Whilst Woodsploring

In the Redmond Watershed with Tom, treasures! Somebody had chopped down an old yew tree for some unfathomable reason or another and had left its corpse behind. Yew is a fucking sweet wood - it's super flexible while remaining very strong, making it a choice wood for this area's indigenous, apparently. Thus, after much hacking and swearing we salvaged limbs to make our own bows (naturally. You're more than welcome to grow up on your own if you'd like). It was fun exploring in a wooded area I haven't ever been before - we found a smattering of bear sign (but no bears) and lots of cool feathers.

Venture Capital

My half-assed attempt at edible mushroom cultivation! Birch logs, salvaged from a downed tree near Basset Pond, have been sealed with bees wax in order to prevent future contamination though I'm worried that they've already been exposed to wild sporulation (which would compete with my introduced culture). I really have no idea what I'm doing.

If all goes well, in 6-9 months I will have my first flush of Shitake mushrooms! Living the dreeeaam.
