Perren

For me:  Desolation Point.

I think it would be cool to live in a lighthouse.  That's not going to happen in real life so I can do it virtually at least in game. 

1) wolf attack

2) dumb luck

3) my lack of planning

Every demise in this game have resulted from a combination of these 3 things.  Usually the wolf doesn't kill me but knocks my health down.  Then dumb luck where a weather event rolls in or I randomly get a sprain.  Then my lack of planning for such events does me in.

Survivorman, Les Stroud, uses the analogy of 3 lemons. Each lemon is something that is a bad event and when you get to 3 then you know you need to leave.  In real life that's when you would call for help or bee-line to safety.  In this game we just respawn.

My previous survival game was on day 55.  I was trying to transfer all of my gear from Milton to Mystery Lake ranger station.  I climbed down into the area between the ranger station in Milton and the cave leading to ML with about 85lbs of gear. My fatigue was at 3/4 descending into this area.  I didn't see the wolf nearby who attacked me. I was able to fight him off but further reduced my fatigue and now my health was at 1/2. I thought I had enough fatigue to climb up the rope towards the cave, almost got to the top and then fell off.  Now my health was low and my fatigue was empty.  My lack of planning here was me forgetting to bring a bedroll.  I didn't have enough fatigue to climb out of this area and I couldn't rest.  Lesson learned: watch for wolves (always), always bring a bed roll, mind the fatigue bar.

First, you dig a big hole, then fill it with ash.  Then place green peas around the edge of the hole.  When the bear comes up to take a pea you kick him in the ash hole.

First, learn from your mistakes.  Dying is ok as long as you learn why and prevent it in the future.

Second, If you run across a shelter that is far from your home base don't clean it out.  Leave your future self some food and water there, along with some wood.  Not much, just a little something where if you had to use it as an emergency shelter it might save your life. It's very easy for the tides to turn in this game. Maybe you'll get attacked by a few wolves and then a blizzard shows up. Leaving yourself a few emergency rations and wood might save your bacon.

Maybe they could add a feature to bring a battery with you and then hook it up to the elevator?

If you have clothes with enough protection, medical supplies and a sharp knife you could go hand-to-hand with the wolves.
