I like this idea and this could work. There is a lot of sets and lore already in the game about logging going on in the island. This zone could be the final forest on bear island that is untouched by logging and maybe as you first enter the zone there is a small logging camp as if they were starting to get to this area before the "event" happened.

I like your idea but one of the biggest issues is that revolvers are popular because they don't jam. I know guys who specifically conceal carry revolvers because it eliminates having to deal with a jam if they are in a sticky situation. This is because of the rotating cylinder. In a semi auto pistol there are three ways it can jam, failure to fire, failure to feed, and failure to eject. Failure to happens either because the bullet is a dud or more likely there is some sort of gunk causing resistance to the pin which is making it from hitting the round properly to fire. Failure to feed happens because the gun is dirty thus the extractor is getting resistance which causes it to fail or the round is bad. Lastly is failure to eject which is caused by, again, a dirty gun which is causing resistance to the slide so it does not go all the way back and catches a casing while it is trying to exit or it can be caused by the shooter absorbing the force of the ignited gunpowder through their wrists. That is why if you are firing a pistol you need to lock your wrists so you don't absorb any force and the gun cycles properly. The shooter absorbing the force is the number 1 reason semi auto pistols jam. If we take a look at a revolver it does not have a slide like a semi auto pistol. Thus its cant fail to eject, and while you could argue that it could fail to feed if the cylinder does not rotate, it is a very simple mechanism compared to the slide of a semi auto and a failure to feed is very unlikely. So all we are really left to get a jam on a revolver is a failure to fire. I would say it could jam if the gun was in very poor condition or there is a chance that crafted ammo are duds. Sorry for the lecture but I just wanted to explain that revolvers are popular as side arms and conceded carries because it takes a jam right out of the equation. They are simple reliable firearms that if maintained are guaranteed to fire a bullet when you pull the trigger.

Hello Everyone! I am new to the forum but have played the long dark for a while. When I get a big kill I have gotten into the habit of placing the large quantity of raw meat outside my current shelter. I am not sure if this actually decreases the rot/wear on it but I think it would be a cool feature if it did. More importantly to go with this feature is I think the surrounding wildlife should steal/eat any meat I leave outside to last longer. If there are wolves around my home and I leave out 10 moose steaks I think the next morning I should have maybe 7 and some wolf tracks to show a sneaky wolf got into my stash. The bigger the predator or more there are around you, the more meat is gone.
