I'm going next summer!

I'm cleaning my basement, so I'm surrounded by tools, warm winter clothes and blankets, and bicycles.

But probably the smartphone in my hand.

In the wild? Bald Eagle.

What part of the world and what time of year?

In general, you want to prioritize rescue over acquiring food and water. A set of three markers in a triangle that can be seen from above is a universal sign that someone needs help. Flashing mirror at any passing aircraft is also good.

For food, don't worry about it until after you secure water and shelter. It takes well over a week to starve. Water, boiling is best; you can do this even without a pot by heating rocks in a fire and dropping them into a basin you've filled with fresh water. Failing that, fast-moving streams are somewhat less likely to have as many parasites and dangerous microbes. But boiling is best!

For shelter, building a lean-to with fallen wood against a big rock will do for your first night; break off leafy branches and layer them over top to shed water. Longer-term, big sheaves of long grass bundled and stacked will insulate and shed water better.

A great one for your Halloween playlists is "The Crazy" by The Children MacNuggits.

But if you want even more obscure, a college friend of mine started a homebrew record label and got every band on campus to submit their best track for a compilation... and then he did it five more times

Twenty years later, I still listen to some of these songs daily, but especially: (warning, these are download links, not streaming)

Cold Heaven - "Eurydice"

The Heavy Pets - "(A Dragon's Just) A Dinosaur in Drag"

Zinc Finger and the Major Groove - "Too Much of a Girl"

The Passerines - "Young"

No, it'd only end up in the dumpster.

If you've received more than three threads about the same topic in two days, make a megathread.

for example, 'Internet' is a proper noun and should always be capitalized

There was a viral short featuring someone using it wrong, a bunch of younger people cribbed from the video and started using it wrong.
