If you're a fan of Bigfoot and all things related to the mysterious creature, then you're in for a treat. A recent video from the YouTube channel Bigfoot and Beyond Podcast features Tyler Bounds, a long-time Bigfoot enthusiast and former camera operator for the show "Finding Bigfoot." In the video, Bounds shares his journey into the world of Bigfoot research, which began with a childhood encounter with his grandfather. From there, Bounds became increasingly interested in the creature, eventually leading him to participate in expeditions with the BFRO and eventually becoming a fixer and camera operator for "Finding Bigfoot." Bounds is known for his expertise in the outdoors and his ability to identify various plant and animal species, making him a valuable asset to any Bigfoot expedition. In fact, during his time on "Finding Bigfoot," Bounds was responsible for discovering and casting footprints, which are now on display at the North American Bigfoot Center. But Bounds' contributions to the world of Bigfoot research go beyond just his time on "Finding Bigfoot." He also has a background in reviewing outdoor gear for Backpacker magazine, allowing him to test out and evaluate various products in different ecosystems and climates. One interesting bit from the video is the origin of the camping segment on "Finding Bigfoot." According to Bounds, the camping segment was introduced due to cast dissatisfaction with the way things were going on the show. The network executives from Manhattan visited the set and, after a blowout meeting, the camping segment was born. This allowed the cast to engage in more real Bigfooting and, as Bounds puts it, "make TV Mayhem." Overall, the video is a fascinating look into the world of Bigfoot research and the experiences of those who have dedicated their lives to studying the creature. Whether you're a seasoned Bigfoot enthusiast or just starting to learn about the mysterious creature, this video is definitely worth a watch.
