as a random thought: since you've walked to the mountains and already encountered wolves that mean you have a chance to tame few for yourself. dig a hole in a ground large enought to fit a wolf or two...and lure them there (die if you have to).
throw some meat into the pit and sit around without provoking volves. you can even breed them afterwards....
(they are very handy in protecting you, your base or even killing bosses)
