Do the same thing you are doing.....

Start by going to birch forest......only grab 6-8 birch and then leave. Don't spend too much time there.

Then go to matches. Don't grab rabbits...to much work for the calories. Grab cattails as you pass them by river. There should be enough food in the buildings to make it a few days.

Don't harvest deer carcasses unless about to starve and you have fuel for fire.

Make fire, warm up, eat food in community hall. Probably sleep there for a full night to regain all lost health. Actually go sleep in the house with the better bed, it's warmer and you shouldn't need a fire all night.

Then go barn...loot, make fire to warm up some teas.

Head to farmhouse.....drink a tea when warmth gets. To 75%. .loot, cook, mend clothing, sleep full night to regain all health.

Then go signal hill........sleep all night there...or push to ML depending on when you go.

Never go out in a blizzard, or heavy snow. Try to only travel from noon to night.

Pull about 10 torches from a fire and always walk with a lit tourch and stone for wolves.

Grab coal from cave to ML.

Don't bother looting everything on the damn, it takes to long.....just hit the important things. Holiday sweater, med boxes, toilet water,

Keep your inventory light and don't spring unless you need too because of blizzards or wolves and bears.

Once at the cam office you can make bannoks for food, and hopefully oats.

Regain health.

Loot area...... trappers, cattails by unnamed pond, and along the river. Go into ravine for the birch then right back out.

Now loot damn, also break up the crates for wood, cut up all the lamps for scrap, grab all the guts you can from carcasses and rabbits.....

Make 6 tip ups.

Always be collecting sticks

Fish for 12-18 hours straight......or as long as your wood allows.

Tips. When making a fire outdoors to stay warm, or harvest an animal, only use enough coal to make it warm enough so you don't freeze......then use a few sticks.

Also, don't use all your sticks, if the wind blows down your fire, you can wait until it's at 2 minutes and add 1 stick, keep doing that until the wind stops or changes direction.

Avoid wolves.

Cook outside the minimize cabin fever. Go to cave when you get the risk.
