Full Version: sasquatch nest
Would someone mind explaining to me just what it is that a sasquatch nest is? Does it have eggs in it? I keep seeing this term used here and I hope someone will fill me in.
As i understand it it should look like a matted down area with some soft leaves and stuff in it, like a ground nest a gorilla might make.
Of course, they might just roost in trees at night too.

Bears do this too.

Nest = bed
eggs are extra

I hope the eggs part is sarcasm/humor. It's often difficult to tell, given the dryness of internet posting. If not, keep fishin'.

I've seen large trees knocked dowm and the roots covered with dirt and a large hollow beneath the roots, before.

Here is a picture of a reported BF bed minus the eggs. The eggs only appear directly after Easter, and they have primitve decorations. There are reported signs of a scuffle since BF hair, and pink bunny hair is scattered all over the area!

Funny, but if there were a spot where one thought that a BF was regularly staying, there might be some interesting eggs..lice eggs. Crab lice...turns out they're species specific and there was some interesting reseach and speculation regarding the evolution of chimp, gorilla, human and indirectly neanderthal lice. And if not eggs, maybe some bits of their exoskeletons.
I had a Bigfoot Omlette once...tasted like chicken.
The female BF will stay with the egg, high in a tree nest, while the male heads out to sea to search for newborn goats. Just like dolphins do.
Since all the good nest jokes have been taken, I'll have to resort to an attempt to help you with your question redtail. Start with this.....

Or if you still have questions, just watch Survivorman or Man Vs Wild, their "nests" are the same principle

One reason sasquatch nests are so rare is due to their demand in the Orient. The nests are made into a highly prized soup.

Yep, had that too...tasted like frog legs.
I read about a BF den, that was dug out and under a log deck. The report came from hikers in BC that came across the den, then later some BFs chased them out of the forest.
On a more serious note, I do wonder about BF sleeping accommodations. I do understand the nest "huts" for winter use but in the warmer and/or drier months, wouldn't a simple nest like a bear makes be a lot easier? Most of the bear nests I find are pretty obvious due to the quantity of feces in close proximity but occasionally I find one that doesn't have any. Makes me wonder.
Hi
~ Redtail ~ I hope you know some of the cast here are only having a little fun with your mentioning eggs along with a Bigfoot nest, I think for the most part everyone is pretty sure that a Bigfoot would squirt out a little one in the same fashion as most mammals ~
It's all in fun
Peace

Seriously, I know I've read of a few reports where they've made their nests in abandoned buildings and such...
Yeah Redtail, just goofing around before.
I think BF nest/beds is a great subject. I've never seen one..... or even a photo of one that has convinced me in the slightest. I always wonder why. "Maybe it is"...... is not enough for me. Stick formations are not enough for me. I need to see a footprint, hand print or partial body print, or better yet.... hair left behind which has never been shown to me in a bed. I hope some has that data and will post it here. If nobody has that data (in a photo rather than recall) it makes me think that they don't bed down on the ground. Maybe they sleep on sturdy tree limbs or some other surface that doesn't leave a marked history. If they did sleep on a surface like grass, A BF or multiple BF's in an area would leave behind many nests in a week. Sooner or later a hunter would spot and document it. Some hunters look for beds as they track their game and can identify many different factors including the gender of many different animals. They know what to look for and would hopefully notice giant human-like features. The first thing anyone rational person would do is get a camera. Yet no proof in pictures exist.
I've heard tons of stories about nests but never seen proof. I know someone will post a hut made out of twigs but c'mon huh, knock it off. I draw a line on conspiracy huts. I hope someone gets better proof and shows it to me. I think a nest would be a substantial find.

I have a theory on nests. Can't prove a thing but it would explain a lack of nests.
Here where I live we have a lot of steep, rugged river and creek canyons. While there are logging and mining roads down into some of those canyons, many of them are only accessible by foot, and even then, it's not easy. People rarely go down into these roadless canyons. During hunting season most of the hunters just drive around in their 4x4's or on their OHV's on the existing roads. This leaves a lot of wild country open for daytime BF sleeping where their chance of being discovered is pretty slim. Using a bears nest as a prototype, a BF would have to put little effort into making a nest if they even need to make anything at all. Unless one lays down on stick or a rock, it's actually quite comfortable on the thick duff of the forest floor. I've personally done plenty of sleeping on the forest floor using nothing but a lunch box or hard hat for a pillow.
If a BF did make a nest, it would only involve moving the sticks out of the way and then shifting the needles and leaves into a comfortable position. When done sleeping, a little shifting of the duff and sticks and voila!- no evidence. During rougher weather a hut could also be made and then disassembled to hide any evidence. If the BF feels the need to use the hut more than once, and is confident it won't be discovered, he could leave it up for as long as needed.
Years ago we were packing in to start the falling of a new cable unit down in one of these steep canyons. It was just barely light enough to sort of see where we were going through the thick timber and brush. All of a sudden there was some heavy crashing through the brush and trees headed down toward the creek below us. And there on the uphill side of a big tree was a bears nest. Still warm to the touch. Kinda cool- we woke up Yogi.
Just some thoughts, have fun, Norcal

BF mom to son:
Frank, did you make your nest before you go out? If you don't, you won't get any Elk Casserole tonight ! And clean up your cave ! It looks like your cousin Elmers been in there again,,,,,,,,,,
Awwwww mom,,,,,the guys are waiting outside,,,,,,,,,

These are my thoughts. Here, close to Coos Bay, Oregon, we have steep rocky canyons and high cliffs. I venture to say noone has climbed those canyon walls, and this is where BF will make its bed. Where it can see and hear intruders coming such as bears, or cougars and not humans.
During hunting season most of the hunters just drive around in their 4x4's or on their OHV's on the existing roads. This leaves a lot of wild country open for daytime BF sleeping where their chance of being discovered is pretty slim.
Good point. Many of our forest roads are being gated off, so BF can sleep better now.

Hey furious george, I believe there are reports of nest with hair that does not belong to any known mammal. This is one good indicator otherwise a nest could be a bear.

LOL I guess that would account for why BF are always in such a bad mood. Woken from sound slumber by pesky humans!
Well if you truly believe that bigfoot exists, they certainly need to sleep somewhere. Making a temporary bed/shelter certainly makes sense and I as others have come across bedding areas from time to time. Bigfoot or other mammals? If you can't find any evidence that a bigfoot was there, you almost have to rule it out as a bigfoot bedding area and subscribe to the theory a more common animal/mammal made the nest. JMO 
There might be BF nests out there somewhere. I consider myself as taking a huge leap believing that the animal exists. I've never seen one and I want it to be true. I would love to build a case for it's existence, like most everyone here. I want to build a case with solid evidence not wishy washy maybe evidence. Prints in a nest would be big time. It could still be a hoax but we don't even have that so far.

Consider the Marble Mountain Footage. It is this, and this alone, that has me convinced that BF truly does exist.
1) Three minutes of admittedly crummy footage, from a great distance away, of a creature (that does NOT look nor act human) out in the middle of a federally protected Wilderness Area. (Hardly where you'd go to hoax someone.)
2) A videographer who has an impeccable reputation and did not have (at the time nor now nor probably ever) an interest in BF.
3) A BFRO interview (Montra Dumond and Kevin Withers) that was described as (paraphrasing) "as credible as a witness could be".
4) Follow up investigation by the worlds' leading measurer of difficult objects (Doug Devine, Medford, OR). He contracts his business services to The Smithsonian, National Geographic and more.
5) His findings: Height- 6' 7", Waist- 56", Chest- 58", Weight- 683 lbs., Stride- 56", Arm Length- 43", Leg Length- 40" (approx.)
6) Doug Devine has full control and ownership of this footage (as prepared by an attorney) and intends to concisely present this information to the public soon.
All of this information can be found on the Internet (it's not easy) and I don't know how much more credible it can get. Sure, there are some arguments but all that I've heard come from ignorance, not substantial holes in the story.
So, with that in mind, I keep my eyes open at work every day for "nests".
Have fun, Norcal
Don't get me wrong. I have great hope that the animal exists. Those things you have listed are good variables to steer me in the right direction but they are not enough for me. That's just me. If it's good enough for you, that's cool too. I take nothing away. I just need (again, just for me) more than "A guy on the internet said so" as evidence. I know it sounds harsh and I'm fine with people believing what they believe. I don't discourage. My standards just differ. They are not better or worse.... just different. Words alone don't cut it for me. "What else could it be?" in videos doesn't do it for me either because there are other explanations. As the great Bill Green would say.....I guess I'll have to wait patiently indeed.
I understand George, and I guess I may be a bit swayed by the fact that I'm related to the videographer, have spent hundreds of nights camped out in the wilds with him, saw the original footage in his livingroom, have backpacked into the Marble Mountain Wilderness Area on several occassions, talked to Doug Devine on the phone from his house for nearly an hour, was given a DVD of Doug's work team doing their research up in the Marble Mountains... and on and on.
Wow! I think that's the longest sentence I've ever written. And if you couldn't tell it was also a plea from me, "Hey, I'm important here... Listen to ME!... Really, this is real... honest..." (I re-read my above paragraph and it reminded me of when our grandkids get on the trampoline. Even the nine year old shouts out, "Hey everybody, look at me!, LOOK AT ME!!!" And with the little ones it's almost a mantra.
Yes, and while what I had presented was somewhat compelling, it certainly may not be conclusive to most.
But your response did give me fodder for thought while working out in the shop this afternoon:
When does belief (or even theory) become fact? Perhaps time for a new thread?
Sasquatch nest. There, I said it. I'm not off topic.

I've only seen the few still from the MM footage. The MM stuff has a great purpose.....just like a nest, footprints, PGF, and MRP. These things drum up interest from people that would normally not be interested in BF. There are people in the "maybe" camp that will never take a peak and hopefully those things will sway some people enough to investigate. I'm in the "maybe" camp that does look for an answer. The more people that take a look, the better the odds are at finding a BF. To me, those things I listed above are positive in that respect and serve a great purpose.

I have always thought that that is where they bury there dead, and not where they live and that that is why they stack logs and branches against fallen logs in the forest.
Of course I know you are having fun. I hope you realize my question about the eggs is all in fun too? I hope...
I am a hunter, and I spend more time in the forests than most hunters do as I like it out there. Year round I mean. Coming across bedding areas of deer, bear, and even moose is fairly common, at least in this area. I was just looking over a newly discovered bedding area this morning while pre season scouting. In all of my wanderings out there, over the years, I've never seen anything I'd consider as evidence of a sasquatch in any way. There are occasional reports from around here, and even a few that are hard to scoff at, but otherwise things around here (New Hampshire) are pretty quiet. Never have I seen a "nest" or bedding area that didn't belong to one of the above named critters.

Nests could be temporary warm-weather shelters. Bigfoot may live in caves and mines. There was a WA sighting in a cave on a cliff-face. Forget all the nonsense about knocked-down trees, trees fall over all the time.
