Looks good, can't wait to see more. That trail looked like it was a joy to walk down.
You don't need toilet paper if you have snow.

Continuing the saga of epic toilet paper failure.
So the tent was set up and firewood gathered. We had placed a good amount of spruce twigs under the tent for insulation and comfort. Then it was the time to eat. My better half began to prepare a meal on the fire while I started figuring some extra things for the camp.
First, a lean-to for gear we didn't want in the tent. And for dried firewood.

And a reflector for the fire. I used a space blanket. Worked wonderfully.

I also figured a way for us to have "running" water. And threw the camo net on it just because it was nostalgic from the army times...

The dark arrived pretty quickly, hence the hurry to get the camp set.

That little red dot is where our camp was. That's a lantern with a red candle in it. Burned for 12h. It was there just in case neither of us had to go out for a leak and couldn't find back. That's easy to spot from a good distance.

Later we made some tea and went to bed. We didn't have the fire burning through the night cause of the lack of good firewood. We used two more space blankets in the tent to give us extra warmth and everything worked well. It wasn't hot in the tent, but neither was it freezing.

The next morning was beautiful. We woke up around 8:30am, at sunrise. We made breakfast and some tea. Then I grabbed my .22 and she her camera and we went for a tour around the land.

There wasn't any snow under the spruces but on the rocky hills and more open land there was.

Picture my Prettier half took of me with my cell. I can tell you, the bandanna was pretty good headgear!

When the tour was over she urged me to create us a functioning toilet solution. I reminded her of our lack of toilet paper. She pulled full pack of napkins out of her pocket and told me to just get it done. Which I did.
It was extremely nostalgic to do this. So back in the army days. I even sent this photo to one of my mates in the forces just for the fun of it... I must tell you, this solution was really comfy!

Cool, and even a little cold looking Pic's!

Nice pics. Thanks for the views.
You are welcome. Btw, do you think there is anything more refreshing than to sit on a good sh*t lath (direct translation by wiki) in sub-zero temps?

Ummmmm - I can think of several things that might be more refreshing. A cold beer comes to mind.
Walking in the house with your pants down and a tree limb frozen to your *** is bound to cause some questions to be asked. Yeah, and I can think of a lot of things better.

Rick you have to tie the branch on the place you want it to stay, just for that....

I would call it a crap stick, or crap pole. Latrine is good as well. Obviously you didn't tell your girlfriend to use snow. Now that is refreshing.
I loved the pictures. Reminds me of the forests in Poland with all the small pine trees close together.

Sh*t lath, I'll have to remember that, nice pics and it looks like a good time.
