Stranded on a mountain hike as darkness approached, I found an abandoned tree shelter and used it as a safer place to spend the night while wolf howls echoed through the wilderness. The route was supposed to lead to a hunter’s summer cabin, but the real challenge was getting through a landscape filled with wolves, bears, and lynxes before nightfall.
High above the ground, the shelter was both reassuring and dangerous, especially on the slippery terrain. I set up camp there, listened to the wolves in the dark, and waited for morning in the cold mountain air. At sunrise, the worst was over, and a simple breakfast of fried potatoes became the reward after a freezing night outdoors.
