Jim LeBus says his team of survival experts can get the job done and prove once and for all that Bigfoot is real

| "My ground team and I don't play with toys." - Jim LeBus |
After posting his first video on YouTube, survival expert Jim LeBus didn't make it clear how his team was going to capture Bigfoot. Many people didn't take him seriously and some even mocked him and called him a "loon." LeBus felt compelled to write a letter explaining why he invented the fireball gun and what actually happened on the History Channel show "Invention USA."
LeBus wrote us an email Thursday telling us that he recently posted a new video on YouTube going into more detail about his team of experts. In the email, LeBus mentions that his team is not out to kill Bigfoot. "We are not Bigfoot killers. That is in fact the opposite reason for this expedition," wrote LeBus. He says that his team has been training for two years, and he will be taking with him a team of scientists and a documentary film crew.
His new video also responds to some comments from critics and tells us what he thinks about the Patterson-Gimlin film.
Below is the email from Jim LeBus along with the new video:
Since my first public YouTube video exposing my Bigfoot expedition I've noticed each word written or said is on a very thin line among the Bigfoot community. That line is correct for where and what it is. But it appears that some people have over looked the basic concept of this expedition. We are not Bigfoot killers. That is in fact the opposite reason for this expedition.
At present there are many locations where people can kill as many Bigfoots, Yeti's, Snowmen...etc as they want. There are few (if any) protective / preventive killing laws towards Bigfoot(s). To create those laws Bigfoot(s) need to be proven. As a survival expect I have written and said many times "Preventive survival is the best survival." Preventive measures (in any aspect) are the most important ones.
My team has many members who specialize in many fields. Each 1 person has a credible reputation in their field and plays a key role in this expedition.
In keeping their credibility and reputations solid, they won't make claim their involvement with this expedition, as it may fail. I put together this team after my situation in the forest. It was tough going at first "Jim's seeing things" kinda deal.
But the team finally came together. During the process of building this team I didn't contact any Bigfoot people or organizations. We have all heard and seen what might, maybe perhaps be the possibility of Bigfoot screaming or the pictures/videos of Bigfoot walking along the meadows. I want no part of that! None of us are involved with any prior or ongoing Bigfoot research.
We are not part of any Bigfoot organizations, groups or clubs. Although it’s great these resources exist, we have no need for them. The ground team and I agree (at the moment) for a 1 time 14 day expedition. We don't do Bigfoot things for a living and for that reason its complex to organize set dates and time frames. After the expedition deadline (with or with-out Bigfoot(s)) we're done.
We're not taking our sorry asses to other locations. Researchers deploy devices of interpretation (from safe locations.) Audio, Video, Still Photo's (while those are interesting) they confirm what? It’s that same research that has brought the same result as over the past 70+ years "Is Bigfoot Real?" And as always it’s done by playing with the latest high tech toys of its decade. My ground team and I don't play with toys.
We don't train in safe locations. I and my ground team are the first out. My science and documentary team come after the "all clear." BTW some of them are pissed at not being a part of the ground team. Again, it’s taken 2 years to get this far. Putting aside all of that, I and my team have hope that Bigfoot(s) will be discovered (conclusively) before our expedition. We're not interested in fame.
We don't have a (For Hire Bigfoot Hunters/Researchers) website or organization. I hammer on "Bigfoot Researchers" by way of none conclusive evidence.
But until those folks can offer up any conclusive Bigfoot evidence, they best stay in their safe locations and play with their toys of interpretation while we go out and give it a try.
It’s time to get the job done!

LOL he said Bigfoot Boobaloo. LOL
ReplyDeleteYou can't make this shit up!
hope he is successful.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he's ready for war, was that a bazooka he had in his right hand.
ReplyDeleteThis guys a fruitcake!
ReplyDelete"I'm gonna get a bigfoot"
ReplyDeletewell do it then. quit your jabbering. talk is cheap. Until you get one, shut your mouth.
There are no laws protecting bigfoot because there is no bigfoot.
ReplyDeleteI am going git me one of these critters and I am not jabbering. I am just keeping you all informed.
ReplyDeleteWho to believe? Jim LeBus interpretation of the Patterson film or Bill Munns and Bob Gimlin.
ReplyDeleteBill Munns has done the best scientific analysis to date, and Bob Gimlin was there. That's a tough one.

Jim-Bo is back! I love it. What a character. I like people who are daring enough to own their personality (and use their name in the public). He may come across as a bit of a tool with all the camo and weaponry, but if Jim-Bo is telling the truth and he has no desire to kill a BF and his team also backs that concept, I say good luck and thank you! Sometimes, to do a big adventure, you need personality. Ordinary guys who write in anonymously don't have the cajones to go for something so grand. It takes a little something more edgy and brave.
ReplyDeleteHe's photographed with weapons, but he's not going to kill one? How is he going to prove bigfoot's existence without killing one? Is he going to pull a gun on a squatch and order it to get into a cage in the back of his pick-up?
ReplyDeleteLOL @ above. Squatch hold-up.
ReplyDeleteThis guy LeBus calls himself a "survivalist". That term is being used a lot nowadays by guys who are really just transients and drifters. Reminds me of the bums who polluted the Occupy Movement after a while, by claiming to be "protestors" so they could get a free lunch and not get busted for sleeping in the park.
ReplyDelete...and you wonder why the outside community refuses to take this "field" seriously??
ReplyDeleteWe give idiots like this the floor because it's good entertainment at the expense of bringing all down about eithy notches...
Thanks!!!
I hope that he does "get the job done." I also hope that he doesn't take out a ranger, hiker, or camper in the process of getting the job done.
ReplyDeleteDid he say when this expedition is starting?
ReplyDeleteI wonder where he will concentrate his search.
Will they brink jerky with them?
Good luck

I can see it now, this guy confronts a Bigfoot, tries to capture it and the lone survivor from his 'team' that manages to escape the ensuing carnage goes to the authorities and describes the incident. Ketchums DNA study is released at the same time and it is determined that bigfoot is a human. A warrant is then issued for this Bigfoot clan that allegedly murdered LeBus and his team and all of a sudden Bigfoot is a wanted man. Can you imagine the posters?
ReplyDeleteJim is no tool, he is also no fool and not crazy in the least bit. It is clear he is brilliant man who has created a character or persona to garner attention so as to further his career interests. Here is the proof.
ReplyDelete1) He invented and built a weapon showcased on the history channel- ok its design was flawed but the fact he was chosen to be on the show showed his submission was one of the best they received. As far as any short comings I ask anyone here if they can invent and build something that actually functions as intended? There was a delay fine the prototype was not perfect but the fact he did this makes me think he may be an engineer.
2) Look at the dog in the video and then listen to him. That dog is showing affection which means it is not just "an animal with a purpose" as he tries to say and if its that type of animal then why is it not in a pen but at your feet in the videos.
3) Who knew who Jim LeBus was three weeks ago? Nobody- now look at him- he has discussions on numerous forums.
4) Look at his actions- is a tough as nails survivalist going to keep sending emails to Shawn or get mad if it appears people he does not know on a message board do not like him.
5) Look at some of his videos- look at his coffee cup in one- the stark contrast from that mug to what someone would think a survivalist would use as a mug is an old comedy trick.
Here is what I think will happen and why. LeBus was dealing with the History Channel on the inventions show and he got to talking with alot of people and finally he was asked to be a part of an expedition for their 2012 Bigfoot special. He then created a character to create "buzz" as anyone in television knows it does not matter what people think of you as long as they tune in.
This man appears to be highly educated based on his chosen words and manner of speaking. I think he is creating a character of a crazy McGiver combined with Alan Quartermaine and guess what? Everybody loves it- like or hate him- we are all listening when he starts talking.
I agree... He is a character, created or not.. Something tells me he has a screw loose. That is not necessarily a bad thing. Every great person has been accused of having a screw or two loose. His happens to be on the quest of capturing a Bigfoot. More power to you Jim!
ReplyDeleteI think the poster above nailed it very well. Anyone who has been involved in television production {as I have} knows you have to have an angle or a gimmick so to speak. Something "outrageous". Just look at the ridiculous reality TV shows on with the multitude of "ignorant" people on them, who everyone says, Oh, I can't stand that show or person. Yet, people DO watch, and the shows ARE a success. You can't put some ordinary "Joe" up there and have a hit. The idea that Jim Lebus is a made up fictional character is brilliant. Look, his ridiculous over the top attire, all of his "weapons", and the way he presents himself is enough to make people take notice. Secondly, his mannerisms and demeanor don't necessarily match his portrayed persona in my opinion. I think we're gonna see alot more of this Jim Lebus, and I wouldn't be to surprised if he actually gets some results out there. Worst case scenario, he doesn't get results, but he's got a multitude of people watching him make his attempt....just my 2cents...
ReplyDeleteHe has no "team of experts." They are not secret agents. He has no "team of scientists." He does not have "many members who specialize in many fields." He has no "ground team," nor any air team...
ReplyDeleteHe did, however, manage to say "expedition" 8 times...
Jim, stop being stupid. Stop lying.

ReplyDeleteJim appears to be an intelligent man,I have no doubt.
ReplyDeleteHe's articulate and despite all the gear and tough looks,I definitely see he has a kind nature.
To me he really doesn't need the persona to get his point across,but in T.V. land it's what works.
However,I do prefer substance over flash any day of the week.
He makes survival videos in his backyard. Reminds me of an episode of always sunny in philidelphia.
ReplyDeleteDouche vs. fat guy. Who will find imaginary creature first?
