Subsisting In Subsistence

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!

WINTER 2024 SERIES Sugar Man has a number of crazy adventures and misadventures in this episode. The first two Obsidian zone shacks were built in 1) Bridgepeak Pass and 2) Crestlyn Outlook. Next, the half shack that overlooks the valley stream between Hudson Mountain and Eagle Feathers Mountain was converted into a Chalet. It will now be known as the Obsidian Chalet (aka Obsidian Shack #3). The fourth Obsidian shack was built (partially so far) above the waterfalls which cascade over the rocky cliff into the small pond that is actually not far from Wolf Spawn Station, below. We need additional building materials to finish shack #s three and four. A location for Obsidian shack five will be picked in the next video, and we will build it in Ridgeline Heights. Because we can never tell what kind of day we are going to have, we will play it by ear, but the plan will be to finish #s 3 and 4, and then build/finish Obsidian shack #5. Gathering the new ore types is going to be a lot of fun and it will definitely get us into all kinds of crazy situations that happen 'only in Subsistence land'. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless! Note: After fully uploading video 090 I noticed that my final edits were not completed. This re-issue has approx. 8 minutes of video trimmed. It was all just useless chatter and mundane housekeep footage. There is no new footage in this edit.

WINTER 2024 SERIES: A Video Short *** NOTICE *** This video is for your entertainment while we wait for our next video upload to complete.

WINTER 2024 SERIES: HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024 Welcome to 2024, officially. Although parts of this video were recorded in calendar year 2023, most of the content is 2024 material, as of the day of recording, 1 January 2024. As we start out this episode, an explosion from another airplane crash has just happened (prior to recording). We were initially on our way down south, and plans were to loot all around as we checked out the new fiber and medicinal herb as we travel to the base of newly named, Hudson Mountain, where we will eventually score more Obsidian. We will also be building at least one shack in each of the Obsidian zones around Mt. Hudson. However... the crashed airplane explosion presented an immediate need to change our plans. We looted ore for a bit, gathering items from all about the Motor Lodge and got lucky as we scored a bunch of silicone from Happy Rock (aka Ore Rock). As usual, the loot from the airplane, along with the scrap metal was more than enough of a haul to put a smile on any Subsistence players face. Folks, every time you score the airplane loot you are going to be phatter. Enjoy the hauls! Come for the fun. Stay for the love. HAPPY NEW YEAR, to everyone !!! God Bless you and yours

WINTER 2024 SERIES Hello everyone! Today is New Year's Eve day. Here is the 2nd half of video #087, which was abruptly cut-off without a proper ending or closing remarks (Good Day, etc.). It has been a wonderful holiday season to close out the year 2023. In this half we are on the lookout for (listening too) airplanes, which are a part of the Alpha 62 update. So far, Sugar Man and I have enjoyed the new update immensely, but I still must protest the fact the we need 65 fibers to make a single fuel-brick...RIP OFF!!!!!!! On the other hand, the loot from plane crashes will help to ease the pain and annyance of the fiber inequity. Please enjoy your families and friends as much as you can as we close the 2023 holiday season and welcome the New Year, 2024. Remember, family is everything. After you enjoy your family and friends, you are invited to stop by and check out the latest adventures of Sugar Man. I sincerely thank you for following and watching my videos. This is just one of my hobbies, but I've really enjoyed playing Subsistence and even more so, I enjoy making Subsistence videos with Sugar Man. Have a wonderful 2024, and God Bless you and yours. Come for the fun. Stay for the love

WINTER 2024 SERIES Hello, everyone. I hope you are having a wonderful time with your families and/or friends. Some friends are like family, and that is always another blessing to count. In this episode Sugar Man catches a glimse of an airplane flyover low, over the hill just outside our front door. Within a matter of seconds, the plane ends up in a fiery ball of exploding destruction. There were no survivors. On the bright side, we score a large amount of loot. Hey, you gotta look a the bright side. The holiday season has been merry and bright, and the Subsistence world seems to be happily improved following the Alpha 62 update. Let's keep exploring and gathering...oh, and hunting too. The New Year is just around the corner... See you there! Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

WINTER 2024 SERIES Sugar Man goes out and about the area surrounding the Motor Lodge looking for the new ore and other loot changes here in Subsistence world. The map update is pretty useful, and it is nice to have bigger stacks on some items. We're going out again, and this time we will go much farther from home in search of obsidian and other new stuff. There is always something unexpected that happens, so join me for our first decent in-depth look at the actual updated game (next video). Most of this video was recorded after I had been awake for nearly twenty-four hours. I get a little silly at times, but hey, its good to laugh. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES: Hello! Well, the long awaited and highly anticipated new update has dropped for us non-experimental folks. It happened sometime overnight or very early morning. Regardless, this might be the last video I will be uploading with Alpha 61 content. It will definitely be the last for this AUTUMN 2023 series. Yes, that's right, our final video (coming up next) for the current series, will be recorded in the brand-spanking-new Alpha 62. Awwww yeah. As of this moment (12-20-2023 @ 2:18 pm), I have only seen a few minutes of time in Alpha 62, so in terms of exposure, I've seen about as much as anyone else who is stepping into Alpha 62 for the first time. When I signed in to the game today and noticed the update was here, I immediately left the rushing stream at Pearl Cove and ran home to see what was up with my pearl collection. [It was still there] So the amount of time it takes to run from the back of Pearl Cove to Sugar Man's Motor Lodge is the amount of time we have had in Alpha 62 world. That is all. In our next episode we will do what we have been planning to do for a while now. We'll head down south and all around different parts of the map to simply poke around for loot and adventure. The difference now is Alpha 62 is here, and we will be able to check out the new ore, and the new fiber, medicinal herb, changes to the map, the electrical workbench, and more. It will be fun. See you there! Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless you and yours.

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES - - - Sugar Man's Dream for the holidays... Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year, everybody. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES Sugar Man needs to boost his pearl supply, before the new update changes the parts list for making circuit boards. Change is coming, folks. Do you have enough circuit boards? Where will we go to look for more pearl? We will go to Pearl Cove, of course. There are cools things to share. Like, learning some new tricks with campfires. While poking around we pick up all sorts of bits and bobs. The funny thing that always takes up so much time is collecting all the bountiful loot out there. What a non-problem to have, eh? Look for video 085 in a matter of hours after you first see this episode. Have a great week-before Christmas, everyone. God Bless you and yours. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES Have mercy! I've been waitin' on these planks all day... The extra large order of planks that I placed has taken MUCH LONGER to fill than I expected. We sure do have a long of planks in the queue. Join Sugar Man for some more of what goes on in a day-in-the-life. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES Sugar Man spends more logs at one time than ever at any previous time. We also talk about the upcoming update for Subsistence, Alpha 62. There is a little bit known at this time. Stop in and hear for yourself what is known so far. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless!

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES After grinding out 3,000 logs, Sugar Man thinks it is time to make some planks. It is, ya know. Watch Sugar Man burn through 600 logs to make 200 planks. Next time I think we should do 1200 logs. Hey... you gotta be scalable. Also, we fondly remember the lethal wolf attack from our last video. That was yesterday. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES This video started out as a TEST video for determining whether or not my recording software was picking up game sounds. Recent updates for both the video card and the recording app were somehow confounding the recording of videos WITH game sounds. Sugar Man was unable to resist the loot everywhere. BTW, there are also wolves everywhere. Yep, lots of wolves today. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. God Bless

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES This short episode displays the latest addition to the Motor Lodge. It's just plain lovely. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. God Bless! Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES Here is the second part of the 'Making The Motor Lodge' retrospective. How do you like it? I am definitely still learning this video software... At least I'm enjoying the ride. :) If you do not hear from Sugar Man and I before the big holiday (tomorrow). Then have a very HAPPY Thanksgiving, with your most beloved people, and God Bless. Come for the fun. Stay for the love. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - MUSIC CREDIT(S): Faintly, from nearby speakers music can be heard in the background. I am pretty sure the following was the artist I was listening to at that time. Mellow Blues - Elegant Blues & Rock Instrumental Backdrops

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES In this installment Sugar Man takes a deadly hike, Over The Mountain down in the southern mountain range. It is very cold outside, but it is EXTREMELY cold up on the mountain top. You would think you are OK, only to find yourself freezing to death before you realize it. Next thing you know... "YOU'RE DEAD" appears in bold red print, across your screen. If you love the snow and winter weather this video is for you. SIGN POST: KEEP YOUR EYES ON YOUR TEMPERATURE LEVEL! Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES Hello, everyone! Sugar Man just wanted to pop by, say hello, and tell you about plans for the next adventure... This video is short (maybe a record for Sugar Man), so stop by and get the latest. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES When the Motor Lodge was built a great deal of the job was recorded for the purpose of taking a look back. It took a number of RL weeks to complete the job, and it has taken me much longer to get through this compilation of different video clips (parts of the process) for your viewing pleasure. There were many hours of video to go through. Some video clips had no sound, others were accidentlally deleted. When I finished sorting and editing, I still had over 2.5 hours. Building this Motor Lodge and viewing/editing the video has been the most memorable Subsistence experience for both Sugar Man and yours truly. : ) Thank you, to my followers, and the rest of those who take the time to watch the Sugar Man adventures. This video has been a long time coming. What else can I say? Here is the final cut. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES This is a Pop-By video with a great, but brief message. Hint: The message is very powerful. Check it out. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES Sugar Man continues work on the garage project. We make a lot of progress, and add some crazy unexpected additions. We have already enjoyed several snow storms in this autumn season. Winter in Subsistence is Sugar Man's favorite time of the year. It is coming soon. It's the most wonderful time... Due to the season (for effect), some work was done in the dark. Verrry Errrie... I hope some viewers enjoy the mini-tribute to the movie, Blair Witch Project, in the non-traditional close to this video. LoL Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES Sugar Man has been working on the garage expansion. Work...well, it is ongoing. There were builds, rebuilds, changes, expansions, and a lot of contemplation. The current state of construction is fully functional. So far, we have a roof, a mezzanine, a bridge to the glass / grow section of building A. There's more, but you should watch the video and see for yourself. The autumn season has already brough several very nice snow storms. Soon the lake will freeze over. And it is December already... WHAAAAAT??? No worries. We always have at least one mining drill pulling water out of the earth. Wells are a wonderful ting. Yo! Come for the fun. Stay for the love

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES Sugar Man spends a couple of days hunting loot at the bottom of the North lake. The haul is tremendous on each day. We even get some night looting done while we are down there. Luckily, the white colors glimmer and shine off of the sandstone and pearl shells. Hmmm, it would be nice to have a diving headlamp [hint - Cold Games]. It was a lot of fun making this video. I hope you get a few laughs or grins. Thank you, everyone who watches. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.
