Mark makes first fire spit. Murray slices a banana with the hatchet SCROMLETS!!! Wood pot hangers made out of branches prove to be very useful! Mark fabricates a chair out of logs. It is far more substantial than Mikes attempt in past years. A log, with a rotten center, is strung between two trees with a rope running through it. As you lean up against it, it would roll on the rope and massage your aching back! Dave brings ingredients to make stew from scratch. Quite a bit of snow falls overnight. There was precipitation falling most of the trip. Dave finds that his poncho works well as it forms a "micro-environment" around him Mark, wearing an inverted plastic bag, makes a sign out of birch bark that says "F--K Gore-Tex. As the result of snow, Mike and Murray's trucks are buried behind a snow bank. Mike hikes out a day early to get a jump on shoveling out. After the hike out, Mike discovers that he had set the emergency brake and that it has frozen in place. After some rocking and rolling of the truck, it becomes free. Billy finds out that the cheap vinyl ponchos do not hold up well in cold weather. They crack! |
