    If lost, cold or wet sleeping through the night is probably not going to happen. Gathering wood and cutting in to pufect lengths comes at a cost of energy. If no saw or ax trying to brake wood in to smaller peaces the risk of injury goes way up. In such cases long poles and as they burn off putting the end in saves time and energy. A back stop of rotten log or stump or tree will keep embers till morning and not go through a ton of wood, the tree my catch fire but hay you're lost not a priority at the moment and they'll find you faster.

    No one on their death bed ever said; I should have spent more time at work.

    Almost got my 2nd wolf of the season....my son and I saw it at 9:30 in the morning on a FSR, couldn't believe it, big and long, it took off just before I got a shot off...we then waited, then followed it into the thick timber until we hit an opening, then tried to call it in...there was no wind...but we had no luck.
