February life

[Sami]

Hey good people and fellow adventurers,

time for a little february life update as I've seemed to be semi-absent for awhile. What went down is that I took some time to travel to Norway to meet some friends,
came back and discovered the beauty of february winter snow blankets and increasing sunglight,
equipped my new cross-country skis and had a blast with them in the woods for days,
then developed a nasty flu -- and now recovering from all that.
Because of all this I've been very slow on e-mail as well, but as the week goes on I'll be replying at least to the urgent stuff.

On coding front I'd like to fix just a little more and then release 3.50 stable while the winter still continues - cause now I've got probably the greatest skis I've ever owned.

These are Taiga cross-country/hunting skis of russian origin. The proportions comes close to the great ancestral skis of ancient Finns - and many other ugric / north eurasian peoples.
They are naturally all wooden, and after this picture was taken a decent layer of pine tar has been put on the underside, and ties attached.

Hey man, good to see you back. Your new skis look awesome. Have fun with them and get well soon !

Being that my ancestry is primarily Norwegian and I love the snow although we rarely get it here in California (asides from in the mountains) I am somewhat envious of your location

Nice cabin!

Thanks for the compilemt, masif.
I don't feel tree planting really suiting the nature of the game, it feels something more modern in the world where trees are scarce.
Also, a planted tree would practically never grow big enough to be used for example as a good construction log during a lifetime of a character.

Thanks for the answer

Yes, You have right.

[masif]

Hmm, and what do You think to add possibility storage the wather when its raining and boiling the snow?

Hi there, this is my annual visit. I'd like to request an update to 2017's development history before you forget any details, because this diary is really entertaining.

Also I hope you record more videos about bows, they are quite comfy.

Hello, an interesting and noble tradition you've got there
And that is a fair reminder as well. I always have to read late release news and ponder for days to come up with those annual summaries, so not to worry about forgetting things. Update to the diary has been on my mind as well.

Also I hope you record more videos about bows, they are quite comfy.

Now I'm not sure if this references to archery stuff on Enormous Elk YouTube channel?
If so, then I should let you all know that archery videos can be found at my new designated Ugri Archer channel here:
