Howling Coyote might be a little odd, but the human companionship he offered was something Sam couldn’t long go without. The old shaman was also Sam’s only hope for Janice, and Sam was not about to abandon that hope after chasing it so long.

One thing was certain: Sam wouldn’t get anywhere by freezing himself to death alone in the night.
