I've really come around to the Forsaken Airfield. The little cave on the lake under the cabin kinda ended up meaning a lot to me. It's close to game and has good lines of sight. You need to put down trails on the ice to deal with the fog. There's a crafting bench and forge near enough to be useful with a day hike. Once you've looted the region, it's pretty nice.

The other cave on the lake would also work but it's less central, but is closer to the zone transition to ZoC.

Monolith Lake is also a high point for me, and more useful now that there's a bunker with a crafting bench in HRV. It just feels like a nice place to be. Good food security. I wish ice fishing were more viable in Interloper. Maybe with a snow shelter.
