Welcome to another bonus episode of Sleep Whispers, an extra treat for my Silk Plus members.

This is bonus episode number 90, and it is titled A Wilderness Survival Story, Part 3, Park Dippers, Dead Falls, and Tree Compasses.

In part two, you learned about the challenges of creating a good shelter, but you also learned some helpful

tips to create a good shelter, and even more ways to find food.

In this episode, you'll learn how to fish without a hook, how to catch a

furry animal without any bait, and how to find true north without the sun.

Now, as a reminder, what you are about to hear is a helpful survival guide, but it's written

to sound like a fictional and dramatic survival story.

But listen closely, and you will hear actual tips that may help you in a survival situation, or don't worry about any of that, and just lay back

and enjoy the drama and adventure of the story. Either way, may distract your squirrels so you can slowly drift off to sleep.

I hope you enjoy it.

My Wilderness Survival Story, Part 3, park tippers, dead falls, and tree compasses. I started again for

the brook. I was carrying a supply of hemlock roots in my trusty spear.

It occurred to me that by braiding the fine roots together, I could make a fishing line.

Uh, but there was a problem. I didn't have a hook.

How the heck was I didn't have a hook.

How the heck was I going to catch a fish without a hook?

But then I had an idea.

Maybe it would be easier if I remove the water from a small water inlet that contained some fish, I decided to try my plan of pailing the water out of a pool before I tried experimenting with making a hook.

I looked around for a water inlet that would be just right, because some were just too small

and didn't have any fish in them, or they were too large, and there was no way I was going to be able to create a pool that I could

remove most of the water out of. Eventually, I did find a suitable water inlet that contained several fish.
