this was the best time ever bc my host had just changed the tire and I was like “oh hell yeah an old tractor tire! you know what that means!” and everyone was like “no….” the French boys and the Norwegians were like “we dont actually” and I was like my god….I’m the only hillbilly here….it’s Up To Me
and I like to think of that as the only significant cultural impact I made.
everyone’s so worried about my tree trajectory but that’s the best part about rolling downhill in tractor tires: so much of the shock is absorbed by the tire so you can pretty much do anything. in theory. i’m not a doctor I actually don’t know you could probably still die. one of the guys I roped into this went over a huge boulder and went airborn for a hot second though so that was fun
You see it among the trees. A shadow moving silently through the forest. As it comes closer you realize its a big stag. A stunning creature, a true king of the wild. You cant take your eyes of off it. How lucky you are to have come this way altho the game warden told you not to venture out on your own. You smile as you watch the animal get even closer. You blink your eyes. You blink again. Something… is off. The yellow-white face on a otherwise dark body. The way its head is twitching. And how the crown of antlers seem to move in strange patterns. You furrow your brow but before your next line of thoughts take hold of your mind the animal sees you. And it change. From the ragged body a pair of long arms unfold. Hands with thinn, sharp fingers are placed firmly on the ground, one on each side of its body, and with a heave it rise its upperbody and front hooves in the air, standing even taller on hind legs and long arms potruding from the withers. It throws back its head and screams, one hollow, dislocated sound, and then it rush towards you, six limbs giving it speed like no other animal. You dont even get a chance to take one single step before its upon you, empty blackness greeting you from the eye sockets of a grinning skull, ten arms outstreched and hands reaching.

This guy is completely handmade and original, ooak (one of a kind) and my own take on the mythical wendigo. He is fully posable, even the antlers/hands and every finger on all the 10 hands are, as is his jaw. Face, feet, ears and antlers are sculpted with lots of details and then painted and sealed. The body is made with high quality faux fur that Ive trimmed and he glow in the dark – his antlers, eye sockets, 2 long arms, mark on the forehead and teeth all glow for several hours. There will never be another one like him.
