It's (mostly) all about the destinations, the wonderous places the party can explore. It's also what I really liked about the Chaos Scar mini-setting in the later 4E Dungeon mag. It was basically the Caves of Chaos reimagined. And I think it worked fine in 4E. We are talking now imo about the resource system of 4E which is based on the assumption that the party will need an extended rest after 4 to 5 normal encounters. Sure you could draw the party deep into hostile territory. But even in 4E characters will need their rest badly after 6 encounters. Only a highly optimized and tactically skilled party can survive that long without any extended rest (at least that's how I see it). I think it can work but I'm not sure if they survive weeks in the wild without the aid of a real extended rest. But I'm fine with the base idea that there should be difficulties in finding the right spot and the right time to replenish their resources.</blockquote>
