Absolutely beautiful!Fantastic work.And I do mean work.I wonder how many people realize how much work is actually involved?Congratulations,great job!

Yes,this is their main food.Apparently humans can eat it,but I've never tried it or heard of anyone that has.I recall reading somewhere how it's prepared but honestly didn't pay any attention as this...

Since I'm an evil smoker,I naturally always have a bic on me plus an extra stashed in every jacket,parka & pack that I own,as well as other methods for making fire.Of course I'd still carry this...
