Valuable Hunting Knife

This one was a bit too interesting- first run after revolver update, desperate for food in Muskeg so followed a wounded wolf onto the ice. when I came out of the harvest sequence this big lad was about 10 feet away. stroke of luck number 1, still had my revolver equipped. Stroke of luck number 2, my panicked instinctive trigger squeeze fired a round just as the bear reared up to charge. straight through the snout, dead as a doornail. I've backed up a bit for the photo.

I know what you mean... I've taken hundreds of more 'interesting' shots, but I think this will always be my favourite:

The need to use bait would be an interesting change too- you could keep a piece of meat of a stipulated size, that would become more potent as it 'aged', but with the disadvantage of attracting predators... maybe even some crafted lures such as spoons or using feathers and gut to make flies? crafting a rod from maple to get bigger fish is perhaps another option. 🐟

so much more than I was expecting after the recent ep 3 update, thank you ... anyway, that looks to me like a lathe?!

Yes to noodles. people love noodles. 🍜

Just wanted to echo peteloud's comments re: not being too irritated- the L&F is after all Hinterland trying to resolve an issue. Personally, if I raise things or report a bug it's because I know they will at least consider solving it. I appreciate there may be technical issues beyond my ken that mean this particular problem can't be fully fixed right now.

I've just had what may be a a bit of a run-ender with this. Had explored about 80% of HRV on a survival run prior to ep 3 update. have just now gone back into HRV, there's a L&F box just outside the cave as you enter the region, full with about 40 kilos of gear that I had previously dropped in little stashes in caves, near ropes etc. Really don't want to lug it all back piece by piece to re lay the depots, especially if the same thing happens when there's another update in Dec. Anyone got any ideas how I can better depot gear to avoid this happening again? I had a few issues in MT & PV on the same run, but this was mainly meat I'd dropped outside buildings to try and make it keep better. As most places you would depot in these regions have buildings and containers, the rest of my gear was ok.

Dying, then starting over again...
