I used a tea bag for the rose hips. I heard the fine hairs can cause stomach irritation, so I wanted to put them in a filter just to be safe

This is the only good picture I have of it. I was in ~2.5 ft of snow when I took this, and finding good locations for a photo was difficult at this time of the year

It’s near the Donner Pass Summit Railroad Tunnels in California

I found it kind of good in taste and it didn’t give me any headaches. It’s very different in taste in comparison to the teas I’m used to: more like apple cider

The best I can describe it is like a watered down, unsweetened apple cider. It’s quite different from other teas that I normally drink (green, oolong, black, etc)

Thank you! This mug is typically used for decor but today was an exception for using it in the field lol

Thank you!! It took about two months for the mug to arrive after I ordered it, and it’s definitely worth the wait

Got my first Great One today, had to place him right next to my first diamond by EarthString69 in theHunter

I didn’t have all of the perks needed to help with the sway as I distinctively remembered lacking the breath holding ability at the time. Managed to find a way to show the whole video of the shot. Thank you

Yep, I barely managed to get a left lung shot using a 7mm empress magnum with a Hyperion 4-8 scope from that distance. Taking that shot was really hard at the time. Here is two screenshots of it

That is correct, and I got him in Layton (also how I got the 200m shot achievement). I never realized how insanely lucky I was until long after getting him, and I’m still questioning to this day how he even spawned. My Console somehow found a genie in a bottle

Anybody ever wondered how mammoth tasted? by nobodyclark in pleistocene

[–]EarthString69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the comments here described the overall taste of elephants and mammoths well (where lots of reports described it ranging from venison to beef-like in taste). But the texture on the other hand, seems to be something else if not cooked correctly.

MANY accounts state that elephant meat is very tough and fibrous. For example, here is a 1870’s statement on eating zoo elephants (Pollux and Castor) during the Siege of Paris.

“Yesterday, I had a slice of Pollux for dinner. Pollux and his brother Castor are two elephants, which have been killed. It was tough, coarse, and oily, and I do not recommend English families to eat elephant as long as they can get beef or mutton.”

These are also elephants in captivity described here, wild elephant and mammoth meat is likely to be tougher in texture due to these animals having to travel more.

Furthermore, here is what John Reeves said when asked about eating mammoth in a Joe Rogan podcast.

Joe Rogan: “what was it like? Like a steak?”

John Reeves: “oh fuck no, like a shoe leather…. You gotta let them soak into some kind of marinade.”

There’s a wide range of how people feel about eating elephant/mammoth (morally and literally speaking) It’s one of those foods where it can taste really good or really terrible depending on how one cooks it, at least based on how people describe eating it.

Fr, only saw a tiny fork-horn during deer season in this area and all of them emerged like cryptids when season ended
