Today in #TheLongDark I decided to explore around the farmhouse. I was able to find a rifle, some bullets and a deer carcass. The rifle will be especially handy since I left my other rifle in my safehouse in Coastal Highway, and there are cougars and bears about in this region.
On the way home, I ran into a blizzard, which lasted for longer that I would have liked. I had to limp back home in darkness after it ended with a wolf on my tail.
Today in #TheLongDark I explored the Farmhouse in Pleasant Valley. As expected it was full of loot. I also appreciated that it has a large stove and a workbench, which makes it a better HQ than the Community Hall in Thompson's crossing.
I need to decide whether or not I should go through the trouble of moving all my gear to this house, or if I should just maintain two safe houses in this region.
Lots more exploring left to do in this area, so I may just keep both.
Today in #TheLongDark, I spent some more time exploring Pleasant Valley, concentrating on some caves near the community hall safe house that I setup. Didn't find much of anything, so it was kind of boring. At one point I did get a bit too close to the cougar territory, and I thought I heard some new sounds.... which made me quickly change course and head back home.
I'm feeling like I need a bit of a change of pace, so I may play through the single player episodes for a while.
I decided to explore the ice cave near Lonely Cave. I found the remnants of a campfire, a backpack and a sleeping bag as soon as I climbed down the rope.
As I was checking that stuff out, a wolf showed up from the tunnel. Luckily I was still carrying my revolver, I hit it once and it ran back to the tunnel. I followed it and when it turned back to attack me, I took it down with a second shot.
I say "cheated" because technically you could only walk down that slope. But with the Jump mod, you can actually go up.
I reckon, in real life, it should be totally possible to climb that, so in my head it's not really cheating 😁
🗓️ Day 106
🥾 I temporarily left Milton and headed to Hushed River Valley. Once I got there, I "cheated" my way up the slope and explored the SE part of the map.
🛖 Near the Lonely Cave I stumbled upon a Prepper Cache and settled there. The loot was plentiful. Lots of food, one revolver, one rifle and several boxes of ammunition for both.
🎒 I will start carrying back some stuff to Mountain Town before continuing my exploration of HRV.
Today in #TheLongDark I explored the rest of the town near Thompson's crossing, which included a cool looking church. I also ventured out to the barn and brought its loot back to my community hall safehouse.
Nothing really notable in today's haul, a few bullets, random clothes and food.
I ran into a wolf on the way home and decided to give it a bit of a scare with my flare and a revolver shot, which hit its mark. The wolf ran off bleeding, I'll probably come across it later
Today in #TheLongDark I explored more of the town near Thompson's Crossing in Pleasant Valley, and setup shop in the community hall. I'm appreciating the ample storage and the six slot stove. I've also managed to find 3 pots and a pan, which will make cooking and melting/boiling water much easier!
Next time I plan on exploring the rest of the town and eventually heading over to the barn and farmhouse. I'll eventually have to decide where to make my safe house in the region.
