Apologies for the rather lengthy delay. I had to read the latest chapter a couple times in order to properly collect my thoughts.
Again, simply fabulous. You've really outdone yourself with all the subtle detailing and the clever descriptions. The humour, like the line about Calvin Klein, certainly doesn't escape me. Hahaha! Brilliant and highly successful at making me crack up. The constant wilderness & wildlife references really speak to me and once again confirm our like-mindedness. Those references really do it for me and carry a lot of impact when it comes to visualising a scene. I love it when your inner David Attenborough comes out
All in all, this was a superbly executed (and described) takedown. Great to see Phil getting a taste of his own medicine. I'm sure the likes of Steven and
@Stormee will be quite pleased when they catch up to this and learn about this turn of events

As for Phil's combativeness, you got that down to a T. He's a feisty fucker. I loved every minute of it. Can't wait to see what these guys have up their sleeves.
