I want to appologize to everyone on the BFF for my recent tirade against TB. TB and MM are pissing me off to no end. They are making the srious reaserchers look like fools. Everything that TB says is real turns out to be fake. My family and I( yes they support me in this) are seriously thinking of moving out to BC so I can activly searh for Sasquatch full time rater than search 2 weeks every year.
I give everyone here on the BFF my word and promise that I will do all I can to prove Sasquatch is real and not embellish or falsify any findings I make. I will let you all know when I am going to search, but not where until I am done in the field for the season.
Not that I don't trust the people on BFF but anyone can read these posts and we wind up with idiots running through the woods in ape costumes. By not saying where I'm going to look, there's not much chance of hoaxes.
I am very serious about this. I will prove that Sasquatch exists, one way or another.
Full Version: Appologies
No sweat here 
Good luck with the search, keep us on the update!

How many years do you intend to invest? I ask because many others have taken a similar path and been unsuccessful. (John Green, Rene Dahinden, Dr. Krantz, etc.)

Of course I can't promise anything, but I will promise this. If I find foot prints I will not sit on them, but I will contact certain people here on the BFF to come and validate what I find, including Red Rat Snake, Bi pedal, spudsquatch and select others. I will set up camera traps in places that I have found tracks before. I will not use plaster to make casts but a rubber compound instead, the rubber compound will show all the details in the track( epidermal ridges etc.) I will spend as much time in the field as I can. I will ask other serious researchers to come on weekend trips to help.
I expect to hear a certain ammount of sceptisism, that's why I don't advertize where I'm going to search, less chance of hoaxing that way.
Hi
No Apologies needed on my end, I have seen and heard the things that have been said and done by those two so i understand completely,
One piece of advice i can give ya , It comes from one of our members ~ Le Petit Pied ~ She almost hid behind a BF while playing hide and seek as a kid and got the scare of a life time,
~ ( When your out in the woods looking for a Bigfoot always remember to check and make sure it's a tree before you start knocking on it ) ~
Peace

SWEET!!
Come out here! Come out here!
No, really, one thing to remember to aid in the credibility of your footprints, when you find them, is to try to photograph and somehow document that they go a long ways. It's not just the cast that counts, but the step, stride, and the environment that answer the questions of what is the beast, what is it like, and where is it going. What is it doing there. Etc.
But good luck, dude, on finding the big folks. They are very very smart and very very shy, apparently. Remember Jane Goodall and her chimps. She stayed in the forest for months, feeding them piles of sugarcane at regular times each day, before any of them trusted her with even a glimpse.

LOL.. I'm nearly up to 10 years myself. And I still consider myself a noob, compared to some.
Makes me think of a quote, which I think, came from Rene Dahindin...
And I paraphrase: "What will you do that hasn't been tried before?"
I always try to keep that in mind..

I wish you luck bigbear, Just remember that you should not research alone, and dont let the hunt overtake your life, cause it will. Find your own balance of time and expense that you can sustain. Looking forward to your results.

no issues from me, pointing out Biscardi's flaws is neither new news or a crime however
Welcome to The West BigBear
Full time research is definitely the way to go. If you decide to focus your research on the eastern part of the province then PM me as I am just across the border in AB.
Good Luck to you and your family.

Start by looking for hot zones ,where there has been alot of sightings and you know for certain that these creatures are in that area.Start camping there and reaching out to them and letting them know you want contact .Once you have done that keep that going because after that it is just a waiting game .Keep things to yourself or within your group until you have gotten what you wanted as proof .Becarefull with these creatures once you have found what you are looking for.Try not to put up the camera traps ,this will just take you back from where you started and you will discover nothing.do not try to prove them to no one but yourself ,if you can do this then you will know the truth about them.Personaly they should just be left alone and i believe that this is why they are moving more north and deeper into the swamps and forest.

why is everyone appologing 
sorry - wrong thread
Good luck in your endevours..
Hello bigbearbuddy,
Yep, no need to apologize for a late revelation that there are certain entities in this interest that makes you feel a non affiliation to the the subject.
They piss us all off.
Have you come across Todd Standing yet? Another pissy letdown.
The wonderfull thing about this forumn is that you get it all.
The good and the bad.
To make use of the good - you need to suffer the bad. I hope it dont discourage you right off.
I'm looking forward to throwing some artificial flies around with you this summer and discussing some squatchy shitt. I'm sure when two like minded people get together on this subjecct, there'll be only positive outlooks come out of it.
Dont know buddy how much you've researched this but if BC is your stompng grounds then you may want to check out these folks.
http://sasquatch-bc.com/
Best there is in my opinion.
I'll be talking to you. Looking forward to seeing you/you'se this summer.

Well, if sasquatch do exist, then they do exist in BC, as well as other locations of course. To myself BC always stood for Bigfoot Country. Problem is BC is damned big and there is as incredible amount of area that is pretty much unaccessable.
Hope you have lots of money or a career you can settle into 'cause the economy is getting rough out west. Rent and mortages are ridiculous, unless you move away from major centers.
If you can establish a small area, let's say 10 miles x 10 miles (that's only 100 square miles of dense forest) that you are very confident contains at least one sasquatch. A history of current reports can help establish the above criterea. Then move your family into the middle of that area and live like squatters till the locals trust you, eat you or possibly, you end up becoming one...LOL
If I was to give up everything and move across the country to find a sasquatch, I think I would choose one of the coastal islands in northern BC or southern Alaska. I would also track down Robert Alley.
BTW...someone told me where a sasquatch is living in BC if it will help you any
....seriously

Hi Julio and thanks for the advice. I have an area in mind. I've found tracks there in the past and have always wanted to be able to explore it more thouroughly.I'll probably take a 2 month vacation and spend it all researching the area I have in mind.
Hi, I am Phil's (bigbear) wife. I'm sorry to tell you that he was killed in an accident today. Please carry on the search in his memory.

Again, my deepest condolences to you and your family. It would be cool if some of the BC researcher's could have a little
in memoriam service for him in the place he loved dearest.
in memoriam service for him in the place he loved dearest.
That would have been Elk Mountain, not far from Chilliwack. He loved it there. That was where he saw his first tracks and that was where he wanted to go back to. I think he was a member of the BC group, but I don't know how to get hold of them. Thanks for all your help and simpathy. The children and I appreciate you all.

No need to delete the account. What better way to keep his dream going, then by having you to keep us updated from time to time.
The children and I are going to continue his search. Do you think I should keep this account in his name or should I start my own account? I would like to continue with his.
I'm sure the mods would allow it, but since I'm not one, send them a PM.
He was also a member of West Coast Sasquatch, but I don't know how to get hold of them. Can anyone help me with this?
How do I download a photo of him so everyone can see the man they have been talikng to and the man and father that the children and I loved?

It would be really great if you could post his obituary here for us all. Some knew him better than others. We'll help with the posting it if you need it.
You can continue to use his account or you can create your own account. You can't delete his account. It will always be here on the forum. We don't delete accounts and members don't have access to delete them.

Thank you. I would like to continue using his name. I would like to -post a photo of him so everyone can see who he was. He was a good man. Even though he didn't know him, he thought alot of fishbone? Said he would have liked to have met him, I guess they will meet now in another place.
I hate to ask, but what sort of accident was he involved in? Bless his heart. He will be missed.
Not that it matters but he died going into a housefire. He got a 2 year old child out but didn't make it out himself. If people on this site do not believe that Phil is no longer with us, if they don't think that our children and I aren't going to his funeral, if you don't understand what it feels like to lose someone you love, I guess he was wrong about this site, I guess he didn't have any friends here afterall
Certainly not to be rude, but I'm just curious how was bigbear aquainted with Fish, when bigbear only joined this forum in January of this year?

This puzzles me Penny. Of course it matters if he died in a housefire and if he got a 2 year old out he's a hero. Not sure why you'd say "not that it matters."
I hate to point this out but BigBear didn't join West-Coast Sasquatch until February 19th. That was only like 40 hours ago. He must have kept you very informed Penny.

Unless it didn't matter because it never happened. Still nothing on the news. You would think such heroic actions would be newsworthy by now.
I'm in contact with bigbear's local newspaper - please be patient
I stay away from things like this espesiaclly when someone dies ,I am just not good with dealing when someone dies but we all have to go through that portal one day.But this is wrong and i mean really wrong that we have to investigate this because we as human just do not believe in another person grief.It is distgusting the action that is taking place,and it is truely wrong.I cannot believe how we as humans can act this way over the death of another person.
I never did get a chance to corespond with Bigbear but it seems that the big man upstairs had other plans for him .It also seems that he now knows the truth to alot of answers that we still do not have.I am truely sorry for his loss,but may he be with us in spirit.Take care Big bear and may you now enjoy that new spirit that we have been promised.One day we will meet .
Penny
Keep his search alive and his family safe for these creatures are very special beings.If you search them they will find you.Do not fear them and they will protect .

Mark, do you really not see all the many things that make this claim suspicious??
Julio,
It is sad, but I am sorry I have to disagree. There are several red flags with this situation. If it does turn out that this is a hoax, then those who perpetrated it should be called on the carpet. If this turns out to be a tragic loss of life then all of us know that the members of the bigfoot community are pretty good at setting aside differences and rallying to the support of others.
Sadly, in this day and age, nothing can be taken at face value.
I am sure Paul will keep us posted.
