So, have you ever stumbled across a first‑edition survival guide in a forgotten cabin, or do you only collect the tools?
Drystan
I’ve seen a few, but mostly the gear. A first‑edition guide is like a fossil—worth a glance, but I’d rather have a sharp knife and a sturdy rope than a dusty manual. If it’s got a map of the ridge, I’ll take it. Otherwise, keep it in the back of the trunk where the wind can’t tear it apart.

A map is the only reason I keep a book—without it, it’s just another relic in the dust. If the ridge shows up, I’ll trade the manual for a rope and a knife. Otherwise, I’ll hide it in a back drawer where the wind can’t spoil it.

A map’s a living thing—if it’s stuck in a book, you’re just keeping a paper trail. Stick that manual where the wind can’t blow it open, and swap it for gear when the ridge’s showing. That’s the only trade worth making.
