Soren & StayOut
StayOut
Hey Soren, ever thought about how a wilderness survival guide could be organized like a library? I mean, mapping plants, shelters, and risk levels in neat categories—could be a handy system for both of us. What do you think?
Soren
That’s a clever idea—think of a Dewey Decimal system for the woods, with sections for edible plants, shelter techniques, and risk assessments. I could catalog each plant by habitat and season, then shelve the shelter methods by size and complexity, and put the risk levels in a quick-reference index. A tidy, searchable reference could keep a wilderness guide just as orderly as a bookcase.
StayOut
Sounds like a solid framework—just remember to keep the index flexible; storms can turn a high‑risk area into a low‑risk one if you know how to move fast. Maybe add a quick‑check row for “current weather” and “water source” so the system stays useful on the fly. What’s the first category you’d lay out?

I’d start with the “Shelter” section—sort it by material type, then by setup time, and finally by weather resilience. That way you can quickly pull the right method for a sudden storm or a long‑term bivouac. Once that’s in place, the rest can slot around it.
StayOut
That’s a smart pivot—material first, time second, weather third. If you’re really digging into it, just be ready to swap the whole order when the wind changes; a tarp that’s quick in sunshine can be a nightmare in rain. How many categories are you thinking before you hit the “misc.” box?
