Pt 3 "Moonscape Backpacking" by Nutnfancy

Firemaking in progess as Part 3 picks up and you'll see if my paper thin wood shavings with the Mora TopQ worked or not with flint and steel. I wanted us to use natural methods only this time and we find it more time consuming and iffy, even in this good weather. After midnite the fire roars after all the works. We have chance to dry the feet out and get in some fireside chat on some interesting subjects (stay in your car!). The night is peaceful and solitude up here is complete, full moon still blazing brightly. I show you our shelter choices and discuss the specifics. Somewhere along the way I get even with Cr0cket for all the bad air he'd been pushing out. Then we get serious in the morning with lots of gear testing and making the always-tough TCE (time calorie energy) decisions. We are impressed with the Buck Hoodlum and it makes a perfect companion to the Sawvivor for minimizing work. Crosscutting the dense aspen log pretty much sucks but it gives the edges a good work out. Lots more testing ensues but as always the clock runs out on Moonscape Part 3! //////////////////////////Music licensed to TNP from Jason Shaw.
