This i really dont understand... I've been to NW airfield on both of the lives i've played (one still alive), and i have NEVER had to stop EVER. I went to cherno got myself a box of tuna and maybe a bottle of water or two cans of soda and just ran north. No resting needed, no stopping to search for extra loot until i got to stary / vybor at which point finding more food/drink is really easy. Haven't passed out for any other reason than zombies bashing my head in. Though most of it does need balancing, they should not just increase the amount of loot you find. Also part of the reason theres so little loot is because, afaik, loot does not respawn properly.. Don't quote me on that though, just something i think i read somewhere..
