Camp

Your character can chose to set up a camp at any point during your run, in order to stop and help feed both yourself and your dogs, as well as options to help alleviate any status effects you may have accrued during your run.

When you prompt your character to set up camp, they will always find a spot right before the next trail marker.

Each sled dog has their own individual spot at camp where they like to hang out.

Fire
Starting a fire can remove the Cold status effect from your character. It can also be used to cook food for you to eat. Fire can be started with either Birch Wood, or a Flint and Steel.

Your character can eat food without cooking it, however this will add the Cold status effect back to your character.

Eating
Eating food is the only way for your character to regain hunger bars, and they can only do so while at camp, unlike the dogs. Eating one piece of meat will always give you back two bars of hunger, however if you eat the meat without cooking it over the fire, you will receive the Cold status effect.

Healing
While at camp, you may chose to use a med kit to heal either yourself, or your dog. Healing is important, because if you are injured more than once before healing, your game is over.

Feeding the Dogs
While the dogs can find food while hunting out on the trail, stopping for camp is another way to help regain their energy. One piece of meat will give them back one bar of energy.

If you have the Booties for the dogs, one piece of meat will instead give back two bars of energy.

Sleep
If your character or dogs start to get tired, you will slowly lose the max number of bars you are able to have for your hunger or dogs' energy. This can be alleviated by choosing to sleep in the tent with Chomper. When you sleep, however, you always lose one bar of hunger, so make sure you aren't in the red when you decide to go to sleep.

If you have already found the Animal Trap, you can chose to set it before you go to sleep in order to have a chance at finding some meat while you're sleeping.

Sleeping is the only way to remove the Tired status effect.

Petting the Dogs
Going around and giving each of your dogs some good old fashion love and affection is one of the ways to help push each dog's quest along. You can talk with them about the events that they did that day, and doing so can help trigger the next event needed to help finish that dog's quest.

Also, they're super cute and deserve the pets.
