Well right off the top of my head. I wish when he set up on his own, which I assume we will see on part two, he didn't let Standing know where he was going to be. But one of the last things you see is Standing driving away in his Argo. Standing knows the area well. he has been up and down these cut lines many times before, not to difficult for him get get within a mile or two of survivor man and do some sounds or wood knocks. Stroud says he didn't think Standing could have come out there just before this to set up structures, tree breaks etc, etc. Well Standing could have been setting stuff up like that for years, as I am sure he has been there many times before. He knew when Strouds people first contacted him months in advance that this program was in the works, some bad conclusions being offered by Stroud here in my opinion. Hopefully in part two he will have a little more common sense thing going on. I am not saying this because I have anything against Stroud, but Todd Standing is as far as I am concerned nothing but a attention seeking hoaxer. That does not mean that he might not really have a true encounter one day, after all he does go into areas where Sasquatch has been reported many times before. I myself spent 24 years doing research in Alberta. I have no problem with the idea of Sasquatch being there. But once a researcher has been infected with what I refer to as, "Ivan Marks Syndrome" everything he claims has to looked at with a great amount of skepticism.

Stroud started out seeming level headed, but he definitely seemed to start getting carefree with his statements when he was saying that he has heard a Sasquatch, which is just an assumption at best for he never saw what made the sounds he had heard.
So when is part two going to be on?

Thomas Steenburg I would like Stroud to ask Standing how he managed to be filming a Sasquatch from in front of the subject looking in the camera's direction to Standing now being right next to the subject and looking up at it and yet the subject doesn't look down at Standing, but instead it just keeps looking forward. Very suspicious.

Wednesday, March 26th, 2014 at 7PM PST. My wife is going to watch "Part 1" tonight. She missed it last night. I had to promise not to talk while it is playing -- she says that she is tired of me getting all worked up and angry at what I am seeing.

Standing comes across like a narcissistic nut. Yep. For hoaxers it's all about the attention. As Hitler said, a big lie is more readily accepted by the simplistic masses. So STANDING tells whopper-sized lies.

Yeah, I got to see this on YouTube, and it was not too bad, but the association with Standing is troubling to me and the fact that Stroud seems to not be using much objectivity. Maybe he will do better in Part 2 without Standing being around. It is very suspicious that both Stroud and Standing would hear something in an area that Standing just coincidentally happened to be "researching" in. Can't wait to see Part 2.

I say let Stroud take Standing with him somewhere that Standing had no forewarned knowledge of going, possibly being flown by chopper, and camp for a few days and count how many contacts they have with Sasquatch. I remember when hearing about alleged Sasquatch rock throwing going on in Golden Ears Park with a certain someone and I said to make sure those going have someone watching the suspected culprit at all times and count how many rocks were thrown. It ended up that no rocks were thrown when the culprit had people surrounding him. Eventually this person was caught in the act when he thought no one was watching. I could see through Standing when he told Survivorman that bent trees are created by Sasquatch to warn people from not going into their area. One would think that Survivorman would have asked Standing how he came to that conclusion???

Standing was certainly not very objective either. He said that return whoop was absolutely a Sasquatch and that the structures were absolutely set up by Sasquatch, instead of saying those things were POSSIBLE. Then again, those were most likely situations he set up himself, so it is no surprise that he would absolutely call something Sasquatch when it most likely was not.

I could not agree with you more and I saw that while at first Survivorman was saying he wanted to remain objective - it seemed that the more Standing said that 'it was a Sasquatch' - it appeared to rub off on Survivorman. Survivorman never said he had seen a Sasquatch ... he was eventually saying that he has heard Sasquatch. (sigh~)

Standing is an arrogant attention-seeking hoaxer, even Finding Bigfoot called him out on his hoax in 2012. Those videos and still photos are so transparently fake that it is hard to think that anyone would be fooled by them. His efforts to get protection for the Sasquatch might be admirable if I was sure he wasn't doing it just for free publicity and self-aggrandizement. Besides, you can't protect something that technically does not exist, so I think it was a waste of time and effort on his part.

I am pretty pissed off about the whole thing. The second part was terrible! Much worse than the first episode.
