Yes, Merry Christmas, Gary, and early Happy New Year.
One of my old friends got a critical hit the other day, killing a hell hound. This launched into stories about great crits from previous campaigns decades ago. At the end, he said, "God, I love D&D."
Thanks for making so many people happy, Gary.

Hi Gary:
Happy holidays.
I'd bet cash money that this has been asked before, but here we go. I know the game "Outdoor Survival" was listed as being required for early D&D wilderness adventures. I also know that many people simply used the map included with the game. Was there more to it than that? How did you use the game in D&D?

That is an interesting idea for a lengthy adventure, although it assumes dragons of a far less predatory and rapacious sort that ae typically presented. Not a bad idea at all
Christmas best wishes,
Gary

Yes, reminising is a great feature of the D&D game with a group of long-time players.
Yuletide best,

We used the map, moved counters on it, and rolled for getting lost, so that one was never certain which direction one would head on a turn. Random encounters were used, and the ponds were castles, so there was some jousting rather thanb regular mortal combat.
That's pretty well sums it up--at least all that I can recall after 30 years.
Merrie Christmas,
