Ep 5. Bigfoot Basecamp

Finding Bigfoot is a popular TV show that follows four Bigfoot enthusiasts as they trek through forests and investigate reported sightings of the elusive creature. In episode 5 of season 7, titled Bigfoot Basecamp, the team sets up camp in a remote area of the Colorado Rockies that has been the site of many Bigfoot sightings over the years.

The episode begins with the team setting up their tents and equipment amidst the beautiful scenery of the Rockies. They explain that they chose this location because it is an area where Bigfoot sightings have been reported for decades. The team also notes that this area has a large amount of elk, which is one of Bigfoot's favorite foods.

Once the camp is set up, the team sets out on a hike to explore the surrounding woods. The group consists of Matt, an experienced Bigfoot tracker, Cliff, a biologist, Ranae, a skeptical scientist, and Bobo, a Bigfoot researcher who has been working on this show since its inception.

As they walk through the forest, the team looks for signs of Bigfoot, such as footprints or hair samples. They also periodically stop and listen for any strange sounds that could indicate the presence of the creature. Bobo explains that a common tactic of Bigfoot is to call back to humans who are making noise in the area. This can sometimes indicate that the creatures are trying to communicate with us.

After a while, the team reaches a clearing in the forest where they set up a bait station. They hope that by leaving food out in the open, a curious Bigfoot will come investigate. The team predicts that Bigfoot will come out at night to avoid humans and to take advantage of the darkness for hunting.

At night, the team sits around the campfire, waiting to see if anything will happen. After a few hours of sitting in the dark, they suddenly hear a loud howl in the distance. Excited by this potential sighting, the team quickly packs up their gear and hikes towards the sound.

As they approach, they begin to hear other sounds, such as wood knocking and vocalizations. Matt suggests that they may have encountered a family group of Bigfoot, as these types of sounds are often indicative of multiple individuals communicating with each other.

After hiking for a while, the team stops and sets up thermal imaging cameras to try and capture any visuals of the creature. Thermal imaging cameras work by detecting the heat signature of living things, even in complete darkness. As they watch the footage, they see several hotspots moving through the woods, seemingly following them.

The team is excited by this potential evidence and decides to follow the hotspots deeper into the forest. As they trek through the darkness, they begin to hear footsteps and branches breaking, mere feet away from them. The tension in the air is palpable as they search for the source of the sounds.

The episode ends with the team still searching through the forest, hoping to catch a glimpse of the elusive Bigfoot. While they don't come face to face with the creature in this episode, they remain optimistic about the potential evidence they captured with the thermal imaging cameras and continue to search with renewed vigor.

In conclusion, Finding Bigfoot season 7 episode 5, Bigfoot Basecamp, follows the team as they set up camp in a remote area of the Colorado Rockies and search for signs of Bigfoot. Over the course of the episode, the team hears strange noises, potentially sees hotspots on thermal imaging cameras, and follows footsteps through the forest. While they don't have a definitive sighting, the team remains optimistic and continues their search for the elusive creature.
