Looks like we're a pretty big drain on this community.

[She's wary as she writes it. Most of the people who'll see this, she hopes, are from the same Luceti she is. But there's no guarantee.]

So I'm organizing a hunting party.

Anyone who doesn't know how to hunt and wants to learn? Meet me at six in the morning by the stable.

Those of us who do know how to hunt will pair you up with a buddy. We'll leave at six-thirty sharp.

Hunting'll be Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Fishing'll be Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.

[If there's one thing she learned in Luceti -- learned from Katniss -- it's how important these skills are.]

If we're going to strain these folks' resources? Least we can do is try to help.

It's all common stuff where I'm from. If I see anything I'll grab it, but I wouldn't mind learning how to make things either. Self-sufficiency is key here.

I just braid thread for a line. Knot it good around either a pole or a thick enough stick, add a sharp wooden hook. Bit of bait on the end helps.

For nets, I just use worn out clothes. Cut it into strips, knot it together.

Simple, but effective. I have fishing line, clear so the fish don't see it and strong. Good for a lot of things too. I'll give it to you, might be useful for hunting too.

Huh. Interesting. Never used it before.

Works well for triplines, lashing things together too. Could be used as a snare though since it's pretty thin you'll want to braid several strands together.

I'll have to take a look at it, then.
