I'm really worried about Steph. I hope she is okay. Damn!
"A sharp pointy stick can be as good as a knife. In the bush there is an argument. What is better an axe or a knife? I was always an axe guy." I say to Jay.
"Yes, shelter first. Then look." I agree with him.
I start in on braiding long grasses and thin creeper vines for cordage. Not my best skill. I've seen girls braid hair while not even looking. I have to concentrate hard. It takes me a couple of more hours but some useable pieces come out of it.
I find myself looking out in to the jungle listening. Damn! Silly girl!
Shelter is easy. Leave four good bamboo for corner posts, then start lashing a floor two feet off the ground. Sloping roof. Then weave, or in my case sort of weave sticks and fronds in.
Between Jay and myself it is up by mid afternoon.
