You can also carry 1 small stone with you, and combined with a single bone will give you a bone knife, and you can use this small stone over and over again

[@steverose3019]

Playing vanilla DayZ is probably the best way to learn, but damn is it infuriatingly difficult at times. The first 20-30 minutes after respawn can make or break you with one mistake.

Hand wraps and a knife are the absolute first things I look for when I spawn. Also make sure your hand coverings are not ruined when cutting up animals. I’ve made the mistake of sliding down a ladder with hand wraps on and ruined them, I ran 4 km near death before I got tetra.

[@Nitno]

Oh dang! Close one!

The stick shelter will be my first base ever thank very helpful

[@Nitno]

Awesome, anytime!

[@rel_9602]

If you wanna be super stealthy, you might even want to chop down a tree and building the improvised shelter on where the tree was standing. After server restart, the tree respawns and your shelter is extremely hard to spot, even if someone is standing right next to it.

[@Nitno]

Solid idea!

[@zackzimmer7167]

You need a knife or blade to cut an animal for the bones to make a bone knife.

[@Nitno]

True! Sorry I was not more thorough on that. You can use most blunt tools like a hammer, wrench, ect against large boulders to break off a stone. Equip the stone and use it against that bolder to sharpen it, boom knife has been created!

[@BENNY_MAC]

Very helpful! I'm new to DayZ so this helps a ton! Also I had a quick question. I play on Xbox, whats the difference between official and community servers?

[@Nitno]

So Official Servers will always have the default values as set the way the DayZ Developers want the game to be, often called "Vanilla". Community is a server that a person not affiliated with the DayZ Team has rented from a company like Nitrado, they can tweak many settings like amount of loot, player spawn points, amount of food, starter load outs ect.

[@BENNY_MAC]

@@Nitno thats extremely helpful! Thank you thank you!

[@Nitno]

@@BENNY_MAC Anytime!

[@rogueeshadoww6076]

Along with what nitno said, on official servers your character (and the loot on that character) transfer between any official server, however on community servers every character is unique and you will only have that loot on said server

[@doctajonz2828]

Them bones…I had no idea you could create a knife from a bone and sharpen it on a rock. Thanks!

[@Nitno]

Yesss, pretty neat trick! You are very welcome.

[@kevinlee6580]

You can also combine the bone knife or stone knife with a long stick to make a spear! You can stab with it but unfortunately you can't throw it like a spear

[@SlyMenace]

If you want a faster way to make a fireplace just light the bark you don't have to combine anything.

[@Nitno]

That's actually a really cool tip, thank you Sly!

a even faster way is to just light some rags

[@Tinkletwisterthe3rd]

You can also sharpen small stones on boulders to make a stone knife. Hardest part is actually finding the small stone though lol. Trade it for a better knife later though as it has bad durability and breaks quick.

[@Nitno]

Another great tip!

[@mal798]

You can hit boulders with a heavy tool to get small stones.

[@nuntisgaming8100]

Or travel along train tracks to find small stones

[@understoodoutput8869]

what was the sniper you used in the suppressor clip?

[@harlow400]

SK 59/66 my man. Definitely a go to rifle for me. Uses 7.62x39mm so lots of ammo around, 10 round internal magazine, so just put new rounds in, no detachable mag hassle. And a decent rate of fire and decent damage combined with a good PU scope make it great for pvp and hunting alike.

[@harlow400]

Oh if you meant the second clip I think the mosin lol. Only rifle I know of that has a wood finish all the way down the barrel. And the PU scope.

[@Nitno]

Harlow got it! SK first clip, Mosin 2nd

[@obscurewez]

What does it mean when it shows a picture of my foot? Did i sprain it, is it broken? Am i able to amputate it?

[@Nitno]

basically that means you took "shock damage" to your leg. Nothing will happen yet, but if you keep taking shock damage to your legs / feet then you will get a broken leg. So be careful jumping off stuff when the foot symbol is up.

[@obscurewez]

@@Nitno Appreciated brother, makes sense. I was doing a bit of wild parkour and it started showing that but I was eventually limping and had no idea what was happening because I wasn't bleeding.

Brooo, long time no see! Hope you are well.

[@riquelmeone]

9 out of 10 times you need a knife to get bones which makes the bone knife somewhat pointless

True true, but you can use things like a screwdriver to skin as well.

[@davemcaleavey4215]

How do you do this stuff on console?

[@Nitno]

I don't okay console sorry, maybe another can chime in.

[@melissajkxoxo]

It’s the same idea. Combining the objects. For me on XBOX if I’m holding one item and hover over a combinable item B shows up as the option to combine.

[@AAA-xh1gu]

With the drill kit, it will show up as you can only make the campfire by holding the right trigger, simply tap the right trigger to scroll to the next craft.

So, I lived a nomadic lifestyle from 1984 to 2014, yeah, 30 years. The latter 20. I spent studying these very skills in real life. Over the last 10 years I've dealt deeply into video games, my latest addiction over the last few years is a heavily modded fallout 4, I have however, been looking at this game and escape from tarkov. The fact that this game at least incorporates these skills as part of the process of surviving, I find exceptionally intriguing.

So there are more than one option when you combine bark and sticks, if you are on PC you need to scroll to the next option, not sure the console button for that. But yeah basically it's just cycling through other options.
