Forlorn Airfield cooking
Forlorn Airfield cooking
A relaxing morning (Day 520) cooking in the airfield. I've found the control hut to be the best spot for it: the sheltered place between the two buildings shields you from the wind from two directions, and the opened doors mean that if the wind blows straight through from either direction, at least two fires will keep going.
Airfield favourite base: the cave under the lake island. Clear lines of sight to everything, sheltered outdoor spot for mass cooking, not far from the fishing huts, central to stick spawns east and west and on the island. Shelters north, northeast, northwest, and southeast for stick gathering.
Definitely need a couple of breadcrumb trails to cross the ice, but those don't take too long. And you have to be keenly aware of when you last killed the bear...
@rbos yeah, that sounds like a great spot. I haven't spent enough time there to have settled on a favourite base. Cargomaster's is good, but everywhere is so far away.
In my current run I have long cattail breadcrumb trails around HRV, from Starsteps to the scrub brush cave to Valley View. Took ages but very useful in a blizzard, I'm proud of my creation!
Yeah, the travel times in FA make everything harder and a little more tedious, and any given round trip requires planning and some recovery afterwards.
Well done with the breadcrumb trails! I get soooo lost in HRV, it's a great region but I've only spent a cumulative maybe 40 days in it, most of that in the cave a little east (I think) of Stairsteps Lake. I think that's the scrub brush cave you mentioned.
