Winter seemed to be ending, but it came back and dumped in a heavy layer, or two, of snow. French, Pancake and I once got a high school credit for sleeping out in just this type of weather.
In our school gym class was set up into units. We could pick different tasks, perform them, and earn credits. French convinced us to spend two nights in the woods in the middle of winter.
We hiked out into the woods. Then dug out some deep snow trenches, and lined them with some tarps. Then we placed another tarp over top and buried it with some snow. That first night we were cold for sure, but French had a plan. During the day he sabotaged one of the shelters belonging to some of the girls from our class. He'd enact the second part of the plan later.
French and Pancake also managed the food situation. They had told me to bring foil, and the stuff for smores. They'd bring the rest. French and Pancake each brought a bag with 30 McDonalds cheeseburgers. They'd hand them to me. I'd wrap them in foil and warm them up nice and slow over the fire.
The girls went to bed that night, and their shelter promptly collapsed. French invited them over to our fire. I warmed them up some burgers, and made smore after smore. In a typical French fashion the four girls transitioned from the fire, into our shelter.
It was a much more pleasant night, and warmer night, but to this day I've never had another McDonalds cheeseburger.

It feels good to find such an interesting topic on the internet like this one nowadays. I was greatly interested with what you have shared and posted with How to file bankruptcy in NY. Thanks for this anyway.
