You Have to Protect Your House! | Life Below Zero


2m read
·Nov 11, 2024

You don't know when something unique is going to happen out here, but you better be on your toes. There he is, he's on top of my Ridge now.

After a brief stay in Dead Horse, SE has returned home to find a Wolverine lurking around CIC's perimeter. To protect herself, securing camp is a priority. Came in last night, got as much done as I could. Noted the Wolverine tracks and it's a decent-sized Wolverine. Saw my little foxy bloodied up, got up here to look around, just make sure there's no wolf, there's no anything directly in my path to go from here to the shop. And boom! Way out here, about a mile and a half, is the big Wolverine.

Is that a threat? Absolutely. They are a force to be reckoned with and they will take on an 800 lb Grizzly and win. You know, it's just one of those things. I've got to make a committed choice: do I go after the Wolverine or do I continue on my chores? If he comes closer in, then I've got to. There's no choice; I've got to go take care of it.

I have to get my electric started. I have to check the integrity of camp out. I just don't trust that furry little... Going to go down the rows and see what tracks are there. How fresh are they? Where are they headed? Make sure that little Joker doesn't have a cubby he's cubing up in. This little dude has got a taste of blood and camp. I know he hurts Slinky; I don't want to be his next meal.

This over here, little tiny roundish prints. Look at the spacing, this is a fox. It's got some snow in it, but check out the size difference. Right, let me get my hand down there. Boom! That is a Wolverine track. You cannot be too careful here. The minute you let your guard down, just put a little ketchup on yourself and call yourself a pork chop. You're going to get it again!

Wolverine, Wolverine! Tell me the Wolverine is not decked out—a little hole by my camp. This is my camp, not his. He sees it the other way around. So what's the most imperative thing that I can do today? Get my electrics on. Get those spotlights on in camp. The predators tend to stay out of range of the spotlights. I'm hoping that he just says, "Su, back, damn it," and he goes away.

But if he doesn't, I will defend this camp with every piece of armament that I've got. I will defend my foxies with every piece of armament that I've got. This is my camp!
