Chief Ryan

Well, we've enjoyed lots and lots of snow these past couple weeks...so Ryan decided it was time to go check up on his wiki-up and give it an overnight test. He and his buddy Jeff decided to ski into it at 8:30 in the evening. (Ryan only does things extreme, never sane). They had to break a trail, so it took them 3 hours to go 3 miles. Around 11:30 they arrived at the shelter. They cleared out the snow that had blown in, and gathered pine boughs to make beds. Then they built a fire. The wiki-up worked pretty well but got drippy as the fire warmed it up. (Which felt good since it got down to 0 degrees outside). The report says it was fun, but not fit to take little ones up until Spring. Over the summer Chief and his little wild Indians plan to chink the wiki-up so it will not drip when warmed up so that the kids can sleep in it next winter.
