”Lad's Life is a skill magazine in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics[]
Lad's Life was a pre-war camping and hunting magazine aimed towards the young adult male demographic. Despite it being meant for pre-war enthusiasts, the magazine offers legitimate survival tips that can be applied to life in the Mojave Wasteland. The issue found around the Mojave covers topics such as, how to make a fire, track a mountain lion, and build a birch wood canteen.
Reading this magazine raises your Survival skill by 10 points (20 points with the Comprehension perk) for 60 seconds (180 seconds with Retention).
