Baker Lake Bigfoot On the Hunt For Soggy Bottom
Encounters USA returned to Baker Lake on the hunt for Soggy Bottom. Baker Lake has been the center of Bigfoot activity for years.
Amphibious Operations
In this Encounters USA video, we are going to conduct amphibious operations to establish a relationship with any known Sasquatch in the area.
Using our Sea Eagle Paddleski with Torqeedo Electric Motor, our intention is to cross the lake to vacant campgrounds at Paradise Cove.
Graham Crackers and Infrared
Once our beachhead is established we will begin call blasting from the Bigfoot Sounds App.
Once call blasting is finished, Encounters USA will move to the wood line. Once there, we will distribute graham crackers.
We will then observe the area using our FLIR ONE IOS App. Our intention is to test the capability of the FLIR tracking a mammal in heavy vegetation.
Encounters USA Goes High Tech
Following the FLIR Exercises we will use our DJI Gimbal in its various modes to familiarize ourselves, our subscribers and our counterparts with what technology we bring to the table.
As you will see, the best laid plans are sometimes the next best laid plans. With an ever changing environment at the lake, we had to be flexible.
Baker Lake Bigfoot On the Hunt For Soggy Bottom
Encounters USA hopes you will join us for one of the most amazing YouTube videos and blogs you’re ever gonna see.

Bigfoot Tree Updates Are They Really Just Cold Feet & Old Info?
Are you waiting for Bigfoot Tree Updates and are you thinking they’re really just cold feet & old info?
A brief disclaimer about the Bigfoot Tree and the Wallace family.
Since the moment I heard about this story, I have been fascinated by the story of the Lori Simmons Bigfoot Tree.
I have been to the Bigfoot Tree where I conducted an interview with Researcher Brent Dill. We sat with our backs to the tree and listened to the sounds of two trees, grown together.
The trees were making rubbing noises as the wind sifted through its branches.
That was not the end of the story for me. According to Brent Dill, Don Wallace, Lori & Michael’s father had extensive interactions with various Sasquatch in that area.
Everyone Has The Right To Be Heard on Encounters USA
In the world of the paranormal, we are all looking for clues to solve the grandest puzzle of all. Encounters USA believes everyone has the right to be heard, unless they are proven false.
Or they don’t show up for a podcast…
The Bigfoot Tree is just one example of how some people, completely discount evidence because they don’t agree with the presenter.
As we will see the division over the debate still smolders like a campfire made of old hickory and diesel oil.

Indeed, we are going to discover how Jason’s career as a photographer, led him around the world, filming exotic animals with wealthy owners.
Jason’s interest in the paranormal and the legend of Sasquatch, as well as the stories of the First Nations peoples sparked an interest.
From Photograph to Video
A quick glance at aphotowarrior Jason’s YouTube channel will reveal how Jason uses video and color.
His videos feature a number of different animals in crisp colors and high definition that look out of this world.
Paranormal Documentaries
