Roy came along this time to Bomdo, Upper Siang. When I planned this visit, I was pensive: what about food, firewood is a pain to work with. And cooking for one person more so. But I didn't figure it out earlier, it was Roy who came along. From morning one, he was the pyromaniac. I would in the four days he was here, wake up and smell the fire; a great start to the day. He also has super culinary skills. We'd had some very tasty curries in Itanagar together. There was this one day even in Bomdo, when we were out of veggies and we walked an hour collecting ferns. This was the one time we foraged for veggies, made the fire, cooked the meal and ate it, overall a very nice experience. He is indeed a great firestarter!
Following his stay in Bomdo, I got into a rhythm; I wake up, make the fire, cook my meal, pack it for field work, come back, cook again and feel pretty good about the whole thing! Thanks Roy, cheers!
