Finally tried Stalker.. 42 days

I normally play on voyager but it's gotten ridiculously easy. I've got a 200 day run that I've paused because all I was doing was hording loot lol.

So started stalker. Died a couple times right off the bat. This last time, almost died to infection, but lived, almost died to wolves x3, but lived and was at day 42.

Bagged the moose in mystery lake, then as I was hauling the hide back got mauled by a bear. Survived and it bled out. I was super proud of myself. Healed up, set the hides out.

Died to two back to back wolves the next day lmao.

For those that play on stalker, what are your go to tips? What region do you like starting in? I'm having a blast so far!
