Hatchet and Flashlight are tools

[PAiN512 10]

Title pretty much sums it all up.

In the real world the hatchet (to gather wood) and the flashlight (to illuminate the darkness) are both tools and thus should be categorized as such in order to be carried in the tool section of your inventory.

Since the latest patches I am now unable to gather my own wood for cooking and I have no room to carry another primary weapon which is what the hatchet is now considered to be. It is also not worth it to drop my main primary (M16 M203) and risk it disappearing so that I can gather some wood....

-Thank you

I support this, I hate carrying a military flashlight in my backpack, only bringing it out when it gets dark.

Now my group only uses one person for woodcutting duty, as the inventory limit is insane.

Why do you need a hatchet to gather wood anyway? I have been camping many times and never needed a hatchet to gather wood.

It does fall to the ground naturally.

Once again, a big deal is being made out of something in-game that in real life would be considered inconsequential.

Free wood for all in the DayZ world!

I think flashlights in weapon slots is an engine limitation,

Also you should be able to find firewood in barns.

I think this is an easy fix, Axe=melee, hatchet=tool. Or add a right click option to move the hatchet from tool to weapon and vis versa. Weapons cannot not be slotted into the "tool" section. But the flash light could use a similar approach to what I just suggested (right click on it in the tool section to move it to the pistol slot)
