I have been doing a lot of thinking lately. Mainly about the newcomers arriving in New Bark Town.

After the massive snowstorm that came in before the holidays, I think we can all agree there has to be a better contingency plan to get new arrivals the proper help they need to get by. Maybe there is a way we can get information out to them better. I'm open to suggestion but here is what I'm proposing:

A basic survival guide. We already have a guide outlining the wildlife here but nothing about basic wilderness survival. Under these conditions, having a sleeping bag is not enough to get by through the night.

To be honest, besides learning it from others, I do not know the first thing about surviving the outdoors. But I know there are others out there who do. If we all pool our resources together we can make something that will save any newcomer a whole lot of grief.

Now I'm willing to compile the information together. All I need is a little help with the legwork here so to speak. Here are a few items to give everyone an idea:

1.) Weathering your campsite
2.) Building a fire from scratch
3.) Geo-navigation
4.) Notable Wild Pokémon Dangers
5.) Storm/Severe Weather Preparation

Now I may have unintentionally left some subjects out. But if this is something you're interested in then send me a message.

[For those of you who are messaging Jayden via video be prepared to see a man all scratched up in the face from his new baby shiny Torchic he got for Christmas. Who knew baby fire chickens like to play peck the shit out of Jayden's face as soon as it hatches? So far the winning nickname for this little guy is SHOO! ]

Not a bad idea. I'll add that in.

Is there anything you would recommend?

Several things, actually. Sturdy clothes and a good quality bag should be top priority, followed by a well stocked first aid kit for themselves and their team. Keeping that stocked is a good habit to keep; you never know when you'll need it.

I was thinking maybe to include perishable food in there also. Canned goods at least.

Too heavy. If you're going to be travelling for any longer than a few minutes, lugging cans around is the fastest way to tear your bag, and some of those routes can take over a week to get through.

Besides, perishable foods spoil too quickly without refrigeration. Things like jerky or cup noodles would be better for the first few trips.

Then it needs to procured on the spot. That's a hard task to do with the snow covering everything, don't you think?

It is. That's why most people don't travel in winter unless they're flying somewhere or have no other choice.

But with that kind of thinking, don't you think that carrying canned goods when you're struggling to get through snowdrifts would be too hard for most people? It's not as easy as it looks, you know.

It was worth the brainstorm. I'll just stick to getting the new arrivals from point A to point B for the time being.
