12 Hours of Darkness PART 2 - Military Surplus LBE, Wool Blanket, MRE
I return to #Camp Coyote to overnight packing my #militarysurplus LBE belt (load bearing equipment), MOLLE pouches (modular light-weight load-carrying equipment), wool blanket and an MRE. It is inclimate winter weather with sleet and freezing rain early and temperatures drop close to freezing over night. Firewood is a crucial component to keeping warm once the day is gone. I gather a lot of wood and make a #bushcraft chair for the shelter. It was a struggle to stay awake to keep the fire going all night and the quality of wood was not up to par. Having more hard wood would have made things better.
I found myself counting the hours until first light. I remember thinking "This is like 12 hours of darkness.....7 pm to 7 am. The cold and fatigue probably had an effect on my judgement, nevertheless, I made it through.
There were sounds of wildlife in the darkness as I did what was needed to survive the cold night. I wanted to prove to myself that I could make it all night with no sleep and no warm sleeping bag or sleep mat. It was a good learning experience and after all, I just enjoy being in the woods.
