HA!

Well the point of this is not to come up with a set of rules but to reflect on things that worked and failed and learn from our history instead of repeating it. As for player vs. character knowledge -- I suspect our characters would know a fair bit more about survival in the wilderness or among hostiles that we do -- either from direct knowledge, upbringing or stories. It was asinine of us not to build a makeshift pavilion around our campsite to defend from -- we had plenty of men to clear trees and brush and at least build a fence. Had we been physically present there it should have been obvious . . . even to a child. We overlooked it because we lost focus -- reflecting on these errors will help us be better adventurers.
