Bigfoot encounters as a young boy and teenager. He began conducting his own Bigfoot field research after a successful attempt to have a Bigfoot encounter during the Summer of 2004 while visiting the Arbuckle Mountains area of Oklahoma. Now, ten years later Farlan is quick to point out that he does not possess a background in Science nor even a college degree and comments, "It's not up to me to convince anyone of Bigfoot's existence, but I am very eager to share some of what I have learned." That having been said, he is still confident in his knowledge about Bigfoot and feels fortunate in having met several seasoned Bigfoot Field Researchers and educated men of science who have shared some of their own discoveries and ideas about Bigfoot with him. A theme common among many Bigfoot researchers is lifelong friendships being forged along the way due to a common interest in Bigfoot. Farlan claims that he is more comfortable referring to himself as a Bigfoot Enthusiast verses a Bigfoot Field Researcher. He believes DNA samples will someday prove not only Bigfoot's existence, but that they are very Human. Beyond this, he states that conclusive scientific proof of Bigfoot's existence won't make them any easier to see, never mind allowing researchers to study them up close. "I have come to believe Bigfoot will prove to be a type of people with their own languages, cultures and philosophies and not merely an unidentified Hominin.", says Farlan, adding, "This claim will be a hard pill for most to swallow and beyond difficult for mainstream science to ever quantify." When asked what is the most important thing he has gained from his Bigfoot research, Farlan answers with, "Their trust...and it would kill me to ever betray this trust."
