I left the mountains with 2 days to spare and managed to trek to the lighthouse in one day from there. Coffee really helped and I would start a fire now and then to warm up. Micro manage your sleep! The worst part was definitely the climb to the summit, especially as I had crap clothing. Need water? Sleep while it gets to boiling. Sleep for a couple hours at a time while 'Warming up'. I would stop in houses along the way to grab quick supplies and warm up. After, you will need to go to Desolation point lighthouse and shoot the flare gun from the top of the lighthouse.įor this challenge, you should cover as much ground as possible each day, regardless of whether it is day or night. You will need to travel to the summit of the Timberwolf Mountains to obtain a flare gun. Still, I was able to complete the challenge with one day to spare.įor this challenge, you will begin in Trapper's cabin in Mystery Lake. If you face these initial challenges, that may be recommended. Looking back now, I probably should have just restarted. Plus, I had three straight days of horrible weather at the start. I started at night and did not start with any water and was unlucky with clothing throughout the challenge.

*** Spoiler - click to reveal *** I had a bit of trouble with this one.
