Bucky is way too much of a city boy to actually like poking around in the woods. But he's also experienced enough with living off the land to know that their best bet for something to eat - and definitely the best way to get firewood - is the forest. So, whatever - they're not supposed to be in here? Sometimes you've just gotta take risks, and this seems like a reasonable one.

Besides. If he runs into anything nasty, he's got the shield. And he's fast. Also, great at climbing trees. He'll figure it out.

He does not expect to run into a woman trying to smack her fists together for light... and failing?

When he steps out of the brush, intentionally making noise on the way, the shield is visible, mostly covering his left side like he's not sure she isn't going to startle or attack. "Was that supposed to do something? 'Cause it looks like you might be outta juice, if it was."
