Awesome now we know what we should have and need on this wild Bigfoot adventure.
You’re probably already thinking about your next major consideration: where you’re going to rest your head after a long day of tracking. But we’ll tackle that in the next section.
Setting up base camp on your adventures
Choosing optimal camping site is crucial when you’re in Bigfoot’s backyard. Your site isn’t just about convenience; it’s about survival. As fun as the trip will be we need to respect the wildlife in the area.
Dangerous Animals are around you at all time remember we are in there backyard searching for Bigfoot. You may encounter Bears, Coyotes, Cougars, , Wolves, Learning about these animals will make the trip safer and more enjoyable.
So lets set up our Tent and sleeping bag, Camping Chairs, Now that we have that all set up, Lets grab that fishing line along with the bells that i told you to pack. Now you maybe wondering what do we need these for?
Well i like to pack these for one reason and that safety. what we are going to do is put the bells on the fishing line and we are going to run that fishing line around the trees of the campsite. making a outer square this will be your first line of defense and will alert us if animal wonders in to the camp.
So from here we want to put up the Trail cam’s on a tree facing the campsite in front of the tent this way if the bells go off we have the trail cam out side and our monitor will be in the tent with us. So we can see what we are dealing with out side before we have to open the tent.
Remember you’re out to observe and find evidence of Bigfoot, so your campsite should leave no trace. So with a shovel there is one in the Survival Kit . Lets dig a fire pit 2 foot by 2 foot that should be a nice size pit to work with. because once we are done at this campsite we can fill the hole back in and leave no trace . Once you are done digging the pit lets go pick some dead fallen wood that is laying around the campsite.This way we are not hurting the environment by killing healthy trees.
Also, let’s not forget about a robust, reliable camp stove. It’s a safer option than an open fire, which can be seen and smelled from miles. very good way to track unwanted animal.
Sustainable camping practices are your responsibility. The goal is to maintain the integrity of the wilderness you’re exploring. That means packing out what you pack in, using biodegradable soaps, and respecting wildlife habitats. You can’t expect to find Bigfoot if your presence disrupts the ecosystem.
So now that we have our site all set up and ready to enjoy lets look at some meals.
Fueling the Hunt: Planning Meals and Packing Nutrition for the Trail
I’m going to emphasize the crucial role food plays in your Bigfoot hunting adventure. Out in the wilderness, you need energy, and that’s exactly what good, nutritious food gives you. This isn’t just about keeping hunger at bay; it’s also about maintaining sharp focus and physical stamina during your expedition.
So lets take a brake and enjoy the wilderness and enjoy some great fishing. With the Fishing Rod and Reel Combo Graphite Carbon Rod Portable Travel Camping Kit . So lets go see what we can catch to eat , fish is a very rich in calcium phosphorus its a great source of minerals.
In my experience, a Bigfoot hunter should prioritize food that packs a lot of energy in small, lightweight packages. Think proteins, good fats, and complex carbs. These will keep your engine running without weighing down your backpack.
You can always adjust your approach down the road, but start with planning meals that are easy to cook and consume. High-energy snacks like nuts and trail mixes are your friends. And don’t forget plenty of water and ways to purify water from natural sources!
Choose something that resonates with you when it comes to meals. If you prefer hot, cooked food, a compact camping stove is a necessity. On the other hand, if you’re fine with cold meals, focus on no-cook foods that provide the necessary nutrition.
There’s a lot of opportunity in pre-planned meal kits specifically designed for outdoor adventures. They cater to various dietary needs and are incredibly convenient, usually requiring just the addition of hot water.
Going On A Bigfoot Hunt And What To Bring
Remember, your first attempt doesn’t need to be your last. Test different meal strategies on shorter trips before the big hunt. That way, you’ll know what to expect and won’t face unwanted surprises.
Just don’t focus too much on perfection. The goal is to sustain your body and mind while you’re tracking the elusive Bigfoot. Your meal planning should support that goal, not complicate it.
So, as you pack your gear and set out into the wild in search of Bigfoot, make sure your nutrition is a priority. A well-fed explorer is an effective explorer. Happy hiking and camping.
BE SAFE AND ENJOY !!!

Keep up the Good work!
Hi S.J
These are great questions. Thank you for the comment i will be happy to help you best i can.
1. What are the best months to go Bigfoot camping in the Alberta Rockies, and why?
Like i have in the blog i find that the summer from late may to the end of augs month is the best and funnest time to enjoy the wilderness. and a bit more forgiving than fall,winter Bigfoot camping.
2. What are the primary factors to consider when choosing a location for a Bigfoot camping trip?
The biggest factor in my opinion to consider is looking at the sighting list/maps that people have reported if you check two websites to see if they have similar sightings reported in the same area. Then that would be a great place to start your Bigfoot research camping trip.
“You can find those links on my website” But i will also provide for you here too. because research is KEY.

3. How can understanding Bigfoot migration patterns and sighting reports enhance your chances of an encounter?
Well my theory is on the migration part on the sighting maps we know that the reporting is higher in the summer months and that just because there are more people adventuring out into the wilderness enjoying the outdoors and stumbling across Bigfoot In these months and when there is not a lot of human activity in these remote parts on the map all the time but there are a few reports in those spots then its a good indication there maybe something there to look for and that will give us a good starting point for a area.
For the sighting reports take your time and read them to hear what the reports are saying a lot of the reports could help you pin point the spots where it has been recorded this will help you narrow down even better and what to look for.
Here is how i came up with this theory
ill use this as an example
Think about this Let’s say we have 3 different people reports from a 20 mile radius in the same area
Two Hikers in June, Felt like they were being watched and heard knock and found footprints they got pictures
A family of Camper in august, Heard loud howls & Knock at night, Had rocks thrown at their tents at their campsite. But found no evidence around them.
Solo Hunter in October heard a loud knock, found footprints made cast , found tall structure and documented them.
So entering the wilderness around the same area but just in different months This will give us the location.Then lets read their reports carefully on the encounter. So read the reports and see what is similar.
So what i’m looking for here in the reports is well !
Were they alone or did they have witnesses with them? Yes there are witnesses
Are they reports similar like sound, and knocks? Yes they all heard sounds
Lastly did they report finding any evidence? Yes two of the reports frond something
so the only thing to see at this point is getting out there on your own search you never know you maybe the one that breaks open the Bigfoot myth.
so there is a full break down on my theory for you i hope it helps you along your journey feel free to follow my stories also feel free to share your encounters when you have one
thanks again
stay safe and enjoy
