachian Bigfoot Files. Yes, the first
episode is what we were on, Matt and I and
our friend Brian and Chewy Alex Pettikov. It was a
great time there we did. We shot that earlier this year.
Had a great time doing that. It was a little
(15:25):
cold up there, not as cold as it was today,
been pretty cold.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
It was cold too, wow out here where I'm at.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Yeah, And so I guess now that we're done with
the shameless plugs, we can go ahead, guys who wants
to start off with what's on their Christmas list? What
if we were recommending gifts for the last minute shoppers,
what do we got?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Well, I got someone actually gave this to me. I'm
hoping I got a new phone and I can't get access.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
To my laptop.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
There's the JACKLINKX hair. The beast acts upside down. You
get a shot glass, you get a flask, and you
get some beef turkey. My friend gave me this. I'm
assuming they think I'm an alcoholic that also like sweaty meat.
(16:28):
By this year, thinking about people that are out actively
discovering the outdoors, it's the best word I can think
of in the moment. Was I got my friends some
gloves or semi heated. They got the wool. They always
want to go with the wool, not as much the
cotton because cotton absorbs water where wool kinds of shakes
(16:51):
it loose. And I got them some of those little
heat things. Now, I wanted to get him the good ones,
but I couldn't find them. The good ones you want
to buy are the kind that you snap them and
then when you're done with them, if you put them
in a bowl. You put them in a either a
cup or bowl or something of hot water, they'll reform
(17:11):
so you can use them again. Those are actually a
little more expensive, but if you see the math in
your head, if you're out there, a lot actually a
better deal the ones I think I got Porker, I
got you. I think they were like ninety nine cents
for two of them. But the thing is like the
other side was like twelve.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Bucks a piece.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
But like I said, if you're using them multiple times,
you make up the difference in volume. I also, what happened?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Oh sorry, oh no, here we go. Sorry, hey, mad
it popped up? Got it the worst?
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
What you want to think about is when you're out
in the woods, like what is more compact needs and use?
Like I thought, you know, my friend could use some monoculars.
But then I thought to myself, is then you're carrying
them around, there's weight and whatever. So I got a monocular.
You know, you just put it up to the one eye,
you know, and you look through the hole kind of
like Porky's, you know. And so then the nice thing
(18:19):
with that is is it's small. It can go around
your neck or you can shove in the pocket or
you know, if you have pants with more than one pocketing,
put them in there. But you know, you always want
to look at weight because one thing is dow things
about weight. One, you don't carry a lot of weight around.
And you always look at the people next to you
when the bear starts coming, because the father guys are
going to run slower.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Fair enough, James Baker and the practical gifts, that's for sure.
But you know, practicality is important, especially if you do
have somebody that's an outdoorsman, and you know, those gifts
do come in handy.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
If you don't mind me interacting with the monocary. Yeah,
with the monoculars and in binoculars, you can get them
through Amazon that they do recording and having that around.
If you're able to do a telescopic zoom on something
that you may think is you know, something you haven't
(19:21):
seen before and you want to try and identify, that's
a great way to capture the image. Some of the
monoculars may not have the best pixel pixel space or
you know, but I'd rather have that video image, even
if it's at a lower resolution than you know, if
(19:44):
we didn't have any image at all, Right.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
So, Matt, you make a good point. Now, I used
to sell those when I worked at radio Shack.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
Well, you need to be careful is when you buy
those units, make sure how they record, Yes, because most
of them don't actually record, like you condense the lens
to see half a mile.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Away, They're still only recording within so many feet of you. Yes,
so you have to be aware of that. You also
have to look at storage. Some of them only record
like twenty images and have no memory card spot. Sure,
So like when you go to do your research, do
a little research. Yes, you're gonna pay a little more
for some of these, but if you're looking you always
(20:29):
remember that if you bought a certain items, even though
you see the bear close, you know, like it's like here,
the recordings.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Still going to be that far away.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Sure, you know.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
So just it's a little things you learn from working
in an electronic shot.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah, and I mean you can get them now in
thermal you can get them in like night shot. I mean,
the monoculars are pretty they can get pretty intense. I'm
looking at one right now from Flear, the Thermal Monocular
Scout three twenty five hundred bucks. Yeah, you know, and
that's going to do an awful lot for you. And
I mean, and that's you know, everybody's varying degree of
(21:09):
what they're comfortable with and what they want to use.
You know, for years we've had people out there using Fleir,
but let's be honest, what most people are using is
kind of like that plumbing grade, you know, not made
for the work that we do out in the field.
And you start getting into a unit like that, you're
going to pay some money. That's you're going to be
dropping some coin on one of those flour cameras.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
So, like, I sorry to interject again, but so one
thing I would recommend is, I'm.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
A harbor freight guy.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
I have a project needs a certain tool, and I
don't know if I'm going to use it two hundred
times to make it worth it. I buy the cheaper
version to get the feel in the sense of it,
and if I see that it's part of my toolkit
on a regular basis, then I go buy the better.
So remember that, you know, like, yeah, they're twenty five
one hundred dollar units out there, but there's also ten
dollars units out there, just you know, right, I mean,
(22:05):
they's going to work for you in the moment and
then see if you like it, because I don't know, Sean,
you could get out there and go you use it
once and go I don't want to ever use this
damn thing.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yes, right, no, But I mean, and that's a great
thing to think about when you're talking about dropping some
serious coin on equipment. You can go broke buy an
equipment in this field. And and to your point, there's
varying degrees of equipment for everybody. Just because it's also
the most expensive doesn't mean it's the best suited for
what you're using it for. Yeah, you know, you really
(22:35):
have to watch out for that because sometimes this is
a little predatory and you're out there thinking, oh, I
just spent ten thousand dollars on the blah blah blah blah,
but that may not do anything for you, may not
be the right application for it. We talk about all
the time, how come we never get every picture we
get a bigfoots blurry. Well, it's because we don't take
the time to learn how to use it. We go
(22:56):
out there, we pick it up, we're going out there,
we're just snapping pictures. Most the people using those didn't
take the time to learn how.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
To use it.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
So take the time when you get this equipment, play
around with it. Practice, watch some YouTube tutorials. Go find
an expert that can show you how club Yeah there
are clubs. The more resource you can use, the better
off you are. Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Met vocal point, aperture, and camera speed. Those are like
the big three for photography. So I mean fortunately for us,
like you know, when we're just sitting there taking a picture,
you know, on Christmas Day with our iPhones or Samsung's,
it's already built in, but it takes great pictures, you know,
(23:41):
anywhere from you know, up close to you know, ten
to fifteen feet. But once you start getting out that range,
you know, then the AI in your phone is kind
of you know, struggling to keep up with it, even
on the zoom. So if you do have a good camera,
I'll tell you in I don't want to go too far,
(24:03):
you know, into what I would have for my list,
But talking about the cameras, you know, learning how to
use your camera, if you can manually do some settings
on your phones, you know, that would be a big help.
Or if you have a like a digital sl R
or or even one of these little cameras, that the
(24:24):
little carry cameras that you can do either manual or
it sets it to certain parameters landscape or yes, yep.
And especially I mean if you're out in the woods,
there is an outdoor setting, but there's also a sports
setting too, And the sports setting is gonna is going
(24:46):
to come in with a faster camera speed is so
that you're not going to get that blurry picture.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
And make sure that you learn how those speeds work,
how to do speed model. Here's the best to things
that I'll say. I sorry to break your thing there,
but two things I'll say is, for many years of
selling cameras, before you go out in the woods, before
you go on a trip to watch the whales, before
you do anything, go back in your backyard, throw a
(25:15):
stick at your dog and take as many pictures as
you can. See what worked, see what didn't work. You
don't have a dog, throw a stick at a kid. I mean,
tick one, all right, But I'll tell you you'll learn.
Like the other thing is is don't go cheap on accessories.
If you went expensive on a camera, right because if
you buy the wrong memory card, you could take a
(25:35):
thousand pictures in four seconds. But guess what you only
got a hundred of those because the memory card couldn't
keep up with as many times as you press the button.
The dog biting my foot, I'm gonna cue.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah, well said. That's one thing that that I get.
JB and I had talked about a long time ago
as we were selling cameras, is that, you know, the
accessories matter. It's not. It's a package. So I guess
we'll throw that on the list too. A good camera,
good assassories. Hey, some photography lessons that never heard anybody
did it right, So some good lists. Guys. It's that time.
(26:12):
We're at the middle of the hour. We gotta take
a break quick. We'll be back, folks, sasquatch experienced. Sean Palker,
Matt Arner, Henry May and James Baker will catch you
right after. This news team.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
A symbol.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Mopdays of Christmas. That's just a song about somebody who's
true love gave them an unseemly amount of birds. It
is calling birds, turtle doves, partridges. I don't know if
those are even real birds, to be honest with you,
I don't why's that last one coming his own treat?
That feels like a hanifisient packaging for birds. French hend
what is that chicken? The smokes? I don't know any
(26:56):
of these birds. It's not five. You get a break
from the birds like rings. Thank thank goodness. We're done
with the birds right, No, not even close day six
more birds not just more birds, geese alay and that's
more birds giving birth to more birds.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Ah, yes, birds. Well, Happy Christmas, adam to you. And
tomorrow being Christmas Eve, we would the five squatch tards
here would love to wish all of you a very
happy and safe holiday. And speaking of squatch tards, day
before yesterday, which was Saturday the twenty first, at approximately
(27:40):
three thirty pm, in the Gunnison National Forest in Colorado,
is quoted as saying, my girlfriend and I were driving
south on north State Highway one thirty five. We were
on our way back from Crested Butte Ski Resort, and
we had just passed the entrance to Roaring Judy Fish Hatchery.
(28:01):
That's a great name. As I was looking out the window,
which is a good thing to do if you're in
a vehicle, at the east Gunnison River and wooded area
that runs alongside the road, I noticed a figure standing
next to a tree in the marsh or water. I
couldn't tell which was which. The figure was what I
estimated to be about seven to seven and a half
(28:22):
feet tall, and it was about seventy five meters from
the road. Wait, who uses meters as their methodology of measurement. Oh,
they must have come down from Canada eight to go
skiing in Colorado. Oh YAKRAI we don't make fun of
our Canadian friends. We love Canada. Canada is America's hat. Anyway,
(28:43):
it goes on, I could clearly see a head and
two shoulders and arms hanging down to below the waist
below what I believe was in the water or marsh.
The figure was entirely black, with no variation in color,
and it didn't appear that it was wearing clothing. Well, okay,
I also believe it was facing away from me, looking
(29:04):
towards the opposite direction. Well, that's what looking away from
me would be the opposite direction. It was not moving
and was standing entirely straight up from what I could see.
He goes on to say that there was one small
house about a minute down the road from where I
saw it quote, and it appeared to be abandoned, and
(29:24):
there were no cars parked or people walking in that area.
From what we could see, there was also about a
foot of snow in at least twenty degrees outside. On
our way back, I then googled Gunnison National Forest Bigfoot,
and the very first thing that popped up was a
sighting in almost the same area with the exact same
(29:47):
description as I had seen. In my opinion, I believe
I saw Bigfoot and ironically standing in the water right
next to a fish hatchery looking for a dinner. I
can't think of a reason that someone would be standing
out there in the water, and I didn't see a
fishing pole. I couldn't make out any features, only the height,
(30:10):
stature and the long arms and solid black and cold.
When we come back, let's go visit some friends in
Georgia in the Middletons.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
You're listening to the big football horn right here on
the Sasquatch experience the Jumhorn's House.

and talk about weird stuff. Saturday at Demorris, Georgia from
(32:28):
nine to six pm at Piedmont University. Just go to
your favorite search engine and type in Georgia Bigfoot Conference,
not festival conference. You know, like when you were a
kid and your teacher called your parents and said, yeah,
we have to have a conference about your kid. Yeah,
that's not a good thing, but this will be a
(32:50):
good conference. So again, just finish typing in on your
favorite search engine, Georgia Bigfoot Conference. Thanks again listening to
this holiday edition another big Foot bullhorn right here on
the Sasquatch Experience and as always, until we meet again,
(33:12):
keep your toe in the mind.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Thank you Vance for the Bigfoot Bullhorn. Vance not with
us tonight due to some technical difficulties, but nonetheless wishing
him a very merry Christmas. And I know he'd like
to be here with us tonight, but just having some
just having some issues. Scott, thanks for that information about
the stream stopping. Guys new to us as using the
(33:46):
stream labs. We're working out the kinks. We'll get through
it and I promise we'll get back to normal and
you folks won't even recognize we changed platforms anyhow. Sasquatch
Experience Sean Forkerg Baker, Henry May and Matt Arner Broad
h John, thank you. Merry Christmas. Lots of love back
to you. I'm telling you what, guys, I love our audience.
(34:09):
We have some great listeners, some great friends, some great fans.
We don't really call them fans. We call them friends.
We're not famous, We're just that's.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
Our good friend John Cartwright, by the way, is it
gotta love Jse our buddy JC.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
World's greatest bigfoot Hunter. That's right, that's right, the og
world's greatest bigfoot hunter. Don't let anybody tell you any different. Matt,
We've gone through Baker's list. Henry, do you or Matt,
which one of you guys want to go next?
Speaker 5 (34:41):
Henry? Why do you?
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Yeah? Well, one thing that I want to point out,
and we discussed this and several months ago when it
was released, was on the Trail of Bigfoot the Ancients.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
It is now on YouTube, by the way, if anybody
wants to see it in its entirety, but it's also
available for on small Townmosters dot com, Blu ray or
DVD if anybody wants to make a purchase. So no,
I recommend it.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
I think that's great, Henry, you know, and I think
you just kind of push us into the next stop
is you know a lot of our friends that have
some of these, you know, digital streaming systems and subscriptions.
Small Town Monsters has there as you become a squad
member over on YouTube and get access to just about
everything that they have in their catalog in four k
(35:39):
to become a squad member over there on the Small
Town Monsters YouTube. For anybody that's so inclined to do so,
it's worth it. It's worth it. Henry's Henry's laughing at
Baker's cheekiness going on behind the scenes. Uh huh, what
else you got, Henry? What else on that list? On
(35:59):
the trail Bigfoot the Ancients?
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (36:03):
And also also uh, The Secret History of Bigfoot by
John O'Connor. It's more of a skeptical book, but it's
a really good book, although I didn't really like all
the political stuff that was in it.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Oh give us a little primer.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
Well, a lot of Trump bashing.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Let's just say, oh, well, I mean, I guess, to
each their own in a book. I don't understand what
that's do with Bigfoot, but you know, to each their own, right.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
I mean, And that's regardless of how you feel about
Trump and whether you love him or hate him, right,
you should still stick to what you know that's talking
about Bigfoot.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
I just don't know how it correlates.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
I don't either, Oh, well, I would.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Say that Bigfoot would be more of a libertarian, right.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
I mean, think about the only sovereign citizen, right.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
I see him having those conservative values because he hides
from the liberal media.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Fake news I got.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
You know, I was watching Men in Black the other
day and I thought to myself, you know, that is
probably the most accurate dog. That is probably the accuratest
thing that Tommy Lee Jones ever says that. My god,
you know, the only ones who get it right are
the tabloid.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Mm hmmmm, well right, Henry got anything else on that list?
Speaker 6 (37:48):
Hmm? I can't really think of anything off the top
of my head.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Well, you had to have asked for something for Christmas?
What did you ask for?
Speaker 6 (38:00):
Pulled Wolverine?
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Oh okay, well that was okay, so that really wasn't
Bigfoot related, but you know what, good movie. Nonetheless, we'll
give you that one. All right, all right, Matt, we
go to you. Let's talk about Matt Arner's list of
Christmas e goodness.
Speaker 5 (38:15):
So it kind of came up earlier in the show.
If you want to. I don't know if you're able
to post that picture again.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
I am hold on one moment here when I find boom,
there we go.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
That was actually a Christmas gift from a coworker, one
of our younger guys. His name is Justice, a great officer,
and in every every event he always gets me something
Bigfoot related. So we ended up getting a Bigfoot ornament,
which I thought was very nice of him. Cool and
(38:53):
as you can see, the Bigfoot has a smile.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Well that's a smiley, happy bigfoot.
Speaker 5 (38:59):
Right it is. Now, if Cliff Rockman was looking at that,
he'd say, well, that's a little off because the fingers,
you know, the thumb is gonna be want to be
a little different. Yeah. So anyways, one thing that Henry
kind of brought up earlier that I was gonna put
(39:21):
on my list, and of course you can't buy it
right now, but actually, you know, to put a a
you know, hey, this is why he went in the
spring is The Bigfoot of Left Creek by Daniel Perez Uh.
That is that looks to be like an awesome, awesome book.
So every Daniel puts out some wonderful and wonderful material
(39:46):
out there along with the big Foot time. So both
of those highly endorsed. So there was a couple of
things that I was thinking during the break there was
one or two pieces of equipment. One is from Wildlife
Acoustics and it's called the song Meaner many too. I
(40:10):
actually have that. I have not been able to set
it up yet because it does require a little bit
of technical knowledge that I'm not, you know, so inclined with.
But what that does is it basically takes the place
of the of your audio recorder and being able to
(40:30):
set it at different times. So this is particularly used
for bird researchers. But one thing that just from talking
to other users, they use it at night for owls,
so you can set it for a certain hour. And
one thing I would probably do is, you know, like
(40:52):
especially in the spring or the fall, I probably put
it around maybe midnight to four am, uh to record
and if it picks up anything, it will. Uh. It
supposedly does a great job with the with the recording.
So this spring I'm gonna try and get that out
in the woods and uh see how we do with that.
(41:15):
So one thing that I was thinking that's kind of
outside the box with uh yes, uh with the gift
is plan a vacation. And when I say plan a vacation,
try to try to find one of these you know
kind of decent locations that are you know within uh
(41:39):
you know, maybe a day's drive, Uh, book an Airbnb,
find a campground, uh, do something and go hiking through there.
Spend some time out in the out in the woods
at night. You know, if you could, you know, drive
down the back roads. That's a lot of stuff that
uh that I'll do. Uh Sean and I have done,
(41:59):
you know, going through the back roads of north central PA. Uh.
Try to find, you know, go to a place where
I'd like to go that's within the you know, relatively
short drive of US is Whitehall, New York, up in
the Anarondicks. I think that would be a fantastic uh,
(42:19):
you know, even if you're just going up there for
for a couple of days. Try to find There's places
all around the United States that seem to have a
cluster of sightings and counters that seemed to be hotspots,
uh for us. In Pennsylvania, maybe the Allan King National Forest, Uh,
because that that really seems to be a hotspot lately. Uh.
(42:43):
New York, Uh, the Anarondicks, you know, Vermont where Alex
Pattakov is in through that area. Uh. There's so many
different areas in our area, like in our region. But
then look at the south, you know, uh the Smoking
(43:04):
National Park. Uh, maybe down in uh Okeechobee or or
one of those places down in Florida. You know, all
throughout the southeast, uh, Midwest. Uh there's some some great
areas to explore up there, especially in Minnesota. I'm not
(43:25):
so familiar about the Great Plains, but uh, but definitely
for you know, and then when you're out west, you know,
you got your you know, your pick of choices up there.
So what I would say is, if you're looking to
have a big Foot gift, you know, maybe not so
much under the tree, but but have a gift for you,
(43:46):
plan a plan a day trip or or plan a
a weekend trip, you know, to one of these places,
and you know, check it out. Uh, speak to some locals. Uh.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
You know.
Speaker 5 (44:01):
Some of these places now have museums around. Uh check
those out, and you know, go out for a night hike,
go out for a d hike. You never know what
you're gonna find.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
Well, and a Mettico point there too. Some of these museums,
North American Bigfoot Center, the International crypt Zoology Museum. Uh,
they're always looking for donations, and they're always looking for support.
You can either join their patreons or join their you know,
charitable giving. You can't go wrong supporting those two great institutions.
(44:34):
Let's see what else could you do? You know, we'll
go over into some of my lists though, Matt, that
you touched on, you know, as we talk about last
minute gifts, and you and I pontificate on this product
a lot on X maps, on X hunting. It is
a well, I don't want to be dramatic, a life saver,
(44:54):
but I will tell you it does a pretty decent
job in delinear between public and private lands. So when
you're out there, look what you know. You and I
when we were out the last time, we discovered that
road we were on really wasn't a road at all
thanks to onyx match right, Yeah, which was a big
(45:17):
That was a really big deal to discover that because
it really put us into some UH into the place
where we were told we should have been and didn't
even realize we were there.
Speaker 5 (45:28):
So the one the one good point about onyx is
if we get enough of us that are using onyx
UH in the field that you can drop pins and say, hey,
you know, we had something happen here or this is
where on ex right, Yes, this is where. This is
(45:50):
where we were. We we didn't get any activity, but
it seems like a like a pretty decent area. You
can set those pins and it'll take you right there. Uh.
I put up game cameras and I except for one
which was my which was my cell camera, I marked
their location and I've been out like completely lost, thinking,
(46:14):
oh my god, I'm never gonna find find this camera.
And there it is, within like you know, generally about
three to four feet of where I set the pin.
I did have a cell camera that I did not mark,
and we kind of know where it's at, but I'm
gonna have to wait till the snowfall melts a little
(46:35):
bit before I go back there. But but being able
to share those pins with other researchers, We've had witnesses.
I had a witness he had some encounters in north
central PA. He sent me the Onyx pins from where
his signings were. So definitely a huge, huge, you know gift.
Speaker 3 (47:00):
Right now, I'm an elite member, which does have a
little bit of a cost associated with it, but if
you go to Onyx hunt and discover it, it's on
x try dot onyxmaps dot com. There's an Elite membership.
You can get a free trial to start it off too.
I use the Elite because of some of the features.
(47:21):
Matt and I talk about being able to do that.
And it's one hundred dollars a year, which is not
going to break the bank. You know, you could do
a fourteen ninety nine a monthly subscription, or you could
do the year for one hundred dollars. I jumped into
the air. It was well worth it. And you can
use it on your laptop, you could use it on
a tablet, use it on your phone. It uses that
one accounts very versatile. And again it's a product Matt
(47:44):
and I really believe in, yep.
Speaker 5 (47:46):
And there are substantial discounts if you're a first responder
or a veteran.
Speaker 3 (47:50):
Now there you go. That's our little cheap plug, not
cheap plug, a plug for on ex hunting maps. And
I guess another one. I talk about a good pair
of boots. We talk about this all the time, Matt,
but we're starting to become a member of a certain brigade. Yes,
the Obas brigade.
Speaker 5 (48:10):
Yes, yep, absolutely, I got them up in my closet
right there.
Speaker 3 (48:15):
Matt turned me on to them, and they're moderately priced
pair of boots, but you won't go wrong with them.
They're very comfortable. Alex Pettakov has a pair. You have
a pair. I have a pair. They wear pretty well
and they fit good on the feet, super comfortable, And
I think Matt's probably gonna grab him. Hold still, folks.
(48:39):
He's a tall guy, folks, look at him. He's a
sasquatch himself. There, mister Matt big Fella, joining the live
stream once again. Welcome back.
Speaker 5 (48:54):
Oh so, what I'm going to show you, guys, is
the difference between Meryl Hikers h Merrill mo app three,
which is a decent shoe, a decent boot, but the
difference between that and the Obo. So you see this
and what happens is you get this flexibility. I mean,
this shoe can go like this, you know, it go
(49:15):
all the way up to the tongue. That's good if
you're walking like on the street, on a paved you know,
on a paved road something like that. This is the
Ebos and it does not go. It's a lot more
firm in its support, so it doesn't go all the
(49:35):
way back. The reason why that's important is when you're
on when you're off trail, you want to have a
boot that's more supportive, more firm like this, that's not
going to be, you know, going like this every you know,
over every rock. You you really can't can't have that
(49:57):
because that is going to not just hurt your feet,
but it's also going to hurt your ankles, hurt your legs.
So you want to have something that's a little more
uh you know, sturdy, sturdy, correct, yes, and.
Speaker 4 (50:17):
When it does that because I've learned with my boots.
My boots are quite old, but their work boots. I
wear a pair I wear that I wear a pair
of thick socks on them, and I've noticed that when
my my boot bends, it scruffs the top of my shoe,
it scruffs the top of my foot, and I get
a blister on the top of my foot.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
It's because of the way it does when it when.
Speaker 4 (50:42):
It pops your foot up, it scrapes it across the top.
So if you get boots that have more of a
rugged sole, they'll actually And the other thing is is
they make it when you grip the ground, there's less
chances you being on your ass.
Speaker 3 (50:54):
Yeah, well you don't want to roll your ankles importantly.
I mean that's you'd be pulling me out. You really
want it to be supportive, and that's why, you know,
we kind of do little episodes like this. You know,
they'll set you back about what maybe two fifty for
a good pair, if that you can get them on
(51:15):
sale from time to time. Yeah, it depends on your
size and which version you go with, because they do
have a higher one and then you know, to give
you some more ankle support. But again, when I have
a pair of Marbles, I have a pair of h
oh bohs. I like those better. They feel better on
my feet. The first weekend I bought them, I wore them.
(51:36):
And normally you don't want to break a pair of
shoes in like that, and I did and they didn't
bother me at all. No blisters, know, nothing, very comfortable.
And again I always think Matt because it was his recommendation,
I have no regrets. So put that on your list, folks,
And you know, in the show notes, we'll try to
get some links to the products we're talking about in
(51:57):
there when they get posted. This week above and beyond
that is, as you know, we can start talking about maps.
Garmin's really up the ante with their GPS mapping watches,
the smart watches. Matt's got one. I'm still on an
(52:18):
Apple Ultra, but aside from their sixteen day battery, it's
actually forty seven days. I believe in GPS mode, and
the sizings on them are pretty decent, anywhere from forty
three to fifty one millimeter. They got a good screen
on them, and the mapping software in them is, you know,
second to none. It's got that good Garment brand and
(52:40):
the smart features work fantastica and if you're into fitness,
some of the features you have for fitness are you know,
up to par with the with the Apple Watch. But
it gives you that rugged, ruggedness. You're not gonna be
really worried, afraid to wear it outdoors and break it.
And that'll set you back about eleven or bucks for
the Phoenix eight the Amalid screen, but I'll tell you guys,
(53:05):
it's slick and it's worth that. You can pick that
right up on Amazon or even from Garman's website.
Speaker 5 (53:10):
I have I have the instinct too, and I don't
have the Solar one. I just have the regular instinct too,
and I think that was about three hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (53:20):
Yeah, I mean, and there's a there's a watch out
there for every price point. Of course, you know me,
I picked the fancy one. Forkers a little bougie when
it comes to that stuff. But uh no, I mean,
and there's just a whole slew of things we talked about.
We try to keep it to a few of us.
Vance had put in uh polarized yellow polarized glasses for
(53:40):
by night Sight in a vintage audio cassette recorder that
are out there. And you know, as we've talked about
some of the luck that's happened with you know, we
go back to the Sierra Sounds and how they use
kind of like real to real and you know, analog equipment.
Is there something to be said for analog versus digital?
(54:03):
And our Vance is you know, trying to get more
folks to try that out. So going back to those
vintage recorders with the cassette tapes never hurts to try.
And they're very economical. You can pit them up just
about anywhere, starting at about thirty dollars and probably more if
you could find them at a thrift store or a
you know pawn shop or you know second hand store.
(54:25):
I'm sure there's a bunch of them still hanging around
that you could pick up. And of course he said, ah,
what did he put a He put a rifle.
Speaker 5 (54:33):
In their matt.
Speaker 3 (54:37):
That may be more your expertise to talk about.
Speaker 5 (54:40):
Well what rifle did he put in?
Speaker 3 (54:42):
Lever action rifle forty five seventy?
Speaker 4 (54:45):
Yeah, yeah, you shoot your eye out, kid, You'll shoot
your eye out, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6 (54:50):
And of course money.
Speaker 3 (54:52):
Vans put money on there, because you know, all these
things take money. So if you're looking for that, really
that last minute gift, what better is there thing? Cash?
Speaker 5 (55:01):
Yes, well yeah than cash.
Speaker 3 (55:03):
That you can go and spend on your own bigfoot stuff.
But hopefully we gave you a little teas and a
little primer of some great gifts you can get. And
like I said, we'll put links in the show notes
so folks know. I wrote them all down here, so
folks know. Guys, thank you so much tonight for popping.
Can you believe this hour is almost done already?
Speaker 5 (55:21):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (55:21):
Yeah, it's the last show for twenty twenty five and
our twenty twenty four. When we come back, it'll be
twenty twenty five, going into a whole new slewid adventures
next year. But I guess you know, I'll leave us
with that thought. You know, we should all try to
spend more time in the woods next year. All get
out there, live a little better, get disconnect, get our
(55:42):
minds fresh, and it just takes some time to smell
the roses. Literally, go out and smell the roses. Get
ourselves some mental refreshers so we can have a great year.
And you know, respect and love one another just a
little more. Henry, why don't you take us out with
those dulcet tones.
Speaker 6 (55:58):
You all be good, be good.
Speaker 3 (56:00):
Merry Christmas, Mary, christ Marry Christmas.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
We got someone or something crawling around out here?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Does a legend walk among us working in the forests
of our world?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Did you see what it was?
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Was it a person or an animal?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Or I can't go? Oh, I know that if my
thunder light came on and I get happened to gwent
and see this thing running across the yard, a good
sight man or something works like a man. I don't
know what it was.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
For over fifteen years, we've talked with scientists, researchers, investigators,
and witnesses trying to gain insight and truth around the
existence this mysterious entity.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Jesus quite ar Hello, get somebody out here.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
What's going to announce?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
There's got to a mention about sixty four nine?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I don't know is he announced there?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yes, I'm working right out. Oh, okay, hand on her, Yeah,
got you're big?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Okay, what's he doing in your yard?
Speaker 5 (01:24):
We're gonna move you.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Join us as we continue into the investigation of the
Sasquatch Experience. Well, here we are our Sasquatch Experience for Monday,
(02:03):
December twenty third, twenty twenty four. It's Christmas Eve Eve
if you can believe that. There he is the efferfescent
James Baker joining us. How are we doing, JB.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
We're doing good, solid day, very good.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
And guys, new platform tonight we're trying out here. We
are on stream Labs, testing out something different. So folks,
if you're in the chat, let us know how it's
working out for you, let us know how you hear
and varying different levels of frustration from some of us
tonight as we're trying to go through and do this,
(02:46):
but it's new and this is things that happen from
time to time. But again, we're broadcasting on YouTube, broadcasting
on x broadcasting on Facebook, still getting it out there,
having a great old time. We still see the chat.
So if you have questions, comments, concerned, send them to us.
Really ready to try something new. Henry Matt Bake, thanks
(03:12):
for coming on tonight and trying this out with us.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
No problem, guys.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It's uh, it's been a hell of a couple of
weeks had some citing reports come through. I know, Matt,
we sent you out on one last week, which we
really appreciate. I don't know what we can talk about,
but if you want to just give a little synopsis
of what happened and joined and I mean, I'm sure
we could work around any any of that, right.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Sure, yeah, and I have you know, the the witness
was really open about it and we ended up, you know,
coming to a good conclusion for her. So what what
happened was just over the last and this came in
(04:01):
last week, so a couple of days prior, she started
seeing what she believed was, you know, a nest or
some sort of tree structures in her backyard. Her backyard
backs up to a mountain and probably about two thousand
acres of it goes straight up the mountain and then
(04:26):
at the top of the mountain it's all coal mines,
all abandoned coal mines. So if they're not active anymore,
they're fairly inaccessible. So you know, there's not a lot
of people that come out there. There was one historical
sighting from that particular area. So I told her, I said, hey,
(04:50):
you know, I have a day off, I'll come on
over there, So I'm on my way over there. She
gives me a call and says, guess what I found out?
Who made the structure? And apparently the only people that
go back there are grandkids. The grandkids came by and said, Grandma,
(05:12):
and hey, we made a little tree for it. So
very easy explanation as to what happened. But she does
live in a pretty decent area. She sees deer, bear, turkey,
all sorts of while if coyotes through there all the time.
And again back in I think it was nineteen ninety nine,
(05:33):
there was a historical sighting just about three four miles
away from where her residence was. The mountain itself, it
kind of goes out to towards the south and then
it goes to the west, and on the western slope
of this mountain is where a young girl was washing
(05:57):
dishes one night look out the window saw a gorilla
face looking at her. She screamed. Her parents were in
the living room. She tells her parents. They said, no,
you didn't see anything until next morning when they found
two impressions in the uh in the flower bed about
you know, seven feet uh from where the window was.
So that was that was something that hey, you know what,
(06:21):
that was pretty decent. But but for this one here,
uh and again the the h this lady, her enthusiasm
was there. She understood, you know, after the explanation, you know,
from her grandkids. Hey, this is what what we have.
But she's still interested in the in the subject. And
(06:46):
she's definitely going to come out to us and come
out and see us when we're at the Central PA
Bigfoot Festival. So uh. And she said, if there's anything else,
she's more than willing to have us come out there
and checked out her property.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
That'd be great. All right, you know, we'll look forward
to that as she sends any more you know, information
our way. I mean, I'm just very happy, Matt, that
we've been getting reports coming in. This one was reported
right through our phone, you know, our phone line. The
other ones reported through the website. So it's great. And
(07:21):
of course, folks, you can go to Sasquatch Experience dot
com and hit reply or reply report it and it'll
send us an email. Pull up the form, it'll send
us an email of when you submit the sighting. Pretty
great stuff. Again, you know, one of the things that
(07:42):
makes us very unique is the fact that we are
active investigators and we need you to report your sightings
or your encounters so we can get them into the
hands of the right people and follow up on investigation.
This is a very much organic growth business. We need
people to report their sightings and encounters for us to
(08:06):
continue going on or that, or we're just gonna sit
there talking about the same sixty year old film footages
you know, or so exactly, we definitely need need you,
the listeners to report so before before we go on, Matt,
go ahead, I'll let you finish that thought.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Yeah. So I had a conversation with Alex Pettakoff a
few weeks ago. You're talking about the great Guy, and
we were talking about the same thing that. First off,
if we don't have the data that there's a signing
or there's some sort of encounter that somebody has. Again,
(08:45):
we're trying to formulate that to see if there's any similarities.
Are we seeing certain areas or hotspots in the spring,
certain areas are hot spots in the summer and the
in the fall the winter. Uh, And basically that allows
us to put the boots on the ground in those
particular areas where there may be some activity. But what
(09:10):
we need to really put everything together. We have a
lot of reports that have been either sent to us
or or shared from other researchers. But it's those people
that are on the fence. They they may have seen
something they don't know or you know, they don't want
to get ridiculed. Please you know, send an email or
(09:32):
do the report to us. Well, keep it confidential. We're
not going to give names, locations unless it's permitted. And
we you know, we do share the information, the data
with other researchers. We're not keeping it secret. We're not,
(09:55):
you know, like I said, unless you have somebody that
has a property that they don't one you know, a
thousand people coming through, you know. But with that we
let other researchers know. Hey, you know, this is something
that the people do want to keep secret. But we
do share our information, We share our data. We have
(10:16):
connections with the BFRO, we have connections with Cliff Brockman,
all these other researchers. So again we're trying to you know,
try to get all this dated together so that we
can you know, form some sort of plan from when
we do our outings.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Yeah, well, said Matt Well said, thank you. Bay Henry,
you guys got anything new before we dive into the
night's topics.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Well, I do have something new. Daniel Perez. His new
book is coming up, big Foot at Bluff Creek. It
was supposed to be released next month, but he has
some delays, so it's gonna be February first. Now for
those who are members of the newsletter, I need to
re up my subscription, by the way. But for those
(11:08):
who are who are members, they will get in on
the ground floor in February first, after two oh one
a m. Central time will be twelve oh one Pacific
time February first. And he hasn't set a price for
it yet because the publishers haven't set a price for it.
(11:32):
But he says it's not gonna be a cheap book.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Yeah, from what I saw or from what he was
putting out, it's gonna be very image heavy. Uh, there's
gonna be a lot of a lot of photos in there,
and coming from from Daniel Perez, Uh, you know that
is going to be fantastic. So I'm definitely looking forward
to it, right.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
And of course, you know, as we tonight is the
second annual Last Minute Shoppers Guide for the special Squatch
in Your Life episode. One of the suggestions on the
list was, of course, a subscription to The Bigfoot Times
with our past guest Daniel Perez. Daniel been writing The
Bigfoot Times for how many years now, Henry.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Well, he had his lether way back. I think it
was the late seventies and it went through I can't
remember what year it was, and then the new The
Bigfoot Times he has now started in nineteen ninety eight,
so we're talking almost twenty seven years.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
And that's why we call him the Bigfoot Encyclopedia, right there,
Henry back, folks, go ahead, bac.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
At one time, I think I was getting a cop
It was a physical copy, and he was mailing them out.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Yeah, he was doing it pretty much on his dime.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yeah, I mean we uh, you subscribe to it. You
pay an annual subscription. It's not very much, I mean.
And I had a little bit of an issue and
he fixed it for me and sent me the back
copies I missed, just do a little snaffoo. So I
have them at the house. I got to bring them
over to the office. It's an informative newsletter. I like that.
Sometimes there's contributions from other folks across the country adding
(13:16):
things to it, putting some commentary in. It's worth it,
and of course here at Sasquatch Experience we always like
to support great research. And speaking of support, you can
always support us here at the Sasquatch Experience for as
little as two dollars a month and that's a great
(13:36):
gift for that special Squatch in your life. AD free
episodes and more. We've been posting stuff pretty regularly. We
just had our December hangout on Saturday night, which was
really cool. That was a good time for the handful
of us that showed up. If you're a Patreon you're
missing out if you're not joining, because we have a
(13:59):
good time sitting there just shooting the breeze. They had
a lot of fun. And of course, starting next month,
I think we're gonna start incorporating the quarterly watch along
where we'll pick a Bigfoot movie every so often and
watch one with our listeners. But we're not responsible for
any offense that may take place. It's all about comedy
(14:21):
and having a good time, So check it out Patreon
dot com. Forward slash Sasquatch Experience again for as little
as too dollars a month, but you know, there's some
other things that have popped up. I was on Bigfoot
Crossroads with Matt Napp a couple weeks ago. We were
talking about Bigfoot evidence, which was a great It was
(14:41):
a lot of fun for me to be a part of.
Really enjoy anytime I get to spend with Matt Napp
and having conversation. And there's Scott, one of our Patreon
supporters saying the hangout was a good time. It was
my friend, glad to have you there joining us. It
was a lot of fun, kind of inform you know,
we keep them informal. We were also on one of
(15:04):
the latest episodes of Small Town Monsters. It was beyond
the trailer Bigfoot, Oh, Appalachian Bigfoot Files. Yes, the first
episode is what we were on, Matt and I and
our friend Brian and Chewy Alex Pettikov. It was a
great time there we did. We shot that earlier this year.
Had a great time doing that. It was a little
(15:25):
cold up there, not as cold as it was today,
been pretty cold.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
It was cold too, wow out here where I'm at.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Yeah, And so I guess now that we're done with
the shameless plugs, we can go ahead, guys who wants
to start off with what's on their Christmas list? What
if we were recommending gifts for the last minute shoppers,
what do we got?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Well, I got someone actually gave this to me. I'm
hoping I got a new phone and I can't get access.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
To my laptop.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
There's the JACKLINKX hair. The beast acts upside down. You
get a shot glass, you get a flask, and you
get some beef turkey. My friend gave me this. I'm
assuming they think I'm an alcoholic that also like sweaty meat.
(16:28):
By this year, thinking about people that are out actively
discovering the outdoors, it's the best word I can think
of in the moment. Was I got my friends some
gloves or semi heated. They got the wool. They always
want to go with the wool, not as much the
cotton because cotton absorbs water where wool kinds of shakes
(16:51):
it loose. And I got them some of those little
heat things. Now, I wanted to get him the good ones,
but I couldn't find them. The good ones you want
to buy are the kind that you snap them and
then when you're done with them, if you put them
in a bowl. You put them in a either a
cup or bowl or something of hot water, they'll reform
(17:11):
so you can use them again. Those are actually a
little more expensive, but if you see the math in
your head, if you're out there, a lot actually a
better deal the ones I think I got Porker, I
got you. I think they were like ninety nine cents
for two of them. But the thing is like the
other side was like twelve.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Bucks a piece.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
But like I said, if you're using them multiple times,
you make up the difference in volume. I also, what happened?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Oh sorry, oh no, here we go. Sorry, hey, mad
it popped up? Got it the worst?
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
What you want to think about is when you're out
in the woods, like what is more compact needs and use?
Like I thought, you know, my friend could use some monoculars.
But then I thought to myself, is then you're carrying
them around, there's weight and whatever. So I got a monocular.
You know, you just put it up to the one eye,
you know, and you look through the hole kind of
like Porky's, you know. And so then the nice thing
(18:19):
with that is is it's small. It can go around
your neck or you can shove in the pocket or
you know, if you have pants with more than one pocketing,
put them in there. But you know, you always want
to look at weight because one thing is dow things
about weight. One, you don't carry a lot of weight around.
And you always look at the people next to you
when the bear starts coming, because the father guys are
going to run slower.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Fair enough, James Baker and the practical gifts, that's for sure.
But you know, practicality is important, especially if you do
have somebody that's an outdoorsman, and you know, those gifts
do come in handy.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
If you don't mind me interacting with the monocary. Yeah,
with the monoculars and in binoculars, you can get them
through Amazon that they do recording and having that around.
If you're able to do a telescopic zoom on something
that you may think is you know, something you haven't
(19:21):
seen before and you want to try and identify, that's
a great way to capture the image. Some of the
monoculars may not have the best pixel pixel space or
you know, but I'd rather have that video image, even
if it's at a lower resolution than you know, if
(19:44):
we didn't have any image at all, Right.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
So, Matt, you make a good point. Now, I used
to sell those when I worked at radio Shack.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
Well, you need to be careful is when you buy
those units, make sure how they record, Yes, because most
of them don't actually record, like you condense the lens
to see half a mile.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Away, They're still only recording within so many feet of you. Yes,
so you have to be aware of that. You also
have to look at storage. Some of them only record
like twenty images and have no memory card spot. Sure,
So like when you go to do your research, do
a little research. Yes, you're gonna pay a little more
for some of these, but if you're looking you always
(20:29):
remember that if you bought a certain items, even though
you see the bear close, you know, like it's like here,
the recordings.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Still going to be that far away.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Sure, you know.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
So just it's a little things you learn from working
in an electronic shot.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah, and I mean you can get them now in
thermal you can get them in like night shot. I mean,
the monoculars are pretty they can get pretty intense. I'm
looking at one right now from Flear, the Thermal Monocular
Scout three twenty five hundred bucks. Yeah, you know, and
that's going to do an awful lot for you. And
I mean, and that's you know, everybody's varying degree of
(21:09):
what they're comfortable with and what they want to use.
You know, for years we've had people out there using Fleir,
but let's be honest, what most people are using is
kind of like that plumbing grade, you know, not made
for the work that we do out in the field.
And you start getting into a unit like that, you're
going to pay some money. That's you're going to be
dropping some coin on one of those flour cameras.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
So, like, I sorry to interject again, but so one
thing I would recommend is, I'm.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
A harbor freight guy.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
I have a project needs a certain tool, and I
don't know if I'm going to use it two hundred
times to make it worth it. I buy the cheaper
version to get the feel in the sense of it,
and if I see that it's part of my toolkit
on a regular basis, then I go buy the better.
So remember that, you know, like, yeah, they're twenty five
one hundred dollar units out there, but there's also ten
dollars units out there, just you know, right, I mean,
(22:05):
they's going to work for you in the moment and
then see if you like it, because I don't know, Sean,
you could get out there and go you use it
once and go I don't want to ever use this
damn thing.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yes, right, no, But I mean, and that's a great
thing to think about when you're talking about dropping some
serious coin on equipment. You can go broke buy an
equipment in this field. And and to your point, there's
varying degrees of equipment for everybody. Just because it's also
the most expensive doesn't mean it's the best suited for
what you're using it for. Yeah, you know, you really
(22:35):
have to watch out for that because sometimes this is
a little predatory and you're out there thinking, oh, I
just spent ten thousand dollars on the blah blah blah blah,
but that may not do anything for you, may not
be the right application for it. We talk about all
the time, how come we never get every picture we
get a bigfoots blurry. Well, it's because we don't take
the time to learn how to use it. We go
(22:56):
out there, we pick it up, we're going out there,
we're just snapping pictures. Most the people using those didn't
take the time to learn how.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
To use it.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
So take the time when you get this equipment, play
around with it. Practice, watch some YouTube tutorials. Go find
an expert that can show you how club Yeah there
are clubs. The more resource you can use, the better
off you are. Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Met vocal point, aperture, and camera speed. Those are like
the big three for photography. So I mean fortunately for us,
like you know, when we're just sitting there taking a picture,
you know, on Christmas Day with our iPhones or Samsung's,
it's already built in, but it takes great pictures, you know,
(23:41):
anywhere from you know, up close to you know, ten
to fifteen feet. But once you start getting out that range,
you know, then the AI in your phone is kind
of you know, struggling to keep up with it, even
on the zoom. So if you do have a good camera,
I'll tell you in I don't want to go too far,
(24:03):
you know, into what I would have for my list,
But talking about the cameras, you know, learning how to
use your camera, if you can manually do some settings
on your phones, you know, that would be a big help.
Or if you have a like a digital sl R
or or even one of these little cameras, that the
(24:24):
little carry cameras that you can do either manual or
it sets it to certain parameters landscape or yes, yep.
And especially I mean if you're out in the woods,
there is an outdoor setting, but there's also a sports
setting too, And the sports setting is gonna is going
(24:46):
to come in with a faster camera speed is so
that you're not going to get that blurry picture.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
And make sure that you learn how those speeds work,
how to do speed model. Here's the best to things
that I'll say. I sorry to break your thing there,
but two things I'll say is, for many years of
selling cameras, before you go out in the woods, before
you go on a trip to watch the whales, before
you do anything, go back in your backyard, throw a
(25:15):
stick at your dog and take as many pictures as
you can. See what worked, see what didn't work. You
don't have a dog, throw a stick at a kid. I mean,
tick one, all right, But I'll tell you you'll learn.
Like the other thing is is don't go cheap on accessories.
If you went expensive on a camera, right because if
you buy the wrong memory card, you could take a
(25:35):
thousand pictures in four seconds. But guess what you only
got a hundred of those because the memory card couldn't
keep up with as many times as you press the button.
The dog biting my foot, I'm gonna cue.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah, well said. That's one thing that that I get.
JB and I had talked about a long time ago
as we were selling cameras, is that, you know, the
accessories matter. It's not. It's a package. So I guess
we'll throw that on the list too. A good camera,
good assassories. Hey, some photography lessons that never heard anybody
did it right, So some good lists. Guys. It's that time.
(26:12):
We're at the middle of the hour. We gotta take
a break quick. We'll be back, folks, sasquatch experienced. Sean Palker,
Matt Arner, Henry May and James Baker will catch you
right after. This news team.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
A symbol.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Mopdays of Christmas. That's just a song about somebody who's
true love gave them an unseemly amount of birds. It
is calling birds, turtle doves, partridges. I don't know if
those are even real birds, to be honest with you,
I don't why's that last one coming his own treat?
That feels like a hanifisient packaging for birds. French hend
what is that chicken? The smokes? I don't know any
(26:56):
of these birds. It's not five. You get a break
from the birds like rings. Thank thank goodness. We're done
with the birds right, No, not even close day six
more birds not just more birds, geese alay and that's
more birds giving birth to more birds.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Ah, yes, birds. Well, Happy Christmas, adam to you. And
tomorrow being Christmas Eve, we would the five squatch tards
here would love to wish all of you a very
happy and safe holiday. And speaking of squatch tards, day
before yesterday, which was Saturday the twenty first, at approximately
(27:40):
three thirty pm, in the Gunnison National Forest in Colorado,
is quoted as saying, my girlfriend and I were driving
south on north State Highway one thirty five. We were
on our way back from Crested Butte Ski Resort, and
we had just passed the entrance to Roaring Judy Fish Hatchery.
(28:01):
That's a great name. As I was looking out the window,
which is a good thing to do if you're in
a vehicle, at the east Gunnison River and wooded area
that runs alongside the road, I noticed a figure standing
next to a tree in the marsh or water. I
couldn't tell which was which. The figure was what I
estimated to be about seven to seven and a half
(28:22):
feet tall, and it was about seventy five meters from
the road. Wait, who uses meters as their methodology of measurement. Oh,
they must have come down from Canada eight to go
skiing in Colorado. Oh YAKRAI we don't make fun of
our Canadian friends. We love Canada. Canada is America's hat. Anyway,
(28:43):
it goes on, I could clearly see a head and
two shoulders and arms hanging down to below the waist
below what I believe was in the water or marsh.
The figure was entirely black, with no variation in color,
and it didn't appear that it was wearing clothing. Well, okay,
I also believe it was facing away from me, looking
(29:04):
towards the opposite direction. Well, that's what looking away from
me would be the opposite direction. It was not moving
and was standing entirely straight up from what I could see.
He goes on to say that there was one small
house about a minute down the road from where I
saw it quote, and it appeared to be abandoned, and
(29:24):
there were no cars parked or people walking in that area.
From what we could see, there was also about a
foot of snow in at least twenty degrees outside. On
our way back, I then googled Gunnison National Forest Bigfoot,
and the very first thing that popped up was a
sighting in almost the same area with the exact same
(29:47):
description as I had seen. In my opinion, I believe
I saw Bigfoot and ironically standing in the water right
next to a fish hatchery looking for a dinner. I
can't think of a reason that someone would be standing
out there in the water, and I didn't see a
fishing pole. I couldn't make out any features, only the height,
(30:10):
stature and the long arms and solid black and cold.
When we come back, let's go visit some friends in
Georgia in the Middletons.

to be here with us tonight, but just having some
just having some issues. Scott, thanks for that information about
the stream stopping. Guys new to us as using the
(33:46):
stream labs. We're working out the kinks. We'll get through
it and I promise we'll get back to normal and
you folks won't even recognize we changed platforms anyhow. Sasquatch
Experience Sean Forkerg Baker, Henry May and Matt Arner Broad
h John, thank you. Merry Christmas. Lots of love back
to you. I'm telling you what, guys, I love our audience.
(34:09):
We have some great listeners, some great friends, some great fans.
We don't really call them fans. We call them friends.
We're not famous, We're just that's.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
Our good friend John Cartwright, by the way, is it
gotta love Jse our buddy JC.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
World's greatest bigfoot Hunter. That's right, that's right, the og
world's greatest bigfoot hunter. Don't let anybody tell you any different. Matt,
We've gone through Baker's list. Henry, do you or Matt,
which one of you guys want to go next?
Speaker 5 (34:41):
Henry? Why do you?
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Yeah? Well, one thing that I want to point out,
and we discussed this and several months ago when it
was released, was on the Trail of Bigfoot the Ancients.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
It is now on YouTube, by the way, if anybody
wants to see it in its entirety, but it's also
available for on small Townmosters dot com, Blu ray or
DVD if anybody wants to make a purchase. So no,
I recommend it.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
I think that's great, Henry, you know, and I think
you just kind of push us into the next stop
is you know a lot of our friends that have
some of these, you know, digital streaming systems and subscriptions.
Small Town Monsters has there as you become a squad
member over on YouTube and get access to just about
everything that they have in their catalog in four k
(35:39):
to become a squad member over there on the Small
Town Monsters YouTube. For anybody that's so inclined to do so,
it's worth it. It's worth it. Henry's Henry's laughing at
Baker's cheekiness going on behind the scenes. Uh huh, what
else you got, Henry? What else on that list? On
(35:59):
the trail Bigfoot the Ancients?
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (36:03):
And also also uh, The Secret History of Bigfoot by
John O'Connor. It's more of a skeptical book, but it's
a really good book, although I didn't really like all
the political stuff that was in it.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Oh give us a little primer.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
Well, a lot of Trump bashing.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Let's just say, oh, well, I mean, I guess, to
each their own in a book. I don't understand what
that's do with Bigfoot, but you know, to each their own, right.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
I mean, And that's regardless of how you feel about
Trump and whether you love him or hate him, right,
you should still stick to what you know that's talking
about Bigfoot.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
I just don't know how it correlates.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
I don't either, Oh, well, I would.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Say that Bigfoot would be more of a libertarian, right.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
I mean, think about the only sovereign citizen, right.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
I see him having those conservative values because he hides
from the liberal media.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Fake news I got.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
You know, I was watching Men in Black the other
day and I thought to myself, you know, that is
probably the most accurate dog. That is probably the accuratest
thing that Tommy Lee Jones ever says that. My god,
you know, the only ones who get it right are
the tabloid.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Mm hmmmm, well right, Henry got anything else on that list?
Speaker 6 (37:48):
Hmm? I can't really think of anything off the top
of my head.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Well, you had to have asked for something for Christmas?
What did you ask for?
Speaker 6 (38:00):
Pulled Wolverine?
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Oh okay, well that was okay, so that really wasn't
Bigfoot related, but you know what, good movie. Nonetheless, we'll
give you that one. All right, all right, Matt, we
go to you. Let's talk about Matt Arner's list of
Christmas e goodness.
Speaker 5 (38:15):
So it kind of came up earlier in the show.
If you want to. I don't know if you're able
to post that picture again.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
I am hold on one moment here when I find boom,
there we go.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
That was actually a Christmas gift from a coworker, one
of our younger guys. His name is Justice, a great officer,
and in every every event he always gets me something
Bigfoot related. So we ended up getting a Bigfoot ornament,
which I thought was very nice of him. Cool and
(38:53):
as you can see, the Bigfoot has a smile.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Well that's a smiley, happy bigfoot.
Speaker 5 (38:59):
Right it is. Now, if Cliff Rockman was looking at that,
he'd say, well, that's a little off because the fingers,
you know, the thumb is gonna be want to be
a little different. Yeah. So anyways, one thing that Henry
kind of brought up earlier that I was gonna put
(39:21):
on my list, and of course you can't buy it
right now, but actually, you know, to put a a
you know, hey, this is why he went in the
spring is The Bigfoot of Left Creek by Daniel Perez Uh.
That is that looks to be like an awesome, awesome book.
So every Daniel puts out some wonderful and wonderful material
(39:46):
out there along with the big Foot time. So both
of those highly endorsed. So there was a couple of
things that I was thinking during the break there was
one or two pieces of equipment. One is from Wildlife
Acoustics and it's called the song Meaner many too. I
(40:10):
actually have that. I have not been able to set
it up yet because it does require a little bit
of technical knowledge that I'm not, you know, so inclined with.
But what that does is it basically takes the place
of the of your audio recorder and being able to
(40:30):
set it at different times. So this is particularly used
for bird researchers. But one thing that just from talking
to other users, they use it at night for owls,
so you can set it for a certain hour. And
one thing I would probably do is, you know, like
(40:52):
especially in the spring or the fall, I probably put
it around maybe midnight to four am, uh to record
and if it picks up anything, it will. Uh. It
supposedly does a great job with the with the recording.
So this spring I'm gonna try and get that out
in the woods and uh see how we do with that.
(41:15):
So one thing that I was thinking that's kind of
outside the box with uh yes, uh with the gift
is plan a vacation. And when I say plan a vacation,
try to try to find one of these you know
kind of decent locations that are you know within uh
(41:39):
you know, maybe a day's drive, Uh, book an Airbnb,
find a campground, uh, do something and go hiking through there.
Spend some time out in the out in the woods
at night. You know, if you could, you know, drive
down the back roads. That's a lot of stuff that
uh that I'll do. Uh Sean and I have done,
(41:59):
you know, going through the back roads of north central PA. Uh.
Try to find, you know, go to a place where
I'd like to go that's within the you know, relatively
short drive of US is Whitehall, New York, up in
the Anarondicks. I think that would be a fantastic uh,
(42:19):
you know, even if you're just going up there for
for a couple of days. Try to find There's places
all around the United States that seem to have a
cluster of sightings and counters that seemed to be hotspots,
uh for us. In Pennsylvania, maybe the Allan King National Forest, Uh,
because that that really seems to be a hotspot lately. Uh.
(42:43):
New York, Uh, the Anarondicks, you know, Vermont where Alex
Pattakov is in through that area. Uh. There's so many
different areas in our area, like in our region. But
then look at the south, you know, uh the Smoking
(43:04):
National Park. Uh, maybe down in uh Okeechobee or or
one of those places down in Florida. You know, all
throughout the southeast, uh, Midwest. Uh there's some some great
areas to explore up there, especially in Minnesota. I'm not
(43:25):
so familiar about the Great Plains, but uh, but definitely
for you know, and then when you're out west, you know,
you got your you know, your pick of choices up there.
So what I would say is, if you're looking to
have a big Foot gift, you know, maybe not so
much under the tree, but but have a gift for you,
(43:46):
plan a plan a day trip or or plan a
a weekend trip, you know, to one of these places,
and you know, check it out. Uh, speak to some locals. Uh.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
You know.
Speaker 5 (44:01):
Some of these places now have museums around. Uh check
those out, and you know, go out for a night hike,
go out for a d hike. You never know what
you're gonna find.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
Well, and a Mettico point there too. Some of these museums,
North American Bigfoot Center, the International crypt Zoology Museum. Uh,
they're always looking for donations, and they're always looking for support.
You can either join their patreons or join their you know,
charitable giving. You can't go wrong supporting those two great institutions.
(44:34):
Let's see what else could you do? You know, we'll
go over into some of my lists though, Matt, that
you touched on, you know, as we talk about last
minute gifts, and you and I pontificate on this product
a lot on X maps, on X hunting. It is
a well, I don't want to be dramatic, a life saver,
(44:54):
but I will tell you it does a pretty decent
job in delinear between public and private lands. So when
you're out there, look what you know. You and I
when we were out the last time, we discovered that
road we were on really wasn't a road at all
thanks to onyx match right, Yeah, which was a big
(45:17):
That was a really big deal to discover that because
it really put us into some UH into the place
where we were told we should have been and didn't
even realize we were there.
Speaker 5 (45:28):
So the one the one good point about onyx is
if we get enough of us that are using onyx
UH in the field that you can drop pins and say, hey,
you know, we had something happen here or this is
where on ex right, Yes, this is where. This is
(45:50):
where we were. We we didn't get any activity, but
it seems like a like a pretty decent area. You
can set those pins and it'll take you right there. Uh.
I put up game cameras and I except for one
which was my which was my cell camera, I marked
their location and I've been out like completely lost, thinking,
(46:14):
oh my god, I'm never gonna find find this camera.
And there it is, within like you know, generally about
three to four feet of where I set the pin.
I did have a cell camera that I did not mark,
and we kind of know where it's at, but I'm
gonna have to wait till the snowfall melts a little
(46:35):
bit before I go back there. But but being able
to share those pins with other researchers, We've had witnesses.
I had a witness he had some encounters in north
central PA. He sent me the Onyx pins from where
his signings were. So definitely a huge, huge, you know gift.
Speaker 3 (47:00):
Right now, I'm an elite member, which does have a
little bit of a cost associated with it, but if
you go to Onyx hunt and discover it, it's on
x try dot onyxmaps dot com. There's an Elite membership.
You can get a free trial to start it off too.
I use the Elite because of some of the features.
(47:21):
Matt and I talk about being able to do that.
And it's one hundred dollars a year, which is not
going to break the bank. You know, you could do
a fourteen ninety nine a monthly subscription, or you could
do the year for one hundred dollars. I jumped into
the air. It was well worth it. And you can
use it on your laptop, you could use it on
a tablet, use it on your phone. It uses that
one accounts very versatile. And again it's a product Matt
(47:44):
and I really believe in, yep.
Speaker 5 (47:46):
And there are substantial discounts if you're a first responder
or a veteran.
Speaker 3 (47:50):
Now there you go. That's our little cheap plug, not
cheap plug, a plug for on ex hunting maps. And
I guess another one. I talk about a good pair
of boots. We talk about this all the time, Matt,
but we're starting to become a member of a certain brigade. Yes,
the Obas brigade.
Speaker 5 (48:10):
Yes, yep, absolutely, I got them up in my closet
right there.
Speaker 3 (48:15):
Matt turned me on to them, and they're moderately priced
pair of boots, but you won't go wrong with them.
They're very comfortable. Alex Pettakov has a pair. You have
a pair. I have a pair. They wear pretty well
and they fit good on the feet, super comfortable, And
I think Matt's probably gonna grab him. Hold still, folks.
(48:39):
He's a tall guy, folks, look at him. He's a
sasquatch himself. There, mister Matt big Fella, joining the live
stream once again. Welcome back.
Speaker 5 (48:54):
Oh so, what I'm going to show you, guys, is
the difference between Meryl Hikers h Merrill mo app three,
which is a decent shoe, a decent boot, but the
difference between that and the Obo. So you see this
and what happens is you get this flexibility. I mean,
this shoe can go like this, you know, it go
(49:15):
all the way up to the tongue. That's good if
you're walking like on the street, on a paved you know,
on a paved road something like that. This is the
Ebos and it does not go. It's a lot more
firm in its support, so it doesn't go all the
(49:35):
way back. The reason why that's important is when you're
on when you're off trail, you want to have a
boot that's more supportive, more firm like this, that's not
going to be, you know, going like this every you know,
over every rock. You you really can't can't have that
(49:57):
because that is going to not just hurt your feet,
but it's also going to hurt your ankles, hurt your legs.
So you want to have something that's a little more
uh you know, sturdy, sturdy, correct, yes, and.
Speaker 4 (50:17):
When it does that because I've learned with my boots.
My boots are quite old, but their work boots. I
wear a pair I wear that I wear a pair
of thick socks on them, and I've noticed that when
my my boot bends, it scruffs the top of my shoe,
it scruffs the top of my foot, and I get
a blister on the top of my foot.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
It's because of the way it does when it when.
Speaker 4 (50:42):
It pops your foot up, it scrapes it across the top.
So if you get boots that have more of a
rugged sole, they'll actually And the other thing is is
they make it when you grip the ground, there's less
chances you being on your ass.
Speaker 3 (50:54):
Yeah, well you don't want to roll your ankles importantly.
I mean that's you'd be pulling me out. You really
want it to be supportive, and that's why, you know,
we kind of do little episodes like this. You know,
they'll set you back about what maybe two fifty for
a good pair, if that you can get them on
(51:15):
sale from time to time. Yeah, it depends on your
size and which version you go with, because they do
have a higher one and then you know, to give
you some more ankle support. But again, when I have
a pair of Marbles, I have a pair of h
oh bohs. I like those better. They feel better on
my feet. The first weekend I bought them, I wore them.
(51:36):
And normally you don't want to break a pair of
shoes in like that, and I did and they didn't
bother me at all. No blisters, know, nothing, very comfortable.
And again I always think Matt because it was his recommendation,
I have no regrets. So put that on your list, folks,
And you know, in the show notes, we'll try to
get some links to the products we're talking about in
(51:57):
there when they get posted. This week above and beyond
that is, as you know, we can start talking about maps.
Garmin's really up the ante with their GPS mapping watches,
the smart watches. Matt's got one. I'm still on an
(52:18):
Apple Ultra, but aside from their sixteen day battery, it's
actually forty seven days. I believe in GPS mode, and
the sizings on them are pretty decent, anywhere from forty
three to fifty one millimeter. They got a good screen
on them, and the mapping software in them is, you know,
second to none. It's got that good Garment brand and
(52:40):
the smart features work fantastica and if you're into fitness,
some of the features you have for fitness are you know,
up to par with the with the Apple Watch. But
it gives you that rugged, ruggedness. You're not gonna be
really worried, afraid to wear it outdoors and break it.
And that'll set you back about eleven or bucks for
the Phoenix eight the Amalid screen, but I'll tell you guys,
(53:05):
it's slick and it's worth that. You can pick that
right up on Amazon or even from Garman's website.
Speaker 5 (53:10):
I have I have the instinct too, and I don't
have the Solar one. I just have the regular instinct too,
and I think that was about three hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (53:20):
Yeah, I mean, and there's a there's a watch out
there for every price point. Of course, you know me,
I picked the fancy one. Forkers a little bougie when
it comes to that stuff. But uh no, I mean,
and there's just a whole slew of things we talked about.
We try to keep it to a few of us.
Vance had put in uh polarized yellow polarized glasses for
(53:40):
by night Sight in a vintage audio cassette recorder that
are out there. And you know, as we've talked about
some of the luck that's happened with you know, we
go back to the Sierra Sounds and how they use
kind of like real to real and you know, analog equipment.
Is there something to be said for analog versus digital?
(54:03):
And our Vance is you know, trying to get more
folks to try that out. So going back to those
vintage recorders with the cassette tapes never hurts to try.
And they're very economical. You can pit them up just
about anywhere, starting at about thirty dollars and probably more if
you could find them at a thrift store or a
you know pawn shop or you know second hand store.
(54:25):
I'm sure there's a bunch of them still hanging around
that you could pick up. And of course he said, ah,
what did he put a He put a rifle.
Speaker 5 (54:33):
In their matt.
Speaker 3 (54:37):
That may be more your expertise to talk about.
Speaker 5 (54:40):
Well what rifle did he put in?
Speaker 3 (54:42):
Lever action rifle forty five seventy?
Speaker 4 (54:45):
Yeah, yeah, you shoot your eye out, kid, You'll shoot
your eye out, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6 (54:50):
And of course money.
Speaker 3 (54:52):
Vans put money on there, because you know, all these
things take money. So if you're looking for that, really
that last minute gift, what better is there thing? Cash?
Speaker 5 (55:01):
Yes, well yeah than cash.
Speaker 3 (55:03):
That you can go and spend on your own bigfoot stuff.
But hopefully we gave you a little teas and a
little primer of some great gifts you can get. And
like I said, we'll put links in the show notes
so folks know. I wrote them all down here, so
folks know. Guys, thank you so much tonight for popping.
Can you believe this hour is almost done already?
Speaker 5 (55:21):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (55:21):
Yeah, it's the last show for twenty twenty five and
our twenty twenty four. When we come back, it'll be
twenty twenty five, going into a whole new slewid adventures
next year. But I guess you know, I'll leave us
with that thought. You know, we should all try to
spend more time in the woods next year. All get
out there, live a little better, get disconnect, get our
(55:42):
minds fresh, and it just takes some time to smell
the roses. Literally, go out and smell the roses. Get
ourselves some mental refreshers so we can have a great year.
And you know, respect and love one another just a
little more. Henry, why don't you take us out with
those dulcet tones.
Speaker 6 (55:58):
You all be good, be good.
Speaker 3 (56:00):
Merry Christmas, Mary, christ Marry Christmas.
