Hopeless Rescue is, perhaps, the most popular challenge in The Long Dark. Often, players stress about making it to Desolation Point within just seven days. In reality, there really is no urgency at all. In this video, I walk through the entire challenge without sleeping and without running... just a walk through the winter park. As you will see, it is not too challenging, even with these restrictions.
