  1. At this point of my play through, I have finished looting Mystery Lake, Forelorn Muskeg, Broken Railroad and Mountain Town. I collected a ton of stuff and although I did use some stuff, mostly I brought it all to Camp Office. It was lots of trips up and down the ropes between Milton and Trapper's. Lots of trips... anyway, I hope you enjoy my tour of an alpine inspired working camp and survival gear store. Welcome to Camp Office Outpost & Outfitters! A working home base and trading post. Ready to provided for anything and everything you could want or need for extensive cold weather survival under one roof! The place really gets to hoping on Aurora night! Welcome to the lobby area. As you enter you'll be welcomed by an army of 2 liter pots. Can't have too many pots in the apocalypse, am I right? Feel free to look around, there's a lot to take in. As you turn to your right, you'll find our featured beginner adventurer package. Most everything you'll need for a successful hunt under serious weather conditions. This load out features an expedition parka, thermal long johns, work cargo pants and your choice of blue wool mittens or Hunter's orange fleece mittens. You also get a rifle, with 10 rounds of high quality ammo, a fully fueled lantern, a tin of coffee and two tin cans. Rope is recommended, but optional in this package. As you move to your left, you get a good view of our working gun collection. 8 working rifles, each at 100% condition and at least 150 rounds of ammo and a dozen cleaning kits. Get a free box of herbal tea with each 2 liter pot purchased. Moving past the counter, you get to the kitchen/larder and food prep area. We got a pretty good assortment of goodies going here. Not too much of any particular thing, but a little bit of everything. If your hungry we can cook you up a great meal in no time! You should try our brook trout glazed with our grape soda reduction sauce. You've never tried anything this good. lol, most things are good when you're hungry enough, right? \ glancing back to the door, you wish there was a little more shelving... wonder what happened to that chair? as you round the corner you come to our workbench and hardware collection. ( This whole labor of gathering everything started when I couldn't find a single hacksaw when I spawned here on the Mystery Lake Map. Now I got about a dozen of everything except the heavy hammer. ) There's pelts on the floor and guts in the drawer, for your crafting needs and desires. Got anything that needs fixing, scrap metal just to the right of the pelts, just outta the pic. As your finish rounding the corner, you find yourself behind the counter. Here you will find curing maple and birch saplings, fishing tackle, improvised axes and a closer view of guns and ammo. as your gaze sweeps down the counter, you see the under stock where lantern fuel and flares are stored. The lanterns themselves are being used to provide needed lighting until such a time that power is permanently restored. Since that isn't going to happen any time soon, it sure is convenient that we can harvest fish oil to fuel our assortment of lanterns. Clerks view from behind the counter. Just waiting all day for a customer to come in... a quick turn about view from the back door.... still no customers... as you pass by the woodstove, you can check out the food prep area, Here you have access to knives and can openers. Love the fact that I can keep beverages warm, that means there's always a hot drink anytime you visit. Checking out the larder, you have found the canned goods section. mostly coffee, pork n beans and dog food. Don't have any good recipes for dog food, so am saving that til the absolute last. Here's the dry goods section. Got a good assortment of crackers, crunchies and dried jerky. Got a few MRE's as well. Got a ton of water set aside, it was easy to do considering I had all those 2 liter pots. I made 7 fires in a row and brewed 14 liters a shot. made like 4 batches, enough to last for a while at least. There's a pretty good soda supply under the counter. Stacy's grape soda is by far my favorite, followed by orange soda. For some reason Summit soda reminds me of an really inexpensive brand of lemon lime soda in a familiar looking can. But I can taste that orange right now! Tastes like sunshine! Looking back into the larder, a broader look at all the yummies... Looking back to the front door from your vantage by the wood stove, you see even more coffee tins pointing you up the stairs to your right. as you climb the stairs, you get another peek at the larder through the broken balister. as you reach the first landing on the stairs, the room spreads out for a better view. The upstairs mezzanine area holds assorted clothing and health related sundries. A little higher up the stairs and the view continues to fold out some. The red fire light reflecting on the floor is neat. At the top of the stairs you find an assortment of hand crafted items, including a bear skin sleeping back, wolf skin coat and a few pairs of deer skin boots. Nearby is our sharps table with holds a variety of cutting utensils. Hatchets, Knives and improvised axes. Everything you see has been sharpened to 97% or better. At this point whetstones are worth their weight in gold. I wish I had as many whetstones as I do rifle cleaning kits. As you come full circle to the top of the landing, you get a good look int the upper gallery. There are some handcrafted items stored here. Deerskin pants and some rabbit fur gloves. Down along the bottom of the rail you can see lots of boots and along the top is a nice assortment of hats and scarves. Down the left side of the wall you can find some handy self help magazines and books. There's Guns Guns Guns, Surviving the Outdoors, Stay on Target not to forget Wilderness Kitchen and the Frozen Angler. Next to the literature section, you can find a display featuring everything archery. At Camp Office Outfitters you can get pre-fabricated bows and arrows. Or you can use our crafting bench and make your own. There's an abundance of materials here as well as plans, books and hands on guidance. Stepping back from the archery display, you see the shared sleeping area. Staff claims the bottom bunk, the top bunks are always available for visitors and the weary. We try to keep this fire going, so if you are going to stay here, it's everyone's job to collect firewood. As you pan right from the wood stove, you see the infirmary and medical supplies display. A close up look reveals a plethora of antibiotics and pain killers. Just gotta harvest some mushrooms, rose hips and lichen and we can supplement these man made chemicals with natural holistic herbal medications. following the banister you find clothing and boots lined up in a row. The bottom features fully repaired and in new condition clothing made out of nylon and cotton. Clothing items on the top rail are all wool or otherwise of organic materials. The boots however are arranged by condition as each shoe requires cured leather to fix and there is definitely a limited amount of cured leather to be found that would be needed to repair all these boots to new condition. Boots, Hats and Scarves and a couple pairs of deerskin pants Looking back down from the top of the stairs walkway. Looking back to the stairway, can you see Waldo hiding in the back corner there? Where's Waldo? Get back to work, deadbeat! Well thank you taking the Camp Office Outpost & Outfitters Tour. I hope you enjoyed the frivolity of it all. At least as much as I enjoyed making it. Love to hear your comments, questions and feedback. Thanks for reading!
  2. I have launched in Pilgrim mode more than once and there are always burned out buildings on either CH or ML maps. If what your saying is correct then there is no way to complete the achievement in any evolution where a building has been burned down. Maybe @admin, would care to comment on this question? At least they should Know if this achievement is still viable and if the burned out house theory is sound. Ok, for me still looking for any place I could have missed since I started playing this game back in 2015.
  3. I have been trying to complete this achievement since I started playing the game. The instructions are simple: explore every interior location on the Mystery Lake map and the Coastal Highway map. Doesn't sound so difficult, but I am exhausted from covering the same two maps over and over and still coming up short. Although this current play through I did stumble on a previously undiscovered clearing with a cave high up on the hill looking down onto camp office that I hadn't found before. In this particular play through I have also found the prepper bunker in ML, so I figured I must have found all the interior locations. So are caves with a warmth bonus considered interior locations, because the only thing that could be hindering me from completing that achievement is maybe I have missed a cave? I know I have entered every physical interior space that generates a load screen, or at least I think I have. Does interior space include cars? I kinda would expect that it does. any help, ideas, suggestions?
  4. As my torch was fluttering in the last of it's ability to produce light, my fear of being trapped underground in the dark became all to real...
  5. Thank you. And yes, yes it did. I think it's close to 200 liters at that. I guess my survivor wont be too thirsty for a while!
  6. Just curious to see if there is going to be any further development in regards to 3D object manipulation? We can rotate objects when examining them but arent able to do so when trying to "place" an item on a shelf. I can find a flashlight in game that is sitting upright on a counter but once i pick it up i can only set it down on it's side for example. Same goes for the rifle. I can find a rifle propped up on it's side but once i pick it up i can only place it flat. What about putting items on the top shelf, sure would be nice to utilize that empty space when "decorating" my base. and one last question, any chance of getting a system to hang stuff from the walls? Maybe we can get to stack some stuff as well in the future?
  7. Outstanding! ...and that's why we don't go outside at night, children.
  8. Wow, the colors of prepared rose hips and the varied colors of the prepared mushrooms really come to life when heaped together in a pile. For some reason the AI allows all these items to clip together creating a very pleasing appearance. The bowl just looks so full it's got a depth about it that makes it feel real. I think I'll captioned this pic Med Prep.
  9. Right? So glad to see someone else who is annoyed about that chair that we cant sit on anyways even if it was right side up already. I see you picked up that bullet under the chair!
  10. The Summit during the Aurora is spectacular when the weather is clear. By the bright light of the full moon, the crows are out doing their dance of the dead in the middle of the night. hmmm, is that a mouse shadow on the moon ? Looting the tail section by electric candle light was never this easy...
  11. Gourmet dining farmhouse rustic style! Join me for freshly pan seared game featuring recently harvested, venison, bear and wolf steaks. Tonight's menu begins with a savory cup of tomato bisque accompanied with crisp salty crackers. The main course features some beautiful hand selected bear, wolf and deer steaks. The meat is cooked to perfection and served with a generous portion of baked beans. The lightly grilled cattail stalks add just the right amount of vegetable crunch to this protein powerhouse meal of manly meat dishes. A nice bowl of warmly stewed peaches and cream provides the sweet finish to this awesome culinary experiences. Following such a big meal, you might need some liquid refreshment, you'll find everything at your ready, tea to help you sleep, tea to kill the bugs, tea to heal the pain, coffee to keep you alert and good old H20.
  12. I must say this is a one of a kind pic here on share your screenshots. Too kewl! I wish I would have thought of it. Brilliant
  13. hmmm.... must be 18 to enter and have a valid credit card number?
  14. It's taken a little game time to get good with the bow. Now my weapon of choice having learned how to crouch and shoot the bow at the same time. My "HeadShot" series:
  15. Here's a pic of my crib... trying to come up with a clever caption, any suggestions? please comment.
  16. Here's a little series I call "curing in place..." the bear just wanders right into camp... Custom animal hide headboard, took 10 rabbit pelts to line the top of the headboard and the legs, 3 deer hide to fill in the back and lower sides and 3 wolf pelts to give it an arch. And if you are wondering, no this is not a mod, this is a fantastic little glitch, imho.
  17. I been busy crafting and killing. Or has it been killing and crafting. Either way got the scars to show for it.
