With the river being up and dangerous, you just can't leave home TOO prepared.
Before tomorrow morning, round up some water proof matches, some kindling and store in plastic baggie, a small pan to heat/sterilize water to make it pottable, a skillet, skewers, barbque sauce, and some bell peppers.
That way, in case you get washed up on an island with Clairday, and think you might be there for several days without food or water.
You'll have everthing you need.
A Clairday is fatter and slower than any game animal you might encounter. It's legs already contain gravy, and with the proper fire, bell peppers and barbque sauce...Dem ribs should last you several days.
If you're lucky, He even washed up on shore with a case of beer.![]()
