Pictures...

We are currently in the middle of camp Yellowknife. In this week we practice the basic skills of camping that you might take for granted like setting up a tarp, making a good cooking fire, lashings etc. Here the campers are learning to use rawhide rope to transport bundles of goldenrod to a shelter.
We also have a mystery track.... is it a raccoon or a fisher? It measured 1 3/4 inches long which is on the low end of either animal. My guess is raccoon but others are arguing for the fisher. For those that aren't familiar with the north eastern wildlife, fishers are big stout weasels that have huge ranges. They are similar to wolverines but not as nasty.
