And finally, enough teasing and taunting. Crazy Horse, my UKRAINIAN forged and hand built tomahawk. These pictures do it no justice, it's a balanced, sharp, solid, thing of beauty ! Ancient Smithy is doing awesome stuff and if you're into blades and tools of many types then give them a look and consideration. You'll be glad you did and yes, the wait was completely worth it ! #251WpnWrx #AncientSmithy #CrazyHorse #TomaHawk #Sharp #Tools #FieldCraft #BushCraft #SlavaUkraine #Forged #HandMade #Custom #Viking #Historic #Weaponry (at Ukraine) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch49vVkrGL3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I've made the smart decision of going after The Reaper title so I get to fish for the next couple of months.

Also blue cloud coral doesn't exist anymore, I swear.

#ffxiv #questionable decisions squad #i had like 97 fieldcraft leves already done from earlier leveling stuff #so i have about 400 to go #300 after today #the nice thing is i can let them accumulate a little and then do a bunch of turn ins at once #also after attempting to fish up blue cloud coral for a 2nd time i got nothing for nearly a half hour #so i'm just letting my retainer get those while i get 2 other things #just 3 leves turned in over and over again #WAIT NO IT WAS 93 NOT 97 DONE ALREADY #MEMORY HECKIN' ME UP AGAIN

TLT fans: did you guys know about the real Wake? I hadn't heard about her until we covered World War II in my world civ class this semester

Nancy Grace Augusta Wake (1912-2011) was a covert operative who was at the top of the Nazi's most wanted list in WW2, nicknamed "The White Mouse" for her ability to repeatedly evade capture. She was born in New Zealand with Māori heritage, grew up in Australia, and joined the Resistance after traveling to Europe and witnessing the harsh treatment of Jews in Vienna by the Nazis

Wake worked in the Pat O'Leary Line escape network until her Resistance organization was compromised by the Germans in 1942. After that she fled on foot across the Pyrenees—with several close calls that she escaped by flirting with German soldiers—and made her way to England to join the Special Operations Executive. She was part of a three person team codenamed "Freelance" which parachuted into occupied France. During this operation she got stuck in a tree after her parachute became tangled in its branches. The local Resistance leader who found her reportedly said “I hope that all the trees in France bear such beautiful fruit this year" to which she replied "Cut out that French bullshit and get me out of this tree"

While working in the Freelance operation Wake once biked 500 km (310 mi) without stopping in the span of 72 hours across Nazi territory to retrieve a new radio and codes after her team's were destroyed in a Gestapo raid. Without this feat, Freelance would not have been able to communicate with London and there would have been no more supply drops to support their Resistance organization. During the war she was also part of a raid which destroyed the Gestapo headquarters in Montluçon, in which she reportedly killed a Nazi sentry with her bare hands to prevent him from raising an alarm

Wake's fellow operatives described her as "a real Australian bombshell. Tremendous vitality, flashing eyes. Everything she did, she did well. She was an excellent shot, excelled at fieldcraft and put the men to shame by her cheerful spirit and strength of character." "She is the most feminine woman I know until the fighting starts. Then she is like five men." "We both came to the conclusion that she was 10 times the man I would ever be"

By the time of her death in 2011, Wake had been awarded the George Medal by Britain; the Medal of Freedom by the United States; the Médaille de la Résistance, the Croix de Guerre (x3), and the Légion d’Honneur by France; and the Badge in Gold by New Zealand. Due to a complicated relationship with Australia, she originally refused to accept any awards from the Australian government, saying that they could "stick their medals where the monkey stuck his nuts." In 2004, however, she accepted the honor of Companion of the Order of Australia as well

#the locked tomb #commander wake #awake remembrance of these valiant dead kia hua ko te pai snap back to reality oops there goes gravity #harrow the ninth #tamsyn muir #world war ii #world war 2 #nancy wake #nancy grace augusta wake #rambling #idk what exactly to do with this information but i thought it was really cool #and let me tell you. the fact that commander wake seems to be based on a key resistance op in WW2 at the top of the nazis most wanted list #does NOT make john and his empire look good. in case we needed anymore hints #ww2 tw #nazis tw #herstory #nona the ninth #greatest hits

He is an expect in clandestine fieldcraft focused on sabotage, ambushes and infiltration's into denied areas and hazardous environments.

Ghost is a quiet man who rarely wastes or minces words. He is adept and highly successful in executing missions alone.

Ghost has spent more time behind enemy lines than most.

I’ve tuned out a lot of politics news and accounts lately. It’s pretty clear which party is evil and which party is lazy and evil. There’s only like 7 decent politicians in the entire country.

I’ve been listening to more music and more podcasts about science. I’ve been lifting more packages, shoveling more dirt, shooting more guns, and cooking more food. To people worried about politics and elections I have this advice:

Make yourself as hard to kill as possible. Learn fieldcraft, shooting, and get fit.

Make your family as self reliant as possible with gardening and livestock.

You’re already living in post-America because America is dead. It’s better to spend time prepping for conflict than it is to whine online or watch the doomers on YouTube.

as neat as the current gun-industry CQB meta is it's definitely being used as a tool to weaken our nation's weirdos. someone who only fights within 7 yards is certainly gonna be skilled at movement and target acquisition but is a lot more vulnerable and not nearly as dangerous as someone who's studied fieldcraft; camouflage, land navigation, medium distance (~250yd) shooting, etc

There are companies all over the internet that sell rolled duct tape for emergency, medical, gear repairs and survival use for various prices. Here’s a simple do it yourself method of making them. A roll of duct tape in any color you prefer, a soda straw from any fast food or gas station and some paracord to act as a loop to secure it to your pack or gear. Placing the straw on the tape, start rolling it, you can place it on a flat surface to keep it Level when rolling onto the straw. Once you have the desired amount of tape, cut the tape, cut the straw close to the edge and run the paracord through the straw with a pen or pull through with a paper clip. Tie a knot at the bottom and enough loop left to run your finger through for a clip or carabiner to keep it secured to your gear ready for use. I’m using @atwoodrope 550 paracord. #bushcraft #camping #hiking #diy #ducttape #paracord #paracord550 #survive #survival #camp #hike #repair #repairs #fieldcraft #backpacking #outdoors #outdoorsman #shtf #medical #fak #emergency #bushcraftandprepping https://www.instagram.com/p/CiOO87qP9CE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ancient Smithy knocked it out of the park, the packaging and box are an extra nice touch. The hand written letter in English no less was also well received. The hardware and for and finish are very nice and I can't get over just how impressive this whole thing is!!!

Being a farmer taught me everything I know about survival and fieldcraft, fixing things and growing things.

Being in the Army taught me how to steal real good.

Being polyamorous and pansexual taught me how to make really good food.

Most Kroot will have "Scouts 7", so the ability to redeploy dudes will be invaluable.

Perfect to work with Mont'ka (all out assault on the most vulnerable angles) or Kauyon (redeploying into reserves to draw enemies out).

Of all the classes Raine's taken for all the jobs she has, who was the best teacher and who was the worst? Who was her favourite if neither of those.

Even narrowing it down to just the people whose official job it was to teach Raine things, it's hard to point to a single "best." For the purpose of this answer, I'm going with the ones from whom Raine learned the most valuable lessons, above and beyond the skills they set out to teach her - things she's continued to apply not only to one specific field, but in her many adventures since.

I'm also breaking it down between both the teachers of combat skills, and the ones who taught tradecraft.

With that in mind...

Among the leaders of Eorzea's fieldcraft and tradecraft guilds, H'naanza doesn't stand out as an especially colorful character. She has her shit together and she stays in her lane, focused on training capable armorsmiths and maintaining Naldiq & Vymelli's reputation for quality goods.

Most importantly, H'naanza has no tolerance for needless elitism. She recognizes that skill is learned with persistent effort, not based on inborn natural talent granted only to a select few. Raine learned a lot about professionalism from H'nanzaa, and a few important lessons about not letting perfectionism get in her way.

Speaking of colorful characters, though... Honestly, Severian barely had the inclination to teach Raine all that much about alchemy, so it's a good thing she had at least some basic education in the field before she came to Eorzea.

However, the great project that occupied Severian's attention over teaching happened to come to fruition while Raine was still struggling to cope with the tragedy at the Vault. The timing meant that Raine was forced to confront some home truths about loss and letting go. It wasn't at all a comfortable or pleasant experience, but it helped her come to terms with some things and it taught her a lesson she's carried with her since.

As far as tradecraft goes, Redolent Rose is probably Raine's favorite of her many guildmasters and teachers. Textile work was a chore she didn't particularly enjoy - mostly because as the only girl among her siblings, she was the only one expected to devote time to sewing and needlework while her brothers got to be outside doing more interesting things - and working with Rose helped Raine put aside her childhood grudge and recognize what a vital skill it really is. The two of them share a belief about the importance appearances can play in social interactions, and get along quite well.

No few of her tradecraft guildmasters emphasized the importance of listening to the client and understanding their needs. From Rose and their shared travails with Wawarukka, Raine also learned that sometimes the client doesn't know what they want, and often has no idea at all what they need.

Among the people who've taught her combat skills, Musosai holds a special place. The old man who set Raine on the path of the samurai taught her to take decisive action to confront injustice and stop evil, rather than hold back dithering over whether or not it's her place to step in. He also taught her to be ready to forgive, and to offer second chances when the wrongdoer seems sincere in their remorse and their crimes unlikely to be repeated.

Most importantly, Musosai taught Raine to hold herself accountable to the same standards of justice she applies to those around her, both for her own actions and the wider impact those actions have. And, at the last, he affirmed and reinforced the difficult lessons she had to learn about letting go.

I've talked before about Ywain and Raine's time with the Lancer's Guild in Gridania, but here he is again. Raine has lingering misgivings about how Ywain handled matters with Folques and the way that whole business played out... but the fact remains that the training she received from Ywain and the Guild has informed her fighting and adventuring style ever since, no matter what weapon she has in her hand.

From Ywain, Raine learned the importance of keeping a calm head and maintaining self-control under pressure. She also learned the difference between true courage, which sets aside fear in the face of danger in order to confront it calmly, and empty bravado which seeks to deny that the danger exists.

For the worst teacher that she's had, Raine can only have one possible answer: Solkzagyl. Fuck that guy. If there's anyone Raine would fistfight in a Denny's parking lot, it's him.

She found his treatment of poor Constaint reprehensible, and if he'd been the only example she'd had from which to learn how to be a paladin, she'd have hung up the sword and shield ages ago. If she never sees his face again, it'll be too soon.

As far as an overall favorite teacher, there's likewise no contest: X'rhun Tia remains the mentor Raine feels the closest connection with, and considers a particularly valuable friend. Though they haven't been teacher and student for some time, she's always enjoyed his company and looks forward to seeing him again and hearing what he's been up to since they last spoke.

#ffxiv #oc: raine d'arcy #h'naanza esi #severian lyctor #redolent rose #musosai #ywain deepwell #solkzagyl keltnaglsyn #x'rhun tia
