A new video has recently caught my attention and I couldn't wait to share it with all of you fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts. The video, titled "Searching for Sasquatch in Squamish Caves | Bigfoot Documentary Series | Herbalist," was posted on the YouTube channel RenaissanceMan.
The video takes us on a journey through the beautiful Squamish River Valley in British Columbia, Canada, where the Sasquatch is said to roam and dwell in hidden caves. The breathtaking aerial shots of the valley showcase the rugged beauty of the region, with snow-dusted peaks looming over dense evergreen forests and the river winding through the wilderness like a silver thread.
But the video is not just about the search for Sasquatch. It also highlights the extraordinary bounty of natural medicine offered by the valley's flora, known and revered by the Squamish Nation for generations. The video features Skylie Murray, an herbalist, who shares her knowledge of the medicinal plants found in the valley and demonstrates how to harvest them.
I found the video's focus on the Squamish Nation's oral histories and beliefs surrounding saset, or Bigfoot, to be particularly interesting. The Squamish Nation viewed saset as a protector of the forest and a guardian of the land, and the video emphasizes the importance of respecting these hidden places and not trying to understand everything in this world.
The video also follows a team of researchers as they explore the valley, navigating dense underbrush, rugged terrain, and surveying the area with drones equipped with thermal imaging. The geology of the Squamish River Valley is fascinating, with limestone and volcanic activity creating caves throughout the valley.
Overall, I found this video to be informative, engaging, and respectful of the Squamish Nation's beliefs and traditions. I highly recommend checking it out and letting us know what you think in the comments below. And as always, happy Squatching!
