In a recent video from the YouTube channel Sasquatch, Bukwas Crew, Jennifer Watkins from Ohio shares her journey into the world of Sasquatch research. As a female researcher, Jen offers a unique perspective on what draws women to the subject and how they may contribute differently to the field. Jen's interest in Sasquatch was sparked at a young age after watching a PG film and some documentaries. She was intrigued by the possibility of such a creature existing in the woods. While her girlfriends were not into the subject, Jen found a community of like-minded individuals through her research. When asked if women approach Sasquatch research differently than men, Jen believes that they do. She suggests that women may be more nurturing and less aggressive in their approach, which could potentially lead to better communication with the creature. However, she also acknowledges that both sexes have the ability to remain calm in a potentially aggressive situation. Jen's enthusiasm for the subject is evident in the video, and she speaks passionately about the friendships she has made through her research. She admits that as the years go by, she has found herself surrounded by others with an interest in Sasquatch, while some of her other friendships have drifted away. One of Jen's most memorable experiences in the field was a trip to Mount St. Helens. For her, the trip was more about meeting fellow researchers and forming connections than it was about the location itself. Jen identifies as an enthusiast and investigator rather than a researcher. She enjoys looking for footprints and listening for sounds in the night, but she does not go out with a lot of gear or expect to come back with film footage. She also retains a healthy dose of skepticism and recognizes that there are many different stances to take on the subject. Overall, Jen's journey into Sasquatch research is a fascinating look at what draws people to the subject and how they approach it. Her unique perspective as a female researcher offers valuable insights into the world of Sasquatch research.
