Monday, August 28, 2017 - Rough night My sleeping pad had a slow leak! The Amok hammock requires a pad for support, and as the air drained it became obvious how important the pad was. I got up at least 4x during the night to blow up the pad. I am glad it was a slow leak and not a full-blown tear. On top of that, it was on the cool side that night. I made a mixture of soapy water, and found the leak and fixed it. I was very happy to find the leak. I spent the rest of the day paddling around Fire. I ran in to 2 guys doing a day trip and I think they were surprised that anyone was staying on the lake. It’s a nice lake and I am pretty sure I was the only one camped on the lake during the two nights I was there. I paddled up Drumstick Creek for a ways. There is Willow on both sides and I started thinking about jumping a Moose, so I turned around and paddled out. That evening I started carving on the chunk of basswood I brought along. Carving was my go to occupier of time on my first solo. I decided to carve a Loon…it’s a work in progress
