R2, ‘Tabasco wet wipes would keep things lively. :D’

Wetwipes laced with tabasco left lying around camp, that is an evil thought sir:twisted:

Chorizo, why don’t Leatherman have awls anymore, my close up eyesight is crap now so a magnifying glass is really useful for thorns.

A mate that’s paranoid about getting lost and going hungry.

Sense of humor and a brew kit.

Hard candy, in the bottom of my pack otherwise it just gets eaten.

Spare truck key and cash.

Tabasco, wetwipes, spare dog whistle.

‘Dostoyevsky saved my life’ Don, did you use him as a fire lighter? or paste the pages together as a shelter?

Happy trails, Mark.

Print on demand sounds good, is there a parchment option?

I like to share books I have enjoyed and often lend or give away cant see this being possible with an ebook.

Packing a paperback is always useful for fire lighting.

That is nice, the pictures are in surprisingly good condition given that they are exposed to the elements. Researchers have been looking at cave paintings using different light sources that show faded detail and colors that are no longer visible it would be interesting to see if that revealed anything new on those rocks. Also lighting from different angles has shown that detail in the rocks has been used by the ‘artist’.

I’ll try and find a link to the article, it was only recent.

Were they using the peaks as vantage points waiting for game and is the art a record of what they saw, harvested or a note to others saying this is what we have seen here.

I’m unsure about the human raiders, when there is an abundance of game and natural resources they may well have met for trade and cooperation and have been related to other bands.

I like to try and put these pictures into context, although we will never know the truth of it.

Did the guy that painted that do it when he returned from the hunt to remember the passing of a hunting partner, family member or is it a warning to others ‘be careful of the big wooly thing it can hurt you’

And why is the bird there, was it there, does it have a spiritual aspect.

Ive only ever seen art and artifacts in museums would be cool to see it in real life to get a feel for the environment it was created in.

Mark.
