Reprint details Knowles enduring a night in a swamp exposed to cold and damp, abandoning camp during a meeting with a guide. He adds a bow and arrow to his equipment and must rest after suffering exposure in the bog environment.
In this diary entry Joseph Knowles describes life in the woods, detailing food, shelter, and his struggle to nourish the mind. He reports progress on making paper and paints from natural materials, crafting brushes from bear hair and eagle quills, and laments the absence of a knife while he tests a hornbeam bow.
A woodsman recalls making a hornbeam bow and sinew bowstring, using stone-tipped arrows, and preferring the hunt at distance over rifles. He describes a nightmare journey through swamp and jungle, losing his pack, enduring cold and wet conditions, and a night of isolation after avoiding contact with a stranger.
I crept along the log to the bank then up the stream, found myself on a floating bog, and retreated to the big bog. I spent the rest of the night under spruces and cedars, daylight guiding me to my pack and bear-skin. I move to higher land to rest and avoid parties.
