These Little Rascals Are Everywhere

Káti pulled a few turkey feathers out of his travois to add fletching to his atlatl dart. Placing one of the feathers in between his paws he took his bone knife and cut the feather in half before chewing off the excess point. Káti then took his pine pitch stick and started to heat the pitch over the fire. Once it started to melt he spread some on the back end of the dart, carefully positioning the stick with his paws so it didn't roll over. Then he gingerly set the pitch stick down then picked up one of the feather halves and stuck it onto the stick, holding onto the feather until he was sure it was dry. Once one feather was done he added two more so there were three positioned evenly to form dart fletching.

Káti turned his attention back to the atlatl. He had the tines removed now and all that was left was the base of the antler. He started chewing on it to form a notch that would help hold the dart in place. "This will be my first winter in Boreas as well."
