If you're having trouble handling the wolves while protecting the survivor, leave the survivor behind and take the wolves out on your own.  The wolves always attack at the same spot on the map, so you can plan ahead.  If you build a fire and place the survivor next to it, they'll be fine for a while.  You can forge on ahead, take out the wolf pack, then go back for them once the coast is clear.

Or alternatively, another strategy I've heard people use is to nurse the survivor up to 100% health first...then use them as bait.  Using a blue flare to keep themselves safe and wait until a wolf starts attacking the survivor so it stays in one place and make it an easy target, then shoot the wolf.  Wait for the next wolf to attack, shoot it, and repeat until the pack is dead.  Then nurse the survivor back to health and bring them to the community center.

somehow  managed and  defeat them.  just make a way alternative route through near the main road. by the way,   blue flares definately  more effective than bullet. well,  episode 3 now finished.:) looking forward to 4 and 5. now time to more spend on survival mode. 

last man near molly's land when I carrying him every time some  damn wolves appear and again and again.my  blue flare not enough. this is joke or something?!  lost blood  everytime. tried back up saves. every  bullet everything is count dont wanna waste because aiming so hard.sick and tired  every time load a back up save.I stock this part.even I got  super stuff  wolf made coat  and rabbit gloves lost blood.there are too many and normal flares doesn't work for them.  even if managed to deal with one wolves with one bullet shot  wolf crew appear again and again.

trying to get some sleep maybe  just  wolves  go somewhere else.but no still there still wait.most frustrated part all of the wintermute. I really regret playing on the hardest difficulty I guess.any suggestions?maybe alternative route to way back? because directly towards on  molly's  territory is the shortest but definetly impossible to reach the community house.

There is several liters of lantern fuel in various canisters. Not hard to find if you do the side quests

You can dismantle lanterns to get the fuel

yeah  some cave missions  appear while making the main missions.two  crash survivors mission completed two left and resupply almost done.

man, this episode 3 is so  challening. need gas  for resupply  to   community .other things some how you can find.but gas is so rare so random. deal with all other stuff only gas need just a bit all I have in my lantern.almost full for crash survivors in the community house.

Ammunition crafting is specific to Survival mode, as you can't access Bleak Inlet in Episode 2.  The cave in Forlorn Muskeg that normally connects is just a regular cave, and if you try to enter the Ravine, you hit an invisible wall and Will says something like "I'd better stay focused on the task at hand."  But if you make a point to explore every building, you will find more than enough ammo to get by.  You actually don't even need the rifle at all, although it does make managing the wolf population easier.

yeah, already finished episode two.

 since last played story mode so far,   long time past  .game    had   a lots of update process.so I made  fresh start  to  wintermute. just finished first episode.now I'm  in the mystery lake, should I search  for ammunition  of rifle or  craft them?

as I remember  there  are  no any vehichle available in this territory. in the last episode, due to weight problems left all car batteries  in  Milton  that I found.some batteries so useful turn them to scrap lead  to make ammo,  if  ammo work bench available  in the mystery lake of corse. I almost forgot all story location content since I've last played.

I am not totally positive but I heard in Wintermute (Story Mode) that you cannot have / craft a Bow, I'm not positive though... 

ok thanks for the knowledge it's seems to be I have to be very careful  about spending bullet.I haven't hunted a rabbit yet.it's so frustrating without a trap and just chasing with a rock.

Yea unfortunately whetstones are pretty rare, if you can make sure to break any wood you can when you can with your hands... that will save your tools for when you really need em.

I am glad you found a nice place to hunt, the Trappers Homestead is also a nifty place to go if you have or can make some Rabbit Snares.

I found it 100 percent in the top of the tower which jeremiah wants me to make his wolfsuit to repair.some comments about bow and arrow not available for the wintermute is until to 3th episode I'm in the mystery lake territory so it means episode 2 is that true ? I mean bullets are rare and numbered obvius so I know the requirements to craft the bow and arrow but I can't find any maple samping anywhere all other stuff like intestine feathers etc done but maple samping doesn't appear never. 

rabbit hunting is another world it's so tough to hunt.best way to be not hungry for now fishing easy not risky but low calori.deer hunting is the real deal but I need a bow

You shouldn't need it, just store it in a safe place or whatever. I don't recall needing another one.

EDIT: Of course we don't know we may need a rope for future episodes, so yea store it if you can.

luckly I passed the bear main tip about animals bear or wolves  keep away point of view of them.this is the rule I think.tutorials says flares and lights could be useful in theory but pratically  not come in handy. game needs back up alway I have tones of manual saves in my save file. now I'm in the  survival school  missions.discovered the hunting area.it's so good now I can always hunt enough to stock the deer meat.never hungry.

first person shooting  mechanics of the long dark is  like a hunt simulation game.sometimes missed shot  even if too close to the animal.if you couldn't manage to aim you may miss the shot.

but houston we gotta problem.my whetstone  gonna be dead soon.just 11 percent to use.still couldn't fine another one.I have just one hatchet two hunting knives but conditions  almost about 60 50 percent   all three of them.

If you don't need it now you can always store it in a safe place for when you do need it. 

If you're playing Wintermute and you're at the part with Grey Mother then yes you'll need that rope.

just found but too heavy 5kg.don't wanna carry it.is it useful for the future?

I found one on the crafting table in Camp Office...but I believe they're random spawns even in Wintermute.

well, I couldn't so maybe next time.now  my current objective is returning to jeremiah I've just found new rifle in the hunting  cabine.maybe return to main lake land better  check it out. 

I'm in the  mystery lake I realized  lots of stuff can find somehow randomly when continue to progress the story but my  whetstone is about %24 to use.I can't find any so far a new fresh one.is there any location to find or is it craftable? I'm playing at hardest dificulty by the way.
