ok, all night of searching ...

I finally got the "toolbox" packed and can use it now.  
Word of advice on that ... there are TWO different sledgehammers ( i found out the hard way.) Sledgehammer number one is whole, it goes in the toolbox.
 Sledgehammer number two, you must find a head and a sledgehammer handle and after you pack the toolbox, you can craft the sledgehammer.

 Last thing I found was a grindstone ... I searched 5 towns every building, every place plus Polana factory ... last place I checked ( factory north of Solincity near the coast) I finally found one.

 In order to cut wood from trees, you need a hatchet.  In order to do much of anything with the wood, you need a sharp knife. ( to make wood-chips , to make lumber/plywood at least.)
 I hadn't tried crafting anything yet, I just now found the items I needed, and was out of play time tonight. GRRR!

 With a sharp knife or Hunting knife, you can craft things with canvas and tear clothes for rags/canvas , and of course do some wood work, and cut/gut animals for food.
 I think canvas can be crafted to make a tent.

You need a pick axe to mine rocks ... any place that has rocks on the ground, you can mine a bit from.  Then you need the sledgehammer to use those rocks to craft walls and gates/foundations. ( Thats all I've discovered so far on it )

A shovel+ sandbags can craft a "stash" ... not the etool, but shovel.  
Etool is used for the base construction in epoch , like to make H barries and sandbag walls.

 I think ... you can get lumber from pallets found ... kinda neat.  
two lumbers you can make 1 plywood from.
With 2 lumbers and one plywood ( once you have all the tools lol ) ... I think you can make a workbench.

I hadn't tried it yet , but if I remember correctly from epoch, you need a workbench near where you are gonna craft a base or base parts, to make most the big things ... like walls, floors , doorways, ... but also things to store items in as well ... like crates and gun-racks ...

 As of right now ... I'm a bit "torn" on what to do first ... Now I can craft somethings ... I really want to set up a camp (if I got the stuff to make a tent at least) , as my inventory is quite full, I need some temporary storage at least ... I also want to see what it's going to take to start building a base ...
But , ... I'm not really in the area I'd like to build in , lol.

However ... the Jeep I found is near the area I'm in ... and I can't decide if thats more important to get fixed up or not yet ...
I did find some other vehicles around: a Box truck, a Ural, a armed SUV , and a cargo van ... they all need major work though ...
a tire takes up six inventory slots , and most are flat or damaged ... So, it's gonna be a process just to get tires it seems.
 I'm not sure exactly all of what fixing up a vehicle takes ... besides the toolbox, because I found an engine repair manual , I found spark plugs, car batteries , a wheel jack , a funnel, ... so we'll see on that I guess.
 
 But ... even though a vehicle would make things nice ( and give some extra storage ) ... I might go find my spot to build, and start that if I can ... then return for the jeep later ... or another vehicle ...
  At least a "starter camp" to work from if i can do that much.

 But it's kind of a catch-22 ... hahaha, the vehicle would make it faster/easier to get some parts for building, defiantly less weight carried long ways.
 I noticed if you carry a lot of stuff, your water use goes down fast!
I've picked up some building supplies on my way around ... cause i didn't know how easy/common they were to get ... so i got some stuff in my bag already.
  But , I need to build some stuff, so i can store some things and be able to carry vehicle parts ... so, I dunno if I'll get the jeep running first , or look for a place to put my base/camp at ...
 
I'll probably get started on the base first ... I'm just very uncertain as to where ... I'm not far from berizino atm ... thats pretty far up north, but a way away from about anything too ...
  I don't know, if the mission/mod is set that once you start building in an area ... thats where it's going to be ...
 in Epoch, you had plot poles you had to buy , in order to make bases. Since this is single player ... I don't know if you need a plot pole or not ... I don't know what it takes to make one if so.
 I also found House Building documents ... So that might be the "plot pole" , or it might be used for the origins building stuff ... I don't know.  

 I'll find out though I guess.

If I screw up, I suppose I could revert a save ... or just start over from scratch if needs be ... but , wow 3 days of searching just to get the bare necessities ... lol , I'd rather not have to go through all that again hahaha!
