An early release for Thanksgiving week! Ira relates a tale of life in remote tribal lands on an island in the Philippines - of living with the locals, learning their customs and languages, and working alongside them. After a ceremony with the tribal shaman, their worksite was visited by a tall, hairy, entity known locally as the Kapre - the guardian of the forest. Is the Kapre what we would call a bigfoot"?
