Skin was very stiff after healing, was very concerned I had disfigured myself and lost effective function of my index finger, but it eventually loosened up so I just have a cool scar from a learning experience. To date that's my only innawoods adventure despite being into survivalism and /k/ stuff, just never plan on going out or know if I have the right gear.
