Or definitely gonna be spending our evenings picking salmon berries, which is when the salmon are here after July. Then, the salmon berry should be ripe while Chip collects building supplies for their fish rack, and Sig woke Magnus and the girls must gather and stockpile a vital food source for the coming winter.

It takes a group effort to get through these willows, 'cause you never know what's in the willows. There could be bears, wolves, musk ox. That's why we have the puppy dog here, so it can just scare off anything.

Look at the size of these berries, right? I usually just try to keep picking all the ones that are orange. You can tell how good and nice they are, and I just try to leave the ones that are already sunburnt and stuff, and not great. When we have our long cold winter, it's nice to have something sweet besides all the meats and fish we have, so we balance it out with the berries and the greens.

Not missing anything from our diet, it's hard work. It's back-breaking, but in the end, it pays off. Whoo, that looks like that's enough for today. We could just pack up and start heading back.

These short pieces right here are cottonwoods; those are gonna be for smoke good salmon. Then I got these pine ones over here, and we're gonna be using those for making the signal stick. Your guys's berries in, it's all the berries you got. Don't have to be eaten right away; we can save them for winter.

It's like a good deal; I make a real good deal. Yep, no work out good, dope, yeah, we all work out real good together. This one gets a little mini.
