Long Loper Run

[Dalos]

So i had this great idea to kill some time on FM by heading up to Poacher's, killing a bear and getting his skin curing on this map while i move on to Bleak Inlet to explore a bit.

too bad it's a pea soup fog kind of day.

 

[Dalos]

Bear time though

Day 138 - Blink Inlet

anybody else not pay enough attention and end up walking on sketchy ice, not hit the run key soon enough and freeze their nuts off?

 

[Dalos]

Day 140

Bear time again. Skinny guy though. Just 26 KG.

 

 

[Dalos]

Bleak Inlet is a map i am not in love with but i don't hate. There are some decent shelters and once you kill the bear, there's a nice little living space cave with easy access to fishing hut.

but it's always too damn cold and windy to get an outside fire going. I had to let my healthy drop <50% just to harvest that damn bear.

Bear poacher!😁

You sir are one brave man for taking on these angry pandas with a sharp stick!(or an occasional flare gun)

[Dalos]

Thanks!

ok, day 144 on BI. been surviving in the bear cave for a few days and then hiked up to this cabin and stayed a night. Some expired cans of food there and cloth but nothing else. I do wish i had done the Ravine to BI climb before so i could have roped myself up to the radio tower but that's on the list for later.

The weather here is the pits. This day has been the only manageable one so far. Every other day has been a freeze your nuts off in 20 minutes kind of day.

 

[Dalos]

Thinking of going to the cannery soon if the weather holds tomorrow.

for the record, i HATE the cannery with the fire of a thousand suns. I lost a nice Loper game there by freezing to death while waiting for an aurora and the door to open.

[Dalos]

so yeah, scratch that plan. I though what if i go to the cannery without the stupid code from the antenna building and i can't get in. Then i freeze my balls off or get timberwolved for naught.

so i decide  to make it out from where i came up, through the muskeg. i wait till the afternoon when it is moderately warmer, then  take the shortcut by the little frozen pond through the mountain.\

 

 

[Dalos]

and then this happens.

 

 

[Dalos]

Damn it. Gonna run out of arrows before i run out of timberwolves.

 

 

[Dalos]

 

here's the bloody aftermath. really glad i made it to the cave. damn timbers followed me right in though. I picked up a book near the body on the ledge before dropping down and i was able to light up a fire as soon as i got in the cave which helped fend them off.

all in all, not bad considering they had me dead to rights in the middle of nowhere. Time for some sleep.

 

 

[Dalos]

so i didn't die there but something worse happened. I got bored. Once you hit cooking 5 then survival is only really threatened by some dumb fall or repeated attacks. Or stepping on a live wire in the dam which i have totally done.

gonna start another run on different settings to up the challenge again
