Dreadfell 5 Posted August 31, 2012 My current character has been alive for three days. I spent a cold rainy night crawling to hospital in some town near Balota. had a broken leg and it was the first time I entered a hospital.Plenty of medical supplies(YAY!)and now I can get back to my usual goal...to eat food. Killed a cow and have meat but no matches,my usual story, cant find a natural fire source and am low blood and about to start losing health from hunger. I am north of balota in a small town, just found a grenade, What im gonna do after work is create a wood pile and detonate grenade near it...dont know if it will work but better than dying of hunger without trying:] 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They will patch you up and give you food. If not the oil drums in cities are sometimes on fire, and you can cook on them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xelous 28 Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) I have the opposite problem, I got a hatchet and matches... but no hunting knife to gather meat with...I however won't be trying to light fires with grenades, that's an accident just waiting to happen...I can advise however that of the times I've found matches, they've either been in out-houses - literally the shitta out back - or in supermarkets. Go look in some out houses before you 'nade that pine. Edited August 31, 2012 by Xelous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allie (DayZ) 97 Posted August 31, 2012 Find a barrel, an oil drum, you can light them too to cook your meat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sturmwaffles 38 Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) I'll come light your fire, sir."Sturmwaffles" on Skype, I can come help you out if you need. As long as you promise to not shoot me, I can give you a hand, I am in the neighborhood c: Edited August 31, 2012 by Sturmwaffles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkrooLoose (DayZ) 143 Posted August 31, 2012 Or if you really want to risk it; wait until night and head in to one of the big cities. There's barrels burning at night. You can get warm and cook there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twinturbonet (DayZ) 294 Posted August 31, 2012 I doubt the grenade will ignite the wood, but go for it!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreadfell 5 Posted August 31, 2012 Ive yelled for help but nobody around. I may try to hit someone up on skype. Another thing, I have been stalking and killing zombies very successfuly and finding they drop useful things(water bottle/food/soda).it also seems that they are spawning in twos now, alot more out there but still easy to kill as they will get buggy and forget your there alot of the time.

sturmwaffles 38 Posted August 31, 2012 They spawn in twos, because once upon a time, they were a group of survivors, just trying to make it ;D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
