Day 3: 8:15pm Dec 12, Tuesday
Well tonight I made camp about 50 meters from the road. I figured since I was cooking meat I should put more distance between me and the road. I also made several exits off the road in hopes that if I was being stalked it would be harder to find me.
I believe I walked about 12-15kms today but hard to tell. I stopped several times to hunt and process game. Plus my detours to hide where I was sleeping cost me distance as well.
I am not sure how much food everyone had but I do know this. I have not heard any shots and you can only haul so much food on a sled. So doing the math means the folks behind me and in front of me could be looking at food shortages. People act weird when their hungry and I don’t need any issues.
I was able to get a partridge around 4:00pm so that’s a major plus. If this keeps up I will be just fine. I would like to find a river and do some fishing but that’s a lot of kms away from here, so red meat will have to do for now.
I ate the whole rabbit it was so good! And I found a O-Henry bar in my parka which I also put down the hatch. It’s been in there for a year but it still taste pretty good. So in total today I ate from my food stores: 1 bag of oatmeal, 2 jerkies, 2 cereal bars, and used 1 tea bag. Am going to have a coffee tomorrow! That should brighten my day. Besides eating the rabbit and chocolate bar I have been running on only a few calories a day and I think it’s starting to effect me. I had some trouble making camp tonight. Just not feeling myself.
I still haven’t opened the Faraday Box yet. No need until I get closer to a town or I need to travel at night.
I drank a gallon of water today but I think I need more. I have to find some way of gathering more water. Streams are too far apart and I will need all the water I can get. Maybe there will be a container in Jeff’s truck.
Fingers crossed.
