whats the best safehouse location in coastal highway? or should i move to pleasant valley?
I dont feel safe anymore on quonset area in CH since the 3 consecutive wolf attacks on day 14, getting really paranoid just by sounds like the woodpecker doing its thing sounds like a growl to me and even a footsteps that i thought to be a wolf or a bear on snow that turns out to be a deer or a rabbit.

I use jackrabbit island and the fishing camps. I can fish in the ice huts, catch rabbits on the island and use the work bench to make stuff. The are deer about 50% of the time. You can keep a lookout for wolves with the elevation of the island. Gets a bit windy at times.

There's a couple of possibilities. Are you asking for a primary base location, or just a safehouse? For primary bases, I'd say that most folks seem to go with either jackrabbit island or the fishing camp, as rocoll said.

Personally, I'm partial to the small cabin up the hill from the fishing camp, but staying in the fishing camp probably would make more sense.

As long as you can start a fire you have a cooking area :)
I'm a fan of Misanthrope Homestead which is the little island right next to Jackrabbit island. The house gets so much lighter inside and there are still enough bunnies hopping about to set up a few snares (close to a fishing hut also and deers from time to time). No cooking facility but I set up a BBQ area outside so I can admire the view whilst boiling my water ;)

CH has a lot of good options but there isn't a perfect option IMO.

Jackrabbit is probably the nicest but lacks a workbench and stove. You'll have to walk and spend the day at fishing village or Quonset to use the workbench and make campfires to cook/boil (which helps with cabin fever but a pain with wind and storms). Otherwise its a nice, safe location with rabbits, fishing, and a short walk away from deer, wolf, and bear hunting. And good visibility being on a hill overlooking the ice. Probably my top choice.

Fishing village lacks indoor fire and has a bear that occasionally walks right through it. Not a huge deal if you are paying attention, but I like a safe zone around my home to save me from any unexpected surprises.

Misanthrope is similar to Jackrabbit, but has more hostile wildlife nearby. A bear and wolf can spawn close to it.

And you know the downside to the gas station. An otherwise great option surrounded by wolves.

As with most replies, it is all about the difficulty level you play.

For me on Loper, I prefer the fishing village. The largest risks in Loper are wolves and cold. The fishing camp is void of wolves, and the bear coming through from time to time is just a great opportunity for a lot of meat, guts, and a very important hide. As long as you crouch when you leave the cabin and listen for any nearby bear, you will be safe. Lots of deer available.

Frankly, after 250 days it's too cold to craft much outside, so when I make my monthly trip to the Cinder Hills mine i use the bench there for any big ticket items.

If you kill the wolves Qonset is very nice. Even on Interloper. I actually like it because it's relatively easy to get the pelts for a wolf coat or two.

But things are close enough together that you can rotate between places

I use the the Fishing Camp. You might consider that cabin on the hill away from the Quonset. Right below Silent Clearing.

Living in Fishing Camp have an advantage that you are forced to fishing time from time for cure CF warnings, and this result in lot of oil, so can use storm lantern in mine bench.

But Fishing Camp bench is OK if you use some sticks and coal for warm-up, just assure that bear are in "vacaciones" days. :steammocking:
