Bipes hair acting as camouflage?

Author/Researcher/Habituater Christopher Noël just released a very interesting video on a subject that's been discussed in and out of this forum on the hair and examination of it and how 'it might' work to the Bipeds favor in camouflage. I found it quite fascinating and liked the presentation.

Very interesting.
For years I thought Christopher was a bit too touchy/feely about BF but over the last year he stepped up his game and has gotten downright scientific in his approach. His audio work is mind-blowing with multiple recorders strategically placed. He has audio that sounds like a childrens playground only it was recorded at 3:00 AM in the middle of the forest on a below zero night.
Lately my go-to vids are AYR, Christopher Noel and Dixie Cryptid.
There is another guy, HowToHunt, and he has some interesting stories but he is so critical of other researchers that its a bit hard to watch. Still quite good though.

I hate to be Johnny rain cloud here but there hasn't been any proper analysis of the hairs .
The hair in his hand is more than likely an owl pellet . This means that either the owl ate the sasquatch OR that they aren't sasquatch hairs .
The fingerprints on the back of the car @ 17:07 might be something , they certainly do look odd . The prints @ 17:51 are more than likley human and here's the problem with finger prints , who is saying that sasquatch has dermal ridges ? This assumption spans the entire bigfoot/sasquatch community .
Here's another problem , what is a sasquatch ?
The Buddist may say there is only one true religion . IE , sasquatch is an alien .
The christian may say there is only one god , IE , sasquatch is a demon .
The aetheist might say that there IS no god , IE , sasquatch is a relict hominoid .
Everyone has a belief , but who has the correct belief ?

Indeed. Somebody suggested they send samples to Oxford, so see if they do.

Back in the 70's (IIRC) there was a researcher that sent in some (supposed) BigFoot hair samples to the F.B.I.'s forensic and they first came back as "not matching any known samples" and the words by the analyst were of excitement. Much later another analysis came back stating that it was just deer hair.
The other cases of analyzed samples that I've heard/read of were that the samples had been misplaced/lost before a proper analysis could be made. As much as I hate to say anything negative on the sciences, I do believe that (to some degree), there is a "hands-off" attitude when it comes to this subject matter.

Your absolutely right .
The laboratories here are renown for failing blind tests . There's no way in hell any laboratory would confirm an unknown hair sample , could you imagine the controversy of an unknown sample , wow ?
Others on here have had samples thrown in the bin , denial any sample was ever recieved and sample was lost as you say .
It's like permanently removing the goal posts .

Hi JohnnyAnonymous,
As you may or may not know I'm not an advocate for the branches of science on relative theories of Bigfoot, Yowie or any other cryptid and the ''hands-off'' attitude on this subject matter is smoke and mirrors science at its best.
I'm a bit like stuck in the groove of a one-track record on the reliance or non-reliance of scientific explanations on the topic of cryptids but I will say treat anything they say with a good dose of suspicion.
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
