Bigfoot Hunters' Tragic End: Preparation Lessons from Gifford Pinchot

A recent video posted on the YouTube channel Cryptid Wilderness Research has caught the attention of the Bigfoot community. The video, titled "CWR Talk: The Skamania County Hiker Deaths," discusses the tragic deaths of two men in Washington state who were found dead in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest while allegedly hunting for Sasquatch. The hosts of the video, Daniel Becker and Matt Slater, are joined by Larry Baxter from the Alaskan Watch podcast and Chuk Johnson from Chuk's Outdoor Adventures. The group discusses the details of the incident, including the unpreparedness of the men and the harsh weather conditions in the area. Larry Baxter shares that he reached out to the Skamania County Sheriff's Department to ask if more information would be released, but was told that it could not be requested through public records request and not all information is subject to release. Baxter ultimately decided not to file a records request out of respect for the families of the deceased. Chuk Johnson, an experienced outdoorsman, offers his recommendations for preparing for field research, including being ready for weather and terrain. He notes that it is important to always be prepared, even if the weather seems nice at the time of departure. The group emphasizes the importance of being prepared and having a plan when venturing into the wilderness, especially in search of Sasquatch. They remind viewers to always let someone know where you are going and when you will be back, and to bring proper gear and supplies. As Bigfoot believers, it is important for us to remember the dangers that can come with searching for Sasquatch and to always prioritize safety. Our thoughts are with the families of the two men who lost their lives in this tragic incident.
