I fear the effects of Regional (and Local) Lost and Found.   😁

Regionally, it can mass destroy food supplies and move gear to a distant location and it does it to everyone.  No exceptions.   😓

Locally, it can destroy food supplies, but can have spotty coverage so not as bad.  

I am glad this cataclysm is a rare one but when it happens it can be all-encompassing.  😅

Moose is 100%the spookiest animal. After getting mauled by a bear in Desolation Point, I took a emergency stim to outrun it into a car. Slept in the car, tried to walk home to the lighthouse and got caught in a storm with a moose on the road going towards the lighthouse. I had a few broken ribs to deal with, but I eventually found the bear again and got a pelt from it. Never seen the moose again but I’m thankful it didn’t finish the job

Not so much "scares" me, but what "alarms" me the most is when I come up over a blind spot, and bam!, immediate wolf attack.  Makes my heart lurch.  I'm beginning to play Passive Wildlife because of it.  I'm gettin' too old for that

Oh, that's the easy. The haunted Carter Hydro dam. That place is cursed, I'm telling you. Metal straining doesn't make the same 'bump, bump, bumpbumpbump' sound repeatedly. Something is *in* that dam, I'm telling you. And whatever it is, it isn't good.

Maybe it's the DarkWalker or the ghost of Fluffy . .or both O.O

Just the overall atmosphere that has been created.  I love The Long Dark for the "good" anxiety it gives me.  Wondering if you will make it to the next shelter or the next meal, can be demanding on the heart.  This game has an amazing ability to get me right on the edge of my seat, like no other game I've ever played.  The world is so immersive and eerie without doing much at all.  Just the need to survive, is a driving focus that can be found at all times.  It's easy to forget about the game itself even, as I can so wrapped up in the character, I'm thinking as him.  It's a neat experience that no other game has really provided at such constant levels.  I never find myself bored with just trying to beat death. It's that parallel I can draw to my own life, which makes it all the much better.  In the end, we're all just trying to cheat death one more day...

The speed that bear can run...towards you. ..

For me… undoubtedly the first time I tried the Darkwalker challenge. I beelined for the nearest building, locked myself in a room, and hid under the covers until it got me .

Stupid me just realized that this thread is talking about Survival Mode . But the Darkwalker still stands.

Rope bridges in Ash Canyon.

Ravin Falls Trestle. (I died twice in my early times)

When you climb on a rope, the time you understand you couldn’t get the top. And that painful sound.

I agree with the rope bridges in Ash Canyon - they never fail to scare me as I inch over them a few steps at a time.

My ineptitude and inability to learn from past mistakes.

Got stuck there for a week once...

It was a Voyageur game so the hunger was not too bad, and I had a pack with several MREs. I did make it out, and got attacked by a wolf as I approached Quonset, then while I was bandaging that up another wolf got me and I faded into the long dark. Very annoyed to have survived all that to be offed while I was doing first aid a few metres from home.

I'm scared of electrocution. There's a few places with electrical wires and I can't tell if they're live. The aurora mine in Coastal has cables on the water, but the water always looks electrified to me, I honestly can't tell when it is. The reason I got stuck down there was fannying about too long because I was so scared of the water.

Definitely whenever I need to cross the train bridge in the Ravine, it’s creaky and one wrong step and you’ll fall to your death. Also the ash canyon rope bridges are terrifying. Also, moose they don’t like to run away when you shoot them.
