I feel like maybe I should start knowing this stuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm just thinking with all the wacky weather it might be useful knowledge in case of sudden apocalypse.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Would this be helpful?

Hey, I just realized that Kate pulled the "I don't know how to work guns" line (from last night) on the island too, in the pilot. Which was stupid, because since then she has outed herself as a tracker who used to hunt with her father.

This site gives a range of 200-600 pounds per boar. Which would feed a lot of people.

Without refrigeration or salting, how long would boar meat last? Like if you killed a boar and cooked it over open flame, and fed everyone supper, wrapped the cooked meat, I assume it would last through to the next night if stored in a cool place like the caves.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Or you could make boar jerky, which would last a long time. My former BiL made venison jerky and used to take it out on hikes.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
You could also wrap it and store it in a warm place, like buried underneath some embers. I need to find my old copy of The Boy Scout Crusoes. It was full of great tips like that.

I remembered that too, Lee. I took a break from brushing my teeth to inform Tom. I was very proud of my powers of memory.
(if you had the college experience I had, you'd be proud too!)
I think someone switched her to "Lying Liar that Lies all the Time By Default". Or, "Telling the truth is for the weak!"

You might be able to smoke boar meat, or make jerky. And while I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to do so, I betcha Locke does.
The unexpected big waves didn't bother me that much. I figure the whole thing was filmed over a month ago, and they seemed just "there's a tropical storm 100 miles south-east of us" big and not tsunami big. Mostly it seemed as though there was a really annoyed DM somewhere who has been trying to get the characters off the beach for the past three gaming sessions, and he finally just threw the dice and said, "OK, big freaking waves are coming in. Roll your swimming skills or go into the woods already."
