That makes sense, thank you!

I intended to post this earlier, but my forum registration wasn't approved until 2 days later Hi, long time player here, first venture into the forums Day 1 - Spent two hours cruising Coastal Highway for supplies and sweet, sweet candy bars. Found about six of them, maybe slightly more. Not having wolves around is great, but the perpetual dark and constant snow means zero visibility - still not a walk in the park. Also plunged into the icy water close to the islands, even though there was no creaking warning - odd. Ended the day in the Coastal Townsite. Day 2 - Decided to trek down from Quonset Garage to Commuter's Lament, only to find the entrance to the Crumbling Highway blocked off by a rock wall - not sure why this is? Managed to survive a few wolf attacks, and found my first pumpkin by the Waterfront Cottages on the way back to Quonset, plus a rifle! Lucky find. A little more exploring, ended the day in a cabin at the Log Sort. Day 3 - Aurora, exciting! I haven't seen it often, so seeing the environment react is pretty cool. I shot two wolves with the rifle, which supplied me with some much needed wolf meat (those candy bars aren't going to last me forever). Trekked all the way up to the abandoned lookout, where I was greeted with a pleasant sight! I managed to get attacked twice by the same aurora wolf while holding an activated flashlight since at first I didn't realise you have to set it to 'high' to actually repel the wolves. And because I'm an idiot. I healed up in the lookout, then made my way down again, back to Quonset, where I was ambushed by a pack of aurora wolves. This time I used the flashlight like a sane person, and drove them off successfully. I decided to wait out the last 15 minutes in the garage, since there was no real need to venture out. I've got about four rifle shells left, a stack of reclaimed wood, wolf meat, two candy bars and a fairly good outfit. Let's see what tomorrow brings! Day 4 - Today was a blizzard breeze! I had enough reclaimed wood stacked up to last me 2 hours easily. Nice and toasty. I ventured out to search the Quonset houses, as well as the Jackrabbit Island and Misanthrope's Homestead, for potential pies, but no luck I got both badges though! This event has actually inspired me to try the other challenges, I'd never received a badge before - and somehow couldn't get into the challenge gameplay. I will try out Hopeless Rescue first - wish me luck
