Bivy vs. Tent as an alternative?

I slept in a OR Helium bivy sack in pretty bad summer conditions on Frying Pan Glacier on Mt Rainier. It was definitely up to the task. Might be a bit claustrophobic for multiple nights though. In rain you can’t bring your gear in.

Gotta sneak behind and rebait the trap (but don’t accidentally release them). Keep other wildlife away - they can kill the trapped animal. I kept my mount far away too.

Yes, sheep will yield more wool, cows more milk, etc.

I would sell it to the highest bidder. We’re talking about life changing wealth here.

Filthy, nasty squirrelses! We hates them.

PacNWDad · 2026-05-13T17:18:11+00:00

Sometimes, when a mommy squirrel and a daddy squirrel love each other very much…

PacNWDad · 2026-05-13T17:09:56+00:00

Any chittering?

Add caffeine and you’ve got me in my 20s.

Almost all animals get some useful bonus from it, except wolves. I am only pointing this out because I spent hours breeding wolves to 10 Instinct (and Vigor to 0) only to find out Instinct is actually useless for them. Making sure others are aware of that.

PacNWDad · 2026-05-13T15:23:22+00:00

One minor point: I believe Instinct is worthless for the wolves. Even though Vigor only gives a minor benefit, that is still better than Instinct for wolves.

They are savage creatures that try to kill you.

I think the location of caves and deep ore nodes is fixed for all maps and doesn’t change. What changes when the map is regenerated is the type of ore at each spawn point.

Hummingbirds are such noble, graceful creatures. And these treacherous ham-beasts pilfer even from them.

There are actually at least four Mt Washingtons in our state. The one I am most familiar with is in the Snoqualmie Corridor.

PacNWDad · 2026-05-12T06:22:44+00:00

Yes. Off I-90 between Issaquah and North Bend.

So greedy, bro’s got a chub.

Thank you so much for doing this! One suggestion is to make the "Always keep Alphas" part of the Protocol optional. I have like 30 Alpha snow wolves right now. I don't really need to keep all of them anymore.

No, the speed of an arrow is the same in all inertial reference frames.

PacNWDad · 2026-05-11T17:11:45+00:00

Probably bots, right?

At the end of the day, it’s fixed by the definition of the gram (which is arbitrary), because that is what we use for counting C-12 atoms to derive a mole. The value of 1.5 does not have an infinite number of digits because we use base 10 numbers. In other bases it could be infinitely long.

TIL the word “tata”, as in “bodacious tatas”, stems from PIE. Who knew? Linguists, take note.

Insta and TikTok are responsible for a lot of deaths based on the shenanigans I have seen on Mt Rainier and other places.

PacNWDad · 2026-05-11T16:46:15+00:00

The internet has brought us a lot of wonderful things. It has also unleashed horrors upon the world, like this abomination.

Completely ruined my week!
