The boat only appeared the one time for me. Don’t remember how long it stayed for, i died shortly after lol. I think i got dunked too. Havent seen it since. My current run ive found at least 10 hatchets and 20+ arrows lol

Ive gotten nowhere close to getting all the cairns

I do love that early game struggle too. Its my favorite part.

Wow thats a run! What did you do during the last 2k days? How did you keep from being bored?

My current run just made 365 days. This may not be a big deal to some but for me it has been 3 years since my last 365 day run. This is probably due to my strange and unwelcome affinity for bear mouths, coupled with some tendency toward impulsiveness. My question is, how many runs on average do yall do before hitting a year on average? And just curious, whats your longest run? Mine is 502 days, set in 2017 lol.

HRV has grown on me lately. I now try to set up in the caves near mammoth lake and explore once I got some deer killed. Just spent 56 days there. Only left due to stupid scurvy risk and a bit of boredom. Its really pretty and once you get your bearings theres a TON of wildlife to hunt. And theres a moose satchel and a full moose carcass

I do love milton basin, and will stay there a week or two whenever i am in MT. As for the town itself, i think its seeing the all the dark empty homes. Part of me thinks the town would be better had it all burned down. And something about St Christophers creeps me out.

My usual is a custom stalker with weather turned to max horrible and cold, item decay to low (i hate the super fast decay), and wildlife respawn rates to high (empty void worlds depress me lol)

There certainly is a dark atmosphere about milton. Its like living in a shipwreck (like a big cruise ship not the riken)

I generally avoid bears as they eat me a lot. But my current run is on day 318 and ive finally brought my bears killed number to above “times mauled by bears” number. Killed 11, mauled 10 times. Dont judge. Me and bears, we got history.

For me it is bleak inlet and forsaken airfield. FA is overwhelmingly vast and featureless, its like wandering the void, and i am not a glimmer fog fan. Bleak inlet cause it seems like every part of the map wants to kill you, with nasty pointy teeth…

Ty. It required some planning, but the cool thing about the shed is there is just tons of reclaimed wood in those pallet stacks. Also I tend to try the marathon fires late game when its colder. Combine cold with level 5 firestarter and fuel lasts a long while🔥

I can think of ways to make em but it would require metalworking a good bit above the level that I know how to do

Yup. The shed office is the site of my longest campfire, 530 hours.

I could suture with a hook if I needed to, but I have no idea how to get the line to stay on there without making a knot or metal loop that would make the pull thru brutal and crude

Or a different kind of “snow”….

Those are good points. Especially with the fishing tackle.

They are definitely tweaking. Maybe they found something stronger than coffee….

I tend to wander a lot. I rarely stay in a region for more than 30 dats, and since I like to be eaten by bears (jk i hate that part but it happens a lot) I dont live that long most times. I like outdoor bases. Currently I am in a cave in HRV with 75kg of moose meat and 3 deer and about a quarter of a bear. Probably stay another two or 3 weeks just due to the mountain-o-meat. But other “homes” for me are the mountaineers cabin, Hermit’s cabin in milton basin, the church in desolation point, Spence family homestead in FM, and my favorite late stage home, the office in BR. If i gotta stay indoors the farmhouse in PV or camp office in ML. Oh, and Jackrabbit island. Something about staying outdoors feels more real, and the having to upkeep clothes adds a challenge to the game for me. Plus I like seeing the Aurora lol. I play a custom stalker based game nowadays. I dont want the brutality of loper but voyageur is a bit too easy.

That would make a great episode in the hopefully one day upcoming netflix series

I can attest that besides patching the odd hole here and there, usually in kids’ stuffed animals, suturing doesnt make for good sewing. Maybe I could be immune to bloodloss or something….

Yeah I wonder too

If you are on a map with a bunch of bears, is it possible to lure one bear into the territory of another? If so, what happens? Do they just ignore each other or is it bear deathmatch right away?

This happened about 30 days into my current 260 day run. I was in TWM and I had just killed a deer, shooting it on crystal lake. It ran off, but while chasing it I heard it die. It died on one of the little hills where the moose and bear patrol near those two cargo containers. I looked around and saw nothing. Cut up the deer. After the cutscene, there was Mr. Bear, craving tiffburgers. Apparently I was too slow in leaving, and got mauled again. Panic dropped the deer meat, stopped the blood loss, emergency stim and booked it out. The very next day, shot a deer again on crystal lake, quite near the mountaineers cabin, and it dropped. cut up the deer, and after the cutscene Mr. Dam Bear was there and mauled me again. I dropped pretty much everything and ran, but got mauled 3 feet from the mountaineers hut. This bear had a taste for my blood I guess. This time, stopped blood loss, emergency stim, rifle, boom, and it dropped. I had no shoes, no pants, no hat, one of two expedition parkas ruined, no gloves. So I made new clothes out of all those animals I shot. But the fact the bear mauled me 4 times in two days, the second two times in a place ive never seen a bear go, scared the bejesus out of me. It was like vengeance bear or something…

The veterinarian dispatched to take care of the wolves was eaten by the wolves…
