Directions to an area please!

[Martyin]

There were a couple instances where I simply couldn't find what I was looking for. For one part (the part where I climb down the mountain for the first time) I had to find a youtube video.

Now I'm lost again, and I can't find any video's on episode 2.

Where do I go to find the Maintenance Yard, please? It seems like I have to go... left, according to the map, but there are just mountains in the way... I actually wandered all the way to the supply cache.
Please halp! Freezing mah butt off, ran out of food, can't seem to get flares to work on wolves, survivor in danger!!!

It seems u need to go left however the devs unintelligently made it so you are actually moving from right to left this time.

So in reality you need to go left which is DOWN the hill once at the landslide, and then back up.

Yeah, you head right toward an area with a frozen lake, and a distant waterfall to your right. You should be able to see a fallen tree that you can use as a bridge, go up the small hill and cross that tree then it's a pretty straightforward road to the maintenance yard.
The idea is that the railroad is blocked by a landslide, so you have to find a way around that landslide. That's really all you need to do, and then SOMEHOW there are rails leading toward a car which then leads you to the maintenance yard.
When I made it to the yard, I was utterly bewildered as I hadn't expected to reach it so soon.

I think the moral of the story here is to NOT look so closely at the map. The pathing is actually very linear if you just follow open pathways as best you can without trying to overthink things with the map. I did take a wild guess as to what direction to walk in for the hunting lodge, figuring it'd be to the back of the maintenance yard, which it was (thankfully there was a bridge to help guide me, too).

One person said left which I think was just a typo, so just in case OP is confused, right is definitely right :)
