  1. I do believe you can break crate down in the darkness by hand... takes a long time depending on size. 1 and half hours on the big ones, an hour on the medium size. I think the little milk crate size is a half hour.
  2. Moose Hunting right outta my back door... so i am walking up to the quonset hut relatively overencumbered after spending the morning out at the fishing shack and as i crest the little snow burm across the street I stumble across a wolf on a fresh deer kill right next to the station. It hadnt noticed me and i was able to draw my bow and with my only arrow I took him out for an easy two for one shot. Suddenly I hear a bellow across the way and there's a moose posturing aggressively, (never seen a moose in that area before,) so I switched to the rifle and took a shot. Now that kinda made him angry and when he charged i was able to dispatch him with another round. Nice looking animal with a pretty impressive rack! I inspect my kill and it yields 37.4 kilos of meat... I head back into the quonset to relieve myself of the 12 kilos of fish and to gear up for a lengthy harvesting process. I knew there was still a little life in the big guy because when i came back outside, he had moved and was now laying on his other side... after a long harvesting session, 5.4 kilos of wolf, 9.8 kilos of deer and 37.4 kilos of moose meat. subsequent cook time was almost 14 hours nonstop once i got it all inside.
  3. This was too cool when I came over the snow mound... a little further down the road, I am heading to see my buddy Jerry... the sound track here was so surreal, I had hairs raising on the back of my neck.
  4. The stunning sunrise looks like the horizon is on fire. Those colors are so intense, I just had to share them!
  5. I have really been enjoying this game again after some time away. All the fleshed out details have taken an already excellent game and just boosted it to that next level really bringing a newness about it that makes we want to play for hours on end. anyways, I ramble, but that's what I do... I am a rambling man and the Nomad life is the way for me. Really lovin the Nomad Challenge, it's making me examine a whole different style of game play. Very cool, indeed. How you like my bedroll pillow? home is where you lay your head
  6. Early release? like today maybe??? i don't/can't wanna wait.... please?
  7. ...checking out? or ...almost made it? either way, nice last glimpse pic!
  8. looks like you can butcher and cook all at the same time.... very clever...
  9. Awesome color on that tree from the setting sun. Guess that made the jump all the more worthwhile?
  10. @JAFO, ya know your comment about that archery skill book, kinda made we wonder if I was loosing my mind about having read an archery skill book in game. In this case, I do believe we are both right.. there is no actual archery skill book, but there is an Survive the Outdoors book that adds skill points to archery. I probably should have phrased that better...
  11. @JAFO, hmmm... i seem to recall it was an archery book, bwtf, i might have been hitting my bong that day... regardless, check out that shot! Boo Yah MoFo
  12. Morning stroll in Pleasant Valley... beautiful countryside when the wind isn't blowing and the sky's not snowing... Spoils of the hunt! I had just finished crafting a brand new survival bow and several fresh new arrows. I had also spent the previous day reading an archery skill book from cover to cover... as I am out walking that beautiful morning, I spy this buck up head in the clearing. I draw my first arrow and let if fly and it lands just a few feet short. For some reason that didn't spook the deer, so I drew another and with a steadier hand let this one fly... Instakill! Now I gotta find some more of those archery skill books!!
  13. I would call that an attended lamp oil production facility...
  14. The addition of the extra rock artwork created a little roof up on a ledge I like to frequent, I especially like the two trees as pillars hold up the roof I like to hunker down between the two trees and look out over the ice. I've dubbed it "Piddy's Perch" it's not located to far from the gas station. Check it out next time your down that way. here's the view from the perch... Love watching the wolf take down a deer on the ice... always glad it wasn't me!
  15. The elusive hunter's bunker or prepper's weapons cache on Mystery Lake. I thought it was a myth...
  16. yeah, about that... I've got a great boss... what I left out of my story was that I was at my desk at the time...lol
  17. It's day 188... I've made my third and final trip to the summit and I am carrying roughly 53 pounds and as I am heading back to the rope for my descent from the summit, that cave catches my eye. Funny I haven't seen that before, regardless, I slowly make my way into the cave only to discover a corpse with a fair amount of loot; ammo, rifle, some food and a book on shooting! Not wanting to leave anything behind, I gather it all up only to be so over encumbered that I cannot walk. As I am looking through my inventory agonizing over what to drop, my boss calls me. The call only takes about 12 minutes and all the while my character has been standing there in a high wind that turned into a raging snowstorm, chilling me down... I get off the phone with my boss, Ouch, my vitals are going down and going down quick. I know I have a ton of wood stacked at the bottom of the rope by the hollow tree, so I start dropping water and clothing items in order to lighten the load enough to move. Finally I am walking but somehow in the snow storm I get my bearings mixed up and end up walking down a steep embankment onto a ledge and now can't go back up. Well, you would think that is it... but somehow I crouch down and start duck walking inch by inch traversing the cliff side until I make it all the way to the bottom. I suffered some falling damage and that dropped my health further but I am off the summit and the prospect of surviving still seems possible. Still snowing, i see a few limbs scattered about, but by now I am down to 24 health and with every minute passing it drops more. I manage to pick up a couple of sticks and chop up one limb, by now I am down to 9 health. I hit the adrenaline and bounce back up to 17, get the fire going, its a good three hour fire, I can see another limb, close by but not within range of the warmth of the fire i had just built. I figured I could pop over there right quick and chop that limb, stay warm by chopping, but that didn't go over too well... the wind picked up while I was chopping chilling me even more, the adrenaline wore off, with my health now at 7 it was an agonizingly slow crawl trying to get back to my fire some 50 feet away, as the heart beats started sounding louder and the health meter dropped to 2, I sat in stunned silence as I slipped into the long dark.
  18. Sauna TLD Style Check it out, 63 degrees Celsius is roughly 145 degrees Fahrenheit, If only I had some coal!?! Car-be-Que Sauna TLD Style
  19. That's too bad. I was thinking you could upload them to the OneDrive then save them to your desktop or something like that.
  20. Can you email those screen shots to yourself on an Xbox?
