Tent-able

[Semple Fi]

So how about a couple things here, we currently only have the snow shelter as an option.  
How about adding a Mountaineer/backpackers Tent, with a similar difficulty in obtaining it to that of the Technical Backpack?  It fits the area and the lore for sure.  

For interloper - Animal Hide Teepee.  
Difficulty for this could be a a bit much but: 2 Moose hides and 4-5 maple daplings?  Or an alternate idea of 5-6 deer hides and 4-5 maple saplings. 
Also, would REQUIRE a Travois for transport.  

Some reasoning on this: A backpacker tent should be a “one-a-game” item.  The benefits are obvious - 15 sticks/5cloth/45 minutes and frostbite fingers for a snow shelter… When those random blizzards kick up the middle of FA or PV open fields the added wind chill bonus would be a life saver.  Useful for Timberwolf and likely Mountain Pass.  No protection from bears or wolves like the snow shelter though

The TeePee fits well as a craft able item for interloper, providing the same benefit of shelter as the backpacker tent.  However the weight of the thing becomes the balancing factor.  Could have a fire inside the tent, this would protect from wolves.  Not bears though, so keep your scent meter down….  Would need to be repairable with cloth like the moosehide satchel, otherwise the degradation after use would make it untenable.  
Unless it was a deer hide tent, those are plentiful enough to come by.  
An animal skin teepee would provide warmth and wind protection, 30-40 hours to craft??

I like the teepee ,looks neat.    I'd rather use the maple saplings for that rather than the travois.

An idea I had was a portable stove for tents like your idea, where the stove is quite heavy, but can fit in a tent, and is windproof. Downsides are, an obvious weight, a slow condition lost over long days of use, but also, it can only hold a max of 5 hours of fuel. It's a small stove, smaller than the round stoves in Ice Fishing Huts, so it can't hold much fuel. So you'll have the ability to sleep anywhere with the tent and stove, but you won't be able to get full rests without the stove going out. The max of 5 hours would also limit its heat output.

 

I imagine it would look similar to this stove, maybe a little more rustic to fit the situation on Great Bear.

 

Thus, with the tent and stove, you'll be able to make actual camping trips out in the wilderness of Great Bear, Ice Fishing in spots without a Hut, or just in the woods that don't have easy windbreaks for campfires. Such an endeavor however would require a travois to help carry the items, or a high carry capacity, plenty of fuel, as well as repairs to the stove and tent when you are done, but, I'd love to be able to go camping with these if these were added!

I should think that 4 pieces of coal and a stick would do quite nicely .

Im not sure tbh. The game has 5 million caves - some of them magically superheatet  (in inteloper at least). This doesn't really add much gameplay. 

We have the snowshelter doing nearly the same thing. 

That Tepee picture though👍

I really like this idea! Though I think they should at the same time keep the snow shelters, as they would be warmer than a tent.

I don't think this is a good idea specifically because we have the snow shelter. I know you mentioned it, but think about it

 

I did think about it......

I like the idea of using hides to  craft a shelter. Tent or teepee.  A tent from hides would be smaller and easier.  Maybe just a couple of  dear hides.  No room for a fire though.  I think they could make it so limbs could be crafted into teepee poles. Size size that would be more realistic than saplings and it would require a lot  more hides that Maybe have to be sewn into a  full piece. In other words a lot more work but with the bonus of being able to place a fire.
