says to ALL: Once I have a small fire going, I put the end of long branch in. Most of the time, only the part of the branch actually in the fire burns, but I will keep an eye out to make sure it works out that way. Now the task is to construct the spit-roast.*

says to ALL: *In the duffle with camping gear, I have a grill and grate. I dig a shallow hole, and place the grate over it. The idea will be to put coals and embers on the grate, which will have airflow beneath them, so they will get red hot, and burn quickly to fine ash, which will then fall through the grate, and be replaced by more coals.*

says to ALL: *I whittle two forked branches down to equal height, and dig them into the soft ground on opposite sides of the grill, so that the forks are about 8" above the ground. I use a hand shovel to transfer the first hot coals to the spit-roast.*

says to ALL: *I fish the tabuk-roast down from where it's been hanging on a hook at the end of a rope hanging from a tree branche. I have a steel spit, which I force through the muscle-meat, and then place over the forks, with the roast over the coals. Now, about every 15 ehn, I will rotate the roast.*

ays to ALL: *I bang the burning log with my hatchet to knock off some coals, use my hand-shovel to transfer coals to the spit-roast, turn the spit, and then relax for another 15 ehn. This is probably how life was supposed to be before the mythical war between men and women began. The mythical part being that the war ended.*

says to ALL: *For now, the roast is just absorbing heat, not starting to cook yet. The wind blows pretty consistently from the west this time of year, bearing the smoke from my fire deeper into the trackless Forest to the east. This contemplative time is when you let the sounds of the Forest sink in, just getting used to what things generally sound like, so that, over the long term, you will be discern when things are abnormal, from the change in background noise. You get used to certain bird sounds, for example, and if there is an odd one, that triggers a mental alarm to pay attention.*
