The Boy

I'm at Day 211 on Interloper and what I've learned might help others. I used the flare gun to kill bears right at the start. I got a few lucky straight kills and as fast as possible, made 2 bearskin coats. These protect enough that I have 1 flare left, but I never need it. I survive attacks well enough that my bow is all the defense I need. Arrows are gold to me. The game for me now is all about killing bears to keep those two coats mended. 22 total so far. What a change from years ago when I started playing TLD and a bear ambling towards me was terrifying. Now, none of them are safe, howoool!!!.

I'm playing on Interloper (192 Days) and took a chance and went to have a look at Bleak Inlet. The ammunition bench wasn't of much interest to me because on 'loper you get no guns, I thought. But, as they say in the classic "Lo and Behold" I found a revolver in the fishing hut opposite the cannery employees cabins. No ammo though. So now I'm squatting outside the keypad, sleeping in 2 hour shifts awaiting an aurora. 6 nights so far and no luck. Boooring! I have all the ingredients to make ammo except for lead. Can some one tell me is that why I have no aurora, 'cos I don't have all the bullet making ingredients on me?

Some of you may find the route to the security door enjoyable. I don't. It's just plain tedious. As if sleeping in 2 hour shifts outside the door waiting for an aurora isn't boring enough.
