The northernmost Trailer in Mountain Town If the outhouse wasn't jammed shut, it would be the last stop before Hushed River Valley.

I can't say for sure, but what a night! 😀🍻😵

True. The real wolf death trap is impatience. Happens to me when I'm set on getting somewhere in a hurry or just get complacent. Not death necessarily, but wolf struggles, which wear you down. A place I still get caught out is the rail line through Mystery Lake. Also, I sometimes choose the struggle if my guy is in good condition and close to shelter, which is a pattern of behavior that can lead to being less cautious in general I suppose.

Each to their own of course, but the existence of Custom Settings opens up a wider array of ways the game can unfold. I would encourage players who haven't yet to try it. With sprains off, I'm definitely more bold with climbing and have more falls, so it's not necessarily just about avoiding an annoyance. I've gotten food poisoning from 60% venison, so whatever the warning/information system is, there's going to be unforeseen mishaps (which is good). I would be fine with what you hypothetically suggest, since it's actually more representative of incomplete knowledge of food condition. At least until we get smell-o-vision. 😄 If there's a warning, you wouldn't be getting something randomly out of nowhere. It would be cause and effect based on probability.

Ah, what the hell... I'm sure it'll be fine. 😉 I'll bring some smoked fish and fermented peaches.

Oh no. The last one did not end well for me. 😵 😄

There might be worse places, but I'd say Skeeter's Ridge in Pleasant Valley. It's a shame because I like the northern area, but Skeeter's has almost nothing, and now there's a gruesome plane crash nearby. Good for looting clothes and food, but otherwise disturbing.

Well, there will no doubt be many wolves there on stalker. Even on other settings they are widespread. I like how the forests in HRV tend to be denser than other regions. Wolves can surprise you sometimes, but it goes both ways. I've been able to get more than a few wolves as they hunt deer and rabbits, which are also plentiful. ps. That's interesting about the southern part of the Muskeg. Hadn't really thought about staying there long, but the openness, especially on clear days, is intriguing. It's also quite worth it to learn the safe paths across the middle. The fog and the bears can often make that a fun time.

Indeed it is. 🙂 I like to think of HRV as a big reserve of provisions. That's why I like north MT so much. North PV has a similarly abundant region adjacent to it, but less in the way of useful structures. A walk up from Thomson's Crossing with a rest at the base of the rope climb isn't too bad tho. Or a more cross country route from the Barn can be fun.

I'll be the guy who (annoyingly 🙃) points out that you can turn off sprains in Custom Settings. Get all your Feats and several dozen sprains playing a preset difficulty, then you can be considered to have the training and boot building skills to hike around Great Bear without getting hurt in that way. I always have sprains off and I like it much better, although during the Winter's Embrace event, I just made room for bandages and pain pills and kept going. It was a necessary adaptation to speed up the search for all the maple syrups I didn't find. 😄

You can get onto the boat, but not into it as far as I know. I've looked all around it for a door or hatch, but nothing opens.

That, or he heard about the Harvest of Lepus. 😄

If I'm in the mood for homesteading I like the northern area of Mountain Town, using the Church as a central hub. Indoor campfire is nice plus there's a bed. Good hunting in all directions with big stoves in the Milton House and the Farmhouse. Also lots of car trunks around for meat lockers. The north Trailer has a workbench and beds and is the jump off point for hunting trips to HRV. No fishing, which is a problem for lamp oil supplies, but I like to take trips anyway, so Coastal Highway here I come! 😀 🐟🐟🐟 Back in a few weeks...

Fishing tackle is always a good sewing back up too. 😉

Timberwolf Mt. is a great region for hunting of course, so if you need to lighten up for the trip there, you can go in without much food as long as you've got your favorite hunting weapons. And some fish hooks.

It's true. More important to remember simple tools and a few scrap metal for repairing the saw. If you have the space that is. A whetstone, a few extra cloth, and a few fishing tackle are always good.

Lol. That's great!

@dahemac You know, now you've got me wondering about that first one. You should go there and investigate. Let me know if I've lost it. 😵😄
