One article said that the scientists were looking for foreigners to join the hunt.  They wanted men &#8220;between 25 and 40 years old. With good physical health, they should also have a basic knowledge of biology and know how to use a camera&#8221;.<span id="more-2252"></span></p>
<p>The article also mentioned that people with previous outdoors experience would be  preferred.  This strange endeavor has piqued my curiosity.   It has also roused my love of the outdoors.  I greatly enjoyed working as a tree-planter in British Columbia.</p>
<p>I have decided that I want to join the yeti hunters.  I haven&#8217;t figured out how to do it yet, but I&#8217;m going to contact them and ask them if they want to give me  a job.  Wouldn&#8217;t that be the coolest job ever? I would get to go to China, practice my chinese, run around in the Himalayas all day every day, take pictures, write about it, and get paid!</p>
<p>If they&#8217;ll take me, I&#8217;m so in.</p>
<p>I could actually write on my resume that I was a yeti hunter.</p>
<p>To inspire all the other would-be yeti-hunters, here is a video of a man who claims to have had an encounter with a blonde sasquatch in North Carolina.</p>
