Mountain Town is a pretty cool place to visit, but not somewhere many players would want to live. It’s a necessary stop on the way to Hushed River Valley, perhaps the most punishing zone in The Long Dark.
Wolves can be problematic in town due to the short sight lines caused by the many buildings. Follow along below.Mountain Town (Milton in story mode) features many houses, meaning it can be a great place to find clothing items. A couple of years ago, we met with Michael Skauge - then the retail manager of Filson’s New York operations - to learn how to re-wax a heavy cotton jacket. The company still offers waxed cotton jackets for their customers - their flagship jackets are made of heavy tin cloth, named from when tin was the most resistant, commonly used metal. One of those companies is Filson, which got its start in Seattle in 1897 outfitting prospectors on their way to the Klondike Gold Rush. But a few companies have stuck with waxed cotton, which remains much more suited to workwear and carries the look and history of a real outdoorsman don’t expect the paper-thin liner of your standard synthetic zip-up to survive a stray edge when you’re cutting down a tree. Since then a slew of synthetic, breathable and waterproof fabrics have been developed - and used in those lightweight North Face jackets everybody wears. The new material made for flexible, warm, durable and waterproof clothing that was quickly adopted by soldiers, outdoorsmen and sailors. Then, in the early 20th century, manufacturers developed a process for impregnating cotton with paraffin wax. The sailors started cutting jackets out of the oiled sailcloth for themselves, wearing early editions of the rain jacket, but these primitive designs, made with linseed oil, became stiff in the cold and faded in color. The solution was rubbing oil into the sailcloths, making them more efficient and also water repellent so they stayed light in the rain. Early sailors realized that wet sails caught the wind better than dry sails, but wet sails were too heavy and slowed the ships down. Before there were synthetic fabrics, before Gore-Tex and “weatherproof breathability," there was thick cotton and a can of wax.
