Welcome to Stage U of :snowflake: :mountain_snow: 極寒の雪山 Escape :grey_exclamation: :mountain_snow: :snowflake:

Well that worked out well :deer: :sweat_drops:

The deer have been spooked and left but where they were heading ate puddles of water![/spoiler] [spoiler]We’re so thirsty, this is perfect. The water looks clean, but we resist going it down and decide to boil it as usual. Standing water… where the deer were hanging out, could be gross bacteria in there

See you at :five::three::grey_exclamation:

don’t worry, you’ll never run out of letters
it becomes AA, AB, AC, AD or 1A 1B, or 2A…
or you could even switch to kana “letters”

A lake? Fresh water and maybe some fish? Let’s go! :fishing_pole_and_fish::tropical_fish::fish:

It’s probably always worth it to get some water and food rather than walking aimlessly, so let’s head to the :ocean:

Go to the lake and take a swim? no it’s much too cold for that. We’ll just drink water. I swear I’ve seen this choice before. Are we back near the end of the book?

Welcome to Stage V of :snowflake: :mountain_snow: 極寒の雪山 Escape :grey_exclamation: :mountain_snow: :snowflake:

Well, Santa did not find us out here :santa: :sled: The grand view of the mountain range doesn’t make us feel better. On the contrary, we’re feeling lonely and small, and tired :weary: Perhaps a bit disoriented - it feels like we’ve been wandering in circles. Luckily, a large clear lake catches our attention, now that looks inviting! :fishing_pole_and_fish::droplet:This could be a good source of fish and water… we decide to make our way down. Hopefully everyone makes it :snowboarder:

we came to the lake to find something to eat, so fishing doesn’t sound too bad! :fish:

I’m starting to get cold feet on the fishing thing :sweat_smile:

my overwhelming memories of fishing (irl with a pole) are of catching… nothing. My whole childhood, we probably went fishing on every camping trip (several times a summer), and I think once I caught something so small my dad threw it back in. The other thing is - those memories are all from the summer. When it’s warm. When standing around for ages and getting wet near the water isn’t a catastrophe.

And now it’s freezing cold, and we don’t have a pole. So did I miss something or is there a plan? because if we don’t have a pole with a hook, I’m thinking I’ll pass on the fishing because I can’t imagine standing in the water long enough for a fish to come close enough to what - grab it? Those things are slippery! That said, I’m super curious how that route goes, so I’d be totally happy if we go there

I feel a bit silly now, coming all this way thinking of fish and then being like, oh yeah, how do we get it out of the water :joy:

PS

:flamingo:

Did you all know about flamingos in the Andes??? wow

That’s what I’m super curious about :sweat_smile: so I hesitated before making my comments because deep down I want to see what our hero comes up with. And then my 12 year old self gets in a huff and is like, no but it’s hard :weary:

Go Fish!

I think these books let us hand wave the hard parts of survival where you need mechanical and procedural know how to do the hard things as long as we’re making the right choices. Maybe we’ll sharpen a stick and go spear fishing or something? So actually surviving like this would be way harder than the book shows because fishing is hard, but I think if we try fishing here we’ll catch something.

We arrive at the lake to find a winter fantasy landscape - crystal clear water and a flock of… :flamingo: … that’s right pink flamingos! The largest you have ever seen. Alright, we came to fish, let’s get to it! :fishing_pole_and_fish:

Don’t miss the optional info scene 94 overleaf!

I was pretty indecisive about this one because both options sounded dangerous, so I read the info scene 94 to see if we had more information about the water temperature. It turns out it is freezing cold, so we might as well dry the clothes first?
