Have you ever been outside in -40 weather? Or spent a night in it? Or spent a day in 40c weather without ac? I'm only curious cause of your stance. Both suck ass, been at both (thankfully we had cabins available at the -40 weather when the fire went out).

Mean it sounds quant but you can try the actual stuff beforehand, spend a week in the bush with minimal goods, I haven't and wouldn't want to. I still treked through them for a month due to a school I was in, that's the summer side though not hot just usual summer temps.

Not trying to harsh ya or anything it's just until you've been through a month of camping (okay we did have food brought in) or very cold weather for a few nights outdoors it's hard to be serious about wanting that.

Mean if you want to die hunting? Have at it. I'm just saying you need some build up before you get to what you'd prefer and survive well.

And to those that do it? They have my respect I've been in the wild even with food drops, and it can suck for anyone used to modern world. Also I'm in my late 40s my experience was early 90s when gortex was awesome to have as an outer wear and few of us had it.

Also the first game was one of the few games I've finished in my life (yes I suck at games plus adhd) and quite enjoyed the second but never finished it. Stuck on a mission where everything is aggro or something it just stopped being fun

I do see your view though for sure and can appreciate it.

    -40 is the same in both Celsius and Fahrenheit which is kinda cool. It's also a pretty extreme situation. I'm not a historian, but I'm pretty sure people would plan to travel to warmer climates, like maybe Tahiti, or have some shelter for winter or they'd be ya know... Dead.

    Oh I agree, though many people lived through it back then and I would think they're stronger than most these days for handling it. Just don't think it was so attractive as OP put it is all. First bit of rdr2 was a blizzard scene unless Im misremembering, that alone would weed out a ton if they couldn't handle things.
