Cowboy  Camping  in   the   Bush

As usual we had fenced off a peace of grasing for the horses for the night and let them roam free out side the fence  just with their bells on, so we can hear them. As we where putting our bedrolls down for the night, and preparing our evening meal of freeze dried food, they kept on wandering off, so Zsolt put them inside the fence. A couple of hours later they where all outside of the fence again, grasing in all different directions. Somehow there was not enough feed or something else made them want to mouve on, anyway we made the fence bigger, (we have 320 yards (m) of fencing with us), cleared the bush, where the fence run, but the battery fencer on and finally the horses where content. 

We have a ground sheet each, which also doubles as rain poncho, on top of that that pads of the horses and the blanekts, a downfilled mat, 7 cm thick, and weighing about  700 grams. On top of that I have a summer sleeping bag, (winter  bag can be pulled over it) and my wool poncho, that doubles as blanket on the horse during the day. As headrest we use the cantle bagroll, and support it with the saddle.

I did not sleep very well, allways having an ear open for the bells of the horses. Them wandering off last evening left an impression on my mind. And it was cold. In the morning my second sleeping bag, was covered with frozen mist.
​After breakfast we immediatel had to climb and all day long we rode from peak to peak (about 10 of them) and ever so often, we run into some off road bikers, that waited very politely as we passed by.  After about 6 hours of above the tree line hiking, we decended into a valley where we found a spring, and let the horses drink. Further down there was a creek running and a beautiful medow, where we set up camp again. As usual the horses where grasing outside the fence (sparing the feed for the night) We where cooking our evening dinner, when 4 offroad bikers roared by and the horses took off up the mountain we came down on. I chased after them, Szolt and Simone following me, and I cought them again an the Spring, we had watered them before, about 6 kms up the hill. Halfe way down the mountain, Szolt and Simone arrived and we brought the horses down to camp again. They where put inside the fence and we finally could sit down to eat. We had covered about 40 km today.
