    Store your harvested meat outside if you’re not ready to cook it, as well as after you’ve cooked it. It’s ok to keep it in a pile immediately outside of your front door, it will not attract predators if you drop it all in the “sweet spot,” and meat stored outside in the cold decays significantly slower so it will still be high condition when you’re ready to cook it / eat it. To find that sweet spot, leave your base with minimal clothing, on the step where you see that you’re beginning to freeze is your “sweet spot.” From most bases, that spot will also be within the bounds of the base so animals (many times even charging ones) will stop prior to that spot because it’s part of the base in the code. Therefore, all of your meat will last significantly longer (I’ve left zones with piles of cooked fish & venison, played for 50 in game days or so in another area, and came back to meat still above 50% condition), it will be safe from predators, and you’ll save valuable storage space in your containers inside of your base. 

    One think I do about meat is, when I kill a wolf, I harvest 2 KG of meat, and start a fire to last just enought to cook it, and leave. This way, when I pass this way again, I have 2 pieces of meat with 100 % condition, since it don't start to spoil until we colect from the fire. It can last forever there...

    I also can't resist carrying around waaaaay more 'emergency' supplies than I need. Moving from Camp Office to Trappers Cabin? Better take 3L of water, 5 bandages, 15 cloth, a couple of firestrikers, 3 flares, three different firearms, and a bow with 10 arrows.

    You know. Just in case.

    You forgot the bear bedroll, 3 or 4 stims, and food for 7 days.

    Great news!

    I play this game since 2015, and I can say this is the best game ever. I have 48 yo, and started playing videogames with about 10 years, on consoles like Intellivision, Atari2600, and this is the game I have spent more hours, and enjoyed most in my life. And it can surprise me, and make me leaving work earlier just to play.

     

    Thanks Raphael, and Hinterland.
