Fishing Hut with Door: Temp During Blizzard

[wutduh]

Is a fishing hut with door and a bearskin bedroll enough to keep you alive if a blizzard hits? I was going to grind my fishing skill while stockpiling some food, but don't want to sacrifice myself :)

Disregard... answer is yes :)

Yes, I have done it on TWM before and well after the earthly decay started happening.

Edit again:

Well, I can't remember if it had a door on it.

This depends entirely on clothes, difficulty, and weather. For instance right now in my game the air temperature is -39 Celsius inside the TWM fishing hut (mid day, sunny on day 296). My clothes give 22 Celsius, my bear bedroll is just repaired and gives 12 Celsius, I don't have a door but it would be worth 3 Celsius if I did (if my hut had a door it'd be -36 instead), so that's -39 + 22 + 12 + 3 = -2. So, no, I'd slowly freeze to death without a fire even if my hut had a door. Since it's pretty much the warmest part of day I'd more quickly freeze once it gets a bit colder.

However, since fishing is a low strain activity and you don't need to gain the max recovery from long sleep durations, you can just sleep in 2 hour stints and never really worry, if you start to freeze you'll wake up before it's too dangerous and you can light a fire or head for cover.

Great tip, thank you!

Having a door on the ice fishing hut means that even if the wind direction changes you're not in danger of getting soaked then frozen as you can be with a door-less hut.

In my Stalker game I have a door which gives me a +3c and bedrool for +12c and since I fish allot I have tons of oil and if you have the lantern on during a blizzard it's another +2c even when you sleep. So unless it's a -50c you can hold out for a few hours.

I'd really like it if they would make the lantern a skill and eventually allow you to start a fire with the lantern.

On loper you will die without a fire...after 4-6h of sleeping

or die after 3-4h of fishing..

[AAAARGH!]

Get some coal.

I regularly restock my fish in a fishing hut with a door. Not freezing is totally dependent on your clothes. Hut with a door will give you a 10-15 degree warmth bonus but there were a couple times I woke up below freezing. Keep your hut stocked with wood, sleep in 2 hour intervals, and you'll be good

that's why it's so difficult to get fishing/cooking 5 on interloper because you have to have a fire running pretty much all the time. Not only that you cook 1 fish and the darn hole starts to close up again.
