Day 436: out of wood

Day 436:

I’m 15 floors from my home base and I’m out of wood to make pickaxe handles.

I’ve been able to stay with this particular cache for the past few days. It’s clean and secure and I put a furnace thing in a while ago to make sure I could stay warm.

(I’ve done my best to vent the wood smoke, which is to stay there’s a bunch of stairs above me. I really should consider building proper chimneys.)

(Yes, I’m going to die of lung cancer here. If something else doesn’t kill me first.)

But it looks like tomorrow is a haul back to home base to grab some wood from stockpiles there… and if there aren’t any stockpiles it’s time to go chopping.

I’m hoping I have supplies. My hands have enough callouses as it is.
