Woods Walker
The Wood is cut, The Bacon is cooked, Now it’s tim
Technology can be a good thing. I was bushwhacking looking for a spot to camp today.
Started the usual stuff. Water, wood and power is what my shelter runs on.
These hard wood saplings will be more than enough to ride out the storm. There was a winter storm warming but don't generally change my plans based on that alone.
Looking like a good spot. Been here before. It gets sun and water isn't too far away. In fact very near.
Surrounded by Hemlocks which can be a problem in very high winds but not too worried at this point.
Setup with a nice storm pitch.
Then noticed the winter storm warning was canceled. The problem being it was replaced with a blizzard warning on the phone. There is really two things I realistically fear in the New England wood. Ticks and high winds. Read gusts up to 70 miles per hour. That's it. I am out. I have been forced to hunker down from such weather before but this time was within striking distance of the truck. Packed it all up and headed back. Fenix HL50 doing it's job.
Drove back home and did the gas fill up prepper thing for the generator as odds are the power will go out.
Bottom line. Dying isn't surviving. It's just dying. If you feel like something isn't going to end well being someplace else is a good option. I will be heading back out to the same area in a few days. Should be a fun time then.
