Frank needing help getting out of bed thus morning

So Evan walks into camp

And he has a towel inside his shoe and he is dragging it behind him.

So we ask why?

He tells us he lost his one sock by handicraft.  And rather than get a blister he decided to wrap his whole foot in a towel.

Well at least he didn't get a blister...

Oh and we found his sock the next day. At least we think it was his.....
