LuLa trollhunt workshop in Sweden
« on: April 01, 2014, 04:48:32 am »

I think the danger posed by trolls in the mentioned areas is a bit overstated in the announcement.

Correct preparations require simply not washing yourself for some weeks (4 minimum),
not changing clothing, especially underwear and getting drunk every day for a period
of about 4 weeks as well to adapt the overall look and mouth odor.
UV lamps are a must in case you need to petrify the occasional troll
coming near the group, but swedish guides usually have some at hand.
Harsh colors like red or pink with green dots on your clothing should be avoided,
since it may provoke trolls attacks, even if you have managed to acquire the correct smell.
If an attack happens - "Duck and Cover" will most likely save you, since trolls usually do not attack
closely, but simply throw large rocks at their adversaries.

If you follow these simple guidelines (and the swedish locals have some more tricks I might not know)
the workshop should be as comfortable as a visit in Disneyland.

As you can see in the image below the locals manage to get really close to them,
protected by the mounted UV lamps on their specially equipped cars.
Using mobile lamps (preferably the type equipped with with fresnel lenses) strong enough to petrify a trolls leg usually does the trick when hiking.

Cheers
~Chris

I would love to bag me one of them (trolls).
The virtual ones tend to be very elusive!

In the photo above the situation is not as dangerous as is led to believe, sun is shining quite strongly which petrifies the troll or at least slows it down considerably. I hope the car turned around before the clouds rolled in, or at least that the memory cards were found...

Sounds interesting.
Do we have to make an upfront payment or will it be available on subscription basis?

Since there is always the danger of being eaten (or worse) by a Troll, payment is upfront. No cheques.

If you're looking for trolls, you don't have to go to Sweden. Just look on any ETTR thread.

This may be the first workshop I am genuinely interested in joining.

My panoramic head has been described in the past by some resolution challenged MF gear owners as "trolling" and it should be a perfect match for the sweet Swedish environment.

I surely hope that the formerly virgin (female) participants will be eager to continue practicing their new skills during the WS.

Cheers,
Bernard

That vehicle is either a Land Rover Defender 90 or 110. I can't tell from the back.  The occupants have nothing to fear from the troll.  They can just lock the diff's and drive over him.  Now there might be something to fear from Lucas. ;D

Hmmm...that is if the Landy doesn't break down first!... There are only two man-made objects clearly visible from space: The Great Wall of China and the queue of Land Rovers waiting to get into the repair shop!

Humph!  Obviously a Toyota man. (Said in a Thurston Howell, III voice.)

I was almost going to comment on the amazing stalling ability of Td5 engine (had a Defender 110 Td5 for 5 years…), but maybe not.

Because now I drive a Land Cruiser...

Didn't get the whole virgin thing, my troll knowledge seems to be lacking there and wikipedia didn't help.

No reasons to join. Trolls are more easily found in forums.

Sounds like a great ws, I will bring my new Capture1 7.2.1 with the new Forensic+ feature with me for extra detail in the Troll's eyes.
