I heard the howl of some dog in the woods. I sat in a tree watching,waiting. I heard sticks break and crunch, the sound of sniffing. Finally.
The animal i had been tracking for hours treaded below me, maybe 10 feet. I prepared my knife silently. I knew the thing was being couscous but i was well more dangerous than any of it's predators.
I positioned myself and waited. It stepped right where i needed it too and i pounced. My knife was in the large boar's neck in seconds and it went down quickly.
I put the animal on a contraption i had made, which had handles and a leather stretcher so i could drag it. It was not particularly easy, but i did make it back to my hidden camp.
I skinned, cleaned, gutted, and began to store the meat of the boar. The skin i would make into clothes for the winter. Right now, heat gripped me. The air was difficult to breath as the day reached its peak. After i finished with the animal, i would have to go to the creek.
It took hours, but i salted some of the meat and cooked the rest, and began making the skins into clothes. By the time i was finished, i needed to bathe. I grabbed clothes and a basket to catch some fish in. Although i had dinner enough, extra never hurt.
I began my journey to the creek. It took nearly an hour, but it was the closest and most secure creek to my small cave and campsite.
I stripped to my underclothes and stepped into the water. It was cold but I had gotten used to it over time. I held my breath and went under the water. A small waterfall, barely taller than myself, fell just a few feet away. The sound, while relaxing, also ment i wouldn't hear anyone approaching.
I held my breath and went under the water, swam a ways, and csme up behind the waterfall. I scrubbed my body and hair for a few minutes. When i was finished, i stepped out and dried. As i was pulling my clothes back on, i heard distant footfall.
I made my way quickly back to camp to hide my things and get inside my cave, which i had camouflaged into the rocks and forest behind.
