Remembering Bigfoot Researcher Scott Carpenter: A Legacy of Discovery

Recently, I came across a touching tribute video on the YouTube channel Canam Missing Project. The video, titled "A Tribute To Scott Carpenter," is a heartfelt remembrance of a man who was not only a colleague but also a friend and a dedicated researcher in the field of Bigfoot studies. The video's creator, Dave Politis, speaks candidly about his friend Scott, who passed away at the age of 59. Scott was a kind and religious man, who loved the outdoors and had a particular fondness for bass fishing and hunting. He was a devoted father and grandfather, and his love for his family was evident in the photos and stories shared in the video. Scott's interest in Bigfoot began when he was a young boy, after seeing a creature peering around a tree at him. This encounter sparked a lifelong passion for researching and documenting Bigfoot sightings and experiences. Scott served in the U.S Air Force in the 1980s and had a top-secret clearance, which no doubt came in handy in his Bigfoot research. One of the most interesting parts of the video is when Dave and Scott discuss their innovative ways of collecting evidence. They realized that using trail cams would likely yield nothing, so they came up with a non-technological way of collecting DNA evidence. They used packing tape, sticky side out, and placed it on the side of a tree near the fork. They then placed pancakes and bacon grease as bait, and were able to collect Bigfoot hair, which was a major breakthrough in the Bigfoot DNA project. Dave and Scott also had a number of memorable experiences in the woods, including encountering a copperhead snake and hearing Bigfoot vocalizations. Scott was also a filmmaker, and his love of filming the outdoors was no doubt a passion he shared with Ben, who was working on a film with Dave before he took his own life. The video is a touching tribute to a man who was not only a dedicated researcher but also a kind and loving father, grandfather, and friend. It's clear that Scott will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved him.
