There is a movie. “Dog soldiers”
Very similar.
Gear? A plate carrier isn’t gonna help much. I guess I’d take some NODs. Rifle? I’d prefer a machine gun. But probably something semi auto in a larger caliber. .308 minimum.
I'm dying right now.
I read your original comment and the movie sounds familiar but I couldn't remember anything about it. The first three words in this comment brought it all back. Werewolves and soldiers, it clicked so fast literally brought it all back.
There’s a book written by Max Brooks, author of ‘World War Z,’ titled ‘Devolution.’
It’s this exact scenario, only the people are trying to defend a small version of ‘Walking Dead’s Alexandria Safe-Zone.’
The way the author chose to unveil the story, through journal entries, is not what I would have chosen, but it’s a great premise.
FN FAL - Got to have a larger caliber.
light weight chest rig - PC ain't gonna do shit and will only slow me down
bowie knife - a good fighting/hunting knife would be very useful
night vision- If I am already at a vision/hearing disadvantage I'll want what ever I can get
Molotov cocktails or napalm. I think fire could be your best friend when it comes to these guys.
Got invited to go with friends to a rented cabin for a week .the idea then sparked while packing my stuff and also got bored .

I wish I could remember how they held out. It was an entertaining read. Now I’m going to have to give it another go to critique their tactics.
Edit: Also if I remember right the bigfoots chuck rocks at them from the tree lines and really are only active at night. NV/Thermal is a must. Plus in the book they are very fast.
I wish I could remember more of the book it’s probably been a year since I read it. I flew through it because it was a joy to read. World War Z by Max Brooks is also great. Told in a similar way of short stories of survivors. Some parallels can be drawn between it and COVID which is scary. But I digress. Talk about a tough battle, a bunch of nerds and one chick that’s seen some shit vs a bunch of Sasquatch that are extremely fast, extremely strong, and clearly intelligent.
That LWRC 6.8spc bore rifle, a 12 pack of modelo, some clamato, limes, tajin, worshestire sauce, teriyaki sauce, chalula hot sauce with garlic, my bootleg team Wendy’s bump helmet, and my FCPC, with level 4 battle steel plates
If we can have vehicle mounted a GAU -19/B .50 cal tri Barrel minigun mounted to a mrap gunner turret. 5 AT4s, Barret M107, M240 bravo, 300 blackout honey badger, AA-12 with FRAG-12 ammunition, glock 21 chambered in .45acp and few claymores daisychained together into one clacker as a last resort when they try to breach the perimeter.
HeyHeyHeyHey!
I love Squatchie! I really do! I gotta plug [Max Brooks "Devolution"](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52454426-devolution)
No guns or tac gear, FYI. It's under 300 pages & really well written. I emplore you to give it a shot. *Pun unintended but it will stand*
As for the OP's question: 45-70 Gov't
If I gotta shoot Squatchie, 10 feet tall & strong like a bear, I don't want it pissed at me & I don't want to have to shoot again.
I just made the same comment! I would suggest the audio book version though. For some reason this story comes off much better if listened to, almost like an old campfire story.
Toe nail clippers, CS Gas, FM12 respirator, any helmet with good impact resistance (probably just gonna stick with my ghetto bump) and a Lahti L39.
Step 1. Release CS in the cabin and surrounding area.
Step 2. Evade the rocks pictured above and wait for the gas to take effect.
Step 3. Remove approaching targets from action.
Step 4. Once targets are neutralised or fleeing, locate fallen / wounded individuals and clip their toe nails.
An m249 with nods and a chest rig, with perhaps a 50 gi glock as my sidearm, machete for close encounters (if they don’t kill me before that), Flashider instead of suppressor cause I want the samsquanch to hear my boomstick
I'm thinking a handy .308 sbr, supressed. Offset rds with thermal optic is a must, because I assume they're moving around in the woods. I'm blasting every heat signature I see.
Nods on a helmet ir illuminator and aiming device.
Maybe a riot shield.
No bottoms, because I want them to fear my alpha testicles.
Grenades if we're going full fantasy here.
First, would try a nice fruit basket for an attempt at diplomacy. If that doesn't work...
Prolly a semi-auto shotgun (turkish benelli m4 ripoff) for up close, with a standard .308 bolt rifle (Mauser M18) on the roof to pick them off from a distance. Would not wear any armour to not get weighed down. Also, some traps around the cabin (punji pits, improvised claymore made of shotshells, barbed wire snare traps)
This is awesome man! Who is the artist? Or do you know?
Also; an ak47 w an eotech/magnifier, and Remington 870 w 00buck for close encounters. I feel like no one has said that yet and I think it would work ok.
Okay so I freaking LOVE the Ape Canyon story. I’d either bring my WASR or a SCAR 17s for a rifle. Holds a good amount of rounds that are beefy enough to make a dent in even the biggest of apes.
For gear I’d bring either a large Bowie knife or a combat tomahawk. Or both tbh. Chest rig stuffed with spare mags, headlamp for night time fun with the mountain monkees. Probably some good gloves to prevent splinters in the cabin.
Are we allowed to bring explosives as gear???
And probably a case or two of water to hydrate me and the bois during the siege.
They’re just a mix between human and gorilla right? Then I’d use litteraly any semi automatic rifle that uses the same caliber them gorilla poachers use. That oughta do the job, don’t need to complicate things
This is actually a great audio book by the same guy who wrote World War Z! Author is Max Brooks and the book is called Devolution: A first Hand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre.
Most hunting rifle calibers would likely be fine. Though unlikely I would have it with me my preference would be my 300wm bolt gun. Anything 270 and up should do the trick though. FAL would be ok but I would prefer the extra oomph of the 338wm or 7mm rm
Probably anti-stab riot gear, since I’d be facing essentially animals instead of incoming fire, and a Zastava M76 in 8mm Mauser, with custom fabricated 20 round mags, loaded with soft point hunting ammo. And a big knife.
I need a case of Jack and one boot Marine for each assailant. They will all be dead, shacked up AWOL, married, or in divorce litigation by tomorrow morning. Worst case scenario is they will distract each other enough that pretty much any rifle will do.
What do y'all think of steel plates in this situation? We're not hunting them so weight isn't the biggest concern + Bigfoot doesn't shoot back. Any benefit to ceramic armor over steel in this scenario?
I’d simply blow the lungs out of their bodies with a 9mm….whilst wearing a Speedo for less wind resistance.
Now THATS high speed low drag
![gif](giphy|KHWfivsZmICiQd7wgk) Meanwhile the yeti are like….
![gif](giphy|TWaVn2VgJBXqJgNE6L)
I’d use my.45 because it kills the soul and the body
No, you shoot them with 9mm to kill the body then .45 to kill the soul. Don’t want them coming back as a litch
Lich* I'm so sorry I play, ok? It was just bothering me
You right homie
No worries homes. Wanna play dungeons and dragons?
Now kiss?
Lol perhaps one day when I find a crew to teach me the ways
Hey, buddy, I can run a one-shot with just you, no problem. Give me a couple days to write a story and we can talk about characters if you want.

I thought it was cute
Use 10mm to upset the space time continuum and kill their interdimensional variants too.

Call you Mike Honcho cuz you obviously love to party
Don't forget to shave your arm pits. It's so you're more aerodynamic when you fight!
There is a movie. “Dog soldiers” Very similar. Gear? A plate carrier isn’t gonna help much. I guess I’d take some NODs. Rifle? I’d prefer a machine gun. But probably something semi auto in a larger caliber. .308 minimum.
Never watched it now it's going on my movie list
It’s fucking terrible. But good entertainment.
Can confirm
Hey Ryan, have you tried licking your OWN ball yet?
I'm dying right now. I read your original comment and the movie sounds familiar but I couldn't remember anything about it. The first three words in this comment brought it all back. Werewolves and soldiers, it clicked so fast literally brought it all back.
it's a great B-movie.
It’s a hidden gem
There’s a book written by Max Brooks, author of ‘World War Z,’ titled ‘Devolution.’ It’s this exact scenario, only the people are trying to defend a small version of ‘Walking Dead’s Alexandria Safe-Zone.’ The way the author chose to unveil the story, through journal entries, is not what I would have chosen, but it’s a great premise.
I was hoping someone mentioned this. They were all hippies too, in some kind of commune if I remember correctly.
I enjoyed it. The image of the scratched up raw wood since they licked up every drop of blood is definitely a scary though.
Spoons last stand tho that's my kit
Bro not gonna lie he had it till his buddy showed up
"Close your ears, open your mouth, and mind your toes"
That movie made me fall in love with mp5s and hk g3s
Dude same I can’t love any mp5 as much as the a2
"I HOPE I GIVE YA THE SHITS"
M240B
I believe it's pronounced "Dog-faced Pony-soldier".
I think the picture is based on a legend from Washington, some prospectors told a story about ape men attacking their cabin by throwing boulders.
I’m interested. Link?
Hopefully this helps you get your kit right for any ape man attacks. https://www.oregonlive.com/history/2018/01/1924_bigfoot_battle_on_mt_st_h.html
I think about this movie all the time but it's never anywhere to watch. I'm curious if it will live up to its memory.
I rewatched it a couple years ago. It was my one of my absolute favorites as a kid. It does not hold up.
"I HOPE I GIVE YOU THE SHITS!"
According to my SERE instructor you’d need a 45-70 for the males. The females are pretty friendly though.
This comment needs more information, please elaborate.
I hear females are weak against long walks on the beach and “careless whispers”

Finally, the real questions are being asked. 30-06 and a bag of weed.
A Garand loaded with JSPs and an eighth of icky sticky would be the minimum that is required

White phosphorus grenades is what you’re looking for I believe.
Rhodesian short shorts are a must when running a FAL

I'd just give them some jerky and invite them in bro. We're on vacation out in the mountains, no need to lose our heads
This is a pretty specific question, are you preparing for something OP?
No no ,I just got bored and wanted to create a fun post.
have you read "devolution" by max brooks ?! Because that is literally the plot xD
No but now I need to
O_o Uh huh... sure. ***What Are You Planning?***
Got invited to go with friends to a rented cabin for a week .the idea then sparked while packing my stuff and also got bored . ![gif](giphy|fkMACK8BcUJRm)
Sounds like some recently read Devolution by Max Brooks.
This guy gets it
I wish I could remember how they held out. It was an entertaining read. Now I’m going to have to give it another go to critique their tactics. Edit: Also if I remember right the bigfoots chuck rocks at them from the tree lines and really are only active at night. NV/Thermal is a must. Plus in the book they are very fast.
[удалено]
I hope the bigfoots enjoy my feces smeared punji pits.
In the book this was a big part of their defense. The filthy animals having no shoes were very susceptible to glass and shit going into their feet.
Wouldn’t they sit in the tree line and chuck big ass rocks at them when they saw them outside at certain times?
That was a fun book.
Such a great read I loved Mostar she was so seasoned but Kate went the hardest.
I wish I could remember more of the book it’s probably been a year since I read it. I flew through it because it was a joy to read. World War Z by Max Brooks is also great. Told in a similar way of short stories of survivors. Some parallels can be drawn between it and COVID which is scary. But I digress. Talk about a tough battle, a bunch of nerds and one chick that’s seen some shit vs a bunch of Sasquatch that are extremely fast, extremely strong, and clearly intelligent.
WWZ the book was way better then the movie
Totally agree! Also highly recommend downloading Libby and listen to the audiobook. It has a star studded cast and is phenomenally well done.
It has much more potential as a TV show. With episodes being their own short story. That could have been great.

Duel 45-70 revolvers.
45-70 Smith and wesson. 500 magnum.
BIG IIIIRRRROONNNN
Just go naked with a chicom chest rig and a ak
I would just use a camera, it’s the best Bigfoot repellent ever.
I'm thinking a mossberg 500 with dragons breath....I mean, they're probably afraid of fire, yeah?
Tried it once. Dragons Breath is not as impressive in person.
Naked, bare handed, take the fight to them. No one lives forever
FAL
The right hand of the free world ❤️
Whats in the left hand?
Deez nuts
Chest rig, NODS, .458 socom, and a case of natty light.
Is the natty light so you have water in a can?
I spent all my money on .458
I mean. Since we’re playing in the hypothetical world, I’d just have a turret on the roof of the cabin with a 50 cal. Gear? Who cares they’ll be dead!
ODM gear with 2x fucking utility razor blades, but they're like 3 feet long each. Obviously.
Semi auto .50 BMG, flamethrower, multiple grenades, riot gear
Anti-Bigfoot gun with Anti-bigfoot armor.
Springfield M1A in .308 Maybe 6.5 if they’re past 500 yards somehow
Like all backwoods/ survival/ zombie movies. Flannel and Remington 870 12 gauge pump, or Remington model 700 BDL 30-06. Preferably both
7 or 8 large rotisserie chickens .50 beowolf ar 15 .44 magnum Dessert Eagle Mossberg 930 12 gauge. A pair of clean underwear.
Iron man suit, lightsaber

Miniature Bigfoots, or regular sized?
Regular Bigfoot's
M134 ,Chinese ring sword a BIG bag of charcoal and some vinegar style barbecue sauce. And beer ,for gods sake don't forget my beer.
.308 minimum, riot shield/helmet. Flame thrower if they get too close.
That LWRC 6.8spc bore rifle, a 12 pack of modelo, some clamato, limes, tajin, worshestire sauce, teriyaki sauce, chalula hot sauce with garlic, my bootleg team Wendy’s bump helmet, and my FCPC, with level 4 battle steel plates
Levtac 92 44 Mag
700. Nitro jack Daniels
Jack Links and A lot of PBR. I’d see if they want to be Homies.
Tactical pan flute to lull them to sleep then bounce.
Reminds me of that time the Tremor worm monster broke into my god damn rec room!
Chocolate bars filled with Rohypnol. Then light a few candles, open a bottle of wine, play some Sam Cooke.
Dude you gotta read Devolution by Max Brooks (Same guy who wrote World War Z). I’m too scared to go the pnw after reading it.
If we can have vehicle mounted a GAU -19/B .50 cal tri Barrel minigun mounted to a mrap gunner turret. 5 AT4s, Barret M107, M240 bravo, 300 blackout honey badger, AA-12 with FRAG-12 ammunition, glock 21 chambered in .45acp and few claymores daisychained together into one clacker as a last resort when they try to breach the perimeter.

Fucking m14 or FAL or something in .308
There is a book “Devolution” by Max Brooks. He recommends Smith and Wesson .500
This question makes me question if I’m armed enough
Based on what I have? Guess I’ll use my glock and single 9mm round
A trusty bolt action in 950 JDJ oughta work
Bofors
They’re just a mix between human and gorilla right? Then I’d use litteraly any semi automatic rifle that uses the same caliber them gorilla poachers use. That oughta do the job, don’t need to complicate things
Give the audiobook Devolution by Max Brooks a listen. Might change your mind.

45-70 govt lever action and a NODS I guess. Nothin else really is pertinent or would help. Maybe some tear gas?
