2 Oregon men die from exposure in a forest after they went out to look for Sasquatch

I'm proud of you boys! I have an award for you...

thinning the herd...

Humiliating way to go. They will be a punchline forever.

Let me guess who they voted for…

It’s much safer to let Leonard Nimoy do the searching.

Exposure plus broken backs multiple missing limbs and huge bite marks

[quote] and the men’s lack of preparedness

Unsurprising

Yeah maybe they found Sasquatch.

No, maybe Sasquatch found them.

The eggnog was not spiked, I tell you. It' s my own secret recipe!

or did bigfoot kill them and make it look like they died from exposure?

Bigfeet!

2 less Trumper’s-Good.

What does the Trumper possess?

Fewer!

I guess Sasquatch didn’t want anything to do with them

How? This is Oregon not Minnesota

Don't worry!

Oregon, the Appalachia of the Pacific.

Down can be your friend.

R17 they died in Washington near Mount St. Helens, but that's irrelevant. Parts of the Pacific Northwest do indeed get very cold, especially in higher altitudes. The area they were in had freezing temperatures with snow and ice. If you went trekking through the woods ill-prepared (which it sounds like was the case) and got lost, you could very quickly be in dire straits.

This is persuasive evidence of its existence.

Were they carrying Yeti tumblers?

It’s stories like this that make me realize I’m not quite as dumb as I thought I was.

Any photos of them?

I'm sorry they died and I'm sorry for their families but they were dumbasses. Like Timothy Treadwell dumbasses.

A person can die of exposure if it's 40 degrees and raining, r17. These two men didn't respect the wilderness and they paid for it.

What does that mean? Sorry my first language not English. Did they expose themselves to each other and died of laughter due to their Canadian foreskins?

Fuck around and find out.

I live in a heavily forested region.

I rarely venture into the woods.

The last time I did, it was daylight. I was with my ex-husband. We had a clear, wide, foot and car path back to the rural highway where our car was parked.

Still, I was uneasy every second.

Even a few feet from the highway, it was immediately obvious from looking at the surrounding trees and experiencing slight disorientation, how easy it would be to lose your way, even very close to the highway.

I'm not defending these guys. Clearly, anybody who seriously entertains the notion of looking for Sasquatch, well, the random neurons overwhelmed common sense.

The forest let them know who is Boss.

I onsch shot I shaw Shashquatch in Shnohomisshh. But it was jusht Don DeLuish in a local producshun of Catsh.

R30

Della, I saw Nosferatu last night and there is one early scene where the Nicholas Hoult character is walking down an almost pitch-black forest lane and it is one of the most suffocating scenes I’ve seen in a movie - very effective.

Kind off off topic but has anyone ever heard the "urban" legend that bands of feral humans live deep in our national parks and that's why so many people go missing? Not believing it but I can it is a creepy theory. I saw a horrifying TV anthology series and that was one of its stories.

You know they got a YouTube channel somewhere

Yup, NoPalmOil, r32.

True story. The relative who was a host and part of the tour told me this.

A group of visitors from New Mexico came here to my region. If you've been to beautiful NM, you know the beautiful expanse of its vertical and horizontal scope of view, along with mountains.

Anyway, she said that they had to cut short a bus tour through our roads. Around and over some of them, the forest is so thick, they create a tunnel.

Some of the New Mexico tourists were so uneasy and unaccustomed to the road tunnels they asked him to go back.

I totally get that, if you're used to wide open outdoors.

Now, I want to see Nosferatu at the theatre. It's been on my maybe list.

R30, I thought your story was leading to you stating that you saw evidence of Sasquatch. I’m disappointed.

Looking for Bigfoot is an amusing conclusion but I'm certain it will be just another "alcohol related death". Christmas Eve can be a nightmare if you're with the wrong people. I can easily imagine a couple of guys using any excuse to escape and then getting into trouble in a park. "Where are you going?", "To look for bigfoot (bitch!)"

Well... did they find him?

Please don’t call the cryptid “Bigfoot.” He’s sensitive.

Meanwhile Big foot was at home by the fire watching this on the news.

Me thinks the elder gay daddy had other intentions.

I wonder if they found him before they froze.

What a horrible way to go.

Why are straight me so stupid?

I could understand risking it all to look for DW Cooper. But Big Foot?

I'm not saying....

Did they try building a nest at the bottom of a tree with leaves and branches and keep each other warm?

You don't mess with those backcountry Oregon woods in the winter!

The Donner party would have gotten out of those woods.

So would Buck, r48!

R35 - Della I’ve personally had the opposite experience. I’m from the northeast, and a city guy, but I’m used to driving through the wooded hills of this part of the country.

I was visiting Utah in the summer, in the car with friends driving up to Park City and started to feel incredibly uneasy - which is unusual for me. It took a bit to realize it was the wide open vistas where you could see for miles that was doing it to me - I instinctually felt exposed and vulnerable.

Buck never would have been in the woods without proper preparation.

Wow, that's incredible, r50. Thanks for posting that.

I never would have thought of it the other way around and how that too could be unsettling.

Didn't a retired actor who used to appear on Seinfeld disappear into the woods in Oregon? He'd recently moved there. He was out driving, took a wrong turn on a dirt road and disappeared into a forest. He and his dog were discovered in the car a few weeks later.

[quote] He and his dog were discovered in the car a few weeks later.

Dead or alive?

Alive. They were enjoying high tea served with a Nicolas Fairford tea set they'd tucked away in the picnic hamper.

They could have kept warm with a good close body to body contact and rapid movement exercise.

Charles Levin. The details are crazy. He drove his Fiat *four* miles into the woods, an area that searchers had to drive ATVs and hike through.

Sorry, I forgot the link.

Looking for Sasquatch? Jack and Ennis called it "going fishing".

Charles Levin didn't die because he was lost a couple miles into a forest, ON A ROAD. He died because, exiting his car, he fell into a ravine.

But isn't that what Sasquatch does... freeze his victims to death?

^ That's Mr. Freeze to you.

I'm told Bigfooto prefers Mt. Adams to Mt. St. Helens, or the trashy Mt. Hood

Is “Bigfooto” Sasquatch’s Italian cousin?

THEY WERE FOUND IN WASHINGTON!

[quote] Is “Bigfooto” Sasquatch’s Italian cousin?

He’s Yeti adjacent.

R64, yes. He's prone to being a mama's boy, eating lotsa pasta, and violent tempers!

Might have been a blobfish. They sneak right up on you.
