My First Night in the Woods

Hi everyone, Sam here

My first night did`nt go so well. It was hard to start a fire. I had to whittle a hook for fishing, I caught a fish but it got away. It was getting dark it was cold no food., no water, no fire. I got to scared to sleep outside but I saw a cozy warm home,the lights were on smoke was coming from the chimney I ran up the hill knocked on the door. A wise looking old man opened the door and let me in he told me how to make fire. Hopefully my second night in the woods will go better.

The Catskills - Home sweet Home

Check out my new home! It's breathtaking isn't it!

Leaving Home

It's time to set on on my own. I'm leaving New York with just a penknife, a ball of cord, an ax, some flint and steel, and 40 bucks. It doesn't sound like much, but I have more determination than your likely to find in another boy my age. I'm headed to the Catskills to a land that is mine by birthright. Somewhere out there is an old beech tree with the name Gribley carved in it, and I'm going to find it.

Just so the folks at home don't get too worried, I'll keep you posted about my progress. Look for updates about my life, adventures and misadventures here. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

To the Catskills!
