Day 45.
The plan was to go pick the stuff up from Milton park. Left early in the morning with full fatigue. Made it to the cave, and noticed the bear, patrolling the bottom plateau under the Trappers. Ive decided that after I finish up my run for items, I will need food, and I need another rug to craft a coat, eventually. This bear will have to die.

I went on a very light run, just clothes, bow and 4 damaged arrows, a few odds, and ends. Collected fuel on my way through the cave. Slept at the end of the cave for 2 hours. Down the one rope I go, I go grab a hatchet that's lying in the snow by the nearby corpse (don't want it to rust up, do we? ) - then continue on to Milton rope. Wolf is minding his own business this time. Before I climb the rope, I take a sip of a coffee.

I grab all the beautiful stuff I had in Milton´s park office, including the bear rug, now 90% cured. Too bad I dont have one at nearly that capacity, crafting that would be awesome... two advanced rifle books, one frontier, sewing primer and target practise books. And a cooking book, I believe. Climb tired me up, and the bed here is warm, so I take clothes off except for rabbit hat and gloves, and take a 5 hour nap. 

Its evening, so I dress up, and down the rope I go. Wolf still doing his thing. I stop by the cave to grab all the coal in there, and the bedroll before it gets ruined. I finish off the rest of my coffee, and up the rope I go. After a short walk through the cave, I am back at Mystery lake.

Too late to trekk home to Office. Hungry, too. Remembered that I dropped two pieces of venison by the Trappers ages ago. So, spending night at Trappers - actually, maybe not a bad idea... tommorow, it shall be the bear hunting day... 

Day 47, time to bag a second bear. Still before day 50, so I still cant use a firearm to kill it, if I want the silent hunter achievement... nevermind. Going old-school .

Cant find a frickin single stone for the life of me. Had to walk all the way behind the stone wall of the Milton cave to find some pieces. Going to need those to lure the bear into the ambush.

I sit on a sharp rock by the entrance to the Trappers... this should make me out of the reach of the bear. Here he comes... One stone throw - he trudges to it. Another stone throw, right down below me... He comes by, obediently. Stand up, draw up the bow... Thump. Roar. Bear falls down. Headshot, clean kill. Dont think I have ever instakilled a bear with a bow before. Woah. Gotta love level 4 archery.

Ripped off about 12 kg of meat from the carcass, then quartered it. Nightfall comes. I take the proccessed bear and shove it inside the house. Next couple of days consist of me, cooking up steaks and water as I rest and reach the Cookbook, then target practise, then sewing primer.

Loads of high quality clothing is starting to degrade, will have to start doing a lot more repairs... also should pay a visit to Pleasant valley farmstead, where i left some high end clothes in bad condition as well. Wanna repair it before it wears out entirely.
