Sample narrative:
- had a hell of a camping trip one
weekend
- been ... 2 or 3 years ago now
- went out into this woods
- was a million miles from nowhere
- and ... we cleared a campspot ... campsite ...
John and I
- and uh ... set our tents up
- and gathered up some rocks
- and made a firepit
- had a good-looking camp when we were
done
- gathered up a bunch of brush
- and made a big windbreak
- by late Friday afternoon ... we were ...
pretty well settled in
- uh ... like I said
- had a good looking camp ...
- the Saturday that followed
- the Saturday of that weekend
- we just did a lot of shooting
- and actually just lounging around camp a lot
(laughter)
- did a little bit of hunting
- really just ... took it good and easy that day
...
- but it was Sunday morning
- when we got up
- that was the high point of the whole
camp
- we ... uh ... got up that morning
and
- wearing our camouflage ... uh to
...
- basically didn't want to be seen by anybody
else
- and preferred to see them before
w-
- them before they saw us
- we were fixing coffee over the
campfire
- and I happen to look up
- out across this field
- at the edge of the woods
- about 300 yards out
- this ... six buck deer
- beautiful
- just majestic as hell
- they stood out there for about a half
hour
- noses in the wind
- trying to catch our scent
- never really did
- we finally decided to show them what we
were
- and so we both stood up
- and (small laugh) ... all you saw was six
white tails
- headed the opposite direction
- but it was a truly fantastic sight
- we closed up camp that day
- and came back to civilization
- never really been able to forget that
day
- or that campout
- as a result of it (long pause)
- its th-
- that's the sort of thing I guess that makes
life worth living
