Finally made it out for a bit today to the Platte River bottoms.
Shot a few videos, but come to find out the new camera doesn't do so well with volume when you get away from the camera! So you'll have to turn your volume up for the first video.

Set up a quick lean to with my BCUSA 5x7 Tarp.
Cutlery used today, 12" Ontario Machete and Ray Laconico Bushcrafter
After the flint and steel firecraft, from the video, Charred some punk wood, as it was damp and wouldn't light as is.
Then prepped some cordage material (hemp) and let dry for a bit, then started using the 2 strand twist. Made it on the small side, so I can use it for a primitive fishing set up.
Then went walk about and took some pictures, and took in the sites!
Mullen, Mullen, Mullen seems to be everywhere around here
Some Milkweed flowers! Yummy! Also seems to be everywhere.
Good looking Russian Olive
Whole lot of tinder from this dead Cottonwood
Some flowers I took shots of
No idea on the kind of mushroom, but they looked cool.
Some of the bounty from the mulberry tree
Spooked out lots of deer today, but didn't get any photos. But here's some very fresh tracks, I watched them make them!
And a couple river shots, the water is about 4 foot up from normal, and in places is flooding very badly.
And it was time to get going, as the sky was getting dark quick! And being that we had 23 tornados last monday within 15 miles of here, I wasn't sticking around!
