The BFF V The BFRO Forums

Proper precaution: It's important to wear a tinfoil hat when out looking for Bigfoot. They can read our minds!
 
I joined the BFF in either '99 or 00', and embarassingly enough for a few years there I was afraid that if I didn't log in every day I was gonna miss out on bigfoots discovery by any one of the members of the group.

No. He is very happy to explain what he experienced. It was Bigfoot.

A person who truly can't explain their experience would have no particular gravitation towards Bigfoot as an explanation.

That's what I wrote - the thing that he couldn't explain he explained as bigfoot:

" . . . he believes what he saw on his thermal imager had to have been a bigfoot. "

You're right though: he was a 'footer first or he never would've been pointing a thermal imager into the woods.

Gee, I can. I've been camped in places where it might be important to establish what might be skulking about at the perimeter. Of course these were real entities like bears for which we could take the proper precautions.

Uhhh no , eventually you would, but if you aren't armed appropriately, you don't give your position away until you figure out what you are dealing with. He had no flashlight to navigate the terrain, just the thermal imager to give him some kind of visual.

Do you think I've never camped before?

No, you want a bear to know your position and you make that clear by making as much noise as possible. "HEY BEAR! HEY BEAR!" Unless it was hunting season I generally didn't go afield armed even in bear country and back in the day we didn't really carry bear spray. But even then we knew how to take precautions. Don't sleep in your cooking clothes, keep the food well away from the camp, hanging up a tree if possible. All the usual stuff. The last thing you want to do with a bear is to surprise it, and be surprised by it yourself. I've only run into a bear in that kind of situation twice, and both times from a far enough distance that we didn't have any problems.

And what kind of person goes into the bush without a flashlight, but carries a thermal camera? Seems a bit odd, but then again I'm not a bigfoot "researcher." So I guess I don't know how to proceed in a camping situation when visited by a nonexistent creature.

I've always imagined footers as a much less intelligent version of the characters on, The Big Bang Theory, and they most likely would forget to take flashlights.

Yeah, if it is a bear, but if it is an armed pot grower you might not want to be too hasty. At any rate, I don't think either option occured to Bart at the time, but that would have been what I thought before I concluded "bigfoot". Once bigfoot is the forgone conclusion you are no longer a "researcher" IMO.
