It's already cool outside, the first snow fell, winter Is Coming. To keep warm I will have to make a fire in the wet forest and make a small shelter. Jack-o'-lantern and non-alcoholic mulled wine will help me to add color in this day.
I take a walk next to Kama. The water looks very cold, giant stumps are thrown ashore, the fishing piers stand alone. On the shore - only my footprints in the first snow. The atmosphere is very quiet and calm, secluded. In the forest next to the river it is amazingly beautiful - the snow has covered the ground, but through it you can see moss, lichen, evergreen berry bushes, mushrooms. I am not happy with only one thing - all the branches, even hidden under the crowns of trees, are wet through and through.
I make a small but cozy shelter out of the awning, take out my sleeping bag. I go into the forest in search of bark and suitable branches. I have to collect more birch bark, I put lichen nearby - it will dry out quickly and help at first. I remove the bark from the branches, choose the driest ones, and quietly persuade the fire to light up. And (hurray!) I light a fire with one match!
Jack-o'-lantern is next. I draw outlines with soot on a pumpkin, I work with carving knives. It turns out that it is very convenient to get pumpkin seeds with a spoon knife! I cook non-alcoholic mulled wine, in fact, tea with spices and fruits. It warms up perfectly in such chilly weather.
Now everything is ready, I can bury yourself in a sleeping bag and enjoy nature while sipping a drink. Old Jack is shining, he, as far as I can tell, also likes everything.
