oo thanks for that tip on the storm, that's an excellent plot twist. it definitely could've doubled down some crazy shit on his camp. i'm still very much playing around with that former life stuff, now i'm thinking he might've helped run his parents farm and worked construction (an excavation crew) before, had big ambitions when he was a teen but got into some trouble growing marijuana in the 80s when people wanted to make examples of a little itty bit of herb growing.
hey, you play the cards you're given right? sometimes a world without a monetary system works out pretty damn well.
