The hour
Contact, a direction, a quiet cook
Short answer
People, the sun, a landmark, a stove that isn't a bonfire. The rest of a run that didn't die to wet jeans.
Also: how to play · fieldcraft
How it works
Who you meet, how you walk without a GPS, which silhouette you climb, what you cook without announcing the grid.
What to do
Pick a contact gospel before the first stranger. Pick a direction before the first split.
Don't
Don't invent blast radii, trader prices, or fan-map pins.
