That’s great. Trying to link all the names to the items
Jasmin => jasmin rice
Dick => deck (Cassette)
Stevie => socker (sugar stevia)
Malin => mellanmjölk (medium-fat milk)
Brad => gråddsås (cream sauce)
Pelle => football (Péle?)
Havre => havregryn (oatmeal)

@tomgzero Normal Lives is a Himfjäll side mission where you investigate a site where a wedding took place, on the day of the cataclysm. That whole mission is a bit… senseless. 
@Gysbert Yeah, not all of them are easy to interpret. Brad isn’t a name commonly used in Scandinava, so I wondered if it could be the name of a bread (bröd)?

There are 7 smiley items and 7 imaginary children. So I assume that each item is linked to a name. There’s no bread there with a smiley. Brad might sound like Grådd, and that then could be the link. This Gråddsås has a sad or mad smiley, but I couldn’t use that to link Brad.

It’s a bit like Robinson

Next to this tree-stump Easter-Island-like figure face on the small tree covered hill west of Boo that @LonelyRanger1 showed (there is also a funny little hut) there seems to be a grave with a hexagonal metal plate on a white plank. The inscription says Solomon or something and some numbers (it is hard to read on Xbox graphics). Any idea what’s the story?
Just found it on one of my occasional strolls …
I found that sign too, where lots of other graves around Boo church had blank sign plates. I wondered about that silver Hexagon sign too.
9 R. Salonen 17 93
Salonen => The salon
R. Salonen could be a persons name and he could have lived here:

Salonen is a common Finnish surname.

Yes Indeed, I found many name references toward Finnish names. I can’t imagine this is just a name like on letterboxes we find in the game. I have looked at the numbers 9 17 and 93. First I thought it could be a coordinate like for instance 9, 1793. And I looked there, but found nothing. It could also be a tribute date like september 17th 1993. But in a game that takes place in 1989, such a date seems off.
hmmm. Is that on the inside of the defensive wall, or the outside? Because if it is on the inside, my bet would be a bug/mistake put that graffiti texture on the wrong side of the wooden barricade. Thus flipping it.

On the inside.
The other side of that board has Stick on the exact same spot, as if the paint went through and through, but that would never happen with a 18 mm plywood board.
Yes, I also think this is most likely a mistake. It wouldn’t make sense to write a mirrored text. Still I like the picture.

This reminds me of Leonardo da Vinci: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_writing#Notable_examples

Leonardo had probably a good reason. I agree that sometimes things that seemingly make no sense, can make sense if you know the story or reasoning behind it. It’s pretty normal in real life to encounter things that makes no sense to an outsider. People can do crazy things, so yeah, why not in a game as well. To me it was a welcome find that at least got me thinking.
I especially liked the part about 18mm plywood.

People are desperate for something funny in the middle of the apocalypse, so why not use time between boring and dying to try some mirror writing

A friend of mine said there was thick fog and the sounds of howling wolves in this area
I’m used to the fog but I’ve never noticed anything to do with howling

At that loc, the unique sound is more like eerie music than outright howling. But people hear sounds differently and to some, it may resemble howling.
Please forgive me if this has been discussed before. FOA 2 is a mystery as @Zesiir once stated. I just discovered a working button on one of the concrete silo surfaces. It might have been there for quite a while, but I never discovered it before now. If you press it, it turns from red to green with a “clanging” noise … but nothing seems to happen. I even tried to stand on the metal lid jumping up and down as if it would give in. It didn’t. Any clues? Is it part of “Fenix Rising” (which I haven’t had the time to play yet)?
