Honorable mention for me is burlap sack for backpacks and for ghillie suits, and a gas stove - combining it with gas canister and cooking pot doesn't take any extra slots and you can cook anywhere instantly, love it.

Tip about the police stations and medical buildings. Not only checking the vehicles around these areas, but also check the buildings around them also, any building within 30 meters I believe has a chance of spawning items from those locations in them.

The best thing about the pot is that takes zero room in your inventory, since it takes the same amount of room as it has inside, and you can fill it with water even if it's full of items. I usually put repair items inside and place it in a quickslot. Find a quiet spot, drop it on the ground and fix everything.

I am brand new to DayZ and your videos have meant the difference between me dying immediately from starvation with my pockets full of junk, and actually surviving long enough to be killed my another survivor for the decent gear I have collected. Keep up the great content.

I wish you could layer clothing in DayZ for colder weather when you go more north. I always try to put on camo clothing to blend in more with my surroundings, but most military clothing only provides low-medium insulation.

The hunting knife is really good for taking out zombies now. Two fast swipes to the head for most regular zombies as well as the stealth option.

These videos help new players A LOT. Thanks for your help in learning dayz. Love the game, couldn't be playing without you ❤

Many of these items have great utilities, but make sure not to carry too many as to avoid impeding your stamina

Another thing you should look out for is Garden Lime. This will help you get tanned leather from rawhides and can let you craft different clothes, a backpack, and my favorite: leather shelters

Good vid. For me, the first item I would look for is a cutting tool. Even two stones can be made into knives and then used for fire making until a real knife in good condition is found.

Hey man, I'm new to dayz and I've been rolling solo on a private server to get the basics down on how to play. Your videos have been a lifesaver!

Hey bro , never stop making these videos! They are so helpful and keep me and my friends informed on how to stay alive 🤣 your content is fire man , keep doing you !

Always recco your vids to new players. Thanks for creating these in a such a calm and functional tone. Love.

Love this info. Good reminder of a few items and their uses that are easily forgotten over time when playing.

- Sharpening stone (repair knife/axe) - Chlorine tablets (water from lakes) - Rope & fishing hook (for fishing rod, especially on Namalsk)

This helped me a lot actually in. Recognizing which items to go for when starting out

You know, i never got a wound infection from using either bandages or rags. I go with the other guy too - gas stove and cooking pot/frying pan as a MUST. You can use the cooking pot / stove as a store, the cooking pot holds water AS WELL AS items, a d while the pot, stove and bottle take up a 12 slot (console) EACH, when combined they only take up a 12 Slot all TOGETHER and you can hide 12 slots of items - marvelous!!! And makes cooking on the run without too much light - fast and easy no lighter required.

A full blood bag of my own clean blood. Saved me from a surprise gaz zone while looting christmas presents

I always check the clothing if there is any lying in or around the medical buildings, because from time to time they can also have medi gear.

I’ve been playing dayz for a month now and this taught me a thing or two.👍

I’d say the drysack as well. One time in a hardcore server, I died from hypothermia, because my matches were so damp that they wouldn’t light a fire. A drysack would’ve saved my life

As of late I have been keeping a rock on me, 1 slot for an emergency knife in case my knives go bad waxing zombies. Multivitamins are the fix all medicine(pill), no medical required to collect, take before drinking dirty water or eating raw fat/meat/guts in a pinch. For pvp sneaky bandaging, keep a disinfected bandana! Have to check since this last patch but you can bandage a cut silently with one of these! Good luck, and God speed.

Best 2 item you need for staying alive and full is a knife and sharping stone Side note for new players learn to make a fishing pole there’s a lot of lakes and spots to fish all over the map so you won’t starve

My favourites are definitely gas stove and gas canisters (preferably large) because if you have a cooking pot, and you combine all of them together, they all take up literally no space because you can still fill the pot with water, and food!

decided to setup a solo server. zombie kills at 1500+ so far. the things i find really important are. 1: blood bags and saline solutions, set them up ready for immediate use. 2: weapon cleaning kits, the fouling of weapons in the game is highly unrealistic. a 22LR weapon can fire thousands of rounds before cleaning, in real life. centrefire rifles including military can fire hundreds of rounds prior to cleaning as well. 3: if you hear a wolf howl they will attack soon after. get to hunters stand, get on the roof of any car, elevation may save you while you shoot them. 4: an obvious one, grab anything you can find for carrying extra kit asap, you can refine what you need as you go along.

Hell yeah! Always love seeing a nitno video show up on my feed!

Bones! Ultimate survival item for the fishing hooks and plenty of small ''working knives''. I always carry a stack of pristine cloth to craft the hand/feet wrapping, splint, bandages, rope etc..

I can’t explain how much I like the background music to your videos.

I been playing DayZ for awhile now and I didn't know some of the things in this video, thank you

My first few days on this game I searched high and low for a water bottle. After about 40 hours in game searching several towns constantly i finally found one. The next day after finding the initial one I found 3 within 10 min in one town. It's cool that the loot table is totally random but 4 days straight as a new player without any water container is very very difficult. Now when my bottle says its severely damaged I turn it into a suppressor to get one last use of it before it's ruined and good for nothing.

I started getting back into Dayz, thanks for the tips.

Simple hello. Lol I'm a newbie to dayz. Guess you can say I've been living under a rock or in one for the past decade. It's by far the best game I've ever played. Almost gave up... everytime I played. It took a minute for the learning curve. But I am glad I didn't stop. What a great experience.

A good guide as always. Thanks mate. ;)

Console has a server that is called Frostbite™ it is the closest thing to Namalsk on console Fire and a knife is your friend, which a knife is even harder to find. So yes a lighter, matches and knife is a gift when you can find them.

Old guy chiming in! I've been robbed I don't know how many times, especially in early coastal towns. A TEDDY BEAR is a great item to put in your jacket and it holds 6 slots, so I often put my starting bandage & my best loose ammunition (example, as stack of .308 or 7.62mm) into the teddy. Robbers often skip the bear, looking for the obvious items elsewhere, like in the yellow protector cases. Similar to the cases, it protects what is stored inside, and I don't know if it is a developer oversite, but I've never had a my bears get ruined or what's inside them.

yup good list. keep it up, love your videos. sooo relaxing

Not sure if anybody's done something like this already, but I'd LOVE to see some tips on concealment and safe places to rearrange your inventory and cook food and stuff. The last couple days I played I got headshot sorting loot in the big pine tree TWICE, and once at the top floor apartment of the restaurant/inn that's outside of some towns, places I thought I was pretty concealed. So far I've figured out that the small houses with a staircase at either door are decent places to make a fire, but otherwise I make a pretty easy target of myself.

(I play on a private server with just me on it.) My opinion on the items you named: Gun&leather cleaning kits, epoxy putty and duct tape are a must but the plastic bottle suppressors suck. They last 12 shots or something with the .22 LR and with all guns, it blocks your view. The cooking pot takes up too much space and i find that there's no need for it. The desinfectant is fine but i never used it. I found 5 bandages in 1 small hospital. Tetracyclin is a must, i agree but the lighter is useless. Maybe it can set campfires alight but there's not even a need for fire. You can EASILY find canned foods and dried fruits & vegetables. And finally the 9V, it's also quite useless. Rangefinders&sights work without it, NVG goggles and flashlights are useless cause it never turn dark for some reason and that's about all.

Derringer...got trapped in a house and got a 2 piece for the win. Got me out a tight situation

I have no idea how many times saving my original spawn shirt for rags has saved me from early game cuts

Very helpful as always. Really appreciated. Thanks.

Great video!

Great video as always!

Thanks for the information!

I knew Epoxy was used for helmets, but didn’t realise it fixes Plate carriers too! Thanks 👍

Awesome as always!

I started playing 1 week ago and by watching these videos I can now survive easier and play tactical against other players I tend to carry a few rags and disinfect them they always come in handy and any high caliber rounds I find I tend to try keep them or at least stash them in a wooden crate smash a tree down just before server restart where I know I won't lose then and after server restart the chest will be hidden within the tree

Great tip vid as always. ❤

Lockpicks; being able to get into bases, and the ability to lock yourself whilst healing is infinitely helpful.

This is a great list. I’d add charcoal tabs and high or best insulation clothing. Also I dislike the tactical look for rp purposes but on namalsk I will wear a ballistic vest to increase my resilience. Lots of great info thank you.

I'd also say always cast an eye over boonie hats; if they have a + there's a fish hook in it worth grabbing. Would also +1 sharpening stone, they're a must for keeping knives and axes in good condition. Knives in turn are also super valuable for opening tins of food without much loss, and for skinning/butchering animals.

And the cooking pot is definitely a good one I use it to store my food and watter all in one

Very helpful tips and nicely edited videos.

Regarding Tetracycline - keep fed, hydrated and wear warm clothing and you never need it. This means early on putting on stupid clothing like the pea coat or quilted jacket but anything warm works. It also means a lot of the cool military clothes should be avoided. I favor the hunter's jacket and pants over everything. The military field jacket is also a great choice.

Ten items you will never find when you actually need them

Whenever I go out I usually take a stack of rags and a stack of bones, rags are basically bandages and you can make shoes in case yours get ruined, and with a stack of bones you can make from 5 up to 10 bone knifes

every item can make the difference between life in death. i recently had a situation when my team didnt had enougth lethersewing kits and rags and so we found ourself on deerisle at the entrence of kmuc with both shoes ruined and only 2 damaged feetwrap between 2 guys without shoes. we ended up not going into kmuc and trying to make it east and went half an hour without any boots without cltohes to make feetwraps until we finally found a 5 house village with 1 pair of prestine basic boots and clothes worth 10 rags. our lifes were safed

Love your videos, thanks and keep it coming

Nice video man!

recently I look out for burlap sacks and craft or find a rope as soon as I can to craft me a nice backpack :)

Propane tanks for setting up quick ambushes. Gives you a fixed point to aim and shoot at instead of gambling your shot on a moving/leaning target

Canteen Chlorine Tablets Multivitamins Tetracycline Gun cleaning kit Leather repair kit Sewing kit or duct tape Compass IV Saline or blood bag

So that is what the expoxy putty is for, just need to find a use for the xmas tree lights!

Dry bag is a must! bury it lol. Get to crafting crates asap too. I usually go for the pickaxe, hatchet, hack saw, nails, sharpening stone lineup. bury it all!!!

Great video as always

Yeah, kids, always catch some tetra when you bounce off the shores. Daddy may have a runny nose in winter. And also don't forget sewing kits, Daddy may have shot clothes to fix, and all the duct tape may already be wasted on supressors, also it's 2x1 vs 1x1.

Helpful content, thanks!

BOOM! Yet another top tier video Captain

Hey folks nitno here always cheers up my day!😊

Didn't know you could store items in a cooking pot, will have to start picking them up

1:48 holy shit i didint know you could repair plate carrier with epoxy i thought you can only repair helmets with it and for the vest only leather sewing kit was the option thanks for the heads up

Thank you for this 👌

Good video 💯

"a simple hello" as requested 😉

Dayz became the sewing simulator with the last update. So Duct Tape is propably the most useful item on this list right now

Always having a bloodbag full already put together with iv start kit, and morphine , epinephrine, and codeine, have been saving me the most recently the blood bag the most as I’ve been playing on max pop servers only

I know this might sound a dumb question, but is Tetra able to cure salmonella? (I ate with bloody hands). I got the game less than a week ago and I'm not very experienced, your videos are helping me out very much.

Good list but I will say change the lighter out for a regular sewing kit would have made this a perfect list

I have a hard time hitting shots especially under pressure, so I also take any ammo I find and when I find a matching caliber gun I spend it all to clear a village of any zombies and with one action I make it much easier to clear the area and train my aim.

I'm actually supriced there is NO mention of a knife here? You can craft clothes witha knife You can sharpen a stick with a knife You can cut bark with a knife You can gut animals with a knife You can craft a hook with a knife There is so much you can do with a knife, but obviously,, i see this video is more focused on PvP-Needs, because you dont NEED a bottled supressor, Lighter, battery, gun cleaning kit to survive

Couple tips I didn't know,thanks

I hold onto fry-pans for the extra storage space they give, don't often cook in them though!

instead of disinfectant, why not keep an eye out for naturally spawning bandages? they always spawn in pristine sterile condition.

Good list of must grabs!

Thanks for the tips.

As a new player în dayz and survival games, your videos are verry helpfull

The first and most important Item/Skill you managed to leave out. The crafted Stone Knife. The second is the crafted Hand drill for making Fires. Every Freshie needs to know those two skills. No Tools required for either. To craft the Knife place a Small Stone in your Hand and combine with another Stone. Very useful for prepping that Chicken you just killed with your Knuckles. To make the Hand drill , take your Stone Knife and scrape dark Bark, from any Tree. Then get a long Stick, and make it into short Sticks. Combine Short Stick with the Dark Bark and craft the Hand drill. Gather some sticks and make a Fire. Cook Chicken and survive. No special Tools needed. Live long and prosper, to my new DayZers.

Thanks for your help tips

Nice tips!

Great video, thanks

Nice video!

Big help, hope you make many more!

I recently discovered epoxy putty repairs the crossbow as well.

Good tips thanks.

hey man happy hunting

Find a little yellow case and put 4 bottle suppressors in there for sneaking missions. I do that before raids and usually do two cases if it’s a long raid.

On namalsk you can reheat your ruined heat packs in a pot!

Great video! I have never picked up a cooking pot though because it takes so much space...

I thought the spark plug would be on here for sure

Great video! Thanks!
