Another piece of the blog puzzle falls into place for silverorange. Daniel Burka, designer extraordinaire, illustrator of our slices of the month, and a master of footy, has launched his new blog DeltaTangoBravo.com.

The Afternoon  •  Lunch usually takes 30 minutes. Not much time to scour a couple of acres for possible routes down. Again, Jacquie and I split up. We make sure to always stay within yelling/hearing distance. The frigging cliffs are everywhere. I’ll make my way down one hundred feet thinking that …

The Morning  •  As I’m starting to get used to sleeping on granite, getting up in the morning is getting harder and harder. For most of my life I’ve had the “I would rather sleep in than escape my burning house” problem. When I have had to get up I’ve always relied on the faithful shower to wake …

Wake, stretch, yawn – I’m finally feeling a bit better. My nose buccaneers have subsided which I thought would be a good thing, but now I am constantly aware of my putrid body odor. Yuck. I’m going to have to do something about that today.  •  From the three inch diameter hole I see and breather …

The dreams….unbearable. So lucid you’d swear they are real. I lay awake in a daze for half an hour wondering what is reality. I gradually crawl out of the tent. Is it just me of do things not smell as bad as they have been? Oh, it’s just me, my nose is constipated from being sick.  •  The good …

3:30 AM – Burning throat and ears. I’m burning up. Fever is so hot. Hallucinating. Should I get up and see Matt and Jasmin? Did I already get up and see them or was that a dream?  •  4:00 AM – I can’t think straight. My fever is hotter. Forgetting where I am. Keep drifting off and waking up within …

The lucid dreams are starting to freak me out. During the night I dreamt that my girlfriends grandfather was driving a bus with her whole family on it. That bus ran a red light and smashed into a minivan carrying my whole immediate family……I woke up not know what was real and what was dream. I …

I awoke at seven AM. My first thought was “Crap, I didn’t go swimming at 6”. You see, I forgot to mention that last night I boasted to all of my course mates that I would be up with the sun and go for a nice refreshing swim in the liquid nitrogen warm lake. Oh well, they might as well know early …

I awoke first yet again. It’s important to note that it is around 5 am. I do not usually get up at 5am. I’m more of a 10’ish type of morning person. The stink in the tent had obviously reproduced over the night. I think stink reproduces much like an amoeba does, separating and the what not.  •  I …

I awoke to find that either:  •  a) Bugs had not crawled in my nostrils while I slept  •  b) Bugs may have crawled in my nostrils while I slept but left before I woke up  •  c) Bugs crawled so far up my nostrils while I slept that they are past the place where you can feel them  •  I was actually …

After a month back in civilization I’ve finally had the chance to sit down and write up for you my trip to the woods. Some aspects are left out on purpose as I plan to make longer, more detailed, posts about them later on. I’ll also included some quotes from my trip journal where applicable …
