We need to comission some art to commemorate all the times Zak has gotten within inches from death yet escaped. This version of Astrid is becoming a living legend at this point
1% of health left and just like "ehh no problem, lets fish, grab a stick, ohh its a blizzard" Talk about almost ending 500 day run. How close this game can just punish you for one wrong move.
Hey Zak, it’s totally worth it to sacrifice some fish to make bait. Fish caught with bait are dramatically larger than fish caught without bait, so you get a lot more calories and oil for every fish. I usually cut up the first bass, burbot, or salmon I catch as they have the best yield of bait, then I fish until I run out of bait, but the fish size increase is substantial
I was today years old when I realized that my “custom interloper” run was not counting towards any feat progress. I’m almost 200 days in, and I firmly believed that I was making progress in those feats. The only difference between my “custom interloper” and regular interloper is that the spawns of items are high, and the revolver and rifle can spawn. Other then that, everything is interloper difficulty.
You really are the definition of laid back and "Don't stress, it's just a scratch" while you allow death to breath down your neck. Keep up the wonderful content and congrats to you and your wife! Wishing the best for you in the New Year Zak !
I've been finding Quonset to be an incredibly fun base to stay at this new update. You can't get a more convenient base for the trader, and you have a whole empty garage to customize. There's lots of wood nearby to build furniture, and there's lots of nearby houses to steal rugs and other decorations from for extra coziness. It has actually stolen my heart from Camp office and PV farmhouse. Plus it's really bright in there during an aurora. Brand new #1 S-tier Oh, and it's a coastal base so you never run out of salt for the curing box either, even if the trader didn't exist
I had scurvy risk recently as well as parasites, also in Mystery Lake. It really helps to have multiple tip ups just outside a fishing hut. That way you can let them them fish for themselves, grab periodic naps, and periodically clear the holes, whilst keeping warm from the fire. Cured them both, then died later after deciding to 'check out bleak inlet'.
Zak, you’re absolutely brilliant! The way you play, interact with us, and stay so genuine makes your videos amazing. This is your journey, and we’re just lucky to be along for the ride-no matter what, as long as you’re having fun, that matters most :)
It's times like this that I'm reminded by the game that, no matter how comfy you think you are, no matter how safe you think you might be, or geared and kitted out you've gotten, a wolf or two can completely ruin your day.
Hey Zak, food for thought... when traveling long distances moving gear.. wielding dual travois is a great strategy.. saves a lot of time and walking... let me explain.. you're loaded up dragging through the transfer pass.. you hit the rail car in the tunnel.. you have to empty the travois and drop a bunch of stuff on the ground.. pick the travois, and walk the pinch to the other side, drop the sled and go back, pick up each item one at a time. and then the walk, load up and go...... with 2 you leave the first one at the pinch, take what you can carry, run the pinch, drop the second travois, load up , run back, quickly transfer the leftovers, pick up sled 1 and run the pinch.. load up and go... saves a lot of clicking of the mouse.. as well.. 2 travois is twice the distance you can travel before needing repairs... cheers
As someone who's died at least once sleeping through an infection I don't know how you survived that! To be honest, it was quite nice seeing you play a little flustered (by your standards anyway!) - i.e. going after the birch bark on such low health when you didn't really need to. But made for an interesting watch!
About batteries. My voyager survivor was sent back to BlackRock prison to retrieve bulletproof vest. This piece of equipment seems to have use now since the cougar is in play. Found it and notices 6 new car batteries in the prison. Together with 3 on the way he pulled out from cars earlier.
I was really expecting a calmer relaxed episode, with fishing, sitting by the campfire, listening to stories, maybe working on the base. I was not expecting you to be fighting for your life multiple times. Really shows how things can turn quickly in this game, it's what makes it such an amazing and exciting game as well, anything can happen! And it also shows how even the best of us, like you Zak who is a master of this game, almost died because of the most basic, but human mistake; forgetting/not paying attention. You got the parasites because you ate the wrong meat, you got the infection because you forgot about it. Not to call you out, really I just mean to say it's so quick to happen, any of us could have made that mistake. It's these mistakes that cost us so much, yet they appear to be so small, just a slight change of focus and it is done. But anyway, you handled it all great as usual, keep up the good work and vids, and keep surviving! Btw Zak, the Infection affliction does not prevent healing, it just makes you take 5% condition loss every hour, and coupled with your Scurvy which is 0.5% condition loss per hour. So it was a battle of healing from sleeping, and losing condition from your afflictions.
Recovering from a near death condition is one of the most exciting part of the game, but I never want to do it in my own run (although I occasionally have to do it after my mistakes). So I appreciate your video showing such a spectacle!
Zac every second episode after nearly dying again "Wow that was too close, we're going to be more careful from now on so this doesnt happen again!" Fool me once, I dont believe it anymore 😂
I actually sat down to start seriously customizing Camp Office as a base last night and so far have used 26 cedar and 62 fir, (including the wood for the furniture workbench and the meat curing box) and I still have a few pieces of furniture I want. I'm in Pilgrim so cutting wood is easy but extensive redecorating will be a challenge in Interloper to be sure! It's funny that before I thought nothing of leaving piles of stuff around, but now that I've got the place fixed up a bit I feel like the piles of intestines on the floor really kills the vibe...
Almost lost my run do to looking at the view in PV from the signal tower. It was beautiful clear day I could see the farm house in the distance and got too close to the edge. Got to a point where I couldn't get back up, fell twice and had to limp my way to said farm house. Then there's Zak getting to one percent and just says "I'll be fine".
Wouldn't have used the burdock for teas. Those are the limiting factor for Preppers Pies which give 25% condition. I always carry one of those with me once I found the recipe.
I yelled at phone like crazy: "Dont forget cure infection risk" haha but everything ended good. Also congrats on healing scurvy that damn affliction deal ,i think, about 0.5% healt damage and reduce your carrying capacity by 5 kg.
I like to watch your videos before bed as a way to ease into sleep. Looks like the anxiety I got from watching you casually balance at 1% health will keep me up all night, thanks.. haha
I’m pretty sure that when you heal scurvy then your vitamin C meter resets at maximum vitamin C. Basically Vitamin C is a 500 point system. When you get to 100 Vitamin C left then Scurvy Risk starts and you get Scurvy if you hit 0 Vitamin C. When you heal the scurvy affliction then the system resets at a full 500 points of vitamin C.
My furniture workbench completely vanished from inside Camp Office in my main run. Ironically, while i was out getting wood to make other things. You'll have to work so hard for the wood on interloper, so I really hope yours is more permanent!!
To be honest, I am quite surprised at how unprepared you were in this episode! One mistake (the wolf attack) is not enough to kill you, but once the mistake is followed by another one (the blizzard stroll), that is actually risking the whole run you got going. Not to mention the other mistakes! Nonetheless, you have made it through, well played, but I was nervous just watching you balancing on the edge of death for a long time.
Thank you - I didnt feel I made any mistakes this video, except forgetting about the infection. They were rather questionable decisions :) hubris, I suppose.
@@Zaknafein you have to admit continuing on to camp office after the wolf struggle is very greedy instead of just turning back to trappers and healing up
@@Zaknafein At 1:00:24 Zak seems to think there was at least one! I would have done basically the same since I play like Zak does Edit: i am bad at youtube comments sorry
Thanks for all you do ..i killed a cougar after watching your "science" on it.Though I did get lacerations. That was fun! Your videos are very helpful and enjoyable. I noticed you had like 75 percent infection risk when you went to sleep..what a survivor you are! "You'll be fine Astrid, its nothing"😄
Politely waiting for the new episode *refreshing zak’s channel few times a day*. Man i could watch an episode every day between my gaming session in this game haha.
Really got into this game because of You and your videos and I’ve learned a lot from them. When a new video pops up, im just really happy i got another hour+ material to Watch and relax myself haha. Take care!!!
I always try to have pelt/hides in different buildings, you never know when you're going to get stuck by a blizzard or a bear mauling and want something to do while waiting. I would have definitely come back to trapper after such a brutal wolf attack, and the blizzard... You really need a cougar knife for defense ! That episode really had too much red lining !!! I hope you secretly have back up saves, that would have been awful to end the run because of an infection... or maybe you'll have cheated death. That would have hopefully cured the scurvy and parasites. 48:25 you may want to keep some green birch sapling for the new trader bow. 58:11 That lockbox was empty for me, not sure if I was too late and the item decayed or if it's always empty. Looks like you recorded some time ago, the trader now want only 1 battery for these trades (or maybe it's because you took that trade earlier ? In that case, you should not complete that trade, only the other items and retake the recipe trade.) 1:10:00 The small fish don't give vitamin C :(
@@Zaknafein You don't have to cancel the trade, just validate one of the other object in the trade and retake the battery trade another time. And if I understand correctly the reputation system, you just have to make another trade to increase it, you just need 5 trades to start the quest, and can do several on the same night if you're fast enough and you have the trade items ready (raw food > 50% condition and water are the easiest)
I have different method how to fish in TLD. I set my timer to 2 hours and cancel the fishing after first fish is caught. I believe it will maximize the odds of catching fish.
Zak, you have said in many videos that you are cutting it too close in hindsight. This run has been filled with so many close calls and its not even close to 500 days. Please be more carefull.
I hope your backing up your saves often. There is a bug in the game that can reset EVERYTHING (the scene, skills, inventory, ect). Vanilla doesnt see it very often though.
After the recovery you mentioned a hypothesis about what happened, which was erroneous. You were incredibly lucky to live through that first sleep. You gained just enough health while still in the infection risk stage to counteract the loss incurred by the infection. I think even a few more minutes of sleep and the condition loss from the infection would have killed you. Your hypothesis that infection prevents condition recovery is not correct, you just hit a perfect balance!
If you're gonna to trader stuff, then you should know a few things beforehand; Stock up on batteries, both kinds of firewood, Ptarmigan down, and a lot of oil. (DO NOT USE JERRY CANS YOU WONT GET THEM BACK) Batteries have been added to various locations to use for trade. I found a bunch in Hibernia and Blackrock.
I can say this, you won't have to worry about scurvy once you head to Costal to do trades, You need lamp oil for a lot of his trades so I greatly underestimated how much fish I need to make .79 gals of oil I fish for 20 plus hours nearly filled up the Travois like 128 pounds and it wasn't enough, so I fished for like 3 to 4 days straight, only sleeping when I started to lose health filled the Travois to almost max weight two more times and I ended up with more oil than I needed, like I have enough to do one or two more trades, but I cooked like nearly 500 pounds of fish give or take and because the coast is mildly bug right now with beach combing like you click one fish and there's three more type of bug so I got extra fish lol, level my cooking from 1 to 4 and fishing is now at three but I play on Pilgrim so I didn't have to worry to much about being cold, so for you I would say stalk up on wood and coal and keep the fire hot I made four campfires around my base to cook all the fish which took a day its self lol
That’s a thing I found a little bit unbalanced at the moment. It becomes likely a fishing simulator at the moment. My last run i spend the first 100 days more or less completely in CH and DP for trading and Scurvey reasons… fish are to heavy to carry around. Some regions are impossible to fish (AC, BRR, Milton, HRV) so I completely avoided them…
@@AmplifyChrisChecking to make sure you know that you can actually fish in all those places you said were impossible. You can make your own fishing hole anywhere the water is deep enough, you just won't have the luxury of a building surrounding you. Monolith lake in HRV, the pond below the hunting lodge in BRR, Milton basin in MT, and the river outside Angler's Den in AC are fishable. Harder maybe, but not impossible.
Talk about cutting it close... Let's see now. Maybe 2 or 3 more lives of 9 left. I admire your confidence in playing this game and appreciate you pushing it to the very edge. Makes it so much more fun to watch while on the edge of our seats. I would say your main mistake was taking too long to pick weapon to fight off wolf attack which caused severe damaged to health. Yes, it was a surprise attack which is not too common in the game. The other mistakes were just adding to the drama. Overall it was an excellent video. Just try not to get killed playing like this.
I agree about the optimization point. Yes, I want to be efficient but I’m not going to worry about every single thing until the game is no longer fun to play.
Started watching this series a few days ago, the first videos etc because I was getting back into the long dark and I assumed this series had been finished quite awhile ago. Zak however had other plans
1:13:55 actually I wonder, if you had slept 10 hours instead of 8, would the two extra hours have given you 1% condition each, or 5% condition each as is they were regular 9th and 10th hour of healthy sleep? And the -5kg carry penalty you noticed at the beginning is from scurvy. Scurvy, the gift that keeps on giving!
Instead of fishing, how come you didn’t make any food? For example; the dockworkers pie, porridge, Thompson family stew and lilys pancakes all have a moderate or major amount of vitamin c. Even pies like the peach pie and rose hip pie have a decent amount of vitamin c
Note about the lamp oil for the trader. He will accept the little canisters or the Jerry cans. I've given him both, and it works. You just loose the Jerry can.
Question for the community. My old computer died awhile back, new one is arriving today. Luckily I have a cloud based back up on my old C drive. What is the best way to retrieve my old games. I see two folders called, TheLongDark and TheLongDarkNoSync. Can I just download and place those files in my new computer?
Yep, a good method is to install the game, start a new run so the game makes it's folders for you in %appdata% and then copy both those folders over to the newly created Hinterland folder (say yes if it asks to overwrite the useless save you made)
@rubeushagrid4077 that is exactly what happened once I downloaded. I went in to follow @sagebrushrepair suggestion and all my old games were there! Had the absolute “pleasure” to find my character in Omega Bunker and dragging all my loot back to home base in ML :)
I havent watched the whole video yet to see what you are about to do but....how about leaving Trappers in a somewhatt virgin state and leaving your non IL gear there and other unique items like a museum?😊
It feels like the first part of the video (I am 17 min into it, as of writing) suffered from lag. I don't know if it's on your system, the game or the uploading, but there are moments where it just feels off.
@@Zaknafein The lag kept occuring, I checked the video on both the laptops and the "rig". There should be connection issue with the internet. Perhaps it's just me, I hope so. Cheers, and I look forward to the next video. Denmark #1
Am I the only one who has started fast-forwarding to the end to make sure he makes it to the end of the video before I start watching? Greatly reduces my anxiety while watching. :-)
17:50 Astrid is dramatically perishing from hypothermia and scurvy. Zak: why is the workbench not aligned. Classic.
We need to comission some art to commemorate all the times Zak has gotten within inches from death yet escaped. This version of Astrid is becoming a living legend at this point
I could do it, if somebody would write me all the near death moments - I remember some of them, but not the episodes sadly
Spoiler: A near death highlight reel is on the way :)
1% of health left and just like "ehh no problem, lets fish, grab a stick, ohh its a blizzard" Talk about almost ending 500 day run. How close this game can just punish you for one wrong move.
Great comment! I panic all the time on my ~200 day stalker run and whenever I'm in trouble I am myself "what would Zak do right now!"
Zak just has the confidence of a guy who has done this plenty of times before
Hey Zak, it’s totally worth it to sacrifice some fish to make bait. Fish caught with bait are dramatically larger than fish caught without bait, so you get a lot more calories and oil for every fish. I usually cut up the first bass, burbot, or salmon I catch as they have the best yield of bait, then I fish until I run out of bait, but the fish size increase is substantial
Remember to spray paint that bed because you almost died in it!
I was today years old when I realized that my “custom interloper” run was not counting towards any feat progress. I’m almost 200 days in, and I firmly believed that I was making progress in those feats.
The only difference between my “custom interloper” and regular interloper is that the spawns of items are high, and the revolver and rifle can spawn. Other then that, everything is interloper difficulty.
You really are the definition of laid back and "Don't stress, it's just a scratch" while you allow death to breath down your neck. Keep up the wonderful content and congrats to you and your wife! Wishing the best for you in the New Year Zak !
Thank you so much!
I've been finding Quonset to be an incredibly fun base to stay at this new update. You can't get a more convenient base for the trader, and you have a whole empty garage to customize. There's lots of wood nearby to build furniture, and there's lots of nearby houses to steal rugs and other decorations from for extra coziness. It has actually stolen my heart from Camp office and PV farmhouse. Plus it's really bright in there during an aurora. Brand new #1 S-tier
Oh, and it's a coastal base so you never run out of salt for the curing box either, even if the trader didn't exist
Really the ONLY downside is no ptarmigan spawns in the region. That’s it. CH is a perfect home base region otherwise.
I had scurvy risk recently as well as parasites, also in Mystery Lake. It really helps to have multiple tip ups just outside a fishing hut. That way you can let them them fish for themselves, grab periodic naps, and periodically clear the holes, whilst keeping warm from the fire. Cured them both, then died later after deciding to 'check out bleak inlet'.
Zak, you’re absolutely brilliant! The way you play, interact with us, and stay so genuine makes your videos amazing. This is your journey, and we’re just lucky to be along for the ride-no matter what, as long as you’re having fun, that matters most :)

Hey Zak, food for thought... when traveling long distances moving gear.. wielding dual travois is a great strategy.. saves a lot of time and walking... let me explain.. you're loaded up dragging through the transfer pass.. you hit the rail car in the tunnel.. you have to empty the travois and drop a bunch of stuff on the ground.. pick the travois, and walk the pinch to the other side, drop the sled and go back, pick up each item one at a time. and then the walk, load up and go...... with 2 you leave the first one at the pinch, take what you can carry, run the pinch, drop the second travois, load up , run back, quickly transfer the leftovers, pick up sled 1 and run the pinch.. load up and go... saves a lot of clicking of the mouse.. as well.. 2 travois is twice the distance you can travel before needing repairs... cheers
These last couple of episodes have become an anxiety simulator for me
A wise man once said "As long as you are alive, you are not playing it wrong." Learn it. Know it. Live it.
As someone who's died at least once sleeping through an infection I don't know how you survived that!

The Dam is not juste a dam, it's also a scarp metal mine.
But instead of a pickaxe you just need a hacksaw, a bedroll, water and food. 😄

Love your stuff man!

Some very close calls! I don't think I would have made it out of those situations, certainly not as calmly. Well done as always 😁
Zak, you have said in many videos that you are cutting it too close in hindsight. This run has been filled with so many close calls and its not even close to 500 days.
Please be more carefull.
Once one gets scurvy one has to fully refill the vitamin c "buffer" before it is cured.
HOW ARE YOU SO CALMM AT THAT LOW OF A CONDITION?? My hearts starts going crazy after one wolf attack!
'Cause, he probably gives a crap - alone the way of playing, one can tell; so ambitionless
Such calm in the face of utter catastrophe 😂
This is probably the best episode so far. 🙇♀️
7:39 "because on interloper is often cold" the understatement of the year.
Thanks!
I feel you, at day 250 and after surviving with flying colors in the Far Teritory I got attacked entering Mistery Lake… 😅
Nothing to say, still impressed of your coolness. ;-) At 25% Health i am in a panic-mode.
I hope your backing up your saves often. There is a bug in the game that can reset EVERYTHING (the scene, skills, inventory, ect). Vanilla doesnt see it very often though.
After the recovery you mentioned a hypothesis about what happened, which was erroneous. You were incredibly lucky to live through that first sleep. You gained just enough health while still in the infection risk stage to counteract the loss incurred by the infection. I think even a few more minutes of sleep and the condition loss from the infection would have killed you. Your hypothesis that infection prevents condition recovery is not correct, you just hit a perfect balance!
Good to know, thanks!

You need lamp oil for a lot of his trades so I greatly underestimated how much fish I need to make .79 gals of oil
I fish for 20 plus hours nearly filled up the Travois like 128 pounds and it wasn't enough, so I fished for like 3 to 4 days straight, only sleeping when I started to lose health filled the Travois to almost max weight two more times and I ended up with more oil than I needed, like I have enough to do one or two more trades, but I cooked like nearly 500 pounds of fish give or take and because the coast is mildly bug right now with beach combing like you click one fish and there's three more type of bug so I got extra fish lol, level my cooking from 1 to 4 and fishing is now at three
but I play on Pilgrim so I didn't have to worry to much about being cold, so for you I would say stalk up on wood and coal and keep the fire hot
I made four campfires around my base to cook all the fish which took a day its self lol
That’s a thing I found a little bit unbalanced at the moment. It becomes likely a fishing simulator at the moment.
My last run i spend the first 100 days more or less completely in CH and DP for trading and Scurvey reasons… fish are to heavy to carry around. Some regions are impossible to fish (AC, BRR, Milton, HRV) so I completely avoided them…
@@AmplifyChrisChecking to make sure you know that you can actually fish in all those places you said were impossible. You can make your own fishing hole anywhere the water is deep enough, you just won't have the luxury of a building surrounding you. Monolith lake in HRV, the pond below the hunting lodge in BRR, Milton basin in MT, and the river outside Angler's Den in AC are fishable. Harder maybe, but not impossible.
Heh thinking you should be wearing the ballistic vest more
Talk about cutting it close... Let's see now. Maybe 2 or 3 more lives of 9 left. I admire your confidence in playing this game and appreciate you pushing it to the very edge. Makes it so much more fun to watch while on the edge of our seats. I would say your main mistake was taking too long to pick weapon to fight off wolf attack which caused severe damaged to health. Yes, it was a surprise attack which is not too common in the game. The other mistakes were just adding to the drama. Overall it was an excellent video. Just try not to get killed playing like this.
Thank you so much for the comment and the super!
I agree about the optimization point. Yes, I want to be efficient but I’m not going to worry about every single thing until the game is no longer fun to play.
Exactly :)
Play it like you are living it and want some quality of life.
Started watching this series a few days ago, the first videos etc because I was getting back into the long dark and I assumed this series had been finished quite awhile ago.
Zak however had other plans
Lol nah you might be right. Seems like zak is SPEEDRUNNING death in this game
The lost carry weight you were mentioning early on in the episode is I'm pretty sure one of the effects of scurvy, not the parasites
1:13:55 actually I wonder, if you had slept 10 hours instead of 8, would the two extra hours have given you 1% condition each, or 5% condition each as is they were regular 9th and 10th hour of healthy sleep?
And the -5kg carry penalty you noticed at the beginning is from scurvy. Scurvy, the gift that keeps on giving!
Instead of fishing, how come you didn’t make any food? For example; the dockworkers pie, porridge, Thompson family stew and lilys pancakes all have a moderate or major amount of vitamin c. Even pies like the peach pie and rose hip pie have a decent amount of vitamin c
As crazy as this was to watch it was very entertaining haha
I was holding my breath! Those blurry, prism looking edges and staggering. Yikes!
Wow what an ep that infection was a bit careless but makes for entertainment i thought it was going to be over when you went to bed
Don't forget to mark your base as another "near death"
Dla zasięgów 💪💪
I've been playing a custom interloper run with scurvy turned off and the new update turned scurvy back on and gave me scurvy upon loading up the game.
28:44 yep, cheat death has dramatically changed the game.
wow, that was so close 🙈 ver nice video - as always 🙂 I hope they are not removing the lights, they never worked on xbox yet 😐
One of my best runs was ended because I forgot about an infection and died in my sleep.
Note about the lamp oil for the trader. He will accept the little canisters or the Jerry cans. I've given him both, and it works. You just loose the Jerry can.
loosing a jerry can is not an option 😅🤣
I'm on stalker, so I have like a dozen. @@morlin1237
@@morlin1237Jerry cans are precious! No trader gets my precious green trophies
When I did it you couldn’t trade the Jerry can fuel, is that updated?
Maybe it was low condition? I got the impression the trader does not accept anything below 50%
Could be wrong.
Me seeing the title: that sounds like a chill episode
Me watching the episode: 😨🫣
This one sure had a lot of tension!
On the brink of death "Lets go fishing". As if that is some thing a rational person would do.
Omg. Hell of a ride.
Start piling up lantern fuel and wood near the drop box so it’s right there when you need it for trades
What a thrilling episode!
I lost a 348 day stalker run. I watch these videos to give me hope to start a new run 😂😅
Thanks for videos
the vanishing safe.....
An excellent mystery for Nancy Drew
Question for the community. My old computer died awhile back, new one is arriving today. Luckily I have a cloud based back up on my old C drive.
What is the best way to retrieve my old games. I see two folders called, TheLongDark and TheLongDarkNoSync.
Can I just download and place those files in my new computer?
Yep, a good method is to install the game, start a new run so the game makes it's folders for you in %appdata% and then copy both those folders over to the newly created Hinterland folder (say yes if it asks to overwrite the useless save you made)
@ thank you so much TLD is truly the best gaming community!
If you got your game from Steam I think Steam cloud saves them automatically. I downloaded TLD on my laptop and my old saves from my pc were there
@rubeushagrid4077 that is exactly what happened once I downloaded. I went in to follow @sagebrushrepair suggestion and all my old games were there!
Had the absolute “pleasure” to find my character in Omega Bunker and dragging all my loot back to home base in ML :)
Wouldn't drinking rose hip tea help cure the scurvy? It's a good source of vitamin C.
Yes it helps too
Hay Zak, do you think you could play the winter mute on your channel when episode 5 comes out.
Yes this is in the works, just taking a while
Wow you had like 1 hp there. How were you this calm I'd immediately use the stim :)
Edit: Ok he DID use the stim.
Zak on 1% health..
Casually normal on zak 😂😂
While me on panic mode 😂😂😂😂
Veteran guys veteran hahahah
now that we have preserved meat can we get rid of eating rancid ruined meat, that also seamed weird for me
I havent watched the whole video yet to see what you are about to do but....how about leaving Trappers in a somewhatt virgin state and leaving your non IL gear there and other unique items like a museum?😊
Not a bad idea :)
i think you should try to use fishing bait to increase the weight of fish
is the bed in trappers still magic
can you make updated interloper tutorials on places like ash canyon and Timberwolf mountain since they changed a lot of the spawns and loot tables?
Yes, will do for all regions, once I have properly learned the animal spawns
1:18:41 ???? Is there a teapot on the counter between the newspapers ? What is that ?
I moved it from another base
@@Zaknafein i am at the day 770 at interlooper (thanks to you:) but never seen one of these. I think i didnt pay attention..
I think vitamin supplements should be a thing. They already have pain meds and antibiotics.
Trader gives vitamin c pills
52:38 why not sleep in the cave in ravine to not get cabin fever?
Because it wasnt necessary as fishing is so much outdoors
Hey man since update many good spot changed will you do a tier list ? like regions and new base spots
29:19 Your life was hanging on a hair. This is too scary to watch! Everyone in the comments is angry with you!
Hehe. It was under control. Remember - Always an Out.
@@Zaknafeinyeah - until there isn't. 😉
Have you noticed there’s no extra carrying capacity by wearing both the belt and the satchel? Or was it just me?
It works. The belt works like the rifle holster - it doesnt add capacity but reduces the weight of tools in your inventory.
@Zaknafein that is so good to know, thank you!
It feels like the first part of the video (I am 17 min into it, as of writing) suffered from lag. I don't know if it's on your system, the game or the uploading, but there are moments where it just feels off.
Strange, I cant see anything myself and havent heard anyone else comment on it. Will keep it in mind, though.
@@Zaknafein I will restart my router. And pc, if I notice a change I will write it here.
@@Zaknafein The lag kept occuring, I checked the video on both the laptops and the "rig". There should be connection issue with the internet.
Perhaps it's just me, I hope so.
Cheers, and I look forward to the next video.
Denmark #1
Am I the only one who has started fast-forwarding to the end to make sure he makes it to the end of the video before I start watching? Greatly reduces my anxiety while watching. :-)
Was that generic? I seen the hesitation with the mouse. Understandable if it wasn't. But if it was, why didn't you use the dressing? LOL
Dressing? What do you mean?
@Zaknafein I shortened 'Old Man's Beard Wound Dressing' to one word.
