Ben and I have been playing vicariously and so far have chosen successfully...except for that stupid decision to search a house we didn't need to search. We need to remember in the future that when item rounds are over, we need to move on without searching things like this (unless someone shouts "help", of course).

My vote on this one was to cook the snake, which would've been possible because our inventory had a firestarter. Ben wanted to take it to the stream. Turns out either one would've been a good option!

Next round I'm thinking boiling the water is the way to go...that should pasteurize it and make it safe. I think you pretty much need to get the water up to 160, thought 180 would be better and if you can get it to 212 you're best off.
