Still missing mans belongings stuffed in a tree with a female (maybe?) skeleton found near the sign, man deemed far to weak to have built the sign. No tools found, a recording of a man screaming for help, and the felled birch tree sign made of logs thats estimated to have taken 2 days to build. Sign was estiamted to be built 2 yrs before.

Better than most horror movies plots.
