I usually assault as many deer stands as I can from the start because they're not heavily guarded and provide a good chance for AK weapons, water bottles and ammo. From there I usually head to a moderately sized town which has supermarket to find food and tools. From there I usually head to Stary military camps for additional firepower and from there to NW airfield. I usually find players willing to help each other around the airfield and then the process of finding and fixing vehicles.
