Moonlighting, in the literal sense.

Chop the trees. Make the quota.
Get back to the truck alive.

Before you clock in

Chop

Trees are your wages and your levels. Nothing else pays.

Deliver

Only wood on the truck counts. Dying deep loses the load.

Burn

Throw a torch for light; feed it to hold the ground.

Call the truck

When dire wolves arrive, follow the site marker deeper along the road. Clear the marked ring and build a campfire there by throwing a torch and feeding it. Press your use key to call the truck, then defend for 60 seconds. Be inside the ring when it arrives to bank your carried wood and end the night. If you are outside, the truck waits for you.
