[SPEAKER_05]: Hello everybody, welcome to five games on a trench coat season five from inside the tent.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm out of Gonzalez.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm taking us through kids on bikes, second edition.
[SPEAKER_05]: We're traveling through the states.
[SPEAKER_05]: Not all 50.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's hard to hit all 50.
[SPEAKER_05]: But we're just having a great time.
[SPEAKER_05]: were camping.
[SPEAKER_05]: At least we're hiking to camp.
[SPEAKER_05]: You parked somewhere in a little parking lot in Yellowstone, maybe a little off-road, and you are in Yellowstone National Park National Forest.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's humongous.
[SPEAKER_05]: It touches three states, something you guys would know.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're avid, quote unquote, campers.
[SPEAKER_05]: You guys went to a summer camp a lot, and they made you do like learn the different states and learn the different states and parks.
[SPEAKER_05]: National parks, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you guys have your equipment, you have all these things, you're maybe a mile out from wherever you left the car.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's likely been a day or two getting here, settling down.
[SPEAKER_05]: What do you guys do as you hike?
[SPEAKER_05]: What does hiking look like for the team here?
[SPEAKER_05]: And as you start talking, introduce yourself and introduce your character.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm in the back.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm in the back, like... Why don't you guys hold on.
[SPEAKER_08]: Why am I holding my legs just while you guys...
[SPEAKER_08]: Please hold on.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm Kim and I'm playing Clim.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I'll talk to you about it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Come on, like, come on, guys.
[SPEAKER_10]: Like, just up ahead, just up ahead.
[SPEAKER_10]: There's this, like, I'm pretty sure.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm pretty sure there's, like, one of those big old-ass trees up...
[SPEAKER_10]: Hold on, I'll go, I think he's, like, running ahead, looking at things, running back, bouncing around.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I'm Tandlin, and I'm playing hobby.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, hold on a second.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think this plant might be medicinal, and I'm gonna touch it and I'll never mind it.
[SPEAKER_07]: It makes my hand feel bad.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, as you touch it, you reminisce just lightly on some hibes you had maybe a bit ago.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's uncomfortable, but it's nice to be out in nature and surrounded by the sounds of the natural world, not the sounds of things stressing you out.
[SPEAKER_08]: You don't have to do with this guys.
[SPEAKER_08]: I swear, it's just wait right there do hobby up move Have you ever just gonna have you have you done?
[SPEAKER_00]: I swear I don't know.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know how you know don't move I'm sorry, I'm sorry, literally give me like two seconds and I'll catch up.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, you know how to keep bouncing around Yeah, but like okay, so I know you're excited.
[SPEAKER_10]: It goes on a decline right over this.
[SPEAKER_08]: So it's gonna be really easy for you You want me to roll down the hill no, it's just you want me to go to the moment um Mind if I'll just push me down the hill then hobby
[SPEAKER_07]: You guys, I think this plant is actually like edible.
[SPEAKER_08]: See you next time, touch me, man!
[SPEAKER_08]: See, you're gonna hurt yourself.
[SPEAKER_10]: We only have so much talent in my notion.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: I cannot have you sick and then we have to drive.
[SPEAKER_07]: You've gone through one bottle at least.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm going to put one of the leaves of my mouth.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, do not spit that out, spit it out, spit it out, spit it out.
[SPEAKER_05]: I spit it out.
[SPEAKER_05]: Year, your tongue tingles with almost fiber glass esk prickles, not life altering.
[SPEAKER_05]: But very uncomfortable.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_05]: Was it a metal?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, was it was it bad?
[SPEAKER_07]: It is bad.
[SPEAKER_08]: You just stop.
[SPEAKER_08]: Bears pee in that.
[SPEAKER_08]: A lot of things probably pee in that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Not lions.
[SPEAKER_08]: Deer.
[SPEAKER_05]: Something snaps.
[SPEAKER_05]: A branch maybe.
[SPEAKER_05]: Not very far.
[SPEAKER_05]: You look, you see a deer, a young male deer, not quite a buck.
[SPEAKER_05]: Some sprouting horns.
[SPEAKER_05]: Just existing in the spaces you do.
[SPEAKER_05]: Notice as you looks up at you, crunch as some leaves.
[SPEAKER_05]: Just wait.
[SPEAKER_05]: goes back to eat her, crunching its leaves, and it's nature, I'm
[SPEAKER_08]: Who has the word book?
[SPEAKER_08]: I think you have the word book.
[SPEAKER_08]: I have the word book already.
[SPEAKER_08]: You have the binoculars already.
[SPEAKER_10]: You've spoken through.
[SPEAKER_10]: Trying to find that.
[SPEAKER_10]: Trying to find it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Match the word.
[SPEAKER_00]: You've never been burdened.
[SPEAKER_00]: Never really.
[SPEAKER_10]: Except for summer camp.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're seeing like Krakuku.
[SPEAKER_00]: Krakuku.
[SPEAKER_00]: What is that?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like what the waste is that?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Krakuku.
[SPEAKER_05]: What else would it be?
[SPEAKER_05]: You guys walking still as you do all this or you just kind of just standing in the space.
[SPEAKER_10]: You might just be just standing here.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you stand here.
[SPEAKER_05]: Again, maybe now you're two miles out.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, you're hiking to what is supposed to be like, a relatively like used clearing that's often used for camping up in this way.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's a little trail to go there.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's about five miles out from the van, but it's frequently used.
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't think it's supposed to be too crowded.
[SPEAKER_05]: You guys kind of drove in pretty deep to get to this place.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're just looking for some time to camp yourselves.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you stay at the space.
[SPEAKER_05]: The deer takes off.
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't think you moved to aggressively or anything.
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe you just got started by something.
[SPEAKER_05]: stops for a moment and it's just silent no birds, no buzzing insects, no crinkling of leaves from maybe three seconds and you scared the deer away.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was going to take a picture.
[SPEAKER_10]: I knew nothing.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah, I hope so.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm feeling better.
[SPEAKER_08]: What took you so long to do that?
[SPEAKER_07]: What was looking at the deer?
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm...
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm trying to find the bird.
[SPEAKER_10]: There might be a yellow bell cuckoo bird.
[SPEAKER_10]: I know.
[SPEAKER_10]: They're not super common in Yellowstone though.
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, they're not here.
[SPEAKER_08]: trumpeter swan i don't know what i don't know i'm looking at the book who's it was it?
[SPEAKER_08]: are you just saying bird name is hobby?
[SPEAKER_05]: a chick-a-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-
[SPEAKER_05]: Over the, uh, kind of soft, right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'll be so excited.
[SPEAKER_05]: You've been hiking for maybe three miles now, four miles.
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, you're, you're close to where your campsite should be, um, if you're going in the right direction.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it's, piece of luck here.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is what the road trip should have been and is really, um, you've had a couple of detours, but this itself is nice.
[SPEAKER_05]: the nature of it kind of the natural beauty consumes you in a moment almost right it's you kind of forget everything else for a bit and you hike for another mile and you're you're there you've you come to a small clearing nothing you just cut out maybe they can fit like four four decent size tents here um it's just you guys uh you can see some like leftover camp stuff someone is likely here earlier this week or maybe even yesterday but you're the the ones who have arrived
[SPEAKER_10]: Welp, I'm starting there.
[SPEAKER_10]: Just I guess we'll all set up camp I guess I'm gonna do like a bear bagger to the, you know, sling it up and yeah, probably should yeah, bears bear intricities and Cookers But when it birds to be up to get up there Bears bears more bobcats of sorts.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay, what else?
[SPEAKER_10]: mountainous lions even yeah we should probably do I don't want bears not worth it not worth it yeah I just die if there's a bear
[SPEAKER_10]: He said, you would just die there, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_10]: I don't think you should just die if there's a bear.
[SPEAKER_08]: Why not?
[SPEAKER_10]: I think maybe you should try and protect yourself.
[SPEAKER_10]: Maybe.
[SPEAKER_08]: Maybe.
[SPEAKER_10]: That is true.
[SPEAKER_08]: Now, if it's a polar bear, then why is the polar bear all the way here?
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly, why is the polar bear here?
[SPEAKER_08]: I think that polar bear is more scary than a regular bear.
[SPEAKER_10]: Brown bears are skittish, I think, are the ones that you can scare away?
[SPEAKER_10]: Black bears are the one you hang around and hope.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right, I don't Grizzlies, Grizzlies, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_10]: Grizzlies, it's in the name.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, there's somewhere It's rabbits Let's get this weird thing up.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, nice work.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, yeah, I'm in a very proud of you.
[SPEAKER_08]: Thanks.
[SPEAKER_05]: you guys kind of settle in a five mile hikes a longer one it takes a good chunk of time nothing crazy what a good chunk of time maybe like an hour or two the days not quite winding down but it's no longer the middle of the day uh it's a bit later I'd say like three-ish forish you have the tent set up you kind of have a day set up are you guys gonna go out and like explore more or was the hike enough and you're just gonna hang out at camp
[SPEAKER_07]: Seems like a man to my need When you break I'm fine.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'll be fine.
[SPEAKER_10]: There's a little leap just around the corner.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's so on the map How little and it's only three miles like in total?
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, it's a loop and so we'll just be walking in one direction.
[SPEAKER_08]: All right.
[SPEAKER_08]: I could do that is it is it flat?
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, it's a loop.
[SPEAKER_08]: A loop.
[SPEAKER_08]: Can have it so it might be uphill the first half.
[SPEAKER_08]: Like steep or just like a small incline.
[SPEAKER_08]: You need to get better reading maps, hobby.
[SPEAKER_10]: There's no indicator?
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, there is, but I want to go on it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, we'll go.
[SPEAKER_10]: We'll go.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: Before we leave.
[SPEAKER_10]: dinner hot dogs ramen tuna sandwich a lot of protein in tuna need that we have the carbs in the sandwich bread okay I like pickles electrolytes come in all right tuna sandwich for your for dinner is sounds good we'll go to the loop the loop might be
[SPEAKER_10]: It like platoes, and then it goes downhill on the last end.
[SPEAKER_10]: All right, all right.
[SPEAKER_08]: Did you take a loop?
[SPEAKER_08]: No, it looks on fun.
[SPEAKER_08]: OK, we're going to loop.
[SPEAKER_05]: You go to this loop.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it's just a nice hike.
[SPEAKER_05]: Can everyone give me your great rolls?
[SPEAKER_05]: I got six.
[SPEAKER_08]: In eight.
[SPEAKER_08]: Two, no wish.
[SPEAKER_05]: Two, no wish.
[SPEAKER_05]: you might have been not for you could you have it you were running ahead too much time's a lot you're getting gasped um the other two of you you kind of keep a better pace and you're not gasped by halfway through hobby I think you were just moving yourself too quickly how much time do you want?
[SPEAKER_05]: you do notice again a moment of silence um the running water almost seems to have disappeared even the last may be five or six seconds this time
[SPEAKER_05]: And, uh, as it does hoverier a bit ahead and you kind of step down and you're like, and you look and you've stepped on what appears to be the back leg of some small mammal without a body.
[SPEAKER_10]: um obviously I step off of it backwards and I look behind at the other two and I just kick it into the bushes because I don't even want to stress it out over a little absolutely you know it's nature it's a look fresh okay it was killed today not within the last hour you can guess okay it's not like oozing right now yeah yeah
[SPEAKER_10]: Do I see any tracks?
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you leaving me dry?
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, yeah, just as they're on their way over, just like to make sure.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, give me your brains.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Buddy.
[SPEAKER_10]: Give me my point.
[SPEAKER_05]: You can get off into the bushes.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um... And you keep walking.
[SPEAKER_05]: The two of you kind of catch up.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's a light omitter here.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, just a musk.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, and you keep walking.
[SPEAKER_05]: You wrap up this loop and the sun's getting close to no longer being out, so it's probably about time to get back to camp.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm so excited for these two sandwiches, guys.
[SPEAKER_08]: Two, no sandwich.
[SPEAKER_05]: How many does it all song?
[SPEAKER_05]: And you guys?
[SPEAKER_08]: A little song as we go down.
[SPEAKER_10]: He's very familiar with two to sandwiches, all right?
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_10]: It has everything you need in it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Eat three of them, bitches.
[SPEAKER_08]: Three.
[SPEAKER_08]: You're correct.
[SPEAKER_08]: You eat three tuna sandwiches up your practice.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's a lot of tuna.
[SPEAKER_10]: I do.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's a lot of tuna.
[SPEAKER_10]: My knee doesn't hurt.
[SPEAKER_10]: Anyways.
[SPEAKER_05]: You will walk.
[SPEAKER_05]: I would like everyone to give me a grit roll as you're coming down, just like last little like kind of downturn.
[SPEAKER_05]: Three.
[SPEAKER_08]: A nine.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, all right.
[SPEAKER_08]: Gave it to the token.
[SPEAKER_05]: How the you kind of gas to yourself out.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I think a rock it gives out from under your foot.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_05]: What are you just tumbling down this kind of light hill?
[SPEAKER_05]: And as you slide into the bushes, you feel a like a water resistant texture underneath you and kind of brushed under bushes and dirt here is like crumpled in tent.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, not my knee hurts.
[SPEAKER_10]: Ah, ah.
[SPEAKER_10]: What?
[SPEAKER_07]: You okay?
[SPEAKER_10]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Ow.
[SPEAKER_10]: Kind of eat shit.
[SPEAKER_10]: There's like a tent here.
[SPEAKER_10]: What?
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, broke my fall.
[SPEAKER_10]: Not really.
[SPEAKER_10]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_10]: I don't know why I said that.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's like getting your fresh, my soul fall.
[SPEAKER_10]: And then putting my hands on my hips, like looking down at the, what's this tent with my tent?
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, it's covered in brushing stuff.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like are you ganking it out?
[SPEAKER_05]: Cause like it is covered with the shit.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'll hop on down and help him out.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you start yanking on this tent.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a larger tent, it's probably about larger than yours about 5 man tent.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm your guys as I would say is like a... a two and a half man, like you guys kind of squeeze.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you guys yank this 5 man tent out.
[SPEAKER_05]: And um...
[SPEAKER_05]: It has holes here and you can kind of see the ground through parts of it that you shouldn't necessarily be seeing through it But it's not erected so you can't quite like and those you guys want to try to reassemble that are holding up to really see what the holes or anything like that Inside there appears to be two bags.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're like half like have like half stuff in them They're not like empty but they're not full and there's like a sock Two pairs of shoes in there.
[SPEAKER_05]: There were not pairs.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's like mixed match shoes and they're like four shoes in there
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm gonna look through the bag, see if there's like a wall or something I can get to my bag.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, one of the bags has two like journals, but like sketchbook journals, and then the other bag has a wallet with an ID in there.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it is a one Daniel Lopez.
[SPEAKER_05]: It appears to be from the date and time and all that you can tell that be about 40 or 40 year old man.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, weird.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, maybe there's like a storm or something, I don't know, maybe it's better for Daniel.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I mean, I shouldn't have done that.
[SPEAKER_10]: What are we going to do?
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Call of police.
[SPEAKER_02]: We shouldn't do that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Not even a little bit.
[SPEAKER_09]: Not even a little.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, but up the journal.
[SPEAKER_07]: We see if they're like dates on it or anything.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you begin coming through this journal.
[SPEAKER_05]: There are no dates.
[SPEAKER_05]: But.
[SPEAKER_05]: Give me a brain rule.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I haven't been doing good on brain roles.
[SPEAKER_05]: Seven.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's appears to be some kind of notching system above each page.
[SPEAKER_05]: Almost like holes put in it.
[SPEAKER_05]: That you might assume correlates to something you can't figure out what it correlates to.
[SPEAKER_05]: And each page is an incredibly detailed sketch.
[SPEAKER_05]: The first, at least for the first book you're thumbing through.
[SPEAKER_05]: First couple are a deer, birds, a lot of bird watching stuff.
[SPEAKER_05]: about four or five pages in there's one of a tree and then the entire the entirety behind the tree is shaded in like in his entirety like almost like the night time like the darkness behind it like you can't see trees beyond it.
[SPEAKER_05]: and you see a clawed hand that reaches what you would have to assume if it's one of these trees like 10 feet up.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's coming from behind the tree 10 feet up and it's just there.
[SPEAKER_05]: We're like little scratch divots into it.
[SPEAKER_05]: And then behind that there's a sketch of a bush with berries and then tuffs of fur of different animals.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like you recognize the tuffs of fur don't match, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: There's like some deer fur.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's some like rabbit fur.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, a piece of like a chipmunks tail for different things and these are very in-depth sketches And the next one is is birds and then one is of a fish on a on a hook and then you kind of thumb through it And it continues in that fashion.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's another one where it's two trees and the darkness But in the darkest there's these two little beads that have been shaded red
[SPEAKER_05]: kind of reflecting back.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's so detailed.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know that what's looking at you in these drawings is reflective.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not red eyes.
[SPEAKER_05]: It is reflective.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's reflecting whatever light is coming back that way.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it continues.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like I said, it's a continued trend.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's no full portraits of any thing.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just random interest first.
[SPEAKER_10]: You guys are making creepy drawings.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, here we go, happy drawings.
[SPEAKER_10]: Uh-uh.
[SPEAKER_10]: Whew.
[SPEAKER_10]: Gross.
[SPEAKER_10]: Very well, I'm nervous.
[SPEAKER_10]: First bears, bears, bobcats, creepy things.
[SPEAKER_08]: No one over this is.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's getting dark.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I wish we could go back to the sandwiches!
[SPEAKER_08]: To the sandwich!
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, let's get back.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Here's a take this tenter and then you're gonna leave everything here No, it's all torn up, right?
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I might on and whatever booklet map thing I have of this loop just like kind of like put a dot where we are It becomes up
[SPEAKER_05]: You're taking the booklets with you up the very leaving those here as well.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'll leave those, but I think I'll take the ID just so we can...
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, so that's good.
[SPEAKER_05]: You guys make it back to camp.
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe that took a little longer than you expected.
[SPEAKER_05]: It is darker than you'd like to have made it back to camp.
[SPEAKER_05]: But you get there.
[SPEAKER_05]: Everything's set up already.
[SPEAKER_05]: You make some quick tuna sandwiches.
[SPEAKER_05]: Everyone eats and he's sort of a little fire, sitting around the fire.
[SPEAKER_10]: We should've got marshmallows.
[SPEAKER_10]: You wish it if.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, I'm being...
[SPEAKER_07]: These are good tuna families.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, they're pretty good.
[SPEAKER_10]: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[SPEAKER_08]: You're the one who has to binoculars, Harvey.
[SPEAKER_08]: Uh, well, it's dark.
[SPEAKER_10]: He's birds are freaking me out a little.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, it's just pretty lively for the time of night it is.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's weird.
[SPEAKER_05]: Then it's silent.
[SPEAKER_10]: Did you kill the bird?
[SPEAKER_10]: I hope not.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's been a real quiet.
[SPEAKER_05]: The wind has stopped.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's no rustling anywhere.
[SPEAKER_05]: Your fire is the only thing Crackling, making noise, bringing any semblance of life to this area.
[SPEAKER_10]: One time I went with my dad and my cousins, I ran them.
[SPEAKER_10]: I was just, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_10]: How old was I?
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, I don't know how well it was.
[SPEAKER_10]: Like, 10, maybe.
[SPEAKER_10]: I was little.
[SPEAKER_10]: And my cousins, they're way older than me.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I had to go pee.
[SPEAKER_10]: And we were in this little fucking tent.
[SPEAKER_10]: It was really dark out.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I tried to wake up my cousin.
[SPEAKER_10]: And he was like, just go.
[SPEAKER_10]: And he was like, I need you to go with me.
[SPEAKER_10]: He said, no, just go.
[SPEAKER_10]: I don't remember what I was saying.
[SPEAKER_10]: Anyways, we go.
[SPEAKER_10]: I get him to go out there and as I'm peeing on like a tree, I think, or something like that.
[SPEAKER_10]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_10]: I heard like rustling.
[SPEAKER_10]: So obviously, promptly stopped peeing.
[SPEAKER_10]: And um, God, what happened?
[SPEAKER_10]: He was just like, really like, oh, go, there's probably things in him, isn't it?
[SPEAKER_10]: And it's just my other fucking cousin.
[SPEAKER_10]: I, I almost shot myself that night.
[SPEAKER_10]: Let's hear you.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: What was I even talking about?
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_10]: That was a stupid story.
[SPEAKER_10]: I don't know where that came from.
[SPEAKER_10]: Ping, Ping at night in the woods.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's um,
[SPEAKER_10]: something, something for sure.
[SPEAKER_10]: You pee in the woods?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's no toy that's out here.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Good story.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think it was not the one.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was just really quiet.
[SPEAKER_09]: I didn't know what else to say.
[SPEAKER_08]: Ah, I guess that's fair.
[SPEAKER_08]: It was very quiet.
[SPEAKER_08]: A little too quiet.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, really quiet out here.
[SPEAKER_08]: I guess that's the woods.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know, I haven't been out here and like out camping in a while.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, because I mean like usually there's like tree Russell wind noises.
[SPEAKER_10]: Sound.
[SPEAKER_10]: I guess I haven't been in Yellowstone before.
[SPEAKER_10]: Maybe that's just how it is here.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_08]: I can't believe we forgot marshmallows.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm really fucking sad about it, dude.
[SPEAKER_08]: Remember that one night?
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, you ate like 10 marshmallows and then you had a stomach ache?
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh no, I don't remember that actually.
[SPEAKER_08]: Really happened.
[SPEAKER_08]: Really.
[SPEAKER_10]: You had, you had, you had never had a stomach ache.
[SPEAKER_08]: You had three spores, the rest of them were marshmallows.
[SPEAKER_08]: You burnt at least two.
[SPEAKER_10]: There's no such thing as a burnt marshmallow.
[SPEAKER_08]: It was on fire, Harvey.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: I was caught intended, all right, you don't put the on fire.
[SPEAKER_10]: You don't put the on fire to not light them up.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, I remained a troll.
[SPEAKER_10]: Is there something there's speed crunchy?
[SPEAKER_10]: It was black.
[SPEAKER_10]: It was a burn.
[SPEAKER_10]: Marshall.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_10]: So now there's something wrong with black things.
[SPEAKER_10]: Great.
[SPEAKER_10]: Nice work Amanda.
[SPEAKER_07]: Wow, Amanda.
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, Amanda.
[SPEAKER_05]: And we're asleep in the tent.
[SPEAKER_05]: It was a nice calm night for the most part.
[SPEAKER_05]: You guys don't even realize, but in telling the stories... Sound came back.
[SPEAKER_05]: The force became alive again.
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe you just needed a bit of your life to get it going.
[SPEAKER_05]: You've all fallen asleep.
[SPEAKER_05]: Who falls asleep first and who falls asleep last?
[SPEAKER_08]: Me first.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you can't go out.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, light snoring.
[SPEAKER_05]: Who's next?
[SPEAKER_10]: I was running around all day.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, out, almost seconds after Amanda.
[SPEAKER_05]: Zeke your left awake.
[SPEAKER_05]: How's it going?
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, not great.
[SPEAKER_07]: We found a creepy abandoned tent.
[SPEAKER_07]: Could've been the wind.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you sleep?
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you have an hard time?
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I'm in a hard time falling asleep.
[SPEAKER_05]: We'll chilly.
[SPEAKER_05]: You doze off from maybe a minute.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, maybe 10, you're not sure, sleep is weird.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you're woken up to watering eyes and a stinging nose at whatever stench is making its way into this tent.
[SPEAKER_05]: It wreaks.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's rise of the musk you smelt on the trail, but stronger.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's like wet dog met.
[SPEAKER_05]: rotten flesh.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you smell your friends don't seem to smell it there.
[SPEAKER_05]: Still asleep.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm gonna kind of like run my eyes and kind of look around to see like once making that noise and it's smell Yeah, so I mean you are you aren't a tent are you gonna like exhibit pick out again Is it a little thing to look out the mesh?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I think I look up the mesh.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, so you have zipped a little portion of the window Letting in a little more of the smell.
[SPEAKER_05]: So it's pungent.
[SPEAKER_05]: It didn't it's almost like a punch the nose your eyes water a bit more and you look out give me
[SPEAKER_05]: Give me a grit.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I got a wand.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know what I'm going to spend the thing, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Another six.
[SPEAKER_05]: You wipe your tears away.
[SPEAKER_05]: It sucks, but you've gotten sprayed by a skunk before.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's close.
[SPEAKER_05]: If you look around, you don't see anything.
[SPEAKER_05]: Or maybe you do, maybe it's a stupid fucking drawings that are in your head.
[SPEAKER_05]: Where you see a head just holding onto a tree, but it's so dark, Zeke, it couldn't possibly be that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe it's your mind playing tricks on you.
[SPEAKER_05]: What does Zeke believe?
[SPEAKER_05]: Zeke?
[SPEAKER_07]: I think he's just sitting there staring at it, kind of like looking, he's like, in his mind, he's like, no, I'm sure it's nothing.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's probably some rotting carcass out there or something as you stare.
[SPEAKER_05]: your vision warbles the way that the way that only eyes that are straining can do when you stare at something it's almost especially in this kind of darkness with this kind of strangeness it's almost like a guaranteed optical illusion it's not moving and then you hear a noise and you swear you see a hand scratching disappear
[SPEAKER_11]: And then you notice that it's so quiet.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's so, so quiet in this forest.
[SPEAKER_11]: The sound of the stories of the lives you have lived aren't making a noise.
[SPEAKER_11]: You can't hear Amanda snoring.
[SPEAKER_05]: You can't hear.
[SPEAKER_05]: Havies rustling around as he moves.
[SPEAKER_05]: You can't hear any life outside.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just silence.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think you're just gonna set it as quietly as you can just listening.
[SPEAKER_11]: Zik you sit as quietly as you can just listening for maybe an hour.
[SPEAKER_11]: No sound comes back.
[SPEAKER_11]: Your friends start making noise again.
[SPEAKER_05]: They are sleeping next to you.
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe it was your mind playing tricks on you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Try going to bed Zik.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I'm gonna try and go around.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, do you zip it back up for the smells this painted a bit?
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I'm gonna zip it back up.
[SPEAKER_05]: Use it back up.
[SPEAKER_05]: You close your eyes.
[SPEAKER_05]: You try to drip off.
[SPEAKER_05]: You drip off.
[SPEAKER_05]: Can everyone give me just a luck roll, the 20.
[SPEAKER_05]: 12.
[SPEAKER_08]: 19.
[SPEAKER_08]: A nine.
[SPEAKER_05]: Clem.
[SPEAKER_05]: the sharp sound of a large branch being torn from a tall portion of a tree and a th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th
[SPEAKER_05]: Silence except for the noises that are being made directly Paces outside of your tent.
[SPEAKER_08]: What do you do?
[SPEAKER_08]: I wake up from the the noise of the the sharp noise from the branch.
[SPEAKER_08]: Huh?
[SPEAKER_08]: And then I start hearing all that shit I'm so I'm trying to say so still you sit frozen
[SPEAKER_05]: You hear the sack that you'd hung in the tree, hit the ground after hearing the rope severed.
[SPEAKER_05]: A stench makes its way into the tent.
[SPEAKER_05]: You aren't sure, but the way your heart feels, you're almost positive that it's going to give away your location.
[SPEAKER_05]: You might be sitting here so quietly, but with no birds and with no wind and with no running water, and just the light breathing sounds of your friends next to you.
[SPEAKER_05]: The way your heart and your blood sounds in your ears, you can't imagine anything else not being able to hear it.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you sit there, unmoving.
[SPEAKER_05]: and tell the noise stops after about two minutes.
[SPEAKER_05]: How long have you sit there?
[SPEAKER_08]: As long as I can.
[SPEAKER_05]: You, the fear or the panic washes over you.
[SPEAKER_05]: After about 30 minutes of sitting quietly, you finally stop hearing the rush of your own blood,
[SPEAKER_05]: and you simmered down.
[SPEAKER_05]: Just come back to sleep.
[UNKNOWN]: No.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, come on, can't sleep now.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Clim, you've laid there.
[SPEAKER_05]: Next to your friends, just a wake.
[SPEAKER_05]: Can I get luck rolls from you guys?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, a nine.
[SPEAKER_02]: 20.
[SPEAKER_05]: you wake to the tent itself touching you as fingers press into the tent and feel around at the sides of the tent.
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you pull away?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I pull away.
[SPEAKER_05]: Upon waking up you jerk to the side away.
[SPEAKER_05]: You hear the movement of the tent is something's touching the tent.
[SPEAKER_05]: You see Zeeek jerk to the side.
[SPEAKER_05]: You hear something run off.
[SPEAKER_05]: And of course, the worst part about a Zeewer awake this whole time.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you didn't hear it to get that close to the tent.
[SPEAKER_05]: Is it your wake?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, you see climb kind of awake, but motionless.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're both sitting there.
[SPEAKER_05]: Silence?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I think I'm kind of listening because we heard it run away, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I'm waiting to see there's any more like noises.
[SPEAKER_05]: You have to imagine that whatever just landed was as heavy as a rock or a big log.
[SPEAKER_05]: The crackle of a campfire.
[SPEAKER_05]: breathes life back into this area for just a moment, you see your tense the light with the dull flames of a campfire you know you put out.
[SPEAKER_05]: As it's just reignited, you two sit here.
[SPEAKER_05]: The flames softly, growing in the background, crackles of wood, giving its life essence for this moment of energy and power to create a flame, and it crackles.
[SPEAKER_05]: And stories sing upon the embers, the way stories and words sing around the embers when you all sat there.
[SPEAKER_05]: And the crackles and the embers breathe just a bit of life back into the forest.
[SPEAKER_05]: The animals are making noises again.
[SPEAKER_05]: Little chitters, maybe some bugs here or there.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not deadly silent anymore.
[SPEAKER_05]: But you still hear a little movement here or just the soft.
[SPEAKER_05]: Of something nearby.
[SPEAKER_05]: But the rest of the force, the responding to it anymore.
[SPEAKER_07]: What do you do?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Shake it.
[SPEAKER_04]: The tent is glowing orange from the fire on the outside.
[SPEAKER_10]: Did you like the fire?
[SPEAKER_10]: What's going on?
[SPEAKER_10]: No.
[SPEAKER_07]: I know.
[SPEAKER_10]: Where am I?
[SPEAKER_07]: So, someone grabbed me from outside the tent?
[SPEAKER_08]: There's something outside.
[SPEAKER_05]: the zipper moves maybe three inches.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm gonna grab something to get rid of the frown.
[SPEAKER_10]: Also it's just like looking for like pocket knife.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's quiet again.
[SPEAKER_05]: Have any of the three of you ever been hunting?
[SPEAKER_07]: I think I probably would have been.
[SPEAKER_07]: Wouldn't be like hunting hunting.
[SPEAKER_05]: Did you in your dad take whatever you hunted to go get a process and just process it yourself?
[SPEAKER_05]: I think we got someone to process it and do any of the skin ink?
[SPEAKER_05]: No.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think I would have watched like watch them do it.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's a very particular noise that skin being pulled from fresh flesh makes.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you hear it.
[SPEAKER_05]: and your shoulders tingle and your fingers go numb.
[SPEAKER_05]: Because you know something that was alive moments ago has just had the outer layer of itself removed.
[SPEAKER_05]: Clim.
[SPEAKER_05]: What thing were you always told to be scared of?
[SPEAKER_08]: my dad was a boy scout.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think he always told us and took me camping when I was little even besides the like summer camp stuff.
[SPEAKER_08]: Always told me to stay put.
[SPEAKER_08]: Always told me to never go out in the woods without someone else.
[SPEAKER_08]: And always told me to never stray from whatever path were on.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Clim.
[SPEAKER_05]: every time you blink and it's not often because when you're trying not to move everything locks in place but your eyes dry especially with that orange dull glow from the crackling fire outside that you did not light and when you blink every single time painted on the back of your eyelids you see endless trees
[SPEAKER_05]: No trail, you don't know how you got there, and you open your eyes and are you, are immediately still with your friends, and it's seconds, milliseconds, it doesn't take you long to blink, but every single time, your body and brain go through the exact same terror that one truly lost in the woods would go through.
[SPEAKER_05]: What were you afraid of as a child?
[SPEAKER_05]: Whether it be a mythical beast or not?
[SPEAKER_10]: I think my mom was very,
[SPEAKER_10]: paranoid especially like being her only baby she's like don't don't go out to late at night don't don't talk to strangers someone's gonna steal you like like I don't want anyone to take my baby away from me you know it's always like the fear of strangers stuff like that as you blink
[SPEAKER_05]: Dancing almost.
[SPEAKER_05]: The orange glow bleeds through your eyelids or bleeds through the creases between the bottom eyelid and the top.
[SPEAKER_05]: Forcing its way into your eye, forcing its way into your brain to make an image or a series of images and it's again just for blanks.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just for moments seconds, nanoseconds.
[SPEAKER_05]: It doesn't take that long to blink and you're not blinking that often
[SPEAKER_05]: In the back of a van, going somewhere, you don't know, and you don't want to go.
[SPEAKER_05]: What is Zeke always been taught to be afraid of?
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, he's always been taught, like be prepared, like don't, don't like leave things to chance.
[SPEAKER_05]: Zeke, you found and opened those books.
[SPEAKER_05]: You thumbed through them.
[SPEAKER_05]: you're always prepared and stories carry themselves a lot of different ways and hold a lot of different power and maybe you had never realized until now is eek but
[SPEAKER_05]: Those etchings, those drawings are a story, not with words, but with reality and intent and unlike your friends here, the moment and the fire that's a light just outside isn't what painted, a horror on the back of your eyelids, but you've had that there since you opened those books.
[SPEAKER_05]: Those books have told you that story, whatever it might be, and that story will be with you.
[SPEAKER_05]: For the rest of your life, you see eyes glowing red, a lit from the fire, almost as if the fire was
[SPEAKER_05]: made to show you these eyes and you're alone in the campsite.
[SPEAKER_05]: Your tent is crumbled and buried a lot like the tent you found your friends are nowhere to be seen.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're in your pajamas.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're not prepared.
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't have your bag with you.
[SPEAKER_05]: Your car is five miles out.
[SPEAKER_05]: and this thing is looking at you and not looking at you in kindness, not looking at you in curiosity, not looking at you in hunger, but looking at you in disgust.
[SPEAKER_05]: This thing hates you.
[SPEAKER_05]: It doesn't want you to be here.
[SPEAKER_05]: You shouldn't be here.
[SPEAKER_05]: And the three of you sit there with a fire crackling
[SPEAKER_05]: Every stolen blink, two moistened your eyes, is a moment of torment.
[SPEAKER_05]: Low groins echo through the forest in different areas, but no longer to the silence of the forest, but with the forest.
[SPEAKER_05]: There were moments where there was lifelessness in the forest,
[SPEAKER_05]: And normally that's when there's a predator around.
[SPEAKER_05]: But perhaps the lifelessness isn't coming from this thing is something else entirely.
[SPEAKER_00]: What do you guys do?
[SPEAKER_07]: What can we do?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, what the fuck do you want to do?
[SPEAKER_07]: Guys, you guys are gonna sit here?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I just have something ready to throw.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I have a knife in my hand.
[SPEAKER_08]: Backing up from the zipper that opens up the tent.
[SPEAKER_05]: claim you remember that you were awake the whole time and you hadn't heard it for almost an hour and a half and it touched your tent and it had gotten so close and these foot steps are so purposeful.
[SPEAKER_05]: Every step you're hearing, you know you're hearing on purpose.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's right in front of the tent right by the entrance, I need to see her.
[SPEAKER_05]: The soft dropping of something, or placing of something.
[SPEAKER_05]: Tent shakes a little with the wind.
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't hear steps, leave.
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't hear them depart in any direction.
[SPEAKER_05]: Their silence.
[SPEAKER_05]: The fire's out.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's pitch black for about 42 minutes and then bits of sunlight begin to peek their way into your tent and climb in and the minute they touch your skin and he blinked.
[SPEAKER_05]: Whatever was there is gone behind your eyes, but it is a part of you, because the stories have always been a part of you.
[SPEAKER_05]: Zeke, you're now the proud owner of the stories that you discovered here in those books.
[SPEAKER_05]: Stay time, the day breaks, morning birds chirp.
[SPEAKER_05]: The forest is alive again, but alive in the way that a forest typically is, not alive in the way that it is watching you and waiting on you.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, let's eat and get out of here.
[SPEAKER_07]: Or you know what, let's just get out of here.
[SPEAKER_08]: Let's just go.
[SPEAKER_08]: Let's go.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, so...
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Are we getting out of the dam?
[SPEAKER_08]: It sounds like it puts up.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I just like, because you know, there's like the mesh one before opening all the way.
[SPEAKER_05]: You look and there's two sketchbooks that you've seen before in front of the tent.
[SPEAKER_10]: Maybe you should, like, get it, see?
[SPEAKER_07]: No, okay, I'll peek.
[SPEAKER_05]: You see the two sketchbooks that you handled?
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I don't think it's the same one.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think so.
[SPEAKER_10]: Kind of, like, look around.
[SPEAKER_10]: There's nothing.
[SPEAKER_07]: We're going to open the other flaps to look around.
[SPEAKER_05]: There are some things on the outskirts of the clearing that you can't quite make out.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're small.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're not like traps or anything.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's just a small pink reds.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're not quite sure.
[SPEAKER_05]: Just off in the distance bits of blues.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're like purply.
[SPEAKER_05]: Silvery is the light catches it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Wow, let's, I got something to throw, so let's let's get it, let's step on out of this tendency, let's see if it's still there.
[SPEAKER_07]: Time to be brave.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, come in, you can go first.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, but you have a knife, so, okay, come on.
[SPEAKER_07]: How about you, you sit to the side, open the zipper, and then I'll jump out of the knife.
[SPEAKER_10]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's just like just like my grandpa taught me from the old country, this is what you used to do in the old country.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay, all right.
[SPEAKER_10]: You can't jump out.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I froze up.
[SPEAKER_05]: it's pretty good though your camp there's it's slightly destroyed or just unrested things that you've left in certain areas are flipped or turned over broken your stuff may be okay the bear bag the rope has been clearly severed and the bear bag is on the ground opened with every single thing inside of it lay so
[SPEAKER_05]: The bag itself has been played out like a blanket and everything and it has been laid out evenly Perfectly across from it from each other thing inside of it.
[SPEAKER_07]: We know it's on the bear There's can't do that.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's can't do that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's a bear bag specifically so bears can't do that But it can't do that.
[SPEAKER_08]: It can't do that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, yeah, that too Have you ever seen a bear pick something up and put it down?
[SPEAKER_08]: Perfectly exactly
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, they kind of have hands, so I mean, it's possible.
[SPEAKER_08]: They're not going to hold, they're not going to have thumbs.
[SPEAKER_08]: How are they going to do that with hobby's lip balm?
[SPEAKER_07]: It's not.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, it's not the time for that, Amanda.
[SPEAKER_07]: They can use, probably use their fingers, kind of like, chopsticks, you know, they got claws.
[SPEAKER_08]: Have you seen a bear, use their fingers, like, chopsticks, do you know?
[SPEAKER_07]: What else could have done this?
[SPEAKER_07]: I won't can't do this!
[SPEAKER_07]: Big bird!
[SPEAKER_05]: Zik, do you pick up the books?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I'll scoop up the books.
[SPEAKER_07]: Just checking, you don't have to, I don't know if Zik will.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, no, I'll just see if there's anything new in them.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hey, you thumb through them, and every single page that had those etchings that are now your stories to tell, have been ripped out.
[SPEAKER_05]: No.
[SPEAKER_08]: All right.
[SPEAKER_08]: Let's clean up and get out of here.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll clean up and get out of here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like really, really quickly.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah, you.
[SPEAKER_08]: We'll eat in the car.
[SPEAKER_05]: You quickly clean up.
[SPEAKER_05]: You maybe you don't even fully do some of the tent.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're just like, wrap it up, roll it up and carry it.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a five mile hike.
[SPEAKER_05]: You want to beat feet.
[SPEAKER_05]: You do all of this.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like I said, there were things, pink, reddish.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a purple hue, shine silver when the light hits it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Small mammals, what their skin removed, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't think whatever that was what's this here.
[SPEAKER_08]: So I see we get let's just go.
