    When are they going to catch on and allow adjustable difficulty settings?  It would solve the problem with cabin fever and other afflictions for many people.

    Variable difficulty is a well known requested feature but, for the moment, the dev team has chosen to focus development on their chosen experience modes. Hopefully, it will be a feature added in the future.

    On the actual topic I've always been a fan (and long time proponent of) not restricting the ability to sleep when afflicted with Cabin Fever because it seems so artificial. Instead it should be the gradual reduction of condition recovery to the point where you can't recover at all. 

    For instance, with "mild" cabin fever condition recovery is cut in half. With "severe" cabin fever you cannot recover at all.

    But then too, nomadic players generally don't try for for extended long-term games, either.

    I'd agree with that. I usually play with a goal (get an achievement, map all the maps, craft something) and once I've accomplished that and reached a point where I'm self sustaining (I normally play Stalker these days) I'll start a new game. As a consequence my average game rarely lasts over a 100 days now. Simply because I can't be bothered with the monotony of long term play.

    I got eaten by a wolf in FM within 2 minutes of spawning once, but the dumbest death by far was walking off the summit of TWF in heavy fog at night (right near the rope climb) on my second try at Hopeless Rescue.

    Welcome to the forums @Riotintheair ^_^

    I guess your character had a riot in the air... I'll see myself out :$

    What type of weapons do you own, and what do you hunt ??

    Well, your vacation sounds really fun but there is one essential thing you two must do first: practice. Whatever you plan to bring practice with it first. You should have a fun time then without any unexpected surprises :) 

     

    The downside with limited equipment is that you a) really need to know what you're doing and b) have a much smaller margin of error. For instance, I probably have the skills to go with limited equipment but I never have because I like having lots of options. For instance, at least three ways to light a fire that I'm comfortable using. Multiple light sources. Cooking equipment that can be used on both an open fire and stove. Etc. etc. What this means is that I always pack way too much on my excursions but I also have redundancies. Most importantly, I can use, field service, and am experienced with everything I bring. Not to dissuade you but if you are planning to go based on just what you can fit on a belt I would highly recommend taking survival courses so you know how to start a fire without matches. Also, bring a hatchet (an axe and saw are way better) to make your lives easier, leave detailed plans with friends/relatives in case you get lost, know how to navigate in the wild, and bring an orange garbage bag. Those things are great! Waterproof for shelters, you can wear them as a poncho, and highly visible for attracting attention :)

    Also, while I seriously dont like it, I also get the reason why hunting is banned altogether in here - Europe is unlike Canada and States, where you can sometimes go for 1 hour on a car and not see another city... in here, you go half of an hour on foot by a road and you are quaranteed to run into a town or a village, or at least a house... there is no free wilderness anymore, and if hunting were allowed, not only we would quickly lose all wildlife, but accidents where hikers get shot instead of an animal would likely be common, since there are already a lot more hikers in the mountains then there is a game.

    Oh, I know quite a few places in Canada (and I'm sure the same is true in the US) where you can drive for several hours without seeing any towns larger than 10 000 people and that's on the Trans Canada Highway :) 

    Go off the highway and there's more than a few places where there's no one around.
