Setting this up for people to share their experiences so far.

How many days did you survive and how did you die?

I went 4 1/2 days to fall off a cliff as I was searching for the secret cache " bomb shelter " in the hills that randoms up.

Surviving I found not overly horrible as keeping yourself fed is easy. Only thing I think that would kill me is running out of clothing and freezing to death, running out of wood and dying due to food poisoning due to lack of antibiotics.

Wolves. Every time, it's the wolves. I must have a sign on my back saying "bite me!"

Try going into the Dam building for the 1st time thinking well hmm its an inside area and ive not come across Wolves inside buildings before so i must be safe.Nope a Wolf killed me when i was ransacking a container and i crapped myself hard D:

Dude, I walked into the dam and started to harvest some clothing that was about to rip. I'm in the entry room btw, I walk into the next room.. and BAM!! Wolf AMBUSH's me from the side!!!! No Barks, No Growls, no noise! Not from up front, but aggressively lying in wait to eat me, took me by so much surprise it kill'd me almost instantly fast in this round.

I found the game to be the most refreshing take on the survival genre because it doesn't have any gimmicks like mutants, undead, zombies, pvp survival.

its more or less a survival simulator or in most cases its a Wolf Food Simulator.

BTW my record is a measly 3 to 4 days
