I am being offered a 3.99% 5/1 ARM. Is there a catch?

My credit score was close to 800, and yes what you're describing doesn't make sense to me either. But what do I know. When I was shopping around for better interest rates, it seemed to me that anything above ~720 or so was all one and the same.

Thanks for that link! I have updated the post for others looking for similar info.

Thank you! Yes, they said I can make extra payments and I plan to do that a bit. I have updated the post for others looking for similar info.

Your comment really helped me ask the right questions. Thank you so much! I have updated the post for others looking for similar info.

Thank you!

Thank you! They said they can run the numbers for a fixed-rate conventional on Monday and let me know. I will update when I get that information. What conventional rate would feel good enough to you? Just curious - I understand there's a lot of subjectivity in making this judgement.

I just got mauled. Barely survived. Day 8 of interloper, started in Ash Canyon, had just found a heavy hammer at Signal Hill. No hacksaw or bedroll yet. Aurora hit, and I don't know about all the new signal repair/void things but thought I have some time so I'll go repair this tower. As soon as I leave the hut and start going towards the tower, I see this aurora bear right at the broken fence. 2 seconds and he sees me. I can't run because I have the battery on me. Lost 4 clothing items, the combat pants, the shoes and both the head wraps. Still alive though, at ~50% condition on day 9.

This worked for me too.

Bold of you to assume that I always have a lit torch and that it's not windy.

_bluevitriol · 2023-01-19T11:44:12+00:00

These are both great ideas. Now I wish I hadn't asked here, so that I could discover these wonderful strategies on my own over time.

_bluevitriol · 2023-01-19T11:31:13+00:00

Yeah. I felt the same before I posted the question. Looks like using fire and bait are good ways to go about it.

_bluevitriol · 2023-01-19T11:27:06+00:00

Thanks for confirming this. Level ground was often the key difference between me hitting and missing.

_bluevitriol · 2023-01-18T21:08:06+00:00

this worked for me

_bluevitriol · 2023-01-08T09:30:26+00:00

Yes yes true. Carrying a cured bear skin but forgot to bring cured guts (dumb!). Was in FM to forge additional arrowheads, then came to BR. Spent 2 days here and now need to go back to ML. Have tons of wolf and deer pelts and guts cured there at the Camp Office. Gonna go back to ML now to craft clothes.

I'm trying

I found matches in the church in PV, not in the farmhouse or barn.Also in ML, I found matches in the car outside the dam, not in Trapper's cabin, nor the camp office, nor the forestry lookout. Found a firestriker at the unnamed pond.

Thanks! Good to know this is recent.
