Magazine: Wilderness Survival is a recipe magazine about living off the land. It mixes plant knowledge with stone tools and simple spears.
Reading it teaches eight recipes. Herbalist teaches a survivor to recognise useful and dangerous plants. Knap Stone Blade, Make Improvised Whetstone, Fire Harden Spear and Bind Spear Head cover tools and weapons. Grind Up Plantain, Grind Up Comfrey and Grind Up Wild Garlic turn wild herbs into medicine.
The magazine is a loot find. Fishing storage rooms, outdoor supply stores, gun stores and hunting lodges hold it most often.
Uses
Herbalist is the standout. It lets a survivor identify poisonous berries and mushrooms. It also reveals medicinal herbs that can be eaten or applied as a poultice. The Herbalist trait gives the same knowledge and also helps with foraging.
The three grinding recipes turn Plantain, Comfrey and Wild Garlic into poultices. Make Improvised Whetstone needs Maintenance level 1. Two Stone make one Improvised Whetstone.
Knap Stone Blade needs Knapping level 1. It turns a Sharp Flint Flake into a Stone Blade, with a hammerstone, mallet or knapping tool kept.
Fire Harden Spear is open at any skill level. It takes a Wooden Spear, with a sharp knife or meat cleaver kept. The result is a Wooden Spear (Fire Hardened).
Bind Spear Head needs Maintenance level 1. It ties a blade to a Long Stick or Sapling with Zip Ties, Leather Strips or Twine.
Reading the magazine also eases boredom and stress. A read copy still has a use as padding. Make Magazine Body Armor and Make Magazine Limb Armor accept any magazine as crude armour.
