American Chestnuts & Sasquatch: Exploring Appalachian Habitat and Food Corridors

In a recent video from the YouTube channel Squatch Talk, host Pat sits down with a guest to discuss all things Sasquatch, with a particular focus on the East Coast. The conversation covers a range of topics, from the impact of the American chestnut blight on Sasquatch food sources to the possibility of a carnivorous creature like Dogman existing in the region. One of the main points of discussion is the availability of food for Sasquatch in the Eastern food corridor, specifically the cloud forest and rainforest of the East Coast. The speakers note that gorillas and chimpanzees would also be able to subsist in this ecosystem, leading them to believe that Sasquatch could as well. Another interesting topic brought up is the impact of the American chestnut blight on Sasquatch populations. The speakers discuss the fact that while there are millions of American chestnut trees in the forests of Georgia, none of them produce nuts due to the blight. This leads to a discussion about the potential for inoculating existing stands of American chestnut trees to help them insinuate themselves into the understory growth and potentially provide a food source for Sasquatch. Towards the end of the video, the speakers touch on the topic of Dogman and its potential existence on the East Coast. They express some skepticism about the idea of a hardcore carnivore surviving on the East Coast due to the lower biodiversity and lack of available game. However, they also note that the introduction of wolves and larger canids could potentially help manage deer and pig populations, which are a problem in the region. Overall, this video from Squatch Talk offers an interesting and informative look at the world of Sasquatch and the potential for their existence on the East Coast.
