  1. So, telling time has turned into a bit of a random thing as opposed to the whole 'x hours of daylight/nighttime left' we used to have. This idea has always been on my mind, but never really thought of mentioning it as it wasn't quite needed until now, but though it isn't as necessary as I would like it, it still could be a useful tool. Anyhow, so analog watches; I'm thinking of those older wind-up ones that require no electricity to work...you simply wind them and the springs' tension keeps the hands moving. I doubt that such a system would be affected at all by the electromagnetic storm that has caused the frying of all electronics and sent you crashing into the wilderness, and having a watch would be useful for planning out travels, looting expeditions, etc. I don't know how common/rare if should be as a spawn, but I think it should, if implemented, slowly lose condition over time as foodstuffs do, as opposed as to per use as typical tools do due to the nature...as for repairs, it should take quality tools (I mean, watches are some pretty delicate pieces of equipment) and possibly 1 or 2 scrap metal. Other than that, I haven't thought much of it, but I wanted to get it out there while it was on my mind.
  2. I've got two long guns and a handgun, as well as a bow. My baby is my 1903 Springfield firing the .30-06 cartridge (it was well worth the price tag: $1.300), and I'm pretty accurate with it too. Second is a replica .303 Lee Enfield that my grandfather gave me. However, I use it more for a showcase than hunting: he put a lot of work into that rifle. The pistol is the always-reliable Colt 1911, used in case I have a close-up encounter in the woods. To date, thankfully, I've never had to use it in that role. As for the bow, I can't remember the make or model of it. She hasn't been out in a while as I've been putting off restringing her. As for what I hunt: mainly deer, elk, and caribou. It's only when I can get out of the house though. (Completely unrelated, the shooting range down by me has an ACTUAL M1919 .30-caliber machine gun for sale for $2.500)
