Can you read a map?

I do cartography.

I feel we should

go halfway today, and halfway tomorrow

since you're a less

experienced hiker,

and you're wearing

Sunday school shoes.

They're not really

Sunday school shoes.

Here.

Oh, thank you.

Here's where we are right now.

I'd like to pitch

camp here by 1600,

which means 4:
00.

How does that sound?

- Fine.

- You want some beef jerky?

- Okay.

- Let's go.

Are you thirsty?

No, thank you.

Well, if your throat

gets parched,

stick a pebble in your

mouth and suck on it.

You can quench your thirst

with the spit, supposedly.

Sometimes I stick leaves on my

hair. It helps cool your head down.

That's a good idea.

It might also help if

you didn't wear a fur hat.

Yeah. True.

You can go ahead. Be careful.

Here's a trick,

throw pine needles in the air

and you can see

which direction the wind is blowing.

Which Way?

I guess it

doesn't really matter,

just as long as we

cover our tracks.

You smell like perfume.

Oh, it's my mother's.

I brought water, too.

- You wait here.

- Okay.

Be right back.

Watch your head!

Where the hell is it?

Found it!

It's ready.

He knows someone's

watching him.

I agree. Wait.

Why do you say that?

I don't know,

I just think he can feel us.

Follow me.

How strong of

a swimmer are you?

Pretty good. I broke our school

record for the backstroke.

Okay. Well, I'm not that strong of a

swimmer, so I wear a life preserver.

Watch out for turtles.

They'll bite you

if you put your fingers down their mouths.

Okay.

Let me see if I

can catch this one.

Feel something.

Somebody wrote on him.

The stick's moving.

You got one!

Fish on hook!

Reel him in, slowly.

Very good.

You know a lot about camping, don't you?

I'm a Khaki Scout. It's what I'm trained

for. Well, anyway, I used to be.

Maybe we can feed your cat

the guts and eyeballs.

Oh, that's okay.

He only eats kitten food.

Oh.

What else did you bring?

Maybe we can make an inventory.

Okay.

Go ahead.

This is my record player.

It works with batteries.

Well, actually,

it belongs to my little brother, Lionel.

- I left him a note.

- Okay.

- Do you like music?

- Yeah.

This is my

favorite record album.

My godmother gave it

to me for my birthday.

She lives in France.

These are my books.

I like stories with magic powers in them.

Either in kingdoms on Earth

or on foreign planets.

Usually, I prefer

a girl hero, but not always.

I couldn't bring them all

because it got too heavy.

You can borrow any you want.

Thank you.

I also brought

my lefty scissors because I'm left-handed,

some rubber bands,

extra batteries, my toothbrush,

and my binoculars, as you know.
