Apologies for the late reply, it looks like I replied and then forgot to upload
the REP packet in a timely fashion. 

I was slightly disappinted with the update, but probably only because the
features added had no benefit for me.  I've been playing long enough, that most
of the long standing maps I know a lot of the landmarks already, and I've used
sticks, stones, cattail heads, and tinder plugs to mark things on the gound.  I
realize the new update lets me note those new marker locations of spray paint
and rock piles. eh. At this point I am guessing some of those new features
might be playing a part in the new chapter, but I guess we have to wait and
ee.

That's actually pretty funny.  The only bears I've seen are either walking
around, chasing /attacking you, or dead.  I suppose a dead bear sort of looks
like it might be sleeping, but it's going to disappear in a few days anyway.

I have not. I briefly looked it up but was convinced to start playing DayZ
by/with some gaming friends I'd been playing Sniper Elite 4 with.  In my
opinion, survival in DayZ makes survival in The Long Dark look pretty easy.
