Back from hols. Byffs Blogz day#5 It's funny logging in after such a long break. All the things that you've memorised in certain locations have been moved and it's like starting out again from scratch. Fortunately, the Fogeyz have been busy upping the vehicle count and there's now 300+ vehicles on the server so it wasn't long before I found a pick-up truck to get around easier. A quick drive down to Balota airfield and there was a Little bird sitting waiting for me to fly away. Obviously just spawned in, it was all green with a full tank of fuel, so I used that to buzz the other airfields. OMG, so many helicopters, some in disrepair and some ready to go. While flying around I saw a black SUV missing two wheels, so I hid the little bird away and set off to repair it. No problems encountered at all so now I have a little bird and a SUV in my little "base". Will they still be there when I log back in tomorrow?

Byff's Blogz day#4 The hunt for a new helicopter continues. Found a smashed up little bird resting against a building, obviously, someone had an adventurous landing. Luckily, I managed to get my hands on a tractor, the perfect tool for bouncing the chopper into a space just barely big enough for a take off. The hunt for spare parts took a bit longer than I'd hoped but its more or less repaired, just needs 2 glass and a scrap metal to complete then we can attempt a take off. I'm going on holiday for a few weeks so I was prepared to risk flying it with a very high chance of death, after all, I only carry meds and a hatchet now. Despite the assistance of the Fogeyz, I just ran out of time and didn't get a chance to finish repairing it. Someone else will have to be brave, but for now - it's holiday time.

Byff's Blogz Day#3 Figured out that all this PvP is a bit beyond me. I got shot and I didn't have a clue from where or by what, so until I'm more confident in gun handling, I'll be sticking to a hatchet for zed defence and i'll primarily be playing a medic role. The Fogeyz are a good mix of survivors and PvP players but unfortunately, I wasn't in the teamspeak channel so technically classed as a bandit. I was a legitimate target. On a positive note, I ran all the way back to where my dead body was and I was only missing my M14 and G17, but all my other supplies was still intact. I was informed that the players that had killed me had a black Gaz and a white pick-up plus they'd stolen my Landy so there must have been a few of them. After recovering my gear, I ran off for a 7k run to get to an AH6X Little Bird helicopter through the woods. I made out the glint of a vehicle through the trees and it was a black gaz, empty but half full of fuel. A little further on and I found the white pick-up, with 6 wheels, engine parts, fuel tank parts, jerry cans, glass and loads of other stuff. With a full tank of fuel, it made the final 5k a lot easier and I feel that I've got my own back just a little bit. Disaster....got back to the helicopter and it was destroyed !!!! Looks like it's back to stalking the airfields for the re-spawns.

Byff's Blogz day#2 Simple day today, just repair a Ural truck, move it to a new location and get some gear stashed away in it. That was the plan, until I realised the Mi-17 needed fuel - boy does that thing take some filling up. Filled her up and had a look for a Huey that I'd crashed earlier, figured it'd be easier to spot from the air. How wrong could you be !!! Basically, earlier I had landed a Huey quite safely and jumped out. I was quite surprised to find the chopper overtake me as it slid down a hillside and into a forest. It was damaged, but not a write off, so I either wanted to repair it or blow it up to force it's re-spawn. I looked all over the place and I just can't find it, so if I can't find it and I know where I crashed it, there's no chance of anyone stumbling across it. Is that a challenge I wonder? All you budding treasure seekers out there are welcome to jump on the Fogeyz cherno server and have a look for it. I also did a bit taxi'ing for WaCko and Ice7 so it's a good job the Russian flies fast, coast to NW in 2 minutes beats walking any day. Unfortunately, Munny, Ryan and Tobbes suffered a little set back when I accidently nose dived the Mi-17 into the sea when trying to do a top speed test. 380kmh we hit but I left it a little bit too late to pull up and it was a swim back to recover our gear on the respawn. Quick edit to add: I got Hero skin today, nearly pooped my pants when he went "arghh" and the skin changed.

Loving the London server. :D
