## Lore

The tape is a guide to surviving the outdoors created by Jack Wylder. It begins relatively normally, with some essentials to bring with you, and some heads up when one comes across certain hazardous objects, such as thorns and ditches.

It then switches to potentially dangerous animals, and some advice of what to do when one encounters these creatures. The demonstration shows a person replicating the advice to a bear. However, shortly after they leave, the bear sprouts some roots in their final stage.

The tape cuts to some plants to avoid, before coming across Nature's Mockery, a strange alien plant that can absorb humans, and make them into Fake People. It the cuts back away to sounds to avoid, with Coyote howls and Cougar screams, but then desperate human screams for help.

It then moves to a segment dubbed "Building a Campfire", where Jack gives instructions to making a bonfire, but is then interrupted by a Fake Person staggering around in a field, before going to a home. The tape then ends.

## Trivia

* This tape is made by Jack Dean, marking his first proper confirmed appearance.
* "Foreign" is misspelled.
