Looking for Bigfoot with FLIR
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on September 6th, 2012
I recently had the opportunity to take some good folks from FLIR Systems, Inc. into the woods for an overnight adventure. Most bigfooters know FLIR as the infrared and thermal imaging company that makes those nifty devices that most of us salivate over. Knowing that the FLIR folks would be taking an arsenal of their products out with us, I was quite excited about the trip.
While out in the woods, we shot the following short promotional video for my upcoming speaking engagement at Inframation, the world’s largest infrared camera-user’s conference in the world. I will be speaking on November 6th on how I utilize FLIR thermal imagers in bigfooting.Cliff Barackman

The FBI and ATF have imagers or X rays, if you will, that can penetrate concrete and look through our walls. To find crime they say, but it’s there and it makes the FLIR look like a toy. I sometimes think things like this are gimmicks and add no value. How many Bigfoot have been found with this lately?
I agree with Ulysses. And besides, too much technology gets in the way and sucks the fun out of matters. Plus, they are distrustful of technology, and it seems to make no sense to interpose more of what they distrust into the picture. Frankly, I fail to understand the entire “where’s the proof?” line of thinking. Why does it even need to be proved, anyway?
You wouldn’t find a fox with this stuff if you didn’t do it the right way.
Ring me, Cliff, when you’re doing it the right way. Running around the country to spend three days setting off firecrackers to attract this elusive being that shuns us don’t strike me as the right way.
