Relent Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I think that it would be awesome to have tents as a movable shelter because there are really light weight tents out there. It would also be nice if there was a cabin overlooking the ravine by the railroad tracks bridge connecting coastal highway and pleasant valley because it is a very scenic location below are some pictures that I took on a foggy day.leasant valley because it is a very scenic location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wastelander Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Depends on the type of tent really - I own a very lightweight one-man-tent that is quick to set up and can be stuffed into a bag the size of my arm, which can be easily fastened to the bottom of my backpack. However, it's cheap, lightweight material and quite frankly doesn't offer much protection from the elements. Correct me if I'm wrong (I don't exactly have a lot of camping experience), but wouldn't people who regularly spend their holidays in TLD conditions prefer heavy-duty tents?

TheRealNFK Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Given the kind of blizzards that blow through the sandbox, I think you'd need a 4-season mountaineering tent for a survivable camping experience. Of course, if a bear is attracted to the delicious food cooking over your campfire, all bets are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cekivi Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Welcome to the forums @Relent and @L4NGD0N! And yes, given the choice between a summer tent and a snow trench I think I'd pick the snow trench. Way less chance of freezing to death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarrowStone Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Yeah, snow shelter is best bet, I dont wanna be blown away in a blizzard. "Weeeeee!" However, this would be a great idea to make a comeback when spring mode comes out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now picturing a TLD survivor flying at the edge of my Survivor's field of view in a tent during a blizzard screaming at the top of his lungs. Thank you, I needed that laugh, that made my day!

Rifleman Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 @Relent I know this is off topic but did you know you can get all the way down from the train tracks without dying. I found this secret out 4 days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but I recommend very warm clothing since it's a long way back up with no houses. But there is good quality items down there. Flare guns, research book and about 1-2 days of food. Bring a bearskin bedroll or 10 cups of coffee and +15C clothing. Also you will need ropes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chanster115 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I wish they had dugout version, little to no roof but does not take sticks and cloth. Ether that or a reusable cloth and/or deer hide blanket that loses durability when used but can be pick back up when it's all disassembled. Cloth being lighter and cheaper but decays faster. Deer hide is more heavy and costs more to make but lasts longer, and more reparable over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanster115 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Speaking of which how can you make a blanket like the one used in the shelter out of 5 1ft squares of cloth? And where do 3 of them go once you take it all down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that is sort of dangerous especially when you have kids with you. A ranger station maybe? Another outcast? In my opinion, every place needs at least a bit of backstory.
