A cold chill hangs in the air during the predawn hours that slowly saunter by as I creep cautiously towards that one towering tree that will be home for that fateful opening day. The frigid textured steel greets my exposed hands with a rough hello as the ascent to my treestand begins. Finally, as my body shudders from lack of warmth the platform is underneath my feet and I begin to layer on camouflage clothing. Without archery hunting or any type of hunting I lack stress relief as I…
and have perforated holes no bigger than 2 mm. The mesh catches traps flying embers, but does not ignite because it is made of metal. Once you have made the right choice about your gap sizes, you can also prevent fire taking hold by treating your wood decking slats too. Seal The…
been awhile since I shifted into my wolf, she has been begging to get out. My wolf Lacy was beautiful, she is while all over with black lightly on top of her fur on some parts, but darker on others like her face. I set down by the entrance to the woods and wait for the…
squirrels vs chipmunks It was in the middle of the summer when Nelson heard stomping coming closer and closer to them . Nelson looked down and saw a herd of chipmunks coming. Nelson got in his armor and grabbed his shield and sward. He told all the squirrels to get ready for battle. All of the squirrels climbed down the tree and stood in formation. They all marched closer to each other. When the chipmunk leader said that they just needed some acorns for the winter because they took all…
Oct. 2017 “The Woods” Today was finally the day I was going to go to the woods and adventure with some friends. I had been looking forward to this day since all the way from January. It was now February and I had already packed a week before. I was now on my way to Gary’s house. Mike and Ben had already arrived there before me. “Finally your here” said Gary with a mad look. He was always the impatient one in our group. It was 3:50 pm and we had planned to be in the woods by 3:30 so I…
1. WANDA TODAY, Monday, Wanda Petronski was not in tier seat. But nobody, not even Peggy and Madeline, the girls who started all the fun, noticed her absence. Usually Wanda sat m the next to the last seat in the last row in Room 13. She sat in the corner of the room where the rough boys who did not make good marks on their report cards sat; the corner of the room where there was most scuffling of feet, most roars of laughter when anything funny was said, and most mud and dirt on the floor. Wanda…
“Now, today I will be teaching you all about the basics of grappling. We have some grappling hooks for all of you and we will begin to take turns scaling this large wall one at a time.” Goodfellow showed us how the hooks worked. They were made from heavy iron and braided fiber rope. We had to twirl them through the air to launch them up to the top of the wall. Then we had to place our feet against it and start climbing up. It took a few practices, but I began to pick up on it pretty quickly.…
On Saturday November 17th I went and observed the local woods of the Back 40 on the Messiah College campus in Grantham Pennsylvania, the block of land there is actually home to white tail deer and other mammals. The woods change quite drastically as one moves farther from the yellow breaches where deciduous sycamore trees and conifers such as tamaracks are common to a more mature oak forest. The weather leading up to this observation had been relatively wet and rainy, the leaves on the ground…
The True Meaning of a Partisan The characters Ben, me, the 5 soldiers and their dogs, various partisan men, and Ben Kam are taking place in this story. The settings take place mostly in the forest but during the epic throw down is placed in the ghetto. The major conflicts are between the soldiers and the partisan but can also be between the narrator and his understanding of the partisans. The day began as usual, we made sure no guards were near and all our supplies were filled. The wind…
build things yourself, then you may already be familiar with the woods that are available to you. Ideally, for your next project you will have a good idea of what type of wood you want to use, but if you don't, you'll have to figure this out. This may seem like a setback, but whether you have build something before or are new to this, it is really a chance to be reminded of or learn about the benefits associated with the many wood species out there. Here's what you should consider when…
