We need a skeptic to volunteer to work with our team and see Bigfoot for themselves. Ideally, we would like to have someone from one of the major neworks like CNN or the BBC to be our skeptical journalist. You don’t need money or funding; in fact we would have to insist on supplying everything from your clothing to your supplies.
It doesn't get more real than this: our chosen participant will be surviving a long and arduous expedition into the depths of the Rocky Mountains. Are you in shape enough to jog and hike in extreme altitudes? Once we leave there will be no turning back. And these animals are real. Gigantopithecus males are almost 3 meters tall and weigh in excess of 400kgs. We know almost nothing else about them. If we are in the wrong place at the wrong time, your life my very well be at risk. Can you imagine what it would be like to get charged by a gorilla like Dianne Fossy experienced? Well imagine an animal over twice the size of a gorilla and likely twice as strong.
You need to be someone that can handle the most extreme of external elements. This includes rock climbing, crossing white water rapids, keeping your head when and if we have a grizzly bear charge us, disciplined to the point of spending hours rubbing yourself down with desensitizing fluids.
Anyone taking you on an expedition like this that would guarantee your safety would be a liar. Therefore I will tell you outright: If you come on this expedition you are MOST CERTAINLY risking you life. Before I take any new team members on expedition, I will show them what happened to the last people that did not heed my warnings.
This is the wisdom of a First Nations elder that has been instructing me on the ways of wilderness survival:
If you are not strong you will die.
If you get sick you will die.
If you get injured you will die.
If you do not have wisdom you will die.
If you do not abide by the rules of our people without question, you will die.
And if you are strong, wise, never get injured or sick, and abide by the rules of our people without question you still may die.
In the North American wilderness, bears, mountain lions and wolves kill to survive everyday. Many of their victims are people that cross into their homes. Virtually no one ever goes into the woods as deep as we are going. And these predators, as dangerous as they are, are the least of our worries.
