i cannot mend the snow shoes to go and search in the woods for the pipe to mend the heating, how do i walk on the deep snow? anyone out there

i found them in the baggage compartment now i am stuck in the snow with a wolf i think i need meat but where is it

To scare the wolf away, use your gun and click on the wolf. Don't worry, you won't shoot him, you'll just shoot into the air and scare him off.
