Typical bigfoot photo. He didn't zoom in enough to make it obvious that it's a suit.

It's a suit made by Chris Walas. He gave me several frames of it. I'll post them later when I am home.

kitakaze · 27th July 2017, 04:56 AM

I have many frames of that suit Chris made. These are two of the clearest...

It was not made as any manner of hoax attempt. It was made from scraps of other suits for a Bigfootery mockumentary he was working on last year. He's had some health issues that have been impeding him the last few years so he's taking things slow.

OK so we all know the BFRO is housed at BFRO.net

I was wondering what would happen if we typed in BFRO.com

FUNNY RESULT!
Its a kooked-out hyper religious website.
Almost like a landing page for an even kookier site called lifeisatest.com

Quote:

PROOF THE BIBLE IS TRUE The WORLD′S BIGGEST SKEPTIC regarding the Bible.
Then, he went to Israel and saw the evidence of Biblical places and prophecies. He proved the Bible is true. BE SURE TO BOOKMARK THIS SITE. In good times and bad—read your Bible daily.
There are app 10,385 Bible prophecies. NONE have ever been wrong. Three Bible prophecies of these days are— violence, and public unrest, and diseases shall increase.
Life's #1 decision: Will “YOU” repent and trust in Jesus, plus read and obey the Bible? Or will you choose eternal damnation by doing nothing? After repenting, be baptized by full immersion.
God′s Word reveals “What Lies Ahead” with 100% accuracy. Sadly, when most die, they do not go to a better place

I'm just wondering if the ad geniuses glommed onto the Bigfoot thing by grabbing up BFRO.com before Moneymaker could grab it.

I saw an article that as of March 2019, Moneymakin was worth 3.2 million dollars. The last name Moneymaker is so spot on it's scary. I would post that link but something about a 15 post rule here before I can add those. This PT Barnum type has conned his way into riches. Hard for me to think he actually believes in bigfoot since it's highly likely he has faked aspects of encounters to keep his tour believers happy and the revenue stream going for all these years with NOTHING to show for it except maybe some coyote howls.

I would suggest he made the most of his money by being a reality TV star in the TV show Finding Bigfoot on Animal Planet.
The last I heard the average minimum for a recurring cast member on a reality type show like this was about $3,500 per episode. Popular characters in higher rated shows get up to $35,000 per episode and Finding Bigfoot was the highest rated show on Animal Planet and they did 100 shows.

And the actors should just be glad they did not find one (particularly early on in the series) since the whole gig would be over. Right now they are good for an other hundrend or more.

I watched a bunch of episodes when I was in the UK with increasing amusement.

The title of the show ought to have had a 'Not' at the start!

I love how none of the TV Bigfoot shows stay in the same location for the entire season. I worked a modest chunk of real estate for 3 years hoping to photograph a Mountain Lion. In that time I found tracks, scat, and evidence of predation almost every time I went into the park.

I never saw the cats once.

But, had I used trail cams, and arranged to stay in the park after sundown my chances would have improved.

These days a week hardly passes without photos and or video of a Mountain Lion caught on private motion-activated security cams, and even doorbell cameras. The county has had to re-write the book on just how common the cats are in this area,

...And yet the same cannot be said for Bigfoot. Why?

And as far as expeditions searching for the large, hairy fellow are concerned, why has no one set up a permanent base at Port Chatham, Alaska?:

https://alaskamagazine.com/authentic...the-mountains/

Here is a place with a few existing structures, and is accessible by air and water in the non-winter months. Sounds like shooting fish in barrel, an easy Nobel Prize, and a ticket to paid lecture-easy street. But no.

If I want to find a gorilla I go to Africa, and then to those places where they live. If I want to find a tiger I go to Asia. The same is true for King Cobras, Koalas, Jaguars (the cat, not car), and any other region-specific creature. Look at how long it took to film Architeuthis in the wild. That team didn't just bop around the globe hoping to get lucky, they did their homework, and searched an area which had the best probability of success. Even then it took a while.

Bigfoot might be hard to find but no creature on earth has been this lucky.
