Starting point is 00:02:22 who shares some incredible recordings he's captured over the years in the Bumping Lake area of Washington. If you've experienced something similar to what Tristan has or have more information regarding Bigfoot or other cryptids in the same areas, please reach out immediately to me after this episode. Remember, your encounter could be the key to unlocking this mystery once and for all, so please don't hesitate to contact me at Bigfoot Society at gmail.com. All right, Bigfoot Society, you've got the privilege of talking to Tristan Yolton today.
Starting point is 00:02:52 He's a Bigfoot researcher from Washington State. How's it going today, Tristan? It's going great. Thanks for having me on. Yeah, you got it. It's a lot of people have been thrown your name around, and I remember seeing you in Tate's, I believe, is a bumping lake documentary
Starting point is 00:03:09 he did in his series. Asquatch, searched for Sabbe. But is there anything else that the listeners should know about you, Tristan, to kind of set the stage? Well, growing up, I've always been interested in monsters and creatures and Bigfoot was one of the things
Starting point is 00:03:26 I was interested in, but I was never, I was never interested in going out there looking for it. It was just something that I like dinosaurs and aliens and things like that, Godzilla. I like those kind of things. growing up and Bigfoot was just another thing that I liked that was interested in. But I never had any, I didn't want to go out to look for it.
Starting point is 00:03:48 I just thought it was just something cool. So that all changed for me, though, in 2015, when my father heard some whoops coming up from this hill behind our house one morning while he was sticking the trash out. And he didn't tell us about this until a week later because he didn't really think anything of it. But I guess he was kind of stewing about it and maybe thought maybe it could be sassie. Squatch. So he brought it up to me and my mom and we were like totally surprised. And so we decided to go up there. My mom decided to go up on the sill and we left a recorder out and a jar of peanut butter and some peanut butter crackers.
Starting point is 00:04:25 And the next day when we went up there, the jar looked like the jar looked like there was a hand that went inside of it. You could see some possible derminal ridges on the inside of the jar and possible finger holes inside of it, possibly something. something took its hand in there and scooped it out, scooped out the peanut butter. And the peanut butter crackers were, they were gone, but they looked like they were opened very neatly, not ripped open like some kind of, like a bear or something would do it. It kind of looked like somebody carefully opened it and took the crackers out and ate it. And the weird thing, the most weird thing is I had this recorder strapped to a stump with a bungee cord on it. And when I went over to it, the recorder looked fine. It looked like nothing touched it.
Starting point is 00:05:10 But when I went home and listened to it on the computer, about an hour after we left the recorder up on this hill, and it became dark, I would say about an hour later. Something came in, and as you hear on one of the recordings I have, you'll hear it eat the food, and then I guess it sees my recorder, it comes over to the recorder, it starts growling and messing with it, fumbling with it. and I mean, the thing is, there's no marks on the recorder or anything like that, so I had no idea that occurred.
Starting point is 00:05:44 And I've left recorders out in the woods before, and I've had bears take them and chop on them and eat them the bits. And whatever this thing was didn't do that. So that was very strange to me. And was that a bear that did this? I have no idea, but it's not the same kind of behavior that I've experienced with other recorders. So it really makes me wonder. And also on the recording, there's this really loud, at the beginning of it, there's a really loud humming feedback kind of a sound.
Starting point is 00:06:16 And I don't know if that's a moth going by or something else, but some kind of weird interference that just goes by the recorder. And then a few seconds later, you'll hear a possible wood knock in the background and a woop. And then about 30 seconds later, this one you start hearing this thing, start coming in and start eating the food. And then you'll hear a loud, really deep growl. I guess it sees my recorder. And then about a few seconds later, that's when you hear it come over to the recorder
Starting point is 00:06:45 and start really growling and messing with a fumbling with the recorder. So, and then after that happens, it just leaves. It just stops what it's doing and it just leaves and just silence. So again, if it was a bear, I would think the bear would really try to, try to eat it and scratch it and chop at it. But my recorder was intact. There was no scratches or tooth marks or anything on it. So that really perplexed me.
Starting point is 00:07:13 And to the state, I have no idea what that was. But with some of the sounds that you can hear on the recording, such as the possible wood knock in the loop in the background, makes you wonder what was going on up there. That is really weird. Because it is an interesting one. Let's give listeners a little bit of, context in that area where you had those Bigfoot interactions at the beginning,
Starting point is 00:10:53 are you comfortable with a certain region of Washington that you were in to give context for the listener? I'll just say it's near the Cascade Range, near the mountains. Yeah, it's not, it's not near the Olympics or anything like that, like where the Olympic project is. It's like totally near the mountains. So, and that's the thing, too, like this area around where I am, it's surrounded by forests and mountains everywhere. So it's the possibility of a Sasquatch been around is very, very high, in my opinion, very possible. What I think is happening or was happening, because I don't, I don't even know if they're still going on up there, if that's what they are, if that's what it was. But we were thinking maybe this, this hill was a travel route for them.
Starting point is 00:11:34 And maybe they're going to and from like every night or every few days or something like that through there. Because there's really no, at the time, there's really no development up there. It's just pretty much woods up there and there's also a stream up there. So maybe they felt comfortable and traveling that as a route every night or whatever they wanted to during the night without being detected or being seen by anybody. And one other thing I want to mention about my dad's encounter, if you want to call it. After what you think is, he was taking the trash out in the morning and then he was going to go to work. So on his way to work down down our road here, he saw it. a herd of elk standing in the middle of the road,
Starting point is 00:12:18 and they were all looking up towards the direction of this hill up here. So they must have heard those whoops that my dad heard, and maybe that spooked them. My dad had to drive around that herd of elk that was standing in the road. He thought that was very odd behavior to see them do that, to be focused on the hill up there. I can't say for sure that there was a big foot, but really makes you wonder, though.
Starting point is 00:12:42 It sounds like you got interested in the whole, bigfoot thing is that right yes oh yeah yeah definitely it's pretty shocking to me because after all these years of living out here i never had a clue that bigfoot exists that they would probably be right right near where where i live so that was a huge shock to me and that really got me interested and maybe i should start investigating this more and the audio of course hearing the audio just really that really started it so so yeah after i did that i started i started checking around i started I started looking on websites for sightings and Bigfoot groups. And I won't say the name, but we did get in contact with the Bigfoot group,
Starting point is 00:13:23 and we started searching with them for a few years, going campouts with them. That was able to teach me some more things about what's going on out there possibly. But unfortunately, I haven't really experienced that much with that group. Being part of that group, though, it did teach me things of what to look for and maybe hard to approach some of my research. So it's mostly been on my own kind of research is that where I've been able to collect things mostly. But I will say there's been some times where I have collected some audio like a Bumping Lake.
Starting point is 00:13:55 If we would go to Bumping Lake, I would collect some audio there with them. So talking about Bumping Lake, which if you're in the Bigfoot community, that's a buzzword area that's been going around quite a bit over the last few years. Can you describe the Bumping Lake area? From what I know, it's a lake that is to the east of Mount Rainier, correct? Yeah, roughly. Yes. Very high up in elevation, too, 3,000 feet or so up in elevation. There's two ways you can get there.
Starting point is 00:14:28 There's one way from Yakima to get there. And there's another way through to get there called Chinook Pass, where you basically have to climb up this pass of this mountain to get there. For me, it takes almost three hours to get the Bumping Lake. and the bumpy lake road itself, it'll take you 45 minutes to an hour just to get to the lake itself. It's a long, the main road getting there
Starting point is 00:14:50 is a long road to take. And then there's some campsites. So here's the thing. The bumping leg is very huge. It's a very huge lake. There's some primitive campsites behind it. There's a dirt road behind it, which leads to these primitive campsites.
Starting point is 00:15:06 And that's where we like to go in terms of our campouts, because it's away from the lake. It's more towards the mountains. And there's some RV camp spots right next to the lake. And that's where a lot of people congregate and populate there. And we try to get away from that as much as we can. And obviously during the summer, it's very popular.
Starting point is 00:15:25 You'll see a whole bunch of people out there fishing and rafting, doing all sorts of stuff out on the lakes. The surrounding area bumping leg is this of forest and mountains. And in my opinion, it's perfect habitat for these guys. Like, though, there's elk there, all sorts of wildlife. And of course, you've got the big lake, the source of water. And there's also little creeks and streams around. And a lot of woods, a lot of high peaks and everything.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Like, it's perfect for these guys to be there. And, yeah. Are there reports going back pretty far of seeing Bigfoot there? Or is this a thing where it's just more recent times that people were realizing that there have been Bigfoot seen and heard in that area? Kind of like what you mentioned, like, Bucking Lake has been, it seems to be more popular in the past few years. But from what I understand, it's been kind of like a secret area for a lot of Bigfoot researchers. Not a lot of people know about it until maybe the past couple of years. But I guess that's because more people are hearing about it and, you know, taking more people up there.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Kind of like what happened with my Bigfoot group is that they took us up. Right. It wasn't really a well-known thing everywhere. It was just more kind of a secret area for a lot of the, I would say maybe one. Washington researchers. As far as how far back, I mean, it could be back from the 80s and 90s from what I know. Yeah, there could be a lot of people. I know people going up there for years.
Starting point is 00:16:53 So it could be reports could be stretching from years back possibly. I bet you can probably search for reports dating back back then, too. Oh, no doubt. Yeah. If you know where to look for those, you know what I mean? Right, exactly. So. I was looking through all the files and folders you sent over.
Starting point is 00:17:17 And one of the things I got right away is that you've been studying, you've been researching this area and gotten evidence out of it for multiple years. There were folders 2020, 2021, 2022. I have type two diabetes, but I manage it well. It's a little pill with the big story to tell. I take one's day.

What kind of things have come out of your time researching in the Bumping Lake area that you consider interesting when it comes to Bigfoot research? Well, I guess the main thing for me, a bump and leg, is gather an audio at these primitive campsites.
Starting point is 00:20:08 As I named in some of the folders, there's one called California Camp. There's two main, for me, there's two main camps that I go to that were introduced to me with my Bigfoot group that I was going with. One is called California Camp and another one is called Rock Camp. And the interesting thing about those is that there are, there are, mile apart from each other, not that close to each other, but it's still very far out there, the very remote primitive camp spots. And Rock Camp, for example, was very popular with the Bigfooters. Like, I've gone there and I've seen other Bigfooters camp there. So it's a very well-known spot. And I know, I know that Bob Gimlin, he's been there before and he's had some stuff
Starting point is 00:20:53 happened to him there. Oh, really? That's cool. Yeah. So, yeah, it's a very, it's a very popular spot. But, but yeah, they call it rock camp because it's a camp that's kind of, it's like a circular camp that's surrounded by some high cliffs and peaks behind it. And there's a big rock shell behind it. And but I guess that's where they got rock camp from. I really don't know for sure. But that's what I'm assuming why they call it rock camp. And for me, that's the majority of my Bigfoot audio, if you want to call it that, has occurred at this camp. There's a little hill above.
Starting point is 00:21:33 There's a, within this big circle, there's a camp, there's like a main campfire. And behind it, there's just a bunch of woods, basically. And then there's like a rock shale. And then that mountain peaks behind it, all surrounded by woods. If you watch Tate's documentary, you'll see some of that. And the thing is, I believe that if there's saskwatch there, they are coming down from that mountain, mountain peak and rock shale. and they're coming down to this hill that's right above our camp
Starting point is 00:22:01 and they're watching us at the campfire or doing whatever. But I think they come down and watch us from this hill that's behind us. I possibly think they're juveniles because when I put an audio recorder up in this hill, I've gotten some, I mean, as you probably heard on the audio,
Starting point is 00:22:18 I've gotten some weird language kind of sounds and beach and chatter and stuff like that. And that's not us. We're not making those sounds at the campfire. I mean, I have these recorders pointing at the woods and there's no campers behind us. That's all woods back up in there. So something's coming down and making those sounds, man. And I can't say for sure it's Sasquatch because I didn't see it.
Starting point is 00:22:39 But something is making those sounds. It could be juveniles doing that. Before we get into some of the audio, just to clarify, you've got the California camp and the rock camp. You said are a mile apart from each other, right? Yeah. Yeah. Those camps are a mile. So there's like a dirt road, right?
Starting point is 00:22:59 There's a, it's a bumpy dirt road. It's really, it's not paved or anything like that. It's really rough on your tires. I would, I've seen people go through it like crazy, but they shouldn't because they'll pop a tire easily. It's a very, these are very primitive campsites. Some of the campsites are a mile apart. Others are like maybe across the road, but still still a little ways away from each other.
Starting point is 00:23:21 But like I said, like this rock camp, for example, there's no campsites behind. behind us there. So there's no way anybody can come through there from behind. I'm getting like some of these sounds are happening way late at night too. So who the heck is outside behind us doing that? That's what I'm curious as to the con. So you listen to some of these sounds and I'm like, I got to have the context in the story behind these sounds because some of them are wild, man.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Let's go ahead and let's start with one of them. I'll play the sound first and then you can give the story behind it. So there we go. That's so wild, dude. So that wasn't recorded up bumping lake, which is fine. That was recorded at an area about an hour away behind my house. That's behind your house? Well, it's like an hour away from us.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Yeah. Yeah, it's not like right behind. I mean, there's a forested area. We're just logging that happens about what it's like, warehouse used to be behind us back here and somebody else bought them out. but it's a big lumbered forest area that you can in some spots you can only get in through a permit there's some gates but you have to have a permit to get in and this this area is one of those I'll just say it's near a lake it's near a lake behind one of these permitted gates
Starting point is 00:25:27 and my mom and I went went to the spot one time and we were just researching her oh well The thing is, we've camped in this spot before, and I've had an audio recorder in a tree next to our truck. We camped in a truck one time, and I had an audio recorder on this tree next to our truck. And during the night, something was throwing pebbles at our truck. And you could hear a whoop. Yeah, you could hear a whoop, too. Oh, my goodness. So that really got me excited.
Starting point is 00:26:03 There was an outtimate camp there in the same truck. And I put a recorder out in these woods here near this lake. And about 3 o'clock in the morning, I woke up and I said, you know what? I just want to get the hell out of here. So I'm going to go out there. And I'm just going to get the recorder and come back and we can go home. So I did that. And the thing is, I didn't have a flashlight on me or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:26:26 I just had the moomite. So I just followed the moonlight to the recorder into these woods. And when I picked up the recorder, as soon as I picked up the recorder and turned around, It was a loud growl behind me. No way. It scared the hell on me. And I did not look behind me. I just stared right ahead and I walked all the way back to my truck, all the way back to my truck.
Starting point is 00:26:49 And I got in my truck and my mom saw me and the first thing she said was, you're as white as a ghost. And what I said was drive. All I told her was drive. And we got the hell out of there. So that really freaked me out And that helped get some interest in this area So that recording that you just played She and I went up there during the daytime
Starting point is 00:27:14 And on her way out I did a really loud whoop Where I was when I did the whoop I was away from the lake But close enough for the sound to carry across the lake But I couldn't hear from where I was I can't hear anything coming from the lake So that whoop response
Starting point is 00:27:32 There's two whoop responses you hear in it. Those I couldn't hear. Those were on the recorder when I listened to them. And the wood knocks, the wood knocks sounds that you hear were me doing that. So those two whoop responses you hear after my initial whoop. And then you hear the, Okay, got it, got it, got it. The two whoops was something in response to me, those two whoops there.
Starting point is 00:27:57 And then, so yeah, yeah, there's my initial whoop. And then you hear that whoop, whoop. wasn't me. Wow. And then I did the Knox. I did the three knocks. And then you hear one more whoop, which was kind of like a buildup.
Starting point is 00:28:11 It goes, whoop. Yeah. You know what? That was like a buildup kind of a loop. And that wasn't me or anybody. You first, then your knocks,
Starting point is 00:28:23 then two whoop responses. No, it goes like this. It goes, my first whoop, I go, whoop. Yep.
Starting point is 00:28:32 And something goes whoop, whoop. And again, I didn't hear that in person. I didn't hear that. Wow. And then, so that's the thing. I didn't, I didn't hear a response. So I just said, well, maybe I'll do a wood knock. Maybe I'll get something.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Oh, okay. So after, so for me, for me, it was silence after I did my initial whoops. So I did three knocks. And then that's when you hear that response again, the buildup response. It goes, woo, who. Let's listen to it again. Now that we have the story. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:04 That's fantastic. Yeah. What was your response when you heard that audio recorder and you heard the responses on there that you had an heard in real life? Dude, it was total wow. Like, where the hell would this come from? Because I didn't hear that in person. And there was nobody else out there with this, man. It was just me and my mom.
Starting point is 00:30:06 So it was shocking. Total shock. Like, where do the hell of this come from? Because I couldn't hear it from. where I was. So where I had the recorder, where I had the recorder place, I guess it was closer to wherever this thing was. So the recorder was able to pick that up,
Starting point is 00:30:22 but I couldn't hear with my own ears. So maybe the recorder, maybe it amplifies sound. So maybe that's why you hear it better. But in person, man, I couldn't hear any of that. So that's why I did the whoop and then the knocks, because I was thinking, well, if I'm not going to get a response with a whoop, maybe I'll try some knocks.
Starting point is 00:30:38 They're similar, but the response one, it does ramp up. And, oh, man, it's hard to describe, but it's very cool. That's the thing. That wasn't my whoop you heard the second time or third time because my whoop's like, but this thing, if you listen to it more, it sounds more natural, like a more natural kind of a whoop sound, something that's different than me, especially like that ramp, like you're talking about that third one,
Starting point is 00:31:03 when it goes, woo, I wasn't doing that. Wow. Yeah. That's awesome, dude. That's legit. Let's go on to another one. And this is the drumming one. I'm really curious what this. I'll play it for you so you remember.
Starting point is 00:31:21 And then I'm just curious what the story is behind this one. What's the story there? Oh, yeah. I remember that one. This was at Rock Camp and me and some fellow researchers were at a campfire. And that's the thing, too. We like to make some noise at the campfire, try to hopefully bring them in. that's our way, using drums and instruments and talking and laughing.
Starting point is 00:32:00 We were hoping that will bring the Sasquatch in. And so what happened on that one night is I had, the thing is I always have my recorders placed up on this hill behind camp, either just a digital recorder or with a parabolic mic as well. I got a parabolic mic a couple years ago, so I've been using that more. For this recording, I think I had a task cam recorder for that. and I just had that strapped to a tree and I have that pointed towards the mountain
Starting point is 00:32:27 towards the woods. That's another thing too. I place these recorders pretty far up on this hill into the woods. I try to put them away, far away from camp as possible. But with the surrounding area around us, any sound we make at the campfire is going to kind of echo around, so I'm going to
Starting point is 00:32:43 pick them up. But if you hear in the beginning of that recording, you'll hear like a female voice and like a real deep male voice closer the recorder and I don't think that was one of us making those sounds like that last set that last sound where it goes war roar roar you know that the real loud thing yeah that wasn't us man you don't know what that is no anything close to the recorder in my opinion is something that's close to the recorder not us
Starting point is 00:33:12 goodness that's what I'm saying like when you're when you hear those voices and the like those far off voices like he sounds like somebody's singing I think that's one of us at the campfire but when you hear something closer to the recorder. Like there's a, there's a female voice that's kind of, that's close to recorder. And it's saying something that you can't even understand what she's saying,
Starting point is 00:33:30 because it sounds like a different language. And then you hear like a male response to that, I believe, towards the end of it, that real deep, rah, rar, sound. And again,
Starting point is 00:33:41 it sounds like a language that doesn't sound English or anything to me. So, wow. I think they're conversing, if it's a Sasquatch, I think they're conversing with each other while watching us at the campfire.
Starting point is 00:33:52 So, yeah, you hear singing and stuff in drumming and the recording as well. But if you hear some real, you know, close voices, I think that's what could be Sasquatch, possibly. All right. Let's listen to that again then. That's some good context. Here we go. That's weird. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Oh, man, that is weird. So did you hear that female kind of voice in the beginning? Yeah. And it sounds like a different language to it, right? It doesn't sound like any kind of English. It's kind of hard. to explain, but it's, it just sounds like it has some kind of odd native language to me. And in that response, that was a real deep response when it goes about it.
Starting point is 00:34:46 That's weird, man. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. So, yeah. Roughly how long ago is that? That might be from 2000. I don't know if it's dated on there, but it might be from 2020.
Starting point is 00:34:58 I have type two diabetes, but I manage it well. It's a little bill with the big story to tell. I take one's day. Gordians at each day start.

Plan B made over-the-counter emergency contraception legal more than 20 years ago. It's a safe, effective backup birth control option that helps prevent pregnancy before it starts by temporarily delaying ovulation.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Plan B is the number one OBGYN recommended brand, and the only one that you can find at all major retailers in all 50 U.S. states. There's no minimum age requirement and you don't need an ID to buy it. it. You can order it through DoorDash and other major delivery platforms too. That's freedom to be. Use as directed. I've been, yeah, the past couple of years, I've been getting a lot of audio up on that hill every time we go there. In fact, I even got some during Tate's expedition as well. I think I included those in your folders. But on the last night, we were there with Tate. Paul Graves is playing his guitar and singing. And then up on the hill there, you get a of response stuff happens.
Starting point is 00:37:39 There's a, there's something that goes, whoa, and then you hear like a wood knock or like a whack sound. The real funny thing about the stuff is that we don't really hear the, we don't hear the stuff at the campfire.
Starting point is 00:37:51 This is all on the recordings. There's been a couple instances though, and I don't know if I can't remember if I included them in the files, but we had a friend at the campfire one time and he went, Woo-Ha! And then on from the hill behind us,
Starting point is 00:38:06 you can hear something, mimic him twice. And I actually really person. Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah. And I can't remember if I I can't remember if I have that in your audio recording so I sent you, but yeah, that's... I don't remember that one. Or maybe I just didn't know what it was at the time. It's all good. But that's
Starting point is 00:38:23 one of the things we've heard at that campfire is like those kind of responses. If these are Sasquatch, I think they're juveniles coming in to watch us and messing with us. It's almost like you need, you need a way to do like a live monitoring of the audio that's being captured in your camp at the same time that you're recording. I don't know if there's even a way to do that. That's cheap enough for most big footers, myself included.
Starting point is 00:38:51 I've thought about camping up on this hill, but I'm kind of afraid to. But at the same time, I kind of want to do it now just to see if something happens if I see anything. Well, I don't know. If you don't, you're going to be regretting it for the rest of your life. when you're an old dude, you're going to be like, I should have done it. Dude, you should do it. That would be why. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:39:13 I probably should. But again, is that going to deter them? I don't know. Maybe they feel comfortable on a hill. So if I go up there and actually stay up there, maybe they'll scare them off. So I don't know. Or they might feel threatened. I mean, you never know unless you try, right?
Starting point is 00:39:29 Exactly. Yeah, unless you try. And another thing I want to bring up is that there's been some forest fires up up in Lake the past couple summers. Oh, really? So I think that might have just disrupted some things. So that's the other thing, too. Not every time you go there, you're going to get something.
Starting point is 00:39:43 And so I think everybody should know that is that don't always expect to get anything every time you go there. It's just luck. And also real quick, that recording, I sent you the 30-minute one, the one I ran out to show the chorus. Yeah. That was a California camp a couple years ago. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:01 It was just me and my mom camping there. at 2 o'clock in the morning, these things started going off. And it woke me up. And unfortunately, her hearing isn't the best, which he couldn't hear it in person. But I'll tell you, man, like the recording doesn't do it justice. It was so freaking loud. And it was coming from different directions, too.
Starting point is 00:40:20 It wasn't coming from one source. So I don't know what it was. I can't say for sure with Sasquatch, but in my personal opinion, it's either Sasquatch or somebody making those sounds. I don't think it was any other. animal out there. Because they sound like, it sound like some kind of vocal, like some kind of vocal track
Starting point is 00:40:41 making those, like a hot human way doing that. So what, what Tristan is referring to is he was, if most people are going to be aware of who Alex Petikoff is from Beyond the Trail, he used to have a interview YouTube series live stream. And Tristan's been out two times, correct, two different shows. And you were able to play a lot, a lot, a lot of the audio on those shows. So after this one, head on over, I definitely recommend you head on over, listen to the two Tristan episodes on Alex for even more sounds.
Starting point is 00:41:19 What I have next is when I saw these two sounds, I was excited to hear the story because I have a story that is very close to those sounds myself. as listeners will know, but I'll play. I'll play them and then we'll get your story here. So go ahead. So those are recorded at Rock Camp behind, again, up on this hill behind us. I just have these recorders out, man. They're just pointed towards the woods behind us up on this hill.
Starting point is 00:41:57 And yeah, these zipper sounds. I've actually captured these in different spots as well. There's been a couple other spots I've been to that I've captured these zipper kind of sounds. and so I Is it a Sasquatch? I don't know but I've heard other people talk about
Starting point is 00:42:14 these kind of sounds before as well So how far away is your recorder from camp approximately See up on this I mean Wait a minute We're talking yards It's not like feet
Starting point is 00:42:26 We're talking yards up up on the scale I'm not the best with distance But I'm telling you it's not that close Like you I walk up pretty far in there I pointed it in the woods and I just let it run and then you get these things at 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock in the morning, 3 o'clock in the morning going on their own. And like I said, I've heard those zippers sounds, I've recorded those zippers sounds in other areas as well.
Starting point is 00:42:49 So I think there's something going on with that, you know? Obviously you're not. Are you leaving unzipping your tent during those nights? No, but these aren't near the, those aren't, these aren't near their tents. So they wouldn't even capture those kind of sounds. Yeah, okay. So here's the weird thing. So I'm just going to give you this summary real quick, Tristan.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Sure. So when I went on Outwood Tate in the Iowa episode of that documentary series, we had my recorder about, I mean, it was far outside the campsite. It was not near the tent. And I didn't leave my tent at all that night. And at around 345, I get a sound recording of what sounds like a tent zipper. It sounded just like that. And I've been, I mean, I've heard similar stories, but like nothing as close as the story you just told me of that you're capturing these zipper sounds, not even close to a tent outside of the camp.
Starting point is 00:43:56 That's wild, man. Yeah, man. It makes me wonder. These are far from my tent. So I figured it's just a subpoena. kind of way of conversing with each other and some kind of communication that they do if it's them. And like I said, I've heard this in other areas too. I've captured it.
Starting point is 00:44:12 I've captured that same exact sound in other areas. So it makes me think it could be Sasquatch. But again, you can't see what's making it. So it makes you wonder. But yeah, I'm glad you brought that up because I didn't know about that. That's interesting. I've heard very many people tell me about that. I've heard the same thing because I haven't really heard that before.
Starting point is 00:44:33 from other people. It messed with me for quite a while, Tristan, until I heard in a few other interviews I did with random people, how they've experienced a Sasquatch unzipping a food container at their camp and also a Sasquatch unzipping a tent that a female was in out in the Pacific Northwest somewhere. But yours is different because it's obvious that it's making the sound because it's not close to camp, which kind of makes me interpret my, my story in a way, too. But it's just very interesting to think about. So thank you for that.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Yeah, because, yeah, I've wondered the same thing because the more you listen to it, and the more that I've listened to it in other areas, I'm starting to whenever, maybe it's just not a mimic of some kind. Maybe it's some kind of communication that they do amongst themselves. Definitely. I also have a record, I don't think I put it in in the files. I apologize, but I also have a recording where, where, where, There's a thing that comes out to a recorder and makes a really loud sound with its mouth.
Starting point is 00:45:38 It sounds like it makes it with its mouth. And then you hear it start talking. You hear it start talking with something else. But it's just funny when you hear this weird loud like whoosh sound it makes it with its mouth. That is intense. So I don't know what that's all about. It's pretty loud too. I guess I should have put it in with the other files, but I just have so many that.
Starting point is 00:46:01 It's a lot. Like, yeah, it's a lot. Listeners, you just have to imagine the most Bigfoot files you've ever seen. It's a lot. Yeah. Well, and the thing is, I've been recording since 2015. I've been going out there. Yeah, that's a good point.
Starting point is 00:46:16 That's why I have so many files. And that's the thing, too. Like, I recommend people record all the time as much as possible. Because even when you're around, like you won't even know, even if you can't hear anything in person. That doesn't mean the audio recorder won't capture anything. That's true. I've been able to capture things on my audio recorders while I'm there in person, and I just never heard it.
Starting point is 00:46:40 But you hear it on the recorder, so I can't explain it. Let's play some more sounds here. Let's see what we got up next. Sure. Again, that was at Rock Camp behind on this hill again, behind our camp. Wow. And again, we didn't hear that in person, but on the recorder, you can hear it. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:47:11 As you can tell, that was a weird language, right? That's weird, man. And then you hear the knock afterward. I've heard that many times. You hear that many times where you hear like a vocal and then a wood knock or vice versa. Do you think it's a wood knock or maybe even a rock clack? It's hard to tell. It could be a rock clack, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:32 Let's listen again. It's a totally different language, man. Yeah. So I wouldn't be able to make that sound Or you'd come up with that sound Well my hooda It sounds like a native kind of a language Oh, that's weird
Starting point is 00:47:48 Wow And that's the other thing too I think a lot of people think That the Ron Moorhead sounds Are you're going to be Everywhere you record And that's not the Like every language you record
Starting point is 00:47:59 It's going to be like Ron Morheads And that's not the case here I think if we're dealing with the Sasquatch Maybe it's a different type of Sasquatch Or a different tribe of them That they're not all going to have The Samurai chatter and things like that could be just a different tribe with a different kind of language.
Starting point is 00:48:15 That's fascinating. Yeah. All right. Let's see what we got here. Okay. So that was recorded at California camp. And I was around midnight. And I was up with another Bigfoot researcher.
Starting point is 00:48:43 And we were just talking at the fire. And all of a sudden, and that thing just popped off behind us way in the woods, behind our camp, in the woods. It was pretty damn close. and again like that it was even louder that was even louder in person but that thing just popped off right behind us and then that was it no other no other vocals or anything like that i was for certain i was like he's gonna say that that was him but no that's a sound that you capture and it sounds really close to your camp too yeah it does it sounds like it's right in the woods there probably watching us but that came from where california camp is more like a slope it's it kind of slopes up into another hill, but you can actually camp up on this hill as well.
Starting point is 00:49:27 But where we were, where I was with this other Bigford researcher, we were at this campfire towards the entrance of the camp. And then this thing, wherever it was came from the hill up behind us, behind our camp, in the woods. And it was, like I said, it was very close and very loud. So whatever it was was right there. And it hasn't really, like even Alex mentioned on his show, its lung capacity is crazy. And it carries.
Starting point is 00:49:50 That sound carries, too. Does it almost sound like it has a female tone to it? Yes. Or maybe a juvenile. Maybe a female. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah. It's just, it's really weird.
Starting point is 00:50:03 I'm going to play it one more time. Oh, that would mess with me, man. There's no campers behind us there. So I don't think of it, I personally don't think it was another camper. There's a road next to California camp, but there was no, as far as I remember, there's no campers around us at that point. So and everybody else in our camp was asleep. It was just me and those other Bigfoot researcher at the campfire. Nothing just popped off.
Starting point is 00:50:40 And only did it once. No other vocals were heard that night. But that was it. And he immediately said, that's a big foot as soon as he heard it. He said, that's a big foot. Absolutely. Yeah. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:50:55 That really freaked me out that all hearing that person because you don't expect that. It just happens out of nowhere. Um, so yeah. I saved what I feel is my favorite for last. If I had heard this, I would probably, I don't know what I would. I would probably been like pack the bags. Cause if we stick around here, we're just going to get taken out. But I'll play a little, because it's a long clip, but I'll play a few minutes of it here.
Starting point is 00:51:30 and then I'll have you talk about it. Okay. That went on for 30 minutes straight. Yeah. It's hard to explain, but that's the only clip that I almost had a feeling of, I don't know if dread is too over. It just makes, it affects you when you hear it. And it's hard for me to explain.
Starting point is 00:52:44 And I can't imagine hearing that in real life. Dude, it was, like I said, the, the recorder doesn't do it. justice. It was incredibly loud. Have you ever heard the Snohomish recordings from the 70s before? There's some sounds and those recordings that are sound very similar to that.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Where are they with again? I forget who I forget who the woman's name was, but she was near a rock quarry and these were coming from a rock quarry in Snowhomish, Washington. I have type two diabetes, but I managed it well. It's a little bill with the big star.

And for adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease, Jardians can lower the risk of cardiovascular death too.

It's a safe, effective backup birth control option that helps prevent pregnancy before it starts by temporarily delaying ovulation.

Starting point is 00:55:29 Use as directed. Okay. I know I've heard the name, but I can't think of what they sound like. So I'm going to have to look that up later. Yeah, look that up later, but there's some what's called the Whoopal. And immediately, as soon as I heard this in person, I said, Wow, that sounds just like the Snohomish stuff. Now, I'm not saying that's a whole much recording.
Starting point is 00:55:51 I'm just saying whatever that is sounds similar to that, the whoop owl. And like I said, when you hear that sound, it is sound like something dread, something you had dreaded and run away from. Like a male. That's a male yelling, possibly a male, male Sasquatch. Do you think there were multiples in there or just one? Yeah, throughout the whole recording, you'll hear it. different types of voices, possible female voices, maybe juvenile voices. It's like a whole chorus of them.
Starting point is 00:56:22 And they were coming from different spots, too. It wasn't just one spot. It was like different spots around the whole area there. Again, this was at 2 o'clock in the morning. And it went on for 30 minutes straight. There was no breaks in between, basically. So if it was a human doing this, why the hell would they be doing that for 30 minutes and with that kind of lung capacity and with that many people.
Starting point is 00:56:45 Also many individuals as well. And I've never heard, I've never heard a vocal, I've never heard anything like that before. Besides that, Will Pall stuff in the beginning. I've never heard the rest of the core stuff before. So again, if it was humans, why are they doing that 2 o'clock in the morning for 30 minutes?
Starting point is 00:57:04 I mean, they didn't, they didn't even stop. If there were people called last name, they didn't stop for a response. It just keeps going. Which is, that would be weird, right? Yeah, there's no. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, the chorus stuff is weird because I've heard other recordings that are similar to that from the Pacific Northwest, like the chorus thing.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Yeah. But like yours is very unique as well. And man, so you woke up at 2 a.m. and you heard that live. Yeah. Well, that first call you, that first thing woke me up because it's so freaking loud. Wow. Yeah. When you hear that thing, man, like that roar kind of sound like that will.
Starting point is 00:57:45 That woke me up all my sleep. Oh, my goodness. And unfortunately, my mother, my mother couldn't hear that in person. I can't, that's why I have that, that's why I had that 60-minute version one that I played on Alex's show because I didn't want to have me and my mom talking while you hear that stuff going on. So that's why I had the edited version of just the sounds. I didn't want my voice and her voice in it. And there's been some other Bigfoot researchers. I'll just say Dave Ellis has gotten sounds from there as well.
Starting point is 00:58:11 That's kind of similar to that chorus sound. and I've actually recorded himself you're saying yeah he's recorded there before and he's gotten some sounds from there and in fact some some friends of mine were there last year got something kind of somewhere to that in September they recorded something kind of kind of similar to that a little bit ways down from california it was further away from california but california camp but they recorded something kind of similar to that wow but again like 30 minutes man like I, why would anybody do that for 30 minutes? They would blow out their vocal cords.
Starting point is 00:58:49 It was somebody singing something like that. Absolutely. What time of year did that happen in? That was in July, July 2020, July 17th. So it was after, obviously it was after full to July. So obviously people, I mean, that's the thing too. Like this, people, people do go to this lake and camp and stuff. I mean, there are people there around, but I don't know.
Starting point is 00:59:12 I don't know. know if the Sasquatch are comfortable with that or not. I mean, why, why would something so elusive be making that sounds like that? That's, that's what makes me wonder. That's so weird. Are they that comfortable to make those kind of sounds, you know, and, and for that loud, you know, being that loud too. So, but maybe the Sasquatchew are comfortable there. Yeah. I mean, we don't know. Have you had people analyze your, your sound, especially that clip there, like people like David Ellis? Yeah, Dave, Dave Ellis and Chris Spencer, Mananga Hill have all looked at it.
Starting point is 00:59:47 Oh, cool. You know, Dave Ellis and Chris Spencer say it's not, it's, wherever it is comes from a living thing. It's not, it's not, yeah, they think it's from a living subject. And I guess Monagahela agrees with that, but he made the, he made the comment. I wish the audio was closer to the subjects, but I do too, but, you know, I couldn't help that. Right. Yeah, good point. But they did say they think it comes from a natural, you know, source that it's not fabricated.
Starting point is 01:00:25 And for the record, I'm not hoaxing anything here. Like, I'm just putting my recorder out there capturing sound. So I'm not hoaxing anything. Yeah. I mean, you're you're camping out and having a recorder doing some wood knocks, doing some sounds yourselves at times. I'm just putting my recorders out there and letting them run, just like other researchers are doing. I'm doing nothing different, really. I got a few questions for you about recording audio, and hopefully, you know, people can, listeners can get some really solid advice from this.
Starting point is 01:01:03 So when it comes to, let's say you have someone, they're going out in the field, and it's their first. time where they're going to try to record audio, right, of a big foot. What are the absolute, what's the necessity, the must know advice about recording audio out in the wild? Well, for one thing is, I keep my audio recorders in plastic bags to keep from moisture and condensation. Obviously, it rains a lot here in the Pacific Northwest, so I try to keep them covered as much as I can.
Starting point is 01:01:38 And I put them on bungee cords and I strap them to trees and such. and just let them run. And sometimes I'll put moss on them to try to hide them and maybe put some different smells on it. Because here's the thing, like I mentioned earlier, I've had bears grab my recorders and chew them the bits or carry them off somewhere. I've lost records based on that.
Starting point is 01:01:58 So I actually try to hide them with moss and put some different scents on them. So hopefully a bear won't sniff them out. But I think a bear is going to, I think a bear is attracted to the batteries. I've heard that before that there's something. I've heard that as well. Yep. that there's something that they're attracted to.
Starting point is 01:02:14 So just be aware of that, you know, if you put in a battery operated, operated device out there, like, even game cameras. I think they've done that with game cameras as well. So going back to the recorders, I mean, I just, what I like to do is, as I mentioned with Rock Camp, I like to put them around, say that you're at a campsite. I like to go around the campsite, but not too close to it, but just far enough to maybe where something can just watch you. and I like to put, you know, kind of put auto recorders in different spots, say one part of the hill and another part of the hill over here, kind of surrounding the campsite, but not too close to it. Just in case you might get something coming in and watching you know, I like to do that. And as far as me, and, you know, there's also times where I just go to a research area and I'll just leave a recorder out like on a stump, high up on a stump or on a hill or something like that kind of high up. because I think the Sasquatch like to be in high places.
Starting point is 01:03:12 So they may come up and they may come up and down a hill, up and down a hill. So I try to keep them up high a little bit just in case it might walk by it. But, you know, I'm really doing nothing special with these recorders. I'm just putting them out on trees and such and making sure they're covered. And I try to look for areas, I try to look for spots where there's water like a lake or something. and then maybe there's a ridge you can walk up or something, like a high hill or high spot where I think the Sasquatch might come up and down that hill to the water or to get maybe some kind of food source like a deer or something.
Starting point is 01:03:49 That's how I think these guys are operating. So going back to camping, if you have a high spot behind you, the possibility of Sasquatch might be going up and down that hill, that mountain, to watch you. So that's another thing too. I like the idea of bringing them in as opposed to going out after them. I think you might have more better luck and capture an audio that way if you bring them in. What if your camp was on the high spot? It is just a random thought.
Starting point is 01:04:24 No, that's a good idea. Yeah, if you can find a spot where you can camp up high, maybe. But I think the Sasquatch like that kind of cover idea. You know, they kind of like the idea of being able to have some cover. Right. And maybe they kind of, they might strategically. they might like to be up high to wash you. I'll just say,
Starting point is 01:04:42 I'll just quickly talk about a quick thing that happened. I think I sent you the audio of this too, but in one of my research areas, maybe my mother put up a plot watcher in this little goalie. It's kind of like a, just like a hill you can climb up that overlooks like a little goalie. And I believe we,
Starting point is 01:04:59 I believe I've seen some foot traffic near where we put this pot watcher on this tree. And up above us, there's like a stump. This is 30 yards away. There's a stump. and one time I put a recorder up there running on top of the stump that's 30 yards away up above us and down below my mother and I were putting up this plot watcher and then when I went home and listened to the recorder,
Starting point is 01:05:24 I heard some possible speech and chatter on the recorder as if possible Sasquatch might have come in and watch us put up that plot watcher. And I have that, I put that in your files. I think it's called Bigfoot Closer to Recorder. But you hear some voices talking to each other. And it's not me or my mom. So I don't know what the heck it is. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:05:45 But that's the thing. I think in some instances, the Sasquatch might be watching people put up game cameras and things like that. And they might be up high too where you can't see them. So they might be in a strategic place watching you. But I'm not saying that's always the case, but I think in some cases maybe that's what's happening. And maybe that's why people aren't getting things on their game cameras because they're being watched. Oh, sure. as well.
Starting point is 01:06:10 Do you have a specific recorder model that you use? Yeah, let's see if I can get it out here. Well, kind of a mess, but I'll just show you one of the, I'll show you one of my new ones. This is a, yeah, this is,
Starting point is 01:06:40 this is kind of expensive, but it, this is the kind of recorder that I use. It's like a, it's a Sony PCM recorder, PCM, D10. And this is one of my new recorders I've got. And it has two microphones on top. Okay. And it's pretty hefty.
Starting point is 01:06:59 But it will record, this will record for eight hours. And what, and like I said, what I do is I just put it in a bag. And I just put these on, put these on a tree or something, have them sticking out towards forest away from camp. And I just have them record overnight. And yeah. Yeah, that's a, there you go. It's a whole night. Do you have to, when you're setting up a recorder for the first time to use for Bigfoot audio recording,
Starting point is 01:07:26 do you want to make sure that you do any specific settings a certain way? Well, that's the thing. I know there's some filter settings, noise filter settings, but I actually don't even use those. I just, I use a, I use Adobe Edition for my audio, audio editing. So I just use that if I need to bring down the noise on something. But no, honestly, I just make sure I set the parameters on this thing so it doesn't overpeak, obviously. You have to set them. You have to set the speakers to a setting where it doesn't go into the red all the time.
Starting point is 01:08:01 That's where it peaks. You get that real crappy audio. Other than that, man, I just let it run. And I let it run on normal play, not on long play because it's long play will give you really bad audio. Just let it run normally. And, yeah, in recorders like this, while we run for 80s. hours because of the batteries. It eats up batteries pretty quickly. There's small recorders that I use. So I'll actually record for at least a day or two, like 24 to 48 hours.
Starting point is 01:08:29 Oh, wow. So I use those as well. I don't always use these big guys. I like to use this big guy when I'm camping out, like a bumping, for example. But if I'm just going to a research area, I'll leave out these little small digital recorders and just leave them on trees for a few days or even a week or even a couple weeks. Even if they run out batteries, after a week or two, I'll just go back and grab them and listen to whatever
Starting point is 01:08:52 couple of nights that they're on there. I got to say, though, like, definitely, if people are going to be doing audio recording, try to get a parabolic dish because the voice quality is amazing on those things. And they'll pick up things even further away. I have type two diabetes,
Starting point is 01:09:10 but I manage it well. It's a little bill with the big story to tell. I take one's day, daily Jardians at each day start. And for adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease, Jardians can lower the risk of cardiovascular death too. Prescription Jardians, Empiglphlosin, 10 or 25 milligram tablets, are used to lower blood sugar along with diet and exercise and adults with type 2 diabetes. Jardians is not for use to lower blood sugar in people with type 1 diabetes and not for people with type 2 diabetes who have severe kidney disease. Serious side effects include increased ketones in blood or urine and infection between and around the anus and genitals,
Starting point is 01:09:46 Both may be fatal. Severe allergic reactions, dehydration, urinary tract or genital yeast infections, and men and women and low blood sugar. Stop taking and tell your doctor right away if you have nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, rash, swelling, trouble breathing or swallowing. Tell your doctor about lightheadedness, weakness, fever, pain, tenderness, redness, or swelling between the anus and genitals. You may have increased risk for lower limb loss.
Starting point is 01:10:06 Call your doctor right away if you have new pain or tenderness, sores, ulcers, or infection in your legs or feet.

Plan B made over-the-counter emergency contraception legal more than 20 years ago. It's a safe, effective backup birth control option that helps prevent pregnancy before it starts by temporarily delaying ovulation.
Starting point is 01:11:06 Plan B is the number one OBGYN recommended brand and the only one that you can find at all major retailers in all 50 U.S. states. There's no minimum age requirement and you don't need a number. ID to buy it. You can order it through DoorDash and other major delivery platforms too. That's freedom to be. Use as directed. And so I, and I, I've had pretty decent success with it too. So I recommend people try to get a satellite, a parabolic dish to use when audio recording. So you can use that with an audio record? Because I've, when I've seen that used, it's for live monitoring, right? But you can use it for recording, you're saying. Oh yeah, yeah. You can
Starting point is 01:11:45 You can strap a dish to a tree and you have it, you can have it plugged into one of these guys. Wow. And you just have a recording. Yep. That's what I've been doing. Oh, man. I've been doing that with this and, and, and with a task cam. That's my other big recorder is called a task cam.
Starting point is 01:12:02 Yeah, you can hook them up to these things and they'll record whatever's on the, you know, from the dish. That feed. How much longer? How much longer do you think you're able to go out roughly with a parabolic attached to it? well that's the thing way the cord on the parabolic at least the one that I have doesn't go very far so you have to you have to keep these close together what I usually do is I'll tie both these to a tree
Starting point is 01:12:30 like I'll have I'll have the parabolic dish facing out on one side of the tree and then I'll have this guy on the back of it and I'll bunch of cord both of them together and have them have this recording both of the same time I said that question not good at all What I meant to say was, so let's imagine with a regular recorder, you're able to capture like a mile out of sound. How much further out do you think you're able to capture if you've got a parabolic mic in the mix? Yeah, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:13:02 I'm totally misheard or misinterpreted. Maybe, well, I don't know if these will record a mile out, maybe, but maybe double that. I'm not the best with distance, man, but maybe double that. especially depending on especially the how big the dish is how big of a dish you're working and how much sound it can funnel
Starting point is 01:13:22 and pick up. Gotcha. Very interesting. That's the thing. I've used this before. This is like a $40 one. You can get on Amazon. Oh, nice. You can actually,
Starting point is 01:13:34 this is like for birds, but you can actually take this out and record with it as well. But the other dish that I have is bigger than this. But this is just a little small. example of something you can use. You just have to click in the trigger for it to record, but you can still hear.
Starting point is 01:13:50 It still captures pretty well. Pretty good audio. Are you of the mindset that you start recording right when you get to the campsite or when do you usually start your recording? Well, when I'm camping, I like to wait until it gets dark. and a lot of times I even I even try to put them out as it's just getting dark and I that's the thing I'll walk up the hill when it's dark out and I'll just put a recorder up there with a flashlight or a flashlight or a flashlight I'll just go up on the hill and put
Starting point is 01:14:27 a recorder out even when it's dark but I believe we get I get I believe we get most activity during the night and as we're at the campfire so I like to put them out right right as we're going to the campfire for the night and I just let them run all night And then I go back in the morning and pick them up. If I'm camping there, I just pick them up in the morning. Have you ever considered doing a long-term field recording unit? And I don't know if you'd be able to put it in the area out there. I've talked to Chris Spencer about units like that before.
Starting point is 01:15:03 Right. Yeah, with Chris's unit there. Yeah, that's something I'd love to try. I don't have one, but I would be interested in trying that out. But the other thing is going through audio is a heck of a process. It really is. You have to sit there and listen to hours and hours of audio. So that's why I kind of,
Starting point is 01:15:20 that's why it was some of my recordings I like to just go at night and then I can get through the night possibly. And obviously if you have a spectrogram or a graph, you can see these little spikes and hopefully you'll, you can just zero in on that and go, oh, that could be a possible sound. But there's, there's been sounds that the audio, that the recorder picks up, but when you look at them on a spectrograph, they're really low.
Starting point is 01:15:44 They don't always show up as like big spikes or anything. You actually have to really listen for it, like little blips and things like that because they're not always going to be real loud. So that's another thing I want to bring up is that if you're looking at a spectrograph, don't always look for the big waves because you've got to get stuff in between that or even down below where it gets kind of noise is too. Yet they'll really look for these little red, these little orange bumps and things like that in between.
Starting point is 01:16:10 Oh, interesting. There's some other sounds going on, man. It's not always like these big wavelengths. So speech, for example. Okay, okay. For like speech sounds, as opposed to like howls and stuff. You get little blips of things. Or like the zipper sound, that zipper sound that we were going through earlier,
Starting point is 01:16:29 those don't go like this. They're like little things on the spectrogram you can look for. Yeah, you could easily overlook that if you were just going by spectra. Yeah. Yeah. Or if you're not listening for it, you might overlook it because you're not looking for the big wave points on there. So. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:16:52 Oh, man. Tristan, this has been a very, very interesting discussion. And thank you for sharing your audio with M&ML listeners. That was cool. Oh, yeah, man. Totally. Yeah, you're welcome. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:07 Yeah. I recommend people just going out there and recording as much as they can if they're going to be researching. That's all I can. I mean, that's all I'm doing. I'm nobody special doing this. I'm just, my audio recordings out there and hopefully it captures something. But you don't always do that, you know.
Starting point is 01:17:23 You don't always get something on audio. Hopefully we'll be checking in with you in the future. Who knows? Yeah. Who knows what will come out of bumping like next? especially maybe even if you camp up and on the hill. We'll see if that happens or not. But, you know, that would be a wild adventure.
Starting point is 01:17:47 But or any last thoughts before we close out the night? Well, just in general, like even what I mentioned in Tate's documentary, when you go squatching, you're not always going to get, you're not always going to have something happen. It's not like what you see on the entertainment shows like Expedition Bigfoot or something, for example. Right. You're not always going to have something happen to you. So I just want people to understand that.
Starting point is 01:18:10 The reality is that not a lot happens when you're going out there. And I've had so many hours of recordings where I have nothing on them. So it's not every time I go out there, I get something. But hey, if you're in the right spot, yeah, sure, maybe you'll get something. But don't always expect to get audio or anything or audio or other kinds of evidence every time you go out squashing it. Because that's just the reality of it, in my opinion. And so I just want people to know that. The reality of big footing is that not a lot happens.
Starting point is 01:18:39 And sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes you get something, but it's not like what you see on TV. Exactly. And if you do go out and you don't get anything, stick with it. Try again. Try again. And eventually you'll get lucky. How can people, is there any ways that people can keep up to date with what you're
Starting point is 01:19:01 doing, Tristan, or contact you or anything like that? Or is it saying where you kind of keep under the radio? are. Yeah, the thing is, I don't post my stuff publicly. I mean, I'm happy to share them, like, on podcasts, like, with you or anybody on, honestly. But, yeah, I don't, I have a YouTube page, but that's not dedicated to Sasquatch. That's more other stuff. But if people want to reach me, they can go on Facebook.
Starting point is 01:19:26 I'm on Tristan Yolton. They can contact me there, message me there, and I can talk to, I'll be happy to talk to them about anything. And, but, yeah, I mean, if I get anything, no, I'll contact you or somebody else about it. I'd be happy to share them. I'm happy to share my stuff with anybody. I mean, there's nothing to hide. Cool. So, yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:47 So there you have. It's one of those interviews where if you see, if you see the name, Tristan Yolton pop up in a podcast, it's going to be something good. So make sure if it's not on Bigfoot Society, it's something else. Listen to that one too. But Tristan, thank you so much for coming on.
