Funny story. I was channel surfing a few years ago and came across this show called "Finding Sasquatch". I decided to put the remote down and give it a watch. Nothing else on. Ok, it's about these two buddies who are trying to get evidence of Big Foot. So their first plan goes like this. They set up this nice quality ape costume in the middle of the woods. Put a bunch of leaves and twigs around it. Prop it up and set up a speaker that's play some ape mating sounds. They leave it over night and film the whole thing. Well, nothing happens. Big Foot does not show up. Ok, failed experiment. Here's the next idea. They get their hands on a drone. Now, keep in mind this was a few years ago when drones where still new. Basically the only way you'd have a drone is if you could afford it and they were expensive. You couldn't just walk down to Target and pick up some drown for 100 bucks. So, the production company obviously has some money to throw at this TV show. Ok, they set up a drown with an infrared camera and fly it over the forest. They are watching from their van parked a few miles away. Again, for the time it looked pretty neat. Now a days you can do that just about anywhere. So, they catch all these different animals on the camera, deer, birds, etc. No Big foot. So another failed experiment. The show wraps up. The host talk about how they are disappointed that they couldn't find him but they are not giving up hope. Now here's the part that really tickles me. One of the guys says he KNOWS big foot is out there. And he recalls this time he was out in the forest shooting one of these shows and he wonder down away from their camp to use the bathroom. That's when he looks up and boom there he is. Big Foot. 20 feet away. And the dudes been chasing that ever since. Now, I'm sitting here thinking to myself. "Wait a minute. You have all these fancy equipment. infrared cameras, drones, highly made expensive ape costumes... and the one time you actually SEE Big Foot ..the one moment you've been waiting for your whole life... here he is.. 20 feet away.. you don't have a camera on you? Not even a cell phone camera? Nothing that can record this, take a picture or something!!" It was just so funny and ridiculous.
