That was day one, no I did not build the hut in one day. That one in the image is much healthier than the temporary one I built on day 1. So far we have used two Items from our travel kit. The wood stove and the woodworking tools. We have shelter and the ability to cook. Time to sort out the rest of the items we brought and secure them. Ah. the weapons. number 4 on the list, 2 rifles and 1K rounds of ammunition, and 3 archers bows with arrows. The guns are reserved for an emergency and only the Bows will be used for hunting.
We can hear natives at night around us. We have not seen or met any of yet. We are nervous about our first meetings, yet we are looking forward to the interactions of time. After sorting the weapons away. The next task was going to be more laborious and monotonous the moving of books, Assembled are books on plants biology science and medicinal. Packed in alongside the books on plants were seeds, like tomato carrot potato onion cabbage and so forth. These will not be needed for a while as a farming area will need to be cleared. After about 3 hours of lifting and hauling books, to our new makeshift shelter. It's time to make use of that stove again.

Next came the solar set up, This does not entail much a capacitor and converter are already linked and all that is needed is to attach the power source and batteries. For something so simple it is turning out to be time-consuming. We have 6 panels in total and 2 spare capacitors, with a bit of luck we can have a small amount of energy consistently for approx the next 50 year, given the life of a panel is 25 yr.

Sheree and Laura have both shocked me this morning when I awoke to find them both preparing a garden area for cultivation of crops. Seeing the two of these digging getting dirty and enjoying it, was not something I expected to see ever. I am scared to tell them however that using the spade will make the work lighter than trying to dig with a shovel. Or more I have a fear of them telling me, ok Mr Know It All you do it.
Kyrgen is enjoying the outdoors, although he is on a long chain at the moment until we erect a fenced area around us. I half expected to hear him barking at everything new seen, it seems like he is adjusting to new surroundings like the rest of us with caution. The same with the natives, we think they do not come closer out of caution, the containers we have with us, the sawing and woodworking tools are items they have not seen before. Take with that, we appeared from nowhere poof we materialised. Their caution may be more justified than our own. Our little plot is starting to take shape and will be taking more shape for some time to come. We have our cooking area sweet, our garden area is being plotted, our energy is trickling into our batteries, our hunting skills need improving, our book library has been set up. The accommodation and border fencing still need much attention. We are on our way now though we are in the past and the future is ours to write, I wonder how many generations of living together in peace can go by before a war breaks out. And we return to the same place we left.
