Agent Ann Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Someone should have warned me not to get too close to the fire. I was doing awesome, 19 days survived, tools, traps, I had everything. FFS..... What a stupid mistake on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Tarling Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I think all the long time players have done that at least once... twice... three times... Well, let's just say we don't do it as much anymore after being burned a few times :lol: Game has so many learning curves - big and small - which is why we love it so much 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wynarator Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I had my nice fireplace going, but I was still cold, so I took one step forward, one more to get warmer, maybe one more, one mo... damn, I'm on fire!Learning curves are awesome!

rosoto Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 If you burned to death then perhaps you could no longer feel anything, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike in GA Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I agree with @Bill Tarling. i set my fire up in CH at jackrabbit I think, cooked my food, boiled my water, I was tired enough to sleep all night, all was good In my effort to get as close to the fire and keep it shielded from the wind, I had no way to get out. No big deal I'm thinking.……wrong. They call me……bacon Good thing is you will remember a goodly long while and then forget or rush or whatever and cook yourself again.

Sirdoeboy01 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I almost got fried exploring the dam at night, i was about three steps away from wires when BAM Aurora, gave me quite the scare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrasador Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Two things I learned, never put a fire outside a door/entrance to a building. Also, never put a fire outside a car door. In both instances you'll most likely exit and spawn standing in the fire....and then die... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mroz4k Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I have never once burned myself in the TLD. I dont know why because I often get really close to the fire, though I am being mindful of it. Strange is you can pretty much place your bedroll on fire and (at least i never noticed) it wont be ruined or damaged (as far as I know, I never noticed it would get damaged). But yea, be mindful of fires - you dont really get much warmer by getting closer to it then a safe distance away (unless it is in wind shielded area and you are not). Even in cramped spaces, you can often avoid it if you are careful. One tip I would give, I guess - is to never place fires in a way of where you normally go - example the mentioned Jackrabbit island - that house has a railing you can go around. I am used to go behind it for safety paranoia issues (I know wolves couldnt get me behind that railing) - so I would never place a fire there. Or under the back exit door of Camp Office - chances are I would go through the front, with fire burning outside for charcoal source, and then step outside again through the backdoor, right into the fire...

Thrasador Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I haven't died yet from a fire, but after playing for like a month I lit a fire outside the Riken to cook some meat without increasing my cabin fever chances. I started it what I thought was pretty far from the opening....but apparently you spawn a lot farther from the opening in the Riken then I realized. I backed up pretty fast and pretty ticked off...
