Finding stuff

[Excanto 336]

My opinion about the loot system is forget everything we learned up until now and imagine it is your first day here and your curious and you look everywhere. The only old knowledge that seems worthwhile is where to find a water pump. I run like a madman to the water pump, finding a pet bottle and canteen and some clothes and pumpkin seeds along the way. Pet bottle holds more then the canteen at the moment. I get to the water pump and drink up and find a small shovel in a nearby farm and booyah I am gonna live!!  Grow some pumpkins and eat up and head out from my new base of operations and find all sorts of things that are useless by themselves. Gun with no ammo, ammo with no gun, Gas stove with no gas bottle. Pristine ACOG scope OMG!!! I can't drop that pile of crap lead weight that is useless without the rifle. So many things I find that I can't use and can't drop because they are wonderful!!! I don't have good enough clothes etc with lots of pockets so I have to pick and choose wisely. I know if I set down the acog in a field that I will find a helicopter crash minutes later, not. I run to a military camp I know of and yes, canteens, pet bottles, cans of food, better clothes, an sks FINALLY a rifle I have rounds for. Off to a spot with lots of trucks and tanks, better gear and an axe and helmet and better backpack. Big long loop mostly avoiding the zombies and big towns and back to the farm almost dead from starvation and thirst and loss of blood. :-O   Drink and plant some pumpkins and camp there till I am full health again. Ok have some burlap strips so I try for a swim to prison island and the place is barren, no nets, no nothing and swim back. Hmm where should I go next? Is the game harder? Ya! Is it a cake walk? No! Am I having fun? Ya! Do I want better gear? Ya! Guess I'll have to go check somewhere much more dangerous.......

always carry rope and a burlap sack.  if you have to drop something, make an improvised pack with the rope and the sack and leave it in that.  it should stay (should) where you left it.
