secure camp and wood then talk. good
And spiritman misses out on ANOTHER scenario! DANG IT
I'll write you in. You were knocked unconcious, we moved you up by the fire and Owl-Girl is bringing you back with a bamdana dipped in the cool Lake water. What gear did you bring?;)Quote:

Ya know what would make a good smoke signal, one of them thar rubber tires on that non flying machine we came in on.
What have we pulled from our bent up tin can? Radio, battery, wires?
I'm hungry!
What's on the spit, pilgrim?
I might be walking a little slow, but I'm walking. Let's set some traps.
Curious, how many hours were we in the air and about how fast were we going? Which way were we heading? And the pilot better be glad he's dead, not filing a flight plan or keeping his flying death can maint. up.
Oh, did I say I'm hungry?
I don't know for sure how long we were flying because I don't know how long we were unconcious, and I don't know which direction because I wasn't watching the compass. You can strip the plane if'n ya want. Also we can set some snares as their's plenty of wiring in the plane. Who do you want to go with you? You should have a back-up person to help. We also need somebody who's knowledgeable about the edible plants in this region. If SM ever comes too he might help, who knows? Owl-Girl knows her stuff about herbs, she should be good in the field. I'd like to keep RiM with me to help get those cushions out of the plane, if you don't mind! Maybe we can think of a way to get that busted-up wreck up on shore, we need to get into that luggage compartment as well as get to the gas tank and get one of those tires, although I think I see one of them busted off a few feet from the plane.
Sure thang.
Since you want RiM, how bout Trax and I pull some wires and set some traps for critters.
I'm on the radio, going to pull it along with the radio and a few fuses. May try to wire it straight to the battery and give it a try. May need to use some wire, run it through trees for an antenna?
Once I do this, someone at camp can get on it, hopefully the bat. last a little while.
We either go out and set traps, hunt, or look for berries. To do all at once will be useless.
Trax, you any good at snares? I figure if'n we set up enough with all this wire, we are bound to catch something.
We can also look for a few good sticks for spears. Hell, we have enough knives.
Anybody have a pad and pen? we can make a crude map locating any berry bushes and such.
there should be more then enough wire thru the plane. What about the sit down and talk? guess were past that. I watched a local hunting show here on pbs to night got down to 36f they were where we are. chicken lake? golden eagle lodge? ringe a bell trax? they caught some amazing pike.........
Sarge,
You can sit down, I'll stand. Hahahahahaha.............
I’d be happy to help but I doubt I know any more then you guys. From what I’ve seen a lot of the people on this forum know a lot about plants. I’m very interested in the subject of plants and I’ve picked up a few things but I’m not an expert.Quote:

Owl Girl,
Ya may want to look under rocks and in a few dead trees for grubs, worms, and other fish food to bait them thar hooks.
Lol of courseQuote:

RiM: I think we did talk, FVR said what he & WE are gonna do, and they sound the most qualified for the job. That radio idea ain't half bad. Do you need any help?
TRAX, where the dickens are you, I need to know what you hid in that luggage compartment. If you want any coffee you have better brought it, did anyone else? I'm a tea man myself. I don't think this group needs a leader, just let everybody do what they're good at.
FVR, take who ever else you want. I don't know if SM's gonna make it or not, can't get him to wake up at all! RiM said he saw some rabbit sign and trails when he was out gathering wood. I Got an MRE you can have if you need it, I can stand to lose a few lbs. and anyway the stench of that dead pilot is not helping my appetite at all. I'm working on a kitchen and sleeping quarters over here. We'll save your Wild Turkey for medicinal purposes if that' all right with you. Anybody got any extra water bottles? We need to keep boiling water and storing it, we got several people going to get real thirsty soon, especially the guys who drank the alcohol. Gotta wonder if moving the plane will be worth the energy spent doing it.
Owl Girl, fishing is a great idea; have you ever done any fly-fishing?
I don't know about anyone else but do you realize we just survived a plane crash now i know we have been getting by on adrenaline but i have just experience adrenaline dump i hurt and I'm exhausted so I'm calling it a night let's sort this out in the morning when we are all better rested.
RiM did a great job pulling out all those seat cushions for mattress pads; stretch out and lay down, catch some Z's...No cuddling with Owl Girl without her permission of course!:rolleyes:Quote:

Show Owl Girl how to run a trout line. Here's the line, some "split-shot" and a bunch of "snelled hooks". Maybe we can catch a few fish to go along with whatever else we can get. Anybody know how to make a "deer snare"?:rolleyes:Quote:
