[QUOTE="Ol' Red, post: 2899734, member: 107965"] OK after Muddy's deer drowning story, I will finish my caribou trip on the peninsula. After the plane departed the wind picked up a little more. We had a wall tent for cooking and drying gear. When we set up the pup tents for sleeping, we could not keep them weighted down. We set the pup tents inside the wall tent. Then the side of the wall tent started to lift up from the wind. We found some discarded jaw bones and cut slits in the bottom of the tent and used the jaws as extra tent stakes. Then we put rocks on the jaw bones for extra security. Now the rain starts and the wind is still pulling the stakes out of the ground. About four in the afternoon we started hauling all of the rocks we could find and piling them on the stakes and the side of the tent to hold it down. The sun set during our construction job and the wind and rain continued. I remember running with large rocks and slipped and landed on my back in the mud with a 20 pound rock on my chest. As I lay there laughing one of my buddies runs past and ask if I was OK. Soon we were all laughing and I think it insanity slipping in. At four A.M. we finished the rock pile and went into the tent to rest. The pilot flew over in the morning. We motioned him that all was good, he dipped the wing and flew away. He returned about five hours later and landed to check on us. He said you guys looked OK this morning, but he had to pick up two camps that lost all of their gear. four people were taken to the hospital with hypothermia. The winds were sustained at 60 to 65 MPH and 105 MPH gusts had been recorded. That was the first night of a five night and six day hunt that will never be forgotten. We shot four nice bulls and four cows over the next couple days. [/QUOTE]
