Have you got any essential or lesser known tips and tricks for this game? I'm currently playing on a custom Voyageur run to get the hang of the regions. I'm at day 36 and ventured out from Desolation Point to Hushed River Valley, got attacked by a moose and almost died. Things are going well! That said, I would appreciate some interesting tips!

Thanks for the tips. I only ever used the flare gun against a bear and I missed somehow, but very good to know it's a handy weapon to always have with me. I think I'll end up not carrying the rifle and just packing a bow and flare gun. I can always scare wolves with the bow (or aiming anything for that matter) and hunt small game with fire hardened arrows.
