How to survive your first day

When you start, talk to the NPC in the shelter. Ask them if they have any jobs for you, this will help you later. After you have accepted their job, say you can't leave the shelter without supplies or can you share any equipment. This will bring up 6 dialogue options, choose the one with the highest number. If they refuse keep asking. Although you may not get anything worthwhile, it may come in handy later. Next go down into the basement and search for any items. If you're lucky you may find a backpack. It's a good idea to smash ('s' key) a locker to get a pipe as a basic melee weapon for the moment. Now look at the map ('M' key) and look for the nearest town. If you're lucky you will get a town with a Military Surplus or Sporting Goods, these are two very helpful buildings. If not then don't worry, you can just loot the houses, although you have a lower chance of finding useful items. Next run to the closest of the two buildings and search it for a backpack or other useful items, then quickly search the next. If it is before 9:00 and their is a pharmacy in town then run to it (if you can make it) and grab any useful items. (E.G Aspirin, Bandages or other painkillers) Now, look at the map again and take note of any useful buildings, (Gun shops, Pharmacys or Librarys). If their is a cave outside of town then go to it, or run back to the Evac shelter (Whichever is furthest). If you brought any books with you then read them to pass the time, but at 9:00 Pm or 10:00 Pm return to town and loot the buildings you took note of. It is safest to loot at night as the zombies can't see you, but be warned they CAN HEAR YOU, so don't go smashing windows or shooting. After you have looted the buildings, return to your hideout and sleep. If its too cold then run back to town and grab some extra clothes to wear. Even though this guide isn't as good as others, it will help you survive your first night.

Gtaguy's Tips of Woodland Survival!

First things first, you will need equipment. This guide can be bent to suit many character builds. Bare essential tools. You need these things. 1. A butchering tool: machetes can work for this, also a decent backup. 2. Tent: You don't want to melt outside do you? 3. Pot: Boil Toil, Cook and broil! 4. Lighter/Hotplate: It's better when cooked right? Optionals these things can be lived without, but you will have a bad time. 1.Wood axe: Fer' chopin' up them thar' trees inta' sumthin' mor usefahl'. 2. Shovel: for digging the holes for building your cottage. (Actual Cannibal Shia LeBouf reference not included) 3. Beartraps: For catching animals. (Still not included) 4. Wood Saw: Turning logs flatter for building something unrelated to cannibal homes. 5. Bow/Gun/Whatever: Hunting.

Good Camp Locations

A good camp needs three things. 1. Water Source: Woodland critters won't give you water, and hauling toilet water to your camp will cut into your Shia LeBouf style activities. 2. NO SWAMPS: Seriously, swamps will DESTROY even one month survivors. Hauling water from these is bad too. 3. Distance from town: Can't be leading NPCs into your home to eat them while they are running off to kill zombies.

Now you should be able to figure out things from here.
