Couple items

[Beer me]

1. Compass. I foresee this being added one day anyway, but it would really help right now whenever I get turned around in a forest.

2. Binoculars. for hunting mostly. It would save some time and fatigue, so I don't have to scout across the lake lookin for deer.

3. Who spends so much energy in their sleep that they wake up almost starving/dehydrated? I think that needs to be reworked.

1. Compass won't work... Active geomagnetic event.

2. I love this.

3. Sleep in 8 hour bursts. Then drink again. The burn of 75-100 calories burned per an hour of sleep is very accurate.

1. Oh yea. right... At least we still have the heavens to guide us.

2. Glad you agree with me.

3. hm. idk man. but what do I know about surviving in the wilderness.

2. Good point, binoculairs would be awesome;

3. Drop all your items until you're under 10kg/20LBS before bedtime. You'll burn only 75 cal. when sleeping.

"While quietly sleeping someone who weighs 150 will burn at least 95 calories per hour, and if you weight 115 you will burn 42 calories in that same hour. "

And don't forget the body is still in shiver overload to avoid hypothermia, so the body is using up a lot of energy just trying to keep body functions running.

Good points guys. I'm just frustrated that I'll sometimes get heavily fatigued, sleep for 9 hours, then wake up with a mess of stats to work out. I've spent whole in game days just managing that stuff lol

Thats survival man!

For maximum condition gain, go to sleepfor 8 hours in a bed, with min 1000 calories, topped off with water.
