Nothin wrong with nothing along but sometimes you godda eat. That's where us Canucks might have an advantage. We get survival ed. from grade 1 to 6. It's a need with all the wilderness up here. Winter is a bit more advanced but there is food everywhere up here. It's free too!
I've had to re-fuel the body while out sleddin a couple of times and was glad of the early ed. I think it was a grade 2 field trip that the teach showed us how Chickadees huddle together in the lower branches when cold. Usually 4 or 6. Grab em, skin em, and gulp em (closer to chicken than you might think).
Warmer days bring out the squirrels. You need grade 3 and 4 hunting technique here (all ways a stick to sharpen around and the rock throwing competitions you get from grade 2 on can come in handy). Skin em, split em, and enjoy. I like patting them with pine nuts for added flavour (something you might try). Chances are this is a big enough meal you will forget about your supper when you get home.
A very refreshing, energy boosting drink is grab some lichen off a rock face, spread out your tinfoil ( a grade 2 class teaches you about keeping tinfoil, little knife and matches in your pocket at all times after you walk out the door to school) onto your pipe. lay in the lichen and add snow until it stops melting. Voila, fortified ice tea.
Thought I'd pass on some Canadian "general info". All the cabins we have up here are mostly for international visitors. If we are in them it is just to be hospitable not because we need them.
Hope you are having a great summer.
