Tents and a house location

[Relent]

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

You know you can make snow shelters now...?

[Vinceofpyrenees]

Yes, make a snow shelter, light a fire and enjoy the view

[EternityTide]

I made a thread about tents not too long ago: Camp making, tents and similar

[Vinceofpyrenees]

Yes and it's good.

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?

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.

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

[MarrowStone]

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!

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!

@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.

Can you get back up?

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.

Oh,

Eh they dont have the same atmosphere, and yes I know

[chanster115]

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.

[chanster115]

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?

Some mysteries cannot be solved

I do like your idea of deer hide though. Makes for some interesting choices.

My money is on quantum tunnelling.

As for the house atop the ravine - sure, that'd be cool, but... who would willingly live there? 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.
