The store on Zile Muri-yo was a well-stocked outpost store, located in the jungle about a kilometer south of the north coast of the island. Run by Père Ours, it was a built on a platform located nine feet above the ground, to protect against storm surge and rodents and other island dangers. The building was primarily constructed out of bamboo, and used a staircase on a crank for security. The store stocked many of the essentials for island life, including tools, basic foodstuffs, clothing, camping gear, machetes, and many kinds of ammunition.
