How to get the achievement "Deep Forest"

How to complete the achievement "Deep Forest" really, REALLY easily.

What is "Deep Forest"?

"Deep Forest" is an achievement in The Long Dark.
It requires you (the player) to keep a fire burning for 3 days.
This can easily and quickly be done using the following steps.

Step One: Tools

The first step is to load up a Pilgrim world on Mountain Town (Milton).
We need two items:

• A prybar
  
• A hatchet

The hatchet is easy. You can find it everywhere, from just outside the big Milton House to inside Paradise Meadows Farm. However, the prybar is more tricky. I've found only two spawns for one in the entirety of Milton. These are:

• In Paradise Meadows Farm, inside the generator shed outside next to a body.
  
• Milton Credit Union, immediately left of the door next to the ATMs next to a body and backpack.

If it's in neither location, delete the world and try again.

Step Two: Location

Once you have a prybar and hatchet, head just outside milton to the Orca Gas Station. Use the prybar to "unlock" the door, and get inside. There's a fire barrel in the back room. We can't use that for this achievement, so make a campfire just outside. Start it up using the items found inside the store and the items you start with (matches and maybe accelerant). Use the hatchet to break crates and planks until the fire is over 2 hours long.

Step Three: Cooking With Gas

Now things get fun.
Exit through the back door ("unlock" it if you have to), turn right, and you should see this.

Each stack of pallets takes 1 hour and 30 minutes to break down, and provides...
Wait for it...
16 Reclaimed Wood per stack.

Burn, Baby, Burn

You should now have enough wood to last through the entire Winter.
Have fun with your new achievement!

I did mine in a cave. I noticed a lot of downed branch limbs in an area , so went and hunted for more. Killed a deer to live off of and started my fire...was fun

You can also find the prybar inside one of the cars around the outside of the station

The processing plant in Desolation Point is also a good place to do it. Tons of pallets. The backdoor into the processing plant is sheltered from wind.
