But for those few moments you were floating on cloud 9?
Was your survivor lighter than air? Or perhaps have a sinking feeling?
Was there some bad granola in the plane that resulted in a bad trip?
I'll stop now.

And you're right, near indefinite survival is certainly possible. @Drifter Man had a post on a 1000 day run that ended due to the time involved and a game update that deleted the save. I think he got over 800 days in the end though and that was confined to mostly one map (with the occasional looting expedition). For the original post see "1000 Days in the Dam" below

And like @Hotzn and @Ohbalmentioned the biggest problem with the Long Dark isn't survival length, it's what to do while surviving. Once you get established there is little to do beyond exploring and keeping your water/food/firewood stocked up.

And self imolation is a pain! I've almost done that to myself more than once (at the cost of my boots on one occasion too!)

If you're looking for the "melt snow" option it is only available when interacting with a lit fire. Furthermore, there needs to be enough time left on your fire to melt the snow. For instance, you won't be able to melt 3 L in 20 min.
