[h3]Delicious Protein: Satisfaction of the hunt[/h3]
"Hunting for animals here can be challenging, but the satisfaction of a successful hunt is unparalleled. Today, I tried something new - I tasted bat meat for the first time. The flavor was surprisingly rich and gamey, satisfying a longing I didn't know I had."

[h3]Carryable Firepower: Swift reloading makes me the real danger...[/h3]
"Until recently I used a coconut to haul around bullets and powder. Finding a holster for my gun and a box for bullets speeds up the loading dramatically. For the first time in a while I feel powerful."

[h3]Hungry for Crab: Exquisitely tasty...when grilled to perfection...[/h3]
"The crabs are hard to seize, but I have found various ways for catching them - sharp sticks, guns, rocks. Alas, the crabs are worthless without cooking and I must also take care not to burn them. Nothing comes easy on this island."

[h3]Crack the Coconut: hit, smash & shoot! [/h3]
"I've gotten good at opening coconuts. At first, I used a stone, but it took a while. It's quicker to seize the coconut with both hands and smack it against rocks. But the fastest way is to throw the nuts swiftly at the rocks, which also spares my hands a couple of bruises. I could also shoot the coconut with a pistol, but dare not squander a bullet on that."

[h3]A Defensive Circle of Fire: Would flames keep the beasts at bay?[/h3]
"By now I know that the beasts hold fear for fire. I wondered whether a grand circle of flames around me would keep the beasts at bay. But there is always a chance that something will attack from the sky... what ought I do then?"

[h3]Clinging to Life: Either I hold on or meet my demise...[/h3]
"So I've been pondering...the hounds prove to be terrible at scaling rocks and even more so with ropes or vines. What if I spent the whole night on a rope grasping a flame in the other hand? A torch ought to endure through the night. I pray my arms do likewise."

[h3]Mastery in Climbing: I have found power in heights[/h3]
"Isolated on this island, I've become adept in navigating its jungle. I've uncovered shortcuts and learned to climb with finesse. The dense foliage and elevated terrains now yield to my practised moves. I have found power in heights."
