The Long Dark: Long Term Planning | How To Survive The Long Dark 

“Have 2 to 3 days of food and some supplies” Me on interlooper: well I got a bag of beef jerky some water and a sweatshirt let’s rock and roll

bro, watching you hunt that rabbit lowered my rifle skill

i know the first time i stunned a bunny and killed it, oh man i felt that moral hand over me. like what did i just do, then after playing the game for like 3 months straight, it's like one of them cartoons, they come down the conveyor and you bonk em over the head. hinterlands really did an amazing job on this game, the atmosphere, and the moral dilemma.

This game would be so freaking easy if they allowed you to have like five other people join

survival top tip: run straight into the ocean

Mate loved your sincere explanation and making fun of yourself when you couldn't talk. Subbed.

*but that's okay!* That squeaky voice is so funny and cute tbh 😂😂😂

If you throw a rock at a wolfs head Theirs a good chance it’ll yelp and run

Man I found this game back in 2014-2015 on PC, was my favorite. Ain't had a PC in years and I just found out last night the game made it's way to console im stoked. Glad I found your videos man.

I always wanted a shotgun to be in the long dark. As its a weapon used for hunting. A double barrel shotgun adapted for bears and maybe moose at the hunting shelter or something like that would be a great addition but hinterland is pretty pascifist i guess lol

I watched this video and haven’t caught a rabbit since.

Have you discussed different types of shelters yet? Like snow shelters, caves, ruins, pros and cons? If not, then consider it a suggestion.

I disagree. Late game is the act of “scrounging”. Where you’ve blown through everything non respawnable on the island, and basically get all your supply from beach combing. Most people don’t really get there either through death or boredom.

My number one tip is "Don't get attached". Good work bud!

Your "Stone Age Sniper" award is still a ways off, huh?

Parts of this sounds like its some kinds of motivational speech haha. Very nice guide.

I enjoy your content, even its 5 years old, most of the stuff is useful in 2023 !!!

This was really well done.

My tip... Coal, tea, torches. Always keep a piece or two of coal in your inventory, always have a couple of teas brewed up and in your inventory, use torches to carry fire and scare off wolves.

Nice video. This is really helpful to new players like me because you find yourself asking “what should I be doing?” All the time. I died in an hour my first play through and I’ve made it four days on my second now but I’ve exhausted all the manufactured food in the game. I haven’t crafted or found any hunting equipment so that’s what brought me to your video: for help! I think I’ll restart my game and focus on the hunting and crafting of better clothes next. Thanks again for taking the time uploading this. 👍

Ik I'm super late to this game but thank you so much for this video!

Good videos u have a new subscriber

This was helpful

Thank you for the video!! Super helpful. And I can’t speak either, it’s okay 👍🏼😂

Played the alpha or whatever when it was free back on xbox. Liked it but just never got around to buying it. It's on game pass now so I figure I'll jump in. Appreciate the tips.

The bunny hunting hurts me😖😖😖

0:34 Killed me 😂😂😂

well done on all 3 XD

Ive been playing this game for 3 years now, and so far manage to survive for 100+days... My tips is: Early 20 days: Always start at mystery lake or pleasant valley first and then build your "well fed" upgrades before you go out of the location. Hunts only rabbits or fish, dont spend your weapon on deers and moose yet. Oh yeah, and increase you firemaking skills and harvesting skills to level 2 at least to make the exploration much easier. 20-40 days: Start to go explore the world. Brings only coal and sticks with you. Sharpen and clean everything needed (Hatchet and revolver) and bring at least 5 cloth for temporary shelter. Dont bring rifle, it's heavy so just leave it at your base location. Hides and guts that you get from rabbits or carcases, leave it in a cave or cabin and mark the location using spray can. Start collecting all the craft tools and bring it to your base camp. And the most important thing, avoid ash canyon and hush river valley during your exploration. 40 days++: This is when you start crafting everything using the hides that you have collected at your base camp (or secondary camp, i prefer making 2 camps since the world is big). For me, my base camp is camp office at mystery lake that covers the area of forlorn murkerg, broken railroad, mountain town and bleak inlet, and my secondary camp is the house at pleasant valley that covers the rest of the territories. After i have crafted my pants, mittens, hat, and boots, and this is where I started to hunt wildlife (moose to make satchel, wolves and bears for my coat and bed roll). 50 days after: This is where i sarted to craft bullets and noisemaker. And then i will start my adventure to hush river valley for another moose satchel, and ash canyon to get tactical backpacks and crampons. And yeah.. The days after is just me chilling at the fireplace making birch bark tea. I only fill up my stomach half full and only eats manufactured food when in emergency, or else i would just hunts rabbits or finding carcases to eat. Oh yeah, and i play this on stalker mode just to make things more challenging. Voyageur is too boring for me. And I only fight the wolves using fire because marine flares and regular flares is not a respawn item.

I love early game. I often play in a way that keeps me on the edge for long. Loops are predictible.

was hoping you would chuck rocks at the bear

Cool one

Isn’t the late game defined by the final decomposition of your last can and pot? I mean, once your last can and pot are gone, it’s pretty much “goodbye water”...right?

I can't wait to play the dong lark!

Lol seeing all that loot in one place after having played on Interloper for so long is jarring lol.

I have a question for you my tired meter keeps going down really fast but I keep trying to recover it by fully sleeping it's gotten to the point where it's very hard for me to explore without getting tired am I doing something wrong

I have played a fair bit on voyager now but never seen a heavy hammer needed to craft a hatchet or knife so it doesnt make me want to try interloper anytime soon

Idc if you mis spoke you are only human, just love your videos ty

For the long term I have a wolf skin coat, enough bear skin to make a bear skin coat, a military pea coat, well insulated boots or deer hide boots, rabbit skin gloves, rabbit skin hat with about 10 rabbit hide, about 60 cured gut, I think 4 deer worth of cooked meat outside the trappers homestead in an area wolves can't get to/ don't usually go near, 3 bears worth of bear meat, also two thermal underwear, deer skin pants, snow pants, two thick wool sweaters, two pairs of climbing socks, a moose hide satchel, about 40 rifle rounds and 2 rifles, about 70 revolver rounds plus revolver, 40 arrows and enough saplings for 3 bows, 4 hatchets, 6 hunting knives, 15 flares, 50 cloth, 47 cured leather, about 37 pieces of coal and about 50 pieces of reclaimed wood, 5 sewing kits, and to shorten this up 6 gallons pre boiled

The background video gave me PTSD.

Thanks for your video. From your understanding, is there a best home to live? Office? Farm?

I dont use rifles when hunting rabbits, I go Rambo mode with rocks.

"But that's okay"

Holy shit man, can you miss any more with those rocks?

i wish that you could have a goal in survival like in that challange with flare pistol, but you have unlimited time and pistol spawns in only one random location

Watching you hunting rabbits is painful x3 I play it on Switch with a controller. You probably on PC and you should have the better aim because mouse and keyboards. No offense by any means. I just feel so much better now. Still great video! Thanks again!

so you cant hit a rabbit up close with a rock but you can snipe it from across the lake lol

I'm currently running over 40 days on my voyageur run and I don't know how I reached that, considering my previous record was 15 days. I have a ton of good clothes, a base in PV, my first bear kill, 80 and 15 bullets for my revolver and rifle, and the majority of my skills 2 or higher.

Where you at?

Allows yourself to fail.

Do you think it is a good idea to hoard in the game because whenever I play I can never let go of loot even if it's bad

In the first hour I died in my sleep due to hypothermia

Does climbing up that fallen tree help if I wish to hunt the bear and not get mauled?

Hey, its been a while but, how do I find more ammunition for the rifle?

You probably could have cut this video down to 3 seconds by simply saying, 'plan ahead.'

That rabbit face was so cute with his little nose twitching; I was waiting for the brutal neck snap! Then you let him go. Nice guy, but you will never survive this game with that attitude.

8:20 rip

hey lonelywolf have you played this in 2021 nothing new about it was just wondering

Why im I watching this. The longest I've survived is 20 days lol

Any idea where the thumbnail is from? Looks like a decent place to hole up

what's the name of the map played in this video?

I have the feeling that you need to keep moving to survive. What do you guys usually do? Do you keep one base with resources and then travel around to gather stuff? Do you keep only a minimum of tools and resources with you? Some resources can be exhausted, others just don’t respawn, so you keep searching for them until they are exhausted everywhere.

HI lonely! I just found your channel because I wanted to ask you for a video, For each region what is the best base for all, I have had the game for about a year but i use the costal townsite as a base but in stalker i almost died to the wolf that roams there, So if you could do that Plus i subbed and enabled notifications

8:20 If you aim with your thumbnail it works really well

Where is the location he is in at 2:25?

It's okay dude im also bad at rabbit hunting........

It says there are no views and I'm first but knowing goobtube there are already 30 people saying FIRST.

G E T I N V O I C E C O M M S

I play pilgrim because I’m too scared of wolves 🤣

You can't hit shit with the rocks XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

You don’t get into the video for three minutes and 30 seconds. fail.

I have no idea how many hours I've played, I installed a cracked the long dark, I can't afford the game :/ but I know for sure that I've been playing this game for a quite long time now, I would say about 50+ hours

I had to look away when he killed the bunny

Someone should create a horse mod

i watched 4 minutes of the video and never got any information on long term planning in the long dark.

Hearing you fail to speak made me dyslexic

You're horrible at hunting rabbits. I basically never miss unless i'm throwing from extremelly long distances. There's a technique you could look up by now that's rather easy and makes you hit everytime.

Most redundant video ever

Complete waste of my time... this video has nothing of value.
