" I learn to season my food"
" I finished my bed today. The ash slats work very well, and are quite springy and comfortable. The bed just fits in the right-hand of the tree.I have hemlock boughs on it now, but hope to have deer hide soon. I am making a figure-four trap as tall as me with a log on it that I can barely lift. It doesn't look workable. I wish there was another way of getting a deer." -
