Bushcraft

[Benjola]

Best survival game on the market imo, but to make it perfect (for me), I would need to do more bushcrafting, especially a shelter building system.

I have no idea if this has been discussed before but here are my ideas:

Add paracord , 2 sizes of tarp and a blanket to the game, then:

- Hammok made of wood sticks and rope net , which can be upgraded with small rain tarp and under blanket to boost the temperature bonus inside.

 - Tipi tent , made of long wood sticks and big tarp.

- Rectangle small cabin- like shelter with a big tarp as a roof.

These types of permanent shelters would rock in regions like FM, TM or anywhere really.

Aaaannd it would make the game A+, imo of course.

 

PS: Survival game without a spear seems odd since the first item you would make in a survival situation is an improvised spear of some kind as a best protection from wild life.

You can already craft a shelter from sticks and clothes...

I would like to make some kind of tent made from animal skins. it would be heavy but a real warmth bonus in long expeditions and if the new regions that hinterland are adding are more wilderness themed with no man made stuff the tent would be very valuable

I've wished for a snow shelter made from animal skins as well. I would also like to be able to make a knife/arrow heads, even if they're terrible stone/bone versions, without a forge.

Its awesome that the snow shelter exists (when I *thought* I got locked out of the Carter Dam exit with my bedroll / rifle inside it saved my life) and it would seem a mechanic that could be enhanced easily. @Benjola's spear suggestion makes alot of sense. I could be that fish oil could be used as a sealant for wood in relation to the condition of such an item. But generally I'm in favour of more actual bushcraft - more uses for skins yes, more man made items like tarps no.

in hinterlands may post they mention some kind of bear spear. now I can up my game. I wonder how many spears it will take to down a bear
