I'm romantic.

I would like Bigfoot to exist.

I've met people who swear they've seen Bigfoot.

And I think the interesting thing is every single continent...

There is an equivalent of Bigfoot or Sasquatch.

There's the Yeti, there's the Yari in Australia, there's the Chinese wild man, and on and on and on.

And, you know, I've had stories from people who, you have to believe them.

So there's something, I don't know what it is.

I'm always open-minded.

We know that across the Amazon basin, there's still perhaps thousands of clans of quote unquote uncontacted peoples, people that are living in nomadic isolation in what remains of the intact Amazon basin and want to remain that way.

And so what happened with these loggers was that local people told them, don't go out there.

Don't go into these territories.

And what happens is that people that aren't from... This is the thing with the jungle.

People don't believe that...

It's as wild as the legends say.

And so when they say there's Kalatos out there, there's wild people out there, these loggers from another region go, yeah, some story, we're fine, we'll go.

We have shotguns.

They don't realize you're dealing with

a civilization of people that is still nomadic, still uses bamboo-tipped arrows, still lives naked in the Amazon rainforest, has knowledge of medicines that we have yet to encounter or may never discover, and that they can hit a spider monkey out of the treetops at 40 meters.

And so while you're using a chainsaw, they can sneak up and you will never know they're there.
