True. People can survive two days without water and two weeks without food. Hmm. Ooh! Idea!


>> Fray end of shirt, and take the thread. Cut off the bear's claws (face it we'll never cut off the arm in time) and tie the thread so that the bear's claws are tightly bound around your knuckles, all of them, in a row. Insta-badger claws!

Return to suspected waterspot and dig. DIG CAUTIOUSLY BUT RECKLESSLY!

Sounds good.  Bear claws have been made!  *link music*

You head back to that water spot and start digging.

When done, cover the hole with cardboard to prevent nasty water.

It's running water, but I agree with you. Also pin down cardboard with rocks.

You decide against digging into your grass mat and walk a little off, you start digging with the "badger claw" you made for a while.  Time passes.  You really want some water you think.  About 4 feet in you are about to take a break when the floor under you collapses!  You begin to plummet.  You fall for about 15 feet before crashing into cold water, it's freezing, dark, and you can't swim!!

Try to tread water. If that doesn't work, try to see how deep it is.

>>Fumble to the closest edge of this cavernous area. On the way there, look for anything floating in the water. If it is buoyant, grasp it. Then, hold on the cavern wall.

Once we have got ourselves to the side, drink some of the water to remove thirst.

Try to tread water. If that doesn't work, try to see how deep it is.

You splash around for a moment, before remembering that you're in a river.  You start getting pull to the west.  As you get dragged by the current you try to touch the bottom with your feet, you can't.  It's getting really difficult to keep your head over the water, you have almost no control.  A few minutes pass and you're getting very tired.  Right before sinking into the water, you notice a wooden crate nearby.  It's moving alongside with you!  With most of your energy depleted you try your best "swimming" to it.  You fumble with it and finally heave your whole body onto it, passing out.

...some time later...

You feel grass under your body.  You open your eyes.  You're next to a lake, I nice big freshwater lake!  You see the crate that saved you resting next to you.  You check your inventory and if anything is broken.  You feel a little sore and are still thirsty, but look at all this water!  You check your pocket, your switchblade-knife is missing...but everything else is fine.  There's some writing on the wooden crate.  It's getting dark.

No human is around, so what's the point?  You cup your hands and drink as much water as you can from the lake, it taste fine.  You grab some more grass and get to work with your bed making skills.  You place it next to a tree for good measures.  It's getting quite late so you grab the crate and haul it over next to your bed, no animal is going to steal this I tell you!  Wait, there was writing on the crate, right?  You try squinting at it, looking for the writing, but it's too dark to see anything right now.  You head to bed in your grass mat.

>>Continue.

Also, I do believe crafting a badger claw out of bear claws and a thread from a shirt counts as a level-up in Macgyverism skill.
