Climbing trees
First off I like how you add or change scenery with each update, This time it seems as though you've given us some high ground to escape wolves/bears. Most notably in CH coming out of the quonset crossing the highway and heading up the bank before dropping over to the other side. That's a nice perch there now. It can be a bit tricky getting to it with the wolves, but once you're up there its a nice view. Also the tunnel collapse in ML. Can lure that wolf that always to be in the area and crack him from the log car.

So, after climbing the tree at the log car, I figured I'd try some others. No luck. Two trees near trappers in particular, If you're standing at the barn looking towards trappers on the right of the barn is a slanted tree. I can climb part ways up then glitch through it and fall back to the ground. On the left across from the barn and slightly behind there is a tree that lays across the rocks about halfway up the hill. I can almost get to the rocks by walking up the tree and then I glitchto the ground.

There are probably others like this but these are the only other ones I tried. Are they non climbable or a bug? Just wondering as I'd hate to find a taller one and start to climb only to fall to my death. Maybe it's just my nature, but if its new I'm checking it out and I'll try to climb it, if for no other reason just to see if I can. Theres also a glimmer of hope that some loot might have been hidden on the tops of rocks or other places where trees have fallen. So I can't let an oppertunity slip by. If you place them I will climb!

Oh, and thanks for the update, you keep our heads spinning with the frequency and quality of each new one.

Don't get too comfortable with running up trees to get away from wolves. I recently saw a wolf in ML casually walking up a fallen/slanted tree. It was with the test unity 5 upgrade.. so it may be something new. I had never seen that before though.

Another escape option beside dropping food or a flare would be nice...but bears. I'm Canadian and can say bears can climb trees, it sometimes works because you get high enough and the lower branches may not hold so the bear will somewhat stop halfway...sometimes.

Yikes, never seen a wolf climb a tree yet and hope not too either. But I have seen both them and deer go straight up a mountain and over rocks that would are almost vertical. As for the bears I don't shoot them often but it seems when you get to a higher position they just can't seem to find the simple way to me, including walking up a snow bank then onto the fence I'm standing on. Probably just luck so far, as I'm sure someone shot at Yogi (you know he's smarter than the average bear) and then had him climb up and maul them.
