Foraging in the water.

[King jjwpenguin]

 

 

 

Questions:

• Would you catch hypothermia when you forage in the water in winter?
• Will it cool you down in summer?
• Would you get infections (like leptospirosis or something) when you have an open wound and are foraging in the water?
• ... Do you wade in the shallows to forage or can you swim/dive? O__O
• Would you have a (very) small chance to "forage/catch" a fish from foraging if you have a high enough fishing skill? (just a suggestion)

I'm curious O__O

 

All good ideas, I like the thought of there being risks with things, so you actually have to think about what you're doing instead of just jumping into something without having the know how. You could wear Wellies to stop yourself from getting foot infections maybe?

 

wet suits to stop the freezing right away but drag it out in the case you need to forage. Diving/swimming, possibly not because i think they said before that they wanted the river to be a barrier i think. still would like to see that. possibly currents as well that may sweep you away.

 

 

Maybe you could walk in the shallow end or even swim in the deep end but you would drown before getting to the other side, so it could still be a barrier.

 

well someone wouldn't just drown before getting to the end for no good reasons. that's why currents would make sense. instead of "hey look i cant touch or swim anymore like i could a second ago. so i will just die. bye world"

That's what I meant..Drowning because of the curent.
