6:53 That's not correct. A bedroll only weighs 1kg, but the 15 sticks alone weigh 2.25kg, with another 0.5kg from the cloth. The 2.75kg is lighter than a bearskin bedroll, which I'm hoping is what you meant.

5:27 I actually suggest not waking with the morning sun. Dawn is the coldest part of the day, so unless you're playing on Voyageur or Pilgrim, you'll quickly get Hypothermia risk if you try to travel in the morning. Even on Voyageur, you'll be too cold if you don't have good clothing. I suggest that you not start traveling until the sun in the top right has completely cleared the "horizon", maybe even later. Otherwise you'll just end up having to stop somewhere to warm up anyway, which may cost you a match if you can't find shelter. Better for long-term resource conservation to start and end your days later.

I figured this out on my own, but I started with using books. I first thought to do this after spawning in Mountain Town and finding a ton of books in all of the houses. I'd start a fire with the book, pull out a torch, use that torch to start the next fire, then put it out and grab another torch. I did need 4 campfires from the start, but the +35% chance to start a fire, 20% higher than sticks, really cut down on the tedium in the earlier parts. By the time I ran out of books, I was already to level 3, which more than made up for the reduction in starting chance.

the timeline will not let it happend either way we fail one point in time 😅

Wity the updated trader it's now extremely easy to get lecel foce and the 1k fire badge. Matches can be traded \o/

Leading your shots with a gun doesn't really matter, they're all hitscan.

I’m wondering why you don’t have the option to salt meat, :/

Hilarious and exceedingly helpful guide, much obliged.

great video - very helpful :D

need an update

When I was new to this game, I would hoard antiseptic because I was paranoid about animal attacks. It's really not worth carrying more than one or two though, because they weigh so damn much. I also try to only carry around 1-3 gallons of water at a time. It's very easy to melt and boil more water, and it also weighs a lot. I also immediately drink any soda, coffee, or tea that I come across to stay hydrated and keep my weight down. Similarly, I only ever carry two cans for boiling water and don't bother with hauling around the bigger pots.

My first two games, I only used the rifle. Constantly struggled with carry weight. My current game I'm using the bow and while it took a very very long time to be able to crouch and shoot, it was so worth the wait & weight. I prefer the two cans, cause you can usually find a cooking pot in each zone. Granted, I do play on the lowest difficulties..

so helpful even after all these years, will be practicing this later tonight. love the delivery of the video !

I might make this but with an auto-crafting system for stone bricks

Okay boomer...

"The Defiant was designed with one sole purpose in mind: to fight and defeat The Borg!" Borg defeated: 0 😂😂 No, Sisko IS the man though 💯🖖

Failed to start 9 times?! 85% chance my ass

How TF do you cook reishi tea

Multiplayer in arid would be great

useless

Thanks for the guide. Pretty much the system i developed mysef. Except i take less matches, no lantern and some food

Great thought

Lit torch is not 100% firestarter anymore and without the fire lvl perk you waste tinder each fail.

Some of hte considerations listed here I think support my outpost method of base stocking. I dislike centralizing all loot, unless a region has been exhausted of all resources and I've determined it's not going to be a useful, fun, or worth the danger. I tend to scatter small batches of matches, water, fuel, and a can or two of calories around the map, in case I get lost in a blizzard, barely survive a mauling, or other event, far from my central outposts. A lot of tools though you can usually leave in a base though, where you know you'll be returning, where you know where it is. Like the pryba isn't as useful once you've cracked open every single locker and trunk from the Lighthouse to the Far Territory. But is it an item you'll want to move to fishing huts, as it can serve out it's remaining durability chipping open the ice hole for your cabin fever burn off. Etc.

Epic video

they don’t react to non open flames like stoves or fireplaces i think, its more like camp fires and fire barrels they are scared of

extremly sad story

I was sat here cooking a potato listening to you on the long dark got really confused on what game I was playing I felt I was playing Fallout 3 listening to Wasteland radio with free dog😂 love it man keep up

Great video..thanks but could you make one that's REALLY beginner level...I have no earthly idea how I'd even get down to 30 in the mines! I thought I rocked it out getting to 5, lol!

It's about respecting the dead don't eat them and don't steal thier boots lmao

Thanks a Lot dude. Im currently on my 61 day in my 4th run on Stalker difficulty and spawned in Hushed River Valley, i managed to escape to Milton but i didn't wanted to move on without mapping and looting everything from Hushed River Valley so i prepared myself to go back there. I was missing just one location and this helped me a lot and it will help me in the future.

In Misery/Interloper trunks of cars and locked lockers are likely to have nothing except for the safe. You don't need the prybar for the safe anyway so long as you have the hacksaw you don't need the prybar. The hacksaw being used to take burdock. Only real use for the prybar in Interloper/Misery is to pop open the entrance to the Orca gas station in Mountain Town.

Something you didn't mention which is very important and even more so in Misery/Interloper. Leave stuff behind in safehouses you know you will backtrack to. Lot of the game is about planning ahead. If you know you will come back this way leave stuff behind there to lessen the load. In fact preparing safehouses should be part of the fun. I would use the Camp Office as a main hub to leave things behind while I went to explore Forlorn, Railrload and Mountain Town.

Only use the bear bedroll if you know you can repair it. If you downed a bear and curing the hide and you don't need ot make a coat then go with the bear bedroll. Also only go with the bear roll if you're going on a long trip while you wait for the hide to cure back at home. There's also the improvised feather bedroll which is better thant he regular one and lighter than the bear roll. I would use that for shorter trips.

Only reason to carry a pot and skillet is if you're going to make the pie/stew/porridge recipes. I do have the recipes but I'm usually saving those special recipes for the limited flour, acorn, potatoes I have so most of the time I roam around with only two recycleable cans and leave the kitchenware in a safehouse that I will return to later where I also have the flour and other materials.

I remember way back when stacyplays was playing tld, she really loved dogs. I think she tried to leave out dog food for the wolves at least a couple times.

you said balls, is 12 noon, 13 hundred, thats' wrong it's midnight
