And the native guy was like, oh, you know, I think there's a boot we left. You know, a few years ago, we left a boot like four kilometers that way. So we got the reindeer, took them, rode them over. Sure enough, there's a stump with a boot upside down. Pull it off, put it on. I was like sweeping back in business. Went back a couple days later, chopped it, cut your foot, cut my rubber boot.

And I was just like, dang it. And I was mad enough that I just grabbed the axe and swung it at the tree. And it just one-handed and deflected off and bam, right into my knee. Oh, no. And I was like, oh, I fell down. I was like, oh, my gosh. Because you get your axe really like razor sharp. And then just swung it into my knee. I didn't even want to look. I was like, oh, no.

I looked and it wasn't a huge wound because it had hit me. Right on the bone of my knee, but it split the bone, cut a tendon there, and I was out in the middle of the woods. So I literally, like, I knew I was in shock. I was like, I'm just going to go back to teepee right now. So I, like, ran back to teepee, laid down, and honestly, I was stuck there for a few days. That was...

It's so much pain, and my other knee was bad. It was rough. I literally couldn't even walk at all or move. There was a plastic bag. I had to poop in it and roll to the edge of the teepee, shove it under the moss. I was just totally immobilized.

There you go. It's such a lesson, too. There were so many of those. And I was always in a little bit over my head, but like I said, you kind of do that enough and you make a lot of mistakes. But every time you learn, now it's like an extension of my arm. That's not going to happen because I just know how it works now. You mentioned wet wood.

How do you start a fire when everything around you is wet? I mean, it depends on your environment, but I will say in most of the forests that I spend a lot of time in, in all the north woods, the best thing you can do is find a dead standing tree. So it can be downpouring rain and you chop that tree down.
