Part 2/7:

As Luke begins his adventure, he is immediately met with adverse weather conditions, including damp and chilly temperatures as snowfall envelops the mountains. His primary concern is to find shelter, which he accomplishes by locating a survival cabin amidst the mountainous terrain. Though cold and wet, he finds joy in his solitary trek, feeling that he has the trail all to himself, thus creating an adventurous atmosphere.

Wildlife Encounters and Foraging

During his hike, Luke jovially anticipates spotting tarmigan or grouse, although he made the strategic choice not to bring a gun to avoid excess weight. He encounters and identifies various plants along the way, including mountain ash, which is notable for its edible flesh while being cautious of its seeds that could cause discomfort.
