We did another peanut butter addition to the experimental grids starting on April 17. It was the second PB add for the core field crew, and it went much smoother than the first one we did when we arrived at camp in March. There was much less peanut butter spillage this time and the cookshack stayed remarkably clean, and no one had got really covered in peanut butter either. We heated the cookshack up to a sweltering 35C to pour out the PB. It was almost like having a sauna right in squirrel camp! Putting out the peanut butter in the buckets on the grids also went really well and it was all done in two days.

Stirring the PB – Dieter, Bastien, Krystal and Beth stirring the peanut butter in the steamy cookshack.

Pouring the PB – Beth, Dieter, and Krystal pouring the liquidy peanut butter into yogurt containers.
