Extreme Expeditions Bigfoot Encounters in the Pacific Northwest

Extreme Expeditions On Vimeo Bigfoot Encounters in the Pacific Northwest
Extreme Expeditions On Vimeo Bigfoot Encounters in the Pacific Northwest

The newly released Vimeo documentary, Bigfoot Encounters in the Pacific Northwest by Extreme Expeditions LLC out of Spokane Washington is breath of fresh air when it comes to Bigfoot documentaries.

Encounters USA has had the opportunity over the past two weeks to take a closer look at the material Stephen T. Major of Extreme Expeditions LLC has been producing and they seem to look pretty good.

Extreme Expeditions Bigfoot Encounters in the Pacific Northwest
Extreme Expeditions Bigfoot Encounters in the Pacific Northwest

Let me first confess ignorance to what Stephen was doing with his Extreme Expeditions Northwest LLC, a company which is dedicated to producing irrefutable proof of the Sasquatch species.

Second, let me also confess that I have no financial interest in what Stephen T. Major is doing with Extreme Expeditions and I am not profiting in any way from this post.

With the exception that you are reading this blog and review and hopefully learning something new, of course.

Lastly, let me confess that were I to be asked to accompany Stephen T. Major on any of his Extreme Expeditions, I would have my things packed before I hung up the phone. I think Stephen and his band of merry men and women have it going on.

If a little a– kissing can get me on an Extreme Expeditions project, I’ve got a whole thing of chapstick.

So this is not just a review of Bigfoot Encounters in the Pacific Northwest.

It’s a review of a group of researchers and their approach to hunting Bigfoot. It’s an approach that I happen to agree with, for the most part.

Burning Bigfoot Bridges

Let’s get some things out of the way first. I don’t agree with everything Stephen does and this one area I think he could work to improve.

The fact is, you cannot watch much of Stephen T. Major’s Bigfoot Hunting material online without hearing a summary of why Extreme Expeditions is different than your usual Bigfoot media productions.

In fact, in the words of Stephen T. Major, his objective in finding conclusive evidence of Bigfoot is to put the Bigfoot TV shows out of business.

“They’re always close to finding Bigfoot but they never find Bigfoot…”

Of course, there are few loftier or nobler goals than putting the Bigfoot TV productions on the public dole.

However, I would almost argue the people who are keeping the public spotlight on the hunt for Bigfoot are doing a great service.

Unlike Stephen Major, I think the Bigfoot shows are doing an even bigger service by not trying to find Bigfoot, rather they are searching out that corporate sponsorship worth millions.

That keeps you watching and buying and them advertising while making mucho dinero.

You won’t see Encounters USA blatantly merchandising and commercializing the hunt for the Paranormal

Cascade Bigfoot

Before we jump off into our review, a little about Bigfoot in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State, Canada and Idaho.

This region is some of the most inaccessible wilderness in the world.

Rugged majestic mountains, triple canopy vegetation and forests that extend hundreds of miles. Like much of Washington State, it’s a jungle with big mountains.

Since starting Encounters USA, I have made dozens investigations in a number of areas from the Snoqualmie Valley to Baker Lake, just south of the dormant Mt. Baker volcano.

I’m still working on more sightings and Encounters, west of the Cascades. Colville is east of the Cascade chain that separates Eastern and Western Washington.

The Bigfoot Highway

Just imagine the northern third of Washington State as an inaccessible No Man’s Land split in half by massive mountain peaks.

In my experiences, the road called Washington Highway 20 is really the Bigfoot Highway. That Highway extends all the way to Colville in Stevens County in the eastern Cascades. What’s so important about Colville?

Bue Who Is On The Expedition Team?

You know who. It’s Amy Bue. I have seen two Extreme Expeditions. I saw In Search of the Port Chatham Hairy man and this one. In each documentary, Stephen Major had an accompanying biologist.

Extreme Expeditions On Vimeo Bigfoot Encounters in the Pacific Northwest
Amy Bue is one of our favorites on Encounters USA

Bigfoot Encounters in the Pacific Northwest featured Amy Bue, an investigator from Ohio. Amy is a teacher who works with a number of zoology and animal awareness groups.

She’s also a member of the Olympic Project. The Olympic Mountains in Washington State where I grew up have their own unique Sasquatch stories.

Amy brought an open mind and was not there to serve as the on site skeptic. She gave honest appraisals of what she saw.

Beans Baxter

Beans Baxter, who some will recall from the Port Chatham Hairy Man movie. Others from my interview about his book Abandoned: The Horror and History of Port Chatham, Alaska is also featured prominently in the documentary.

Will Ulmer’s Research

The basis for the location was local resident Will Ulmer. Ulmer related a number of experiences he has had in the area and they are somewhat disturbing. A creature approached his tent one night and tried to smash it down from the top.

A good portion of the movie centers around Will Ulmer’s ability to track and identify potential Sasquatch trails. They produced at least one plaster of a narrow 13″ footprint.

During the investigation a number of bear tracks were seen, which contrasted with what Will Ulmer seemed to be identifying as Sasquatch.

Refutable Evidence

As much as the investigation started with all the confidence of finding the evidence they were looking for, what they did find was dubious at best. Anyone could have argued about the footprints or torn bark on a tree.

There are other explanations for so-called structures made out of dead trees with or without roots.

All of this evidence is easily refutable as something other than what the Extreme Expeditions team accepted it as.

What cannot be refuted is that they were all there, in the same location, along with something else.

Irrefutable Evidence

Anyone viewing the documentary is going to see something amazing. Everyone who watches Bigfoot Encounters in the Pacific Northwest is going to come away with their own ideas about what happened on the Expedition and what evidence was discovered.

I believe in Bigfoot Encounters in the Pacific Northwest, we found evidence Bigfoot likes a good prank or two, too.

After watching the movie, I came away with an appreciation for the Sasquatch community outside of Colville, Washington.

Here’s why:

  • Imagine that an individual Sasquatch has the intelligence of a primate, homo sapiens, or above.
  • The Sasquatch clan knew Extreme Expeditions was there.
  • It would have taken little time to determine they were not hunters.
  • The Sasquatch would have known they were hunting for something.
  • It wouldn’t take a lot of intelligence for the Sasquatch to realize Extreme Expeditions were hunting for them.
  • For the Sasquatch clan, it was game on.

By the end of the movie it is obvious who won that round.

Score: Bigfoot 21 Extreme Expeditions 3

To conclude this review of Extreme Expedition’s 2019 Colville and Stevens County extravaganza, I would like to quote someone somewhere in the movie. I believe Stephen said something like, “We added more evidence to our understanding of Bigfoot.”

I believe in Bigfoot Encounters in the Pacific Northwest, we found evidence Bigfoot likes a good prank or two, too.

In Heinessight

Nevertheless, with the benefit of Heinessight, I think I saw a few areas in the documentary that need further investigation. I hope the next time Stephen T. Major fires up the Extreme Expeditions mobile, the Encounters USA ‘Yoda is right behind.

Lastly, I could not do this review of the movie without acknowledging the amazing video work and drone footage of Martin Media. The excellent drone, video and camera shots of the forests, lakes and other scenery alone make the movie worth watching.

Nice work Extreme Expeditions. We all can’t wait to see what you come up with next.

If you’re out in the woods with Stephen T. Major

Always,

Watch Your Back!

Bigfoot Hunting 2021 – Important Tips & Technology With Yahne & Strauss

2021 Bigfoot Hunting - Important Tips & Technology With Yahne & Strauss
2021 Bigfoot Hunting – Important Tips & Technology With Yahne & Strauss

Today on Encounters USA we discussed 2021 Bigfoot Hunting – Important Tips & Technology With Yahne & Strauss. Craig Yahne is a professional videographer and Lee Strauss is a paranormal researcher with more electronics than some small countries.

2021 Bigfoot Hunting – Important Tips & Technology With Yahne & Strauss
One of the many amazing tools we can use in the field is this Moza Smartphone Stabilizer. I want one!

Between them they are going to use their superior technology for what Craig Yahne calls, “The Money Shot.”

During the podcast, Craig Yahne expressed his desire to take a photo that would conclusively prove the existence of Bigfoot. He wants to show that photo to a popular figure in the field of Bigfoot research. Can you guess who that might be?

Podcast/Merchandise Updates

Tomorrow, I’ll be interviewing Bigfoot William “Bill” Bisson & Researcher Amy Bue about the upcoming Bigfoot festival June 19- 20, 2021. The podcast will be uploaded Wednesday evening.

I’ll be interviewing Michael Wallace and Brent Dill about the Lori Simmons Bigfoot Tree sometime in March.

I’ll also be making an important announcement on the podcast about the Rich Germeau Lake Cushman Bigfoot sightings.

The All New Encounters USA Signature Line is Here for 2021!

Finally, our new line of Encounters 2021 Signature Wear is out and I must say in all modesty, it looks great and it looks even better on you.

What happened to the UFO iTeam?

Of course, there were a lot of things we needed to discuss. It has been exactly one year since Lee and I joined Michael Hall in Ocean Shores. One year ago in March was the first annual Paranormal Academy Awards.

It was a wonderful event and I was able to interview some of the leaders in the field of paranormal research.

It was also the last time either I, Lee or Craig would work with the UFO iTeam. Listen to the podcast to find out what happened.

What is Ander and Lee on the Trail?

Ander & Lee On the Trail

Since the Beatle-like break up of the UFO iTeam we wanted to find out if Lee was going to continue his paranormal research.

We also want to know what UFO portals Lee Strauss claims to have uncovered.

You will hear that incredible story when you listen to the podcast.

Much like Lee Strauss, Craig Yahne is about as interesting as they come. Before you listen to the podcast or watch on YouTube, see if you can pass the following Craig Yahne Quiz:

  1. Did Craig Yahne work as a cameraman for the Seattle Seahawks?
  2. Was Craig Yahne employed at the University of Washington?
  3. Is Craig Yahne one of the top rated tennis coaches in the US?
  4. Is Craig Yahne a top-rated Bigfoot researcher?
  5. Does Craig Yahne host Squatch Fest?

Sasquatch Valley

Craig’s area of research is a secret location known as Sasquatch Valley. With a name like Sasquatch Valley, we must wonder how long it will remain secret. However, the valley is one center of Craig Yahne’s research.

The other center is the impressive array of technology and equipment he and Lee Strauss bring to the their investigations.

2021 Bigfoot Hunting – Important Tips & Technology With Yahne & Strauss

After getting to know the ins and outs of Craig Yahne’s experiences and expertise it was to get what we really wanted; updates on equipment and technology in the search for the Dogman, UFOs and Bigfoot.

Naturally, no Bigfoot hunter worth his deer scent is going to go out without the best trail camera. During the podcast who recommends this trail camera? What has he captured?

2021 Bigfoot Hunting – Important Tips & Technology With Yahne & Strauss
Bushnell 30MP CORE Trail Camera, Dual Sensor, no Glow_119977C

One novel approach to their research is going to be the use of the forest canopy and devices like the Summit Tree Stand. Listen to the podcast to find out my ideal use for the Summit Tree Stand.

As we all know, if Bigfoot won’t come to you, you are gonna have to go to Bigfoot. Craig Yahne has that area covered as well with his new DJI Mavic 2 PRO Drone Quadcopter

DJI Mavic 2 PRO Drone Quadcopter 

So, what if you happen to see Bigfoot while you are driving to the research area? Lee Strauss had the answer for that with this Dual Dash cam Front and Rear dash camera.

Dual Dash cam | VAVA Dual 1920x1080P FHD | Front and Rear dash camera

Both Lee and Craig Agree the best evidence is going to come from a video or a photograph .During the podcast Matthew Heines quotes another famous Matthew who says the evidence of Bigfoot, if it’s gonna come, will most likely come from a drone.

Can you guess who that famous Bigfoot researcher was?

Drones and FLIR Technology

But more than likely, it will be a drone armed with FLIR or forward looking radar that will be the first to successfully seek out Bigfoot, aliens or Dogman in the undergrowth where the may conceal themselves.

There are a few issues with FLIR technology. The first and most obvious being the expense of the FLIR added to the expense of the drone and the attachment that makes it all possible.

DJI Mavic Pro Gimbal Camera Assembly Authentic DJI Spare Part

DJI Mavic Pro Gimbal Camera Assembly 

In order to attach your FLIR you are going to have to shell out close to $300 just to attach it. I would wonder if duct tape wouldn’t accomplish the same purpose.

FLIR Vue Pro

And so, I left out the price of this FLIR. If you want to see the price you will have to watch video, listen to the podcast or click this link.

Great Tips Great Quips

Along with the amazing insights offered by Lee and Craig regarding the best equipment to use when hunting for the paranormal, we also learned much more.

2021 Bigfoot Hunting – Important Tips & Technology With Yahne & Strauss
SIONYX Aurora

As you listen to the podcast or watch on YouTube will hear countless great tips from both Lee and Craig on how to use this equipment in the search for the paranormal.

As you were listening, Lee Strauss mentioned this Sionyx Camera. What is it? What does it do? How could it help you in your search for aliens Bigfoot or Dogman? Do you use any of this equipment? Do you have any more tips or tricks? Please leave them in the comments below.

It was a great podcast and it was a great honor to have a conversation with these two experts in the field. I hope you will take advantage of their knowledge.

Until next time,

Watch your back!
