Finally got my little boat south and north. Was still almost freezing in the north since the winter clothes can't be made without the modern workbench which requires aluminum. Had the leather coat, but what I did was take a bonfire place it, warm up and then run around like a chicken with its head cut off hitting all rocks since a lot had snow. Then I would warm up again, pick up the bonfire and run to the next visible clump of rocks, wash, rinse, repeat Finally got a bunch of gold and aluminum.
Thanks again for all the help. We old geezers need it.
