You're lucky I was out of town. I would have nailed the answer dead center.
It's sure enough in Russell's "Journal of a Trapper."
I describe Russell's experience in my book, "Across the Seasons" like this:
. . . . "In the mountains, sometimes there's not much to choose from. You
eat what you can get and often don't ask who's cookint it, what it is, and
where it come from. I've been so hungry that I've gotten up in the middle of
the night and roasted more meat if I had it. One March the snow was so deep
and the area was so destitute of game that we had to live chiefly on thistle
roots for ten days. But I've found, to be acquainted with misery contributes
to the enjoyment of happiness."

Detroit News, Friday, March 03, 2000, p.4C
Jim Miller is a woodsman who teaches making items from birch bark,
including the canoe in the background. "If you learn to use the natural
resources of the earth, you will better appreciate, care for and protect
those things," he says. "The more you learn about using these things,
the more you'll see the beauty of those things."
Miller offers various one- to 10-day workshops and seminars for adults
and students in grades K-12. For information, call (517) 736-3487.

=A0=A0=A0 NOVI -- Eleven years ago, Jim Miller traded in all his
three-piece business suits for deer-hide moccasins, bobcat scarves,
beaver mittens and walrus-tooth necklaces.
=A0=A0=A0"I came in one day after 17 years at my job and told my boss
this is something I wanted to do and he understood," said the Mikado,
Mich., resident. "I learned that I can get all the things I need from
around me and in the process I learned self-reliance."
=A0=A0=A0The former salesman used his love for nature and wildlife to
become a traditional outdoorsman. Now he is one of the nation's foremost
leaders in the study and application of traditional skills and crafts.
=A0=A0=A0Miller is demonstrating his craft this week at the Sport and
Travel Show at the Novi Expo Center.
=A0=A0=A0The Port Huron native uses everything from wild game and plant
fibers to tree barks and rocks to make household items, clothing and
shoes. His creations include a buffalo sleeping roll, birch bark baskets
and elk rugs.
=A0=A0=A0Miller takes nothing on earth for granted, including those
things others would throw away. He rubs sticks together to make fire,
mixes deer fat and tree sap to make glue and makes warm clothing out of
roadkill.
=A0=A0=A0His methods might seem primitive to some, but Miller says it's
important to study how people lived before there were high-tech
computers and large manufacturing plants.
=A0=A0=A0"If you learn to use the natural resources of the earth, you
will better appreciate, care for and protect those things," he said.
"The more you learn about using these things, the more you'll see the
beauty of those things."
=A0=A0=A0To spread his philosophy, Miller spends a lot of his time
teaching people techniques for using the earth's natural resources
through workshops and seminars. He has also written a book, "Brain Tan
Buffalo Robes, Skins and Pelts," which focuses on his all-natural method
of producing buckskin by using deer brain fluids instead of chemicals.
=A0=A0=A0"Red, white, black or brown, we all have a common thread in
that our ancestors all had to do the same things to survive," Miller
said. "If you look and see how our ancestors lived, you'll see that we
all need each other and we need the earth. If you can understand that we
need the earth, you'll learn to use it and you'll never abuse it."
