Actually smarter then us because they can live off the land and remain hidden. They are one with the Earth, much as dolphins are. We, as humans, need technology to survive, where as they don't.
I know, crazy thinking, or is it?
I agree.
If it's accepted these things exist, their continued existence is based on far-more than just an intelligence similar-or better,
than humans. The beings we call 'Bigfoot' don't 'survive' out in the forests, that's our term that we perceive them as and this
compounds an assumption that they are animal-like.
With a shaggy outer-coating, a lack of what we would accept as a domicile and an assumed failure to use fire, degrades
the idea that they are 'enlightened' in the manner we accept. Humans tend to think that if no animal wear clothes, they
therefore are lower in the ability to acquire and apply knowledge along with skills.
You are correct in putting 'survive' in quotes. They don't "survive" in the wilderness, they "live" there - just as surely as we live in our houses, rather than merely "survive" in them.
I'm not so sure they are entirely devoid of technology, though. My son sent me the following photos from his patch in West Virginia. He is of the opinion that the marks were created by a Bigfoot living in his world. The marks appear to me to have been made by an axe, but they are too far off the ground to have been made by a man with an axe. My son, in the photo, is 6' 6" tall, putting the marks around 8 or 9 feet off the ground. note that the marks are horizontal, rather than angled as a man with an axe would have left at that height.
Now, I'm not saying that Bigfoot went down to Home Depot and bought an axe. It could have been a stone axe, like a hand axe, or a stolen iron axe from one of the homesteads around there - But I am as sure as can be that the marks were made by some sort of axe, and that they are at the wrong angle for a normal sized human to make at that distance from the ground.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
