This group was looking for Bigfoot. Now they also look for missing people

- On June 17, 2020, during a camping trip in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Kelly Stolp and an old Army buddy, Mike Palagi, 38, experienced what they now refer to as “the founding incident” - they heard what they believe to be Bigfoot.
Since then, their friend Tanner Hoskins formed the Pacific Northwest Bigfoot Search. The group searches across Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana to gather clues that might inform what the two men heard in the woods four years ago.
But it turns out the remote areas with plenty of reported Bigfoot sightings also have scores of missing people who have never been found. So the group has branched out, looking not just for signs of Sasquatch but cold cases in the woods.

Tons of respect for how tough Tanner is both physically and mentally. After feeling the POWER of a large Sasquach roar/scream I don't want to go find one.
😂😂😂
Being in cronic pain is a real mf'er, just drains the life out of you but he seems in good spirits
Thank you for your kind words. I’m just trying to live life. I love the wilderness.
Keep us in mind if you experience or stumble across something strange in the forests of the Pacific Northwest.

So impressed with Tanner. What a beast. So glad he has found a purpose in life. He is very smart and quite capable. Glad he's using his skills.
Thank you for the kind words Jenny! Means a lot to me.
Please keep us in mind if you experience anything strange in the forests of the Pacific Northwest!
- Tanner
What an inspiration to us all, right?!
i'm so glad this young man is doing something really cool ,and helpful to the public, in spite of his physical limitations.
Thank you for sharing our team’s story. Teresa and Sam were amazing to work with. They’re welcome out in the field with us any time.
- Tanner
What an incredible story. Tanner has such a motivational and honorable story…for those who are and aren’t limited with their abilities. Keep on keeping on Tanner.
I absolutely will keep on keeping on. Thank you so much for your kind words and support.
- Tanner
Man what an inspiration this guy is!
Thank you for your kind words.
- Tanner
He's awesome! Not letting anything keep him from helping families and searching. ❤
We are told about monsters as children through storytelling. As adults, we find out that everything monsters do, people also actually do.
Hey guys, im from that area. I went to North Marion Elementary and the Wood Middle school in Wilsonville and then Colton High in Colton. I grew up spening a lot of time up the Molalla corridor. After you cross the bridge just passed paty rock or also known as kegger island, turn right and head up to a place we called smilie rock. Its a big boulder someone painted a smiley face on in the '70s. My Dad would take us boys up there hunting. There is at least 1 family of forest people that live up there. We've had lots of experiences through the years. I don't know what thearea looks like know i haven't lived there since 2014.
The one man with an artificial leg is absolutely amazing. 💯 %
Thank you so much Heidi I really appreciate your support and kind words.

The missing 411 maps, bigfoot sightings map, giant skeleton maps and cave system maps are literally the same map. They line up perfectly
That’s a bingo. Also pretty similar to UFO sighting map.
Dude you're right!! WTF!!!
They also aline with the ufo sightings maps! XD
Thank you gentlemen for doing what you do in addition to looking for Bigfoot. I live in Oregon, & know several people who have seen sasquatch. I had an experience one night 50 years ago, east of Mt. Rainier and about 30 miles west of Yakima way up in the mountains. We didn't see what was making the big tall Douglas Fir shake like it was going to explode, but I have good reason to believe it was one.
We’d love to chat with you further if you’re up to reaching out to us directly.

Tanner is very inspirational! He makes me want to try harder in everything I do!
Thank you for your kind words. I’m happy to have my life story motivate you. Keep fighting the good fight!
- Tanner
I hope these good fellows do help find missing people. God be with them, and keep them safe.🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much Tanner and friends for looking for missing people! And if you spot Bigfoot... good for you!
Thank you for your kind words. We hope to bring answers and closure to some of these countless grieving families and find our own answers in the process.

I have seen them up in Pinot National Park! They are there!! There is sign everywhere. There are families of them. They do migrate! They live deep in the forest! You could walk right by one and not notice. If you smell one it’s too late! They just want to be left alone. They are HUGE the resources through there are more than plentiful. I have the utmost respect to this man who pushes on with his disability. I feel he is an inspiration to all! Bless you! You are Amazing!
They are there and in many, many other places that are not even that deep of forest. I smelled one, once, and I found out by a researcher that they only emit that smell when they want you out of their space. Maybe a mother with a baby in the area? Or they just want their privacy. I smelled the odor as I was walking in the woods, and suddenly felt an urge to run back to my car. I didn't know what I was smelling, but had decided that it wasn't a good thing. I "felt" eyes on me, and had to run, not walk. I knew a guy who told me that he saw one crossing a road in a very populated area, at 4:00 AM. As he told me the story, his eyes teared and goosebumps appeared on his arms. I believe him! He said it was walking toward the beach and was about 9 feet tall. This is on the east coast of the US!
Tanner what an amazing dude. Great crew too
Thank you. We’re a pretty great ragtag team. We appreciate your kind words and support.
- Tanner
Bless his heart! The man with the disability has a great attitude about life. I just hope that you're careful and that you don't ever have to run away from anything!!❤ Sorry to hear about the man losing his life.
We’re extremely careful with everything we do.
Thank you for your support and kind words.
- Tanner
I’d be interested to hearing more updates on this group. 👍👍
Worthwhile folks doing good things. 👍👍
Inspiring young men! Congratulations on your friendship and purpose.
I’d like to see longer videos of these guys this was interesting
Inspiring, truly.
Thank you my friend!
- Tanner
tanner, cheers to you for walking the talk.
Thank you Larry! I appreciate your support. Our entire team does.
- Tanner
Thanks for all that you do gentlemen.
No problem at all. We love every minute of what we do.
- Tanner
Hi guys first time viewer lived it you have a new subscriber, all the best from Scotland ❤️🦶🏽🏴
I went out to Washington State in Olympic National Park and had some kind of experience out there when I was in my thirties, I would not go out there now by myself with a 10 ft pole knowing what I know now about Sasquatch. I live in Appalachia and I am very careful even on my own property.
Wow, impressive! You are an inspiration brother. Plus you love Sasquatch research, which interests me. You motivate me to want to do more with myself.😊 Thank you!
This was great. Thank you very much!
Fascinating! What an inspiring story. I think Kelly is a role model for all bipedals.
Couldn’t agree with you more. Kelly is one of the most outstanding men you’ll ever meet.
- Tanner
What a great group of humans! ❤
Tanner seems like an awesome person to be around. I, too, wake up in pain and go to sleep in pain, but I can't keep a smile on my face like him
Ever need a friendly person to chat with about it let me know.
I’m Tanner, from the story.
email me: thoskins@pnwbigfootsearch.com
These heroes are amazing. Just found this story but amazed by their determination & bravery ! God Bless them! Looking forward to more episodes!
Right now, in my life, i needed to see this video. The guy with one leg is a strong, straightforward man.Big respect, big.
Wow thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate that.
Whatever it is you’re going through, I hope you keep fighting the good fight and show that demon who’s boss.
Awesome story!
Well, this was unexpected. Just randomly popped up in my feed. I had no idea what it was. Was it parody, satire, just some guys making a yt video? I don't know what it was. In a mad respect way, it was all of that and so much more. I say that, b/c I laughed, giggled, ohh and ahhh'd. To this is really just good ole clean and wholesome stuff. The world needs THIS right now. If all humans could have just part of what these guys have. This would be a much safer, nicer place. This was real. It wasn't acting. It felt like I knew you all my life, and everything said and done was from the heart. That's why it just flowed so well. No matter if you believe in BF of not. Everyone is curious about it. Missing people, affect so many more lives, than just the one that is lost. Two things at once. Great idea guys! Thnx. I needed this about now :)
I gotta say, Tanner is a stud! I don't think anyone has an idea of the pain he deals with... the fact that he can motivate himself to work that hard is amazing! My daughter goes to Shriners Hospital for extreme Scholiosis, she's in pain at 12, so Tanner as an adult is surely dealing with alot! Anyhow, God bless y'all!!!
Yo Tanner! You’re an impeccable Warrior: you see life as a challenge not blessings or curses. 🙌💪✊
Thank you my friend! I really appreciate your support and kind words. Keep fighting the good fight m💪🏻
I think it's great adding missing people to your search! Remember there are LOTS of missing children in the US, too. Some cases get a lot of media play like Summer Wells from TN and Michael Vaughan from ID who both disappeared in 2021, and other cases barely get a mention.
Wow I will never complain again about anything ! If that young man can run around with a cane and one leg like that hopping over logs going through creeks now that’s a beast in my eyes . He is totally amazing so inspirational hope he gets to do what ever he wants in his life ..❤❤the r3st of the crew is also amazing love it please keep these kinds of adventures coming …
Tanner is an inspiration to never give up ,he is a fighter, and he is an amazing man .
Awesome. You are a tough guy and I salute your determination to help find missing people!! Stay safe in those woods. Your buddies too. 🙏🏻🇺🇸
Id like to do this in colorado too. Let me know if there is anything like this in colorado please
I would like to do that...
I'm sorry to hear about the pain :(
Awesome ❤
God bless Tanner! He has a lot of heart. He's an inspiration!
I research in Mount Hood National Forest. I would research with you any time!

I had 3 encounters in the late 70s in Mill City Oregon. Our friends had Bigfoot in their garden one night in Gates. My next encounter was in 2019 in Union Oregon
Tanner is a very inspiring man! I'd definitely follow him in the woods.
now i'm curious, what happened to Joel Presler.? how did he die?
The theory given by the medical examiner is that he died of hypothermia less than 200 yards from his pickup truck, less than 75 yards from a forest road.
Did you google his name?
What an inspiring, amazing person and group he has.
Great bunch of people keep doing what you do it’s rare to find good people.
Have you ever seen a Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus? Got a pin for it? Maybe that was the mystery sound.
I lived in The Dalles, Oregon in 1971. The local radio station had a Big Foot commercial asking people to report sightings etc. International Big Foot Society?
Wow Tanner your such a huge inspiration and have so much respect and admiration for you. You can tell his positive attitude and his energy is infectious to the group. What you guys are doing is amazing🙏 God Bless you all.
Bigfoot is real!
Why the government doesn’t acknowledge it, idk.
This is so cool!!!!!!
I live in the PNW. I don’t believe Bigfoot is out there. I believe these guys have a reason for thinking so. I’ll be curious to see what he saw on his trail cam.
Anyway, I clicked it out of curiosity, but I stayed more because I was inspired by the man. I’m a human being. Got some pain in my body like everybody else. But that man’s spirit is encouraging.
Wow,,hats off to tanner,,what a legend.This group are doing great things👍❤️🇦🇺
Very interesting!! Excellent story! Very inspiring!
What an amazing man!
Thank you for this very important work that you do.
God put you where you were needed most sir. Thank you very much for what you do And thank you for being an inspiration 🙏🏽😁
Right On Dude ! So proud of your dedication!
Keep on keeping on man⚡
I camped at watum lake and thought I heard a dog run through my campsite but it was a bird hopping around. That’s how quiet and how those pine needles can distort noise.
Excellent adventures with a dual purpose 👍🏽 👣 what a great group! Never ever give up!
Awesome 👍 👌 👏
❤❤❤

I know some about them, but its just enough to know to avoid being eaten.
I have had four sightings. One when I was a kid in Missouri. And three in Washington state. One in a place i won't say because I'mma going there again someday. And on two of my the Coast forks Washington. Wish they had cell phones One the first forks trip. And the second it was just about daylight dnd i couldn't get my cell phone out in time.

I would love to join you guys and help. Maybe when my responsibilities here are done, I could move out there and help. Thank you for what you're doing 🙏 your dedication is astounding 🫂💪
