This bush stove was unique. On my left was actually a water hole in the rock, with a trough under the stove. As it would rain, the water would actually go under the stove and the ashes got picked up and help in sterilizing the water source.

So, we had heat, a good frying stone, the walls were warm and my native friends slept against the sides, and..... a water trough right next to the stove.

This is a fire I made to cook my supper late one night.
It works well and the stone actually cooks the meat more evenly.

Here is a pic of some rabbits that a crew and I are cooking to eat..

A bush lunch: freshwater clams!

Wild carrot roots (also known as "Queen Anne's Lace).

There are other plants that may resemble wild carrots. Don't eat any plant that you think is wild carrot unless it smells like carrots!

Bush food

After a hard day of tracking, bow's daughter Jessica stops at a patch of Saskatoon berries for lunch.

Here is my son, Nicholas. He has caught a small snake, in this area they get much bigger, some five and a half feet long and one inch diameter. A good food source, though I doubt this one will do that for him!
