Subsisting In Subsistence

SPRING 2024 SERIES Sugar Man was doing a lot of miscellaneous stuff around and about the Motor Lodge when it occured that others might like to share in even the mundane tasks of day-to-day Subsistence life. Well, at least some of them anyway. Hang out for a little while with Sugar Man and join in on the everyday happenings. You will be edified and enthralled.

SPRING 2024 SERIES Sugar Man was on the way to get into something that is on our unwritten list of t'ings we want to do... And wouldn't you know it - an airplane crash happened. We cannot ignore such a bounty of loot, so THIS t'ing is what got pushed to the top of our list. By the way, we are now enjoying April weather. Sugar Man is getting an itch to build. Let's put together a plan. Yo? News Update: We now have a 'Farsebook' page, and there is a 'Censorshiptube page, which has been running for weeks. We have not published many videos at either location, but there will be an arrangement. Things are changing and developing here and in RL. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless!

SPRING 2024 SERIES Sugar Man picks up where we left off in part 1 of our Quickie Grind video. The airplanes seem like they may be more frequent. Perhaps Sugar Man's timing is simply impeccable. Whatever it is, we get a lot of planes crashing and lots of great loot. And that is perfectly fine. Know-what-I-mean? Look for a seasonal update to the weather here - very soon. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless!

SPRING 2024 SERIES For a long time Sugar Man has talked about the massive amount of loot that is always available here in Subsistence world. Very often I pop into the game so Sugar Man can loot for a few minutes...a little here, a little there...it all adds up. This is how I build my inventory of resources. Pecking away bit by bit yeilds long-term rewards with high levels of stored loot. In this new variety of video series' Sugar Man will share some of these previously unrecorded and unpublished loot search-and-find operations. Things will be more interesting with airplanes now a part of the game. This video is the premiere of such grinding endeavors. For some reason, we have a knack for often being there (in-game) when an airplane comes through. Pretty cool, and pretty profitable. Yes indeed. Due to length this video has been split into two parts (as you have probably figured out by now). Thank you to everyone for your support, messages, and for watching my Subsistence videos. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless you and yours.

SPRING 2024 SERIES Sugar Man did another cave run or three. The bats were active and they kept us fed. Bat steak is a delicacy you know. We did a bit of building, and there were some harrowing moments...for Sugar Man and the bats. The goal was to get black crystal mainly, and after that as much as possible of all other loot items available down below. It would be nice to have an occasional chance at black crystal in the high caves. It might sound a bit fanatical, but we might go back to exploit the caves yet again. If we do there will be some building. For sure. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless you and yours!

SPRING 2024 SERIES Sugar Man is finally back in the caves. There were changes in plans and delays, but we have triumphantly returned. There are so many things to do in the caves, so watch this video and the next one (coming soon). Sugar Man will have no trouble finding something fun or maybe something funny to investigate and exploit. Hint: There might be some building too. Let's do this! Come for the fun. Stay for the love God Bless you and yours.

WINTER 2024 SERIES >>> SPRING 2024 SERIES You might recall Sugar Man had a plan to go back to the caves. Well, in this video, two separate attempts to reach the cave system (via the north lake) were interrupted and altered due to crashing airplanes. Sheeesh! Lately, these planes have been falling from the sky like leaves in late September. Well, you know what I mean. Multiple deaths was another challenge, but we did rise above it. [pardon the pun] LOL! Come and join us as Sugar Man gets rich on crashed airplane loot, but does not make it to the caves. Not yet. God Bless you and yours. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

WINTER 2024 SERIES Sugar Man's first scrap metal challenge went well. Forty-three scrap is nothing to sneeze at in this world. We took our time and gathered scrap metal at a leisurely pace this time. There was also an airplane crash break for which we did not include footage, nor did we count the found metal scrap from the crash site. One thing we know is that every time you venture out into the Subsistence world you never know what to expect. It is like a box of chocolates. So if we do another challenge it will be a totally different set of circumstances and surprises. Another cool thing we discovered was our first beehive of the year (i'm pretty sure it is the first). Either way, it is always great to find some honey. Next we will head to the caves. See you there. God Bless you and yours. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - MUSIC CREDIT(S): Music by Ethan Meixsell is part of the YouTube Audio Library (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqR8ZgS2TA4&list=PLKCo4y0JbV2aPETcF1dH6R6yDfpGVbC2p&index=14

WINTER 2024 SERIES Simply put, Sugar Man ended up stuck inside a Moose after what seemed to be a nice clean kill...until the trigger was actually pulled. Call it a bad timing, call it a delay, but either way, Sugar Man was not quick enough with the trigger. Not quick enough to avoid getting stuck inside the Moose, apparently. More videos are coming real soon. Look for the upcoming CHALLENGE video. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless you and yours.

WINTER 2024 SERIES Sugar Man recently started building a shack in the middle of Clearspring Falls. Eventually it will be expanded into a 'Lithium Palace', but for now we can use it to hang out and store loot when we are down there gathering lithium. The location is great, and we were actually able to enjoy a good deal of success in the hunt for lithium, so the mission was accomplished as planned and we had a great time exploring the zone like we never before have done. Sugar Man's old rule applies perfectly here. You can find everything you need... "You Just Gotta Poke Around". Come For The Fun. Stay For The Love. God Bless you and yours.

WINTER 2024 SERIES This video begins with something new. We start out with a series of Highlights from the last video. This is similar to what TV shows do each week. Don't worry, I won't be doing this for every video...not even every week. LoL The episode starts with Sugar Man gathering the loot from an airplane crash that actually ran into the garage, here at the Motor Lodge. It sure is convenient to just step outside and gather the loot. We end the video by inviting you to join Sugar Man for his next adventure. See you there. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless you and yours.

WINTER 2024 SERIES This video covers the days-long build of ATV number two (aka Ride #2). We need not discuss the cost, and I will leave it at that. It is a lot of fun to build an ATV; especially when you do not think of the cost. Seriously though, if you are planning to build an ATV, I suggest you take the time to enjoy the process. Actually sit there and watch. It happens slowly, but as the build progresses you will get to see the various things like wheels, tires, and the engine appear as the Vehicle Construction Bay robot works steady and methodically. It's pretty fun...especially when you remember not to think of the cost. Tip: Take advantage of the wait time and get the fuel, battery, battery charger, and other supplies ready to put in your trunk. You will of course need to gas up your new ATV, so have your fuel and battery ready too. Believe me, you will have plenty of time to get ready. You can also use the time to earn back a lot of the materials you will spend. Remember, you gotta earn... Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless you and yours. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - MUSIC CREDIT Cool Rock - Take the Lead by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)

WINTER 2024 SERIES SUBSISTENCE Sugar Man finally takes the journey to the western lake for some good old fashioned lake-bottom looting. Does anyone else out there suspect that the western lake is the deepest lake? We picked up a nice little haul of pearl, sandstone, kelp, and other items we found along the beach. If onlly Sugar Man had a metal detector. Maybe someday. The plan is to keep going back out west to hit that lake up as often as possible. Is it time to build the second ATV? Hmmmm....

WINTER 2024 SERIES Building the Obsidian shacks was a blast. We worked for a long while and we accomplished at lot. The final result for each of the five obsidian shacks was outstanding. Each location has its own characteristics that make it unique. All shacks are more than satisfactory at serving the intended purpose, and a couple could even still be upgrade further. The plan for this video was to recount, review, and tour the shacks & chalets. We had a good look and a review of each shack/chalet. There were unavoidable yet exciting adentures as well as perils along the way, and we handled them with grace. Well, mostly. Thank you, to everyone who took time out of their day to watch. Join us to see how it all unfolds. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless you and yours.

WINTER 2024 SERIES There is definitely no shortage of airplane cargo loot. All you have to do is be here. The planes fly by randomly, but regularly. Just show up. In this episode Sugar Man was returning from Ore Rock (which is only yards from our garage), and another airplane came buzzing by the motor lodge. Join Sugar Man, and watch to see what all we scored. There was more than just airplane cargo and scrap metal. Look for more videos very soon. Thank you, very much, for following the channel and watching Sugar Man. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless you and yours. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - MUSIC CREDIT(S): 🎵 Track Info: Title: Back Jack by Musicoman Free 🎧 Available on: YouTube: / @musicomanfree Instagram : / musicomanfree Web site : http://www.musicomanfree.com/ Facebook: / musicoman-free-112012067599895

WINTER 2024 SERIES This is a short clip of Sugar Man under attack. Sugar Man was attacked during the log-in process. I went AFK while my game was loading and before I could take the captain's chair I was victimized by the nearby wolves. It serves me right for leaving Sugar Man in a vulnerable spot when I last signed out of the game. Likewise, it is a reminder to pay attention. Hmmm, I think me dear old dad used to tell me that too. Look for more videos very soon, and Thank You, again, for following the channel and watching the videos. This video was short and sweet, with elements of surprise and humor. More videos are coming. Have a great weekend. Happy Friday, 2 Jan, 2024. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless!

WINTER 2024 SERIES Sugar Man was doing some late night grinding and housekeeping after advancing the calendar to June. This change was supposed to be only to see what the new update looks like in Summer months. Out of the blue came an airplane flying right above the hill out front - yes, that same hill, where we grind so many thousands of logs. Sugar Man ran outside to spot the plane. It's signaling lights were flashing brilliant bright green, which made it easy to see. It was a spectacular sight to behold on that night. The plane flew down past the north lake and turned east. Seconds later it crash with a boomiing explosion. Please watch the video to see what happened next. :) Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless.

WINTER 2024 SERIES This marathon episode is full of adventure. Sugar Man continues work on the shacks & and chalets. We finish most of the work at the shack in Skyscape Plateau and then Sugar Man discovers what is definitely the MOST picturesque setting of all the obsidian shack locations. Yes, I am of course referring to the Ridgeline Heights shack, which is now going to be forevermore called the Ridgeline Heights Overlook Chalet. Folks, this is such a great spot I had to go back and add on to it. In fact, we went back more than one time to expand the chalet and the surrounding structure(s). Yes, it has become the most elaborate and the most beautiful too. You'll see. During the builiding of obsidian shack #5, a fortune in materials was expended, but when you get a look you will agree it was well worth the cost and effort. The view is spectacular. The surrounding scenery offers a glimpse at locations surely to be miles away from where you stand. Stop by and visit us in the high foothills of Hudson Mountain. See the new Ridgeline Heights Overlook Chalet. You can schedule an exclusive showing at your convenience. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless you and yours.

WINTER 2024 SERIES Irony is afoot as Sugar Man learns in this episode. Minutes after questioning why there haven't been any airplanes lately; what do our ears detect??? An airplane [is Cold Games somehow listening-in?]. So yeah, an airplane comes along, and it wastes no time crashing in a spectacular explosion that Sugar Man was able to witnesses from the front hill, outside the Motor Lodge. Can Sugar Man recover the airplane cargo loot this time? What distractions, if any, can keep us from getting the goods? Join us and see for yourself. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

WINTER 2024 SERIES This compilation of Sugar Man on the ATV was recorded during the Autumn series of 2023. [unintentional rhyme, but it worked] Anyway, Sugar Man was getting around all over the map on the ATV and well, stuff just seems to happen. Here's to hoping you get some laughs from the ATV escapades of Sugar Man. He's our guy.

WINTER 2024 SERIES This video is a celebration of the grinding we all have to do here in the Subsistence world. Sometimes grinding seems like the only thing that is happening, but the wild 'n crazy moments always seem to break up the grind - somehow. Don't you agree? Unexpected things...they happen. What will happen next? Join us in Sugar Man's piece of Subsistence world and see what he gets into in the upcoming videos. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

WINTER 2024 SERIES Sugar Man was driving along on a frozen lake. We were enjoying some music as were cruising on a lazy Sunday afternoon. All of a sudden - BOOM! A plane crashed into the side of Mt. Hudson. Coincidentally, we were on our way to Obsidian Shack #3, in the Skyscape Plateau region, so we were already heading toward the direction of the crash site. Sugar Man jumped off the ATV and looked at the map to pinpoint the spot of the explosion. Next thing we knew, we were on our way to the Fire On The Mountain. The rest is a matter of collecting loot from the on-board cargo. Also, a lot of scrap metal was recovered. Awwwww Yeah. Let's do this. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless!

WINTER 2024 SERIES There are several videos coming. All have been recorded and are waiting in the dreaded upload queue. You might have noticed a bit of a musical theme in the latest videos. Sugar Man has been singing and adding in bits music to this 'thing' of ours. Hey, hey, what can I say? Happiness is contagious. It has been determined that Music makes almost everything better. hehehe Let's all have a great 2024. The future could bright so bright - we would need to wear shades. We can make it happen. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless!

WINTER 2024 SERIES During a stopover at the new Obsidian shack #1, Sugar Man encountered and shot an aggressive Cougar which had targeted Sugar Man for lunch. The tables were turned, and at the end of this brief encounter it was Sugar Man who ended up having lunch. Take THAT - Mr. Cougar! Thank you, for coming by to watch the latest Sugar Man escapades. NOTE: A new full-length sequel to video 090 Sugar Man "Building The Obsidian Shacks" is being edited now. It will be uploaded soon (some time today is the target). Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

WINTER 2024 SERIES: Featuring by request - Singing Sugar Man In many ways the new update was great, but the costs of things were ALREADY high enough. Perhaps the time has come for a bit of protest in the form of song/music (or something which could maybe pass for song). This short clip was taken from the 087.5 video (recently published). Anyway, have some laughs and have fun, everybody. Fun is why we are here... Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless!
