Game Journalism Day 2 - SURVIVE

1. The challenge is still the same challenge. Travel to the Summit of Timberwolf Mountain to retrieve the Distress Pistol before then traveling up to the top of Desolation Point Lighthouse.

2. I walked from the Oil Building all the way through the winding ice ways, until I came to two forks, and both times I went left. The last fork led me to a snowy path which then led me straight into a cave. Wandering through this cave I noticed that my Fatigue bar was pretty low, as well as my hunger and thirst. So I stopped and set up a fire, cooking the meat I'd grabbed from a frozen deer and a cup of coffee. I drank the coffee as well as ate an energy bar and some jerky(I like to save the meat for when I desperately need it. Lots of nutrients). I then put enough wood to make it last 2 hours and a bit, slept 2 hours, put more wood on the fire, ate a bit more so I wouldn't starve in my sleep, and went back to sleep for three hours. I spent the rest of the fire melting .50 liters of snow, and then purifying the same .50 until the fire ran out. I then lit my lantern again and continued out of the cave, eventually finding my way out. I then headed down this path with snow drifts on either side, and encountered two wolves wandering around. I almost snuck around them but one ended up seeing me and gave chase. I pulled out my pebbles and threw two before it got scared off. My backpack is too heavy to run so when it stopped being scared it was still within range to spot me again so it came right back. I threw my last pebble but I missed by just a small bit and the wolf attacked me. I started fighting it with the hatchet and the wolf took off. I tried to escape then, but not fast enough for his friend not to spot me. I just kept walking away from it as fast as I could and checking back on it. I would hear it bark and eventually, it stopped barking. I turned around and it had left me alone so I ran a bit more with my bitten ankle before actually taking pain killers for it. I had a couple snacks too including a nice big cooked piece of venison. After drinking some water to finish off my num-num session, I continued down the path and eventually found a store and a lil' house.

I just happened to be running out of food so the store stash saved me. I took everything I could including breaking down some crates for fire wood. I then slept and tried to keep my temperature in the house. By the time I woke up there was daylight... And a snow storm. Gentle though so it wasn't a problem. I retraced my steps all the way back to the fork in the road and instead went left. That led me to the farm I am at right now. I checked the little car at the front and then a bunny scared me. I thought it was a wolf and I was worried I'd be trapped in some small car. I then wandered all the way across the field and to the barn.

Currently I have just placed my bed roll just to save and things are looking good. For survival. I'm not sure I'll have enough time to actually get to Timberwolf, get the Distress Pistol, and traverse the snowy hills and icey lakes to make it to the top of the lighthouse. 

3. Charcoal is actually kind of interesting, although it may be useless depending on how you're playing the game. You can use charcoal to chart your surroundings, like I've done below. it even shows you interesting things like wood or moss apparently. 

4. Always empty out medical kits. Take everything. You never know when your character may slip or trip and sprain your ankle or wrist. And the emergency stim gives you a boost of energy and fatigue, meaning you can run or climb much easier. And pebbles. Flares can scare away animals, but aren't as common to find as Stones. You can pick them up pretty much anywhere and they scare off smaller animals like wolves just as nicely.
