Bigfoot Hunter Shares Top Three Tips for Finding Sasquatch

Came across a really interesting conversation the other day over on the Backpacking & Blisters Podcast channel. They had Mike Wanders on as a guest, and if you're not familiar with Mike, he's one of the most respected Sasquatch researchers and documentary filmmakers out there right now. The guy has spent years in the field and has some fascinating insights to share about how to actually go about finding one of these elusive beings. The whole episode is built around six different methods for finding a Sasquatch, and Mike walks through each one with some really thoughtful commentary. What struck me most was his overall philosophy. He's not about trying to outsmart these creatures. In fact, he made this great analogy about how trying to set up elaborate traps is like a Sasquatch coming into your living room and setting up a camera you don't know about. It's their territory, and they're the masters of it. His first tip might sound obvious, but it's crucial. You have to genuinely love being outdoors. Because honestly, most of the time nothing happens. You might go out twenty times and only have one moment that completely shocks you. But if you love camping, backpacking, and sitting by a fire under the stars regardless, then even a "bust" trip is still a win. That's a mindset a lot of researchers talk about, and patience really is everything in this field. The second tip is one that resonates with a lot of people in the Sasquatch community: connect with local researchers. Mike specifically mentioned the Olympic Project, which is a highly respected citizen science group working in the Pacific Northwest. They collaborate with actual primatologists, anthropologists, zoologists, and wildlife biologists to collect long-term data, including audio recordings, thermal captures, footprint evidence, and sighting reports.
