The Skunk Ape, the Wood Booger & the Scariest Thing in the Forest
Description
Is Bigfoot just a West Coast thing? What the hell is a Wood Booger? And why should outdoor lovers care about the Roadless Rule?
It's Spooky Season on Gear Abby, and Shawnté heads east in search of Bigfoot's lesser-known cousins: Florida's stinky Skunk Ape and Virginia's magnificently named Wood Booger. She digs into their lore, the gloriously terrible videos that supposedly captured them on film, and whether she and Colin actually believe any of this stuff. Spoiler: they want to believe.
Then Gear Abby debuts a new segment where Shawnté and Colin tackle the questions they want answered, starting with something genuinely scary: What is the Roadless Rule, why could it go away, and what can outdoor lovers do about it?
Plus: we're now an award-winning podcast, sexy Bigfoot, Shawnté's inability to understand acronyms, Colin's refusal to believe in cryptids, and the sentence “Skunk Ape is my safe word.”
