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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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."

I grew up in Southern California ibefore we were supposed to just say no. I suspect my high school experience was much like your college.

I never got the impression anyone was doing anything other than trying not to get bit by a dinosaur, or worrying about their father, or making up excuses for Iraqi bondage.

I just don't get why she would lie about the gun back at the beginning unless she automatically defaulted to, "lie whenever anything comes up- it's better/safer that way."

the more I think about it, the more FUCKED UP that seems. In that situation, especially.

I'm always puzzled by people who lie for no discernable reason.

I think that's part of it, though I can also understand not wanting to reveal that she's handy with a gun. People would have questions, and then she'd have to lie more. Better to lie in a way that people wouldn't pry into.
