Late Night Foraging


I got out with my dog and cut some river cane for arrow making the other day.


 
A few days later I headed out again with my good buddy Alex for a little hunting and gathering. We started out by cutting some nice osage orange wood for Alex's first longbow.







After cutting through this incredibly dense wood we severed some wild grape and quenched our thirst with the purest water which flowed from the freed vine.


Later, we managed a couple of shots and some pretty good stalks on small game. Though we had no luck hunting, we sure had fun!
After sunset we went back out again in search of other seasonal foods. By the time the night was through we had olives, walnuts, bay leaves, citrus, and pomegranates. Not a bad harvest!


Keep the old ways alive!
