we took ourr trip down the west fork of the white river in indiana. the trip only takes a couple of hours but we took some time so we could say the night. i had a lot of fun practacing the fire making trade. the firesteel is the greatest. we made our shelter in between 2 large fallen trees.
(the whole setting on the river was surreal, i could look at roots of trees that had been washed over, under and around for years and envision things living there, twisted little bodies waiting to escape their wooden prison. the current carries you so swiftly, the large tree stumps look like they are passing you, inviting you to come straight towards them, an almost certain crash. listen and you can hear peacefulness, the crickets, the spyders, the byrds, hear the frogs and insects call out and jump in the bubbling current.
the only shelter we brought with us was a old rain fly from a tent it's lite and has bungies on (it for quick set upgreat fur )
this was a great item. we used it as a roof. and hung it from side to side with two very long sicks. we slept in sleeping bags in a sandy beach, on three side
we were surrounded by lager sections if their trunks.
this is most of the tools i had with me.
if you all like ill post more later thanks for looking.
