Just got caught up again and had to make a late comment about the honey tree. I'm surprised that they were only interested in the honey as a sweetener and calorie source when honey has so many medicinal uses. Just off the top of my head I know it is good for sore throats and coughs, and it is a natural antiseptic, so good for wound treatment and it helps with blood circulation and rehydration after bouts of vomiting and diarrhea as well.

Glad you got caught up!

I’m sure they will end up using some of the honey medicinally, as they are aware of its benefits as an antiseptic and in wound healing. Their interest in the honey primarily as an energy source comes from their experience with previous winters during which they had barely enough to eat at times, if that. When you’re low on calories and having a hard time keeping warm, a bit of concentrated sugar like that can literally be a life saver. But yes, the honey has many other uses!

Ugh, the misery, battered by hail and being wet, cold and still. Finally free of that and now Einar is fallen out on the trail somewhere. I sure hope they have a cache around there.

No caches in that area. Their main cache is slightly below the cabin, they are currently far above it…

oh no, when they get separated, it never turns out good! too bad they did not use some of their homemade cord and tie themselves to each other.

Only problem with that is that if one of them slips in the mud and falls, they’re likely to drag the other along with them.

Poor EA has gotten seperated from his wife, and now they are both at greater risk. They together are certainly much greater than their sum.
But he'll turn up, or she'll backtrack and find him, and shelter, and all will be well.
I hope.

Yes, hopefully one or the other…
