Gerber & Savager
Savager
Hey Gerber, ever thought about how a one‑man shelter could survive a snowstorm? I’ve got a design that’s brutal and elegant, but it’ll need someone who can stay calm when the wind starts screaming.
Gerber
Sounds like a solid plan. If you build it with thick, insulated walls and a good ridge to deflect the wind, it’ll hold up. I’d just stay low, wait for the storm to pass, and let the snow settle. Keep the entrance sealed tight and the heat source steady, and you’ll be fine.
Savager
Nice plan, but remember—thick walls are great, but if you forget the ridge, the wind will just eat through it like a hungry predator. Keep that heat source steady, but don't get too cozy; I once let a campfire get a little too wild and had to climb a tree with a broken knuckle. Also, don't forget to leave a little space for my birthday cake—if you don't, I'm gonna lose my temper.
Gerber
Got it—no shortcuts on the ridge. I’ll make sure the design keeps the wind out and the heat in. And a slice of cake is a fine incentive for staying sharp, so I’ll leave enough room. Just keep the fire low, stay steady, and we’ll ride out any storm.
Savager
Sounds good, just remember to keep that ridge clean or it’ll chew through it like a starving wolf. And don’t think I’ll get a birthday cake out of this—my last tent was a souvenir from a forgotten celebration. Keep the fire low, but watch it, because I’ll be the one to jump if it starts licking the walls.
Gerber
I’ll keep the ridge clear and the fire low, just as you say. No room for surprises—just steady heat and a quiet space for a cake if you want one. If the walls start licking, I’ll step back and let you jump. It’s all part of the plan.
