  1. No. And if they did, I hope the wolves wouldn't eat the wolf meat and the bears wouldn't eat the bear meat.
  2. 100kg of meat. My record. Nine more of these and I'll have a ton of meat. Soon after, three wolves were kind enough to show up so now there is 110kg in the pile.
  3. Nothing against the idea of alternate fire starting devices but what about using the magnifying glass. Also check these stats out - 200 days in Interloper with 35 fires.
  4. Holy crap. 8AM temp today is -1°F !!! Funny how some of them look really friendly and others like pure evil.
  5. Lol. So have you been going to that timber wolf place at all? Love to have the link for those web cams again.
  6. Sounds like bliss to me. Hot and sticky here. Don't know why but playing this game helps me cope with the heat.
  7. Yep, damn tasty too. Just try not to walk on any one-armed corpses you find lying around. How the hell have you been?
  8. Likewise, congratulations. It's been a while so forgive me if I'm wrong but you're an organic chemist - right? With a bad habit of raiding popcorn stands in movie theaters looking for precursors for your experiments. So what's it going to be - a job in academia or out into the real world?
  9. Please feel free to talk about creative roots and influences as much as you like. Even Mad Max which I have to admit, when it (and the sequels) were first released, I viewed as a mixture of fantasy and gratuitous violence rather than post apocalyptic science fiction. A very young Max did start driving a predominantly yellow (plus red/white/blue) Ford and you can find the supposed timeline, triggers for events and reasons for the apocalypse here. The Challenger and Chernobyl disasters did occur in the same year - in January and April of 1986 respectively. Finally it has been much too long since I read "On the Beach" to offer comment except to say that the premise is as fanciful as it is depressing and that I have no memory of Neville Shute being any sort of a literary giant. The movie (from 1959) is black and white, and Shute reportedly eventually distanced himself from the production because of the number of discrepancies between the book and the film. In the beginning the film acknowledges the help of the H.M.A.S. Melbourne and it is seen in the movie. This ship never fired a shot in anger but has the distinction of sinking two friendly warships in separate peacetime collisions, killing a total of 156 personnel. The last of the compensation claims from the first collision was finally closed forty-five years after the incident.
  10. Sandgroper is a nickname for someone who lives in the state of Western Australia. The mod turns cedar firewood into Jarrah. Jarrrah is a tree from Western Australia which would be more widely used if there were more of it. You can build most of a house out of it but when it is seasoned it gets very very hard. There's a lot of old bridges made with Jarrah beams and these are quite sought after when these bridges are replaced. Anyway sandgropers, carpenters and cabinet makers would probably be the most likely people to be talking about Jarrah. Especially sandgropers.
