PLEASE tell me you you aren't running around the neighborhood in nothing but one pice of rabbit fur and a raggedy seal pelt...

That's a plastic basket. But that's real milkweed.

I've had the best luck with dry milkweed stalks. Don't think I ever tried it with green ones.

But on the dry ones, you can peel these ridiculously long fibers off the side of the stalk. There's usually some "bark" stuck to the fiber, but you can brush that off with your fingers. And then twist away to make multi-ply cordage.

I had a piece of two-ply on my shelf for a while, and it was impossible to break by hand.

I totally understand what you mean, now!

I went out looking for a straight branch today, found some maple trees.

Nothin.

Nothin here either.

It can really get you down, not finding what you're after.

But sometimes,

sometimes you get lucky.

Sometimes everything is perfect.

And ya just gotta dig into it.

You work at it.

And with the right effort.

You get what you're after.

Then at the end of the day.

You can treat yourself to something special.

Woah, slow down!

You realize every second in the game is equivalent to 6 days??

Give me a second.

Turkeys are kinda funny

Boars are a kind of a plague in some places

There are a lot of wild turkeys around here, well, I say around here, but they are about, let's see, if a step is a meter, and springs are about 40 steps apart, I'd say the closest ones I've ever spotted are about... 40 springs west.
It'll take me a while to track them down.

I'm not in the right biome for wild boars. Though I have seen some pigs I thought might be semi-tamed boars.
There are a few farms with pigs on them within walking distance, but I probably won't be making carnitas any time soon.

There are still bears around here. I've seen a few wild ones as well as some kept in pens at rest stop about 200 km south, probably won't be going there any time soon. From what I know of the bears around here, they dig burrows in the ground for winter, but they sleep anywhere they like from spring till fall. Generally in dense vegetation.

A good portion of the farms around here are in fact corn farms. Contrary to what you might think, most people don't farm berries, but those that do, are famous for it, and hundreds of people help to pick them every day when they are in season. The ones called strawberries, are the most common, but there are also blueberry farms, blackberry farms, and apple orchards. No one to my knowledge grows gooseberries. Another very important crop around here are sugar beets. If you've ever had breakfast cereal, chances are pretty good you've eaten sugar from this area that started out as beets. There is also a town nearby, about 45 km NW, that is so proud of their potatoes, they hold a festival every year and it attracts people from all across the server. There is also a town famous for it's cherries, about 200 km west. As for the corn, most people drink it. It get's heated until the sugar comes out, and gets added to water, along with other things. What's left of the corn gets fed to cows, but it's also used in many other things, like breakfast cereals.

This one is about a 400 km trip south.
I probably won't be making a seal skin coat from it.

No promises though.

CatX · 2019-06-11 06:27:11

What? Sealskin coat should be your first piece of clothing!

Sukallinen · 2019-06-11 10:10:49

Actually, mom dressed me, so skipped that first seal part. The closest (free-roaming) seals are really endangered, a subspecies left after glaciation, so people even do snowbanks for them to nest during winters (if it doesn't snow early enough).

Couple hundred left, so it takes a while to clothe 5-million nation.

Never seen live turkey, though seen Turkey couple times.

Corn is staple in grilling parties, but pre-cooked usually.

Hopefully this helps,
Yours,
S

WalrusesConquer · 2019-06-11 20:03:58

Look out for snakes behind trees, I hear they common around this time of year!

Vexenie · 2019-06-11 20:09:36

I'm surprised NOONE has made an 1h OHOL challenge, where you try to make as much stuff as possible from nothing

Yeah, it's a very short time, but sometimes an hour is what you'll need to make a basket and some rope
