Fenndamentals: Examining Forrest Fenn's Treasure Poem
Fenndamentals: Examining Forrest Fenn's Treasure Poem
In this video I get back to the Fenndamentals and examine the poem Forrest Fenn published in his memoir, The Thrill of the Chase. Since the book’s release, hundreds of thousands have gone searching for Forrest Fenn’s hidden treasure. In addition to fundamental poem trivia, I break down where in the poem the nine clues potentially reside and present an alternative way to think about the poem.

I first looked at this poem in late 2016. A lot of the more trivia aspects are from my early analysis. Back then, I was more in the camp of "9 sentences, 9 clues." Clearly, I’ve evolved my opinion in light of more research and numerous quotes. If I may be so bold, how do you use the poem to identify a general area to help identify or confirm the first clue?
You have a good idea of understanding the poem, most searchers. distort, rearrange or don’t understand what the poem really is. Its a map, a map in word form. If you have seen City Slickers 2, the map in that movie is also descriptive but also pictorial. People need to understand, all clues are in order, kept simple. But some refuse to believe that, and that is why they still haven’t found the chest.
And take it ……..? the canyon …….?
That was a great break down of the poem, thanks for sharing!
Here is the simple, one-picture, two-step solution: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u6pbe4edgs96g4j/Using%20the%20Poem&20as&20Map.jpg?dl=0
The word that was key is "blaze", that referred to 3 locations: Angel Fire, NM; the blaze location in the poem, and the final blaze on the ground in the Carson National Forrest in New Mexico. "It" in the poem Stanza 2 means the cut-out of the poem that you use as a map. – – – –

Good video, but I saw one thing that you and I would disagree with in your video, but it’s your solve. And, also a comment you made below, I have issues with that was well, but it’s your solve. I don’t have the chest on me, so who’s to say. Good video though!! 🙂
