That typeface at that resolution is awfully blurry. The overblown antialiasing ruins the contrast to hell. It's like trying to read through a sheet of vellum paper. Recommend you look around and find some examples with sharper, clearer lettering and see what they do to make it work.

The raws are at 844x1200, but I'll see if I can get an upscaler working. Barring that, I'll just double the size which would allow for bigger font sizes and better legibility.

raise hand I HAVE A QUESTION!!
on page 6 the tree bark is that true Can it be used in real life? or is bullshit cooked up by Author ass?

Literally five seconds of googling.

Appreciated, thanks. Looking forward to the results.

As someone who had such a thing happen to them once when they were 8 and then again when they were 16, it is defiantly not good luck and it's rather disgusting.

Thanks again SphericalPanda for another amazing translation it is very much appreciated.

Hey, they're saying it, not me.

Personally, I think being shat on by a bird is coincidence and has nothing to do with luck, but some people need to see a silver lining.

 

[sassinos]

Anybody know if this guy ends up getting his come-uppance in the main story or is it still ongoing?

That's very true.
Also to clarify just for the say of entreatment and discourse The second time it happened to me it was a seagull; it was super annoying especially as there were like 8 of them on the roofs all doing that annoying laughing cry the do. The ending of this chapter really brought back memories of that. LOL

The picture where the bark container is put straight on the flames is bullshit, that's not how you do it. Tree bark is flammable, and although the water will transfer a lot of heat, the outside will soon catch fire unless the tree is a fireproof isekai tree. And don't strip a living tree as huge as the MC does, in most cases the bark will be thick and cracked up as you can see in the bottom picture. He could probably use it on the roof of a shelter, but I doubt that he could make a cooking vessel. Maybe if he manages to split it and only use the innermost bark layer, but that will be difficult with just Homo Habilis tools.

I don't know what kind of tree he stripped, but birch bark is the best to make containers from (I have several, birch is the most common tree here) and it definitely wasn't that. If you have to boil water in one, make a fire and put some clean rocks in the fire. When they're good and hot, put one into the water until it stops sizzling, take it out and put another in etc. until the water boils.

I took a quick look on the first of baconcat's videos, and they used a birch bark vessel which they put in the embers, not directly on the flame. Still dubious, birch bark is one of the best tinders you can find, but they only quickly warmed a tiny amount of water, enough for one cup of tea. So it went well, but that vessel were single use only.

First of all thanks mate

2nd i don't know how to google it like what keyword I need to use to get the search results for the video^

ones again thanks for the link of the video

 

[nekoyuuki]

Compare “encyclopædia”, a romanised yet fully Greek word

Encyclopædia is a neologism that doesn't occur in Greek at all, but ok. Nobody transliterates alpha-iota as æ directly from Greek, only when they brought it through Latin.

 

[jhs_reika]

Okay. The fight's on, b*tch.

Literally just "bark container cooking", and having a few seconds of look-see to double-check.
Those I linked were pretty much the first results, I didn't even need to switch to the Videos category.

Still dubious

Don't take my word for it, feel free to procrastinate a few hours on videos showing people doing what they do. shrug
Alternatives people mention they've used: Spruce, poplar

What I meant was that the first video shows someone warming up a small amount of water enough to make tea. That's not what this guy needs. He needs enough water to survive for a day or two, and he needs to bring it to a rolling boil to kill the nasty isekai parasites and germs that might be in the (not actually fast-flowing) water. That's why he uses a much larger vessel. I now took a look at the second of your videos, it shows a much better technique, more in line with what he should be doing. It was from Sweden, not that far from here, probably from an almost monocultural spruce forest, hence the use of spruce bark. The vessel also looks like it can be reused, and eventually rebuilt with new bark.

I live at 63 degrees north, too cold for parasites here. When I go for a fishing trip in a mountain valley or around my cabin high up in the mountains, I don't have to boil water for safety. There are lots of fast-flowing creeks and streams with whitewater, they are self-cleaning and safe. This guy's water source looked much more dubious though, and in another world as well. He definitely should boil everything he takes in.

It says that you need power for the bowed fire starter and he fails despite being super buff?

Unlike the main series there are no pages where the author explains his viewpoint.

Yeah id fry those harpies

 

[ImmortalFEELIX]

Give me some too if you really can catch the harpy sucker

Every time I see the word Umami, I want to explode.

because you're an umami riaju?

The picture where the bark container is put straight on the flames is bullshit, that's not how you do it.

ACTUALLY... You can. thou don't use outer bark witch is most flammable, hard, and porous, but inner bark witch is softer and, since a little moist, not flammable. there's also a third thin layer on the tree called camblum you can actually eat depending on the tree...

I actually mentioned that in my first post, and why this probably isn't an option for him, depending on what kind of tree he uses: only Homo Habilis level tools.

The main reason why a container like that doesn't catch fire isn't the slight moisture in the bark, but the water you put inside the container. It transfers the heat away from the container itself. This works better the thinner the container is, something my teacher demonstrated in primary school by heating water in a paper cup he folded (We had "Nature days" in primary school where we went outside and did stuff like learning to use compass and maps, make fires and such things). The paper was dry and would immediately have caught fire without the cooling effect/massive heat transfer by the water. It was impressive, of limited practical value of course but a useful way to understand the principle of heat transfer.

The video i criticised used birch bark. Yes, it contains moisture. It's not water though, but a very flammable oil (birch oil). This is the reason why birch bark is extremely flammable and one of the best tinders you can use. In my woodstorage I have a huge stack of birch bark sheets collected by the former owner of my house, probably salvaged from old cabins that had their turf roofs changed to something else (the birch bark sheets were the waterproofing layer beneath the turf). Some of it can be reused as tinder. Much more dubious as a cooking container though , at least if you have to purify a large amount of water by boiling it.

Well, they say being shat on by a bird is good luck....

How is getting "bombed" good luck? If anything, not getting hit would be fortunate instead...

In any case, I hope these translations continue.

I don't think it's good luck either, but apparently, some people think that, once you've been shit on a by a bird, things can only go up.

And to those people, I say, "you're suffering from zero-sum thinking". Just because one bad thing has happened to you doesn't mean a bunch of unrelated bad things can't to you.

ok I am now invested in this story and need to see a Harpie get corrected
