One of the most important items that you can craft in The Long Dark to improve your chances of survival is an Arrowhead, and then later the Survival Bow and Simple Arrow. Doing so will mean that you can protect yourself against predators, and even turn yourself into the hunter, not the hunted. How to Craft an ArrowheadTo craft an Arrowhead in The Long Dark, you will first need to find a few things, starting with the Heavy Hammer and some Scrap Metal. You’ll also need some Coal, plus you can only craft an Arrowhead at one of two forge locations in The Long Dark. Once you have all the ingredients, make your way to one of two locations. You can either use the forge at the Riken in Desolation Point, or you can use the forge at the Old Spence Family Homestead in Forlorn Muskeg.At the forge of your choice, start a fire with whatever firewood you have on hand, letting it burn for at least 30 minutes.
It’s at that point that you can add the Coal. You’ll need to add several pieces, bringing the temperature up to 150 degrees Celsius. Make sure the fire will last for several hours, and then begin the Arrowhead crafting process by clicking on the forge itself. Each piece of Scrap Metal will create two Arrowheads, and the process will take one hour. If you want 10 Arrowheads, expect it to take you five hours and five pieces of Scrap Metal.If you’re playing on the Interloper difficulty level in The Long Dark, you’ll want to take full advantage of your time at the forge and craft yourself at least one Improvised Hatchet and one Improvised Knife.
If you can craft more, we highly advise that you do so, otherwise it won’t be long until you fade into The Long Dark.
Frostbitten survival adventure is one of the best in the genre,. On top of offering its own uncompromising vision of humanity pushed to the brink (all without a single zombie, alien or robot), it now has a steadily evolving main story arc that’s being released one episode at a time.
While today’s free Vigilant Flame update doesn’t contain much in the way of new plot, it does set the scene as well as introducing some major new gameplay mechanics.The biggest new feature of the Vigilant Flame update is a whole new region to explore. Hushed River Valley is a beautifully scenic piece of wilderness without a single human-made structure to sully it (or seek shelter in), and it branches off of the Mountain Town map.
It’s apparently the hardest area to survive in, but contains some nice rewards for dedicated explorers.The other big new feature is manual cooking and melting of snow-ice, implemented in a pretty natural and intuitive way. Make a fire or heat a stove, put a pot (or an empty tin can) on the heat, and put your meal or drink of choice in the vessel.
Wait until cooked, but don’t stop too soon or late or you’ll risk food poisoning or burning it to an inedible crisp. Probably the most thematically interesting part of the Vigilant Flame update is Buffer Memories. At night, when the aurora glows bright, computers may flicker to life to reveal their last active images before everything went dark. These notes can be collected and kept in your journal.
Right now this is mostly for spooky world-building purposes in Survival mode, although Hinterland reckon that they may be an interesting way to lead players to hidden locations and stashes in later updates.On top of these three big new features, there’s a small mountain of tweaks, and bug-fixes made, including some quality of life improvements made to the radial quick-select menu. You can see.The Long Dark is available via and for £23.79/$30, and is currently half price on too. The Vigilant Flame update is out now.
I’m really excited about this because fire cider is something that I’ve wanted to make for a long time, but for some reason haven’t until now! I was inspired to finally make it this season because it’s one of the recipes in the online that I’m taking at the Herbal Academy. There are many more awesome herbal recipes and so much to learn there, I highly recommend their courses! Here is how to make fire cider, an immune boosting health tonic that is super easy to make.The term “fire cider” was first coined by Rosemary Gladstar, herbalist and author of the books and, both of which I own and are awesome.
There has even been a bit of a in recent years over the name “fire cider,” but I’m not going to get too much into that. Fire Cider RecipeThis recipe is from the, and it is adapted from Rosemary Gladstar.According to the Herbal Academy, “Fire Cider can be taken a little bit every day to boost immunity and circulation and keep viruses and bacteria at bay.
Rosemary Gladstar recommends taking 1 tablespoon daily to warm you up and 3 tablespoons daily at the first sign of a cold.”I am lucky enough to have access to fresh turmeric root, so that is what I used, but dried works perfectly well. I was also too lazy to grate the ginger and horseradish, so I just sliced them. It really doesn’t matter all that much how you do it in my opinion.First layer all the ingredients into a quart sized jar, and squeeze in the lemon or orange juice. Then cover everything with apple cider vinegar.Cover with a plastic lid, or use a piece of parchment or wax paper to keep the vinegar from touching the metal lid. Shake well and keep in a dark and cool place for one month.
Try to remember to shake your fire cider daily.After one month has passed, use cheesecloth to strain out the herbs, and pour the vinegar into a clean jar. While straining, squeeze out as much of the liquid as you can.Add 1/4 cup of honey and stir well until thoroughly incorporated. Taste your cider and add up to another 1/4 cup of honey if you feel it’s needed.Take a spoonful, or even half a shot glass full if you’re brave, whenever you start to feel under the weather. It can also be used as a general immune booster and taken daily during the cold and flu season.Fire cider is spicy from the hot peppers, horseradish, and ginger, but in a surprisingly good way!
I thought it was going to taste awful, but I actually love it. I used jalapenos, which aren’t quite as hot as some peppers, but you can use any extra spicy pepper you like if you’re feeling up to it. This will definitely be something I use all winter long to keep sickness at bay!Feel free to add in other herbs and spices to your fire cider as well, such as, cayenne, ginseng, lime, grapefruit, schizandra berries, astragalus, parsley, oregano, and/or peppercorns.Have you ever made fire cider? What do you like to put in it?
I have been making this for 2 years and it really works. But the ACV is a problem for my old weak teeth and sensitive mucous membranes, so I use vodka instead.

Dangerously delicious! No more than 15 ml per dose or you feel the alcohol. I grate everything and use it after 2 weeks, figuring that the alcohol draws out the juices quicker then vinegar.
The left over material I use in cooking, whether vinegar or vodka infused. Next time I will infuse for a full month to see if it is significantly stronger in flavour.

1/15 f/16 ISO200 105mmIn the wise words of Frankenstein’s monster, “Fire bad!” The heat and smoke can damage your equipment, the flame can quickly get out of control and burn things you don’t want burned, and most importantly, fire can flat out kill you. 38” f/36 ISO100 105mm Fire as an AccentIn this type of shot the flame is one element of larger scene. It can be the most difficult kind to pull off because of the additional lighting needed to show the flame while still seeing the surroundings.
The key here is to expose for the flame and then add light to the rest of the scene. If you’re not able to control the lighting situation then you’ll need to look for shooting angles where you can put the flame against a background that will let it stand out. A darker, solid background is preferable, but anything that can offer some contrast should work. Fire as the Primary Light SourceFire can make a wonderful light source with its soft shadows and warm color.
Longer shutter speeds, wider apertures, and higher ISOs are often the right choice for campfire situations. Medium to shorter shutter speeds can be used as you get closer to the fire and have more and stronger light falling on your subject.When working with the narrower depth of field that comes along with a wider aperture, try setting your focus on objects that have hard contrast edges (like silhouettes of stationary objects) rather than what you may consider the main subject. This can give you an overall sharper looking image since the shifting fire light will blur edges and soften shadows of the objects it illuminates. Driver huawei e5372s bolt download. 1/60 f/8 ISO800 500mmTake a close look at a flame and you’ll see multiple colors, gradients, and intensities so it should go without saying that the color of a flame is a complex topic. It’s dependent on temperature, fuel-type, how much oxygen there is and how well it’s mixed with the fuel, along with many other factors. With that said, when it comes to photographing fire, a few simple ideas should help you control the color of your flame.In fire photography, the most influential factor in the color of the flame will be the fuel being burned. Wood, paper, clothing, or anything else that puts off a lot of unburned particles (smoke) will probably burn yellowish-orange.
Butanes lighters, propanes torches, liquids with high alcohol content, or other fuels that can more easily mix with the available oxygen before burning will burn more on the bluish side. There are additives (pyrotechnic colorants to be precise) you can buy to add to your fire to change the color of the flame. I found some pre-packaged powders at my local camping store designed to be thrown onto a campfire and they worked pretty well. Or, if you’re into chemistry, this wiki article describes which compounds can be used to create which colors:Of course, the easiest way to get control of your flame color is to add the desired color in post.

As practice, see if you can accomplish the three primary types of fire shots we’ve covered – as the subject, an accent, and a light source. Try shooting a similar series to what I have above and make notes of what settings it takes to freeze the flame and what it takes to illuminate a subject sitting next to the candle. Then, use an artificial light source and take a shot where you can see both the flame in detail along with the well exposed subject next to it.I always have a great time adding fire to my photos and I hope I’ve given you a good start on making your own.

GARY STUBELICK October 7, 2012 12:46 amI can best be described as a 'Time Artist', in that much of my work involves what has or can happen over given periods of time.
Most widely known for my 'Timelight Picture Studies' which explore the possibilities of drawing & painting with light during a prolonged exposure. I have been exploring this medium for over 30 years.Much of what I'm doing over time closely parallels how a traditional painter approaches his or her craft, I just happen to do it with light. Light Pencils,Fire Crayons,and Sparklers are my drawing tools and brushes. Light sources include everything from simple penlights to elaborate pyrotechnics involving highway flares and fireworks.
