Do you know what I will do?

Continuing with the task without the other two, Hino and I picked up anything that could be used as firewood along the way. The quota wasn’t really that high considering there were more than fifty of us. Getting a bundle of twigs, thick enough for our arms to hold should be enough. With each of us being given a sack to put the firewood in, the burden of collecting and carrying them was fairly eased up. The risk of injuries and scratches from carrying dried twigs in bulk using our naked arms was also removed. And with the sack being thick enough to not let those branches pierce through, carrying it over the shoulder lowered the difficulty of the activity.

The only reason I would sweat here was because it was hard navigating through this woodland that we were exploring for the first time.
