DescriptionFour men stand in a row in the woods and a fifth squats down in front of them. There is a pack on the ground to the right of the man that is squatting. An axe is secured to it, with the handle pointing upwards. The undergrowth they are standing in is thick. The faint outline of a mountain ridge is visible through the trees behind them.
