Complete DayZ Base Building Guide for 2024 

The Knots on the fence kit point outwards to stop confusion if you place from the side or front. Also I like to have multiple kits set up to have a plan to close all gaps etc. Cheers. GG

I'm a veteran of the game, but I still watched these tutorial vids, very cool. Your delivery is catchy, keep it going.

Thank you for the video. This has been the best and clearest videos about base building so far that I have seen. Love the hands on approach.

This videos timing couldn’t be better, in my 5k hrs of playing dayz the most I’ve ever built is a makeshift shelter, but I recently lost a bet to a friend and now I have to commit to helping him build and defend a base and I haven’t a clue where to start until now, thank you cam.

thank you for constantly going through information from the start of the video towards the end cause it's a lot of information to absorb at once but you made it easy. Thank you :) me and my friends will have fun

As someone who is returning to DayZ after only having played the alpha, those detailed guides are invaluable. Thanks so much!

I’ve came back to the video a couple times again. 😅 thanks dude!

I live in a bush ..no joke ....I've played for years ..an as soon as u build a base ..u can see it even with camo or placement. I have found pine trees and just built stick huts like a bunch all over ...and most never get found

Probably not gonna build a base but this video is awesome. Thanks Cam!

Best base building tutorial around! Thanks man :)

Loving how in depth your videos are thank you for posting ❤

Can not wait for this thanks cam this is going to be a massive help

You do such a great job teaching not preaching I've learned so much and I've never played

This was so helpful. Thank you

Great video bud. This helped me a lot. ✊

this helps immensely, thanks breghh

This was great :) thanks

well I mark this video to see it in future, for sure !! Ths

This is what i needed. Ive been running around trying to find another tent kit crawling thru dew glistened grass in the dark hours of my mornings. Hoping the skinz just walk the other fucking way. My face is covered in mud and leaves and i havent showered in 2 weeks. Ive got a wicked cough that only a smoker would love and my shoes are carrying a conversation with one another. Ive been rummaging thru bookcases and department stores looking for books and phamplets on building and all i had to do was pull out my phone and youtube this shit. Im crawling back to my hole.

Very helpful man.

Building my first base on official only made couple gates before. Hidden in the mountains I've stashed 6 large tents one small and a car tent all camoed and have first section build, it will resemble a ant nest l, the entrance is along the cliff edge, gates to chuck players off the edge added, barbed ofc... all solo, lacking in arsenal and explosives but once I'm well set up I'll set out to take my first raid 😂 gonna be a blast

great vid!

This is going to change the way I play. You’ve opened my eyes

As I kept listening I recognized your voice! Praise the sun

@camcantrun would you be into making a video on inventory management for max stamina? I feel like im not carrying more than i need yet ive got maybe a 1/4inch of stamina and can only run for 2 seconds...is there a way to shuffle things around so i have more stamina or do i simply have to carry less? Example guns on shoulders instead of in backpack type of thing. Thanks man. Love ur content ✨️

I’m half way through the video and you’ve built the fence and I’d like to point out that big open window on the back of or side of the house I can jump through from outside . I’ve done it

Comment for my friend, al. Al Gorithm.

Binge watching your videos. I haven't played day in 10 years. This is all new to me. Can you do a guide on a Ghillie?

To help if you don’t have space you can build a wooden crate and put 50 planks inside to save you from walking so much

Nice vid. Remeber that you can jump inside the building through every window with broken glass ☝️sonyou should build the wall in this room with the chimney 🤟

I've finally, after more hours than I care to admit, got to a point where I can survive in the game without too much difficulty. I think this is gonna be my next project.

Great vid.

Impossible to get a base going solo, got it! haha.What would you do? make a crate and loot for base building stuff for a day or two?

I’m super new to dayz how do you get planks and do you have to use metal to build a wall or gate?

Just what have been needing to watch. I'm building as far away from civilization as possible

Ok maybe it's because I have been a builder is a ton of ganes before I started dayz but I've only been playing day z for less than a year. Less than 2 weeks ago I started to look at build tutorials just to see if there was anything I didn't know. Sadly there is not. I figured out the walls soft side hard side day one common sense same with the gate and the platform even figured out the double standing tall wall. It's not a mystery really. It's all right there to help you figure it out as you go. The thing that messed me up the most is the locks still does sometimes it will go 2 clicks really fast and miss counting it but it's not hard. I'd advice if you have a vehicle to help with resources use sea chest you can put like 9 or 10 rocks in it or 10 stanks of planks drop them in the trunk takes up 100 spaces it just helps gathering stuff way faster than carrying it around

You mentioned either the shovel or the pickaxe can be used for the logs, can the garden hoe be used as well?

If you only can make lower or upper metal. Would you want the bottom to be metal so the can’t just destroy it and crawl through or are they able to climb over it anyway if the top is destroyed

Oh since he does not mention it if you want to go say to high walls after you build the first part of a wall just attach the fence kit to the top of the first wall build it just the same way you can go higher if you want if you can reach the top of a wall you can make it taller

If i put 3 walls not to close to each other but close enough will it be destryed too or you need another 7 granades i still preffer sma tree then a base

How do I dismantle my roof on my Watchtower because it is not letting me

I love this video for beginners to veterans but I think you forgot to mention the other work arounds for tools like to make the base you could also use a farming hoe and to biuld the fame and stuff you can also use a meat tenderizer but sadly the biggest loss is there isn't a different tool you can use for making a gate

When putting the wire on the wall to make a gate, how do you choose which side you want the wire to go? I've made a gate but coz the base of the gate is too far to unlock the combo lock which caused being locked in my base coz I couldn't reach the combo lock to unlock😫😩

love love love dayz.

If chop down trees and build a wall where the tree was (does it allow that) what happens when the tree repawns on the restart?

Almost at 4K subs cam!

Iv been living in the forest for two months befor this vid lol

Best mouse/key bindings video?

Can you break down a wall from the hard side with tools?

So I'm a bit confused about some of the recent patches/updates is there or is there not base/wall damage for official servers? I've found a couple of bases and typically don't raid just out of respect for fellow survivors, but I decided to give it a go once and the wall just would NOT break no matter what I did lol. 😅

Can u jump over the built fences? They seem short

you know you can rotate the kits with mousewheel right? but otherwise thank alot

Are these tips helpful for PS4 and love the videos

Good location for base, an in game house asset cuz building mats are ridiculous.

Where is this location? Its perfect 👌

How do you find metal sheets?.

If you don't have a shovel or a pickaxe you can also use a farming hoe.

Can someone build a structure near your base to climb on top? Or there's a security zone where nobody can put structure beside yours?

I have a real question how in the hell am I supposed to gather all those materials when I can’t even find Food ? Are there special places where all these materials are made available?

But always keep in mind that bases are temporary and always have stashes to keep valuable loot safe

How can i respawn in bed? How to make bed?

So you can't just casually walk in and out of your base if it's locked? You gotta unlock and pick it up Everytime?

i need the location of the house pleaseeee

I see piles of logs alone the road from time to time. These cant be used for building?

where is that nice place? can I get coordinates pls?

Please tell me you have gotten back in touch with Barry 😭

😊

I literally see these items left and right. The day I think "Hey lets grab some tools and stash them to build a base" No tools were ever seen again. My kingdom for a Saw and some Nails....so dumb lol. That said, I'd rather bury my shit randomly...much safer and more secure than a base. IZurvive helps mark locations...to eliminate remembering. "Yeah...but anyone with a shovel can just rob you...it takes effort to raid" You never found one of my stashes...Building a base is a multi-player effort....and a couple players can take it down with know how.

How do you keep all this loot without losing it?

Cam can i build on vanilla server?

Basé building is my fav part of this game 💀 , am I normal ?

Get to work guys 😂😂

Why dose your character look like 50 cent 😂😂😂😂

A tactical candy cane, bro? Really? 😅

Hot take : if base bluffing was removed it would be a better game 🤷‍♂️

Get better kid

you withhold or delete anythingbut a positive comment ?

2024 and your still in building guide.?lol noob

Make better content my grandma knows these before you lol

at no point did you explain what these items are, you said fence kit and watchtower kit, sure you can assume what you mean by those by the words you say IF you have played dayz before AND done the base building... all you are doing here is pointing out the obvious to people who already know and teaching nothing to people who dont.
