how long could one last in the Dam if they went there from the very start

Been there died doing that  

It was my 2nd Survival run spawned at trailers outside Dam and I got fried when twilight time began and I witnessed my first Aurora....within the Dam burning atop exposed wiring 

I only enter the Dam during the daytime now

Stalker - Less than 1 day

I'm assuming that if you survive long enough to get "cabin fever" you can at least go outside the front door of the dam and make a fire to sleep next to as long as you don't collect anything outside the dam, right?

I've have gone out 1 time into the front yard area of the dam to check out the "Northern Lights" ..... got some great pics! 

Oh, well then go check my thread, "Any aroura pics?", an addition would be nice

Getting fried by wires is a better death than getting mauled by Fluffy! (RIP)

By the time they fix the Flare Cache in Episode 2, I will have forgotten all about The Long Dark, lol...

Alwesome challenge @Stormwolf1O1!

My first try was as Interloper first - tried until I got a drop at the Muskeg, stopped at the Camp Office to warm up, got a bedroll and then headed to the dam. Made it only 2 days, died during the third.

In my Stalker run at the Dam Hard Challenge I made it for 12 full days (if the hours count 304/24=12,67 days).
Here's the screenshot:

A few remarks:
I did not manage to find a pry bar, so I had only the loot from the unlocked lockers.
Also the emergency stim helped me in the end to survive a few more hours.
Here's the rest of the stuff I could find:

Scratch that last one. I did a second Stalker try that I lasted for 25 full days.
This time there were 2 pry bars in the dam so I could pry open even the locked lockers and I ended up with waaaay more food than last time.
The biggest treat that lasted me 3 days was a jar of peanut butter and I also got 5 bags of tea. Again I used the one emergency stim I had at the end to prolong my suffering. Here it is:

 

Edit:
By the way I also got the pacifist achievement with this challenge.
