It's not like a character walks naked into the woods with only a dagger.And yes, fleas and lice don't live in the woods. They live where people congregate. With their is refuse, rubbish and garbage. They are problems with "civilizations" not in the wilds. If you don't wash yourself, your clothes, and your bedding, it doesn't matter if you live in a lean-to or the Ritz.Once more, I will say, doesn't matter. This is a game. Just like most fantasy game maps don't have outhouses or toilets, why do you want to simulate lice?For real life reference; with a hatchet, knife and twine, in one day, you should expect someone proficient to be able to build shelter, bed, a fire that burns 24 hours and water, without much challenge. They should also be able to set traps, probably catch some small game if they have a bow, fish if they have a hook and line, and forage for some roots and berries. Now, extreme environments like high altitude, winter, deserts, etc would change that, but again, that's not really shouldn't be the standard expectation for a game.Yes, this is not what they show on Survivorman or the other survival "reality" shows. That's because of 2 things; would not be worth a TV show, and often they have artificial objectives to achieve (i.e. find civilization, travel x miles, etc).</blockquote>
