Save Yourself with Bigfoot Science
Able Cunningham is a weapons expert, outdoorsman and Bigfoot Scientist. As a lifelong resident of New Hampshire, he has dedicated his life to revealing the truth about Bigfoot in the Granite State. Able has documented his own experiences and those of others across the state on www.603bigfoot.com and on his YouTube channel. He is the founder of the Bigfoot Awareness, Resistance and Education (B.A.R.E.) program, which seeks to better inform and protect the public from the perils of Bigfoot.Ricardo O’Connor first became interested in the Bigfoot phenomenon as a teenager, when he had a close relative go missing in the White Mountain National Forest under mysterious circumstances. For years, this instilled a deep fear of the forest—until he came under the tutelage of noted Bigfoot Scientist Able Cunningham. Now Ricardo is a valued member of the 603 Bigfoot team and is pursuing a degree in Bigfoot Science himself.Able Cunningham | 603 Bigfoot (@603_bigfoot) • Instagram photos and videos603 Bigfoot - Bigfoot, New HampshireLike and SUBSCRIBE TO: Martin Outside - YouTube*If you found this episode of Papa Bear Hikes entertaining, informative, and/or interesting please leave a review on Apple iTunesPapa Bear Hikes on Apple PodcastsAmazon.com: Switching Gears: Rediscovering the Meaning of Life, Love, and Happiness While Backpacking Vermont’s Long Trail eBook : Armitage, Martin: Kindle StorePlease consider supporting my work, so I can continue bringing you excellent content:https://www.patreon.com/papabearhikes Avalon Publicity & Business Services Increasing the Digital Footprint of Content Creators via Modern Publicity and Social Media ServicesSupport the showGet outside, have fun and be safe!Martin Armitage, Host of the Papa Bear Hikes Podcasthttps://www.papabearhikes.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/papa-bear-hikes/id1541491746https://www.instagram.com/papabearhikes01/
