Trouble is, it would just give him even MORE publicity from which to launch his preposterous claims and scams!

Best thing may be to just ignore fakes, concentrating instead on equipping and supporting legit researchers and their expeditions, investing in high tech monitoring, recording and communications gear, and publicizing those efforts in serious media (like this Blog), thus creating a respectably scientific basis for public interaction.

Let the fringe elements fall by the wayside, as they surely will.

THIS is what it’s all about out there in the trenches ~ all the planning and preparing and expense and great expectations ~ all the cold, rain, cold, dark, cold, wind, fatigue, cold, hunger, unexpected sounds, dead batteries, non-functioning gear ~ all the waiting and listening and cold and stumbling around in the dark and waiting looking and and waiting and listening ~ all of it!

Read those reports all the way to the bottom, and get an idea of what these teams are encountering and what thoughts they have afterwards ~ very revealing!

In my opinion, only a sophisticated, organized team of experienced researchers, equipped to the teeth with top of the line hi-tech audio and video day and night recording gear, and ready to brave the unknown in the dark, will ever get the unmistakeable evidence we are all hoping for, and these guys are doing it!

Unless, of course, some day-tripping hikers from a local Boy Scout Troop, out for an early morning trek thru a popular County Park, encounter a friendly family of Squatches and come back with hours of videos!

But it ain’t gonna be Biscardi!
