Detailed guide on scavenging for essential building materials like wood, metal, cloth, and nails in H1Z1.

To build your first safehouse, you'll need several materials. Wood is abundant; chop down trees with an axe (crafted from a branch and scrap metal) or pick up loose logs. Scrap metal can be found by dismantling cars with a wrench or searching industrial areas. Cloth is obtained from tearing up clothing or finding fabric scraps. Nails are crucial for construction and are often found in toolboxes or sheds. Prioritize these materials early on. Always be aware of your surroundings while scavenging, as you're vulnerable to both infected and other players.
