Chris told me that the branches of evergreen trees were great for breaking the wind, as well as holding heat. Roughly a hour later, Chris returned without the Evergreens. He did bring with him, the beginning materials for a fire. Dead, tall grass and some SEMI-dry leaves.
Fire
As you can see, the quest for fire was difficult. Even for someone with experience like Chris. The cold weather, snow covered ground and wet materials all added up to a frustrating endeavor. Two cans of bug spray as our accelerant
A large mass of dry grass and many, many small twigs later. We had a decent fire going.
Alas it was not meant to be... Even the best fires no matter how skilled the builder is go out when everything is sopping wet1 Likes, 0 , 0 , 0
