Wilderness Survival; Wednesday, Second Period [03/13].
Well, everyone! You were back in Duscae again this week, and, while, sure, Gladio could have just done this lesson on the generic mountain, but all the talk lately about trips home had him feeling that nostalgic ache a little bit again, and he'd really wanted to use some Eosian beasts for this lesson, besides, so it just felt appropriate.
Even more so that he had Ignis there with him for this one, too.
"You guys may have noticed sort of a trend in the lessons lately," he started with a wry grin, "that might have already had you speculating on what we're doing today, and, if the weapons I've got here with me aren't the final nail in the coffin....we're working on hunting big game today. Now, usually, in survival situation, hopefully, small game, foraging, and fishing'll be enough to do ya, but if it's really rough, or we're talking about an apocalyptical situation that requires sustaining along with survival, knowing how to take down some heavy hitters for a more substantial meal. I know not everyone's a fighter and not everyone's going to be naturally inclined or trained to take down a behemoth, and if that's you, you're definitely not going to perfect it in one class period, but hopefully, you can at least get a feel for it, and pursue improving on it in your own time if you feel it'll be helpful.
"And, of course," he continued, "once you actually have the beast down, it's important to know what to do with it, too, and that's what I've got Ignis here for today. Don't get me wrong, he can show you some great ways to take down a beast, too, but where he excels that I don't is in knowing how to turn that beast into food afterwards. So we'll spend a little time talking about different methods of big game hunting, then we'll chat about big game butchering, and then give you the chance to try either of them on your own.
"Sound like a good plan? Then let's get into it..."
