this isnt too relevant to survival but an outdoors story and one of my favorite things/moments to experience.
me and the boy {8yrs old} hiked a few miles back into the woods and where cooking hot dogs over a fire last night and the coyote chorus started in as soon as the sun went down.couldnt have been more than 75 yards away, probably less.sounded like they where right next to us.
happens all the time.nothing new but something about them boys and their rallying cry to go hunting just makes me feel good.
their is something magical and primitive about it.it raises the hair on my neck in a good way everytime.no fear involved.
and while they are extremely prevalent and their calls can be heard any night i always find it a privilege to be out their with them and share the same dark corner of the woods on the same dark night.
the boy really gets a kick out of howling back at them...lol.
their are a lot of other cool animals in them woods but they just dont speak for all to hear ya know??
i'm sure soon after that rallying/hunting cry something small and furry became dinner.
we often try to share things with our ancestors and get back to nature in many different traditional ways.
what better way than to share a dark night under the stars in the wilderness,huddled around a fire,listening to the sounds of the forest most prevalent predator.
every time,i share something with all man kind from the past.from 100 to 10,000 years ago.
magical.
