Is there really no shortcut after unlocking the cannery workshop?
Just got the code and made the little boardwalk over. After all this backtracking between regions, I seriously need to redo the entire boardwalk just to re-access the ammo workshop every time? I was expecting to be able to use the workshop as a safe house, since it has the only work bench in the region.

But having to redo it all just to drop off food, firewood, get into shelter sucks. This isn't fun at all. I thought blackrock was annoying but this reeks. I know this has been a common complaint since bleak inlet has been introduced... but still... it's been like 3 years...

Not as far as I know, but if you strategically place a Rock Cache you can access if while on the upper and lower sections to make it easier (just one climb).

I always thought it would be good if you could tie a climbing rope to part of the structure once you got inside.
I think there's an old old thread either here or at the Hinterland forums where every one was discussing the assumption that there was a way to do this, trying to work out where it would be. But eventually everyone realised: No, you just have parkour up to it every time.

This is why I almost always make my bullets in Blackrock.

It was supposed because when this map was released you find a rope inside the Canary, and the BI map has no other place suitable for place rope - unless in the way down, for what this rope is useless, one already have used the rope in the Lookout.

I think that the original concept behind the Last Resort Cannery included a Wintermute quest. So a rope was left in the work shop for that eventuality. Except Episode 4 the part where Astrid could have been doing things in Coastal Highway and maybe extending to Bleak Inlet never came into being and we got treated to her robotic boat ride in the epilogue.

I find it unlikely that such a quest would have had Astrid cross into Ravine then climb down to Ravine Basin, then visit the radio station, then deploy the rope from the lookout and climb down to then go to the Last Resort Cannery to open the work shop, etc. That would have been one long haul but it could be doable.

Like a lot of plans Hinterland had about the scope of Wintermute, they had to face reality about how to actually go about it and gave it up.

Regarding the workbench, there´s another one on the Washed out trailer.
I am almost sure of this, but I will check it out.

For what I remember, there are just a mat bed in this trailer. Perhaps you are confusing with similar trailer in FA.
its a huge pain in the ass imo. its also really annoying that getting on the parkour section for the first time spawns a full sized timberwolf pack in the middle of the cannery. just feels like something from another game that encourages just straight up knowing whats going to happen instead of surviving things as they come.
