Getting the Technical Backpack & Crampons! -(The Long Dark s2e18)

[@lisaozenich]

Thanks for this video! I just started playing a few months ago, and I really wanted to make this journey but really wanted to see someone else do it from my starting point, which is the dam. I am just starting to leave my comfort zone. Thanks again!!

[@canadianobserver5552]

You always pass a floor Cabinet in the corner of the broken house going to the entrance of the mine...it's on the left, partially buried in snow...also, on the top where you deployed the rope, the far left has a slope of snow to shimmy down...gotta crouch but i never get injured going down...🥂✌🏻🇨🇦

[@michelleno6078]

When you were making the nuggets, I kept thinking that if you were able to put them into the pot with a couple of chopped up cat tails, crushed crackers, and a can of tomato soup, it would make a pretty decent stew. Unfortunately, the cooking mechanic in the game isn't that advanced.

[@sammerritt1686]

You put one toque in the cabinet in the dam,and after you went through the cave waterfall you put on the regular toque instead of the good. That's why you didn't have them both equipped

[@tonye9725]

I'm a late comer to TLD but I love your videos and IMHO your not angry just a little jaded😉 Keep up the good work !!!

[@TheSane182]

It was interesting watching you in a timelapse I liked the way you cut this one! Keep it up!

[@laserpoint4908]

Good episode - liked the speed sections for the one trip to Ash Canyon. You didn't put on the second wool toque after going through the water. In haste, you put on the ruined cotton toque. There doesn't seem to be a bug. Maybe harvest or drop the ruined one.

[@epaulanderson4621]

Yup, I think the cotton toque ruined while he was sleeping and that's what he heard breaking.

[@apocalypseman9824]

Always enjoy your videos. I do think that the Macinaw jacket is warmer than the ski jackets that you have on. Maybe by a extra degree and a bit more waterproof. Hope that you have a good day and a great weekend.

[@kurtmayhew895]

Mackinaw is the best coat you can get in interloper bar animal clothing.

[@cvombaur1835]

It’s more time to boil water in cans as a pot. A can is 25% of a pot, .13 gal per can and a pot is .52 gal. Cans take about 1 hour and 40 min to boil .52 gal and a pot takes 1 hour and 25 min to boil

[@morlin1237]

Don't forget to check for the bearskin coat and pick up the stim nearby

[@John-tx1wk]

When using the torch and rock trick with the wolves you need to wait until the wolf is closer to drop your torch. The wolf will stop moving toward you and will stand and growl at you. Then aim the rock, you don't have to throw it. There is no telling which way the wolf will run and he may turn and run in the same direction you're going which means he will quickly reset and you'll have to do the process over again. There is a chance as the wolf runs scared if he runs toward you and gets too close the attack animation/sequence will happen. Keep an eye on the wolf as it starts to run and be prepared to sidestep if it runs toward you.

[@Ozz72420]

Don't forget to fix your hacksaw

[@Picklelil]

Nice hustle to AC! To answer your questions: water in the pot is always quicker - The only advantage to cans is it's lighter than a pot to carry. And the Mackinaw jacket is the best jacket you can find in interloper. FYI for next time: Your speeded up sections music is a little quiet.

[@MyUsualMe]

Good to know!

[@Zugbarrh]

Im sure someone else has thought of this but you should be able to make sausage with the guts maybe - like you gotta use multiple meats and something else. Just a thought

[@kurtmayhew895]

There is quite a bit of possibility with different dishes that could be served.

[@faithfuldream]

I like the edits in this one :D

[@epaulanderson4621]

Fyi, You don't earn skill points for making gun powder, but you do for melting lead into bullets. Off topic I know, I meant to mention it a couple days ago.

[@oneofakind1114]

I don’t know if it’s different for Interloper but on Voyeguer you can go to Ash Canyon through the back way you would just have to go up 3 pretty long ropes to make it to the Gold Mine at least that’s the way I go it seems way more safer.

[@MyUsualMe]

JUST three ropes? I'm laughing right now. You're not wrong, but I need coffee to get up that Gauntlet of climbing. But you're not wrong. That is the way I'll be going in season 6.

[@applebuggie]

Ey Yo! I'm early! Ice been binging your videos as of late and I'm LOVING them!

[@teknoathens4698]

if you dont want to kill wolves to make a jacket, there are four wolf pelts that you can find. 1 in BI, 1 in AC, 1 in the bag in the medical building of Black rock, and 1 from the summit.

[@godtank8879]

I think guides or how too's are a great idea and beneficial to all of us, it could help your channel grow in the long dark algorithm and there's always a chance we'll learn something new.

[@DarkWolf-ei7sj]

52:22 actually you dont need to find rope becouse there is allways spawn of 3 ropes you are climbing up so if you take the third one you will have rope for mine ... then with climbing boots you simly just return up and put the rope back

[@nathanburgett1599]

Got a question. I'm sure there is a reason, I'm just not sure what it is. You pass time a lot. Which I know has benefits sometimes when you may need to stop. However, sleeping 1 hour uses half the calories and gets you some weight back from rest. So, why do you always pass time instead of sleep, when your warming up with nothing cooking? Thx

[@Fayreangel]

I’m going to go ahead and go ahead to head to Ash Canyon….eh?

[@sevrukgleb]

No rope near radio tower in pleasant Valley, where did you took it?

[@Gh0stGaminggz]

thanks for guidince, now i have them too

[@John-tx1wk]

Missed a guaranteed* interloper stim spawn. It's in between the spot where the bear coat can spawn and the cave where you dropped your coal. Maybe you'll see it on the return trip. * or as guaranteed as I can figure out. I've found on three of three interloper runs and have seen a good number of players find it.

[@marcgaudreau9979]

do I have to do something specific to found the back door?

[@nopqust]

1st comment yay!! Love your vids man!! Learnt so much about this game cos you and Zak

[@lydiavalentine3867]

Great video! I agree with the other commenter; not a big fan of the speeding up edits. I enjoy seeing the scenery and of course “Mackenzie’s” comments. 😅

[@ElSucio373]

So I have question. If you were to leave out the back of the mine and shimmy down one level, would you be able to then walk around to the front side of the mine and avoid having to climb up the rope to leave the way you came? Hope that made some bit of sense. Apologies if it didn’t.

[@MyUsualMe]

No it isn't that easy. I wish it was!

[@fight2keep]

Yes. Its easy if ya play that path Right

[@bendrake2226]

Hey, Usual! Always enjoy your videos, but not a fan of the speeded up traveling sections. One of the things I enjoy is your banter and the scenery of the game... I always like hearing your thought processes and humor, which I felt were lost. I know you're trying new things with the channel and I just wanted to give a little constructive criticism... Keep being you and I look forward to whatever changes you make!

[@lydiavalentine3867]

I agree.

[@Picklelil]

I prefer to have speeded up sections than cuts though. This way we still get to see the route etc. Especially if you are trying to learn from watching :) This video did feel quite instructional but that may have been on purpose.

[@sleepybalrog]

I agree, I too missed the Usual banter

[@zacharydonofrio7118]

Does passing time in your sleeping bag increase your warmth?

[@zacharydonofrio7118]

But if your like me you might leave it behind.

[@kevinstanley5352]

I got the technical backpack and after dying I lost it is that normal someone ple4ase answer this question

[@MyUsualMe]

The long Dark is a perma death game, so, yeah.

[@axinhedgelion8417]

22 is half of 44. You transferred 24 when you should’ve transferred 22

[@ODST88]

And if you don't know where the dam is well welcome to the game lol

[@idic7067]

💙

[@marcgaudreau9979]

patched??

[@Ozz72420]

You are wearing a black hat that's how your white and red hat wasn't on your head

[@vaylgar]

You cut the video in the dam showing how to get the back door I explored everywhere I could access and that back door doesnt exist for my game and you cut showing how you got there from front door and didnt say anything either? Wtf? I ask becuase I continued a my save game in wintemute mode which is I guess story mode. My save game is almost 4 years old and lots of patches have happened since and fixes and additions. I've looked at everyone's different videos and explanations on how to get to timberwolf mountain which leads to ash canyon which I cant get too in my game it's like my game doesnt have the areas and locations in all the newer videos. I'm really frustrated as I'm in episode 2 50+ % done every area cleaned out and cant find these areas I need to get too for the weight expansion which I need horribly bad.

[@MyUsualMe]

Look in the description of my new videos for the map links. I think that will help you a lot. If not, please comment again. I'll try to help you.

[@ThatCasualZach]

I think it is because you are only on episode 2. You haven't opened those areas maybe. Idk

[@BlueberryPiez]

I have a challenge It’s a stupid one. But I think if you could do it, I’d say you’re probably the best long dark player out there. But it’s basically an interloper playthrough. But the catch is. You have to carry a car battery the entire time. You can never drop it. Within 50 days you have to hit every section of the long dark world. You can use a bow, but your only allowed 3 arrows at a time. The end goal is to have a complete set of animal cloths. Deer skin pants, wolf skin coat rabbit skin cap and mittins. But your only allowed 1 kill of each animal in each section of the world. Dead animals don’t count toward the rule. The challenge ends in ash canyon where you get the technical backpack. Which you are not allowed to have during the challenge. If you can manage a moose hide pack at any time good on you, your allowed a knife and axe. The trial will start immediately after finding the battery. So day one starts after you find the battery so the longer you take to find it, the longer you have to survive before hand I’ll give you 100 bucks upon completion

[@BlueberryPiez]

If that’s literally impossible cause the wolf skin coat, do it on stalker, and if you can find a rifle, use that, but only for wolf kills

[@BlueberryPiez]

If you do it on stalker, I’ll give you 1 dollar for every day you survive after you find a car battery
