Your Cozy Corner of Chaos in The Survival Genre
Turns out I made a Pinterest account years ago and promptly forgot it existed—until now. Good news: it’s back, it’s live, and it’s getting updated.
If you enjoy cozy survival chaos, scenic screenshots, and curated tips from The Long Dark, Skyrim, ARK, and beyond, you can now find and follow Survivor Incognito on Pinterest too.
More pins coming soon—survival, but make it scrollable.
The torch is gone, the cold is worse, and the necromancy is getting bolder. Day 2 of my Skyrim Survival playthrough is now up. I brave the snow to raid Bleak Falls Barrow, struggle with Apprentice difficulty, and return victorious—barely.
Catch the full story here: [Sneak, Snipe, Repeat Day 2]
Our cautious wanderer isn’t done with the cold just yet.
Day 3 of A Voyageur’s Tale arrives this Thursday, and things are heating up—well, metaphorically. Expect more coffee, questionable decisions, and the creeping suspicion that the wolves have formed a union.
If you’ve missed the first two entries, now’s a good time to catch up. The cold doesn’t wait, and neither do the moose.
Stay warm. Stay weird. See you Thursday.
Until then, catch up with the first two days here: [The Cold Chronicles: A Voyageur’s Tale]
So… I may have taken a wrong turn on the way to Bleak Falls Barrow. Twice.
Day 2 of my stealth-archer survival in Skyrim brings snowstorms, skeletal surprises, and the harsh realization that I probably should’ve brought a torch. Also: I’ve discovered the joys of necromancy. It’s amazing what a little magic, a lot of arrows, and a reanimated corpse can do against the undead.
Full Day 2 post coming on Wednesday —expect frostbite, draugr, and exactly one incredibly untrustworthy man in a web cocoon.
In the meantime: Read Day One of Skyrim Survival Here

Survivor Incognito’s new Map Hub is here! Get quick access to detailed maps for The Long Dark, Skyrim, ARK: Survival Evolved, and more.
Lost again? You’re in luck—because now I know where I am. Mostly.
The Map Hub is now live on Survivor Incognito! It’s your one-stop page for every survival game map I’ve blundered through so far. Whether you’re wandering Mystery Lake, dodging deathworms in Scorched Earth, or just trying to remember which way Bleak Falls Barrow is, I’ve got you covered.
Here’s what’s inside:
The Long Dark region pages (including DLC and transition zones)
ARK: Survival Evolved maps for The Island and Scorched Earth, with links to interactive versions
Skyrim world map (because frostbite waits for no one)
A placeholder for future games, because let’s face it—I’m probably going to keep making poor survival decisions
Each game has its own dedicated map section, and I’ll keep expanding it as the blog grows. So if you ever need to get your bearings—or just want to laugh at mine—you know where to click.
I’ve added a new feature to the blog: a full map of Skyrim.
No markers. No quest icons. Just a map so you can trace the journey the same confusing way I do — by squinting at rivers, guessing mountain paths, and muttering “pretty sure I passed that ruin already.”
You’⁰ll find it linked on the main Skyrim Survival page and at the end of each day’s post. Or you can jump straight to it here:
[Skyrim Survival Map]
It won’t tell you where I’m going next, but it will show where I might be. Or where I got lost before heading somewhere else entirely. Either way, it’s part of the fun.
Let me know what you think. And if you’re a map-staring, path-guessing player too — welcome home.
We made it through another week of frostbite, undead assassins, and poor life choices involving torches. Here’s what’s (hopefully) coming next week:
The Great Bear Island and Far Territory anchors are live. Up next: finishing the region write-ups, transition zones, and making sure Transfer Pass behaves itself. I’m hoping to get this finished up before the next day of A Voyageur’s Tale is up.
The Golden Claw waits, and so do the draugr. Next week, I brave Bleak Falls Barrow armed with low expectations, a questionable sense of direction, and necromancy. Because if someone’s gotta die in that ruin, it might as well be twice.
I try to escape Desolation Point. Spoiler: the wolves have other plans. There will be storms, missteps, and probably a desperate sprint across a broken bridge. Again.
Also, quick note: I’m updating the front page of the blog! You’ll find some new sections, updated links, and a cleaner layout, so keep an eye out for those changes. It’s all part of making your journey through my survival stories just a little smoother.
Missed this week’s survival misadventures? Here’s your one-stop recap of ARK, Skyrim, and The Long Dark escapades, plus a sneak peek at what’s coming next.
