Well, as for the time I will be spending, it varies from anything like a 1 hour walk to something of Thouraeian (Think, Why I went to the Woods) proportions. I know a couple plants for certain already. Cleaning stuff in the kitchen is alot easier than in the field, so I guess I'll do that. Is there some way to stop the animal your skinning from smelling bad, or does that just go with the territory? I am always careful not to cut the intestines, but they always bug me with smells.
