You're out on your trip, right? Yeah, dude.

All right, what's up? California yesterday. I'm in my setup. I have a Bluetooth speaker here, just chilling, but I don't know if I can turn my camera around or not. Is that NorCal or where are you at? I am just south of San Francisco about an hour. Okay. I'm on PCH.

No, no, no. Yeah, PC. the one highway and that way is Santa Cruz up there is San Francisco so yeah just enjoying the view it's all you were alive and wanted to come on to share share with you that yeah dude that is so beautiful it's incredible are there any any sightings down there that you know of like any citing reports in that area not that I know of yeah personally but I think on the BF or others some reports from the Santa Cruz Big Basin area.

I know Finding Bigfoot did that one episode in Southern California in Santa Cruz, actually. What's the plan is it to go up to the film site? Yeah, we're gonna, I'm going to Bluff Creek tomorrow. Ron is going to be there on the 5th. And we're going to just kind of do a lot of different stuff. and we're going to go down on the film site and help Rowdy with some things. So that's pretty cool.

He's got a camera. We're going to do some like film recreation, I think. I was listening to Cliff and Bobo the other day, and it sounds like they've been doing a lot of work on the roads around that area, Bobo was saying. Yeah, so Terry, or Jonathan sent me a, a link Facebook post from Terry and she said that the roads

were smooth out there so it's like good road work I'm hoping the roads will be nice is the plan to get a few maybe few episodes under the belt out there yep

gonna try and shoot for about four or three episodes so I'll get maybe I'm gonna try to do four episodes if I can. And then I'm going to do like a cool little special

Sabbe episode kind of going over our favorite parts, our favorite moments of being in the field and stuff and kind of showing footage from those expeditions and all that. So it would be like a flashback episode, I guess. Good stuff. That'll be cool. I'm looking forward on doing that.

Awesome. Awesome. How long is it a trip to get up to that area from where you're at? From here, to get to, like, Bluff Creek, it would probably take seven, eight hours. It's not that it's far, it's just the roads are one lane in a lot of areas, and you have to drive out through the mountains, too. Yeah, absolutely. Was it hard getting out of the southeast, it all for you? Nope, not at all. There was a lot of trees that were down, man.

There was like trees on the side of the highway. Highway signs are missing. I think the welcome to Georgia sign when you come in into Georgia from Florida, I think that was gone. Wow. I didn't see that because I was going to try and take a picture of it, but it was missing. Crazy stuff, dude. Wow.

Well, thankfully, that wasn't too bad a trip for you. but yeah thanks for for hopping on dude and uh keep us in the loop with uh what happens next up there so good stuff we'll do i'm gonna try and do a youtube live at the cell site so everybody keep watching for that that's on the tate heronymous youtube channel right yep everybody can get it on my home page and tic talk it's my links right there awesome good stuff uh The channel also has a great documentary series about Bigfoot that Tate is constantly putting out. So definitely want to check that out, guys. Sasquatch search for Sabbe, which is good, good stuff.

But yeah, thanks for coming up, man. Yeah, thank you. Later, brother. Oh, here we go. Are you there? Hey, Harpazo, we did it. Oh, my gosh. This is incredible.

I'm glad you came up. So feel free to share what you've experienced over the years, man. All right. It's going to take a little bit because it started a while back ago. When I was a kid, I always thought Bigfoot did exist, but I thought I was out in California. I live in Michigan, and one evening we were camping. We were the only ones in the campground, and it was a rustic campground. We were howl growled at so loud. I've told you, this before, it shook my chest. And I was naive of Bigfoot in Michigan.

And later that the next day, I mean, I didn't sleep the whole night, of course. And the kid screamed and it was freaky. And the next day I went out and I found 16 inch and 18 inch footprints. And it had to be something very heavy to to do that. I don't know if you know, I'm sure you do, like out in the pines, pine trees and the ground, how the ground texture is with the pines that fall. It's very difficult.

Even put a footmark in there. And I'm glad you're catching on that. Yeah, and they did. But I'm going to, I'll try not to take so long, okay? Because it's quite lengthy. I take the time you need, you know. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Well, thank you very much.

I've been wanting to get a hold of you. And 16 to 18 inch, how tall would that be? With my experience, it would be anywhere from 8 foot to 10 foot. And then as time went by, I live in lower. Michigan and I have a hard time sleeping sometimes so what I would do I'll go outside and go in the woods and that's their time of night because they really don't like you out there and oh before I tell you that I found a female I know it's a female because I've seen the side of her I used to find on the cornfields I would find many

row, many ears of corn in piles all the way down the, down the fence row. And I'm like, what in the world? I mean, maybe some guy is hunting, you know, but why would they put out hundreds of ears of corn down a fence row and piles? It just didn't make sense. Plus, it was no hunting because they had a sugar bush there where they made, maple syrup. So they didn't want anybody, you know, crossing over on their land. But one night evening was about three o'clock in the morning. I had my lab with me and I shined down and I seen a feet that same female. She was sitting with her back to the tree. She was grayish brown and she was eating corn. And I went, whoop, just to see what she would do. And she, She like cleared her throat from the corn being in her mouth and she gave me a gentle, gentle whoop back. And I respect them. I'm Potawatomi Indian.

My great grandma was full-blooded Potawatomi. I believe in respecting God's creatures. And I don't think they're an animal. I think they're more human than they are animal. And then we bought a house. I got so much I can tell you. But I'm not going to tell you. It's just so long.

But we bought another house 10 miles south of that. And that's where things really got crazy. There was a teenager. I'm pretty sure it was a teenager. He was very curious of me. And he was throwing waltzed at me one night. and they would bounce up and right up to my feet. And I could see the outline of him because of the moon.

And after the fifth one, I would throw it back and I didn't hear it hit the ground. And the next thing I know that I think the same walnut can flying back at me. And he hit me with it. But he was a character. He was like Loki. But I call him ruckus because he was so noisy. back in the woods. And I imagine people are saying like,

no, that didn't happen. But I swear to God it happened because I had to deal with it for like eight years. But oh my gosh. One night driving home twice. One time at 4 a.m., I was coming up by I-94, between Jackson and Albion and I saw that was the first sighting that I had of a

Sasquatch it had the eyes were just bright red just glowing and I kind of freaked out a little bit because I mean I'm stopped and I'm right there and he's right there at the intersection at 4 a.m. and he was massive he was quartered down and it's like their fur does not absorb light. It's very odd. It's like all you can see is a big black mass without any reflection, but you can see the eye is just glowing red and I sat there for probably 15 seconds and I decided to get out and I see somebody says,

Ruckus still with you. Ruckus was with, I was gifting Ruckus for two years. Another family came in and I think Ruckus left. He did come back at the end of the, in the fall because they migrate over here. I think they go south like maybe Salt Forks, Ohio, where there's caves and caverns. caves and caverns because there's not a lot of cover where we live right here. And, you know, they have the cornfields during the fall. But no, Ruckus, I don't think Ruckus is here.

He might come back because he grew up here. And I had like six encounters with him. Wow. Yeah, that's. and it's just quite a big story my wife oh here's something for you uh my wife and i were digging by our on our porch we live out in the country i mean there's nobody around and my porch is about six inches high and we both heard a growl that sounded like a freaking bear. And my wife goes, what's that?

And I'm like, I don't know, you know. And then that happened to us several times later. I don't know if they can throw their voice, Jeremiah. I don't know if they can do that or not. But I don't know if it's, they have abilities. I don't know. I really don't. I agree.

I'm not claiming to know everything. You know. Big for society will be right back after these messages. It always happens right before the whistle. There's a little voice that says, what if I mess up? What if I'm not ready? I see a whole highlight reel of everything I don't want to happen.

Missed shots, turnovers, letting my team down. And for a second, there's doubt. But then, I really don't want to happen. realize I've done enough to be where I'm at. The early mornings, the extra reps, the days I wanted to quit and didn't. So I smile. Self-doubt is natural, but my smile is a reminder that I'm resilient.

as directed. Folks knew the Colonel approved of his new honey-chilly crisp and jalapena ranch sauces the moment he tasted them and said, that's right. No notes. Just absolute silence. Turns out some flavors don't need explaining. They just need dipping. It's saucy season at KFC.

With new honey, chili crisp and jalapeno ranch, get dipping with a boneless bucket today. Prices in participation vary. This is kind of surreal that I'm talking to you. I'm a little old-fashioned. It's crazy what you can do with technology, right? It's wild, yeah. Can I ask you a question? Yes.

Can you think of a time where, like, what do you think the closest or the most detailed encounter that you were able to have was? the best vision of one that i had i was i had a i was driving home from work this was the second account the first one i just seen a huge black mask the second one i saw was next to the road he was reddish brown and i swear i went up there very slowly and i could see him he's standing next to the tree and he was enormous and i i probably be seen him for about 20 seconds and there was nobody else on the road and he just stood there he was like hiding his head from my car lights and i had my brights right on him and uh that i the next day i

went down there after he left i i took off because i didn't want to bother him anymore and he was 10 foot 8 inches tall because his head was about 6 inches below a branch that's how how I measured it. Have there been multiple sightings in your area besides the ones that you've had that you know? In Dansville, Michigan, back in the 70s, there was a whole bunch of sightings. It was quite a creepy thing, actually, I guess, for a lot of families. Stock was being stolen, chickens being stolen. It's quite woodsy over there and they have a game reserve for, it's quite large,

and I think they hang out in there maybe. It sounds like you definitely had had at least one hanging out on your property for an extended period of time. Right. The two properties I had, we had two families. I found a footprint once that was embedded in a rotten log. I mean, I couldn't have made the imprint, but it made the imprint. And the next day I was going to go out and cut it out with a chainsaw. And it literally smashed the imprint that was left on the wood.

That's understandable. They're intelligent. Oh, my gosh. they're not stupid animals. And I mean, I could go on and on. I just, I wasn't really prepared to get on because I didn't think I could get on. Well, I mean, and this doesn't have to be the only time that we talk either. You know, if we just want to talk for a little bit today, that's fine.

And we can always have another conversation, another time. But did, was there ever a time where they got too close to your happy? or things got intense or did you feel like you were on good terms with them the whole time? I was on very good terms, but ruckus was very curious, extremely curious. And one night, it was about three in the morning. If I don't sleep very good, I'll go outside and I'll smoke a cigar. And I was sitting there, and it was about three, and it was pitch. black, no moon, no nothing.

I went to flick my cigar, and my cigar literally only went about four feet from me, and it, like, exploded with sparks. And that he was right there, because I heard him go like that when I flicked the cigar and it hit him. And I could not see him, but I know he was there because the, you know, the sparks and he made that noise. That was too close for comfort for me.

I found fingerprints on my, we have our house is white, and it's like, it was like dirty thumbprints way up high. It was like tar, a dirty with blood mixture in it, huge thumbprint. I see somebody said cloaking. I have never had any experience with cloaking. But I tell you what, they do some weird stuff. And I really don't know what to.

I had no answers. I can tell you how to maybe keep them away for your house. Any time do you feel like you, did you try to get any, like put a recorder out there, an audio recorder or any video recorders? Or was it just like we need to figure out how to live with these guys? That's where I was coming from. I was like I wanted to live with them. They're not, this is not my land to them. This is their land.

One night, Ruckus was out screaming and yelling, and this was about two or three in the morning. And I could hear him out there. And then I could hear where I think was his dad yelled at him from another area. And I'm like, you know, I had 23 trees in my yard at one point. because they kept pushing the trees in my yard. They didn't like me shining looking for them or for deer. So that night when I heard ruckus out there,

I went out in the woods and I took my flashlight with me. I kept it off and I shined it and I hit him upside the head with my beam of light and then I turned it off. I said, if you stop pushing trees in my yard, I will stop shining the flashlight. And I swear he could, quit doing that i have not had one tree in my yard since but it's the respect aspect they really

want you to respect them and they will not respect you at all if you show any hostility you know that's why i didn't want to try to get a picture i'm not tech savvy as you can probably tell i had no idea how to even do that but uh i just want to respect them, you know, and I can tell you more yet, and I feel like I'm taking up everybody's time. Oh, you're good. I'm just glad you were able to come up on stage, and I know we've been talking back and forth for a few years, it feels like, but yeah, let's, you know, we can continue this conversation another time, but thanks for coming up and for sharing a bit about what you've experienced. Well, I want to thank you so much, and you're very patient with me, and the people you

have are just absolutely awesome. I've watched you before and I didn't say anything sometimes, but your people are awesome. And I want to thank you. Thank you. I just try to give a spot for people to share what they've experienced. So I appreciate that. Yeah, but yeah, thank you for coming up and we will chat at a later time. Okay, I'll try to be more organized next time. Oh, you're good. All right. Thank you. Bye. Bye. Awesome. That was great to talk to Hart Pazzo. I've been wanting to talk to him for a few years at least. So that was... Hi, Chris. Hey, how are you?

What do we got going down there in Georgia that you experienced? So I've had two experiences two. One, I've seen him in one. I work in government. So I guess I can go ahead and say I work in law enforcement. So I've had a call. due to some strange stuff that's happened that I've had to go to and we've heard things that were like we're not going into the to go look for this guy in the woods so a little different story but I can tell you about both okay the one I've seen him I was working on a quail plantation which means we we bring hunters in we and we take them out to hunt quail with bird you know bird dogs things as such and we're

sitting there getting ready in the middle of i don't know 2 000 3 000 acres and we're in an open field but there's woods all around us except for one spot that's we have planted um and it's pretty deep because we just harrow did it so i'm guessing about two a foot and a half deep you know to run across it's crazy um and it was probably 50 feet 50 50 yards maybe from us and we're sitting there ready to get right you know talking about our plans to figure out where we're going to take the guys things of that nature you know who's going to bring the dogs out and i look but you know in front of me past the guys and i'm watching something run on two feet across this field and it only takes him like or that thing three or four five seconds to get to the other side I'm like

what the hell it you know what is that and the guy's turn and we're all standing there looking at this thing run across this field and I'm like I don't I don't know what I'm looking at because there's nobody in Gillis who can do this I mean I we just put the you know just harrowed it up I've been over there you know you get stuck trying to walk through it and this guy's or thing is running across it in mock speed and the craziest part about this whole story is the three guys I'm with that I'm looking past that turn around and look at this thing turn back to me and start getting back on topic with the bird dogs and and the quail I'm like y'all listen no we're stopping right here y'all just watch this thing

go run across this field are we not going to talk about this and they're like uh it's normal and I'm like what what is defined normal to me can no we're not going I mean it was just the amazement to me was that these guys were like it was no big deal I'm like that's not cool um so yeah and we we spoke about it later and they're like no it's just something we see down here and I'm like um I don't I don't understand the words that was coming out of his mouth at that time because it still to me amazes me and this was a couple years ago that this one happened this experience happened and i mean i i swear to god i wish there was cameras out where i was but in 2 000 acres you're not going to get that but but that just

the amazement of seeing something run across this thing knowing that it could never have been because of me being there personally and checking the environment and situations that nobody could run across this this harrowed up field in the short amount of time that this thing upright in a brown, you know, because there was no features. There was, it was just dark, you know, pretty much looked like a bear, but running, but like a human upright across this field. And I'm like, to me, I just don't understand, you know, there's not many words that could

really put it together of how we seen this, you know, and them going, oh, you know, it is what it is and I'm like can we not at least talk about it wow that's that's incredible are you able to share what part of Georgia at all that's middle middle Georgia middle Southern Georgia okay um closer interesting you know just southeastern area okay okay you said there there was two different instances yeah the other one we got a specific call out to an area close to the you know it wasn't close to the same spot but in in the same area we had a call that somebody was breaking into or there was you know somebody outside making a lot of harassing noises is the call that came in on dispatch

and that they were scared for their safety things of that nature so we get especially get dispatched out to the area and the thing is where these people are is you know it's it's it's very rural and out in the middle of nowhere and their their trailer is backed up to a hundred or so acres of wooded you know pines southern forest pines so there's nobody that is living out there and really in the area that you're not going to get people from the city just homeless things like that so we get a special there and we get there it's kind of eerie because there's

not many lights out there as far as roads and we pull up there's no lights on and we had we're on a dirt road and we usually roll our windows down when we get close you know we we might have our lights on but in this call we didn't big for society will be right back after these messages it always happens right before the whistle there's a little voice that says what if i mess up what if i'm not ready i see a whole highlight reel of everything i don't want to happen missed shots turnovers letting my team down and for a second there's doubt but then i realize i've done enough to be where i I'm at. The early mornings, the extra reps, the days I wanted to quit and didn't. So, I smile.

But when we pull up, we get out, we talk to the individual, the homeowner.

And as we, you know, we look around. We don't see anything. We don't see. And me, as a tracker, I look on the ground, too. I don't see anything. You know, and we go to get off the call and get back 10-8, or, you know, back on call. and we hear the weirdest noise and it sounds like somebody screaming but in a in a way out you know it's not an animal there's there's no way that this is an animal i mean it sounds like an animal it's not it's not an animal

and it's a big animal and we're like you know we're we're definitely we would love to go to the woods to find whatever made the noise for you and we're pretty sure that both are are together or when I say that I mean that the call that we're dispatched on and the noise that we're hearing has to be you know you know together that it might correlate off the other one but yeah we're like you know what no no if you need us call us we'll come back out if somebody is breaking into your your house but stay in your house for tonight and we you know to me like personally me as a as a person and the way I am I'll I'd love to come back out there with dogs and track but you know tonight with me being at work doing what I do for a living I'm like no and

there's no way I'm going to go out in these woods to find whatever made that noise that we just heard just stay in your house because they're very like I said it again very rural so it was those are my two experiences that I've had with this type of situation and and I say they're together because the noise that came at that we heard that night had to in knowing after seeing what I've seen run across that field I you know I didn't know what big foot what was much less looked into it until after I try to pick out what this thing was I've seen and it just wow going to work that night and having that experience I was like that kind of sounds like what I've heard when I was researching what I've seen, you know, doing the birds and the quail and all. So I felt like those two things were together. But those were my two experiences. Well, first I thank you for sharing.

It's very extremely rare that someone actively in law enforcement ever shares what they've experienced. It's usually people that are retired. So this is pretty rare in the five years that I've been talking to people. Well, I mean, yeah, we cleared the clock. I was about say, we cleared the call. So it's not something that's an ongoing investigation or anything of that such. And I'm a very open and honest person. That's kind of the reason I'm in law enforcement is to kind of be one of those voices.

But yeah, it was definitely different. But go ahead. I'm sorry. You're good. Do you in the area? of where you're at there is southern Georgia it sounds like are there a lot of Bigfoot related calls or occurrences you think so it's down here is one of those things that if you know an individual and for some reason y'all go down on that

rabbit hole and start talking you might hear about it but that's about it that's where you go with that it's not something we get calls on it and truthfully you know when we're going to the call that we were going to it was it was one of those things that we're looking for an individual to maybe be causing a disturbance in the area but to hear what i heard we heard i say i we heard you know it was it it sends chills down your body because that is no human it's not no it's not a cat it's not a wildcat you know what we call cougars down here but and I've heard those two and they're kind of you kind of sends chills too but this this was a totally different noise but on the same aspect

if that makes any sense yep so yeah whatever that was I wasn't going after it you know not in the middle of night and not where we's at and and from the feeling or the vibe that this this thing. I mean, we deal with a lot in this field, but this, I'm not even, I mean, it felt different. It just, it had a different feeling. And we're like, just stay in your house if you need it, it's called. But we're, we're not going to find out what that was in your yard because it's big and we don't know what that is. And we didn't, in all honestly, you know, honesty,

it's, because I'm a very open person and people that I work with know it, but They don't talk about it. It's just, it's just something like, what are we going to talk about? You know, we all heard it. What do you want to talk about about it? You know, they don't go into what might it been, what was it? Things like that, which I do. I question everything.

So it's very unique down here in the South, the way people look at things and and how open they are to talk about because of, you know, criticism. I don't care. I really don't care. You can leave me or whatever. But it was just one of those things that I mean, I come across you. I'm on my day off. And I'm like, you know what? Yeah, I've heard those things. Yeah, that's, that's experiences up ahead. Absolutely. Man, thank you. Thank you so much for sharing. Can I ask you one more question? Sure. Have you ever heard of any other interactions with Bigfoot and law enforcement in other parts of Georgia? So nothing that has been detailed. I've had another officer talk about it, but not into any detail that I mean, because it's not my story.

Exactly. If that makes sense. Yep. Yep. That's no problem at all. I just wanted to kind of throw it out there, see if it turned into anything. But I'm so thankful for you coming up. My email is Bigfoot Society at gmail.com. You can feel free to pass that on if you ever run across anyone or if you ever need to reach out at a future time. Sure. I'll give you a follow too. All right. Thanks so much for coming up. Yeah. How's it going? Pretty good. How you doing? Hey, doing well. Do you mind if I potentially use this audio for my podcast?

Oh, of course, of course. That's why I hopped on here to kind of give you a hand and help give you some content. All right, go ahead. So my name is Eric. I live in Washington State. And I've been having Sasquatch Encounters since June 16th, 2021. I started out when I was a child, my dad and his friend and some family members, we used to go squatching up in the Olympics and up in the Cascades as early as four or five years old. I had my first experience when I was five. My second experience when I was seven.

And then I didn't have any more experiences until 2021. My first experience, it was snowing out. And it was the first time that I was out in the backwoods, up in the bald hills in Washington State with my brother. And he... He gave me a shotgun, didn't tell me that I needed to hold the butt of the gun up against my shoulder. And so when I used it, it put me on my tail end, right? And I remember crying because it hurt.

And then in a really serious voice that, like, he's never used before, he basically told me to be quiet. And then he pointed out a set of footsteps in the snow that led off and further into the woods. he said we need to go and so we went back to the trailer that my friend lived in and I was I was staying there staying the night at my friend's house again when I was seven years old on the same property there was this little pond about 300 yards away from the property that me and my buddy we used to go catch frogs at right and the trailer I was staying at was a gentleman named Ted he was a good friend of my father And he had really bad PTSD from Vietnam.

And so when you woke up in the morning time, even as a little kid, I knew that, you know, you don't wake Ted up because there's a chance he could have a flashback. And then things just went south from there. So I woke up about 7 a.m. and I, the kerosene that heated the trailer was out, so it was kind of cold. and I think that's why I woke up. And I went outside and using my imagination, I was pretending that I was Zelda with a garbage can lid and a broomstick walking around like whackin trees and stuff, pretending that I was sword fighting.

And then down at the pond, I looked down there, and I saw something bipedal that walked out of the woods, squatted down, got a drink from the pond, stood back up and walked back into the woods. And so these happened when I was a child, and as I got older and older and older, it all seemed like it was a dream, right? Like you're remembering something that far back. And any time the subject, the Sasquatch got brought up, I would simply, you know, share my experiences.

Well, I got a phone call in 2020 from my former brother-in-law that used to be married to my sister. and he's an outdoors enthusiast. He spends all this life up in the mountains, typically off of Chinook Pass. He's just, and I've always gone hunting with them and fishing with them. You know, he's a really close friend of mine, but after the really bad divorce, we had lost contact with each other because it was messy,

and I lost contact of my two nieces and my nephew that he was taken care of. Well, he called me up, and he had a story for me. he was like, hey, you know who this is? And I was like, who is this? I didn't even recognize his voice. It had been, I don't know, many, many years since we had even spoke, right? And I think the last time we spoke, I was like 18. I'm 44 years old now.

So to put that in the kind of context. So he told me, he said, remember what you used to always ask me when we were hunting? And I was like, what's that? He's like, what I would do if I saw a Sasquatch? And he's all, remember, I always told you, I'd shoot it in the face. And I was like, yeah, yeah, okay, right? And then he told me a story about him having a three-night encounter with his family up off

Chinook Pass here in Washington. And how the story goes is he said that him and his wife and one of their children, they were up at this place that we've labeled Opel Road. That's not the actual name of the road. We just walk. I'm a rock hound also. one of my hobbies. So we walk down that road and we find green Boulder Opels, right? And so we're up there. It's about a 5,500 foot elevation. And it's approximately nine miles away from the closest

campsite back on some hunting roads slash forestry roads. And we're up there. And but beef, though, I messed up. Sorry, I've got to go back to his story. So yeah, there's been so many things. things I could probably sit here for a week and not be able to share all of them. So anyways, during the phone call I had with him, he said that he was walking with his wife and approximately 30 feet away from him, he saw a Sasquatch that was squatted down in between two trees. And he said that the first thing he said was, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not, I'm not going to hurt you. And then as he said that, the Sasquatch stood up. And when it stood up, it scared his wife and she pulled her body like into his body so hard and fast that she ripped his shirt.

And then he said, why I ain't the, how could I say this on TikTok without with being respectful? He said some choice words and said, you ain't never met anybody like me. And so he used his pew-pue and put his laser on it. and he he uses pew-pue three times and on the third time he saw the spray of blood and he knew that he hit it and so he said that he saw it tumble down the hill it broke a huge branch off the tree that I grabbed a hold of after he hit it and mind you he was aiming at its face so as it fell down the hill him and his wife decided that the next day they were going to go up there And he was like, I found, you know, Sasquatch.

I'm going to cut off its hand or its foot. And this is, this is him. Mind you, this is not my personality. My story goes a complete different direction. So, you know, he said that the second night that he went up there, it was gone. But there was a structure that was built off the side of the road. It looked like a teepee structure. It had a bark on the bottom of it with three stones put on.

on it right and so it confused him and he was like well who made this is like it means just off the side of the road right but like nobody comes up here like who would take the time to make something like this and so he was he was up there and then um he heard uh some noise and then he heard a tree get pushed over right and the sound of the tree was you know loud and his wife was in their vehicle and he heard something. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. It always happens right before the whistle. There's a little voice that says, what if I mess up? What if I'm not ready? I see a whole highlight reel of everything I don't want to happen. Missed shots, turnovers, letting my team down. And for a second, there's doubt.

But then, I realize I've done enough to be where I'm at. The early mornings, the extra reps, the days I wanted to quit and didn't. So, I smile. Self-doubt is natural, but my smile is a reminder that I'm resilient. To put more smiles out into the world, Colgate has supported female athletes for over 50 years with the Colgate Women's Games.

Have you ever taken a stick and like swung it in the air really fast and it makes that whoosh sound? So he heard something that cross between that sound and what it sounds like if you're wearing a windbreaker, kind of the swish, swish, swish. And he heard something run up behind him. And then it went dead quiet. And it scared him. And so he brought his son to the vehicle, put his son in the vehicle, and then told his wife, I'm going to start the vehicle up and drive off. And so instantly, he started the vehicle and they drove off. Well, after all this, he gave me a phone call because he thought that maybe I would be interested because I always, you know, I had my experiences when I was five and I was seven.

Some time goes past and I end up getting another phone call from him. It was probably like eight months later or so, maybe a little bit longer. And he was like, hey, do you want to come over to your niece's graduation? And so I went over there and it was like, it's like we didn't skip a beat with our friendship, like instant best friends again, sharing stories, getting to know my now much older nieces and my nephew. We went to the graduation and for her celebrating her graduating, like I said before, like the whole, not just my bro Jeff, but like his whole family, they're outdoorsy people. So what she wanted to do was go rock hounding up off of Chinook Pass for eggets. And that's what we decided to do. So after the graduation, we had some food and then we went up there.

And we had a great time, found a bunch of eggheads, found some wolf prints, found some other prints, you know, it was great. And then he was like, okay, well, my cousin, she's at a camp up here with a bunch of friends. You want to go hang out there for a little bit? I was like, yeah. So we went there and we were there for like an hour. around a bonfire and everybody's just chit-chatting and we're getting ready to leave and he goes do you want to go to where I had my experience with the Sasquatch? I go well yeah of course right you know like I got all super excited and so we drove up there it took us a little bit to get up there and then

the first thing he said is when we were getting close he said I'm going to stop off of the structure first I want to show you what what was built and so uh we pull over the side of the road we get out, we go look at the structure, and I'm thinking in my head like, yeah, right, you built this. You know, like, are you and your kids made this or something like that? Like, I still had a lot of disbelief in my mind and my heart because what he had told me was absolutely incredible. I hadn't heard a story about Sasquatch like that ever in my entire life, right? And so we were there for maybe 10 minutes. I took like a short video of it and took a picture of it.

And then he explained to me, so another quarter mile, half mile up the road, he marked the place that they had the encounter with a large stone on a clear cut stump just off the side of the road to make sure that he had a marker to know where everything happened at. And so we drove up there. I saw the marker. And as we passed the marker, he's like, well, we're going to turn around. It's not too much further up the road. There's a cul-de-sac, gravel cul-de-sac. So we turned around and on the way back down, I'm shining like this. this five or six thousand luminous flashlight out of his window. And right next to where the rock was on the stump,

I got eyeshine. And it was two sets of eyes. And they're like the eye shine. And now I'm an outdoorsy person too. And I've seen a lot of animals at nighttime. And it didn't really match anything that I could see before. But with the bright flashlight on it, all I could see was the eyes. And the eyes, the best way I can describe is they almost look like stars, and they're really big, right?

And so we're watching the eyes for about 15 minutes, and the eyes, they were staring at us, and every once in a while they blink, but when they blink, it was like kind of slow. It wasn't like a fast blink, like, you know, when, you know, us as humans, whenever we blink is really fast, it was like kind of slow. And then the eyes, they started turning and looking at each other, and then they turned back, they would look at us and they would turn and look at each other. And then they started looking away from each other like in the opposite directions. So now, mind you, this happened with me, Jeff.

There's six of us up there that have this experience. And so me and standing there were watching the eyes shine and Jeff, they all move up up the road. And Jeff pulls out, he has like these night vision binoculars. And so he's scanning the area. And a couple more minutes go by. And then what happened next completely changed my life forever. So I'm looking at this eye shine. And I feel this overwhelming feeling of curiosity.

Almost like when you're a child and you're playing and you're using your imagination and you're learning about things like organically, that's the only way I could describe just as overwhelming feeling of curiosity and the two Sasquatch they turned to the side but when they turned to the side all the sudden I could see their whole bodies from their head all the way down to like mid-calf they were kind of behind some bushes and the weird part was like this ice the eye shine from the flashlight you still could see it when they turned to the side like the periphery view of their faces and when it when they took off they took off at an incredible rate that was so fast the only way that I could explain it would be like highways like highway speeds they were just

incredibly fast it made me go whoa did you guys see that and then uh Lucas and I we started going kind of down the road in the direction where the I shine went because I wanted to see more right But then I had like this feeling like in my stomach that there was danger. I remember that. And there was these two giant boulders just off the side of the road that were about the size of like a SUV. And something told me don't go over there because there's danger. So we turned around and we walked back up to where they were. And Jeff at that time had picked up some eye shine with a shadowy figure through his night vision binoculars.

So we were watching that. And how he picked it up basically was he turned his head to the right and then back to the left and then it was just there. Right. So it just, it didn't just like appear out of thin air, but it moved in so quickly that like it was all of suddenly it was there, right? At least that's my impression of it. And then I pick up the eye shine of one that was peeking out behind a tree. But how fast it was moving, I can't replicate with my own head. I can't like duck or dodge my head as fast as this thing was like peeking out from behind the tree.

And so we're watching the one mainly through the night vision that's like 100 feet maybe, somewhere between 100 and 150 feet, you know, it was kind of hard to tell being how how dark it was away from us. And as we're watching it, Jeff was like, hey, I'm going to, I'm going to use. my pew-pue a couple times not at them but I want to see how they respond right so he takes out his pew-poo and he he uses it and after he uses it the one that was in the night vision it basically disappeared right because obviously we're looking all around us right and I don't know if it was like if he moved his night vision and came back to it he ended up taking about a 12 or 13 second

recording of it and that's how I ended up getting my photographs from that recording that he could take with his night vision but the the crazy thing was is after he used the pew-poo the other two that ran off they came running back okay and so we're sitting there and again now I all I can see is the eye shine again I couldn't see their bodies and how the rest of the event happened was the one that was peeking, it stopped peaking, and then we watched the eye shine until it filtered itself through trees and brushes until we could only pick up the occasional one eye of the eye shine, and then it was gone. But the entire event lasted approximately an hour and 15 minutes, and there was six of us there. What happened after that is absolutely crazy. So I

come I come from a background of believing that Sasquatch were like an ape, were like a bipedal animal that was in the woods. That was what was taught to me when I was a boy. That is how I was raised to believe what they were. But since that event, I ended up staying. We stayed up to like 8 a.m. just talking about it. I couldn't go to sleep. And then the next day I had to come back.

It was the Sunday. I had to come back home for work because I'm a teacher. So I had to come back home, right? So I come back home and in the next month and a half, I end up having eight other experiences, all of them with other people. And I started thinking that there was like something wrong with me. Because like when you hear about stories with Sasquatch, it's usually just like I found a footprint or I saw one briefly and then it was gone or it scared the heck out of me

or you know you go on down the list of what typically you'll hear about these stories except for since that day it hasn't stopped for me it has not stopped from me as a matter of fact I'm I'm grieving the loss of my mom I just lost her from cancer and uh but like the week that like literally the night before she got diagnosed I was up in my main research location and was having experiences up there with the it was the day before the full moon but it still was super bright illuminating the woods you know so I'm I'm try to get out when I can but I did have a research group that was based off family members and that research group fell apart due to our experiences with Sasquatch.

So there's actually some really incredible events that took place that made my brother stop wanting to go up to the research location. And the list kind of goes on and on and on and on. I have experiences at 11 different places here in Washington State. And every single time I go out, my number one rule is I don't go alone. because regardless whether if anybody else believes me or not, this is real for me. And my number two is I try to make myself the least amount of a threat as possible. So I do not go out with pew-pues.

I go out in a way that would make me not be a threat. I don't know if that makes sense. But yeah, you have any questions so far? Because I could just keep going. like it i mean this is absolutely incredible for a few reasons um so the area of chinook pass is about 40 minutes northeast of packwood washington and i've gotten more than a few encounters from packwood um that that whole i mean just the just the small story about how you know he he fires into the face of it i'm i'm guessing

thing if I ask if I could talk to this guy, he probably wouldn't want to talk to me. He's kept it pretty private. Yeah. Yeah. I think that here pretty soon, we might go full disclosure. There's a reason why I haven't tried to do the whole live thing yet is because every place I go is so remote. I don't have access to be able to go live. And all, I'm a truth seeker. So like, and I'm a genuine good person.

Like I have a really good heart. And I think that all these things kind of play into the experiences that I have. So, I mean, I have, I even have experiences at my house. Like, I, it happens all the time, all the time. And the only way that I could describe it is I have some kind of a spiritual connection. That's why I describe my stuff. stuff as like paranormal with with the Sasquatch and it's it's it's really far-fetched it's really hard to believe I understand all of that however people from my experiences

people that are only having physical encounter encounters they're only seeing part of the the puzzle only at just a few puzzle pieces they're not seeing all the rest of the puzzle that goes into like a full disclosure, if that makes sense. Yeah, absolutely. I also wanted to say, I'm sorry you lost your mom. That's probably the most important thing to address. Yeah.

When you say that it followed you home, are you saying, like, did you start to have vivid dreams? Did you start to maybe hear things as well? Oh, boy. I'm not sure if I should share those things. just yet because the other that's fine some of the stuff is absolutely bat s crazy like it is you got to remember like i have the standpoint that i believe that this was all a physical animal and my experiences have completely changed my way of thinking 100% have completely changed how i think about saskatch um the stuff that started happening at my happening at my house

is we took a camping trip during the month and a half and the eight eight other separate experiences I had we took a camping trip to the Nisqually River here in Thurston County and while we were there we had a four-night experience which was me my wife my sister who has also passed and then like you know her kids and my child you know so and that was that's a whole other story I'll all all that stuff. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. It always happens right before the whistle. There's a little voice that says,

what if I mess up? What if I'm not ready? I see a whole highlight reel of everything I don't want to happen. Missed shots, turnovers, letting my team down. And for a second, there's doubt. But then, I realize I've done enough to be where I'm at. The early mornings, the extra reps, the days I wanted to.

to quit and didn't. So I smile. Self-doubt is natural, but my smile is a reminder that I'm resilient. To put more smiles out into the world, Colgate has supported female athletes for over 50 years with the Colgate Women's Games. The Colgate Women's Games is the nation's longest running indoor track and field series for girls and women. Colgate, your smile is your strength.

There's no minimum age requirement and you don't need an 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 then also an experience up off Deschutes Falls up past Clear Lake towards the bald hills.

That was the first experience that my wife had and probably the only reason why she lets me do my thing is because she's also had a couple experiences. So she knows that

what from firsthand experience what I'm talking about is true. You know, I'm not lying. It's absolutely incredible. So I'd like to do a few things.

I would love if you're if you ever want to go into a deeper conversation and and share the other things that you've experienced i i would ask you know if you could reach out to me send me an email at bigfoot society at gmail dot com i'd love to have a more detailed conversation with you if you're interested in that but i think you have a lot more ground to to cover you just have to be at the point that you're able, yeah, ready to do that, I think.

My main research location. So the first three times we went there, they tried to scare us off and chase us off. And then after they actually accepted a gift of tobacco and sage. And then after that moment, everything was peaceful and it was great. And so me, my brother, his brother, my buddy, close friend, my nephew,

and a bunch of others, we had a five and a half month gifting relationship with the family of Sasquatch that I estimate between two and three dozen. There is way more Sasquatch than people actually know and believe. It's not, and that's why I believe why you have reports all across the United States. Like, it's not just something that is like an extremely rare thing. and the only reason why I say that is because every single time that I go out, I have experiences. And like for my research location, my main one, I'm 12 of 12. I've had 12 different people out there with me and all of them have had experiences.

Everything in Washington as well so far? Yeah, I haven't. I mean, I have like Mount St. Helens, Mount Rainier, Shinnock Pass, Suno Kualmi Pass. white pass the Olympics what I call the lower Olympics and the list just kind of goes on and on of the different places and my photography and my videos have been consistent in all the places like everything that I I all the all the photography that I've taken and all the videos that I've recorded have all been consistent and there's

actually only been two times that I've had an actual face-to-face encounter. The first time was the story that I shared with my first face-to-face encounter that lasted an hour and 15 minutes. And the only other time that I had another face-to-face encounter was when I decided I was not going to play a Sasquatch paparazzi in the woods and take a million photos and take a million videos or you know hours of video and yeah so every other time they've they've shown up in my photography I literally did not see them there it's just my style and what I do and how I do my research there's a lot of random photos that that I take sometimes I'll see a purple haze that is a tell-tale sign that one

of them is there sometimes it's a white smoky haze especially during the daytime, it looks like that. And then other things that go as far as my brother and how my research group fell apart was, there was three of us at the research location. My brother and his brother began carrying a pew-pues with him, which I didn't agree with and I didn't want. But my brother got pushed by something that we couldn't see. he flew approximately 12 feet, did a full frontal flip, and then I heard something laughing. And then when I helped up off the ground, he was laying there kind of rolling in pain for

for a few minutes. We all heard the laughing in our head snapped in the same direction. And so it's real stuff like that that made my research group fall apart. They started saying that there was bad energy. didn't like it. And so then there's actually more events that took place, me trying to coax my brother to going back out there with me because I won't go by myself. I've experienced all this man. And I don't think it's safe to go by myself. Yeah. And that's kind of my my standpoint on it. I will prefer to use sage versus a pew-poo. I will prefer to use love in my heart and acceptance versus

trying to become famous or make a name for myself. Because during my experiences, I explained to them that I'm a teacher. This is how we got accepted. And I believe part of how we got accepted, I was basically talking to the woods after an event that took place. And I said, look, I'm a teacher. And I know through stories that you also are teachers and I want to learn. And so that's when everything kind of ironed itself out. And then everything was fine leading up into the point where either my brothers became scared or they became greedy.

I don't know what kind of thoughts they had in their own head. But there's just a lot, a lot that goes into it. And I mean, you can see it from obvious photos from like I have here on TikTok. I think I just tried to do my first YouTube one today. I don't really see myself as like a media personality like you, that you're, you know, you're fantastic with your interviews. But like myself as a boots on the ground experiencer that has a wealth of knowledge from the experiences that I've had.

Yeah. I'm just a guy who talks to people about Bigfoot. I appreciate the kind of words. When you heard the laughing after he was pushed, did it sound like there were other sounds as part of that laughing at the same time? No, it was it was definitely distinguishable as laughter. The first thing my head said, first thing in my head, that's not real. And every, that's always been my response with all of this.

Like, it's your natural instinct. Like, that's not real. That didn't happen. That's not real. That didn't happen. And then when we helped them up, it happened again. It literally sounded like, like a human laughter. It sounded like laughter.

And when we helped him up, our head snapped in the same direction. You know, and then that's when they did not want to go back up there anymore. I got my brother to go back up there one other time. And he had something hold him down by his shoulders he couldn't see. And then he was a smoker. He used to go into my shop to smoke. He stopped going into my shop because oftentimes they'll like, roll pebbles off my roof or they'll they'll side slap the side of my shop or they'll make other

noises and stuff and then so he started going out next to my house shining two flashlights towards my backyard and how it all like culminated at the end his dog had part of her hide ripped off while she was in my yard and then after that he ended up moving out oh so whatever him and we're doing they did not like. Holy mackerel, dude. Wow. Yeah. Okay.

So I recommend a few things. I think you're being very wise. I keep taking this seriously. Just that's pretty intense stuff. Also, I would recommend to start to learn the YouTube platform and to start putting stuff on there because I think the stuff you're capturing probably can help a lot of people. Yeah. Send me an email, please. I'd love to talk to you again at a later time.

I think a lot, because a lot of people aren't going to hear this potentially, they may, but I think also a very detailed conversation with you could help a ton of people as well. Right. You know, and that's my thing is like, I just want to be able to help people that are having experiences. You know, forever I thought there was something wrong with me. I stated before because I continue to have experiences. Like it hasn't stopped and it is every single time I'm in the woods. Number one, number two, I have stuff happen at my home. And somebody mentioned I seen that they said they are tricksters. That's so true. Like starting to have stuff misplaced in my home. Having stuff disappeared, then it reappears in a different location.

I know I didn't put it in. Having and that stuff disappeared than like reappear like, just crazy stuff that I could share that is so off the wall that I wouldn't blame people for a second if they didn't believe what I had to say. But I swear on my life, everything I'm saying is true. It's facts. And I think that the disconnection, just my own personal take on it is that there's a really big disconnection between people that need that physical evidence and then people. that are having like real experiences on the paranormal side of things because they both go hand in hand. They both go together. And that's my own personal beliefs on it is that they both, they both go hand in hand. Oh, man. This is fascinating stuff. It's parts of your stories

I've heard other people say to. It just keeps, I mean, there's something going on out there. But yeah, please, how do you prefer to be referred to? people could call me Eric I was just I mean when I first made my accounts I was trying to be like not put my name out there because like I am an educator you know I am I am a person sound mind you know I'm not I'm not crazy I'm not just a weirdo that's I have a family life I'm just an average guy I just have had all these experiences and you know it's the thing about Sasquatch is like I like I said I took the approach that they're an animal at first like and what led me to believe that they are much more I now I believe that they are a type of people but what led me to believe that there's so much more to Sasquatch is personal experiences but that just keep happening you know um totally yeah it's it's been a ride it's not over yet and I don't know where it's going to lead but

hopefully I'm able to help people someday with some of their understanding and oh a part of the another really cool thing or kind of weird thing that happened check this out so after my very first experience right I'm up I'm up there off of Chinook Pass I come home the very next week at my place of work the I have the cook she comes up me she said yeah there's a there's a Sasquatch expert outside and he wants to speak to you out of nowhere. And so I go outside and I end up kind of taking an extended lunch. I met this gentleman and I've actually gone out squatching with him before. Anyways, I don't know if I should use his name or not. I'll have to ask him first for permission to use that because I don't like to just put people out there. But he's a friend of mine.

I haven't talked to him in a long time because it's hard to get out there when there's nobody to go out there with me. And so I haven't been able to establish a new research team yet. Hopefully when these days I do, but I just need to have some local people that have the same mindset where it's like, we're there for the experience. We're not there to become famous. We're there to learn. And we have no disclosure of the area that we're at because we need to keep them safe because there are people out there that have those interests. And that back from my heart like I don't want to I'm not trying I'm very vague with my descriptions of the places that I go I could kind of use terms like you know Chinook pass white pass snow qualmy pass you know the bumpy lake area

you know like I could utilize stuff like that but actual precise locations I don't use and that's for their own protection right exactly yeah um but yeah I mean like I said It's a thing where I could probably talk to you again and again and again and again and again and keep sharing things And some of the stuff that I have the shares is absolutely Like I said, it is crazy You know three years ago about all this stuff I would have said you're a liar I would not have those experiences that is not true If that is that is crazy, right? But the truth is is about Sasquatch and

The further down the rabbit hole you go. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. It always happens right before the whistle. There's a little voice that says, what if I mess up? What if I'm not ready? I see a whole highlight reel of everything I don't want to happen. Missed shots, turnovers, letting my team down.

And for a second, there's doubt. But then, I realize I've done enough to be where I'm at. The early mornings, the extra reps, the days I wanted to quit and didn't. So, I smile. Self-doubt is natural, but my smile is a reminder that I'm resilient. To put more smiles out into the world, Colgate has supported female athletes for over 50 years with the Colgate Women's Games.

The weirder and stranger things become.

It absolutely does. Absolutely does. Has that individual gone with you to your area? So he brought me to his research location, and it was the same research location that mine was. And so we went to his spot. And then we went to my spot. Yeah. And so after he brought me to his spot, I brought him to my spot.

And it's kind of, yeah, it's kind of crazy. you know I think you know having a research area and knowing that it's not you know it's legit but then also this other individual with the books takes you to the same area because that's also his area yeah dude super legit like you made like keep that yeah keep doing what you're doing man definitely and I'll keep doing what I'm doing and then I seen you follow me I'll be able to maybe message you or have you message me your email and And then we could set up another time because one of the things I would love to share,

which I don't have time. I mean, I could sit here all day. It's a Saturday if you wanted me to and I could share. But like how the Sasquatch at my main research location accepted our presence. Like it's a, it is a crazy story, how it all went down. And then it got to the point to where I was gifting them, you know, 16 to 24 apples at a time. And then they would gift me rocks and they would gift me like woven like pieces of wood. And and then some of the stories that go along with that stuff are absolutely crazy.

Absolutely. That's funny because they because you're into rocks. You're a rock hounds. So that's really interesting, man. Wow. I have a rock that they gifted me that has an eyeball on one side of it etched out. And on the other side, it has a little tiny picture of a Sasquatch etched. out on it. Really? Yeah. Oh my goodness. You know, and this, that's really intense.

This isn't even going into like how many times I've had stuff thrown at me. How many times I've heard wood knocks? How many times that I've heard whoops and heard them, you know, like what my brother refers to as like samurai chat, where it's like, um, you know, and you can hear him talking, right? So like time after time, story after story, all these experiences that I've had, You know, when I go out and I'm doing my thing, I don't do wood knocks. I don't do whoops. I don't have to. I don't have to do those things.

I don't because they come to me. Literally, they come to me and I have the experiences where I'm at in the moment where I'm at. Oh, my goodness. This is absolutely wild. I'm so glad that you came up and that we had this conversation. Feel free to pass on my. email as well to Jeff even if it doesn't even if he's like not a chance just in case I would love I would love for us because like I said I think he might be ready for his

disclosure yeah everybody is different like for me yep I'm like everybody you got to know this right for him it's like he's not that guy he's we're not the people that are trying to do this for monetary gain like I could care less about the monetary gain what I do really is for people to learn the truth and I do care about my own learning experiences like that I'm a truth seeker I've been my whole entire life and that's that's what I crave I don't crave attention I don't crave notoriety I just I but it's coming to a point to where I need to start sharing some of this stuff

to the public in a better way. Usually how I've done my thing up until now is I just take my, for the most part, I'll take just like picture clips and put them all together and that's how I kind of put it out there. I think one time I had my dad share his first experience, which is like in 1961.

Oh, wow. Where he had one look in the window of his trailer out in Roy Washington. I think that's on my TikTok too. But yeah, just stuff like that, just trying to share my point of view. I don't say that I'm right. I don't say that I'm wrong. I just can only share what I've experienced. Oh, man. This has been such a good chat. I'm going to message you later today. Can you, after we disconnect, can you put something in the comments real quick so people can tap on it

and follow your account so they can see your videos, please? Yeah, of course, of course. All right. Awesome. Yeah, but thank you for letting me share. I am going to go because my mind's a little melted right now. Yep, yep. I'm recalling this information from June 16th, 2021, like all the stuff I shared. So, like, it's not exactly always easy when you, you know, all the fine details. And I'm sure that I've forgotten details, you know, it's just has been so long. But I appreciate you, man. I appreciate the outlet that you're giving people to be able to share their experiences.

And I know that, I know that what you're doing is good works and just keep up, keep up what you're doing. because I feel that it's important, especially for people that have had experiences to be able to share when they feel comfortable. So just keep doing what you're doing, man. Thank you, Eric. I'll be in touch. Thank you for coming up again. You have a good one, man. You too.

All right. Bye. We got a tape update. Here we go. Hey, what's going on up there in Northern California, dude? Can you hear me, dude? I can, man. All right, sweet.

lights off in the car. Right. Let me turn on with those. Yeah. That's how dark it is. Oh, I can't see anything. Yeah, exactly. No, your camera is not on,

so. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Okay, let me try that. Okay. I forgot. I'm not used to the TikTok thing, so I'm going to turn those lights off. Oh, boy.

Yeah. But, dude, I'm freaked out and I'm not even there. Wow. I mean, it's light enough for my, like, the naked eye to see, but there's enough, like, sunset light. It's not too bad. Okay. Yeah. Wow.

Do you, do you back into wherever you park? Do you do that? Do I back in or? Yeah, like, so you can get out quick? Yeah, I mean, where I'm going to be at Laos camp, it's pretty easy to get out. Yeah. The nice thing is the roads are freaking good, dude. They graded the roads because of the fires for the trucks to get in here.

That's what Bobo was saying, dude. Yeah. So there's not that many sharp rocks. Oh, nice. At all. You're going to book it out of here for an emergency, dude. I totally can't have to worry about getting a flat. That's awesome.

I mean, I bet you're prepared just in case, but that's pretty sweet. You don't have to worry about it. Yeah, I got a spare. I got the jack and everything. Hey, right. Explain, can you explain what type of car would probably be best for a trip like that? The Bluff Creek? Yeah, on that road.

Well, I know Jonathan has like a Rav 4, and that makes it pretty good. Just something with decent clearance. good tires. So a van, probably not so much. If the van has good tires and it has clearance, then yeah, you're good. Okay.

Gotcha. Like a Rabfork can make it. I don't think I would take a Prius out here. No, no, probably not. Don't take a Prius. Yeah, a van could make it, like a cargo van, if that's what you're

wondering, or like I could make it. There's some sprinter. Vance that are lifted that can make it. Right. For sure. I mean, because crying out loud, dude, people park freaking freaking RVs right here where I'm at.

Oh, really? Yeah. Well, I guess Perez got his RV down there, right? Yeah, I mean, but that was a long time ago, so who knows how wide the roads were at the time and all that. Right. Word, word, word.

Yeah, it's a good area up here. I'm just chilling. I'm going to make Yeah, can you have fires out there? Are you going to have like I guess you have Coleman stove or something, right? I have, well, for cooking,

I'm going to use a, like, a propane little propane stove. Since we're by a creek, we can have a fire. Okay, cool. Nice. We'll do that. But yeah, man,

It's just chilling like a villain out here, you know. Hopefully he doesn't get lost on the way and he gets there soon. Oh, no, Glenn's been here thousands of times, nearly as much as I have. Yeah. He knows the area pretty well. I just didn't know what time he was going to be here, so I just had to come up to the place that had service and give him a call. There you go.
