About The Gathering Kindling with A Friend

A bundle of wood tied to his back, a water canteen on a strap over his shoulder and a spotted dog by his side, this man has successfully gathered a full load.  His hand-formed cane is enhanced with greens tied to it.  His head is shielded from the sun with additional greenery.  His knife is tucked beneath the rope wrapped around the kindling.
