the 10x16 ft producer's tarp can be your shelter for the first 2-3 weeks, It wont be colder than 40F and then only at night. Use one corner of the tarp to line the stone-boiling pit for your water. Once boiled, remove the layer of grasses and the stones, Fold over that corner of the tarp so as to keep bird crap and bugs out of your boiled water. In 2-3 weeks, you'll have made the 5 pots, 1.5 gallons each, out of baked clay,, with their gasketed, close-fitting, numbered lids.

That is some beautiful country my friend. Fall is an amazing time of the year. The colors are beautiful and the rock formations are amazing too. I hope you both enjoyed your trip.

by getting adequate food in your belly (mixed with the rations and salt) the fish and cambium give you the strength needed to go like hell for 10 days or so and that's what you need to do in order to get things properly set up, soon enough, Not long after freezing temps arrive, the bears will be hibernating

when you know to take the big roll of Gorilla tape, you can cut up your 12x12 tarp and the reflective tyvk bivy into strips, cut slits in the piecs, make netting out of the cotton rope hammock (as much as allowed) for the center of the seine and have 60x3-4 ft wide seine and a baited weir. You can be eating plenty of fish and cambium every day, by day 4-5. Butcher the fish in the weir and tie tarp and tape bait bags to the far end of the inside of the purse of the weir. The more blood and guts you spill there, the more fish you will catch. The tree blind, and the bait box for bear is the win, man. You only need to catch about 100 lbs of fish in the first month and that's nothing much. After 1-2 weeks, it'll be too cold to wade in the water, so you''ll have to devote a day to making the pontoon outrigger raft. Use the backpack and the 3 sets of coveralls, stuffed with debris, sewn and taped. Tie one to each corner of the 6 ft long, 4" OD logs. Then all you need is 2 logs, 4" OD, 10 ft long as your "keel", 2 logs, 4" OD, 6 ft long for your cross logs and 3 logs, 7 ft long, 6" OD as your diagonal brace logs. Put some small logs across the keel logs to keep your feet up out of the water, Sharpen the log ends to minimize drag. Lash the camera case to some short logs and sit on it. One hour makes a paddle handle for the Cold steel shovel, with a lanyard hole so you can't lose it.

the tape lets you reassemble the bivy as a sleeping bag and clothing. Half of your 12x12 tarp becomes your sleeping tent. The "wings' of your fish weir are made of rocks, sticks and boughs. Eventually, the purse and "v" of the weir can likewise be made, , Once you've rendered down the blood, marrow and fat of the bear, the win will be in your pocket, So you can get LOTS of face-time doing what nobody else has known or been able to do. You only CLEAR 1/4 million of the prize, so you'll have to also write a book, teach classes, and have a much bigger channel if you want to no longer work a regular job.
