Can I Survive in a SINGLE FOREST CELL in Project Zomboid?

For a challenge, I tried surviving in a single forest cell in Project Zomboid with minimal gear and equipment from civilization. Can you obtain food, water and shelter here?

Fishing in zomboid is a massive help for sustainability, once caught a pike which had around 5k calories stored

"something that just makes games intrinsically fun and reminds me of the curiosity with which i explored them in youth"
Wowzers, I felt that.

Me & my Brother had one of my favourite memories in gaming playing Project Zomboid.
We toiled for days, walling off a base, clearing and burning the bodies, then spent ages on the farming... all we had were cabbage seeds, so we grew a ton of cabbages. We barely survived till harvest time - and finally did it - we harvested our first crop of cabbages... we had found tons of flour, and a lot of yeast - we could bake bread!
This was it! We had secured a food source and thought we might make it through the winter.
We made cabbage sandwiches - patted ourselves on the back for "a job well done" - and took a bite.... then immediately both of our characters got the "depressed" moodlet.
Turns out we hated cabbage sandwiches.

"Low level spear fishing catches small fish" I always wonder why games do this. It takes skills to spear a small fish.

AA doesn't start a video with "hello"
Me: oh okay

Worth mentioning is that while Thoreau lived in the woods to enjoy and experience nature, he lived within easy walking distance of Concord, MA, often going to town to visit those he knew, as well as entertaining guests - simple and deliberate living, rather than isolation. Yet in making this series, AA truly is living as Thoreau did - connecting with nature, but maintaining the connection with the community that he calls home, and in turn, the people who call him "friend."

I've never actually created a home in zomboid, I always just walled off other structures or made car fort walls, this is really intresting.

I used to play this online around 2018. Made a base in the woods with this arab-russian kid who barely spoke any english. Great times.

Gerald Williams is how I survived rocking my baby at night many months ago. I may never play Zomboid, but it certainly has a special place in my heart because of AA

the amount of diversity this game has is just amazing.
All of these traits, items, skills, etc.
You can do so much, so freely.
It sounds like this isn't the popular way to play this game, but I can imagine the developer having it as a feature instead of "oh yea that mechanic is useful there"

[nedmacgill]

AA loves games like Rimworld and Project Zomboid so much, I'm suprised he hasn't checked out Neo Scavenger.

Fun fact: you can drink straight from river and you'll be ok. But if you put it in the bottle, the water will be always deadly for some reason.

I dig your sense of humor and appreciate the effort you put into making quality content in this post ad-pocalypse hellscape youtube.

As I keep hearing "In anticipation of multiplayer" over the years, I'm increasingly convinced it's either a running joke I'm missing or there's some sort of colossal update to multiplayer mode that keeps getting pushed back

[drago]

D-Did he just make a floating wooden fort?

[blueninjanoname]

He survived in nature without even making fire. This is madness!

Fun fact: AA are his initials and his favorite club

I met Japanese and Indian dudes playing this. The Japanese didn't speak English, the Indian had a thick accent and nobody understood my aussie accent. We somehow managed to go a real long way. Great times... I still play with the Indian dude from time to time. The Japanese guy got married and doesn't have time to play games anymore
