The Long Dark – Achievement Living off The Land

Achievement Living off The Land

I searched high and low to find out, exactly what you can and can’t do to get this achievement:

Living Off The Land (Survive 25 consecutive full days only consuming calories harvested from wild plants and animals (single game).

A little tip:
I decided to cook the teas/coffee for later use and messed up on day 2 and again on day 21. When trying to take it – instead I hit the drink button. So just be careful, if doing that. 😉

Also, do not carry around any of the processed food – store it somewhere, so you don’t get tempted.
You don’t need to start a new file to do this one – you can start in the one you’re playing right now, as long as you do it in 25 consecutive days.
