General Discussion / Re: weight of dried fish vs dried meat

Since one dried bear cut will fill me up, I see little value in carrying the larger dried salmon if I have both on hand. I'd normally trade the salmon away. The few times that I've played a fisherman, I liked the efficiency of drying large amounts of large fish all at once.

Suggestions / Re: Wild boars can be very aggressive

I hunted down a wild sow. Was beginning to butcher it when another showed up and went kamikaze! Maybe it's supposed to be a boar but it was named a wild sow. Anyway, it was plenty belligerent.

I've had a number of encounters where when I killed one member of a herd, most ran, but one alpha type got aggressive. I've seen this in wolves, sows, and even reindeer.

Midwinter of my first year. The ice was slow to freeze as the temperature rose and fell. That was lucky for me, as I found a drowned bear, boar, and adventurer over a month period. But everything is frozen hard now and the snow is about calf-deep. I went looking for another adventurer's shelter and heirloom trident and was able to trap and kill the bear that had mauled him. I'm hoping to spend the rest of the winter trapping foxes and other fur-bearing animals.
