! In the quiet hours of the bootcamp grind, I found myself: Esteban's Bootcamp Experience

B.E.L. Post # 132

After the morning meeting, we gathered our tools and headed down to the lab. I dropped the crew off at Cooper Cabin, where they got to work sprucing things up in preparation for the sepper arriving tomorrow. While they handled that, I made my way out to the sawmill site.

Out there, I bucked four logs down to length and hauled them back to Cooper so they could be split and stacked for future use. Once that was squared away, I rejoined the crew.

After lunch, we shifted gears a bit. I had Caroline, Derrick, and Fatty working on debarking two junkpole trees for the tipi gate project—good steady progress there. Meanwhile, Seth and I took some time to perform maintenance on the chainsaws, making sure everything’s dialed in and ready for continued use.

To close out the day, we all headed back to the Abbey and put in work on the fences until the end of the boot.
