Pretty much the same but 4 and 5 are bandages/rags and canteen, 9 is compass and 0 is a completed map. In 8 I usually have binoculars once I find a pair.

what? No turnips or beets????

the h- cap vest will take two standard vests but you cannot fit an h-cap into an h-cap. Standard vests do not and never have fit into each other. Do you object to carrying an ak74umin an h-cap vest in a rucksack? I do this to protect the vest and what is inside it from damage. You would be amazed at what and how you can pack a hunters ruck. People wrap things in other things all the time.

I'll be hitting the supermarket tonight to stock up for .53 on experimental. Just because my character may starve to death does not mean I have to too.

Death to hoppers, of course, but do you realize that the standard ammunition load for a NATO soldier is 210 rounds? That's 6 full magazines in the same kind of vest that will only hold 4 for some weird reason and 1 full magazine in the weapon. SO, really, if you think about it, he was short at least one magazine.

Here's what I want to know. If there is no power, then how come the bells in Chenorgorsk still toll the hour? How is this happening? Is there a survivor, some mad priest or city hall bureaucrat making this happen? It creeps me out, especially at night..

Just for the heck of it. I am going to select one private shard 1pp server that has a decent population and begin feeding off of it. I imagine it will not be possible to survive on human meat alone. Also, it will not be any server I have frequented before or am already whitelisted on..

Actually it is a ploy to find people to add to my ignore list.

Not just the junk yard in Berezino either, because there are better ones than that one. I always head for the nearest junk yard, if I fresh spawn close to one.... Meh, pretty much that cat is out of the bag anyway, it's not telling man secrets to your girlfriend.

Would be better able to answer this if we knew what class it was for. If it is for an anthropology class then I'd say go find a different game or play the mod. Realize that this is not a finished game, any virtual anthropology would be skewed beyond recognition in SA.

If the bad guys have a shitload of Hand Grenades it could be pretty bad.

lolz, we could meet there on the SWG Emulator..

YES I have been in spite or your stubbornness I am finding the boxes and loose rounds where I said I have, including pick up trucks and towers. I notice you added industrial sheds in this post, which you did not have when you started this BS. Industrial sheds are NOT military areas. You originally said Military Areas ONLY. Don't tell me where I am and am not finding 7.62x39.

I am wondering if .53 is going to bring back the Hopper Zeds. I hated them things. Uncle Ernies just freaked me out a little because they were half naked and made me think of pedophiles.

As far as the Naval Base, I could go for a Submarine or a destroyer, light non military loot except maybe some naval/marine uniform items. Bring back caves, nothing like grilling meat in the mouth of a cave to bring out the survivalist. Also need derelict aircraft and helicopters scattered around the airbases, both civilian and military. Balota airfield should have been cratered since may of the buildings around it are also wrecked. Old late 19th/early 20th Century Coastal Defense Forts should be included along with other coastal defense installations in and around Chernogorsk City and Electro, not just a bunker here or there. I'd like to see a small subway system from Cherno ending at an AirCherno terminal in Balota, where the tent city used to be. Add a skyway over the road to a jet way on the field itself, boom, civilian airport. Many airfields are duel military/civilian usage in order to share costs.

I went to private shards, no hopping there. Each character is unique, so I have many private shards in my favorites. I get to experiment with a wide variety of routes and gear. I'll go back to public servers either with the release of .53 experimental or the next public wipe.

I am talking about 20 round boxes and a variety of loose rounds too. This is the only reason I started carrying an SKS again. For a while you could only find it in military areas, but since maintenance last week I have been finding it all over. But, yes, not in houses. Just pick up trucks, radio/TV towers and the 3 bay garages.

I have found 7.62x39 in the back of pick up trucks in junkyards and on the floors and shelves in garages (not the storage sheds, I mean the large, 3 bay garages) of all varieties, from the 5 round box magazine for the 527, to the 10round strip clip for the SKS, also loose and in boxes. I have also found 7.62x39 on the television repeater towers too. You're not looking hard enough.

1 Ok, got it. 2. Yeah, which is why I am of two minds about having dogs in game. Love them too much to have one tortured in front of me in DayZ. I'd be raging

It was an M35 cargo truck, 2.5 tons in not what the truck weighs.. That is the tonnage it can carry cross country, it weighs almost 13000 pounds empty. Roughly the same as a V3S.

For 1 & 3 why the hate on for "westerners"? Are you saying people from the east are inherently better at wilderness survival? Take a Tokyoite or Seoulite or Bejinger and plop them into the Maine woods with what we start with in DayZ and see how well they do. You aren't considering personal hygiene in your equations either, persons who did their best to maintain their personal hygiene while in German Concentration Camps were more likely to survive than those who did not. This also proved true in the Gulag and in Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese POW camps. 5. We had dogs too, which is what would provide salvation and companionship for the lone wolf. I have heard it said seriously, in anthropological circles, that without dogs co-evolving with us there is a good possibility that civilization as it is today would not exist.

on a Fourth of July in Korea, while on the DMZ some years ago we had a sort of game day. This included pushing a 2.5 ton truck around fire base Warrior Took about 20 people to do it but we even rolled that puppy up a slight incline.

Don't forget though some people would make great lighthouse keepers and I always put myself in that category. I got a degree in anthropology because I dislike people so much I wanted to see if that would help me figure out why. I learned a great deal but not that, although it seems the first mistake were cities and it all went to hell after that. Personally I never had an issue with random sounds. I thought it was a great way of inducing paranoia due to social inactivity. In fact I think random noises should intensify the longer you spend time alone in a formerly high populated area, out in the wilderness not so much, you get more of the mountain man thing going. Remember the scene in the Omega Man when he hears all the phones start to ring? That's what I mean. Have you heard the bells tolling midnight in Cherno? I have or at least I think I did. People are resilient and will find ways to cope or go mad trying. Right Wilson? (I ask turning to my trusted volley ball companion). Besides, I figure most of those who play DayZ SA are gonna end up as real life versions of Marvin Boggs. If my character requires complex surgery will I need to find a player that is a real life qualified doctor? No? Then what's the point? If my character dies then he dies and I get a fresh spawn. If death truly were permanent in game then every time a freshie died he'd have to buy a new game to get back in. A guy I went to high school with died from a burst appendix while doing missionary work in Africa. Sucks ass but happens all the time. I mean jeez where do we draw the line? Are we going to have characters qualified to conduct mastectomies on female characters to prevent breast cancer???

Shoots, I didn't play the mod too much but yeah, it crawled with zeds. Finding stuff wasn't nearly as easy. On the mod spawning into a place that has 8-10 zeds versus the 1 or maybe 2 that we get in the SA in the same place is/was not unusual. And scary too. Most of the buildings we can go into now are not accessible in the mod either though.
