Forget the bears. We all know that the real top notch nusaince animal in Nepal is this guy...

I can almost imagine some village kami in Nepal pitching this to a 19th century greenhorn as a Yeti Slayer. It is not quite a khukuri; but, its close. I like the balance and the nicely sharpened clip point.

Thank God we've moved off UFO's to something regarding the practical use of khukuris ;)

Look at those arms. Wonder if HI could hire one to pound steel? Do you think the khuks with the additional sun makers mark are pounded by a Yeti apprentice?
 
Y'all can laugh if you want, but I was out hiking with my wife when we heard what I think could be a bigfoot. We were in a small meadow in some high pines about 1/2 hour away from my dome. We'd hiked back in on an old logging road, and were taking a break when we heard a a very loud roaring wail about 3/4 of a mile away that I can't adequately describe in words. I don't know what made that sound, but I know that it wasn't a deer, elk, bear, mountain lion, dog, or human, which pretty much covers all the mammals in the area large enough to make a sound of that volume--except for bigfoot. I've spent a lot of time in the woods, and I've never heard anything like it, and I hope I never do again. It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. My wife and I took one look at each other as the cry was ehcoing in the still mountain air and immediately started hiking back to our car as rapidly as possible. I would not want to face whatever it was that made that sound with a knife, no matter how big the knife was.

For those interested in Bigfoot, I highly recommend a book by the late Dr. Grover Krantz called Bigfoot Sasquatch: Evidence.

What size shoe qualifies one for the title of "Bigfoot".

A pride of lions
A murder of crows
A bunch of bigfeet?

:confused:

Yea, the loud noise was when they got choked on a bong hit :cool:

Josh,

I don't disbelieve in them. Anything with an animals senses and a near human brain (superior? they don't have to work) could likely keep from being found or shot.

It is interesting how we are all naturally conditioned to run away from things that go bump in the night. The sound could have been just about anything from a bird, to a mechanical device, to the proverbial tree falling in the woods. It is hard to say from a distance; especially over broken terrain.

Yet, I do believe in these creatures, because others believe in them. Whether these creatures have solid physical forms I do not know; but, if it real in the mind then it has practical substance. There will always be that small voice in the back of your mind warning you about the things that lurk in dark places.

Josh, I'm disappointed in you. You didn't track him down, ask, "NEW TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD?" "WELCOME!" AND SHAKE HIS HAND. ;)
 
N2s--it was broad daylight. I know there are other things that could have made that sound, and of course it's very difficult to describe a sound in words, but the sound was not mechanical, and I am certain it wasn't a tree falling or breaking. It was a vocalization of some sort, and based on the volume and resonance, it came from a fairly large creature. I've heard elk bellowing before, and I've heard birds make some pretty outrageous sounds, but the sound my wife and I heard was nothing like either of those things. I don't offer this as proof of the existence of bigfoot, as I never actually saw what made the sound. Personally, I think it's possible that bigfoot exists, but I haven't seen really strong evidence that supports it. The Patterson film might be real, but then again, maybe not. I've heard convincing arguments from both sides. A friend and I made some fake footprints last year and made some plaster casts which looked pretty good. We even got simulated dermal ridged in some of the castings. This made me doubt the validity of most footprint casts I've seen. If a couple of guys can make convincing casts in a weekend of playing around in the front yard, I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard for a dedicated hoaxer to do better. Until I see a body, I will remail skeptical as to the existense of large unidentified hominid creature on the North American continent, or anywhere else in the world for that matter.

LCS--If you head up the ridge from Magalia, things get pretty rural in a hurry. I'd imagine a bigfoot could fit in quite nicely in Stirling City with maybe just a shave and overalls :D .

"What is the best knife for yeti defense? "

A knife wielded by some-one between me and the yeti.

Location, location, location.
 
If one of these can cut a Spanish horse in half (as has been well documented), then I am pretty sure it could give the yeti a little tickle.

Though iffen I saw a yeti, I dunno how eager I would be to chop it up, the greedy side of me says a nice tranquilizer gun would be far more profitable. :D

BEST KHUK FOR A YETI????











One held by a companion who runs much slower than you do. :rolleyes:
 
I am going to tell you all a old Nelson family defense system that has been passed on from father to son for hundreds of years. I wouldn't just tell anyone this, but I consider everyone here friends so I will tell you and hope that you will use this knowledge in good faith. I think this would be a good defense against a yeti as well as many other creatures of the night. Now I am a pretty big guy, not really tall just big, so it might work for me a bit better then for some of you. Say you are walking along a mountain trail and out pops Mr. Yeti. First: DO NOT RUN. For me this is a given, my short legs do not produce speed and I am not going to run very far anyway. Second: Throw your arms up and puff out you chest. I mean really puff that sucker out. Think Luciano Pavarotti when you take that deeeeeep breath. Third: Either fall to your back or stomach (I prefer my back myself). Fourth: Let out a high pitched scream, like a spoiled five year old girl who just lost her doll. I mean really let one go. It is important not to hold anything back, dogs miles away should run for cover. Fifth: Start crying and screaming for you mommy, all the while failing around like a fish that is out of the water, arms and legs must be moving with all possible speed.Repeat as needed untill threat leaves. Nothing know to man in the real world or legend wants to get near a person (more so a grown man) when they are throwing a fit like this. Pitty or humor will save you. If this does not work, and I can not imagine for the life of me that it wouldn't, then I would suggest a 25" Chit. :p ;)
