The Nocturnists · Burn the Map with David Elkin, MD · 16 Nov 2021 podcast

We'd freeze to death.

So I got really anxious 'cause I'd been in a few situations like that in my early twenties and I said, Well

What did you do?

And he said, Well, you know, we finally realized we had something, one thing that we could burn.

But that was our map.

And if we burned our map.

We'd never find our way back the next day.

So now I'm getting really anxious.

I'm like, so what happened?

And he said, well, we finally figured it out.

He said, we didn't need to burn the whole map.

We just needed to burn the part that we didn't need.

And that's what we did.

We tore it really carefully.

And we did that by the the last lights of the sun, because we didn't have any flashlights.

And we just started this tiny little fire and we put some wet twigs on.

And we just crossed our fingers, and eventually we started this small fire, and then it got bigger.

And then eventually we were able to start some logs on fire and then we just started bringing wet wood over all and then we did that all night long.

And we just kept the fire going.

And he said, You know, we were cold at times, but we kept watch and actually we weren't that bad.
