"It is a most strenuous effort to haul around the wealth of provisions offered by this isle. Fortuitously, I did stumble upon a chest containing a sizeable satchel. Bearing this bag hath finally granted me the possibility to venture further into the island."

"Today, I stumbled upon some clams washed ashore and pried one open with my trusty knife. The taste was horrendous! I struggled to keep the oozy mollusc down. I cracked open another and cooked it over the fire. Surprisingly, the chewy meat had a faint resemblance to mushrooms."
"Hunting for animals here can be challenging, but the satisfaction of a successful hunt is unparalleled. Today, I tried something new - I tasted bat meat for the first time. The flavor was surprisingly rich and gamey, satisfying a longing I didn't know I had."
"As the dire need for shelter arose, I noticed caves on this isle. I shall haul rocks to fortify the entrance and construct a barrier against the elements and hidden perils. As night descends, its sturdy presence offers a semblance of safety amidst the desolate wilds."
"Isolated on this island, I've become adept in navigating its jungle. I've uncovered shortcuts and learned to climb with finesse. The dense foliage and elevated terrains now yield to my practised moves. I have found power in heights."
"So I've been pondering...the hounds prove to be terrible at scaling rocks and even more so with ropes or vines. What if I spent the whole night on a rope grasping a flame in the other hand? A torch ought to endure through the night. I pray my arms do likewise."
"Until recently I used a coconut to haul around bullets and powder. Finding a holster for my gun and a box for bullets speeds up the loading dramatically. For the first time in a while I feel powerful."
"The crabs are hard to seize, but I have found various ways for catching them - sharp sticks, guns, rocks. Alas, the crabs are worthless without cooking and I must also take care not to burn them. Nothing comes easy on this island."
"By now I know that the beasts hold fear for fire. I wondered whether a grand circle of flames around me would keep the beasts at bay. But there is always a chance that something will attack from the sky... what ought I do then?"
"I've gotten good at opening coconuts. At first, I used a stone, but it took a while. It's quicker to seize the coconut with both hands and smack it against rocks. But the fastest way is to throw the nuts swiftly at the rocks, which also spares my hands a couple of bruises. I could also shoot the coconut with a pistol, but dare not squander a bullet on that."
