My alter ego, evening of day 5.
Since my last posting, I killed a second moose which refused to leave me alone (but there’s at least 4 more that I know of - one to the north of the shelter, two on the road from the shelter to the cabin and one to the southeast of the cabin).
I’ve also seen that I was extremely lucky with my earlier raids - there is a gang of Zs bashing a car just next to the house and sporting store I looted. I decided to skirt this area completely and went around the north side - picked up some food from a fast food, spotted a river to the north and promptly retreated since there’s a corrosive Z in the area.
On the way back, I discovered two straggler zombies. Avoiding them, I spotted a wreckage right next to a minefield sign. Browsing there in the darkness wouldn’t be wise, so I went back to the evac shelter. Also discovered that the road bends make good stash spots - sufficiently far away from the city that the Zs are no longer a bother even in the day and sufficiently close to the shelter that I can go and pick stuff up.
I awoke during the day so used it to scout to the east. There were four crates just beyond the crossroads - I pried the covers off to discover a superalloy MBR, a kevlar vest, combat boots, winter army clothes, some explosives, a gun and mismatched ammo. Most of it is still there since it’s so far away from my base. I did haul the MBR back the next day, though.
Going to the cabin and back to cook takes some time, though. I need to find a way to cook in the shelter or close to it. And I really could use a cart or a wheelbarrow, the low max weight hurts.
