[QUOTE="Vaalingrade, post: 9111556, member: 82524"] I mean in all the E's really. Except I think there were actual environmental variations on survival gear in the 3x Biome books (Stormwrack, Sandstorm, and Frostburn) And they were hilarious expensive. You are correct, I [I]am[/I] great. That's the whole deal. D&D historically only views Exploration as a series of logistical chores and penalties for not doing them rather than... like... [I]exploring[/I]. Like, I treat survival checks in travel as chances to find cool stuff. You don't find food, you find a giant tree that is overtaken by a honeycomb, only the bees are jarring that honey up for a bear-were druid who gives you some jars in exchange for your silence as to where Grandma Bruin's Hunny comes from. Or you go fishing and get an encounter where you fistfight with a bear like that one commercial -- it's all very bear-based, to be honest, but can be expanded to raccoons and possibly squirrels.
