It would came in REAL handy if you happen to break a leg out there. Don’t forget your cell phone (set to vibrate not ring), which could also have a camera and GPS capability.

Indeed, two sets of rain gear might be a good idea. Also an extra large tarp, duct tape, and a winch. I'm just sayin', in case!

Why was the observer where they were at that time, were they or others usually there?

Could help with those long distance photos - to reach out to somewhere you may not be able to physically go. Also a spotting scope might come in handy. Why fruit?

Not so much to defend against Skunkapes, but more for the common animals we have here. The gators, bears, panthers, snakes, and possible rabid animals make this a must. cabochris,

Using digital zoom is a bad, bad thing: it destroys information in the frame. Optical zooms are fine, though, but please, don't keep zooming in and out: find a comfortable medium zoom and keep to it. If the creature is airborne, then make sure to get some reference points in the frame (really, that's more for UFOs, but, hey, some cryptids have wings...) Another tip: carry a tripod or some method to steady the camera: keep the camera on the tripod whenever possible. It's easy to remove a camera FROM a tripod than attaching it to one.

Should we add a weapon to the list? Really, I will not venture into the wild without at least a 45 on hip! Surely law enforcement would be armed? Unfortunately we live in a crazy world today and Bigfoot might be the least of your self defense concerns! I'm thinking more on the lines of the hairless 2 legged variety. And even more so if you are a woman Sasquatch investigator! Unfortunately in our world the lion and lamb are not best buddies! So to think you might never need a weapon while seeking Bigfoot, is somewhat like saying one would never need a seatbelt while in the car. You know what happens- it starts with an "S"! But lets venture even deeper. What if you or your team do such a good job investigating Bigfoot, using police techniques and equipment, that you actually encounter this creature? Hopefully Bigfoot will retreat and hide. But none can say for certain that Bigfoot will not attack you. Think this fantasy? Then I dare you to mingle with and pet bear cubs in the wild! Or swim with a Great White while out of the cage! Or play with the cute little baby Bigfoot you just found, tried to force feed a banana to, while trying to entice him/her into your rig and who is now screaming for Mama, perhaps even Papa! Once when in Africa our group came upon a feeding Black Rhino, just 30 feet away round the bush. Some wanted to get closer and bond with the beast, but our tracker stopped them from letting the rhino know we were in his house, and stated that he (tracker) was older now and could not run as fast as he once could! My point- when entering the home of Bigfoot be prepared. Perhaps someone on your team simply gets too close trying to shake hands and Bigfoot turns nasty. Then what? How would you defend yourself? Defensive weapons might include a very loud marine air horn, can of bear pepper spray, flare or perhaps even a good sized handheld mirror and other trinkets. Last ditch a short pump action fighting shotgun loaded with rifled slugs. That is what some use in Alaska while fishing round bears, just in case! Oh, dare I say it?

Can you show me a web site that states plaster of paris is dangerous? I have also used dental grade alginate. I have been using plaster of paris for several years, since it is a powder it should be used in well ventilated areas. It used to contain asbestos. Is that what you referring to? It is classed as a "Respirable Nuisance" and "HEALTH EFFECTS: Nuisance particulate (HE19)" on the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety & Health Administration. “but less dangerous than plaster of Paris.”
