So I just stumbled across this collab video between PNW Rush and Steve Searches, and let me tell you, there's a lot to unpack here. These two have been spending serious time in the woods, and the experiences they share are exactly the kind of stuff that keeps you up at night thinking about.
One of the most intriguing moments comes when PNW Rush talks about finding a single footprint. He checked all around for a second print, walked down a game trail, looked again, and came up empty. So he casts the one he found, heads back to his car because it's 95 degrees out, and then on his way back the way he originally came in, he spots another single print that wasn't there before. Same exact print, but on a flatter surface this time. The detail he mentions is wild: a really pointy big toe, and what looks like a little toe that's broken or jammed in a weird way. He mentions finding smaller prints in the same area the year before, which raises that question we all love to speculate about: could this be a juvenile Sasquatch growing up? The idea of a young one frequenting the area isn't far-fetched when you consider how often these creatures are thought to travel in family groups.
But the part that really got my attention was the electronics story. PNW Rush set up both a video camera and a Zoom H1 audio recorder, both fully charged, with the camera even hooked up to an external battery. He turned them on at 12:18 AM, and by 3:21 AM the audio recorder was dead, and by 3:25 AM the camera was dead too. Three to four minutes apart from each other. The Zoom H1 Essential is supposed to last 8 to 10 hours, and the camera should have gone much longer than three hours with that external battery. Both devices were about 20 to 25 yards apart, with the audio recorder near where they put apples and the camera sitting on top of his Bronco. The timing is suspicious, especially when you factor in that he woke up at 4:58 AM to what his buddy Glenn described as a bear growling. The question hanging in the air is obvious: did something visit the camp around 3:25 AM and cause both devices to die simultaneously?
And then there's the handprint. PNW Rush mentions a handprint on his Bronco that looks like maybe a thumb and two fingers, definitely bigger than his or Glenn's hands, and not in a spot that would be lit up enough for either of them to leave it. The classic "Bigfoot touched my car" scenario, and the timing lines up with the electronics dying.
The stick structure at McBride Lake is another gem. An intricate baby stick structure built into the edge of a bank, sticks woven through each other. This fits with the juvenile Sasquatch theory, and it's the only real stick structure they've found in that area. Combined with the trailer rocking, the talking noises captured on camera, and the footprint finds, this whole square mile seems to be a hotspot of activity.
The video also captures some audio of limbs snapping in the woods that went on for 15 to 20 minutes, which is the kind of sustained wood knocking behavior researchers have documented over the years. It's not just one snap, it's a pattern, and that pattern is something Sasquatch researchers pay close attention to.
Honestly, this is one of those videos that reminds you why people keep going back to these spots. The accumulation of strange events, the simultaneous equipment failures, the physical evidence, it all adds up to something that can't easily be dismissed. If you haven't watched it yet, definitely check it out. These guys are doing the work, and the experiences they're sharing are the real deal.
