Equipment

**Equipment**, the largest of the four primary categories of loot in DayZ, refers to any item or tool that can be worn or used for specific purpose. Since equipment covers such a vast array of items, it is easier to define what equipment is not. Equipment does not include items used for who nourishment. Equipment does not cover natural, or manmade resources used for crafting like sticks, large- and small stones, feathers, planks, etc. Finally, equipment does not include items whose primary use is as a weapon. Although weapons are not classified as equipment, a lot of equipment, namely tools, can be used as weapons in DayZ. Being such a large and broad category, equipment is broken down into several smaller categories, which may in turn have their own subcategories, based on the item's primary use.

## Base Building
