They should make it were we are able to catch rain with items like empty whiskey bottles etc.... anything that could catch it. Also I think they should expand the time it takes to die from dehydration/hunger.

Happened to me also very furstrating then I died, luckily. That happened with 1.7.2.4

1st tell me exactly where you are at :) ? Off topic here but shouldn't we be able to use for say empty whiskey bottle or water bottle to catch rain?

Yeah as a noob and I'm one. It can get furstrating but it's all about survival in the DayZ world. I find it very realistic in that everyone is thinking "can I trust this person?" Kinda of like in the 1st movie the thing not the crappy remake where you don't know who to trust. Every animal's 1st instincts is to survive how each one goes about that is different, that's why there's bad people and good people in the world. Although it can get furstrating it's called survival and if there's only one can of food left whatcha gonna do?
