August 8 - 11 (Thursday
- Sunday)
BFRO organizers bring participants to areas where
they will have encounters with Bigfoots at night. The odds of
success depend on their selection of locations, among other
things. Selecting the best locations depends upon
sighting/encounter information -- the more, the better -- so the
BFRO selects organizers who have the most information in a given
state, and who have experience organizing trips there.
BFRO investigators Scott Walter and Chad Kidder will be leading the expedition.
They are among the most active people in the BFRO, checking out many areas
in the state. Their data collection and maps are impressive.
________________________________________________
The
BFRO now encourages all attendees to have three types of optical devices
that are very helpful on trips like these
1) Small daylight
video camera with 50x *optical* zoom -- basically a small telescope
that records video. ($400)
2) Small
thermal camera
with 4x zoom for use at night. (BFRO brand = $1000)
3) Small
daylight
drone with excellent zoom camera. (DJI Air 3 = $1,550).
Among these three items, the one you will find most helpful in a bigfoot
area is a thermal camera. Without this type of device it is unlikely that
you will spot and record any animals in the dark.
The BFRO sells
high-resolution (384 lines) thermal cameras for much lower than retail
price, because we want as many people as possible to afford them. See BFRO
homepage for more info about those cameras. Click on thermal image of the
guy with a dog. You will not regret owning one of those devices. A good
thermal video camera is MUCH more useful for squatching than the best
nightvision video camera
