In today's scouting trip to the Islets outside of Buya, I learned the importance of making sure a bridge is secured before crossing it, due to the natural weathering effects on the materials made in construction. I tripped on a loose stone while crossing, but thankfully, nobody saw, so it didn't count. Also, you can secure a location not just with a lock and key, but by installing trps and wildlife around the area to naturally guard the place. I also learned you can use steam and heat to bend wood to craft a bow for use of self-defense and securing dinner. My favorite part was learning how to track an animal (or person). My favorite technique involved a distraction tactic to turn the attention of my target away while I snuck up downwind through the foliage. This worked on the Ranger guide herself, as well as a doe that I pressed into a ravine. I had to let the doe go, though, because I'm a sucker for big brown eyes staring through my soul, except for when they belong to a Rooster. I rather enjoyed the Ranger Guide and appreciated her efforts in taking us all the way to the Islets. My only complaint was the lack of provided snacks. I think in the future, she should provide trail mix of some sort, with berries and nuts, as incentives to stop talking while she's trying to instruct us on things. Signed, Page Ganda | |
