In this episode, we delve into the remarkable experiences of Danny, a retired military veteran who spent years exploring the rugged backcountry surrounding Carson, Washington, deep within the forests of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Drawn to the wilderness for hiking, fishing, and searching for historic mining sites, Danny recounts a trip in the summer of 2004 that led to events he never expected to witness.<br /><br /><br />While navigating remote logging roads and creeks in the mountains of Skamania County, Danny describes strange activity that unfolded over the course of a single trip into the forest. A quiet night in camp turned unsettling after something large made its presence known in the darkness. The following day brought another discovery along an abandoned road that suggested something massive had recently passed through the area.<br /><br /><br />Later that afternoon, deep along a secluded forest road, Danny found himself standing only a short distance away from something he initially believed was part of the landscape itself. As the moment unfolded, he realized he was looking at something entirely different.<br /><br /><br />Danny shares the details of that encounter, the environment where it happened, and what stood out most about the creature he observed. <br /><br /><br />Join us as we explore Danny’s experience in the remote wilderness of Washington and the moment that left a lasting impression on how he views the forests of the Pacific Northwest.<br /><br /><br />🗣️ <b>Share Your Story</b><br /><br />Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?<br />Send it to [email protected] – your story might be featured on the show!<br /><br />🎥 <b>Watch &amp; Subscribe on YouTube</b><br /><br />🔴 Subscribe here → <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@BigfootSociety?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bigfoot Society YouTube</a><br />💬 Leave a comment &amp; let us know your thoughts!<br />📞 Leave a voicemail with your story → <a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/bigfootsociety" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Speakpipe</a> (Use multiple voicemails if needed)<br />👥 Share this episode → <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5v75Od-X38" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Watch &amp; Share</a><br />🎧 More episodes → <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3t1vwtsKh-MGeHs0XglFJE5LwUHpmJm_&amp;feature=shared" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Podcast Playlist</a><br />🌲 Recommended: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3t1vwtsKh-Mk4032IyZtWgP6LVPU8uat" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters</a><br /><br />💥 <b>Support the Show &amp; Get Perks</b><br /><br />✅ Join the community on <b>Supercast</b> – <a href="https://bigfootsociety.supercast.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Become a Member</a><br />✅ Listen ad-free &amp; early on <b>YouTube</b> – <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8Qq45W6iaTU8FE9kelxT7Q/join" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Join Here</a><br /><br /><b>📱 Let’s Connect</b><br /><ul><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bigfootsociety/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@bigfootsociety</a></li><li>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/bigfoot_society" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@bigfoot_society</a></li><li>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@bigfoot.society" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@bigfoot.society</a></li></ul>🧰 <b>Tools &amp; Partners I Use (Affiliate Links)</b><br />These help support the show at no extra cost to you:<br /><ul><li><b>Beam (Better Sleep):</b> <a href="https://share.shopbeam.com/hnpc4ype" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Try Beam</a></li><li><b>Wildgrain (Better Bread):</b> <a href="https://wildgrain.com/a/refer-a-friend/redeem/6ogi3frocb2zwtbx8gx8lksvnpgb6tnxbhqlhfk2/8487" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Join Here</a></li><li><b>Seed (Probiotics):</b> <a href="https://refer.seed.com/x/JQ3nHF" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Get Seed</a></li><li><b>Medi-Share (Healthcare):</b> <a href="https://bit.ly/4iHULko" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Learn More</a></li><li><b>LMNT (Electrolytes)</b> Free Sample Pack with your first purchase! : <a href="http://elementallabs.refr.cc/default/u/byronstephanie" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Get LMNT</a></li><li><b>Organic and non-GMO groceries delivered for less</b><br /><a href="http://thrv.me/uarEhS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://thrv.me/uarEhS</a></li></ul>🎙️ Podcasting Tools:<br /><ul><li><b>Repurpose.io:</b> <a href="https://repurpose.io/?fpr=28951" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Try It</a></li><li><b>Descript: </b><a href="https://get.descript.com/r3bclm1qi6r3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sign Up</a></li><li><b>Streamyard:</b> <a href="https://streamyard.com/?fpr=bigfootsociety" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Start Recording</a></li><li><b>Riverside.fm:</b> <a href="https://www.riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_5&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_source=rewardful&amp;via=bigfootsociety" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Try Riverside</a></li></ul>🎧 My Audio Interface: <a href="https://amzn.to/3L1q8XY" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">View on Amazon</a><br /><br />☕ <b>Buy Me a Coffee</b> – <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/bigfootsociety" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Support Here</a><br />🛍️ <b>Grab Some Merch</b> – <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/bigfootsociety/?etsrc=sdt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shop on Etsy</a><br /><br />📬 <b>Mailing Address:</b><br /><br />Bigfoot Society<br />125 E 1st St. #233<br />Earlham, IA 50072
