I thought I had fully explored them...perhaps it was long enough ago I forgot though.

That cave in DP is the only one I ever recall finding a wolf in.

"Survival Story"? No, but could have been! My Father and I were exploring the mountains of Central Nevada, US on his UTV. We discovered a Jeep trail which led high into the mountains, over a pass and dropped down the other side and looped all the way around to where we started. We love loops so we don't have to backtrack on the same trails. Up we go...it started getting colder and snow began appearing on the ground. Put it in 4WD and kept going. The pass was completely snow-covered but packed enough to where we could still drive on it. We crested the summit and began heading down the other side. Snow drifts were deep in some places and slick in others but going downhill was not too much trouble. Using a saved Google Earth Map on my iPad, we plotted the best course we thought would take us on our loop. The road led down into a shallow canyon with a frozen creek and many trees. We managed to get about 5 miles down from the summit before we came across an impassable blockade of fallen trees. We did not have any kind of saw and the trees were too large to winch out of the way. We spent the next couple hours looking for alternate routes around but could find none. We had no option but to try to get back to the summit and backtrack down the other side we had come up. 4WD fully engaged with diff-lock on we headed out. Going back up was scary indeed. There were multiple times that deep snow caused us to get stuck so we'd have to back up and try to get more of a run at the hills. One particular small ravine crossing with a deep drift on the other side was particularly challenging since the small ravine had cut a good size channel in the road which we had to hit head on full speed - glad I had my seatbelt on! Yes, we did manage to get back safely to our vehicle. Lessons learned? Carry more survival gear on our rigs! I have enough materials/tools/food/water purification/clothing, etc. on mine to last several days now if needed. My Father carries a small chain saw now 😜

@Patrick Carlson, the link appears to be broken?

$30 may be a lot for someone to "try" a game and find out they don't like it.

Yes, the Camp Office is at ML

A noticeable difference is that in WM, they don't show as an inventory item (hence the reason they cannot be "used").

When venturing outside, when possible, always have a destination ("I can make it to the Watch Tower before dark") and don't push your luck. Don't be impatient.

Only make the cloak if you really need it - it is really heavy.

I know one is offered on xbox.

Welcome to the forums, @TheLongDude! I hope your performance issue has improved. I tried playing TLD on xbox after years of playing on the PC...I couldn't do it. Using a stick to move a cursor around vs. a mouse is just agonizing to me.

It sure is!

That it is, my friend.

Accomplishment. Not every reward in this world is physical.

The end battle was difficult for some (myself included, I think I spent about 3 hours trying it). Frustrating yes. Rewarding? Yes!

Nope, not in sandbox yet. It will typically be released to sandbox at the same time as the Wintermute update (in the case where they are making changes to a zone). Hinterland has already hinted at the possibility of players having to move their stored stuff, as they've done in the past. More to come...

Can't say I have...surprisingly because I have played quite a few times drunk.

I adapt to each situation: How much weight can I spare? What's the temperature? Are predators nearby? These questions determine whether I quarter or not, also what tool I use. If predators are nearby, I will usually make a fire while I harvest. If conditions are ideal, I will harvest by hand so as to save condition on my tools. The latter is a bit overkill, but I just hit day 1,000 and resources are beginning to get scarce.

Once you get lvl 5 cooking, it magically becomes edible, so keep track of it.

She mentioned that one in her post.

I suppose if the custom settings are right, this may be achievable.

It's near a stream/river.

Suuuurrreee

I don't agree this is "grindy", in fact it's an achievement you will get through normal play (if you live long enough).

Nope, give you a hint: you actually drop down a small ledge to where you see my footprints. I thought I was going to be trapped at first!
