I didn't go to electro, I foregoed all cities and ran for the hills

Thanks for the help. I'm not exactly sure where I am, but I'll keep following the road (hidden in the forest nearby, of course) until I see a sign. cheers!

I'm new to day z (not to arma) and was just curious. It also sucks that each shot takes 1 inv slot. I haven't had much luck in terms of food and water in barns, but i do have a hatchet and lots of misc ammo. Now if i just found a sidearm.... But I think I will keep the einfield and drop it and use my hatchet if need be (then run back and grab it of course) but thanks for the input. Any other north raiding advise would be welcome while im here

I am somewhere north in a barn, and I had a lee einfield with 10 shots, but I found a crossbow with 3 shots. I know I can keep picking up crossbow ammo, but I despiratly need to head back toward electro for food and water, as I am having no luck north, and an Einfield is great for PVP. yet the crossbow is silent, so i can kill zombies and unluckly players without drawing attention. What is the best choice in this situation? would a crossbow always be better than an einfield due to its silence? even if it lacks range? The crossbow basically has unlimited ammo as long as i pick up shots
