The Bigfoot 2017 Expedition Backstory

Bigfoot Exists

I firmly believe that Bigfoot exists and have ever since 1979, at which time I first encountered a trail of Bigfoot tracks leading up a ravine in a small cove off of Huaskin Lake BC- which is located in a remote part of western British Columbia Canada.  Not only did we find foot tracks that day, but also a couple of hand prints in the mud bordering a small watering hole, where it appeared as though Mr. Big had gotten down on his hands and knees to drink from the small pool.  I’ve had the “Bigfoot Bug” ever since, and on that day made a commitment to myself, that one day I would return with determination to locate and meetup face to face with the creature that had left those tracks and hand prints on that beautiful summer day- so many years ago now.  In recent years I have been returning to Vancouver Island and the surrounding area laying the foundation for my eventual return.  The Bigfoot 2017 Expedition is the product of an enduring obsession and the culmination of many years of planning, preparation, research and field work.

Recent Television and Film Distortions of Bigfoot

In truth, very little is actually known for certain about Mr. Big, other than, that he’s generally large, smells extremely bad, has big feet, and on occasion enjoys rocking small camping trailers back and forth just for fun.  In the past 90 years or so, there have been over 3,000 reported sightings of Mr. Big throughout the U.S. and Canada -not including my own sighting which occurred just north of Campbell River, BC back in 2004.

In any event, over the years I’ve grown quite weary, and frankly, a little offended by the Television and Film industry’s blatant commercialization of the Bigfoot phenomena and their distortions of Mr. Big; all in the quest for greater revenues and higher ratings.  I find most of these programs to be dull, unrealistic, and simple minded in that  they fail to do Mr. Big justice, while at the same time belittling the efforts of legitimate Bigfoot Researchers.  In large part I believe these programs to be nothing more than pure unadulterated non-sense.  Some popular and well intended, some not so much so; but generally the same portrayal of a bunch of so called “Bigfoot Experts” who claim to possess exclusive knowledge of Mr. Big’s family life, meal and beverage preferences, along with a whole host of other intimate details about Mr. Big’s daily life- rubbish it is.  In my opinion, the Reality TV industry has done more to undermine and destroy the credibility of legitimate Bigfoot Research more than anything else- all for the sake of monetary gain.

Moreover, in my opinion, I highly doubt that these blokes could find a Bigfoot- let alone a field mouse at a country fair, even on their best day.  Generally, stumbling around the woods like a bunch of Keystone Cops looking for “Mr. Big”, and further, even if they miraculously somehow managed to stumble across a Bigfoot, I contend that they’d be so startled by the encounter that they’d soil themselves.  Most of these folks are nothing more than “B” team junior varsity minor leaguers at best and have no understanding of who and what Bigfoot really is.  Evidence suggests that He’s definitely not some ignorant animal wandering around the woods aimlessly in search of his next peanut butter sandwich or banana. That we know for certain.  Bigfoot is much more than that.  He’s a very conscious, self aware and intelligent creature; certainly  deliberate in His actions, curious, and at times both playful and mischievous -as many reported encounters indicate.

In truth, the fact is that no one actually finds Bigfoot- He finds you.  Either He comes to you or by sheer luck, he goofs up and gets caught out in the open and gets seen.  That’s it!  The primary objective of the Bigfoot 2017 Expedition is to create both such scenarios in three particular locations along the inland coast of northern British Columbia, Canada.

Now, how will the Bigfoot 2017 Expedition be different from so many others that have come before it you ask?  That’s a great question!  Unfortunately though, there is no simple answer. But, I’ll try to hit the high points for you as succinctly as possible.

First, we at Extreme Expeditions Northwest have developed a comprehensive and disciplined plan of operations for the Expedition which includes specific methods and modes of operation developed through many years of experience in the field as well as through both practical and historical research.  The Bigfoot 2017 Expedition is going to be a precision operation.

Second, the Expedition is going be conducting extensive airmobile operations into vast and remote areas of known Bigfoot habitation; both in First Nation’s Lore and real life experience.  In fact, one of three target areas is located where I personally first encountered signs of Bigfoot back in 1979.  Two of the three target areas chosen for the Expedition are very remote and only reasonably accessible by air or conceivably by only the most determined trekker.

Third, in addition to the extensive use of helicopters, the Expedition will also be equipped with the latest in field tactical gear to include but not limited to; night vision and thermal imaging equipment, motion detectors, remote audio-video equipment, satellite communications for both live streaming and real time communication with the Expedition Team during filed ops, and body cameras.  Further, the Expedition will be deploying proprietary luring devices designed specifically to entice Mr. Big into making an appearance.  And no, these luring devices do not consist of such things as peanut butter, bananas, baby back ribs or any of that other nonsense one is prone to see on today’s Bigfoot shows and docudramas.

Fourth, the Expedition is of a serious nature with the intent of locating and securing for the first time ultimate physical evidence of the existence of Bigfoot along with the best in audio visual recordings of Him as well.  Further, I believe that this level of concrete physical evidence is best obtained only by going into specific geographical locations where Mr. Big actually resides -not areas that He may merely pass though on occasion for various reasons.

In conclusion, the Bigfoot 2017 Expedition isn’t going to be your ordinary run of the mill Expedition. It’s going to be an extraordinary real life, high speed and low drag adventure that you won’t want to miss out on.  Believe me when I tell you my friends; we are going where the Wild Things and intend to get up close and personal with Mr. Big on this one.

I sincerely hope that you can join the Bigfoot 2017 Expedition team!

Cheers!
