DayZ just had it’s 10th anniversary! It is just a great game, complicated and unwieldy but man you can do pretty much anything.

Obviously there’s the zombies, that’s a given, but everyone I meet is playing a different game. PvP can be bonkers… or you can live as a woodland hermit; foraging mushrooms and fruit, hunting animals and fashioning outfits from their pelts. The possibilities are endless!

An active modding community and regular developer updates means it never gets stale. Fantastic platform, I think it’s neat.

We got out of the city before door dash, grocery delivery, etc. so we don’t even know what we’re missing when we trek over a hundred miles to the Costco. I’d imagine that makes it easier!

Starlink is everywhere! There is no cell service here so we had much more limited communication prior.

It’s a beautiful dream! Almost a decade ago my family and I left the city and bought land with some other folks. Now it’s just us out here in the wilderness, others are welcome but most people can’t leave the city.
