says to Juliana_____Scribe of th: Amongst yesterday's forage were some of the red berries of the yaupon-holly plant, which contain more caffeine, by weight, than blackwyne beans. I suck on half dozen of these as I attend to the various grooming and biological things common to mornings.*

says to ALL: *Today's task has to be hunting. I string my bow, check my arrow-fletchings and put 5 arrows into my quiver. I get dressed, and set out toward the west, using the no-trail trail I have established in that direction, which takes advantage of rocks, fallen branches, exposed roots and other impermeable surfaces to leave no visible trail of my passing for the first pasang distance away from the campsite.*

says to ALL: *With most of my gear stashed in my lean-to at the campsite, I am still sufficiently armed to meet most challenges. I am tall, nearly 6', approximately 130 pounds of long limbs and lean muscles, with shoulder-blade length dark hair. I am wearing Tuchuk leather: a fur-lined jacket over snug leather slacks which disapper into the tops of soft-sole, mocassin boots. I have two sheathed knives, a bow and quiver of five arrows, a shortspear, a backpack and a waistpack. Slung low on my hips leather belt to which is attached a quiva-sheath, containing a Tuchuk quiva with an 11" blade. The quiva has a bosk-bone handle longer than my fist, so the protruding butt of it would hit like a club. The bottom of the quiva sheath has a leather throng, which I have tied around my left thigh to keep the quiva close and quiet, and less of an impediment when I run. Also on the belt, on the opposite side from the quiva sheath, is a pouch containing some coins, binding-fibre and first-aid supplies. Sewn to the outside of my right boot is a dagger-sheath containing a dagger with a 6" blade, a weapon balanced for throwing. My backpack is mostly empty, containing a half-full water-bota and a small hatchet at the bottom of the pack. Over the pack, slung diagonally across my back, from my right shoulder to my left waist is a quiver with two arrows, two field-tip, two barbed war-blades and hunting arrow with razor cross-blades. My sixth arrow, another hunter, is nocked to my bowstring with minimal string tension, the shaft of the arrow held on the arrow guide, ready to draw, by my index-finger curled over the top of the shaft, pressing it firmly down on the arrow-guide. This way, I can hold the bow and arrow in just my left hand, ready to draw the nocked-arrow quickly. The bow is also Tuchuk, one of the short horn-bows made for womens' strength, with an effective range of nearly 40 yards, a bit more range and power than your average wooden short-bow. I carry my spear in my right hand, holding it at the center-of-balance on the shaft, with my palm to the underside and outside of the shaft, my thumb closer to the butt-end of the weapon. It is a short spear, made for throwing, with a tem shaft of 1.25" diameter, and a flat acute-triangular dual-edged steel blade, 4" wide at the base, 9" long. I carry this weapon with my right elbow bent, with the center of balance on the spear-shaft is in my hand, with about 30" of spear on either side of my hand, which is in front of and above my right shoulder, so the spear is ready to throw or jab.*

says to ALL: *I advance through the tems at a slow pace, taking a few quiet steps from the cover of one tree to another, working into the wind, listening and watching, becoming part of the Forest, unobtrusive, as blank of mind as the tem trees, open to intuition and impressions, ready for whatever may pop up in my path.*
Six Horned-Gims roost on the same tur branch, almost like they are waiting in line.

says to ALL: *This time of year, the sea is usually warmer than the land, so the wind blows from the west. I continue hunting in that direction.*
