Olga cuts down two trees in a half hour. Their trunks are both ≥ 7" in diameter. The sound of the trunks creaking and crackling is a great satisfying sound to Olga. The zvryma seem to have mostly attended the remains of the dismantled corpse that Olga left behind, though a few are watching patiently in the trees.
Realizing that he has no way to carry his stuff, Veho ventures into the forest to find an animal to kill and use its skin to make a bag or a rucksack. He digs a hole near the forest edge, puts his potatoes and crabs in it, and covers it with leaves and tufts of grass.
Veho spots a group of three mountain goats searching for food in the rocky areas north of him.
«Veho has discovered the SoudowekΨ.»
Aesc takes his adze and begins going to work at felling some trees- particularly ones that aren't too thick. He also surveys the area to gauge just how much long swamp grass there is.
Aesc is currently standing in deep mud. There is some swamp grass, but it's mostly underwater. He begins chopping at the swamp cedars. He chops one down and it falls into the swamp.
The swamp water is particularly cold due to the fact that mush of the water is newly-melted snow runoff.
With 5 logs cut, Olga drags them back to her stuff one by one. She uses her axe to cut slots into the logs so that they fit together so that each log end could be the vertice of a wide wedge.
She tests the stability of the frame and finds that it is a bit loose at the base. The poles need to be deeper underground. Otherwise, the structure itself is very stable.
Olga begins gathering kindling for a fire, along with branches and sticks. She brings the haul back, and places the branches in a resting position against the top of the log structure as to act as a rudimentary wall. She repeats this process of collecting, hauling, and placing until it's essentially complete, save for the front and back. Olga removes her tunic halves and deposits the meat onto them along with the beehive. The tegacha berries have, at this point, been mashed into the hive to the point where it's a jam. She eats the larvae and bees as a snack and leaves the hive itself with the meat. With her rucksack now empty, save for the knife, she digs a level foundation for a fire. The soil that she digs up is fashioned into a wall on the side not being dug to create a very small lee that she can create an ember in, and she begins attempting to make an ember.
Within a few minutes, the fire is cheerily burning.
Adok starts a fire with his kindling and attempts to cook the crab over it.
Adok cooks the crab. It doesn't have much flavor at all.
Where's the garlic butter sauce?
After Kamila finishes the frame, she puts the needled pine on top as a makeshift roof for the hut that she made.
Since it's still daylight, she feels tired and loads more wood into the fire and sleeps beside it.
