The life of our parents
In the socialist era the youth were not many opportunities to see the world, not so many different fun and not at all so much more. so different, wild or organized trips were very popular pastime. Nature is always beautiful, but the lack of a framework importunate propaganda and extra strangers did, and now make this a truly wonderful vacation.
I have already touched on in previous articles hikes, including kayaking, and today I want to tell you about it in detail.
In fact, this theme is not one or two posts. but where it is necessary and to begin.
What in general is the campaign in the very sense of the word? Company 4-10 people, often only male armed with kayaks, tents, kettles, a guitar, a meal for the whole (often 1-2 weeks) campaign, put forward by all those belongings on the train to the river. The car, of course, second-class. Exit the train at the station of the low platform, and even without a platform when the train is minute, it is a separate spectacle is not for the faint of heart. Entertainment only planting the same friends on the same train.
From the little station to the river rarely five hundred meters. Most have to go on foot, with all the cargo, five to ten kilometers. Sometimes several times. More often have to go - for example on the lawn to catch on the farm with the word "bread" in the back, on top of what some bags.
What is a kayak? This rubber-fabric "skin" stretched over a frame made of wood and aluminum longitudinal stringers and transverse wooden shpangouov kilson a wooden folding ladder. I mean the kayaks at the time, is now the same, but the other stuff. The bottom skin stringers are glued along the cut along suburban hoses - for strength.
Before assembly, the skin was soaked in the river to a thread soaked in water, get wet tarps and make it easier to pull the skin using a folding kilson.
Inside things and the food was packed, tied up in waterproof rubber, rubberized or "serebryanochnye" bags. They were not allowed to get wet things, they are also creating buoyancy rollover.
Meals are taken with ... it was art! There were special notebooks to record therein layouts in grams per person per day. The need to limit the weight of the load and the lack of food forced to go to such measures. Measured the sausage slices, sugar cubes per person. It is valued forest products - fish, mushrooms, game, berries.
Drink took time, but not very much. Estimated value of the "bottle of vodka a day for a man" born in the 90s.
Pots and pans were placed on "trivet" - four-legged stand. Nothing more comfortable there and now - no chains and the bar does not pose such a convenience
Fish caught from the boat. Very often, in the north, in Karelia, you can slow down a couple of times to throw, throw beating a gift to the cockpit and move on
Firewood chopped with an ax and a shorter two-handed saw. By the way, do you know that normal wood can be obtained in the middle band of only two species of trees? Coniferous standing and fin. All the rest only spoil your mood, and well, if you light up.
By the way, not all the kayaks were factory. And kayaks, and tents were often improvised. It was an art!
Here's a homemade kayak. Way cool, I'm sure that went on in 1997!
That bag of silverfish
Obviously gathering place, to the potatoes still in the box got.
The ideal workplace cook
Perhaps some hunting haven, such as winter quarters. In such a good wake up at night.
