The Wilding
“Justin will carry the Gerber Reserve Insulator, a bulky, many-pocketed backpack full of freezer bags and freezer packs, to collect and keep cool the meat they hope to harvest. Years ago, they never would have needed it, since by October a thin blanket of snow inevitably covered these mountains. He remembers icicles dangling like blue fangs from tree branches and rock overhangs. Frost ornamenting pinecones. The river clotted up with ice. This afternoon the temperature will rise into the seventie...s. Meat will spoil quickly.His father pulls from his rucksack three blaze orange caps and tosses them to Justin and Graham and they try them on and then take them off to adjust their plastic bands and fit them snugly onto their heads. They pull on vests of a matching color. “The pumpkin brigade,” Justin’s father calls them.Justin finds the bottle of Hawaiian Tropic his wife packed and splats a dollop into his hand. He dips his thumb into this and dots Graham on the forehead, nose, cheeks, and ears, and tells him to rub it into his skin, while Justin makes the same pattern on his own face.MoreLess
