TLD things you've done in real life

[conanjaguar]

Sometimes you'll do things in real life and only then realize that they're very TLD things to do... I'll start:

• Harvesting rabbit meat by hand
• Crafting tinder plugs from sticks and newspaper
• Trying to start a fire only to waste five matches
• Playing solitaire for an hour straight
• Not being able to concentrate on reading because dagnabbit, I'm hungry! Go figure .
• Mentally selecting how long I want to sleep

Lol😁. 

These days I think the only thing I do is wonder why I'm freezing inside my house lol..

Whenever I see a fallen tree in the woods, I wonder if there might be some kind of shelter in  direction of the top 🤔

• consume whole cans of coffee, then weep/gnash my teeth when it's all gone and I lose "Warming Up" benefit
• open a can of food with a knife (it costed a LOT of the knife's condition...)
• get barked at by oversized canines
• throw stones
• pick up sticks in the forest
• try and start fires (and fail)
• try and mend holes in my clothes (and fail)
• get food poisoning from eating old meat
• mountainclimb
• walk inordinate distances with the hope of finding/seeing something neat
• use an axe to try and 'break down' furniture
• find a firearm laying around in someone's house hidden beneath furniture like they're a sneaky Hinterland's dev trying to sneak items past me I SEE YOU
• get hypothermia risk

Old meat?   Looking round people's houses ? Not sure if I should laugh or wonder what's wrong with you lol

Lol... I can sympathize with that one....

You'd think with all those jump scares Astrid/Will wouldn't have that problem

Since I play TFTFT I had my first RL oatmeal in years. Didn‘t like it much with water though.

Apart from sometimes harvesting wild plants I guess my main thing is shooting bears with a flare gun, hitting wolves over the head with a prybar and redecorating my ribcage with a little help from my friend mr. Moose.

Did you sprinkle some Peach Halves and Rose Hips in there, with a drizzle of Maple Syrup? 🍁

You've hit a wolf IRL with a prybar!? 😱 Crunchy ribs are best ribs!

Let's see....

• Watched the aurora
• Tried to start a fire only to waste several matches
• Exploring outside in a blizzard
• Using birch bark as tinder
• Wearing crampons when walking on icy surfaces
• Picking up something only to say "This'll come in handy."
• Walking around on a frozen lake while trying to guess where the ice is weak

Recently moved in to my first house and it's now TLD ready as I've just had a wood stove installed.

Really happy with it and I get way too immersed  when playing now.

Nearly froze to death (in game) because I was stoking the fire and forgot to pause the game ,lol 

 

[Glflegolas]

Oh, and a couple more:

• using a woodstove to keep my house warm
• foraging for limbs outside with a hatchet, though I usually use a chainsaw and cut dead trees for firewood
• Spending the night in an off-grid cabin when it's -20C outside

[LunarLime]

• Got cabin fever
• Sprained an ankle, and wrist
• Started a fire, and warmed food over it
• walked over a frozen lake
• Went beach combing I guess? It was an actual beach with sand.

Walked

Hiked up a mountain with a 85 lb pack

Explored an old, abandoned prison -- I have pictures that look amazingly like scenes from TLD, but I don't know how to post them.

That reminds me of a recipe that I should’ve requested!!

Oatmeal+condensed milk+peaches= peaches and cream oatmeal
