I grew up in rural Alberta and we actually have some bigfoot stories here n there. On night my dad and some friends were listening to Coast to Coast AM and were mostly getting drunk and had it on for background noise. They started listening because they had a bigfoot expert playing audio of bigfoot noises. They cranked up the volume and were just sorta critiquing/making fun of the sounds. After They listened for a bit something in the woods started answering the noises on the radio, and it sounded pretty similar. They turned off the radio and went inside to finish their drinks. Bigfoot is a funny thing because its been so sensationalized that almost everyone can agree that they're silly. But when your in the woods at night; man do these stories hit differently!

Nice story :) I really really want to believe the Bigfoot is out there. I mean the US+Canada is BIG so its not impossible that an ape creature could be thriving out there, but I do think it's all just a myth passed down over the millenia by the native Americans of some ice age creature or even earlier that's long since gone extinct... Maybe not. Could be wrong. But I did have the realization while visiting Loch Ness last year that IF Nessie(or Bigfoot) exists then we'd have photo and video proof by now being that EVERYONE and their grandma has a cell phone today...

Remember that anyone who actually proved a species of large unknown primate was living all across the North American continent would become fabulously wealthy. Literally the money from just the money from just the podcast interviews would have your descendants set up forever as aristocrats. Yet no one has done it. This nation full of guns and hunters has zero examples of a person drilling a bigfoot through the head with a .30-06, tying the body to their truck, and bringing it to a public space or department of conservation for analysis. Just think of how many people literally commit murder and other heinous crimes for money, but nobody has been able to find and kill a large hairy creature that is claimed to live in almost every state and Canadian province. Bigfoot isn't real. Americans would have killed it by now and proudly displayed the head above a fireplace.

​@@AlbertaGeek that's pretty typical for traditional log cabins, no tree is perfectly straight, so when you stack logs, there will be gaps. If you were making a more permanent structure, you'd fill in the gaps with something like mud or mortar, but this is a fairly time-consuming process, not to mention you'd need a lot of water. If you are just making a temporary shelter that is stronger/more spacious than a tent, this is exactly what you'd use. It will keep out the rain/snow, and block most of the wind.

Big hairy man is a surprisingly popular motif for mythological creatures i guess half beast half man does sound interesting

Stories of wild hairy giants that live in the mountains and forests commonly feature in the folklore of many American Indian Nations across the entire Continent, some believing them to be nothing more than stock characters for telling stories to a belief that they are spirits or flesh-and-blood people, somewhere between the world of man and the world of animals, who could either be friendly and helpful or mischievous and dangerous. Very common was a belief that they would steal not only food, but people as well. The Cherokee, for example, would leave them gifts and tribute at the edge of what was considered their territory, as a gesture of respect and in hopes the giants would either leave them be or help them in times of need. But woe betide anyone who trespasses into their lands or hunts their game.

pretty much every culture has some tale of a hairy wildman who is either a malevolent force or completely indifferent to humans. Perhaps it's our inherent fear of the unknown and the thought of not being the dominant force in the forest that drive these myths.

Could it even do a killing blow to big foot. Like what attack power does this thing have. Is it simular to a shark or just have a decent mouth to eat small fish with. Need more data plus 1v1 would be kinda nerfing big foot cause they are social creatures ( in some stories) and team strategy would eventually kill loch ness
