BOOST.
Absolutely vital information to have if you live where the waters freeze over.
I especially appreciate this guy's commitment to actually showing the steps himself. That cold-shock response is a bitch and willingly subjecting himself to it couldn't have been fun.
I don’t live anywhere near water like this, but I am still memorizing this knowledge because:
* I might use it in a story someday.
* Any knowledge that staves off the dying is good knowledge.
Some kids passed away today in my region from falling in icy water, so thought it was important to boost.
I've actually seen the update to this post. The two talked it out and she brought up her concerns not only for him spending nearly all his time digging, but also concerns about his safety while digging (gasses, the tunnel collapsing). He hadn't realized he had been spending so much time in the tunnel and hadn't thought about the possible risks. So what does he do?
He starts making time for his partner, and also starts looking into stuff to make the digging a safer thing to do. He doesn't stop digging, but he limits how much of it he's doing so it isn't consuming all of his time.
I was so happy to see that the two of them talked it out like adult. That's something that rarely happens on the internet.
Mole Instinct
Much respect for the fact that she's comfortable with his fossorial lifestyle as long as his habitat is structurally sound and he's still getting healthy social enrichment.
Just curious: What do you call it when there is no central meal cooked in your household, and individual members are expected to find leftovers/cook for themselves?
I love this because like 99% of this kind of paleoart is patriarchal Man
the Hunter type fantasies but these guys are just like “fuck it we’re
outta here”
